This isn’t your typical family restaurant because it’s really a family run Fried Chicken restaurant largely. You come here for the fried chicken and will be convinced of that decision the moment you enter. The fried chickens were crispy without a layer of fat sitting between the meat and skin. The gravy provided was the icing on the cake. BTW the coleslaw was very good. Our server Margaret was courteous and attentive at all times. This meal would count as one of the highlights of our trip.
We were looking for a non-chain, home- cooked meal. WE FOUND IT! We started with livers & gizzards and proceeded to the chicken and shrimp meal. The finally was the homemade coconut pineapple ice cream. Everything was delicious. We only got a picture of the appetizers- too busy enjoying the rest to remember to take pictures! The owner and waitress were friendly and suggested just what we were craving! This is a must try restaurant!
Wishbone is a family themed restaurant of comfort food big time! Great fried chicken, perfectly cooked and nice and has a nice and crunchy coating. I got the Chicken and Shrimp. Didn’t like the shrimp at all. It reminded me of Supermarket frozen fried shrimp - big no to that.
But the Chicken and sides more than made up for it.
Server Paula was a true gem!! Best server I’ve come across in a good while.
Lost in the Mountains !!!

This Family owned Restaurant has been around since 1963. We always go there for the Fried Chicken and mashed potatoes w/ gravy. Wishbone is extremely consistent and amazing every time! Lots of seating, almost never have to wait! Staff is always sweet and attentive! Every table has honey if you like that with your Fried chicken, we do!! They also have a takeout side if you would like to grab it to go.
One of the best fried chicken I’ve had, ever. Might be the best fried chicken in Colorado.
Piping hot, completely juicy, and so flavorful. It’s like if the chicken from Popeyes (chicken that I like) was consistently good. I also highly recommend the equally juicy and delicious breaded mushroom.
The restaurant itself is ok and very old-time-y (think Elvis pictures) and the service was…ok. They didn’t seem to have a lot of the sides on the menu so that was a bit of a bummer. BUT doesn’t matter because of the AMAZING chicken.
Wish it wasn’t so far from Denver!
Fried chicken was good, owner proud his chicken as the world best. But what really impressed me was chicken gizzards. It has a very crispy out shall, pretty much like KFC. Gizzard handle properly, not smelly. ill recommend having a half set of chicken gizzards if you want to try out.
I have been coming to Wishbone for almost 50 yrs! It has Never disappointed. I even come here for my Bday every year. Their chicken IS the best. But my favorites are the Chicken fried steak,dinner, & chopped Sirloin steak dinner! It's a huge meal at a great price! And Wishbone has Always been the Cleanest restaurant I've Ever seen!! The owners are so nice too. There's a good reason Wishbone has been around almost 60 Years!! It's just Perfection!! Even their dressings are homemade & are SO good!! I can't wait to go there again. Don't forget to try their Deep Fried Mushrooms!! Yum yum yum!! 😋 You've just got to Love this place!! 💜👍
Had a group of 10 of us. Sarah did a great job serving us. We had ordered a variety of dishes, including chicken, dark chicken, grilled salmon, vegetables, steak, fish and chips, and a cheeseburger. Everyone enjoyed their meal. They also listened to the list of food allergies and they were able to cook as ordered. Please take a moment to like videos and phots you look at on this review. In the long run it will help others who are searching for places on Google.
Loved this place. The beef barley soup was delish tasted homemade! The only criticism would be that they should make homemade mashed potatoes and gravy. Both of those items were packaged.
It's my go to place for fried chicken. I haven't found better locally, to be honest. Great food, and the staff is always friendly. I've taken my family here several times over the years, and never had a bad experience. I'd give 10 instead of 5 stars if I could!
