I love Monte Ne Chicken. The atmosphere has a down-home feel with lots of antique-looking tools & photos on the walls. I would highly suggest making reservations as the restaurant is packed. Dave, the owner is so nice & is hands on- from working the counter, taking time to talk, & when we left, he was in the kitchen cooking. Only regret is we had no room for the peach cobbler! — Jackie: Bentonville, Arkansas

We have dined at Monte Ne on multiple occasions, each time leaving impressed! The facility is SPOTLESS, the staff is super friendly and engaging, and the food…WELL PREPARED, FRESH, and LOTS OF IT! Great family value. Don’t forget to make reservations! –Jack: Rogers, Arkansas

Monte Ne Inn Chicken has a well-deserved reputation in NW Arkansas for excellent (and plentiful!) food in a casual atmosphere. Yes, the drive takes you outside the city, but the setting is beautiful . . . and just a couple of blocks from the lake. –JT: Bella Vista, Arkansas

This place was packed. Make sure you have a reservation or be prepared to wait. Chicken was good and so were the sides. Good bread and our server was awesome. — JJ: Little Rock, Arkansas

We have been here several times and the food and service are good. Very impressed with the basic old bean soup with saltine crackers. Great fried chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy good sides too. Love the apple butter. Good service and fair prices. –David: Centerton, Arkansas

Always enjoy our meal at Monte Ne & this trip was no exception. Always some of the best home cooking around. My wife’s FAVORITE fried chicken and in my top three. Highly recommended! –Perry: Davis, Oklahoma

Another trip to Monte Ne Chicken.  No menu needed here, pan fried chicken, bread, and all fixins all at one price.  Still the #1 Pan Fried Chicken that we have been too ( over 75 restaurants in the US). Only open 3 hours weekdays and a few more on Sundays. — K, Nebraska

I love this place! It is a hidden restaurant near the lake (about 15 minutes from the highway). It is an all you can eat/family style meal. Everyone gets the same food – bean soup, fried chicken, mash potatoes, corn, coleslaw, and rolls with apple butter. The fried chicken and the rolls with apple butter are my favorite! —Cathy, New Jersey
