Gathering around the table with friends and family for a homestyle meal is what life is all about, and when it's time for family dinner, a traditional favorite is chicken with all the fixings. Here's an old-school restaurant in Harrisville that's been serving up heaping plates of home-cooked goodness since 1972.

Meet up with your loved ones at Wright's Farm Restaurant for a sit-down meal served family style. You'll find the restaurant at 84 Inman Rd., Harrisville, RI 02830.

You won't find a stuffy, fancy-pants dining room here. It's a bright, light space filled with long tables that are big enough to hold the heaping bowls of comfort food that you crave. Gather your friends and family around the table and enjoy! It's like dinner at Grandma's house, except that no one has to do the dishes later.

The family-style chicken dinner includes roasted chicken, salad dressed with Wright's secret dressing, pasta with rich marinara sauce, a pile of Wright's signature fries, and warm, fluffy, homemade rolls.

The chicken here just about falls off the bone. It's slow roasted, tender and juicy.

They'll bring you a full basket of their incredible homemade rolls, and you'll definitely want more because these little gems of pillowy goodness are downright addictive.

Eat your fill because the dishes at this family dinner are all-you-can-eat. Your server will keep your bread basket full and your chicken platter heaped with plenty of juicy chicken. The service here is friendly and fast — just ask, and they'll bring more of anything you want. The restaurant will allow you to take leftovers from your first serving home.

At the end of your meal, order an ice cream pie. Get a whole pie for the family to share for just $23, or order individual slice for $3 each. It's the perfect end to a perfect family meal.

Before you leave, stop in at the 4,000-square-foot gift shop to peruse the shelves that are stuffed full of all sorts of unique items for everyone in the family.

Stop by the fudge counter for a take-home treat!
