Wright's Farm Restaurant. Harrisville, Rhode Island, Forget the turkey and go for chicken instead

Earlier this year, as we were driving through Rhode Island around dinner time, we were trying to think of a place to eat. All of a sudden, my wife piped up and asked if I wanted to go to Wright's Farm Restaurant near Smithfield? Since I had already driven by the exit, I did a sharp u turn as she described the meal.


What I found out later is that they only have two main items on their menu, their famous chicken and a steak. You're probably thinking, "what? nothing else." Yes, and believe me when I tell you that this is a place you want to check out. The chicken is fabulous and is served family style with rolls, salad, pasta with marinara sauce and fries. Bring your appetite because it is all you can eat and we would not be surprised if you get a second helping.

When the waitress asks, will that be two chicken dinners? You will quietly chuckle to yourself as that is just about the only thing you can get.

So we say if you are thinking about Thanksgiving forget the turkey and go for the chicken instead at Wright's Farm Restaurant.
