Excellent juicy and crispy chicken!! Very nice lady took our order and the food came out fast!! Great place.

We tried Rick's for the first time and we were not disappointed! All of the food was good - we were particularly impressed with the breading on the chicken and the honey glazed biscuits We called to put our pickup order in ahead of time and our family sized meal was ready in less than 20 minutes. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend if you're in the area! PS: From what we saw in the drive-thru, there isn't indoor seating available read more

Love the chicken and the sides. Great service Great family run restaurant Extra crispy and juicy read more

We stopped by for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We did a call ahead order for pick up. I recommend doing a call ahead order! This place was quite busy for lunch. We ordered a 12 piece chicken tender meal with mashed potatoes and gravy and a coleslaw. The meal comes with 4 biscuits. Everything was really good. The chicken tenders are some of the best you will ever taste! This is homemade food! Do yourself a favor and do not drive by Rick's without picking up some chicken! Also, bring your cash to avoid an additional credit card fee. read more

Stopped by for lunch. Quaint place with a walk up window and drive tru. Ordered chicken (2 & 3 piece), tenders, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and fries. Service was quick and friendly. Chicken was crispy and very good. Sides are decent. Tenders I'm told were ok. Will be back. read more

From everything that I could find online, it stated that the restaurant was open till 9 PM. It no longer says open till 9 PM Sunday through Thursday they close at 8 PM. I have never ate here. I cannot tell you how the food is but we showed up at about 801 or 803 and they told us that we were closed so apparently they don't want my business so I will not be going back there read more

This was fantastic. We got the 8 piece family meal. All was delicious. We will definitely be back.

Okay again I will start by saying I live in Houston and I had just gotten back from Nashville a week ago from trying this place. I just grabbed a simple 8 piece chicken from their drive thru, and the service was wonderful. True southern style hospitality and very quick service. That said, the chicken for me was average, it did not feel light or fresh. It was good homemade style fried chicken, and I will definitely be back to try the sides and sandwich, but it's not much above kfc when it comes to the actual chicken. read more

Rick’s Crispy Chicken - 8 Piece Crispy Chicken (big portions for $22) - Chicken Shop Near Me - Mossville, Illinois

Chicken is very good. Order early on Holidays they sometimes run out. But that's a good thing!!!!

Awesome food! We have lived close to Rick's Crispy Chicken for years and, for whatever reason, have never tried the food. We got it last night and definitely did not disappoint! I paid almost $80 total for a 16-piece family dinner (2 mashed potatoes & gravy and 2 coleslaw), large order of corn fritters, and larger order of fried mushrooms. Huge portions for the price! We easily could have fed 7-8 people on that. Chicken was extremely moist and crispy, coleslaw sweet and creamy, mashed potatoes were mashed potatoes, mushrooms great, and corn fritters excellent. We will definitely be back soon! read more

So driving through Illinois.. saw Rick's Crispy Chicken. Who does not like some crispy chicken. They had a two-piece special on the sign, so I gave it a shot. The chicken was as advertised crispy, hot, and juicy. The seasoning was not too salty or too much pepper. The bisucts were warm and not even close to being dry. The sides I got was mac and cheese and mashed potatoes with gravy. I pulled out nice a full and not disappointed. They even gave me a keychain. read more

See all

The chicken might be amazing but I wouldn't know because the customer service is so bad. I pulled up to the drive thru, they asked if I called ahead. I said no. They just said to wait. So I sat there at the drive thru for five minutes with nothing but silence from the speaker. There wasn't even anyone in front of me, so I drove off, never to return again. read more

Great crispy chicken with great mashed potato with chicken gravy....soooo good Great biscuits Mac and cheese ..... some pasta within the cheese Bring your appetite read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here for lunch and Ricks did not disappoint! I got the popcorn chicken bowl and my boyfriend got the 3 piece tender meal. Bomb! Sides were delish and chicken was fresh and crispy! We will definitely be back. read more

Very good chicken and sides I recommend to order on phone first Always wry busy No inside seating read more

Good chicken. I feel like Central IL has lost some of its best chicken joints so it's great to have this in the area.

Food is good. Service is poor prices are outrageous. Save your money go someplace else charging $17 for three piece meal.

If I could give them 100 stars I would. Let me say, I'm not a fried chicken fan. Never really was until I had Rick's. Their fried chicken is amazing. The mac and cheese is nice and creamy. The potatoes with the chicken gravy is down right heavenly. Go check them out!! Service is very quick, just call ahead. read more

Great chicken. The service was second to none. Worth the drive from Peoria. The liver and corn fritters were great as well.

