Chicken Shack takes pride in its broiled chicken, as it should. It's some of the tastiest chicken around. They have a weird way of straddling a line between fast food and restaurant-style. You'll be served, but you'll also use plastic knives and forks to eat with. There's a certain charm in that. Don't expect the chicken here to be over seasoned. That sort of stuff is reserved for places like KFC. What I liked best about CS was that I could actually taste what I was eating instead of just tasting spices. It's this reason that I think A-1 sauce is the dumbest idea ever. All their sides are quality as well. Surprisingly enough, they do a lot of the same things as KFC and Church's, only not out of pouches; they do it from scratch. Mashed potatoes for example! They do have fish, but I've never tried it. There's something inherently wrong with having fish at... Chicken Shack. As a kid, we loved this place from the moment we saw it. As teenagers, we hung out the windows of my first car and screamed at it, as if it were a rock star (no, I'm not kidding). Looking back, I'm not surprised I had such a strong reaction. It's just too damn good to be true. But it is.... it so is. As a Michigan staple, you have to love this place!

Ribs are good. Chicken is to dry and over cooked. But the fish is really good. And the best thing is the potatoes

Completely disappointed in my experience. I placed an order for carry out so young lady told me about 15-20 minutes to pick it up which is no problem. But when I got there 10 minutes to 9 I couldn't walk in and pick up my carry out I had to wait in line to go through the drive thru, when I pulled up and said I have an order for a carry out they told me they would get with me when they could. I had to wait in the drive thru line for 25 minutes, my food was lukewarm, I've never had such a horrible experience here. maybe next time I'll come to drive to another location and hope for a better experience.

It seems like every time I call around dinner time to place an order they are out of the product for the day. I get the tender bites. This has been about 5-6 times in the past 3 months

Always great service at this Chicken Shack location. Convenient location at the corner of 696 and Schoenherr.

I have not been here for years. I was in the mood for Ribs so I stopped by. I walked in , only a couple of people in the dining area and the front was empty, The lady who took my order was professional but a little robotic, The cooks look like they did not want to be there But they did not short me on the Rib bones or their Broasted potatoes ( Yum & Thanx guys ) The dining room was pretty clean but there was a short time of fighting 2 small Nat's at my plate then they went on there way, they do give free refills on pop. I do think their prices are a little high so I will come back here every once in a while. Looking forward to trying there wings.

Great chicken, and great sides, at a fair price. What more could you ask for?

I grew up on this stuff. Chicken and ribs are great. The cod dinner is my favorite

The BBQ sauce here is what makes the chicken. If you are ordering BBQ though, request that the sauce be baked on. If not, they often just spread it across finished chicken and it doesn't have the same caramelized taste as when it is cooked on. The broasted potatoes are different and pretty good. It is a bit pricey, but honestly there aren't many places around here that compare, so they get away with it.

Fairly average fast food chicken. The broasted potatoes were different, but in good way.

I love the BBQ Ribs and boasted potatoes. Been going there for years. The BBQ sauce is available in bottles to purchase and well worth the price. If you are a senior citizen, ask for the discount because they won't offer it to you.

broasted chicken, not broiled, and it's delicious.
