We wanted to see what had the best reviews, was near by and a little different. The Chicken Shanty it was!! I will say we rolled up a little worried as two negative reviews had just come in from like minutes prior but we were greeted right away! We couldn't decide what to eat so we got 4 different items and if I am honest they were all AMAZING!!!!!! Seriously this place is a most go! The inside was interesting and maybe poorly done but that didn't even matter because the food was so good. We also had a good laugh with the staff. About 10 people came in for one door dash order. The guy kept saying he didn't get the food and to reorder it. The restaurant caught on the 3rd time but after that it was a laugh every time they dasher came in and gave his name. They were all good sports about it. 100% recommend The Chicken Shanty.

I'm always eager to try a new local spot, and even added this one to Yelp in anticipation. My first…read moreexperience left me wondering how long they'd stay open, but after reaching out with feedback, the owner invited me to return and give it another shot. Let me start by saying that went a long way for me, and I held my opinion until I was able to go back. The restaurant has a lot going for it really; a spacious interior, free video games, exterior dining area with a heater and a drive through. As their name implies, their menu is chicken done in various ways with signature sauces, extras like pimento cheese and cranberries, and flavors to take things up a notch. I tried a few menu items; Chicken Salad sandwich with sweet potato fries, breaded chicken sandwich with fries and their signature sauce and traditional buffalo wings, and added a signature beverage; Prickly pear lemonade. Despite the unappealing name, I also tried a Chicken Turd; a chocolate chip coconut cookie. The manager (Alex) was awesome and explained some of the sauces and options to us while taking the order. While waiting, we checked out the games where my daughter won a rubber duckie and discovered a new version of PacMan, and chatted with a very nice new employee on her break, April, who was excited to begin her journey with the company. I appreciated the companies use of eco friendly take out containers and straws as we took our meals to go. The wings were decently sized and juicy. Next time I'll order a side of buffalo wing sauce to drizzle over them. They were served with blue cheese and 5 celery sticks. Having an option to add more (& carrots) would also be nice. The chicken salad sandwich was served on a croissant and was hard to manage without the innards falling out. I don't know if it wasn't dense enough or just what, but what I tasted was good though I don't recall biting into a cranberry. The sweet potato fries were the highlight. The Prickly pear lemonade was refreshing, and they also had Pepsi fountain products. While I've dismissed most of my first experience, I was not a fan of the pumpkin iced tea. My daughter enjoyed her breaded chicken sandwich and fries with her chosen 'Voo Doo' sauce (Habanero Mango), as well as the 'turd', though she agreed the name was pretty ridiculous. No need to go there, it was a cookie and should be called that. Their menu items reflect the current inflation, so you can expect to pay around $15 per person when ordering with a side and drink. Overall, I was pleasantly pleased with the extent that the owner, Tyson, went to ensure I would be a return customer and will, in fact, recommend them to friends and family for just that. I'm glad to have gone back to support another small business.

This is a great spot for a Friday lunch with colleagues. I visit regularly with my coworkers and…read morehave consistently found the atmosphere to be comfortable and not overly crowded during lunchtime. In addition to the relaxed setting, the food is served hot and is generally very good. The bone-in wings are a standout and my usual go-to choice. The beer selection is also solid, and they offer growler fills, which is a nice option. The pizzas, however, could be improved. While some of my coworkers enjoy them, I personally am not a fan of thin-crust style.

I used a delivery service to get Mac &Cheese w/blackened chicken and a kid's fish & chips. Fish and chips delivered as if I was in houses. A little greasy but hot flakey fish with a crispy batter. One filet and a nice portion of nothing special fries. This meal was devoured so they got it right, no complaints. The Mac &Cheese was cooked well and still had a good chew to it. The sauce was creamy and well done. This dish was seasoned nicely and finished with seasoned breadcrumbs. Can't say anything about the blackened chicken because it did not make it in the dish. Too bad. As I used a delivery service, it wasn't like I could remind the server that I ordered it and have it brought out so all I got was a tasty pasta dish. Kudos to the delivery service for kicking back the up charge for the chicken. It is not their responsibility to get the order right or to check all is there. That falls to the restaurant and they failed. I will still patronize in house but not sure how I feel about getting take out from them again.

The house-made tartar and fry sauces were very good. A full house kept the staff busy, but they were still attentive and friendly. A band was about four songs into their set when I left. The house sound system does a great job of making sure everyone can hear the band, but the overall noise level was such that folks had to shout to have a conversation. They do post an entertainment schedule, so if you go there to visit with friends, do it when there are no bands playing. From prior experience, I highly recommend the "Dave's Insane" sandwich.

It showed 2 chili peppers beside it to show the strength of hotness. To me it was maybe 1 chili pepper. The size of the sandwich was amazing. I was truly expecting a smaller sandwich in comparison to most others but I was wrong. I gave this place 5 stars. The customer service was superb and the wait was well worth it for the flavor that came from the meal. The atmosphere and ambiance at the yard was a laid back and welcoming. I strongly advise trying out this place if your in the mood for some good wings or chicken sandwiches. Fries or tots as a choice for sides and what I would call smothered fries. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.
