The Chicken And Burger Shack Rego Park

This restaurant is a great option for a quick meal when you're not in the mood to cook. The charbroiled chicken has a nice flavor, although it can be a bit on the dry side, so you'll want to use the BBQ sauce to add some moisture. I appreciate the variety of side dishes available, and with the half chicken combo, you also get a small salad and pirate bread, making it quite filling. I usually stop by once a month when I'm in the area for my doctor's appointment.

This was my first visit to the restaurant, and it was a disappointing experience. First, the wait time was excessively long. I ordered something that should have been simple—chicken tenders and sweet potato fries. The menu listed it at $12.50, and after tax, it came to over $14. You’d expect the quality of the food to match the price, but unfortunately, it did not. The chicken was overcooked with burnt breading that was almost rock hard, and the fries were soggy and lacked flavor aside from the sweet potato taste, heavily drenched in oil. Even the pita bread, while still edible, tasted burnt. How do you burn pre-made pitas? I also received a side salad that I didn’t want, and they seemed to overdo it with a huge portion, which I was too repulsed to finish. Here's what I left on the plate.

I know it's called the Chicken Shack, but I ended up having a burger, and it was fantastic! This was my first visit to the restaurant, and the service was great with very friendly staff. I would definitely come back. Give it a shot; I think you'll be happy with your choice!

Just picked up chicken tenders. Actually the worst chicken tenders ive ever had. all breading no chicken. 0 chicken. Not sure how it?s possible but it has been achieved now.

Pretty decent broiled chicken. Much better than the chicken place across the street. Not a bad deal for half a chicken at $8.50. Fresh and didn?t make me feel bad. That?s already better than 90% of the chicken out there. The broiled chicken is about a 3.9 out of 5.
