DELL RHEA'S CHICKEN BASKET
645 Joliet Road (I-55 & Route 83)
Willowbrook, Illinois
Fried chicken lovers have been going to this venerable spot since it first opened its doors to Route 66 travelers in the early 1940sThis restaurant is a part of the Route 66 Hall of Fame and has been serving its chicken, cocktails and farmhouse recipes in a traditional supper club setting for more than 60 years.
Originally it was founded as part of a gas station.
Today's fried chicken is made the same way as it was in the heyday of Route 66. And, they have other home-style classics like corn fritters, baby back ribs, homemade mashed potatoes and an all-you-can-eat salad bar.
It is a throw-back restaurant and located just 25 minutes from downtown Chicago.
You can find out why they boast: "Get Your Chicks on Route 66."
They also have a daily lunch buffet for $17.99 (which, of course, includes that chicken stiff).
