I visited on Friday, May 16th. I saw your business on my way to see a doctor in Peoria. I planned to stop on my way back to Princeton. I thought I passed it and I was so disappointed, but then I saw your sign and did a quick U-turn. Let me say this, Popeye's, KFC, and the like do no have anything on Rick's Crispy Chicken!
First, these folks were so friendly! I was given a menu so I could sit down and take my time. After mulling over the menu, I asked if I could have half breast and half thighs for the 8 piece meal. Some places won't allow it, but Rick sure did. He also gave me the soda on the house because it would take 10 minutes to cook as they just opened, and told me he would be happy to refill, just let him know.
Well, upon receiving my food, the lady explained she put the coleslaw in a separate bag so it wouldn't get hot. So thoughtful! She also offered to help me to my car because I use a cane. That's care!
I had about a 50 minute drive before I would be home. The chicken was still hot! And boy, I was happy with everything! The baked beans, coleslaw, biscuits and chicken were fantastic! The serving sizes were plenty, and the size of the chicken pieces were big! It wasn't just a bunch of breading, it was actually chicken! Haha! Everything was so tasty! Perfectly!
Their prices are a bit under what Popeye's charges. For the value of what you you get, plus the amazing service, it is so worth it.
I will definitely be coming back, long drive and all. I have been bragging about you guys to all of my neighbors. I can't wait for the next visit!
Excellent place for your chicken needs! 😁

We ordered 44 pcs. for a family gathering. Excellent service, price, and product. Very good breading and cooked perfectly. I grew up in Peoria, but live in Nebraska. Next time I come home, I’m getting a Gondola, a Monical’s pizza, and some Rick’s Crispy Chicken.

So. This place was recomended to me and I happen to come a cross an article about this place being the best fried chicken. It's all a lie. Way over priced for the quality. The chicken is bland AF, and smells like the oil it was cooked in, Old and dirty. The fries are half cooked and unsalted. Their version Of popcorn chicken is just a tender cut up for a child. The mac n cheese ?. The biscuits are Identical to the frozen pilbury biscuits. Eating there was like throwing $50 in the trash.

we went today to give a local business a try. I thought the chicken was very good. UNFORTUNATELY our entire order was messed up. we ordered a 2 piece dinner and a 3 piece dinner both with mashed potatoes and gravy and 1 with beans and 1 with Mac and cheese. also a side of fritters. when we got home my dinner only had 2 pieces instead of 3. furthermore we got 2 sides of Cole slaw instead of beans and Mac. No gravy for mashed and NO FRITTERS. Called store and no answer and voicemail was full. not again

I’ve heard about this place and finally tried it out. I can’t tell you how delicious this chicken is! KFC, Popeyes, forget it - I’ll never go back there! This is the place to get your fried chicken! It so exceeded my expectations and will definitely be back. Loved the chicken, mashed potatoes and biscuits- out of this world! And the woman that waited on me was so pleasant! Thanks Rick’s, I’ll be back!

Absolutely wonderful. Real food cooked to order. Not fast food, your patience pays off. Large chicken pieces, VERY crispy crust, they are not kidding.
