01 / The story of this place
Make time for these
Penny Red's is all about chef Andrew Carmellini's fried chicken: buckets of 5, 10 or 20 pieces with honey-butter biscuits and farmstand sides like tangy slaw, mac and cheese and crispy Brussels sprouts. There are sandwiches too, including the K-Town Cutlet with kimchi barbecue sauce. To sit down, head next door to The Brakeman, the craft beer and rec hall, or order ahead for pickup or delivery.
