What Folks Say
Best fried chicken I've ever had. Ive been eating here for 20 years. I live out of town, but I always make sure to stop by when I'm in BR.
Jeron WChicken Shack never disappoints!! The fish strips are always tasty and the portion size is GOOD! The shack balls are soooo amazing - definitely getting more next time 😍 And the chicken? Always crispy and packed with flavor every single time! Been eating here for years and it’s still one of my favorites
