MOST AWESOME fried chicken! Family style comes with plates of sides (pickled beets, cottage cheese, corn fritters, bean salad, french fries, etc.) and a HUGE plate of fried chicken.

There are many other things on the menu, but we love the chicken best.

The restaurant itself is a sight to behold. It had added rooms over the years, and each room is unique in its decor. Lots of antiques to check out. Even a small zoo in the back of the restaurant.

Its only open about March through November, so if you haven't been there, you'll have to wait until spring.
I am not sure why this is a "hidden" restaraunt,as its quite a "tourist" place, but I am always a bit skeptical when a posters one and only post sounds like a commercial. I apologize if I got that wrong - but some people use this forum for free advertising.

Does this one count as "hidden"? The Claddagh in Geneva?

Claddagh is also a chain with locations from the Twin Cities to Pittsburgh. Not to mention the Geneva one is in a pretty conspicuous location sitting right out in front of the Commons for all on Randall to see. I pretty much hate that place -- worst service ever.

Really? The service we had was pretty good, but nothing to write home about. We had a worse experience at Houlihans next door.

Check out Asia Bowl in Grayslake (Center and Atkinson - near the Century 21 and the Post Office). It is a small restaurant with excellent lunch specials.

I also went to one near cincinnati, OH. Claddagh is a chain I think. Have never eaten there, although I know lots of people that like it.

McNally's is closer to us so we go there. They recently closed the McNally's in Elmhurst though. St. charles one is very popular though.

Just thought of another good hidden restaurant "royal buffet" a chinese buffet, in darien/woodridge 75th and Lemont road area. Good buffet with a wide variety of chinese foods that you usually don't see around.
