Chicken Shack - Baton Rouge: A Taste of Nostalgia in Every Bite

The chicken was as great as it was 50 years ago! Be prepared for the greasy bag... but every once in a while, it's worth cheating. I wasn't 100% on the red beans, hence the 4 starts. There is too much cumin-like flavor. Overall, it is nostalgic and still delicious.

Chicken shack was everything. The rice and gravy was so yummy. I haven’t had mustard green in a minuet. I’m from Washington, DC. I enjoyed my smother chicken. Would come back.

The picture speaks for itself. Two piece mixed - breast and thigh. Crispy, moist, flavorful. Best chicken I've EVER had. Born and raised in Baton Rouge living in Houston the past 10 years. Anytime I'm in town, I'm in Chicken Shack!

By far my new favorite fried chicken. Every piece is a work of art. Perfectly crispy and extremely juicy deliciousness in every bite. The Mac and cheese, red beans and rice, collard greens and the Cajun rice were all fantastic. I also loved the catfish poboy that was loaded with fresh delicious catfish. The little sweet potatoes pies ended the meal with a home run. The lady that ran the place was a delight and a sweetheart. The menu has many other items I want to try.

Knuckles sucking good... damn near at my own fingers off! I've been eating at this spot since I was a kind, and my dad is close friends with the owner, but that's not the half of it. Yes, this place is in the hood, and yes, it has recently been discovered by other people outside the hood, so it has become bigger. However, Mr. Delpit never switched up and never changed. He kept his franchise local and only spread to 3 places, but if im not mistaken, he closed the one-off plank road. The only complaint is,if you dont call in and order, then you will have to place an order, and it could be as quick as a 2 minute wait or 30 minute wait. BUT EVEN A 30 MINUTE WAIT is worth it. The chicken is amazing and the staff is friendly and professional. They are always busy, but they make sure to speak when they see you. On the up, man, they went into the wing business, and it didn't disappoint. We had all the flavors, and it puts any of your big block chain wings to sleep. When you go say hey to Troy and tell him them, Johnsons sent you! He'll know the judges! FYI, theres daily specials, poboys, porkchop dinners, oh, and sweet potato pies! Knuckle sucking good !

I can’t express how amazing this place is. We went after seeing a review of it on tik tok and let me tell you there is a reason this place is always popping. The food is incredible. The quality and flavor makes it some of the best food in BR, and I am from nola so I am picky. The service was fantastic, everyone was friendly and the line moved so fast. We will definitely be regulars after trying it. Can’t recommend enough!
