Hungry for a good, old-fashioned chicken dinner? Maybe with a side of fluffy mashed potatoes topped with gravy? Or, a hearty helping of green beans and creamy mac and cheese? Whatever your favorite sides, you’ll find they go perfectly with the crispy broasted chicken, available in platters, in buckets, and by the piece, at this old school restaurant in Pennsylvania.
Treat yourself to a blast from the past - and perhaps one of the best chicken dinners around - when you visit Speck's Broasted Chicken, a classic drive-in restaurant, in Collegeville.
A neighborhood institution, the family owned and run drive-in restaurant first opened in 1953, promising a delicious meal for those who want to dine in and for those on the go.
Not much has changed since the restaurant's early days. In fact, the decor might even remind you of visits to local family-owned restaurants when you were growing up.
Speck's boasts a variety of broasted chicken dinners, including the four piece or the breast dinner, both of which come with fries, a roll, and a side like green beans or creamy coleslaw.
Or, if you're all about the chicken, order a bucket - available with four up to 100 pieces. Pair your broasted chicken with such scrumptious sides as potato salad, baked beans, or mashed potatoes with gravy.
Dig into a scrumptious chicken dinner at Speck's, open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.
