If you're looking for a dining experience that combines overpriced mediocrity with underwhelming flavor, look no further than Chicken Shack in Arcadia. Despite its perpetually crowded atmosphere, this establishment left much to be desired.
Firstly, the food was a major letdown. Every dish we sampled seemed to lack any discernible flavor, drowning instead in a sea of grease. It's as if the chef forgot to season anything before it hit the fryer. To add insult to injury, the prices were exorbitant, making each lackluster bite feel like a robbery.
Moreover, the cleanliness of the restaurant left much to be desired. Filth seemed to be a permanent fixture, detracting from any potential enjoyment of the meal. It's a wonder how this place passes health inspections, let alone maintains a loyal customer base.
In conclusion, Chicken Shack in Arcadia, Oklahoma, is a prime example of style over substance. Don't be fooled by the crowds; you're better off exploring other dining options in the area. Save your taste buds and your wallet the disappointment.

The food at the restaurant was excellent, but I would not recommend it to people with disabilities. I have myoclonus dystonia, which makes it difficult for me to eat and drink. During my visit, the bartender asked me how much I had to drink because she assumed that I was intoxicated instead of considering the possibility that I had a disorder. She explained that her previous experiences with drunk customers made her prejudge me. The situation was incredibly humiliating.

My husband reserved a table for 20 inside on the rocks for Sunday for his grandson’s birthday.He got texts confirming and reminding him of the reservation at 1pm today. However we were there for about an hour he was told they had made a booking error and he was moved to an outside table. He was told that 75 people would be there at 3pm and needed his table. We left at about 5pm but there was hardly any people in the area we were moved from. We have been there a number of times and have also had issues with our bill. The last time we went before this was on a Friday for the all you can eat catfish. The waiter had no idea what was to be included and the bill was totally wrong and had separate charges for the side which was to be included and even had a$3 charge for each cup of tartar sauce we were given. We ended having to ask for a manager to get the bill corrected.

If you like chicken, you'll like their chicken. I've heard their gizzard are good
I don't understand how people here can write a 2 star review and say the 'food is good/great'.Don't settle for chewy chicken, slow service, jankey seating and dirty tables. Just skip it.

Food is great, service is usually great, but they never have open times for takeout. If you are wanting takeout for dinner, don’t waste your time to start an order only to see that there are no more pickup times for the evening when you try to submit the order. I will be finding a new place to frequent for my takeout order.
