Good: Overall good food. We got a kids meal...4 tenders and fries with a drink. Ample food for a 5yr old. Husband got a chicken bacon avocado wrap...wish it had more of a dressing, it felt a tad bit dry and the avocado was on the browner side. I ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich and it was gooooood. I also wish this had some sort of dressing on the bun to make it not feel so dry. Our favorite sauce was the sweet chili sriracha. Service: everyone was so welcoming and helpful. Ambiance: plenty of seats inside and outside for dining. Very clean and kept up. read more

Had the crispy chicken sandwich with fries and a couple sauces. In general, a good sandwich, but the breading is a little thicker/crunchier than I prefer. The pimento cheese is good, but the sandwich itself needs some "sauce". I did get the Voodoo and Nashville hot sauce on the side and that helped with the dryness of the sandwich. Fries were good and the fresh brewed iced tea was also good. I'll give it one more try, but I'm not sure this was better than chick fil a or Popeyes to be honest. read more

I went through the drive thru today to try Chicken Shanty. The service was pretty decent and the cashier was extremely friendly. I got the chicken sandwich with pimento cheese and lettuce with fries. I didn't think the chicken had flavor or tasted like it had been seasoned in any way. It was very plain and didn't stand out to me at all. The fries were good and I liked their selection of sauces that come with your meal. Although this is close to my house I would prefer to drive farther for chicken from Dave's Hot Chicken or Chick-Fil-A. I also got a prickly pear lemonade that I wasn't very impressed with either. read more

2nd time coming to the chicken Shanty. Same amazing experience. I got the Baddy Hot sauce and it is even better than I could have imagined. I already love the last two sauces I tried. The House Southern is a perfect mix of spices and perfectly paired with the delicious fries. The crew and chef know what they are doing. Believe their recommendations on your sauces. They nailed it for us. Perfectly cool temperature inside or if you are craving the heat outside they have picnic tables outside as well. read more

Surprisingly bad food. I had heard good things about other locations and decided to give it a try. I drove thru and ordered the Octoberfest. Came with fries and drink. Pulled around to window. Gave him my card. When he returned the card he went to get my drink. To my surprise he reached into a fridge and pulled out a 2 liter jug of sprite, poured from it and handed it to me. Not cold and mostly flat. When I got home I opened my food container. Fries are store bought, frozen crinkle cuts and all white. No color at all so undercooked. Burger very bland. Supposed to have beer cheese, onions, and bacon jam. Absolutely none of that was found under the bun. The bun is burned, top and bottom. Spent $15.00 Never returning to this place. read more

Didn't get a chance to eat here, but went to get take out tonight from there and apparently they're closed for good. Would be nice if that was stated on their website and or google. read more

Sooooo many chicken places. Had to try the new one. It was good. Not great. The chicken pieces were a bit dry and the seasoning was just ok. The Nashville sandwich was just average. I have had better here in town. The fries were great. Will go back for those. Service was good. Price was ok. Just not blown away or disappointed. Did drive through so no comment on the inside. read more

I was skeptical with all these chicken places popping up, but Holy Cluck! My husband and son brought some home, and I'm won over. The sauces are insane (dragonfruit?? Delicious!), and the pimento cheese... (omgyum), and the actual chicken (very very good)... I need to go back and try the desserts and more of their sauces and a dozen other things. I'm sorry I grouped you in with the rest, C. Shant. You can stay. Thanks. read more

Was not impressed at all.Ordered one of there meals, which I belive was the first combo on their menu that was chicken sandwich with fries. The sandwich was dry the bun had nothing on it Had to ask for some maynaise to add to sandwich. The chicken in the sandwich was just okay nothing special The fries were golden brown which I thought were too crispy for my taste. First and last time there,rather have a Burger King chicken sandwich. read more

My daughter and I were so excited to try this place and we were so bummed when it was seriously just blah. Chicken had little to no flavor. Which means you're depending on the sauces to make up the flavor. Sadly the sauces are really average. We tried ranch, bbq and chipotle. The fries tasted stale and like they'd been sitting out. Also little to no flavor (I've seriously never met a fry I won't demolish) Neither I nor my 10 year old even bothered to finish our meals. We threw away more than half. The food in the picture I added totaled 33$ plus a 15% tip. Felt like I threw away nearly 40$. The service was fine but it is a Pepsi establishment. Which to me is just another point against them. Slim Chickens is a far superior fast casual chicken option. read more

Everyone should try the new business for themselves. $16 for two kids meals. Plenty of food for the kids. There is only 1 choice for kids. Chicken, fries and a drink. It was lightly battered chicken which has no flavor unless you add sauce. There are plenty of sauce choices and some unique flavors. They have a drive thru. My biggest complaint was the wait. It took forever and kids aren't patient. We went with a large group so had 4 different orders and we were finished and the other groups didn't even get food yet. No one ahead of us either soooo.... Plenty of tables for 4 or 6. read more

Visited the chicken shanty today one of my favorite restaurants in town. I want to give props to the gentleman running the show back there putting his heart and do it. Keep that one around. You won't find employees like that. Kid is absolutely killing it. Give him a raise for sure. 09-02-24 read more

Pretty bad service when your employees close two hours early with no reason and turn the lights off in front of us.

