The Chicken Shack (Don't harass people please) Ambiance/Atmosphere: 4/5 - So, one of my family was feeling a little bit hungry and wanted to try this place in Boulder City for some food. I wasn't feeling too hungry after Last Stop Travel Center, but I ordered something anyway. - The inside was, to be honest, pretty calm. It was a bit dirty, but not to the point of it being really bad. - Not many people, a little empty but not bad. - It also has weird answers from famous figures on the immortal question of why did the chicken cross the road. Some of them like Lennon and Nixon are not good people. Service: 5/5 - Service was pretty good. They were nice and answered my question when I asked if free refills were a thing allowed (they were). Prices: 4/5 - I forgot to get a picture of the prices, but it is indeed a bit expensive, but they are much more fairly balanced than Last Stop (and don't charge $8 for a Hotdog). Food: 5/5 - You know what, after eating at Last Stop, this was a pretty good meal. Even by itself, the chicken and fries are solid. - Fry sauce reminds me of Cane's sauce, but it's pretty good as is. - Also, I tried to get Chili Cheese Fries just to compare to Last Stop, but they unfortunately were out of chili. Overall: 5/5 Stars Final Thoughts: For my first time eating at a Chicken Shack, I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered some food. This honestly feels like a completely different experience from Last Stop, and I wish this was the stop where we went to eat originally. Although I will admit there is no gas station (at least that I could see), if your passing through Boulder City, you should make this your last stop instead. read more

Chicken was small , over battered, and over done. The tables and floor are ridiculously filthy. The walls had straws stuck to them, the dirty trays were over stacked and gross. Stay away. read more

Pay no attention to the prices on the pictures of the menu. They are almost double that now. Only one person working, so could take a long time. read more

Great food to enjoy in Boulder City after a nice hike at Lake Mead or day exploring Old Town. Their chicken and fries are so good. I don't know what they do to them, but they taste better than other places to me. They also have a lot of sauce combinations and those are fun and delicious. Service is quick and ambiance is that similar to a take out place. It kinda reminds me of Sonic in set-up, but without the drive up order windows. Definitely a fun lunch spot if you want some quicker food to enjoy. read more

Ordered food to go on our way out of Boulder City. Service was fine, wouldn't say friendly but quick and easy ordering. Restaurant itself needs a little revamping or a good clean on the inside. My two meals took about 15 mins to be finished. Drink machine seemed to be lacking CO2 as both of our sodas were flat. We didn't get to eat our food until about 45 mins later until we got home in Vegas. The tenders were a great size and seasoned nicely. My husband got the tenders with a garlic parm rub and enjoyed it. I tried Jamaican jerk sauced wings. The sauce itself was veryyyy heavy on the clove flavor and it was unfortunately too much for me. Just plain next time for me. The wings itself were huge and crispy even with the sauce! Fries were even crispy still after 45 mins. Overall, great spot for tenders and fries for sure! read more

The lady behind the counter was super friendly, patient and honest even though she was head cook, cashier and dish washer. Got a chicken sandwich combo and burger. Can't wait to see the meal. The decor was nice n 70's. read more

We have gone twice and both times they were out of what we wanted and had to settle .

Food was amazing! Chicken was really good. I wish the ranch was thicker. I'd definitely come back for the food. It was a little dirty and I think if they cleaned it up it would be better. Also to the blonde lady behind the counter you can't be ugly and rude. To the owners that employee may be the reason for lack of customers. read more

Review for The Chicken Shack We literally drive 25 minutes just to eat here -- that's how good the chicken is! Always crispy, flavorful, and hits the spot every single time. It's one of our favorite spots for comfort food. The only thing I'd love to see improved is the friendliness at the front register. A warmer welcome would really complete the experience, especially since we go out of our way to come here. But overall, the food keeps us coming back! read more

We were on vacation and stopped by for a quick bite to eat. They recommended the loaded fried which were amazing and huge and shareable for sure. The girl working the counter was holding down the fort all by herself and killed it. We don't stay to eat but looked super cute inside. read more

Food over fried and often put through microwave to warm. Containers are not microwaveable and staff doesn't seem to care

Took a pit stop here on our drive from Las Vegas to El Dorado mines and was most impressed with the friendly and patient service and that the food is cooked to order. The place is just as the photos here illustrate - basic fast food joint with some seats on the inside, some seats on the outside, easy parking lot, bathroom available (just need to ask for the key). Menu is a bit complicated, definitely recommend the chili cheese fries (chili is homemade) and of course we ordered the chicken. Portions are decent and chicken is whole chicken, which is moist but sauces are necessary for the flavor. Good variety of sauces as well as good variety of fountain drinks, kids meal is a decent deal too read more

I come to boulder multiple times a year, and there's no way I CANT stop here!! Their chili lime wings are incredible! They're always friendly and helpful, the chicken is crispy, it's the best! read more

