This is the best new restaurant in Redding. (It's a total rebrand for those who remember the previous shop). The combination of flavors on their chicken and waffle is to die for. The sandwiches are the most inventive and balanced I've seen in Redding, and the entire menue is inspired, from the buffalo loaded chicken fries to the large salads for those who are herbaceously inclined. First, the chicken and waffle: The breading is on point perfection, the chicken is incredibly tender, and it comes on a bacon chive waffle that is a *(raised dough!)* recipe for a delicious texture and taste. Best of all, it comes with a pecan and cinnamon butter and a bourbon maple syrup option that is the final touch to an amazingly versatile dish. The salt, fat, acid, crisp and doughy and tender are all off the charts. Next I tried the chicken and waffle sandwich: the Mimi's southern BBQ comes with fried chicken, Mimi's personal barbecue recipe, cheddar, coleslaw, bacon, and crispy onion straws all between two waffles for a once again perfect texture. Third, the Mr. Crispy is a powerhouse sandwich with chili honey, coleslaw and dill pickles. Fourth, the 5-piece chicken tenders + fries are huge 6oz pieces of heavenly golden fried chicken on nicely crispy shoestring fries with house-made dipping sauces as creative as a spicy Korean, mango habanero, ghost pepper, and a variety of others. What sets this restaurant apart is that just about everything you eat is made in-house, which is what takes food to the next level in a fast casual restaurant experience. -I'm just glad they found a way to have this much excellence at this kind of price. Seriously, the head chef knows how balance all these factors and they're doing it perfectly. This is why in my book the new Chicken Shack is the best restaurant in Redding right now.

Great fried chicken spot. A variety of sides and sauces. Wings served different ways, big crispy chicken tenders, sandwiches, even chicken fried steak. I have and will continue to recommend this place to friends looking for a quick bite to eat.

OMG the best chicken ever! I had the chicken waffle sandwich. Chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy. Not dry at all. Waffle was fresh and soft. Great texture. Great apple slaw on it. The pickles are to die for. I cannot say enough good things about this chicken place. The biggest problem is I live an hour and a half away. I will make that drive.

This is a must visit location for the best chicken in Redding California. I prefer this to Chick-fil-A although I would say Chick-fil-A is a close second. The staff at Chicken shack is friendly, professional, and fast. So if you're ever passing through Redding definitely check out the Chicken shack on churn Creek right off I-5 I promise you you won't regret it

I love this place. They have the best overpriced chicken dishes you will ever find. But....once you are finished with your meal, the price is worth the experience you just had. Give this place a try, I think you will find it to your liking as well. Highly recommend giving this place a try

It's surprisingly quiet great place :) After a couple of long drives and a full-on shopping mission in Redding, I stopped at The Chicken Shack — and this place seriously delivered. I ordered the Buffalo Loaded Chicken Fries (held the bleu cheese), and it was exactly what I needed: crispy fries, juicy fried chicken bites, buffalo + ranch drizzle, and fresh chives. It was high-protein, super filling, and honestly kept me going the rest of the night — perfect for a shopping-heavy day. Shoutout to the woman working the front counter — she was incredibly friendly and patient while I figured out what I wanted. You could tell she actually cared about helping people enjoy their meal, and that made the whole visit feel even better. Another unexpected highlight? The drink station. I loved being able to mix soda water with a splash of flavor — it gave me a refreshing, low-calorie option that still felt like a treat. It’s awesome that they offer so many smart drink choices alongside the food. Definitely one of the best setups I’ve seen for customizing your own drink. The place was surprisingly quiet when I arrived, which was crazy to me considering how good the food is. Clean dining area, fast service, good music playing — everything about it felt smooth and relaxed. If you're in Redding and want a flavorful, affordable, protein-packed meal, don't miss this place. It’s seriously underrated.

First time in, absolutely loved it! Very nice people, great vibe, clean atmosphere, delicious food and a menu with the right amount of options (not pictured, sorry!)! We had the Bbq Fried Chicken Salad and Disco Fries - highly recommend both! 🙌🏼🤤 Portion sizes are more than enough and you are getting more than your monies worth imo. 😊 Thanks again for the great food and great service!

Cameron is the man and Chicken Shack is the place to enjoy life and insanely good food. The tropical sauce, blue cheese, ranch, bourbon syrup, it’s all made in house with love, magic, and care. Every bite proves it. Cameron, the fearless leader, is a class act and someone you’ll be glad to support. Do yourself a favor and hit up Chicken Shack today. You’ll be glad you did.

Fantastic chicken wings! Taste great and portion/price is good. There wings would be $30 in bay area but only $17-20 here. The sandwich & burger portions are huge too. Salads are great, hella chicken, avocado for only $13! $13! All the other chicken dishes are good, nothing too special. Overall would recommend!
