We don’t mean to CROW but We Know Our Chicken
I found mention of Cliff Chicken Shack as
early as August 1936, which means it may have pre-dated the more
well-known Leslie’s Chicken Shack by several years. It may have been the
first drive-in fried chicken joint in Oak Cliff. In 1942 the proprietor
was listed as J.B. Cohen (or J.R. Cohen). By 1951, the Shack was out of
business, and the building at 519 W. Davis (at the northeast corner at
Llewellyn) had become Laden’s Food Market. The location was by turns a
wholesale sandwich company, hardware store, carpet company, and an auto
paint & body shop. In 2009 the unlucky site was home to Honduras Tire
Shop.
