Nine years of cluckin’ good times calls for a proper party—and we’re doing it all weekend long. From February 13–15, Crack Shack Encinitas is celebrating our 9th anniversary with throwback flavors, festive vibes, and a few sweet surprises we know you’re going to love.
Whether you’ve been with us since day one or you’re a longtime fan of fried chicken done right, this is a weekend you won’t want to miss.
A Fan Favorite Returns (For One Weekend Only)

It wouldn’t be a birthday celebration without a little nostalgia. For our anniversary weekend, the legendary Matzo Ball Posole is making its highly requested comeback. Cozy, comforting, and packed with flavor—this cult favorite will be available for the weekend only, so get it while you can.
Sweet Birthday Treats for the Kids

We’re sharing the birthday love with our youngest guests. Kids under 9 will receive a birthday cake cookie ice cream sandwich—on us. It’s colorful, fun, and the perfect way to celebrate nine years of Shack goodness.
Valentine’s Vibes & Photo Ops
With Valentine’s Day landing right in the middle of the celebration, expect the Shack to be dressed to impress. Enjoy Valentine’s-inspired décor and photo-worthy moments throughout the space—perfect for snapping pics with your favorite people (and your favorite chicken).
Raffle Prizes & Extra Fun
What’s a party without a little chance to win? Throughout the weekend, guests can enter for raffle prizes, adding an extra layer of excitement to the celebration.
Harland Brewery Specials & Tastings
To keep the good times flowing, we’re teaming up with Harland Brewery for specials and tastings during the anniversary weekend. Great beer, great food, and great company—it doesn’t get much better than that.
And More Surprises…
That’s just the start. Expect great energy, familiar flavors, and a few surprises along the way as we toast to nine amazing years in Encinitas.
Mark your calendar for February 13–15, bring your friends and family, and come celebrate with us. We can’t wait to party with you.
Cheers to 9 years.
