The food here is delicious! The Sunday brunch is wonderful. A great mix of breakfast and lunch with a beautiful selection of desserts. Eggs Benedict, roast beef, broasted chicken, mashed potatoes, biscuits and gravy, French toast, deviled eggs, Alfredo pasta, bacon, sausage, lox, bagels, fruit, pies, cakes, muffins... the list goes on.. would have given 5 stars but I was treated very rudely by a waitress. Definitely ruined my experience. read more

Very large dessert table but not a very good selection of breakfast brunch items for the price. Waitress visited table only twice and they automatically added a 25% tip to the bill for three seniors. read more

Come hungry!! Crandalls has all you can eat fish fry and broasted chicken and it's worth the trek out here. For starters, they serve warm buns and cinnamon rolls with butter before the food comes out! With the broasted chicken or fish you can choose from a choice of French fries, potato pancake, mashed potatoes and also get a small side of coleslaw. For your first order, they bring out a set amount of pieces of both fish and chicken. For your next orders, you have to specify how many pieces of each you would like (and which parts of the chicken you want). Overall, the fish and chicken are well made and have a great crunchy exterior! read more

Crandalls - Fish fry with potato pancake and Cole slaw - American Near Me - Hebron, Illinois

Great food, service and atmosphere. Waitress are always friendly, the owner will come to your table to make sure you're happy. They even get produce locally. The all you can eat broasted chicken is definitely one of the best. You can't go wrong with cheese and crackers and the chocolate cake is huge! This place is a little out of the way but worth the trip. We will stop here every time we are in the area. Things to keep in mind. They get busy so you may have to wait. Both times we have been we have not had to wait for longer than ten minutes. Food is not quick to come out, so don't be in a hurry. But I think it's worth the wait. Hope you enjoy! read more

Absolutely fantastic fish fry all you can eat every Friday night. Old fashion supper club atmosphere for the entire family. This place gets my highest recommendation. Food is wonderful. read more

Very good food there,and awesome brunch on Sundays,well worth your money and very friendly staff. And very nice cozy family restaurant.

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Unless if you want mediocre food, horrible service, rude owner. As far as the service, I literally had to get up and go to the bar to have my soda refilled TWICE. and they were not busy at all to warrant me having to get my own soda. They rave about their chicken, Jewel has better fried chicken than they do. read more

Went there tonight for the all-you-can-eat chicken, which also includes mashed potato, cole slaw and rolls (~ $17). The quality and taste of the chicken was excellent...could only handle 1.5 plates as first serving was generous. We also purchased two slices of french silk pie for the road - which was also very good. The service was great - and cost was only ~ $60 for all that delicious food. Highly recommended. read more

Twenty minutes after our reservation for a table of 7. Another 20 minutes for drink order....we immediately ordered our food. Now waiting for our food order to arrive. 45 minutes for our food order 3 tables of 4 people sat down 15 minutes after us and are happily eating their food. Don't get me wrong.... a couple of other waitresses are running around.... We have one that appears to not care. read more

This is the best gosh darn fried chicken I've ever had!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your satisfaction is garunteed. 14$ for unlimited fried chicken!!!! Cassandra was our waitress. she made it a very memorable experience read more

Good service. Food iffy rolls hard as rocks and chicken pot pie had raw green pepper in it. Wife's chicken dinner was ok. Mash potatoes were cold. We were tired so just at and left. This meal was not the usual Crandall's quality. Usually good food and good service. read more

Stopped by for lunch with my family after visiting the Von Bergen Farm Sunflower festival. Pretty much met my expectations, food is reasonably priced and good tasting. read more

This place has a homey kind of feel to it and the inside looks like a farmhouse. The lights are somewhat dim and once evening comes they light some nice candles at your table which really adds to the experience. Our server was amazing. She was really attentive and kind to us. The other servers were also very kind and energetic; they really hyped you up to try new things. When we were seated at our table the server provided us with a bread basket that had two sweet, cinnamon roll-like breads and two plain rolls. We got the Wisconsin cheese curds for our appetizer and they were delicious. The curds are served in a basket and come with a hearty amount. For our dinner we got a chicken Parmesan which my partner stated was the one of the best he'd had due to the fresh taste of the ingredients. The chicken pot pie was amazing and those mashed potatoes were de-licious. It had to be the best pot pie I've ever had (even though this was my first time). The pie was backed to a perfect crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. We both got broccoli cheddar soups with our meals which were really good. Despite the wait time for our food being longer than we expected, the meal was worth it. All the ingredients taste fresh and that really adds the quality of the food. Overall I recommend this place. The food is great and the portion sizes are even greater so make sure you come hungry. read more

This is a chicken place but on Fridays they have fish. I ate 6 pieces and it is good; not the best I ever had (I am not wild about their breading) but good. The meal was really a good deal and when we left we were so full. Friday's are crazy busy but they really get you seated fast. The waitress we had was stellar, for all of the people she was serving I didn't feel neglected. All said and done, when I go next time, and there will be a next time, I plan to get the chicken. read more

Loved this place. Great nostalgic type supper club with terrific atmosphere and great food.

Went for Sunday brunch buffet. $21.95. Enjoyed everything. Good selection. Husband had chicken and ribs and loved it. Had sausage and bacon and French toast. Good desserts too. Only negative was my son said gravy for biscuits was tasteless read more

I've been wanting to go to this place for years! I finally made it out, and it was everything everybody that's been here had said. PHENOMENAL!!! Older establishment , but maintained great, exceptional service and the Broasted chicken to make you want to return every Saturday evening! Homemade mashed potatoes and coleslaw to go along with it( they were great too!)look forward to returning to Crandalls again and again!! read more

Excellent food and service. A great place to eat any day of the week. Old and cozy and very welcoming with great service and food.

