Chicken Coop Inc - Wyandotte

A friend suggested I try this chicken so I figured I’d stop in for lunch and try it out. I tried to make casual conversation with an older guy, who I presume was the owner. I told him this was my first time there, thinking he would make suggestions or be welcoming. Instead he said he’s been in that location for x years and do I expect him to roll out the red carpet. Wow, totally not what I expected. I said no, I thought you might provide some insight and he pointed to the menu. OK, so maybe he’s having a bad day. I asked if he tried Chicken Shack and he replied no. I said that’s understandable since you make chicken. I explained that my experience with Chicken Shack was that they prepare their chicken too dry and he nodded. I told him my name and asked him his and he said what, you gonna need my social security number next, I’m the chicken man. Perhaps he has a weird sense of humor. I made my selection, placed my order and he pointed out he only accepted cash. I missed the signs and didn’t have enough cash so I said I gotta hit the ATM. As I was leaving he said there are signs all over stating he only accepted cash and I should go to Chicken Shack. Unbelievable. Clearly he didn’t want my business.

I called just before 1 PM during the busy lunchtime rush to pick up a chicken breast for a light meal. The person on the phone responded, "Are you really asking me to operate a $15,000 machine just for one chicken breast?" Yes, I did expect to be able to order a chicken breast, especially since it's on the menu. If he weren't so difficult—and I could use stronger language—perhaps he would get enough orders to serve local customers looking for a quick lunch away from corporate chains. I cannot recommend this place at all and will not be returning, primarily due to his rude and unfriendly demeanor. His behavior has always been unpleasant, but this time it was exceptionally unprofessional.

Sad to see this business closed. Chicken was WAY BETTER than KFC, Popeyes, and Chicken Shack. Loved ordering big orders for parties. I wish he'd just moved somewhere else to continue buying.

The owner quit. Was going to order some chicken today. Bummer. We sure will miss having your broasted chicken dinners. I had your butterfly/jumbo shrimp once. It was good. Anyways, best of blessings

Guy that runs the shop was friendly and customer service oriented. I hate to say this, but the food just wasn't that good. It wasn't absolutely terrible, but even by fast casual standards it lacked.
