White Fence Farm

I’m torn. The fried chicken skin is delicious, perfectly light and crispy. The meat itself is nice and juicy BUT it lacks any type of flavor or seasoning. Just a few slight tweaks and this chicken could be awesome!
The fries here are pretty good but the real hit of the meal was the fritters that come with your meal. They are delicious little bites of doughnut heaven. I might consider coming back for the fritters alone.
In addition to my complaints about the food, the service here is pretty bad. We walked in and said hello to the girl at the register and were greeted with silence. When we placed our order, she seemed like she either hated us or her job (not sure which is worse). Bottom line, the chicken has potential but don’t come expecting a warm welcome from the staff.

Love their chicken and corn fritters. The cole slaw is excellent too-​both kinds! Mashed potatoes with chicken gravy is awesome too.

I have been eating at their restaurant for Easter for years. I recently discovered this take out spot conveniently located on my way home from work. The absolute best chicken ever. In comparison to some of those chain restaurants, this chicken is simply perfect. I feel that the prices are very reasonable. The corn fritters are delicious.

Thank you for making my daughters baptism party great ! Getting delicious food from you guys was the easiest part of the planning. The hardest part was hiding the left overs so family didn’t take it home for themselves ! And your corn fritters could be a meal in itself. To the person who helped my niece with all the food to her car thank you ! So happy with the Plainfield location

Chicken, just like mamma makes!

Solid four stars with only one knocked off for the sides. The chicken has a really light flour based texture but they are very filling. I had two pieces of the $ 17 family pack deal and will easily have three more meals. Great value for home made chicken.
The corn fritters I had no idea where just like donuts and corn bread combined. They are great for desert, in the morning, with coffee but not good for the waste line.
The mashed potatoes have a yellow sauce that I am not a fan up but the mash was creamy. Pass on the fries and slaw though.
We have found our fried chicken place in Plainfield.

had dinner there last night. The food is absolutely delicious. The chicken is fabulous… yes it is fried but it is not greasy whatsoever and very lightly breaded. My teenagers who don’t like chicken, ate every last bit. The sides are delicious and will refill as often as requested. The museum’s artifacts kept us entertained for before and after dinner. The place is a treat… I haven’t been here since I was a kid 30 years ago. and its as fun as I remember.
The petting zoo is a blast too :)

The review is not for their food, but for the fact that the service at this location is HORRIBLE. I went to this location to get chicken for my mother’s birthday. Before leaving, we went online to check the menu and prices so we would know what to purchase. Apon arrival, I noticed their online pricing for this location was cheaper by like 15%! I up to the counter to place my order and informed the staff of this discrepancy and expected them to match their advertised pricing no problem.
This is not what happened. The manager stated that his boss, the manager of the Romeoville location told him no he could not match price. Despite this it was what she requested specifically, so I ordered anyway.
I got so stuck on the pricing difference, I didn’t notice that they rung me up for 5 EIGHT piece dinners instead of the 5 FOUR piece dinners I requested. By the time I noticed, I was on the way out the door with 40 PCs of chicken instead of 20 @ a cost of $ 94.00!!! When turned around, and told them that I requested the 4 piece dinners not the 8 piece, he shrugged his shoulders and was like «Not much I can do about it now»
My family has a tradition that we have carried on for years where we eat both Mother’s Day & Easter @ the main restaurant on Joliet Rd, but after this disaster order with NO attempt to aid the situation, I think unless I am reached out to, they may have lost TWO separate dinner parties of 25+ people on two separate holidays. Not to mention the social media outlets I am going to copy and past this exact review on.
It is ridiculous to tell me as your customer, Google won’t update YOUR website… And then tell me you can’t even match your PUBLICLY ADVERTISED PRICING on top of it when I asked for four piece dinners sell me 8 piece ones by saying farm hand pak instead of 8 piece and screw me out of even more money.
For the record, the food was DELICIOUS. It always is. But anyone who reads this should bring the pricing from their website in, and DEMAND they match price.

