“ I gotta say that Chicken Shack chicken is the best fried Chicken i have ever had, regardless of which one you pop into. I hadn’t had KFC in like 23 years, and I remember it being awesome. And seeing as how they don’t have a Chicken Shack around me, i hit their crib up fer some extra crunchy. That junk was extra soggy & gristly. The Shack also blows away Zenders in that freak Bavarian type place in Frankenstein. They just flood u with their all u can eat gimmick, but their poultry products are sub par. The Shack coleslaw is also over the top tasty too. I think they must add sugar to it er something, because it’s like candy. So don’t skimp, and drive the 20 mins to get ur 2 piece lunch pack today!!! Oh, and fer atmosphere I prefer The Shack location in Lincoln Park. Being downriver I sorta fit in better (is that a good thing?). Plus it’s right down the street from where my friend Ashley lived with her husband. So if I got hungry parked down the street waiting for her husband to leave, it was the perfect location ”
“ The workers at this Royal Oak location on Woodward are clean, fast and have good attitudes. The food is usually hot and fresh, excluding my most recent visit where it seemed the pork chops I ordered were cold on the inside. I'm going to write that as a one off considering that's the only time I've had a problem throughout the past 10 years I've been going there. ”
“ Very friendly employees. Food is always hot and prepared correctly. ”
“ Been eating chicken shack chicken and ribs for many years. Always friendly service and good food. I love their chicken tenders. Their cole slaw is really good also, the best anywhere I have had it. ”
