- Jason RowleyJune 28, 2015Yes, the fried chicken is incredibly tasty, but I was also pleasantly surprised by their chicken wing appetizers. Not breaded, but still crispy and incredibly flavorful.
- VinnieMay 20, 2019I had the chicken dumpling soup and it was amazing! I also had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was delicious and the waffles were out of this world! This was a great experience.
- Trivia here on Thursdays at 7. We totally thought it was at 8, so remember it is 7. Also the chicken is lightly breaded, and moist which is a great change from heavily breaded.
- Edward A. 🐾 🇵🇷December 21, 2018On the famous Route 66, this is a hall of fame & Historic Society registrar. Named “Best Chicken in Chicago” and featured in Diners Drive-In’s and Dives! A must try!
- chicken tenders are fantastic, the honey bbq is very good too...but honestly darn near everything on the menu is good
- J MaggioApril 22, 2010Found well before Guy Fieri discovered! On historic Route 66, Fried Chicken to die for, Wings are fantastic. I recommend getting drunk in the bar on your birthday! It's become a tradition...

- John CarusoSeptember 16, 2016It's not a fancy place. It's not a trendy place. It's not fusion or fashion. It's just some damn good fried chicken. And I mean REALLY good.
- Thursday night they have 2 tacos for $3. They make it with their chicken and it is delicious. Also there is trivia which is a must do here.
- Serious EatsMay 21, 2013The exterior of the chicken is unusual in that it's more like a breading rather than a crunchy crust, so you'll likely end up with pieces slipping off, but it really does taste like home cooking.
- Maria G.November 26, 2013The fried chicken is handcrafted: moist and not greasy. The lunch buffet is am excellent bargain. And there is a full-service bar w/craft beers.
- John StobFebruary 10, 2014Everybody like what they had. I had the chicken pot pie and it was really good. Figure on splitting everything because the portions are so large.
- Maria G.December 7, 2013Wear stretchy pants if you hit the weekday buffet AND love fried chicken. It contains everything on the chicken dinner plate and then some.
- Jen RocheNovember 9, 2015You've never had fried chicken this good. Get the Mac n cheese, green beans and mashed potatoes.
- Jack RoznerMarch 16, 2018Chicken is great in a retro atmosphere. Sautéed chicken livers are exceptional.
- Chody Nicole ValenzuelaAugust 14, 2015The lunch buffet is a great choice! The chicken wasn't too special in my opinion but the wings are amazing🔥
- Lis SuchardaSeptember 6, 2013Quite yummy! Chicken rules but burger that is half beef half bacon is awesome
- The corn fritters are light, they have RC on fountain, and the Route 66 craft sodas are awesome. The chicken is great too.
- TV Food MapsAugust 26, 2014Check out Dell Rhea's Chicken as seen on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives Read more
- Kimberlee PattonFebruary 18, 2012If you go on a date, don't let them seat you in the tap room. Lots of tvs & crappy music! Fireplace in the dining room.
- Live Team Trivia is on Thursdays at 7pm. Prizes for the top three teams!
- peter griffJuly 5, 2012I reccomend avoiding the lunch buffet...it takes a little longer to restock during peak lunchtime.
- Spencer BrownellOctober 19, 2014Good chicken, but I was hoping for a batter with more flavor and crunch.
- Mark CochraneApril 22, 2012Try the gizzards....they're ridiculously tasty. Do not be scared of the gizzard.
- R Seiji ShinsakoMay 25, 2011Their famous chicken takes 30 min to prepare. Be prepares if you have young ones.
