Reviews for Dell Rhea's Chicken Basket in Willowbrook, IL
Route 66 eatery that has survived the years. Great atmosphere and all the imagery from the heydays. Chicken is old school, not... much in flavor but moist. To me it is akin to shake n bake. Corn fritters appetizer are like little funnel cakes. Fun to travelback in time a little bit. Hope they keep on keeping on. Read more
This is a nice place to stop to see Route 66 memorabilia and take some pictures. As far as the food; I had the chicken and corn... fritters, it's ok. The staff is friendly. I ordered a carryout. Took about an hour. Read more
It was great. The place is on old historic Route 66, so if you ever eat here, you can check off the "eat in a diner on Route 66"... task right now. The service was friendly and courteous. I can only recommend everyone to try the local IPA once. It tastesgreat and has a nice fruity but hoppy flavor. Eaten was a Famous Chicken Basket with Cole Slaw and Fries. Both were verygood. For me as a German who accidentally passed by here, it was a real experience. Many thanks for that. Read more
I heard so many great stories about this place and I was pleased with the overall experience. I called ahead and placed an order... for the chicken basket. When I arrived, was greeted warmly and my food was ready. The fried chicken was juicy and crunchy. Frieswere cold and soggy, cold slaw was runny. The chicken was great but sides were underwhelming Read more
Cool place with lots of fun chicken decorations! I got the chicken pot pie and it was by far the best chicken pot pie I've had... in my life! The iced tea was really good too! The wings were also phenomenal!! Read more
We randomly got off the highway and followed the signs to this place and it was so cool! It looks super retro and historic... outside and inside it is filled with chicken statuettes of all kinds, has a fireplace and red checkered table cloths. The foodso good. I got the chicken and waffles but was fascinated that they don?t just serve fried chicken they serve all kinds ofchicken. Like chicken parm, chicken soup, etc. the food was really high quality and was also served really quickly. Withfresh hot biscuits coming out first. The wait staff was not young and hip like most restaurants with cool food, it was justregular women who encourage you to order dessert type of deal. Such a good experience!!! Read more
Chicken is very good and you can tell they use quality/healthy chicken. Love the ambiance of the restaurant and the service was... great and our server was Celia who was so welcoming! Will definitely continue to support this business. Read more
Lucky someone recommended me this place! I ordered the tenders and the 1/2 fried chicken with fries and coleslaw, loved the... tenders, they were juicy and the flavor was perfect! The chicken is superior to most fried chicken you can get in the area, thebiscuits were perfection. The fries and coleslaw were good too! The staff is friendly and I loved the vibes of the dining room,it feels like you are eating in a southern home from a movie, staff is friendly, will be coming back soon! Read more
