Joliet
NOTE: Restaurant is in ROMEOVILLE, IL not Joliet. As usual, Qype doesn't recognize most US cities smaller than 3 million people.
This place is a total riot. This past Easter I was ripped from my comfortable little Chicago abode to the suburbs for fried chicken. I had seen of this place, heard of it, but never in my life thought I would actually end up here. When you enter in, you realize that yes, this is a barn. There are tons of different rooms/areas that they seat you and it was absolutely mobbed. By the grace of the Fried Chicken gods we got a table right away.
I had no idea what to expect, but when the starters came out I was immediately taken back to my grandma's kitchen - kidney bean salad, slaw, cottage cheese plus some corn-fritter-hush-puppy things that tasted like cornmeal donuts. Then, the chicken came out, mounds and mounds of Fried Chicken. I mean, how anyone could eat this much fried chicken I'm not sure but damn, that was pretty delicious.
Only bark is that yes, it's "nostalgic" but that also can equal to "not updated" and the ashtray in the bathroom and weird stains on the wall were not appetizing - and the carpet has definitely seen better days. Either way, worth a trip to this Midwest staple!
