Chicken Shack

Great chicken! Great potatoes! The shack appeared to be very clean. Staff was very nice.

Cod sticks were good although they only come with a small Kraft tarter sauce packet.
Tender bites were also good with a lot of batter on them. Not impressed by the expensive chicken breast and the onion rings were obviously from frozen and nothing special.
Overall, not worth the price.

Can’t beat the chicken from chicken shack!!! Hands down the best flavor in town. Never disappoints. They accidentally double charged the delivery fee and they took my name down and issued me a credit on my next order without hesitation.

Always delicious! Their chicken is the best! Especially at the Royal oak location. Love their cole slaw and okra. I just wish the wait wasn’t long, but it’s worth it.

Awesome chicken. I don’t know how it could taste any better. YUM

While my husband grew up in Madison Heights, MI, I did not. I grew up in Cincinnati, OH and so had never heard of this place. While visiting his family, we decided to get this for dinner tonight, as a carry out. We ordered an assortment of fried chicken, a slab of ribs, chicken tenders, fries and cole slaw.
OH. MY. GOSH.
I know… I know… this place is called the CHICKEN shack. But the ribs. My God, the ribs. They were AMAZING!!! They literally fell off the bone, they were melt in your mouth tender, and the barbecue sauce was absolutely delicious! I’ve only had ribs this good one other place (the fancy Mariott Marquis in Atlanta, GA) but we paid significantly more for them AND they’re 10 hours+ away.
That’s not to say the chicken wasn’t absolutely delicious as well. The ribs just knocked me out of my chair. The tenders had a very light, crispy batter to them, and the chicken breasts (on the bone) were crispy and delicious as well.
Overall, I loved it — seemed a bit pricey — $ 56 for what we got, but I’ll definitely still go next time we’re in town.

French fries, that’s where it ends. I wish it didn’t, I truly wanted better, R.I.P. Cajun Joes, Madison Whites

A year ago I’d have given this place a 5-​star review. Im not sure whats going on but they seem to be on a down hill trend. For what you get it is expensive.

My parents always come here. This is the first time I came it. Awesome service from Micah J. And chicken and broasted potatoes are delish!!!

Best chicken ever. The manager working on Saturday May 16, 2015 at 12:41 pm is so cruel to his employees I felt horrible for the staff working for him. Our cashier was so sweet as she was talked down to by a manager that knows EVERYTHING apparently.

I can only speak about the Chicken Shacks on 11 Mile in Royal Oak and on Northwestern Highway. Our absolute favorite (and only) places for fried chicken. Chicken is wonderful, as is the cole slaw. The broasted potatoes can be a greasy — if you’re eating at home, get them out of the carry out container ASAP.

The owner Phil is a great guy
Always making sure customer
Comes first Chicken Shack
Where you can get southern like hospitality
In the great Midwest ! Rib dinner with
Broasted Potatoes a must !

There’s no self-​control when you’re having a Shack attack.

After reading some of the glowing reviews for a bunch of mediocre restaurants in this Godforsaken restaurant city, I noticed this restaurant rated only three stars. When I used to dine daily with my aging father, who has since passed away, this was one of our regular spots. I thought the food was fabulous. From the chicken, ribs and shrimp, to the broasted potatoes and cole slaw, everything was excellent and consistant. It’s not a great place for date night, but for carrying out, bringing the kids, and even a quick lunch, this place cannot be beat !!!

Chicken Shack Coleslaw… ohh how I miss you? I don’t live close to the Shack these days but still dream about the best chicken dinners I had as a kid. And even though I’m not that old, things don’t change. Chicken Shack is still the best place for Chicken, ribs, coleslaw, and such TO GO. Delivery chicken and ribs is a great option to the usual pizza at your typical gathering. Eating In is hit or miss depending on how busy they are. The food is always great. I’d Much rather prefer eat Chicken Shack then some fast food competitor like Church’s or Popeyes! Hometown Stand-​By!

Best place for carryout ribs and chicken in Royal Oak. I really miss this place since I moved. Not a fan of the broasted potatoes.

Oven broasted potatoes… remember that –its the way you want to order your side along with your main broasted chicken or ribs. The potatoes are fried in chunks, then oven roasted, then drizzled with butter by a brush. Decent prices especially if you order a combo of meats. The rib sauce is so good you will want to take extra to go. Definitely a carry out spot. Really with this restaurant I can’t decide if they do a better broasted chicken or rib. Try the combo they are both awesome.
