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

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

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

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

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

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. . . .