I was wrong about White Fence Farm. I’ve had their fried chicken several more times, and I like it!
The chicken has that charming, homemade flavor. We always get the meatiest pieces, and I always order too much! The coating is even and crisp. And I love their corn fritters — they tasted like donuts but there’s little bits of corn in them. The fries and other sides are okay, but nothing special. Everything is cooked to order, but I don’t mind waiting a few minutes.
I pick up food from White Fence Farm at least once a year when I’m making chicken & waffles. It’s a great shortcut to battering and frying my own chicken — not gonna happen. It’s a nice addition to the area, which is saturated with fast food and casual chains.
Coincidentally, it’s always Monday when I’m craving WFF. They’re closed on Mondays.
This location is take-​out only.

Best place for chicken in the area… period. Way better than KFC, or Popeyes, or Brown’s or any other place.
This place actually pressure cooks their chicken before frying it and it shows. They also have unbelievable corn fritters and will let you substitute items with their large carryout packs.
Also, the prices are unbelievalbe too. The «Farm Hand Pack» is only $ 17.00 and consists of:
–8 piece of chicken
— Pint of coleslaw (Substituted with mashed potatoes)
–12 corn fritters
— 2 order of fries
Not bad for feeding a family of 3

White Fence Farm has been in business for almost 60 years. Once you eat their chicken you know why. Don’t bother going any where else. The prices are very reasonable. Plainfield location is only for pick up. Going with one of the specials is the way to go.

If this is the best fried chicken around, then Chicago doesn’t know good fried chicken. KFC is mediocre at best, and this is worse. I don’t get it. Greasy and dry?! Flavorless chicken and flavorless, soggy breading. And those corn fritters; they’re bland, sweet donut holes — that ain’t right. Extremely disappointing all around. Total garbage. After eating what we could, just pitched the rest. Based on all the good reviews, perhaps we had a fluke experience. However, I’m not ever willing to try again — it was that nasty.

Ate there several times over the years. It just seems the portions are fattier and smaller now. The quality is just not what it used to be. Still ok for fast chicken I guess.

I don’t like eating inside the restaurant but carrying out is great. They have chicken specials and its always fresh and hot and cooked to order. The carry out section is very clean. The fritters are amzing. The chicken is good and the fried shrimp are great.

Our Chicken, who art off rt. 59, hallowed by thy crust, thy juice will run, on my arm as it is in my mouth, give us this day our daily corn fritter, and forgive us for eating at KFC, Popeye’s, and especially chicken basket, as we forgive those who don’t know what their doing, and lead me continually in temptation, and someday start delivering.
YEAH SUCKAAAAAS! It’s dat good. I’ll rewrite Moby Dick, except I’ll be in search of the biggest chicken for WFF to fry.
It’s simple people. Get a bucket, I prefer all dark meat. White meat is all too often dry (from anywhere) and chewy. Have your favorite hot sauce nearby (Louisiana or franks), a big ol’ bag of corn fritters, a side of slaw (yes, you may need to chill it), and another big ol’ bag fries.
Their chicken is not overly breaded, yet nicely crispy, and very juicy. The frys are excellent, which I was originally unexpected. The corn fritters are awesome, something I’m always looking forward to getting. Their coleslaw has a little extra vinegar and maybe some sugar to balance it all out. Works out perfectly when you’ve got a mouth full of food.
WWF is the best fried chicken we can get out here. Stop delaying, try it, then try it again, then figure out how you can sell your house to live closer. Then start working there. Then open up your own. Then, and only then, is your life complete.

This place has a great light crust on their chicken and it is excellent. They make everything to order, so you’ll probably have to wait for a bit as they make your food.
.and the corn fritters. are Fantastic.

Best. Fried Chicken. Ever. What else do you need to know?
Oh yes — eat. the. fritters.
The End.

I don’t eat chicken, but the little deep-​fried balls of heaven they call corn fritters are divine.

Better than KFC. Better than Popeyes. Their chicken is flash-​fried and totally fresh. It’s also not as salty or greasy as the other chicken joints.
Try the corn fritters. They are extra crunchy with a hint of sweetness.

I’m not really a huge fried chicken fan, at all.
But this place is an exception. It’s so good. My parents always get it for carry out if we’re having people over for dinner or something like that… Their chicken is just really flavorful and the breading is so much better than any other place. It’s good stuff. And their corn fritters — addicting.
