The Story Behind Lola’s Chicken Shack
Lola’s Chicken Shack is a family-owned establishment. With over three decades in the food industry, they envisioned a place that serves fresh, made-from-scratch meals in a friendly environment. Their commitment to quality is evident in their use of 100% all-natural chicken tenders, marinated in Koji—a fermented rice malt known for enhancing umami flavors. This dedication to authenticity and community has made them a beloved spot in Alameda.
Fresh, Flavorful, Made Just For You
After more than three decades in the food business, we felt that chicken had the potential for a new approach. We start by combining fresh, simple ingredients to create bold and unique flavors. Our premium chicken is 100% all natural tenders with no hormones or antibiotics. Fresh, never frozen, and no pump – (That’s where they inject the chicken with water, salt, and other unpronounceable things to make it cheaper).
What Sets Us Apart
We stand out due to our unwavering commitment to quality and innovation. Our use of Koji in marinating chicken not only tenderizes the meat but also imparts a unique umami flavor, setting them apart from typical fast-food joints. Our extensive range of over 18 house-made sauces offers customers a diverse flavor choice. The emphasis on fresh, never-frozen ingredients, combined with a family-friendly atmosphere, reinforces their position as a premium yet approachable dining destination.
Rooted in Community
We have always had a strong sense of family, friends, and community, and love to entertain. We want everyone who comes to Lola’s to feel welcomed and comfortable. Hope to see you soon!