This place is filthy....dust all over and very unclean. Asked for a medium rare burger-which they said they could do-but they served it burnt and would not honor a refund or another meal. That burnt meal was $16. Very disappointed and won't ever go back. read more

Cashier was less than enthusiastic, ear pods in and seemed really tired. He mumbled and lacked any articulation The website link was bad and compromised. Waited a long time for nothing spectacular. I should have gone to Jack in the box. read more

We used to travel from Havasu to Vegas and always stopped at The Cicke shack for a delicious meal for the out-of-town visitos. Always delicious and the best fries we had ever had. Soon the bypass was completed and it was no longer easy to grt to The Shack. Two pieces to chicken filets amd a massive bunch of fries. we ordered the five piece chicken strips, thinking that would bebenuf ror all of us. we got five dry chicken strips and one order of fries. We now know a side trip to Boulder is no longer in the cards. We were so disappointed. i apologize for the errors, you can't go back and fix mistakes. read more

Elizabeth and Donna were who served us, and my gosh they made this expierence over the top!!!! It was just my little fam, with our two small children. They played kids music over the speakers!!! They were so kind and accommodating. Food was also WOW!!!! Tons of sauce to choose from and they actually SERVE CHICKEN with a little breading instead of the other way around like some places. Thick juicy tenders!!! We will definitely be back. Fries were also DELICIOUS! read more

Hit the spot. Yummy food. Nice service. The sauces are the best. Homemade ranch was amazing. Hubby had creamy parmesan garlic wings and love them. read more

Stumbled across this and had to try it. Tried the habanero honey wings sauce with 6 wings, fries, and a drink. PLENTY of food for one, the fries are delish- perfectly salted, seasoned and served HOT. Great service and informative staff with service. The ambiance is laid back, trendy. They have outdoor seating and indoor seating. read more

Omg!!! We were leaving the Hoover dam and wanted to find a place to eat before we headed back to the strip. This place hit the shot. The outside is not much to much to look at, but the lady taking our order was very nice and helpful in determining the best options for our money. We ordered the 6 piece combo with the dam hot sauce on the side. I didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm usually do not like shoe string fries, but these were great. They seemed to be breaded, but I'm not sure. All of the food was fresh and hot. I will definitely try this place again on the strip. read more

I ordered - well, just about everything the menu had to offer because I had not had The Chicken Shack prior to this. The chicken and the fries were nice and crispy - FRESH, but no flavor. The sauces themselves, no flavor. The true reason, I am giving this place 3-stars was the facility itself. It was disgusting - caked on dust, dirt under the drinking cups, soooo much dirt the facility is obviously not maintained. read more

Took a trip to Boulder City for a comic book and sports card show and stopped in here after for lunch! We got several different things to try and the wings, tenders, coleslaw, Mac n cheese, potatoe salad, sauces were all great! Glad we stopped! read more

Bland and soggy on the underside of chicken. Thought it was going to be super good with the ratings it has but wouldn't come again. Also I like my chicken strips smaller, if you're a girl you know exactly what I'm talking about, and these chicken strips were giant. Like an entire chicken breast fried. Fries were good but the chicken was too soggy and large. read more

This is a great place to visit if you like to eat chicken. They make great wings, with many different flavors, which are all perfectly delicious. Their chicken strips are what my son and nieces love . Also the chili cheese fries are highly recommended. Enjoy!! read more

We always stop at this Chicken Shack on our drive to Las Vegas from Arizona. It's a great little pit-stop before hitting the main city. Don't be put off by the outside, yes this place has that old school greasy spoon vibe, but the food is so worth it. We always get the chicken tenders & wings combo with fries. SO good. Last time we went the cashier seemed a little confused with our order. After ringing us up he came back to our table twice to clarify what we wanted. But he was a nice kid, I'd rather him double-check then mess it up entirely. Definitely check this place out if you like chicken wings/tenders! read more

Customer service and friendliness was exemplary! God Bless the friendly voice of Elizabeth on the phone! She was great! Food was not fit to feed an animal. Ranch dressing should have been called milk water. No flavor and the consistency of 2% milk! Chicken overdone, tough. Fries were soggy and greasy. Garlic Parmesan sauce smelled and tasted like vinegar! Keep the smiles. But, please work on the food! It was a horrific experience unless you are on a diet and don't want to eat! Sad for how much $$ I paid. My 3rd experience with them in a year and I have yet to have a good one! read more

Wild this place has the reviews it does. Was passing through Boulder and stopped with the family for dinner. Chicken dry, tough, shockingly bad. Tossed it in the trash after forcing down a couple pieces. Kids wouldn't eat it either. They also shorted us by a wing. Not a big deal and after trying the food we didn't care much. Lol. read more

