On that particular Sunday, the special was all-you-can-eat roasted chicken, which caught my eye as I saw a plate being served at another table. I couldn't resist! The chicken was cooked to perfection, golden brown with a light, crispy batter and served piping hot, without any hint of greasiness. I typically prefer dark meat when it comes to fried chicken, but the breast meat was just as tender and juicy as the thighs and drumsticks. To complement the meal, I had a serving of Dennie fries (homemade potato wedges), a fresh salad, and a large cup of coffee. All of this made for a fabulous Sunday dinner for about $14. I even requested an extra thigh for dessert, and the waitress surprised me by bringing two! She jokingly asked if I wanted to make a cheesecake with them. It was all in good fun, and I appreciated the friendly banter. Overall, it was just a fantastic country meal. If you find yourself on the west side of Des Moines, instead of heading to Cracker Barrel, drive another 15-20 minutes to The Corn Patch. You won’t regret it!

The portions are generous, and every meal includes their homemade potato soup and warm bread. The service was friendly and prompt. I found the best liver and onions in this area! I highly recommend the Corn Patch!
