Wright's Farm won't leave
you in a "fowl" mood
By Eric H.
One day we decided to take a
ride to Wright's Farm Restaurant. So did 1,000 other people.
Looking like one of those Keystone
Cops movies with a cast of thousands, we stood frozen in this
chicken farm version of Grand Central Station. It was apparent
everyone wanted a taste of that incomparable chicken dinner,
given the two-hour wait.
We left this Nasonville, R.I.,
location, vowing to return someday. There was just no way we
could wait an hour. It was 7 p.m., our daughter's bedtime, and
an hour past mine.
Two weeks later, we decided to
return to Wright's. By leaving in the early afternoon, we figured
there would be no problem getting a seat. After all, the place
seats well over 1,000 people in several dining rooms.
Upon arriving, we couldn't find
a parking space. We were wishfully thinking perhaps the parking
lot was being used for something else. Perhaps a large maintenance
crew came to clean the nearby pond, we thought.
For some reason, we didn't
have to wait. Perhaps the Democratic party was there, and didn't
have a specific plan to get seating.
What a great idea returning to
Wright's. The homestyle, flavorful chicken, tasty pasta with
homemade sauce, the salad with "just right" Italian
dressing (available at most markets), good rolls and unparalleled
french fries (from fresh, not frozen potatoes), made for the
best family style dinner, this side of Amish country. All this
for $8.95 per person -- plus very friendly service, and a wonderful
toy and gift shop-- resulted in one of the great informal dining
experiences we've sampled in New England. Good things do come
to those who wait.
