Blue Store Chicken 3 North Blvd

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Blue Store Chicken is hands-down one of my favorite spots for fried chicken in Baton Rouge, and the North Boulevard location (4949, I believe) is the absolute best. Over the years, Blue Store has expanded across the city with locations on Swan Street, Highland Road, Burbank, Old Hammond Highway, and Plank Road in Baker. Each location has its own unique flavor, but not all Blue Store Chickens are created equal.

The North Boulevard location is the real standout for me. The chicken here is always crispy, perfectly seasoned, and spicy with just the right amount of kick. It’s almost always hot and fresh, straight out of the fryer. My go-to order is simple: three wings and three potato logs, and it never disappoints. The potato logs are just as much of a star as the chicken—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and utterly delicious.

Now, while the chicken and logs are consistently excellent, I can’t say the same for their sides. The shrimp fried rice is a pass for me—it’s made with parboiled rice and canned shrimp, which leaves it lacking in flavor and texture. The red beans and rice at this location also fall short of the mark. I’ve tried them multiple times, and they’re just not Louisiana-quality red beans. However, if you’re looking for great red beans, I’d recommend the Highland Road location, which does them better.

Special shoutout to the Baker location on Plank Road: they used to have a lady named Mona who cooked the most incredible red beans (and dirty rice!) on Sundays and Mondays. Her red beans were the best I’ve ever had from any Blue Store location.

While I can’t recommend the sides at North Boulevard, I wholeheartedly recommend the chicken and potato logs. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or just in the mood for the best fried chicken in town, Blue Store Chicken is a must-visit. The service is quick, and you’ll be in and out in about five minutes unless they’re frying fresh batches.

10/10 for the chicken, especially at North Boulevard! Highly recommend.

the food is good and the wait time is little to none - however the portion size is extremely small. Yeah it's only $8 but was expecting a little bit more. Chicken was saltier than other places, the potatoe log - would not recommend that, it's legit just one piece of wedge fry, get something else instead. Wings were small as well.

Overall rating - i would give this place a 6.1/10

Vegetarian options: They have salads.

10/15/24 - Doesn’t take much at all to be descent. We went and spent quite a bit of money. The pan that the chicken was in was very hot. I asked if I could have an additional empty pan to put the pan in so that I would not burn my hands and fingers. I told the cashier I was willing to pay for the pan. The cashier said they could give me the small tray that can hold a small order of fries — the one that can fit in the palm of your hand. What was I to do with a tray under an aluminum pan. After spending that much money, I felt undervalued and unappreciated.

I normally go to Bluebonnet to get my food but I decided to go to this location today. I'm trying to figure out if I'm paying $3.59 for Shrimp Fried Rice, why do I only get '4' Shrimp and a whole bunch of rice???!!! I will NEVER go back to this location. Bluebonnet Blue Store doesn't fry their chicken hard and it's fresh and I get the portion of food that I pay for! And idk if anyone can see it, but the shrimp are so pink, they don't even look real!

I always enjoy my visit to Blue Store. The food quality is consistent and I’m never disappointed with my selection. The counter person and their customer service are always wild cards but when I’m in town I never miss an opportunity to get their famous chicken wings despite inconsistent customer service

I buy from the store ALL the time. I asked the worker if he could put the wings in a Styrofoam box instead of a bag because the wings were for my mom.and she is old school, very particular how food is presented to her. He told me NO they could not do that..I would have paid for the box. Were they really going to miss the box? Sometimes it's ok to accommodate the customers

Chicken wings were so good. I called them back to compliment them. Nice people. Chicken and Fries were hot.

I ordered the red beans and rice plate, and it was delicious. The food was seasoned really well! I have also tried their shrimp fried rice and tender meal before. This is my go-to place for a quick and hot meal