Stopped by here after the Hoover Dam and not sure it was delicious because we were super hungry or was it delicious, hehe. Joke aside, it was both. Fried to perfection and my favourite was the shoe string thin fries. They have lots of different sauces to dip the fried chicken with but they are just as good plain as they are pretty salted and flavored on its own. The burgers are ok. Just a generic burger. The beans are also ok. They cooked it with pineapples which made it too sweet for my tastebuds. I prefer them more savory then sweet. Bathrooms are single but very clean which is good especially at times like this. read more

I usually enjoy the chicken shack in Las Vegas, regularly. passing through Boulder we thought would be a good stop. Husband and I shared a 5 piece finger, because one thing that's great is the food portion. the chicken was cooked well we usually love this place and I order the same sauce EVERYTIME. Hot honey garlic. I was so so upset to open my box to this sauce, thick, it did not taste like HHG, I had to dowse it in ranch to cover the taste, wipe off the excess, and couldn't even eat the second. It's like they accidentally put the wrong sauce and tried to cover it up. Extremely let down read more

This was our first time visiting The Chicken Shack in Boulder City, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing -- mainly due to the behavior of the woman working, who seemed to be the manager, cashier, and server all in one. We were unfamiliar with the menu, and I initially placed our order but came back shortly after because my wife wanted a different sauce. Instead of being understanding or helpful, she responded with a rude and condescending attitude, almost lecturing me as if I had done something wrong. It was embarrassing, especially in front of other customers, and all I wanted was some basic clarification. Later, I was standing near the soda station and she suddenly shouted that I couldn't stand there. I asked her, "I can't stand here?" and again, her tone was unnecessarily aggressive. It felt like I was being singled out and treated as a problem rather than a customer. I had already told her we were sitting outside since we had our dog, so there was no reason for the hostility. At one point, I took a photo of the place -- and that's when she came outside to apologize. Her exact words were something like, "I saw you took a picture and that you're going to post a Yelp review, so I'm going to apologize." To me, it felt like the apology wasn't sincere, but more because she realized she got caught. By that point, I was already upset and too embarrassed to say anything, especially with a line of people behind me who witnessed the whole interaction. We were genuinely hungry and excited to try this place, but the way she treated me completely ruined the experience and killed our appetite. It's unfortunate how one person's attitude can change your whole mood. I hope management takes this seriously, because no customer should be made to feel that way -- especially not on their first visit. read more

A cozy fast casual fried chicken joint designed in the old-school drive up spot layout good for groups up to four or five. The birds they source are larger than usual and there is a wide variety of sauces (with many sweet/tart/hot/etc. options). Additionally, the sides: mac & cheese and coleslaw were tasty (macaroni salad was okay). Overall perfect for lunch or a quick bite with friends. read more

The wings are delicious and the garlic fries should be everywhere, the manager is the nicest person I have ever met. Renee is helpful and very knowledgeable, she takes your order and explains the menu to people who have never been here, she's very patient. You can sit inside or outside and she will deliver your food to you, if we lived here we would come at least once a week. Definitely try this little hidden gem. read more

I just paid $75 for overcooked chicken. Hard as a rock French fries. All of it tasted like everything that's ever been cooked in the fryer. If I had known that 20 chicken fingers and 2 large fries would be this much, I wouldn't have done it. I feel sick. From the price and one bite of food. read more

Very good wings - I got honey bbq and my 6 piece came with 3 extra wings for free. I don't like eating a lot of fries but they were amazing. Not sure what oils they fry them in but they were very tasty read more

Chicken shack is always dependable for some quick chicken strips and fries. I love their BBQ sauces, they are addicting for no reason at all. Good chicken, great service, clean area. Thanks for being a great location!! read more

Stop by for a quick lunch and was not disappointed. Very fast service with friendly staff. We ordered the #3 combination (3 wings, 3 fingers w/ fries & drink) to share with a side of ranch and spicy ranch. Took one star off because the chicken fingers was a little to bland and the fries was a little too salty for me. But the wings... the wings was 11/10!! I love the wings so much. Perfectly seasoned and crisp! So get the wings for sure! Will stop by again if I have a chance for the wings! read more

Holy casual dive goodness, Batman! It's just a little walk in place, with some tables outside, too. I was either STARVING or it was the best mess of food in one dish I've ever had! Chicken fingers, fries, hot sauce and cheese. I swear I was shoveling it in so hard my son was giving me grossed out looks. It was a little pricey, $15 for one plus a large soda. I plan on saving all my pennies to drive back soon. read more

I will never go back to the chicken shack in Boulder city. Every time I go there, my order is screwed up every time. I went back after not going there for two months and it's the same thing over and over again. The lady at the front counter that takes your order does not listen to what she wants. It is a horrible experience. read more
