Built on 80 acres, this used to be a farm and cattle ranch and opened in 1973. The restaurant can accommodate up to 600 folks.
They do not take reservations but have a unique system to notify guests when the table is ready. This allows everyone to wander the grounds and enjoy the duck pond, petting zoo, a corral where the animals can be fed, the gazebo to sit and relax, the gift shops, and a carriage ride. They are famous for their fried chick so alot fo the decor is chickens and roosters!
One room is called the Back Porch and there is live entertainment for everyone to enjoy while waiting for their table. There is also a beverage bar and candy counter.
Once seated and our meal was ordered, our very friendly waiter Sean, brought us the appetizers - pickled beets, cottage cheese, corn fritters, cole slaw and kidney bean salad.
Most food is served family style. Each person who orders chicken gets a whole 1/2 chicken. Absolutely fabulous.
We went with friends and his birthday and mine are on the same day so we got ribbons that said it was our birthday. It was fun to see how may Leo's were there celebrating and we could wish each other a Happy Birthday.
After dinner we went on a short carriage ride around the property.
This truck is parked but we are told they did deliver, back in the day.
Fun restaurant, beautiful, clean property, and family owned who make all the guests feel like they are visiting their home.
Reviews of places, restaurants and events; our eBay presence; some recipes; and some of this and that. Being retired we are busier than ever before, doing eBay and writing names or messages on rice grains, putting them in a glass vial to make jewelry at many craft shows.

I went to White Fence Farm in IL a handful of times growing up. The food looked exactly the same as it does in your pictures and was always delicious. Glad that you had a good time.
That looks like a lot of fun!
Looks yummy! I love the Rockies and Denver too.
