    I ordered the 2 piece Chicken fingers and let me tell you... It took a little while to get my order but when I did it was nice and hot and Fresh! The chicken fingers were so tasty and delicious I opened it up and the juice was squirting out of it! I must mention the buffalo sauce was so good and the ranch sauce was very very good. My boyfriend had the Shack Burger with cheese he said it was pretty good. The service was really good It was kind of empty inside but there's plenty of seating and it's decorated really nicely aviance is pretty chill casual setting and very very clean. We will be back here soon this is my favorite location by the way...

    Pepsi, fries, chicken fingers, Shack cheeseburger, buffalo and ranch sauce. Not showing....my appetite!!

    Food was good, service was on point and the dining ining area was clean. But with all the beer they have on tap, only four were available. Of course, ones that I don't drink.

    A "large" order of chicken fries
    Michael V.

    The buffalo chicken fries are good, but I don't remember the #1 order (buffalo chicken fries) being a large fry boat for $14. It literally used to be the entire takeout container for the same price. This is a big rip off.

    The garlic fries were good.

    The garlic fries came out good, service was quick and the ambience was mellow because there were no other customers there.

    Buffalo Chicken Fries, Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese,  Bacon Chicken Ranch snack wrap, and small chili.
    Yakkul X.

    We ordered the (1) Buffalo Chicken Fries (combo, comes with a drink) the (2) Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese, the (3) Bacon Chicken Ranch (grilled, chipotle tortilla) snack wrap, and the (4) small chili. Today I found out or am reminded that either not a big fan of buffalo sauce, or the $50.00 food we ordered here wasn't that good afterall... so perhaps, while this review might be slightly unfair or biased in the matter that we're not huge buffalo sauce fans and should or could have ordered with a different sauce, I can say we won't be coming back to this franchise for some time. The Buffalo Chicken Fries, the fries themselves were salty, which were good for me as I like my food a bit extra seasoned on salt, but my lady didn't like it as it was a bit overly salted for her. What really did it for the both of us was the buffalo sauce was so empowering we couldn't eat much of it, especially as we got to the bottom of the tray where the extra sauce laid. The Buffalo Mac and Cheese had the same taste as the Buffalo Chicken Fries. I understand we probably should have realized the "Buffalo" in front of the item order meant they tasted similar, but man this taste wasn't very appealing. Again, maybe it's just me/us, not being fans of the buffalo sauce. The chili and the grilled chicken chipotle tortilla snack wrap ended up being the most tasteful thing we ordered... and both were a fair 3.5 at best. The missus says the wrap was dry. Personally I thought it was fine, not good, but fine. We both agreed the chili was pretty decent. All in all, we had to take a little bit of everything, a bite here and there, so the Buffalo wasn't overwhelming as a flavor. We were almost glad the snack wrap tasted the way it did to offset the Buffalo flavor. I have seen and heard folks say this (food) was a hit or miss... I can see what they mean now in a few ways. We ended up tossing half our $50 meal away (picture added) and still politely thanked the staff (who was busy cleaning and didn't fully acknowledge us on the way out, which is fine, but wanted to note that) on our way out. If we ever come back, we'll order with a different sauce as seen on the menu or try different items, definitely not a $50 meal order, and will edit/update or write a new review then.

    Buffalo Chicken Fries

    Placed my order of buffalo chicken fries online through DoorDash. Picked it up, employee was nice. Got back to the office and opened the tray and it was only this amount. It's 2/3's of what it used to be. Update: The company realized they made a mistake on my order and did right on their part by issuing a refund. Thank you.

    Throws up a lil every time I look at these photos.

    THIS WAS A DOOR DASH ORDER: Chicken Shack, please invest in some non styrofoam containers for your delivery partners. Your customer's fries become wet and nasty, it also makes the "fried chicken" taste more like "soggy breaded chicken". It would also show you actually care about customer satisfaction to not put the cold dippers with the hot food. Review: Seasoned Yelpers already know if I could I would put 0 Stars. I knew I should have ordered from WING STOP! It is my all time favorite. But I order it so much I wanted to get Chicken Shack, or my new name for it, Chicken Wack! The last time I had the Wack, it seemed as though the chicken had a distinctive taste, think Foodmax, no name brand, frozen bulk bag. That's cool if your on a budget and cooking at home. However my combo was $17, and that is not included tax all the other charges. I could have cooked them better myself tbh. When you buy food from restaurants it's because you want to enjoy food made by someone else. Anywho it's been over a year since I've been back, and thought maybe it was a bad day at The Wack and maybe I got a bad batch. Well I'm extremely disappointed. It was worse then the last time. See photos and I have nothing else to say... smh rolling & my eyes.

    Service was great, good recommendations and warnings about spiciness. The Buffalo fries were good but a little carb overload, surprise. One idea that the guy with mask gave me was that you can change any of the sauces. They have a lot of sauces, so you can get really creative. I really liked the spicy ranch. The Buffalo sauce was just basic Frank's hot sauce. Overall, it was good comfort food with lots of options. I wouldn't use the men's room, it was pretty disgusting.

