For over a quarter of a century, this eight-room Lakewood institution has fattened its wallet by selling enough fried chicken dinners and gift shop poultry knickknacks to never have to bet the farm. While steak, pork shops, turkey, and deep-fried shrimp grace the menu, over 80 percent of the restaurant's diners order chicken -- this place is all about the cluck. There are nine chicken dinners from which to choose, all served with mediocre side dishes, with the exception of the highly addictive sweet corn fritters. While food plays a part here, it's the petting zoo, peacocks, playground, arcade, stores, American Barn hocking fudge, and live entertainment -- which runs the gamut from bluegrass to square dance -- that necessitates the long waits. Reservations are only taken for groups of 15 and more, which means getting a seat is at a premium during peak dining hours.
