Our Story

Chick-A-Dee Restaurant has been a Wilmington favorite since 1967, welcoming generations of local customers with familiar food, friendly service, and the kind of comfortable atmosphere that makes a neighborhood restaurant feel like home. Located at 390 W Baltimore St. in Wilmington, Illinois, Chick-A-Dee is a family-owned and operated restaurant with a long-standing connection to the community.

The restaurant's story is closely tied to the Shabani family. Sadik Shabani has been running Chick-A-Dee since the 1980s, helping carry forward the traditions that have made the restaurant a local favorite for decades. One of those traditions is the restaurant's chicken recipe, which has remained the same since Chick-A-Dee first opened. That consistency is part of what makes the restaurant special—customers can come back for the familiar flavors they have enjoyed for years.

Chicken is at the heart of Chick-A-Dee, but there's much more to enjoy throughout the menu. Guests can stop in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, with breakfast served all day for those who enjoy a classic breakfast meal any time they're ready for it. The restaurant also offers a Soup of the Day and Daily Specials, giving regular customers something different to look forward to.

For those looking to enjoy Chick-A-Dee at home, the restaurant offers large family takeout, making it convenient to bring a meal home to share. Chick-A-Dee also welcomes large parties, providing a place for friends, families, and groups to gather over a meal. Gift certificates are also available for customers who want to share a Chick-A-Dee experience with someone else.

Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, grabbing lunch, meeting friends for dinner, picking up a family meal, or gathering with a larger group, Chick-A-Dee continues to offer the welcoming, down-to-earth restaurant experience that has made it part of Wilmington's community for more than five decades.
