Jack's Chicken Shack

Okay I'm not going to lie, I expected this place to be crap because I wasn't a fan of their bbq, BUT I was incredibly surprised at how wrong I was!!I was craving some fried chicken and decided to order from GrubHub one evening. At first, I didn't put two and two together and realize it's the same as the BBQ spot, but recognized it once my driver was headed my way. The moment I realized, I had pretty low expectations.I ordered the Kickin' 2 tenders basket with a side of fries, and holy smokes, I couldn't have been more wrong about my initial assessment! The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was actually spicy without being overwhelming - just the right kick, as the sauce said! The fries were pretty good, not too greasy, and the side Lickin' sauce definitely elevated the flavor. It also ensured that the meal wasn't too spicy and cooled off the Kickin' sauce. It also came with a cornbread that was warm and flaky, and had a butter pack that I highly recommend using.I absolutely LOVED my meal and will definitely give the place another chance in person!

Random find after a Kraken game, and which was better? The game or the chicken? This chicken let me tell you, soft, perfectly moist inside and crunchy outside I don't know how they did it. Me and my girlfriend got spicy and regular, with the house sauce and the garlic herb ranch. Beautiful medley with the fries and did I mention cornbread?? You are missing out until you go, you get a half a pound of tenders with said fries and cornbread SCORE. Go Seattle, go kraken, go jacks chicken shack. Service and interior too very friendly, clean, enough room for everyone great vibe. We unfortunately had to be somewhere so did take out but would've loved to stay.

I wanted some food and found this place. I actually thought Jack's Chicken Shack was different than Jack's BBQ....it's the same place. I kept walking around and yeah I found it! So by looking at the place it's a BBQ Joint with all the fixings. I will say this...the ladies at this place are top notch. The customer service I received was great. I forgot what it felt like to be taken care of....great job! Now to the food..... Ribs / chicken were decent...Mac N Cheese / Cornbread was ok. You get 2 sides with the meal and cornbread counts as a side item( They should include the Cornbread with the meal). The BBQ sauce you pour on yourself and the sauce alone was alright. The Peach Cobbler.....they must have thrown it in the oven for 5-10 minutes and gave it to me...I didn't expect it tasting like that...it was really good. Now I have to say this....it's a BBQ Joint in the Westlake area so I put that into consideration. All in all....if you want some BBQ swing on by and grab a plate

Delicious food all around! Service was fantastic and friendly, just like I get in Texas. Desert menu is spot on! Pecan pie or banana pudding. Can't go wrong!

Been craving some fried chicken for a while, so I decide to check this place out. This is technically Jack's BBQ, just that this is a portion of the overall Jack's menu that provides chicken sandwiches and chicken tenders, at what seems to be a slightly lower price point than the actual BBQ items.I ordered online for pickup and the process is very smooth - just enter the restaurant, tell your name of the order, and they will grab it for you in the order table area. I ordered the chicken sandwich original with the all meat chili, and wow, the food is quite filling. The chicken within the sandwich is moderately crispy, but there wasn't much slaw in the sandwich to augment the flavor of the sandwich. Definitely not super impressive compared to other places I have tried, but it adequately satisfied my cravings. I wished the chicken to be crispier and the other ingredients accentuate the flavor more to balance out the very generous portions of chicken.The all meat chili is quite rich, and you can add onions, cheese, and sour cream if you wish. The chili is very flavorful and smoky, and with huge chunks of meat! It is a bit spicy and quite salty just for your information. The benefit is that there's not too much water and so there's a lot of meat in it to bulk up in protein As this place is quite close in proximity to where I live, I may some time in the future try the kickin' version of the sandwich to see how it goes.

This place was delicious! I came here with my daughter.We had the chicken strips with a side of Mac & cheese, cornbread and the chips & queso. Queso was fabulous. Cornbread had a hint of cakey flavor and was terrific! Mac and cheese was a little runny for my taste, but some may like it that way, so they still get 5 stars from me. Everything tasted handmade.

Excellent. Phenomenal. Best chicken of my life and everybody was incredible. Simply devine... I long for the day I might return and munch once again...!

The food is ok. My family is from Mississippi, and this was certainly a different " southern" style food experience. The cornbread was bland, and a little dry. Luckily, there was butter to be placed on it but it didn't help. Think of it as yellow saltines that leave your mouth dry. I ordered the two piece meal. The batter could be a lot more crunchy. The chicken itself was spongy and rubbery. The collard greens were over salted, but the portions were fine.Everything was a bit of a disappointment and lacked flavor. I know we are in the PNW and the palate here is different, but using salt won't hide the lack of taste. Still on the hunt for good reasonably priced southern soul food. The search continues...

Not sure what happened to the quality of the tenders here, but tonight was such a let down.I've been a customer of Jack's Chicken Shack since they first started up as a part of Jack's BBQ in 2020 and my favorite thing about them was the Kickin Chicken Tenders. Whether in a sandwich or as a basket, they were always amazing in portion, texture, and taste. Over time I did notice the size of the tendies had decreased, but they were still delicious enough for me to find them worth the price. Today, they were a complete disappointment. Dry meat, breading that was soft and falling off, and the kickin sauce was obviously just drizzled on top of plain tenders that seemed like they have been sitting around. I don't know if this is the standard that they are adhering to for cooking their tenders now or if the kitchen just didn't want to cook up new tenders and toss them in sauce like it should have been done.Maybe this was a one-off, or maybe this is just what to expect from now on based on some recent reviews, but I don't intend to come back.

Ordered takeout: The breading on the tenders was waaay too thick and kept falling off. Not too pleasant to eat as it felt like I was eating two separate things: seasoned fried breading and plain (but moist) chicken. Weirdly enough their online menu was also connected to their BBQ shop so I also ordered their beef brisket but ended up being very disappointed since it was one of the driest briskets I've ever had.Out of everything, I will say their texas caviar was refreshing to munch on. The mac & cheese, potato salad, cornbread were also good. Chili was definitely more on the oilier side, but still flavorful and tasty.
