Okay, here's one that I don't think is right on Route 66, but close to it. And, here the fried chicken comes in a po' boy.
MERICHKA'S 604 Theodore Street, Crest Hill, Illinois.
In Crest Hill, near Joliet and a very popular local site. They have been in business since 1933 and are known for their po' boys which also are made with chicken. They are family-owned-and-operated and take great pride in using Chicago USDA and quality hand-cut meats, from the famed chicken to the freshly hand ground hamburger.
Merichka's is incredibly authentic and has an interior of the quintessential supper club, boasting dark rich paneling, red-checkered tablecloths and a generously-sized bar where you can order a libation or two before your meal.
Menu items include great steak and chops, as well as an extensive seafood selection. And, then there is the fan-favorite Garlic Butterine that can be added to just about every item on the menu, enhancing the flavor of nearly any classic dish.
A 6 ounce Poor boy steak costs $13.95 and 6 ounce poor boy chicken $12.55.
Stop in and try some exciting fried chicken at this icon of Old Route 66. They also have a neat old sign.
