New favorite fried chicken place!! This little spot is kind of in the middle of no where but their chicken is fresh and fried to perfection! I love the crisp skin and the tender chicken meat!!! You can tell their chicken is not frozen by the tenderness and flavor of the chicken My family and I got the whole chicken (8 pieces total) with fries, onion rings, and cole slaw. The chicken pieces are not huge but not too small either. The meal was just the right amount for us as we wanted to go somewhere for dessert after. The sides are not the greatest but not bad either. The fries are crinkled (the best kind) and the onion rings are beer battered (and perfectly fried) ! The staff is friendly and place is clean. I will definitely be coming back for their fried chicken!! Note: this is not a restaurant style place. You order and pick up your order and sit down

Whoa! Walking into this place was like entering a time capsule. The chicken and sides were fresh and the interior of the restaurant looked awesome. Shout out to the front of house staff who asked who asked us how our meal was (amazing) and wished us a good day. I don’t really expect customer service like that these days so it kind of caught me off guard lol. We will be back again. Visited on 5/26/24 at 3:00 pm.

We stopped into Speck's for the first time recently. I have to say, this place is a blast from the past, in a good way! The chicken was delicious and definitely hit the spot. The cheese burger and onion rings were very good, too. I can't believe I've driven past this place for years and have never stopped in before now to try it. If you want some good chicken or other drive in style food, stop in and try something.

April 2025 Pleasantly surprised I really enjoyed this food. I don’t eat fried food very often and avoid seed oils as much as possible, but I was in a fried chicken mood and decided to give this place a try. I like the old school charm that takes you back 60 years, with a simple menu of burgers, fries, chicken, and other American staples of diners and drive-ins. We ordered a 4-piece fried chicken, cheeseburger, fries, and coleslaw. The cheeseburger was fair, the fries were ordinary, and the coleslaw was entirely too tangy, but the fried chicken was excellent. Extremely tender and juicy with great flavor and spice. Service was fast and friendly and the restaurant was clean. Was a good visit overall.

Specks is a no frills self seat, counter order diner known for their broasted chicken. For those unfamiliar, this was a cooking style that was popularized in the latter half of the twentieth century which involves pressure frying food in special equipment. While its popularity has waned, the flavor is really great: it has the crispiness of regular frying but with extra juiciness and somewhat less oil. Specks seems to also brine their chicken which takes it up several notches relative to any other fried bird. Prices are very reasonable and you can order by the bird or piece. Also there are a wide variety of other menu items including tasty side dishes ranging from potato salad to fries and green beans. Strongly recommend you accompany the food with a shake: they have some unique and delicious flavors like birch beer and orange creamsicle.

I have made the trip to this place a handful of times and it is always worth the drive. It has a very old-school feel to it inside like a 1950s 60s pop shop. The chicken is always crispy and juicy and all the sides are always on point. I wish they had biscuits instead of dinner rolls, but still, the place is great. I’d recommend this over any big brand.

Known for good fried chicken but their deli sandwiches are excellent. It's all about the bread. It's also nice to sit at the same counter I did as a kid in the 80s. Pretty sure the drink machine is the same.

10/10. Totally understand why all the KFCs closed in the area. So crispy and so juicy and so succulent. Everything everyone wants in their chicken. Also is very well priced.

I had this for the first time today and got a half chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and fries. It's almost midnight, I'm now craving more broasted chicken and it's all I can think about. The thigh, wing, drum, and breast were all cooked just right and the chicken was clean and well sized, great skin and texture, and super moist inside. It's a toss up for me, but the best American fried chicken I've had is either here or shady maple smorgasbord, and I didn't think I'd ever find a match to their chicken. The dine in nostalgic decor and kitchen might push this place to the top of my list over shady maple.

Stopped in after the RV Show in Oaks Pa for a quick dinner. This place is a throw-back for sure. Felt like we stepped into a time machine. . Everything was pretty good. The Chicken, the mozzarella Sticks....Priced very reasonably. They were very busy on the Saturday night but the wait was not long at all. Staff was super friendly. Place was pretty clean.
