Overview
A true Route 66 icon, Dell Rhea’s Chicken Basket has been serving up classic comfort food since the 1940s—earning a well-deserved spot on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. This nostalgic roadhouse is known for its famous hand-breaded fried chicken, crave-worthy sides like baked mac & cheese and spinach dip toast, and its full sit-down restaurant and cocktail lounge.
Once a humble gas station, today it’s a time capsule of Americana where travelers and locals alike come for the food, the history, and the old-school charm. Located right off the original Route 66, it’s a must-stop for anyone seeking an authentic slice of roadside culture.
