Chicken Shack

As much as I hate to do this to a Black owned establishment, I’m going to have to leave one star. I have been frequenting this establishment on N. Acadian Thwy and off of Mohican for years. However, I recently went in and ordered two meals for myself and a coworker. I paid for both dinners but clearly informed them that the meals were for two individuals. Needless to say, they placed both meals on one paper boat (not a box). When I told them that I needed it prepared the correct way. The employee stated, “We don’t have that kind of time. You would’ve had to pay separate for each, one at a time.” When I told her that I couldn’t touch someone else’s food, she replied, “I’ll give you some plastic gloves and an extra bowl.” That was the beginning of the end for my patronizing of this restaurant after over 3 decades of support. Not sure if Mr. Joe Delpit still has a role in this place but if so he may consider changing his policies about multiple orders for individuals.

I have not been here in years. I probably won't return. The pork chop sandwich was not good. What I mean by not good is the meat was dropped in grease after apparently already sitting under the light...tuff! I was too outdone and throwed it away. I figured I wouldn't waste my time calling to complain.

While passing through Baton Rouge, my friend who was born and raised here encouraged me to stop and have the best fried chicken. Was he right? Oh yeah!!! The customer service is friendly and professional. I ordered a three piece meal with coleslaw and red beans. I cannot believe how juicy the chicken was. The batter was so delicious, I regret not ordering a 12 piece to take on the road. As I walked out, one of the employees asked me if I liked it, I said, no! I LOVED IT! He laughed and said, ‘Knuckle Suckin’ Good!’ Yes it is!
