My new favorite chicken place. My first try was Nashville with medium-spice, which had a perfect blend of spice and coleslaw. Perfect thick cut Crispy style.

An Industry-Recognized Top Franchise Opportunity
Great food,10/10. The staff was very friendly, food came out fresh and hot. On top of that, the restaurant was very clean. They also make homemade sauces, would honestly go just for the sauces as they taste like no other. Will be going again!
I have been driving past this restaurant for weeks while it has been under construction and they are finally open so I had to stop in and try it. I had the chicken tenders and fries with a side of jalapeño ranch and had to add cheese sauce on the side for the fries. The food had great flavor and the sauces were a must and to top it off the food was steaming hot! The staff checked on me multiple times to make sure I didn’t need anything else. I will definitely be back in I want to try the spicy chicken sandwich next time!
Went to Daddy’s Chicken Shack, the best experience any customer deserves. When I walked in, the cashier welcomed me in best way possible, choosing my order was so easy. And the food is a 10/10, was hot when i got my order, tasted fresh with just the right heat. If you’re coming here i would recommend the Nashville Chicken Sando. This restaurant got 5 stars from me, but deserves 10!
