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 come get their perfectly seasoned, super crunchy, batter fried chicken when I'm in BR.
Jeron WChicken Shack never disappoints!! The fish strips are always tasty and the portion size is GOOD! The shake balls are different but soooo amazing - definitely getting more next time 😍 And the chicken? Always crispy, never burnt, packed with flavor every single time! Been eating here for years and it’s still one of my favorites
Ernestine BThis was extremely good and a wonderful value. The sides and desserts live up to the hype. Feels like home 🏡
