Meals are served at long communal tables inside a spacious dining room, with takeout also available.
Wright's Farm opened in the 1950s as a small family operation and grew steadily into one of the most visited chicken restaurants in Rhode Island. The family-style format it adopted early on has remained largely unchanged since then.
The long communal tables at Wright's Farm are a defining feature of the experience, where families and strangers sit side by side and pass shared bowls around. This format gives the meal a feeling closer to a family gathering than a typical restaurant visit.
The restaurant is open Thursday through Sunday, and weekends tend to draw larger crowds, so arriving early helps avoid a long wait. For large groups, it is worth calling ahead to check on seating availability.
Wright's Farm is said to serve over a million pounds (around 450,000 kg) of chicken each year, making it one of the largest chicken restaurants in all of New England. The on-site Carriage Room can seat several hundred guests and is regularly booked for weddings and large celebrations.
