Concepted and founded by Michael Rosen and Top Chef's Richard Blais in 2015, The Crack Shack crafts both the chicken and the egg for you to enjoy with reckless abandon and the assurance that you're savoring every bite of locally raised, free-living chickens without a care or antibiotic in them--just as they should be. Out of our brave culinary Coop comes everybody's favorite animal that crossed the road, reimagined -- Southern California fried chicken and egg fare in the sunny so-cal spirit of inspired cuisine, spacious ambiance, lawn games and a full bar for any occasion. We are not your average restaurant -- and this is not your average chicken.

My 5 pillars that define a good restaurant:Food (0-10): 7The chicken is good but not amazing. You can definitly feel that is not organic. It is hard to find healthy choices here. The use so much bread in their sandwichs. The bread is so thick. They can't do lettuce wrap sandwishs. They can only no bread sandwichs which are just chicken with no bread.Service (0-10): 8Had a bad experience with the person I ordered from but the other servers see so much nicerCleanness (0-10): 10The place is very clean. Yet the kitchen is not see through so you cant tell what's inside.Aesthetics of the place (0-10): 10The place is so big and nice. Many many tables so you can always find a place even when you are a big group Location (0-10): 10Pasadena is great but it is hard to find a parking. You have to pay and park far

I couldn't love Crack Shack any more. My girlfriend and I frequent the one in Costa Mesa, but we were pleasantly surprised to find one in Pasadena after seeing a movie. It's the best fried chicken around. Service is always great, the place is clean and fun. There's nothing I'd change about it.

Wow. This place is terrific. The atmosphere is casual but classy. The menu is is an interesting mix of Sandwiches, Bowls, and the ever so AMAZING Fried Chicken. Seriously, this is some special chicken. The quality and freshness is almost impossible to find elsewhere. The schmaltz fries were simply delicious. I honestly think they must but real crack in them. Every detail was great, right down the the sauces offered on their condiment bar. I wish there was a location closer to me. Pasadena is about an hour drive but you can bet I will be back often never the less. Don't hesitate, just get in your car and go check it out.
