Crandall's Restaurant

Located in the heart of Hebron, Illinois, Crandall's Restaurant is a beloved destination for fans of classic American comfort food, with a particular emphasis on their world-famous broasted chicken. This charming eatery offers a warm, supper-club ambiance that invites guests to relax and savor hearty meals made with care and tradition.

Crandall’s shines brightest with its signature broasted chicken, renowned across the region for its irresistibly crispy exterior and juicy, tender meat inside. Whether you opt for the "All You Can Eat Chicken and Fish" specials or their popular Broasted Chicken Dinner, dining here is a celebration of familiar, satisfying flavors done to perfection. The generously portioned plates, often delivered steaming hot on large trays, make every bite a delight — as Rebecca Kaatz describes, the breast meat is "juicy and flavorful," showcasing the kitchen’s expert preparation.

Beyond the star chicken dishes, the menu is a treasure trove of American favorites. From prime rib and rib dinners to classic fried fish, liver & onions, and a variety of hearty sandwiches like the Ruben and chicken sandwich, there is something for every palate. The variety extends to their children’s menu, making it a perfect spot for family dining with options such as chicken tenders, cheeseburgers, and "All You Can Eat Broasted Chicken" for younger guests.

One can’t overlook the brilliant Sunday Brunch offering, featuring fresh cinnamon rolls and chef salads that perfectly balance indulgence and freshness. The dessert display is equally tempting, boasting decadent choices like banana cream pie, chocolate cake slice, carrot cake, and the ever-classic lemon meringue pie. Jackie’s comment about the basket of warm dinner rolls being “reason enough to give Crandall’s a try” truly captures the comforting, home-style hospitality permeating every meal.

Crandall’s also accommodates guests who want to enjoy their meals at home with an express To-Go menu that includes broasted chicken by the piece, fish fry combinations, and all-white meat options, making it convenient to indulge in their signature flavors anytime.

More than the food, it’s the entire experience that keeps visitors returning. Friendly, attentive staff consistently enhance the visit, ensuring orders — even large ones like that of Rebecca’s party of eight — arrive just as requested and promptly. Marianne Nyberg puts it best: “So worth the drive for the best broasted chicken in Illinois,” and with Hebron's proximity to Lake Geneva, the meal makes a perfect start or finish to a day of shopping and exploration.

At an excellent value—Victoria Brown highlights the reasonable pricing at $15.99 for chicken or fish and $19.99 for chicken and fish combo—Crandall’s Restaurant offers more than just a meal; it delivers a welcoming experience rooted in good food, generous portions, and genuine Midwestern charm. Whether you’re in for a casual dinner, a special Sunday brunch, or a family outing, Crandall’s promises delicious memories with every visit.
