Arkansas: Monte Ne Inn Chicken

For a taste of homestyle tradition in Arkansas, locals flock to Monte Ne Inn Chicken in Rogers. Open since 1972, this family-style restaurant might look modest, but it serves some of the most legendary fried chicken in the state. Each meal is all-you-can-eat, brought to your table with a spread of comforting sides – bean soup, green beans, sweet corn, mashed potatoes with gravy, and house-made biscuits, all accompanying that famously tasty fried chicken. The chicken here sports a deep brown crust that’s crunchy and well seasoned, protecting exceptionally juicy meat inside. It’s the kind of stick-to-your-ribs cooking that has been drawing locals for generations. Customers praise the hearty portions, relaxed atmosphere, and welcoming service. At Monte Ne Inn, the recipes don’t change with the trends – and that consistency is exactly why it remains an Arkansas fried chicken favorite.
