Fairview Farms Restaurant

If you're into home-style comfort food, give Fairview Farms a try.  They have both family style and individual plate dinners.  Most of our party got the fried chicken, and that seems to be their specialty.

I got the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans.  The grilled chicken was a little bland, but alright.  The mashed potatoes and gravy were amazing.  My husband got the salmon and said it was alright.  If we went back again, I would definitely get the fried chicken instead.  The corn fritters that come at the end of the meal are excellent.  I had never had one before and they taste like funnel cake.

It's definitely an older crowd here and the decor is like an old farmhouse.  I wouldn't necessarily come here on a romantic date but it's good for families.  I recommend making a reservation, as they can get pretty crowded.

I absolutely love this place. They do like you to make reservations in advance because it is home made and, therefore, made to order. The food is to die for. I would recommend to anyone!!

I grew up with this place, living on the next street over.  This is the epitome of family style.  It's a bit drab inside (reminds me of a funeral parlor), but the food is very good and plentiful.  It's not the best food you've ever had, but it's definitely delicious (get extra corn fritters!) and very much comfort food.  You can't argue with unlimited chicken, mashed potatoes, corn fritters, slaw, rolls, etc for the price.  I live in Chicago now but I try to go here at least once a year if possible when I visit family.