    Honest Review The…read morefood was honestly pretty mid. The pasta tasted mid and was a little disgusting, and it didn't really have much flavor. The burger was okay but definitely overcooked and not very juicy. It was missing some flavor. The garlic fries were probably the best thing we ordered. The hibiscus lemonade was decent, and the mocktail we got was actually really good. As for the service, some of the staff were really nice and welcoming, but I did feel a little uncomfortable toward the end. When I asked if I could pay with cash instead of card, I got the impression that the person seating us assumed I was going to leave a tip and seemed disappointed when I clarified that I was just paying cash. I also felt like some of the servers were giving us an attitude afterward because we didn't tip. Overall, tipping is a personal choice, and I don't think customers should feel judged or pressured because of it. Some of the staff were genuinely kind, but unfortunately the food and the experience weren't enough for me to want to come back.

This was the rough equivalent, more Mediterranean style - and they serve cocktails and froyo. You would think there was a happenin' club here - massive line curved around the building. I was so glad that I placed the order online and there was a dedicated window from which to pick up orders. I ordered the tri-tip with sides of sautéed veggies and sweet potato mash and a baklava froyo. Yummmmmm! Beef was very tender , sides were delicious and the froyo was a great dessert (tons of baklava on top and in the middle of tart froyo). I don't think I would ever torture myself by standing in the line to eat here - but apparently Fresno peeps think this place is bourgie lol (according to my daughter). Think maybe a slightly elevated Mendocino Farms.

I've recommended this place to multiple people and every single one of them has texted me after to say thanks. that track record speaks for itself.

The rice was cooked perfectly and the meat was nicely seasoned and flavorful. Everything tasted fresh and was made to order, which was a big plus. The garlic, tzatziki, and spicy garlic sauces were ok, they could use a bit more flavor. They were a bit tangy and I was hoping for more of that garlicky taste. Other than that, the food was really good and there are plenty of options to try. We came in during the late afternoon and, surprisingly, it wasn't busy at all. There were only two people working when we visited, possibly the owner and an older gentleman. Both were really nice, friendly, and welcoming. Our food came out in a reasonable amount of time and was presented nicely. They also checked in on us at the right time without constantly hovering over us. The restaurant is actually pretty nice and spacious, with plenty of tables and seating for dine-in. It was clean and comfortable during our visit, and the restroom was clean as well, which is always a nice bonus. The only thing I would mention is the location. Since it's in the Costco/Home Depot area, traffic and parking can be a little challenging, especially around rush hour.

QUICK TAKE Get: Blackened Salmon Tacos Skip: Ultimate Combo Louie, Shrimp Cocktail, Grilled Alaskan Halibut Know: Several of the seafood dishes tasted dry or tired, and the meal did not feel worth the price. The only thing I would recommend is the Blackened Salmon Tacos. They come with fire-roasted salsa, avocado, cabbage-cilantro slaw, pico de gallo and lime crema. These had much better flavor, texture, and balance than the rest of our meal. Unfortunately, the other seafood was where things really fell apart. Ultimate Combo Louie: This comes loaded with jumbo prawns, shrimp and Dungeness crab, so at $38 I expected it to feel like a premium seafood salad. It didn't. The seafood lacked freshness and the shrimp in particular were soft and soggy. Shrimp Cocktail: Probably the most disappointing item. The shrimp tasted old and had a limp, waterlogged texture instead of being firm and fresh. Grilled Alaskan Halibut: At $42, this should have been one of the highlights. Instead, the fish was dry and overcooked, which is especially frustrating with a piece of halibut at this price. Hoisin Brussels Sprouts: Way too sweet for me. The sweetness completely overwhelmed the Brussels sprouts instead of complementing them.

Yes it's soup but beyond that the experience in the presentation is completely different. It was a little quieter and more laid-back it felt a little bit more upper class. I feel like I would have to come here two or three times to fully find what my favorite things are. I tried the spicy miso broth. But if I come back, I'll get something different and I'll probably have to try a few before I end up finding my exact favorite. The experience here was more about timing and what you're cooking instead of making a soup with everything in it and then eating it. I would have to say that everything that I had was good. Not really big on tofu and their money bags tasted OK a little bit sweet in the end. The corn was really sweet to me. I like both of the mushroom types that they had their my wife only liked one of the two. My broth came out amazing. I added cilantro, green onion, and their hoisin sauce along with some lime. We also got Ramen noodle. It didn't seem like it was gonna be a lot of food. I felt like we were gonna be hungry by the time we got done eating everything. But it turned out in the end we were both full and not needing anymore. I would say this is a little bit more expensive than JPot. But I think this would be a nicer place to bring a date to overall experiences and presentation is better. I would say the service here was really good. We were well taken care of. I always say that you should make reservations if you're gonna come. We walked in when it didn't look like it was full or busy, but we still had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. At least there's a little bit to walk around and do around here so you have other shops and places to see if you have to wait. Overall, I would give this a five star review. But my honest opinion is I would rather eat at JPot. But I might only be saying that because I have my favorites over there and I didn't leave here creating a favorite in my mind. I left here thinking next time I come back. I'm gonna try different stuff. Again everything is good
