It's been a while since I've been here, but they used to have an All You Can Eat Buffet Bar for lunch and they might still. I loved their soups and mashed potatoes the best. It's great comfort food…

If you think the lightly breaded, over greased and tasteless fluff this place serves is good friend chicken then you need to get out more. I ended up in Del Rhea's Chicken Basket today for lunch out of…

After a long day of shopping at Ikea, we needed sustenance. Our driver suggested Dell Rhea's and cheered by the thought of homestyle fried chicken, the rest of us agreed. It was a good choice, not…

Tradition - a classic. A trip down memory lane. Its like a visit back to the days when Rt 66 was popular. This place has been there for as long as I can remember. Consistent food quality over the…

The coating on the chicken is delicious (cornmeal based I believe) and they have musical entertainment for the kiddies sometimes. Great retro atmosphere and delicious food.

Used to be a popular pitstop off Route 66 but now looks like a country diner (lots of country chicken/hen decor!) with the usual regulars. Attached to the restaurant on one end is the "bar" area…

On a recent trip to Chicago my wife and I stumbled across this little slice of artery clogging heaven! We ran in for a quick snack, and ended up sharing the Fried Chicken Dinner platter. The meal…

If you like restaurants frequented by blue-haired ladies and have a penchant for road food and kitsch, this is the place. A friend took me here tonight because it was her grandmother's favorite fried…

The chicken is good...the chicken dumpling soup on the salad bar is even better. I've had better chicken elsewhere but not better soup. My mom loves the kitschy "chicken" decor and it's very kid-…

The BEST fried chicken ever. Small family owned restaurant located on the original Route 66. Opened in 1946. Has cute memorabilia all over the place. But don't go for the atmosphere go for the…

If you ever find yourself at I-55 and IL-83 and you're hungry, pull over and grab some fried chicken at this joint. They've been in business since the original Route 66 rolled by their front door.…

This is not diet food. The food is good and fresh. The biscuits are the best.
