Fresno’s newest Chicken Shack restaurant is opening. Here’s everything you need to know
The Chicken Shack, the swift-growing Valley restaurant specializing in chicken wings and fingers, is opening its newest location.
This one is in northwest Fresno, in the Marketplace at El Paseo, the shopping center near Highway 99 and Herndon avenues. It’s in the former Dickey’s Barbecue Pit spot in one of the outbuildings in the same building as Menchie’s. (Dickey’s moved across Herndon Avenue, inside a new gas station.)
It opens Tuesday, Dec. 14.
It has the same menu as the other Chicken Shack locations in town. In addition to its standard wing and chicken finger combos served with shoestring fries, the menu also features burgers, sandwiches, salads, and wraps.
The restaurant has more than 30 sauces.
New this time around? Shack Bites, which are kid-sized chicken fingers.
Chicken Shack now has restaurants on north Blackstone Avenue, downtown Fresno, Sierra Vista Mall in Clovis, Selma, Hanford, and Merced, with more on the way.
If it seems like Chicken Shack, which started in Hanford, is opening a lot of locations lately, that’s because it is.
The owner of the original restaurant is now franchising the concept, with franchise owners opening many of the new locations.
Bob Sidhu is the franchise owner of the northwest Fresno location. The restaurant is also on DoorDash and Grubhub.
Details: The Chicken Shack is at 6611 N. Riverside Drive, suite 106. Hours: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. 559-274-9632.
