I got 2 piece dark with Mac and cheese and stuffing. The chicken was absolutely delicious. The sides were amazing. Then I had sweet potato pie and my gf had carrot cheesecake. Both homemade. So so so so so good. read less

The chicken was even freshly made after we ordered rather than getting something that's been sitting out getting cold. Highly recommended! read less

Best dang fried chicken & Mac & cheese I've had in a LLLLOOOONNNGGGH time. Called ahead & grub was ready when we got there. Little bit disappointed- would of been fun to chat with the staff more! Chicken bites were unique & yummy. Casual, comfortable and well worth the detour off the interstate. read less

This great place is tucked away in downtown Beaver Falls. The chicken, being the star of the show, is fantastic. What really sets it aside though is the range of fresh sides, from the typical mac and cheese and potatoes to mure unusual options like collard greens. All with fast, friendly service and fair prices.
You can eat there, but we get take out. Give it a try, you'll be back for more! read less

Had the collared greens and mac n' cheese, and the sides came close to overshadowing the main course (but not quite). The bottled drinks were also a good price: total price for dinner was around 8 bucks. Will definitely return when I am in the area. read less

Chicken was seasoned beautifully, crisp, moist and delicious. My family enjoyed the Mac and cheese, collard greens, and corn bread.
Was an extreme value and I highly recommend anytime you are in Beaver Falls. read less

We called for takeout and the man who answered the phone was very pleasant and polite, they also were able to have our order which was pretty big ready in 10 minutes so they definitely get an a+ for customer service.
Now on to the food...it was AMAZING!! I got the 2 piece meal with bbq beans and macaroni and cheese, the chicken was seasoned perfectly, and the sides were delicious, it also came with cornbread that was really good too but it needed a little bit of honey and butter. My boyfriend got the same meal but with greens and mashed potatoes and he was also very impressed with his meal. My sister in law got the waffle bites which are little pieces of chicken fried in waffle batter served with syrup...omg soo good, who would have thought? Lol!! The portions were also huge we were all stuffed before we could even finish our meals!
I really have no complaints at all about this place and I'll definitely be back soon! read less

Decided to check it out and whaddya know, he was right. Everything here is so good and reasonably priced.
The chicken is not deep fried but is breaded more like upscale Shake n' Bake, and unlike most places that do it that way, said chicken is not bland but is very tasty and good. Mac and cheese was excellent, even in this day and age when every single restaurant has rediscovered mac n' cheese (and most of them are not excellent). Baked beans were nice and smokey. Sweet potato pie was awesome - again unlike most places that churn out bland sweet potato pie, this place actually puts some spices in it. Beaver Falls is not a place I expected to see a soul food place opening up but man am I ever glad it did. The restaurant is even nice and cozy to eat in if you want to, although we didn't have time. Lady running the place was super nice and friendly and even ran after me when I forgot my pie (you didn't have to do that ma'am, but when I tasted the pie I was glad you did!) My only complaint is that I live a few hours away so I can't go back every week. read less

With food this delicious and an atmosphere this cool, it’s no wonder Beaver Falls gets their chicken from the shack.

Mississippi Chicken Shack serves chicken with soul
BEAVER FALLS -- Mississippi Chicken Shack owner William “Art” Coleman doesn’t know much about the business benefits of Facebook or the internet. His soul music-themed restaurant on Seventh Avenue in Beaver Falls has relied instead on filling a gap in the marketplace and word-of-mouth advertising. Coleman, a Rochester resident and a retired caseworker for the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, never had a dream of opening his own restaurant. The Chicken Shack’s general manager, Finis Lawson, also known as “The Chicken Man,” and cook Dorothea Barnes brought up the idea to their friend Coleman. . . .
