One of downtown Des Moines' most successful restaurant groups is spreading its wings and opening a new poultry-themed eatery on the far southern edge of West Des Moines.
The Chicken opens Wednesday along the Great Western Trail in tiny Orilla Township.
The restaurant features fried, broasted and spicy chicken dishes with seating for about 100 inside and another 80 on the patio.
It is a venture of Full Court Press, the group that owns High Life Lounge, Fong’s Pizza,El Bait Shop,the Royal Mile and other downtown staples.
