Stopped here close to closing after seeing a show at the Savoy. Staff were super friendly and welcoming even though I'm sure they wanted to close up and go home. Really clean, bright and airy in the restaurant. Our food was really good. I had the BLT salad with chicken...huge salad! Lots of cheese and bacon and chicken. My friend had a grilled cheese and fries. Freshly made, lots of filling and cooked to perfection. The fries were frozen ones but had been cooked crisp but not greasy. Great food, great service, clean inviting restaurant. Well worth stopping for a meal.

We just moved to Glace Bay and knew about the Chicken Shack from the vacation that caused us to move here. Really good food, great customer service, and while it wasn't the reason we moved here, my partner said it factored in there. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Only place to go for your chicken. Very friendly staff and reasonably priced. Especially compared to some other garbage chicken places in the area now.

Nice place and delicious food, we tried the fried chicken combo and it was good. Should have reduced a bit of salt in the chicken. But I will again go there
