Hattie's Chicken Shack

Great! I was able to get gluten free fried chicken and Gf fries and it was delicious! Lots of GF options and I didn’t have an issue with cross contamination.

You can get chicken tenders, nuggets, fries, and even chicken thighs! Some things are not explicitly listed on the menu, but a few are. They’re very delicious and taste like actual fried food. The bigger chicken pieces can be a bit greasy though. Dips for any chicken is provided but anything extra will cost you. I haven’t gotten sick eating here!

8/26 update: for months now, it seems, their fryer has not been in service. Huge disappointment. I’ve stopped checking now. I used to order takeout on Mealeo and there are no more options for gluten free fried chicken and nuggets. Why? I don’t understand. Their prices seem to have inflated as well. Honestly, make the drive to 518 donuts in Troy and get their fried chicken.. it is way better!

Worth noting that the gluten free KIDS MEAL is $12- one leg and one wing, and it just goes up from there. Not worth it IMO.

Great when available, but the equipment used in Gluten Free seems to be out of service a lot.

I had no issues and the food is great when available.

I had the chicken nuggets and French fries and didn’t get sick. French fries were amazing!

Other Characteristics

• Good for takeout

They have gluten free fried chicken (a half of a chicken on the bone), gluten free chicken nuggets, and gluten free fries. I haven’t had fried chicken in 6 years, but this chicken was amazing!!! The fries were good, but the chicken was my favorite. Very crunchy and not too greasy. I wish there was a Hattie’s near our home!

Really yummy food that is 100% worth the extra wait! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating! We were apologized to twice for having to wait.

Great chicken and French fries. It takes 20 minutes for chicken but worth it

Had two kids meals - one GF, one regular. We all liked the GF better! Was asked many times if everything was ok. Very happy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The chicken is good but I struggle with it costing nearly double what the regular chicken costs. I understand a dollar or two more but $6.00 seems rather excessive.

The ability to have fried chicken was great, and the staff was very accommodating. Pricey for chicken but these days everything gf is it seems. Worth it though!

Very good fried chicken . Have never had a reaction here. They have a dedicated fryer for fries !

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really excellent . going back again!

I ordered the gluten free chicken even though it only comes in 1/2 chicken size at almost double the price of the regular one. They have a dedicated deep fryer, but the cook who was in the middle of applying their normal mixture to the non - gluten free chicken lifted the basket flung flour all over the chicken. Then they bagged the chicken and tried to give that to me obviously not understanding the consequences. When I stated what I saw they apologized and offered to make new chicken, again not understanding that the whole oil and fryer habe to be cleaned first. I took my refund and left very hungry and disappointed.
