The Chicken Shanty - Delicious Chicken Strips and Wings in Coeur d'Alene

I had written a more in-depth review, went away from it for a few minutes came back and it was gone. I would definitely recommend that you come with friends and family if you do. The speed of service was fast. I turned my back to get a drink and my food was done. The girl there at the counter was very friendly and very helpful. So I got the Shantastic plate with one of each type of chicken strips. I found the spicy strip to be very delicious. The flavored hot oil was a pleasant surprise. Some of it got on the fries and let me tell you that made them taste even better. I got Voodoo sauce which was sweet and cooling with faint spiciness, buffalo sauce standard flavor and the Nashville sauce which I thought was the best sweet spicy smoky. The drinks were subtly refreshing and were a nice taste clearer from the sauces. They were really fast and selling down the spiciness of the food. My nose ran a little and it wasn't too crazy hot. Based on my experience I thought the place should have more people in it. A busy place makes for great atmosphere. Definitely a place to try out. I will likely come back and enjoy this place again.

Wow! I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I'm honestly a bit of a picky eater (I have very discriminatory taste) but everything was so delicious. First time here and I ordered the Chicken Bacon Avocado Wrap. It was so good! High quality food. You can tell from the taste. I tried the dragon fruit sauce as it was recommended by other reviews. Personally I don't have much to say about it. It was pretty plain, just sweet and very mild. Not exciting. As someone who likes more of a kick, or burst of flavor, I could take it or leave it. But I will RAVE about the peanut sauce. Absolutely SO mouth wateringly good! Reminds me of Thai food/pairs perfectly with the taste of chicken. The wait time after we ordered was about 20 minutes but it was dinner time on a Saturday and they were super busy. It was worth the wait. I found the concrete tables at the booth a little bit odd as a decorative choice, as it doesn't lend to a very comfy texture or visually appealing surface. The music in the restaurant consisted mainly of top rock hits from the 70s and 80s, I'm sure it's meant to be a crowd pleaser but was a bit cliche and nothing impressive. Other than that I really have nothing less than positive to say! Also, I love that their fountain features the Stubborn Soda brand. Stubborn is a company I love to support as they use fair trade cane sugar as their sweetener. The Pineapple Cream Soda was a new flavor for me and did not disappoint. Definitely a place to return to!

I was quite shocked at the prices for chicken tender sandwiches if they were about 3 dollars cheaper. Now, we ordered almost the whole menu. I enjoyed several of the items, very tasty, Nashville sandwich, the avocado baccon spinach wrap, and wings. Now, it seems they specialize in their sauces, and they seem homemade, and that may contribute to the sandwiches being a tad high in price. I was very happy with the peanut sauce, the dragonfruit, and just wow on the honeymustard. The hot sauces my friends seem to enjoy. They had the crab ragoon chicken, jalapeños chicken popper sandwich, and chicken wings (tad small ) but tasty, and I believe it had half hot and half peanut sauce. They have adorable kids' meal bags.Adorable baskets are that the fries come in and are very tasty. Go check it out.

Me and my family went to chicken shanty to celebrate my boyfriends 18th birthday they had the best customer service and amazing food everything tasted so good and was perfectly crispy the sauces are so unique and add such good flavor with all the chicken. I’ve been to lots of chicken takeout and this is number 1 on the list love this place!!

I am not one to leave reviews but this place was GREAT. The kind lady that helped us was amazing!!! The fries were by far some of the best fries I have ever had. I got the Shan tastic trio thing that was amazing. The spicy one was the perfect amount of spicy, the regular one was crispy, and the coconut one was just the right amount of crunch, sweetness, and of course chicken. My partner got the Mr. Crabs chicken sandwich which he loved. The environment was so welcoming and fun. We will be back!!! TRY THE PINEAPPLE CREAM SODA MIXED WITH PEPSI AND THANK ME LATER. BEST ACCIDENT IVE EVER MADE.

A great first experience for our family. We loved the high bar in the middle of the restaurant. It makes for a casual fun experience for a large group of people. The food was great. So many options for a family that loves wings, and a good dipping sauce. A few favorite dishes were the chicken strip basket and the basket of wings. Fun fact, they have an outdoor seating area for warm summer nights. We will definitely be back.

I loved this place!! What a cute joint, so friendly and felt good coming in here. The people were nice the food was great and we all left FULL. I loved all the sauce choices and the crab sandwich with coconut chicken was bomb. My kids loved that the kids meals were just strips and fries in adorable bags. They are little animals and were happy to pick. We loved it and will definitely be making this a regular stop

Not bad. Kinda expensive. I ordered the trio, which is like the sampler of 3 different kinds. Could barely tell the difference between them, but coconut won the day. But all 3 were good and tasted like real chicken. Best part was they didn't flip the stupid screen around and ask for a tip like so many places today. I tipped a good amount in cash just because of that. /Rant. Anyway, would def come here again.
