Legendary Fried Chicken In Baton Rouge, quite certain Some of the best bird in the United States. A staple in the capitol city of Baton Rouge for over 7 decades. The best read more

I went here for dinner while on a business trip based on a Yelp search. I have always liked good southern fried chicken. Upon arriving I found it a little difficult to park due to all of the other cars but then that can also be a good sign. This is a very casual restaurant that does have some indoor seating but most people get it to go here. Prices are low and you get a lot of food for your $. I ordered a 3 piece chicken meal with dirty rice and shack balls as sides. I managed to snag a table while waiting for the food that arrived about 10 minutes. The chicken was very hot temp wise. It was more heavily breaded and greasy than I like but still good. I gave it a 3. The dirty rice was ok too. (3). The shack balls (which is a local specialty) are breaded and fried boudoin balls that were good and filling. The counter service was very friendly. Overall I am going to give this meal a 3 but a low 3. To my tastes this is what I call cheap chicken that is filling and inexpensive but basic in flavor. It wouldn't warrant me returning on a future visit to Baton Rouge. read more

My Husband and my Sister law are chicken connoisseurs! We ordered a 12 piece mixed with greens and red beans & rice. I had 3 pieces and when we left we had 2 pieces left. This chicken is good and the red beans & rice were very good!!!! read more

This place is almost always on point. My family and I love it so much we call it the Crack House cause it's so addictive.

So...I've been here...a lot. It's just delicious...just delicious fried chicken and every thing else. I've had the fried chicken, the mac and cheese, the cornbread dressing, the red beans and rice, the shack balls, the cole slaw, the lemon pie, and the peach cobbler...everything...delicious. There really are no words to describe the chicken...but i'll try. Juicy, flavorful, wet battered, fried to perfection. And dang if their slogan isn't right...KNUCKLE SUCKIN' GOOD! read more

Very fresh after 30 minutes it will still be good with the peppers and fries I recommend to go on Tuesdays

Fry chicken is very tasty. Side dishes are amazing. Owner is very friendly. Must go place when you visit Baton Rouge.

One of my favorite places to get chicken! I've eaten from here 3 times in the past 20 days. Atmosphere: this place is always busy when I go! Lunch, it's packed but they get the orders out quickly. Dinner, it's still packed but they still give great service. Taste: they don't skimp on freshness. It's fresh at noon and fresh at 9:30. I always get a mixed meals (either 2 or 3 pieces) and I get it to go. It's piping hot from the time I get until the time I get in my car and drive home. I always save the biggest piece for my leftovers the next day. It reheats extremely well. Their sides are delicious too. They're spaghetti and cheese is flavorful and the red beans and rice is filling and yummy! Service: quick, friendly, down home service. They know they have a job to do but still make their customers happy and laugh and joke along with them. Parking: is in a lot and while it's always packed, there's always available parking. There is no drive through. Convenience: You can call ahead to order and pick up and also order through Waitr and have it delivered. This place is a great experience and is inexpensive! You don't have to pay much for great food and they consistently prove this over and over again. read more

First time having here. The food did not disappoint!!! The boudin balls were so crispy yet very juicy on the inside. In fact, my friend actually ate so much fried chicken he fell asleep immediately after which was kind of concerning ... overall I would definitely recommend and will be read more

Arguably the best fried chicken in Baton Rouge. The locations aren't the greatest but it's worth the risk. Not a place to go if you're trying to eat healthy. Worth it. read more

Best chicken chicken in the whole entire they probably have the best chicken in the whole entire world. I swear on my mom it's literally insane like oh my God I could have just 75,000 buckets of chicken every single day. I'm so excited to have it again I just had it five minutes ago. read more

The best damn poboy and fried chicken we have ever had, we where driving through from Florida to Galveston Texas and yelped upon this spot. The chicken is juicy and flavorful and the poboys and sides are top notch if you got 10 minutes to jump off I10 stop here. read more

