Recommendations

"As addictive as the Little Italy restaurant’s name lets on."
"The Firebird is imperative on your first visit, complete with spicy fried thigh (but not too spicy), cool ranch, crispy onions, and pickles on a potato roll. The Senor Croque is the perfect fried chicken breakfast sandwich."
"The Crack Shack knows how to do chicken right!"
"It was so good. One bite and I was drifting off to that happy food place. Not too spicy and not the spicy that is just spicy, but has no flavor. This is the real deal spicy chicken sandwich, where the fried chicken is still crispy from first bite to last."
"Definitely order the Firebird."
"The Crack Shack is home to the best fried chicken sandwiches in the city (if not the state) - the Firebird is a classic chicken thigh sandwich cooked to perfection."
"Sandwich lovers will crave the cool, creamy lime mayo, shredded napa cabbage, and pickled Fresno chilies on the Coop DeVille, and the sweet umami maple miso butter, bacon, Cheddar, and fried egg-topped Senor Croque."
"The selection of chicken sandwiches will satisfy any craving you might have."
"The sandwich was worth every bite. Often, fried-chicken sandwiches suffer from dry, poor quality meat but at Crack Shack the bird takes center stage. The thick, juicy, lightly breaded and fried chicken breast is tasty enough to eat alone."
"The best fried chicken sandwich and quite possibly the best fries I’ve eaten. You truly can taste the difference of high quality ingredients and chef-driven creativity; it will transcend all prior chicken sandwiches. “Eat Mor Chikin”? I think “Eat More Crack Shack” is the better answer."