The Chicken is delicious. I drive out of my way to Mossville from Metamora just for Rick's Chrispy Chicken. My ten-year-old son begs me to go there. read more

I was passing through in my new car bright yellow Lexus. The guy at the window definitely made me feel great about my purchase and gave me a great takeaway with a statement he made. I will always remember that statement and if I ever pass back through there I will definitely make a stop by Rick's. Food was great, it's a must try for sure. Great job Rick's! read more

Ok, I couldn't wait, so went back yesterday. I got the 8 piece chicken, no sides and it was $20.30. No prices listed anywhere. That's not a bad price actually because the pieces are huge, cooked crispy (my favorite). I got 2 breasts, 2 wings, and 4 legs. He was out of thighs and asked if I would be ok with legs, and I said, of course. Rick has the most pleasant personality and comes to the window to meet you and welcome you back. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to going back!!!!!!! read more

This place is your best bet for great fried chicken, and they do not skimp on the portions. Chicken livers never disappoint either. Do check your order before pulling away, they have missed an item a time or two but if you call them, they do make it right. read more

Excellent fried chicken and service. It was exactly what I expected and the price was perfect

We ordered from here while on vacation back in July but I'm just now getting around to writing a review. It's pretty much a drive up or walk up and order and take it home place. They do have a couple tables you can eat outside if you so desired. This was some really great fried chicken and I'm from the south so I know a thing or two about fried chicken. We got the 16 piece family meal which came with 4 sides. We got mashed potatoes l, green beans, baked beans and coleslaw. They were all pretty decent but the chicken definitely outshined the sides. Staff was friendly and brought the food to our car when it was ready. We had to wait about 20 minutes because they were cooking fresh and you will never hear us complain about waiting on hot fresh food. We are going back in a couple weeks for another river vacation with my 80 year old mother and you can bet we will be eating here at least once for sure. This time I will take pics read more

Their popcorn chicken isn't popcorn chicken at all. They just cut up a chicken tender before frying it. The chicken is usually dry and tasteless and sides are usually cold. i've tried to give them a second and third chance and I've just been disappointed every single time. read more

I love Rick's crispy chicken!! Growing up in the south I've had a lot of fried chicken, so finding a good fried chicken place is an absolute must! It's worth the wait if you see a line. If you're able to call ahead and place an order will save you at least 20 minutes as they cook everything fresh. My daughter loves their biscuits and green beans. We always get the mashed potatoes and gravy too. It's just wonderful comfort food that's amazingly really is crispy, somehow not greasy, and juicy tender flavor. Just wish they had an online ordering to make it easier. read more

They know how to do crispy chicken and the mashed potatoes are awesome. Good choice of sides and reasonably priced.

I consider myself a fried chicken connoisseur . Ricks chicken is meaty juicy and fresh. People there are friendly. I never have to wait but I do call ahead.I wish there was one in Peoria and my only other complaint is they need to season the chicken and sides. Other than that I definitely recommend Ricks. Worth the drive read more

Truly crispy chicken. The 8 piece dinner with sides can easily be stretched to three meals for a couple. Great coleslaw. We never order mashed potatoes but we did today, will order again. The gravy was also good. This is the only place to go for Real Crispy Chicken and fixens. Hope they open a spot on the other side of the river someday. It's well worth the drive from wherever. read more

New chicken place in Mossville, great food ran by a friendly family. I ordered the 2 piece Chicken dinner, food was hot and delicious!

go here for chicken better than kfc and better than buffalo of wild wings they have really yummy mac and cheese (ryan trayham pls come here)

Always fresh food and delicious! Rick is super nice and always happy to see familiar faces. Chicken strips and the corn fritters are my favorite! read more

We are 40 minutes out so I always call ahead. They have really good chicken and also about the only place you can get chicken livers. The biscuits are good,but as far as other sides not thrilled,we skip them now. We tried the corn fritters they had been cooked to long and had gotten tuff. I give them kudos for being open with the COVID going on ,they were very busy that night. Very pleasant workers. We will go back for sure. read more

Tried Rick's for the first time today, very pleased. Chicken was crispy as advertised, tasted great. Biscuit was very good. Mashed Taters and Baked Beans spot on. Fried mushrooms also very good. Really liked the chicken & mushroom breading, and the hot sauce for the chicken. Definitely will come back for more. read more

Best chicken that I have ever had! Family owed, so they are very friendly and customer service oriented. Simply delicious.

