Since opening our doors in 1956, we’ve remained proudly family-owned and operated. Our recipes have stood the test of time, passed down through generations without cutting corners. We believe great food takes care—and it shows in everything we do. Our chicken is delivered fresh and made to order. Our potatoes are hand-cut by trained team members. And with open kitchens front and center, you can see your meal being prepared from start to finish. From our award-winning chicken to our fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs, every bite is cooked with care.

Verdict

The call

Chicken Shack and Middle Eats Co both sit at 3.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of Middle Eats Co's written reviews are positive against 33% of Chicken Shack's. Middle Eats Co also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). Chicken Shack's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
