At Rocky’s Hot Chicken Shack, we pay homage to Nashville style hot chicken and southern soul food. We prepare our unique fried chicken to order and it all starts as Plain. From there we can add the spice from mild to XX hot (lots of folks just love it without the spice).
We take pride in being one of the Carolina’s locally owned, independent restaurants. Voted Mountain Xpress Best Fried Chicken 7 years in a row!
Counter-serve outfit dishing up Tennessee-style hot chicken in casual surroundings. Based on 3 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.7 stars. Price $$

Stopped here while on vacation in Arden. A few people recommended this place, so we had to check it out. Well, the food is truly amazing!!

The food was good as always. The portion sizes are usually pretty big which is nice. It’s a little expensive getting a meal but it is good food. The outside seating was pretty nice except for the flies which came out pretty quick. It really is a nice location and if you like Rocky’s it’s likely quicker to go to this one since it’s less packed than the one on Smokey Park. Thanks Rockys staff!

Heard they had some “hot” wings. I get let down alot with places that claim they have “hot” wings only to find they are mild at best. Well not this place… their spiciest wings, which I later found out is actually a rub, whooped my @$$! I could only eat 2… well done! Great food! Mashed potatoes were amazing also! Great beer! When they say HOT…. they mean HOT!

Went on Fish Friday, yes they have fish on Friday. Some of the best Fish and Chips I’ve had. The homemade Tarter Sauce was amazing as well, I think I dipped everything I had in it. We ate at around 3 pm so there was plenty of seating on a Friday, lunch and dinner is a different story so plan ahead and expect a line to order, seating is never a problem. The meals ordered were Chicken and Waffles, a small Fried Pickles, and A Pot Pie that measured 8″ across, no kidding.

Delicious chicken on the bone. The drumstick is NOT a meager size. Mild spicy was good and slightly better than the mild honey in my opinion.

Recently, while visiting from Atlanta, we stumbled upon Rocky’s Hot Chicken Shack in Hendersonville, NC, and it turned out to be a serendipitous discovery of the finest caliber. This establishment isn’t just a chicken joint; it’s a culinary haven that serves up some of the most tantalizing chicken dishes I’ve ever had the pleasure of savoring.

First off, very cool place to eat and I am glad that I visited! It has a very relaxed environment and service was excellent. Had a line out of the door when I arrived in the afternoon (~15 min wait). If you’re not a local, use the time to look at the menu while you wait.

This place is fantastic! A coworker brought me here for lunch and warned me about the different levels of spice. I decided to go with the medium and it was the perfect level. Everything was so good. Pictured is the three piece wing plate with collards and a homemade biscuit. The chicken was so crispy and delicious. The collards were amazing and the biscuit melted in my mouth. This place fills up quickly, so get there early. Definitely coming back for future visits.

Wow! Really impressed with this place. The staff was so friendly and walked us through all the spice levels. She was patient with me and my young one. Very accommodating. The food was all very good. I fell in love with the Zippy Ranch. Perfect amount of flavor and spice. I got the Rocky’s Hot and it wasn’t too spicy for me. Great balance and the heat mainly comes from dry spices. Overall, very good!
