"Roast chicken, the simplest of dishes, can also be the best. Wright's Farm has 75 ovens that yield about one ton of it every night. If there happens to be someone in your party who is allergic to chicken, steak is available (ordered by less than 1% of customers)."

"Fried potatoes are a necessary part of the traditional Rhode Island dinner. These big, soft logs are some of the best, like huge-flavored home fries that actually have a certain earthy vegetable sweetness compared to the schmaltzy savor of the chicken."
Michael Stern
"The shells are fine and the gravy (aka sauce) is very good, but frankly, I reserve most of my appetite for chicken and potatoes."

"There is nothing unusual about the salad, but it's a good one: fresh, crisp and cool, with just enough garlic to snap taste buds to attention for the feast about to be eaten."
Michael Stern
"This impressionistic photo gives some sense of the delirium induced by being inside Wright's. When your table is ready you are directed to one of several booming dining rooms, where a hostess takes the lead as staff members rumble past with carts of dinner. "Where's everyone from?" asks a waitress before taking drink orders."
Michael Stern
"The gift shop has three different cash registers to handle crowds."
