Probably the best grilled chicken you can get on this island! Only downside is cash only but there is an atm on site.

Chicken really is delicious. Sides were just so-so. Pleasant place to be and reasonably priced. Definitely a recommend. It would be nice if they'd give you a few plates for your food, however.

The food has has taken a 360. The cooking is not consistent. The rice can be soft today and hard tommorow. Im not sure if the real cooks retired. I was never sure what to expect if the half chicken and rice was ordered. The chicken varied from tender to tough. The johhny cakes and potato salad tasted great as always. I wish that the food could be rewinded by ten years. Time has changed and the food has too.

Awesome food and beers. You will be hard pressed to find better food at this reasonable price. Always busy... which says a lot.  First place we stopped when we arrived ... again

Fun local place and a must stop for visitors.
1/2 chicken dinner is enough for 2.
Easy place to park and very friendly place with tourists and locals

The best Latin/Caribbean food served here....Quick service with restaurant quality ...Being a local, I have been coming here from a child and the food still has it original taste..from the Yuca to the roasted chicken.
Anywhere on island that you see the locals frequent are the number one spots to visit....Highly recommended....

Great place full of locals.  Make sure you order from the daily printed menu at the cash register, not the big/permanent menu on the wall.  Our party had BBQ ribs, goat stew, chicken stew and lots of sides.   The ribs were fall- off-the-bone tender with a great flavor.  Cannot say enough about the Johnny Cakes which are somewhere between a corn fritter and a doughnut.  Amazing and the best we have had on the island.

Went here on a hot Saturday afternoon and it was pretty good!

Ordered two 1/2 chickens, and an order of beef stew. The rice/beans were good, and the dipping sauce for the chicken was sooooo good. My only issue with the chicken was that it wasn't as crispy roasted as my Mom's. Next time I'll ask for a darker roasted one, so it's not a problem.

Cash only.
Drinks and a bar.
Bathrooms out back to wash your hands.
Yum!

I almost go here everyday! The food and the staff are great. I haven't tried the chicken because it doesn't come in small pieces which is not a negative but a preference. The wait is long because they are always packed. If you order off their weekend dinner menu prepare to wait because everything is cooked to order. I waited like 40 mins or more for the salmon pasta. The wings are SO good!!! I always get something stewed or the roast pork. I love their smoothies too!!! I literally order like 3 of them.

The food was so good here that I came back a second time during a four day trip. I ordered the chicken with seasoned rice and beans both times. The seasoning is just right on the chicken and the meat was falling off of the bones. I wish places back home could cook like this!

If your visiting the island try this place immediately. I was here on a work trip and this is where my coworkers from there took me to eat. I'm so glad they did!

Chicken and their Johnny cakes are the best!! They also have an excellent chicken quesadilla, which was incredible.. but only when it's available. We tried their buffalo chicken chili with the Johnny cakes and it was delicious but they don't sell it. It was only for the chili competition which is a shame. They'd make a killing.

I've also tried the meat loaf and it was pretty good. The prices are great and the service has been pleasant. I also enjoyed how they are involved with the community.

Gave it a four star bc  I always found the rice a bit on the blander side and the only cash thing is pretty inconvenient.

Excellent chicken! Excellent chicken! Excellent chicken! Excellent chicken!

This folks make a smoked half or whole chicken that is finger licking good!

Get the deal of the day that includes a half chicken and two Johny Cakes for around $7 bucks! I could not finish it all in one sitting!

I'll be back to try the bar and get some more chicken!

Braved this place for lunch once, despite two colleagues who ate there previously and got violently ill afterwards.

I had the half chicken with johnnycakes, and had no issue. At least, not with getting sick. The johnnycakes were good, the chicken was fresh and crispy, but lacked a bit of flavor. Maybe that's just their style, but I expected more of the place.

They certainly do a brisk business, so they must be doing something right. As for me, I thought it was OK, but won't be hurrying back. It just wasn't that great.

Best chicken and roast pork on the island...never disappoints!! Always busy but the line moves fast, and the staff is friendly.

If you come to St. Croix you have to try the Chicken Shack!  Super affordable with huge portions.  The chicken is perfectly cooked and the johnny cakes are the best I have ever had.  The location is down to earth and the service is fairly fast.

The BEST chicken on the Island, no doubt about it! Depending on when you go there can be a bit of a wait.

Perfectly cooked grilled chicken with hot fresh Johnny cakes are excellent tasting! Love the open air dining atmosphere. They have a well stocked bar too!

This local takeaway dinner/bar is the best. Food is great , prices are right and the atmosphere is alive & fun. Only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because the Chickenshack ran out of chicken...

So I loved this place. Not only were they open mere days after a hurricane hit and were pretty much the only place open, but their food was good! I loved the Jonnycakes, the over rice, and of course, the chicken was on point. If you are visiting St. Thomas, this is a must-visit.

The roasted chicken was amazing.   Our friends rave about this place and they know what they are talking about!
