The Wishbone Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Westminster

The wishbone restaurant has been operated by the same family for many decades. I believe it has been rated by Americas best as #1 in the U.S. for it's fried chicken and other dishes which they have many. It is definitely focused on the quality & taste of all their food & menue choices. Cleanliness, friendly, excellent service, and really great value are what they are known for. We have been going to the Wishbone for more years than I can remember and have taken friends and family that had never been there, and even single one of them agreed that the Wishbone serves the best fried chicken they have ever tasted. My wife and I were talking about if I had to pick a last meal, what would that be? With all the great places from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins the Wish Bone is one of my few favorites. The thighs and gizzards, OMG, they are so good n hot, with a crunchy outer coating, juicy on the inside, I dip them in the light gravy, served with a baked potato, Texas toast, honey if you want & some pickel slices, I am in comfort food heaven. I know this was a long review, but I love this restaurant so much and the family and staff, they work so hard, and are dedicated to making sure their customers are happy, more than satisfied and never leave hungry. I know everyone has different tastes, but I think you may be surprised at just how great the Wishbone is. They have plenty of parking, easy for people and families to access, they have pick up & take out, child friendly, and clean restrooms. the restaurant may not be fancy, it is comfortable and inviting, kind retro or a throw back to the 50s / 60s. You will not be...

This restaurant is very special to me. I had my first date there with the love of my life on September 23, 2017. We decided on this place because of the good wholesome looking food in it's advertisements. We drove to this place on a dreary/rainy day in the beautiful mile high city of Denver. The weather perfectly offset the tasty fulfilling fried chicken my love and l both had. The host was great to my better half. He complimented her like a gentleman should and shook my hand in acknowledgement that I'm one lucky man. We were promptly seated and asked what we'd like to quench our thirst (besides each other). Unbeknownst to us we both love the American classic which is a tall glass of fresh brewed iced tea. We loved taking in the throwback atmosphere there where each booth has a coat hanger and 50s/60s bepop plays over the loudspeaker that reminded us to where taking your honey out on a date was the ultimate goal in a young person's life. The waitress was very attentive and took our order with perfection. We both ordered the the number 3 "Kings half chicken" our orders only differed with her having a desire for cole slaw and my hankering for mash potatoes with brown gravy. Let me just say the food hit the proverbial spot. It was a site to see a 5'2" 120 lb firecracker enjoy her food so much. You made her day which in turn makes my day. Thank you Wishbone restaurant for a memory that will be with us for decades to come.

Best regards, Sunshine...

If you're missing the traditional family-owned restaurant with classic American fare, look no further than the Wishbone. Great for multigenerational family meals or a quick bite with the family.

The Americana interior and warm woods invite patrons in and feel like a slice of times gone by. The family who owns the restaurant runs front of house and are jovial, friendly, and make you feel at home every time.

They are pretty busy anytime we've gone but the dining area has significant seating so we've never had a wait to be seated.

The main feature on the menu is variations of fried chicken, but there are many other options from salads to sandwiches and platters.

Only downside is the side salads arents super exciting but that is greatly outweighed by the chocolate cake for dessert.

Great place to take the family, baby and small child friendly.

The waitstaff are friendly and fast.

They have daily specials that rotate throughout the week meaning lots of variety for entrees.

Plenty of parking and accessible spaces. Take out to go is offered and has a separate entrance

Overall this is one of my favorite spots in...
