The Chicken Shanty

"Update. Was back in the area and stopped by to give it another try in the evening and was the only person there other than drivers for deliveries. Food was better and fresher. It was a bit dark in that area and I imagine it will be dang cold soon. So maybe if you live closer and want delivery its the way to go. The whole setup just doesn't quite make sense to me. Their sauces make a difference for me and those are excellent in my opinion Cant go 5 stars due to past experience. No drive thru today. Poor order completion with all fries and three horridly dry chicken wafers. Sauces were wrong. Disappointed with this second experience after a pretty decent first experience. Fries don't transport well at all. Cold and soggy. Sauces when correct make the food so much better. Cant say i would ever pay +13$ for those meals we just got. Pretty sure its not worth the hassle."

"Showed up and there was no line. I ordered a simple 3 piece basket. 2 other customers showed up and ordered much more complex and got their food first. The chicken sits out under uncovered warming lights and there are hella flys. They had the prep coleslaw bucket unrefrigerated and uncovered so I didn’t eat it. $13+ bucks for some cold chicken and I had to go up and ask if my order was ready as I’d been standing outside the window for 15 or so minutes. Not like I was waiting for fresh chicken or if it was busy I’d understand but seriously do better. Would actually have been great chicken honestly. Lemonade was watery. Not impressed."

"It's pretty good for a small chain place. It was busy when I went and they still have to sort out some flow issues but overall it didn't take too long to get ordered and get my food. Food is pretty good, crispy and fresh chicken strips. Fries have that crispy savory exterior with almost like a crust on the batter that keeps them crunchy even after they've cooled for a bit. I tried the chicken strips and also an avocado bacon chicken wrap. Both were good. Good selection of sauces too. Chicken pieces were a bit on the thin side but still good. Also had a prickly pear lemonade and it was good. Menu prices aren't bad, but they've got a Clover point of sale that charges you 4% kind of sneakily so if you have a large order be aware of that. Or pay cash to avoid it. It's also fly season right now so that was pretty gross being bothered by them while I was waiting for my order. Overall there is some room for improvement but it's also pretty new still. I'll be back to try some more soon."

"Let me start by saying the owner was friendly and knowledgeable. He helped us with our sauce selections and timing, provided excellent service. Now the food! We got the coconut chicken, avocado wrap, wings and the pineapple upside down cake and let me say we would order everything again! It’s definitely not your typical chicken place. Fresh juicy and so much flavor! Oh and don’t pass on the prickly pear lemonade! We’ll definitely be back and I recommend it!"
