Hungry for a good, old-fashioned chicken dinner? Maybe with a side of fluffy mashed potatoes topped with gravy? Or, a hearty helping of green beans and creamy mac and cheese? Whatever your favorite sides, you’ll find they go perfectly with the crispy broasted chicken, available in platters, in buckets, and by the piece, at this old school restaurant in Pennsylvania.
Treat yourself to a blast from the past - and perhaps one of the best chicken dinners around - when you visit Speck’s Broasted Chicken, a classic drive-in restaurant, in Collegeville.

Not much has changed since the restaurant’s early days. In fact, the decor might even remind you of visits to local family-owned restaurants when you were growing up.
