Ravanelli's Restaurant

Ravanelli's is quite possibly one of the best places for fried chicken, however thats not all they serve. You can get almost anything here from a quick burger/sandwich to pasta, and even a steak. Anytime I stop by I usually get the chicken dinner and usually have left overs. The chicken is crispy but not greasy, and has a great flavor. I also have to get the Tortellini Soup, this stuff is amazing and always a on my order.

The atmosphere pretty basic and simple, family friendly and on special events they open up a buffet which allows you to sample a variety of their dishes. They do not skip out on the quality with the buffer, this is the same quality food that you order right off the menu. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.

The Collinsville location is actually the 2nd location to open, with the original being located in Granite City and the newest location in Fairview Heights/O'Fallon. I have tried all three and the quality is consistent across the board.

I have to agree with some other reviews regarding eating there and carry outs.  If you eat there the food is excellent, service is good, and they get your order right, but when it comes to carryout typically there is something wrong with the order, either you are missing something like bread, or a salad or even a whole meal.  

We visited and ate dinner there on a Friday night back in February 2013 and we received excellent service.  Our waitress was awesome, she was super friendly and took really good care of us.

I would recommend visiting, but if you do carryout make sure you check the order very carefully before driving off, because 99% the order is missing something and you will need to go back in and get the missing item.

Absolutely LOVE this place! Great food! We get the family carry out special at least once a week!
