    Cook Shack's chicken is amazing for the price! The fried batter is always perfect, the chicken stays juicy, and the Dragon Fries come out crispy without being overcooked. Their $20 family deal for 20-piece chicken strips easily feeds my family of four, and we always have leftovers because the strips are so big and juicy. Definitely worth trying!

    Quick service with tasty food, then chicken is on the thin side but a good dry spicy sandwich. Coleslaw wasn't really worth it but the sauce was yummy. Mac and cheese wasn't a hit for my baby and decent to me. I would for sure go back to give a second try. The inside is pretty big with a bar and outdoor seating area as well. Nice a clean and not too busy.

    I will give the restaurant a break for how well the decor of the place is. The service wasn't that great and while I reiterated my order they were very blunt and I still didn't receive exactly what I wanted. As for the food I have had better chicken from a gas station. While it was very crispy and smelled delicious it lacked flavor. I also was supposed to receive "dragon" fries but only received regular fries.

    Absolutely terrible. My god I have never been so disappointed in my life. I'm almost confused as if someone was trying to pull some kind of joke on me giving me a literal dot of sauce and 1 and a half bites of coleslaw. Are they running a restaurant or a circus? I couldn't tell you! And if you think that's bad the "Mac and cheese" ( if you wanna call it that) was like eating a bottle of play dough. I'm honestly not sure if that's what I received or not but whatever it was seriously was bland and chewy almost like silly putty . I couldn't eat more then 2 bites. I'd say at least it was worth the price but no $10 is too much for this crap. The chicken was also dry, but at least had a decent crunch when it hit the trash can. Where it belonged. So come here if you like to throw away your money and question if what you're eating is edible.

    First Time Visit - Great Food & Friendly Service! Stopped by today for lunch with my dad -- we wanted to try something new, and we're so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with genuine warmth. We mentioned it was our first visit, and a friendly gentleman took the time to explain the menu and how everything works, which was really helpful. The young lady at the register was also incredibly welcoming. I ordered the chicken tenders and fries, plain (naked), and wow -- the tenders were perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The fries were golden, crisp, and seasoned just right. It's honestly the best crispy chicken I've had in a long time! My dad went with the rib sandwich at medium heat. He really enjoyed it and mentioned he'd like to try it without the bread next time to focus more on the meat. To top it all off, we were treated to complimentary ice cream sandwich bites toward the end of our meal -- one with a butterscotch oatmeal cookie and the other a classic chocolate chip. Both were absolutely delicious! If you're craving crispy chicken and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, definitely give this place a try. We'll definitely be back!

    Yummy place. But, they weren't so welcoming. Y'all know when I try a place for the first time I want them to be just as excited as I am. The monotone, "what can I get you?" kills me every time. Also, there. was. a. hair. on. my. fry. Granted I was done eating, but ew. Despite the extra ingredients, the fries were hot & fresh.

    Shack Salad

    I was craving the shack salad and I am so happy I was able to quench that desire. It was so good!!! So fresh, so tasty, so flavorful! My hubs devoured his hog heaven which he was craving. The kids gobbled up their chicken. The staff is always so happy and helpful. The food is always so fast. And a great ambiance with something interesting on the TV's. One of our favorite spots in town for a good meal.

    Scripture and salad!

    It's been a long time since I've been here and I noticed a few new items on the menu. But I came for the ribs. :) I walked in and the atmosphere is lively with patrons eating their delicious food. I took a seat near the door. I really wanted to try their boujee margarita. Definitely maybe next time! When I sat down, the song Tired of Waiting for you came on. Tee hee hee. Great timing because even though I just came in, I was already tired of waiting for those ribs. Lol. I'm sure the wait won't be extremely long. The crowd it's pretty low for this time of the day and I was able to come in, order and sit right away. I ordered the half rack of ribs and a house salad with blue cheese. My table is nice and clean and my food is here! It looks delicious and I'm already sure it is! Bon eating!

    This place is so good highly recommend the ice cream cookie. Great service as well.

    Highly recommend great service very hospitable. Food was delicious not overly salty like a lot of hot chicken places. Ice cream sandwich was so good!

    Tenders (3) Grilled with sweet honey mustard
    Emily C.

    Picked up a quick dinner before my night class, it was ready when I arrived and ate in car. Hit the spot and everything was cooked fresh and a happy accident that I ordered the tenders HOT instead of mild. Enjoyed it though especially with the honey mustard!

    Chicken tender (Tenders (5) and Side Mac & Cheese
    Steven L.

    First time there. Took a while to get the order placed since the line was long. Nice employees. Chicken tenders are big, moist and tasty. Mac and cheese was nothing to write home about. Restaurant is warm AC didn't seem to work well. The young man kept the tables clean and delivered the food constantly. Would we go back?? Yeah probably so.

    We were in the area and were in the mood for some chicken and stumbled upon this roadhouse looking place. Parking was easy to find since it's in a shopping center and the business was easy to find since it was in the corner. Once we arrived everyone was in line and everything looked great on the menu. The business had a southern country look to it and the staff had positive energy and very helpful with the menu. At the time they were out if baby back ribs, and the kale salad. So we decided to order chicken sandwiches. Once we received our order number we grabbed our drinks and sat down. We then waited and waited and started to notice that the people who ordered behind us had received their order before us. We then asked one of the staff about our order, and they apologized and quickly retrieved our order. The manager then came to us and apologized and gave us a complimentary meal for the trouble. Once the food arrived, it was delicious. Although it did take some time to get the food, the taste was decent and worth the wait.

    We have gotten to-go from here and decided to try eating in, which I definitely recommend. The staff seem happy to be there, which is harder to find these days, and was very much appreciated. The menu is fairly simple, we got the chicken and waffles for me and the nuggets and waffle fries for my husband. Didn't regret a thing, and the portions were generous so we took home a tender and waffle piece for later (which heated up well, I might add). Front of house looks great, very inviting with warm tones, cozy booths, and a bar. The bathroom is the sole reason for the loss of a star, it was really, really gross. They need to gut it and redo it pronto! I would avoid using the restroom at the Cookshack if you can at all help it. Really a bummer since everything else is so nice!

    Food is great. The atmosphere was also great. Now they play mumble rap music and it's annoying. Level of employees has definitely declined.

    Best fried chicken around. Fantastic service. I'd recommend doing medium spice level. It's just a pinch of heat.

    First it's chicken strips, no thighs, legs or wings. Very disappointed. Ribs ok but not going to jump over anyone to get them.