Holy cow. Or chicken. :) This place is a gem! Chicken was seasoned and fried to perfection, fries were crispy and the green beans were AMAZING!! The people working were extremely friendly and you get a ton of food for the money. Definitely worth the drive!! read more

First time customer. Since this COVID started, we have been ordering take-out/to-go meals a couple of times a week from local/independent restaurants. We have been pleased with the service, their product, and they in turn have seemed to really appreciate our business. That brings us to last night (5/9). After a couple of busy signals, got thru to Rick's and placed our order. No big deal, standard family size 12-piece meal includes 3 large sides and biscuits. The gal confirmed our order, chosen sides, and total $'s and asked when we wanted to pick-up. It was now 4:40pm and we said, "How about 6:00pm" and she said, "That will work great". We asked how we picked-up when we arrived and she said, "Just proceed to the drive-thru window." This gave them an hour and twenty minutes to get our standard size order in line, prepared, and ready for pick-up. After about a 20-minute drive, we pulled into Rick's at about 5:50pm and noticed that the drive thru had several cars in it and that there were cars in the lot as well. We were excited because that probably meant that (A.) they were busy, good for them and (B.) they must put out a good product. After a little wait in the drive-thru line, we pulled up to the speaker at the remote kiosk and stated we were to pick-up our call-in order for 6:00 and our name on the order. The person acknowledged and stated to just proceed to the pick-up window. It was now about 5:57pm. It hurts us to do this when we typically promote and patronize small local businesses, but this is our honest experience and hope it can be a wake-up call to the owners and managers to make the needed corrections and training before it is too late. And now starts what we will sarcastically call the "Cluck-Fest". We noted it was taking a while to get pulled-up to the pick-up window; we were the third vehicle in line between the remote ordering kiosk and the drive-thru pick-up widow. While waiting, we had the windows down and could hear the 'discussions' inside the restaurant. Not good and very unprofessional/business-like. It was a total melt-down going on. The person who appeared to be in charge/authority (do not know his name or job title, so I won't assume either one) was berating the other employees loudly dropping multiple F-bombs and other profanities. Statements such as: "You don't know what the F__ you are doing"; "You do not know what orders are waiting'"; "Go out to the F___ing parking lot and close these tickets we haven't filled and give them their F___ing money back"; "If we don't know what the F___ we are doing, we shouldn't be in G__D__ business". We were not intending to eavesdrop; we were just patiently waiting in line inside our vehicle. While in line, we noted that the employees in the food prep assembly area were not wearing masks or social distancing. I can not confirm nor deny if the employees were wearing any hand coverings (ie: gloves) while assembling or taking the orders or payments. I also noted several customers walk right up to both the ordering window and the pickup/drive thru windows not wearing masks as well. When we finally got to the pick-up window at about 6:15 (I was now wearing my required mask for being in public) the person didn't have a clue what our order was. We repeated our order, including the sides we ordered, and our name on the order and requested time of pick-up. It was clear they had no clue nor could even locate our ticket. After waiting at the drive-thru pick-up window for about 12 minutes, they finally assembled our order in a bag. I verbally confirmed our order and sides to the employee at the window, they gave an acknowledgment and handed it thru to us, we paid them plus tip not wanting any change. The employee at the window was not wearing a mask or hand coverings and we were closer than 6 feet in distance. We then pulled away from the window, but stopped still in the lot, so that we could examine the bag and confirm our order before driving 20 minutes back home. There was what appeared to be both chicken and biscuits in at least close to the ordered quantities. However, 2 of the 3 sides they gave us were incorrect. I parked the car and proceeded to the walk-up window with the order and wearing my required mask in public. At the window I told them about the incorrect sides, after checking, the employee stated that they were out of one of the sides (first time we were informed of that issue) and wanted to know what we wanted instead. We wound up just getting the other side that was incorrect and left. Finally pulled out of the parking lot at 6:40pm and headed for home. As for the food itself: the chicken was decent, we would rate about an 8 out of 10. A little heavily coated/breaded but the pieces were ample size and moist. We wound up with 13 pieces when ordered only 12. The biscuits were good, maybe a 7 to 8 and appeared homemade. The other sides were generic and unremarkable, on average, we gave them 3 to 4. read more

Did take-out from here for the first time last week. Gotta say, this is a great place, and they have it down to a science for getting carry-out food and customers in and out quickly. Chicken was great, and their mashed potatoes and gravy and slaw topped off the meals. To top off the meal there's a homestyle southern biscuit and choice of soda included in the price of the meal. Next time tho, I have to remember to try the corn fritters. Found I could call ahead, or order at the drive-thru, which I did. Most certainly will not be the last time visiting here, but will do call-ahead next time to speed up the process. read more

I can't say enough about this little place. I've been there several times now and have not had one bad experience. The white meat is almost as juicy as dark meat. That takes a lot of attention to the frying process to get it perfect. The sides, while nothing too fancy, are all very good and the proportions are more than adequate. Corn fritters are on point. And everyone that works there from the owner on down are all genuinely nice people. I really hope this place makes it. The building has been several other businesses but this one has...a hook. I know I'm hooked! I've had just about everything on the menu now and absolutely would love to see some smoked Wings one day. To sum it up... good value good food good people and without a doubt worth a drive!! read more