Got a wild hair on my way to work one morning and decided I had to try Chicken Shack. Even with all the positive Yelp reviews, I was a bit apprehensive mostly due to the location, especially when I saw there wasn't a drive through! Beware: White girl in the hood lol! Truth is the inside was not even slightly scary. It was clean, and the staff couldn't have been nicer. You can actually see Baton Rouge General Midcity Hospital from their building, so you know you're safe ;-) Like I said, the staff was nice and very helpful with answering my questions. I had no idea Chicken Shack is a family owned business for the last 80 years - that's almost a century, y'all! I grew up a KFC girl (mostly for convenience), but this place is worth a very LONG drive. They are expecting to open their 4th location next year, so you know they're doing well for a reason. So what's so yummy about Chicken Shack, you say? Well, the price certainly is an attraction. I let the staff guide me in what to purchase and ended up with a huge take out box of fried chicken breast, a leg, a homemade biscuit, grits, and scrambled eggs all for $5.99 with tax. Slight warning: the butter packets melted while sitting on other foods in the box, so not cool for biscuit perhaps but amazing to just pour over the grits!Oh and perhaps a little TMI, but the stomach pains and bathroom breaks a day or so later were worth it. I've had worse, and the food outweighed the cost for me lol. Anyway...definitely worth a try if you're a fried chicken fan and love it especially fresh and crispy. read more

Very good home cooking daily lunch specials! The smothered turkey wings are my favorite.

Super quick and the best/quickest chicken salad in BR! Their broccoli-crunchy salad is an amazing pairing side with a croissant chicken salad combo! read more

So I was in the mood for some fried chicken so decided to venture and check out this place as I'm still fairly new to the city I'm trying to get to experience most of the food "soul food" specially that I can. To my surprise this place isn't far from where I'm staying and that's great got there and you could smell deliciousness. Ordered me some Fried Chicken with potato salad and coke slaw while but sides were good the star of the show was the chicken. It was very simple but so moist and so delicious the batter they use for the chicken was really different than other Fried Chicken I have tried here. Overall I can see why they are always busy which is a great sign and the chicken was amazing can't wait to be back. read more

You know all that hoopla over the Chicken sandwich from Popeye's? Why bother with any of that when we've got Chicken Shack, the best god-damned Chicken sandwich in town already, just didn't franchise like the other guys. We're better for it. My understanding is that this is sort of like tempura style fried chicken. It's a different flavor and texture than what you'd get at Church's (right next door) or from Popeye's. I don't frequent those places so I can't tell. I only like to frequent local places only. I started coming in here in 2012 when I moved here from Los Angeles. And funny enough there's a chain of restaurant there called "Louisiana Chicken" which is terrible btw. I used to work in a place inside the Bon Carre business center (Bon Marche mall to the locals) in search of better food than the one Subway in that place. I found Chicken Shack on my drive down Florida Blvd. Walked in, ordered the two piece with fries and a coke, along with a side of Boudin balls to go. Took my lunch back to work, sat down and as I started to chow down, my coworkers looked up at me from their meager fast food or home made PBJs with shock and awe like as they smelled the goodness from the chicken, saying things like you've been here for a few weeks and you found that? where? I've been back so many times I lost count, I guess I was so hungry I forgot to hit my Yelp check-in button. A few years ago they started serving a chicken sandwich, I got his for my then 7 yo son who fell in love with it. Now he's 11 and he still hankers for one of these every few months. Getting into the parking lot is a bit of a maneuver, but once you're in, walking in you're greeted with smiles from the staff who are working like crazy to get orders out. There's a small dining room for mostly 2 people at a time. Most of the traffic is carry out. All orders are made to order so you have to wait a few minutes to get your food. As others have said, it's the best damn chicken in town, you better believe it. I don't always remember to come here, but when I do, I'm glad I did. It's easy on the wallet too. read more

Is super no-frills spot serving fried chicken in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Owned by the Delpit's they've been in the business for many years. I got myself a nice fresh chicken sandwich fully dressed and wasn't mad at the freshness and simplicity. Any local tell you that if you want some fried chicken you should be here so go ahead and give it a try. read more

Chicken Shack - Fried Chicken Sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Some places that look crusty have amazing food, But this doesn't apply for this place. The place is nasty looking, bathroom is nasty af. We had the chicken dinner plate with 2 sides. Chicken was soooo oily and barely had flavor. For some reason the chicken was super chewy idk how they made that possible. Oil tasted very old like they reused it 100 times. Fries were flavorless and tasted like frozen fries. Beans were OK they just tasted like they threw in a bunch of ham flavor in there. I understand this place is a staple to baton rougue but i bet its because they don't got many choices not because of flavor. If you live here im sorry but this place is the worst i'd rather eat at taco bell than here and have diarrhea for 5 days straight cus at least the food was good. read more

