Chicken Shack

After having this place recommended to us, we made the trek down to the 'Boro to try them out at their new location on N. Rutherford Blvd (near MTSU). I was pleasantly suprised to find it was clean and in a decent area, the staff was friendly and continued to check to see if we needed anything, and most of all that the chicken was great! It wasn't overly greasie or oily like most hot chicken and man was it cooked to perfection. I had the ""s lap your mama"" level of spicy and it was awesome ... enough spice to taste but not overpowering. My friend had the ""mild"" which was good too but it was basically just normal fried chicken, not spicy at all . \r \r The only downside for us is that it's so far away (a 30 min drive). Next time we're craving some hot chicken though we probably will make the drive down there since it's the best we've had since Hot Chicken Dot Com closed it's doors a couple of years ago.. The prices are mid-range; so expect to pay about $10 a person. Pros: Great Chicken, Friendly Staff, Clean & Safe Place To Eat Cons: Far From Nashville, Took A Little While For The Food To Arrive more

I grabbed some takeout from this place last week and was more than surprised. The food was so good, the restaurant so pleasant, and the people so nice that I'm going to post this on citysearch.\r \r I love hot chicken so I found the chicken shack online. Living in NE williamson county and wanting to avoid any relatively unfavorable areas at night (ie ANY other hot chicken spot), I decided to give this place a shot. I had the hot version of a chicken breast and wing and was pleasantly surprised. The hot coating and heat weren't nearly as overpowering as their competitors; the fried chicken alone was perfect. The chicken wasn't greasy at all! I have at last found a hot chicken place of which I'm not afraid to travel and that doesn't ruin my car seats with grease! Thank you Smyrna Chicken Shack! Pros: somewhat decent area, good food but not overpowering, clean and pleasant eat-in environment Cons: hard to spot, Smryna, only fried items on the menu (not even a salad) more
