We got whatever their original basic chicken sandwich is and a loaded fry. The fries were phenomenal and lowkey more worth the price than the sandwich. They were very shareable and loaded up with meat. The sandwich was good. I think because it was very hot and very fresh it tasted better than it actually is. The cool think about this place is they have a sauce bar with all these super good sauces and you can just have as much as you like. I use so much ranch so not paying for extra sauce is needed for me to have a good time at a restaurant. It is expensive, but I say it was worth it. I am so mad the Crack Shack in my home town closed. They also have a gluten free breaded sandwich which is cool cuz a lot of chicken places just make you get the grilled if you are gluten free so that is cool. My gluten free friend said it was really good.