Great broasted chicken. The all you can get is a great deal, come hungry. Slaw is good and mashed potatoes are solid. Cinnamon rolls and bread to start. One of the best spots around just takes time. read more

If 1950 broasted chicken is your thing(it is mine) this is THE place. I love this place.

Friday night with snow on the way, the parking lot is full and there is a line out the door. People are actually waiting outside in 33 degree weather for fish and chicken. And pie. And giant carrot cake. And a strong list of local beers and even more local flavor. Call ahead for carry out for the friendliest help in the state. Seriously. Come with family and friends, expect good conversation and slicked up fingers before you head home. With carrot cake in tow. Because you need a dang trailer to get it home. read more

Crandalls has been my broasted chicken fix for years. Broasting just adds a flavor that I really like. We like their 2 piece $9.95 value meal that they offer in the restaurant till 2pm. I think it reasonably priced for 2 pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes, Cole slaw and bread. We usually get a breast and wing- which are on the small side, but still a value. They have a wonderful outside garden area and picnic benches in the front but, due to licensing issues, cannot allow people to eat there. On Wednesday, we stopped for our usual meal and enjoyed it until the check arrived. They had increased the price by $2. There was no mention of the increase and, since this is a special meal, it is not noted in the menu. So, no way to know until the bill. We also got a credit card surcharge on the bill. Again, no warning when handed the check, but it magically appeared when I paid. I talked to the manager about it and got nowhere. My issues: 1- They should be letting people know of the price change when they order. 2- There should be a note on the bill that says there will be a surcharge for credit cards. 3- For that price I would expect larger pieces of chicken. I have eaten other places with broasted chicken that are much better. One place offers a half chicken for $15.99 and give corn on the cob, mashed potatoes with gravy, Cole slaw and a freshly baked roll of bread. Oh, and a salad. We usually split the meal. I think Crandalls has new management and they seem to be going in the wrong direction for customers. Probably not going back, read more

The Broasted chicken is just phenomenal!!! Just a real home style restaurant. We went for the first time on a Sunday evening and the owner sat with us and told us her whole history in the business. Will definitely go back to try other food!!!! Reminds me of going to White Fence Farm when I was a kid, but better!!! read more

The last TWO times we have dined here, we were charged the wrong amounts on our credit card bill. Of course, the charge posted in both visits was for more than what our bill totaled. WE WILL NOT BE DINING HERE AGAIN. read more

One of our spots for I don't know where do you want to go places. Food is constant and service always very good. The real surprise is Sunday brunch. Just love the little of everything and always fresh. The sweets table is awsom. read more

Easily the best broasted chicken in Hebron. The waitress was an angel. Something about the Mug root beer made the hour we were at Crandalls feel like 10 mins. All in all it ended too soon. Pro tip, ask if they have shirts in stock. They are $12 and feel like the finest Egyptian cotton. I appreciated they set very clear expectations around taking leftovers for all-you-eat. read more

Food was not good, I ordered a cheese burger and the bun may have been stale. It was very over cooked and I did not like this restaurant.

My husband and I went for dinner tonight, he had the chicken which was really tuff and dry. I thought I was safe getting a chicken Caesar salad (which I did not notice on the menu that it had mushrooms) 1/4 of it was mushrooms. The service was terrible, never came to the table to see if everything was ok, had to track her down when my husband wanted more chicken. We couldn't make out her name at the top of the check, but we think it might of been Shelia or Shelly? We have been there before and have been very pleased, it will be a long time before we return if ever read more

seated in a corner, waited 10 minutes to be greeted by or offered water by staff. why? at 3 in the afternoon they were having a kaffe klasch in another room. finally, I had to go find someone to wait on us. food was good service lacked. promised drink refills that never came. waited 10+ minutes to pay our bill shame on you Crandalls. read more

Oh my goodness! What a treasure'. We didn't start out going to a Crandallls but our restaurant was closed so we ended up here. Yay for that! Great food, great service and lots of unlimited if that is your thing! Will definetely be back!!!! read more

Location / Atmosphere - An excellent option if you're looking for a dining experience with great food. Very clean and well managed. We have heard wonderful things about and felt that Crandall's is an excellent dining option in northern IL. Food / Beverage - A very nice menu of items that you might find at a 'supper club'. Being a Friday, we were looking for a 'fish fry' and Crandall's is the place. Both my wife and I had the 'fish fry' with 'potato pancakes' on the side. The fish was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The potato pancakes were a very nice side. Service - Very pleasant wait staff on such a busy night. Our server did a great job. Our wait was quite short given how busy the restaurant was. Certainly, a well-managed restaurant as there was plenty of staff on hand. And it's always nice to be served by people who don't mind being at work and have a positive attitude. In summary - A very nice place. We do plan to return and try other items from the menu as well as their Sunday Brunch. read more

Make sure you make a reservation for Father's Day was the first person in line only to be told I had to wait until everyone that had a reservation was seated mind you this place is huge. Then the food was horrible the eggs benidic where over cooked so was more like a hard boiled egg the world famous chicken was cold and tasted like it was from yesterday. The one good thing is that I know where I WONT ever be going is to this "Dumb" I wouldn't eat here again if it was free again doesn't matter if it's Father's Day or just a regular Wednesday read more

Some the best chicken I've ever had. Loved the restaurant decor- very charming. Wait staff was friendly. Amazing desserts too.