Probably the best fried chicken I've ever had...and I've been all over the states! This place is way better than Churches, Popeyes, KFC, and some other mom and pop's places that I've been to. Did you know that their fried chicken stayed crispy for at least 12hrs? Yes, I bought fried chicken from them and drove home to Kentucky and my fried chicken was still crispy and tasty! Oh, don't forget about their potato salad! I'm drooling right now as I'm typing this! P.S., the location was sketchy, but I don't care as long as the food was good. read more

Let me start by saying "I Love Chicken Shack" was in the area today, ordered the "Shrimp Poboy" I was so disappointed, The bread was not toasted, the shrimp were under cooked and were Not Devined! It has been awhile since I've been there and it'll probably be a while until I get back. read more

A Baton Rouge icon chicken is great and freshly prepared I've been a regular for years best eaten while freshly cooked

Food looks good, facility is clean but the items I tried lack seasoning. Tried chicken and turkey wings with rice and gravy. Just underwhelming and I really wanted to like it. read more

This place makes me don't wanna go back to Popeyes in CA anymore. Let just say, I usually have 2 pieces and a small side, and I would be full, but I ate 8 pieces from Chicken Shake that day. The chicken is juicy, the skin crunchy and lightly spiced. The chicken paired really well with Louisiana hot sauce. Definition of a true southern fried chicken. read more

Affordable, delicious fried chicken. The 20 piece meals are humongous and is definitely enough food for 4 people! The breading is very crunchy, crispy and delicious. The chicken is very moist, and flavorful. Potato salad is perfectly seasoned. Perfect food for any occasion! Only problem is that when you order the small of the side orders, it's TOO small. Not a problem, if you order the larger sizes though. read more

If your a fan of willie mae's scotch house in NOLA then this is your place for fried chicken in BR. Service is friendly and fast. Good price for the amount of food that you receive.

The chicken was fire! The service was fast. The chicken sandwich was juicy as well. great job

I'm sold! I passed this place en route to a work function. The words Chicken Shack piqued my interest and I came back the same day for lunch. Omg, I was so right. Friendly staff, DELICIOUS FOOD, and to top it off, a steady stream of classic soul music by Gladys Knight and The Pips, The Ojays, and more. What topped it off for me was the lady at the counter had ice water on my tray with the food. I didn't order water! I didn't order anything to drink! But she gave me water because that's how awesome this place is! I gave four stars because I haven't tried more food and I might just have come here on a 'good day'. I'm sure it will change to five on my next visit. read more

I have been eating fried chicken here for almost 20 years now. It's still my favorite! The wet batter they use is unique and always well-seasoned. Juicy chicken covered in the crunchiest, umami-filled crust! I never go to Popeyes, KFC, Churches, or any of those other sub-par chicken places. Delpit's Chicken Shack is in a league if it's own. Do yourself a favor and order through the app, otherwise the wait can be long, especially during lunch time. read more

I finally made it to Chicken Shack and I enjoyed my experience. Pipin hot fried chicken and lots of side items to choose from. And the woman taking orders at the window was super friendly. I got the rice dressing and Shack balls with my 3-piece dark meat meal. Chicken was delicious. I didn't love the rice dressing and I wished that the Shack balls were a little less heavily breaded, but they were still good. Next time, I'll try some different side items. read more

I love this place. Every time I come to Baton Rouge I have to have a Shrimp Poboy. They are delicious and filling. Since they are closed on Sunday I had to make a Saturday run in order to bring some back for the rest of the family. Even after two days in the fridge a quick heat up in the oven is just as hood as the day of purchase. Also even though I stop eating pork chops I was encouraged to try one and I must say I will buy it again. Once a year shouldn't hurt. Staff was very friendly and professional. read more

If your in the mood for some good soul food, this is your spot. Take your time and be patient greatness can't be rushed . Don't let the building or surroundings fool ya, the food is amazing! They have daily lunch specials which are priced very well. Some of the top items I get of course is the fried chicken, red beans and rice, and yams . They also have great deserts . The best peach cobbler I've had since I've been in Louisiana. Pro tip; no cobbler on weekends and they are closed on Sunday :( . Each location has pretty much the same specials( prices do vary). The fried fish strips is always amazing and one of my top picks. Cooked to order, so it's always hot and fresh. I've always had decent service, and yummy food . I try and stop in whenever I'm on that side of town . read more
