At first the smell engulfs your senses, then your greeted by a very nice gentleman knowledgeable of his craft. Like any true perfectionist their menu is small but worthy of its size. We ordered and while waiting a free sample thigh was brought out to us. I was mesmerized with the first bite, seasoned to perfection, juicy beyond compare, and not overly breaded like some other places that I won't name. Once I ate my breast and wing I knew I was hooked for life. I honestly believe that these were the finest pieces of chicken I've ever ate. I've tried chicken from Paula Deen's in Savannah, broasted, fried, baked, grilled and smoked. This is the winner by far, hands down! 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

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

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

Amazing fried chicken. We asked for an all dark meat family dinner...oh man...freshly cooked...and never been sitting under the hot lamp. Very attentive host. Potato salad and coleslaw both were great...specially the house special potato salad.
The walls were covered in blues memorabilia..and the one tv was playing blues music.
The decor was very homely and inviting...a job well done. We were passing through town on our way to Chicago and I must say this place could not be beaten by anything short of the Nashville hot fried chicken!! read less

We found this place about 5 miles off the PA turnpike and had a great lunch! Nothing complex about the menu, but that didn't matter - the chicken was cooked perfectly and the coating was very light and delicious. The selection of sides was great at tasted great. The restaurant felt like I was in someone's home - the atmosphere was also good. Highly recommend to locals and travelers alike. read less

Go eat there and you will feel like you just had a home cooked meal at someones house. The chicken is crispy, juicy and seasoned to perfection. The sides are so good you will dig through the bottom of your styrofoam container trying to get more. The desserts are great too with my favorite being the sweet potato pie. If you are in the area you can't pass it up. I have learned that it is better to call your order in 15 minutes before you will arrive so that it is ready right when you walk in the door. Everything is cooked to order there. read less

I gave the chicken waffle bites a try on my first visit. Was not disappointed. Quit going to KFC and come support this local business. The cornbread muffins taste homemade. Throw some butter on it and it's perfect. The mac and cheese is fantastic is mildly addicting. The staff is super friendly and they really appreciate it when you call ahead so your chicken gets the right amount of time to cook without any rush. Stop by and check them out. 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

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

Our Story
Believe it or not, Pennsylvania and Mississippi have something special in common when you visit Beaver Falls. It’s here that we opened. MS Chicken Shack with comforting recipes that bring this connection to life. For one, we have all the welcoming charm that the South is known for.
We’re also a popular spot for our community to gather and make connections.
But above all, we’re a chicken joint known for our flavorful breading, our large portions, and a musically-inspired menu that puts the soul in soul food.
With food this delicious and an atmosphere this cool, it’s no wonder Beaver Falls gets their chicken from the shack.
Let Us Cater your next event!

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. . . .
