Loved that they had little daddy's so I could try different flavors all at once. And they were not that little. The buns were soft. Chicken was tender and flavorful. Friendly and fast service.

I don’t even like chicken and I love the chicken from here. Everything I have ever tried has been amazingly good. I have never once been disappointed and the staff are super nice with positive attitudes. Best place in town for chicken.

The best chicken burgers ever. I've ordered twice now thru uber eats and it does not disappoint.I recommend getting the All American if you don't like spicy. It packs in alot of flavor with beacon, pickles, cabbage, chicken and the buns of course.The ranch and spicy mayo is a must, it's the best I've ever tasted.The popcorn chicken is also good and crispy.The fries are fresh and crunchy as well.And if you want something sweet, go for the waffle chicken sandwich. It is VERY sweet so it might not be for everyone.Definitely check this place out if you're looking to eat chicken.

I ordered lunch from Daddy's Chicken Shack today and the food did not disappoint. I ordered the Big Daddy sandwich and the Three Little Daddy sliders. The Big Daddy sandwich was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The bun was nice and fresh. I liked the slaw that came on it but I do think it could have had a little bit more flavor. I thought it was a decent portion size for the price. For the sliders, I got the all american, spicy, and nashville. I enjoyed all three. Again, the meat was crispy and juicy. In terms of heat levels, they had a minor kick but nothing crazy. The sliders are a good option if you want to try three different sandwiches.Overall, it was a very good experience and I would return to try other menu items.

It's a tiny place with only outdoor seating. The chicken sandwiches are perfectly delicious. I've not had any chicken sandwich like this. The meat is well portioned, the bun is fresh and tasty and the toppings are superb. I love the Big Daddy with the sambal chili on it. Super yummy.We ordered take out the next day after eating there the evening before. That's always a good sign. Thinking about the food you had the day before and wanting to revisit it so soon. Give Daddy's Chicken Shack a try.

This is a nice takeout chicken sandwich spot in Old Town Pasadena. The chicken fillet was moist but not too spicy even though I ordered it "Extra Hot" but the fries were seasoned well. Limited Street parking outside on Dayton.

Tasty southern fried chicken sandwich place with "Asian" twist!This place is tucked away a little on Dayton st off Fair Oaks just two blocks south of the main Old Pas drag. There's metered street parking but if you're in the know there are some free spots. Or just pay $1 for 2hrs in the city lots. Ordering on kiosk is simple. They have a couple of $12 big sandwiches or $13 for three sliders that you can mix and match their spicy mild or regular. Pretty tasty with crunchy fried chicken. The slaw adds some fresh crispiness and I guess their "asian" flair could be the sriracha or sweet chili in their sauces for whatever heat level.

The food portion is amazing. Fresh and healthy! I gotta say for a small little shack in Pasadena I've never seen many people come in and the service is Devine! The woman is very helpful totally would recommend

Street parking can be insane depending but the vegan cauliflower "chicken" sandwich is delicious. I recommend ordering in advance.Update. I went today and the sandwich wasn't cauliflower. I have to limit my soy intake and I'm pretty sure it was beyond or impossible meat unless there was a mistake and it was real chicken. I was disappointed that they didn't use cauliflower as usual and I likely won't be returning because it's probably a permanent change.The cauliflower was amazing while it lasted.

I lives in Pasadena and has been to daddy's several times. Their fried chicken burger is really good. I like the sauce mix with cilantro and spicy mayo.But the young lady who served me yesterday was so impolite. She called me 'DOORDASH' instead of my name loudly ( my name was on the receipt) . But she called the customer before me by name.Well. I have a new name now 'doordash'.: )

This place was AMAZING! The service was top notch and my food came out so fast. The chicken was super juicy and the cookie was warm and absolutely delicious. I will most definitely be bringing my friends to check this new Houston Heights gem out!

Seriously, one of the best chicken sandwiches I have had. Presentation was great and service was wonderful. You can tell they really care about the food they make. If you are in the area, you should definitely stop by!

This place is love. The chef puts an amazing effort into making the tastiest food ever. The chicken is so moist, I can’t believe it’s deep fried. Look at the menu on your phone before you arrive. Country style is very little spice. If you ask for levels of spice - it will get hot quick. Everything on the menu is really really great food. See if the chef will tell you his secret recipe. Do not park in the red zone in front of the restaurant on either side of the street. You will be blocking the fire dept., hence the red zone. There is metered parking next to Central Park. There is shaded patio seating west of the front entrance.

Had a spicy chicken sandwich for around $13 and it was great, absolutely amazing food. However, I only had the sandwich because having a little bit of fries on the side would have set me back another $3 or $5. A drink would have been another $3 without the option for just a cup of water. I do not know if the prices are at a percentage that are reasonable for them to stay in business without overcharging, but because of the high cost just for me alone to eat I will not be stopping by again. If they are able to lower their cost in the future, I think they will establish a loyal customer base that will have no problem dropping around $10 for a complete meal multiple times in a week. Again, amazing chicken sandwich but personally I do not find it worth $13 with nothing additional coming with it. Good luck in the future.
