Toms Chicken Shack - (Near Bartow, FL)

5 /5 Johnathan Jester: Lots of activity in front of Toms Chicken Shack today! If you are this close you better go get some of that Amazing Chicken! Toms is an institution here in Bartow and cant be missed.

5 /5 Kent Grossi: This place is absolutely BANGING! banging. Take that to the bank. I cannot tell you enough how Josiah and his team take 7minutes (they got a system) to make the best chicken sandwich I’ve had in my life. I’m a country boy and I eat. The combination of speed and taste here makes this gem hidden in the middle of nowhere off highway 17 a mandatory stop. Chicken sandwich 10/10 Coleslaw 7.8/10

1 /5 Daisy Mae: AVOID THIS PLACE!!** There are too many things wrong here. Ill start by saying theres no reason on earth a restaurant thats open until 9pm should have the dining area closed to guests at 730pm. Also, the food was already cooked, which explains why everything was questionably dry but oily at the same time. DO NOT expect fresh food here. Now, considering the ridiculous prices, I was filled with even more disappointment and flat-out regret when I arrived home with our food. It was legitimately just disgusting. Ive literally eaten school food that was far superior to that overpriced junk. Please save your money and use it elsewhere!! I WANT A REFUND!!

5 /5 Landon Veatch: I am 42 years old, and a FL native, spending a great deal of time in GA and the Carolinas as a young. When I travel, I look for 3 things: 1. Fried Chicken (not counting wings; gimme dark meat or a well fried breast please and thank you) 2. Shrimp n Grits 3. Biscuits n gravy I am in no way suggesting Ive tried all the fried chicken in the South (I hope to accomplish this one day). But...DAMN these dudes at Toms can COOK SOME CHICKEN!!! My biggest complaint is that I have to drive 90min to get it, which I (hand to god) seriously consider EVERY WEEKEND. Only reason I left 4 stars for atmosphere is because there was no shade on the patio (gotta let yall know somehow, right?). Otherwise, in my experience, which encompasses no less than 120 fried chicken spots, you all got something special. Much love, and I want to talk franchise or somethin cause this needs to be in my city.