This meal absolutely changed my life. The service was immaculate, the ambiance / music was killer, and food was so incredibly amazing that I literally downloaded Yelp just to leave a review. Sadly, I do not have a picture of my meal, but here's a picture of the remains of an Octoberfest sandwich and Nashville hot sandwich read more

Love the service very nice and helpful. They hand out stickers which is cool. The food was good. Got the Green burrito i don't what's the actual name on it. Very cool environment read more

I have been three times now and have enjoyed the nuggets with a variety of their sauces. The wraps are so good! Make sure you try the sauces! The service was great. She made recommendations and let us taste a couple of sauces. It was clean and spacious. Lots of room for a large group. read more

Unsanitary actions by the workers. Worker was using gloves to work the register, write on the tickets and then grabbed fries and wings and put them in the box without changing gloves. Not only touching her face but the microphone headset then food. Grossed out immediately asked for my refund and walked out. read more

Food was good, got the regular chicken tender basket. Was plenty of food too! If it was food alone it would be 5 stars. Drive thru experience was not great, maybe because they are newly opened. Stopped by this place because it was new and there was no line outside of one other car so figured it would be a quick stop on my way home at 5:30pm. Was about 5 mins waiting for the car in front of me to order, pulled up to order and took another 3 mins before they took my order. Then sat waiting for food for another 15 mins. Saw at least 5 employees in there, only saw one couple dining in. Not sure why the wait was so long for only two cars. And my order was very basic. Probably won't go back as there are other chicken joints close by that are quick and just as good read more

Not gonna lie, we didn't even give this place a chance. Walked in and when we saw the three strips you get for $15, we walked back out. Went down the street to Slim Chicken for a delicious and more reasonably priced meal read more

Delicious and quick! So much food it was almost ridiculous ;). Bring your kids here as there's plenty per serving!!

Been to this place before and suggested it as a group order. There was no online order to order ahead. Either way the lady was super upset at my order. They were busy but atleast make sure the foods on point. It was not. Got a passion fruit mango tea that I couldn't drive away with. After arguing with me about it the cashier tried it and agreed it should be exchanged. Will not be back. read more

The Chicken Shanty - Burnt chicken - Burgers Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

I've had Chicken Shanty 4 times now and it is delicious! The seasoning on the strips and fries are perfect. I really like the options of sauces. Ranch and House are my favorite! The dragonfruit is a fun and sweet alternative. Two thumbs up! read more

Ordered 10 bone-in wings and 2 minutes later was brought some old wings that had been sitting around and were room temperature tossed in some cold sauce. I thought about mentioning something, but if they didn't care when they sent the garbage food out they certainly wouldn't care if I complained about it. read more

The ambiance is fine, but the food needs work - as does the non-working fountain drink machine. The chicken is not bad, but all of the proportions are wrong. Too much sauce, too much chicken in the middle, too little bread, too little coleslaw, and pickles showed up when I was almost finished. The hot sauce was dripping all over the place and the napkins are nearly useless. Good food has balanced flavors. You can't just throw it all in a pile and hope it tastes good. The fries are coated and don't taste like potatoes and the ketchup has a weird flavor. The watermelon and strawberry lemonades were very weak and diluted. There are many chicken places in town now, and this one is near the bottom. I tried it twice, in case it was unusual the first time, but it wasn't. read more

After reading mixed reviews I felt compelled to add my 2 cents. We came for lunch and it was delicious! Our family of 4 got the lil basket, spicy strips, avocado wrap and crispy chicken sandwich. We all loved our meals, it was fresh and hot. The chicken wasn't dry, and my son said the spicy tenders "burned so good" haha. Service was friendly and nice! Clean inside. We'll be back! read more

Spendy! Two people and $35 dollars later 1/2 of our chicken dinners went into the garbage. It was luke warm, dry, bland and had spent too long under the heat lamps. Good fried chicken places depend on cook to order, not heat lamps. The sauces were watery and the like other reviewers have mentioned, the one size drink option is kid size. The fries were the only hot (temp) food on our tray. At these prices, you've got to do better. read more

Chicken Shanty catered my baby shower and was a great success! The food was fresh, the ranch was homemade, and the staff was kind and curteous. Would have them cater again! ​ read more

They didn't have a functioning soda machine. The chicken and fries were cold and dried out. Sorry a big no here!

Food was nothing special. Took forever to get our food. Staff was super nice about it, but food just isn't worth the wait. Won't be back. Plenty of other chicken places in the area that are superior. read more

I was here a few months ago and was meaning to post a review. I had never been to a chicken tenders type place before, so i didn't have any expectations coming in. I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The Food tasted very good, tenders and fries were hot and crispy. The portions were large, Staff was friendly, and the place was clean. I will return to this place. read more

By far the best chicken in the world and service is top notch! Recommendations were personalized and interesting. Definitely coming back.

Love this place! Everything is always super fresh and delicious. The staff is always very friendly.

3rd tile, food now way overcooked, came out in 2 minutes from sitting down. How does that happen unless pre-cooked. We loved this place when it was a food truck. Are the owners even involved now? They used to do everything, including cooking. We'll likely not b back. read more

Walked in to a clean dining area. Upbeat reggae music was playing. The cashier was helpful in sharing about the menu. We ordered and the food was up before we left the counter. I ordered The chicken crab sandwich with fries, and my partner ordered a chicken strip basket with fries. We dug into our fries first, and were surprised they were cold. We knew this was an easy fix and took them back for a quick wait for new ones. Two of the three gals up front were understanding and apologized and we assured them we understood, and didn't mind waiting for fresher ones. The new fries were Hot and came with a smile. We really enjoyed the variety of sauces we tried. The coconut chicken on the crab sandwich was delicious, and I thought the Crab sandwich was the best I've had when it comes to a chicken sandwich. We bought a cookie( chicken turd) and went back for another. I would say we enjoyed ourselves. We love that the chicken is local , free- range and hormone free. I will be back to try a new sandwich soon ! read more
