Willie's Chicken Shack offers uneven service but excellent chicken at a great price. Customers praise the crispy chicken, with one claiming it's the crispiest they've ever had. The biscuit is also highly recommended, with one customer dubbing it the best they've ever had. The restaurant is located right on the strip, making it easy to find, with outdoor seating available on the sidewalk for those who want to enjoy people watching. The interior features bright yellow and red colors, creating a lively atmosphere that pairs well with the neon lights and vibrant drinks. The menu is simple and straightforward, with the highlight being the Daiquiri’ options.
The food includes big, juicy tenders that are crunchy on the outside and well seasoned, along with a buttery, crunchy biscuit that reminds some of Church’s biscuits. The fries are well seasoned and crunchy, and the Red Beans and Rice are flavorful, tender, and slow simmered, with more beans than rice, which is ideal. Customers often find the prices a bit high, with a typical combo costing around $25, prompting some to consider coupons or deals for return visits.
A recent reviewer mentioned trying the fish and shrimp platter, which unfortunately tasted like day-old grease, and fries that seemed soaked in water. Chicken strips were considered okay, with the fries and biscuit being good. Overall, Willie's Chicken Shack is recommended for a fun experience and delicious, crispy chicken, especially if looking for a casual, lively spot on the strip.
