Now it made a 25 minute trip back to my house and was still crispy and SO moist. And loaded with flavor. Holy cow it's not greasy at all it is just so stinking good!!!
And the side dishes?!?! Oh my word the potato salad is to die for and I loved the super thick and chunky chicken gravy that came with the mashed potatoes. The collard greens were delish and so were the green beans. And the corn muffins were fantastic.
And the chicken and waffle bites were delicious. Just a little hint of maple syrup.
This man know his way around the kitchen and man alive does it show. Not to mention fantastic service with a smile!Prices are SUPER reasonable. We absolutely, positively will return!!!!
Be sure to call ahead if you have a large order. It's a small operation and they appreciate a heads up!!! 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

All those other fried chicken companies might as well shut their damn doors right now because Mississippi chicken shack will shut them all down and put them all out of business they have the best two-piece meals this side of the Mississippi I don't know how they continue to do it but their customer service is A+++ if I could eat here every day believe me I would but since Bitch has to watch her weight I'll snack there twice a month 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

I've always got a hankering for good fried chicken and this wasn't a disappointment. The chicken was fresh and juicy, hot, and well seasoned. The corn muffin was delicious but a little dry. Wished there was some butter/honey provided. We didn't ask so perhaps they had some and we could have gotten some. The mac and cheese and fries weren't much to speak of, but the BBQ beans were phenomenal! They had a real nice smoky flavor and nice bits of BBQ meats.
Price was more than fair and I'd love to come back and support this nice place. read less

EVERYTHING was wonderful, including the staff (Dawn, Finn and the owner, Art). The chicken is the best! Even the white meat was moist (and if you cook, you know that's a hard thing to accomplish!). All 5 sides we had were fresh and homemade. We had 2 deserts- the sweet potato pie and the Hummingbird pie- homemade and delicious. My only wish is that it was closer. None the less, we will be back and we will bring friends. So nice to find a place with real homemade food and good fair prices. 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

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

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. . . .
