The hubs favorite place to eat when we are in the area. Reservations highly recommended!!! Try the bean soup brought to your table as an appetizer! Chicken is very tender and crispy. Comes with mashed potatoes, white gravy, corn, bacon green beans, cole slaw, homemade bread, butter, and apple butter. All you can eat family style service. You won't leave hungry!
This place is awesome! The service from the moment we walked in the door was friendly and polite. I really appreciated the simplicity of this place. You just sit down and eat as much good food as you possibly can. Everything is delicious too. I loved the bread and apple butter, and the chicken was very crispy. I'm very glad I came here!
Not a single thing could have made our visit any better. Yummy homemade bean soup for starters with the best fried chicken that I have ever had, perfect mashed potatoes and creamy gravy, tasty seasoned green beans and corn, coleslaw and fresh baked bread with creamery butter and apple butter. I definitely ate too much. ;-)
Very good meal and service!! Just like a Sunday dinner at Grandma's house!!
The best chicken, friendly atmosphere and good service. We will go back again.
Cant do to go orders because of Mother's day? This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. There is a reason I get Monte Chicken to go, mashed potatoes come from a box and the green beans from a can. It's not fresh. Now their chicken is awesome!
This family business is a must if you are in town. The food was amazing and the prices very reasonable. They support your local military and first responders.
Great place to eat. Good food and service.
It was ok, but I have had better, the bean soup and the dessert (not included in the price of the meal), were the best for me. I was interested most about the history of the area.
My favorite since I was a kid. Always got my own apple butter just so I don’t need to share
Good home style food. Love it.
Very good loved it
Great food. Be sure to make reservations.
Yummy, love the atmosphere and excellent service. Always call for reservations this place is popular.
The best fried chicken I've ever had . Also try out the chocolate fudge dessert, it's awesome!
Good food and great staff
Great food and atmosphere. Handles a large party with ease.
I recently ate here for the first time after years of talking about going. I had heard so many good things. Overall it was a great experience. Definitely get a reservation because it's very busy and you might get turned away if you don't have one. My fiancee and I were so excited to finally eat here. We didn't wait long to be seated and we were brought a pot of bean soup to start us off pretty quickly. It was very hot and delicious. From there though it was a little tough to get service. The larger tables there seemed to get more service while we kept waiting for someone to come back over to our table. Once we got our initial round of chicken and sides we had to wait awhile before seeing our waitress again. It wasn't horribly long, but could be better. The chicken tastes amazing and well as most of the sides. However, our one big surprise that really saddened us was that the mashed potatoes are not fresh homemade mashed potatoes. We could tell they were instant and did not like the taste of them very much at all. Really sad for a home cooking sort of place. You would not expect that. Everything else I can't complain about, it tasted very good and definitely worth the money. I would not hesitate to go back, we just hope that one day they might switched to real mashed potatoes. If you love fried chicken, definitely give this place a try!
Visiting from San Antonio. Had the best time. Enjoyed the food - don't skip the blackberry cobbler! Service great - all staff friendly. Thanks Monte Ne Inn!
it was everything that everbody told me how good it was and more than plenty to eat
Great chicken and served family style so you can just keep eating!
Very good home style food. The chicken was awesome.
Always out of this world delicious family style chicken dinner!
Home style food. All you can. No menu just standard dishes. Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, green beans, rolls with butter and apple butter, bean soup. Desserts and drinks extra.
Just like momm's back in the kitchen, mmmmm good, can't Express this any better
Reminds me of growing up in NW Arkansas. The service is very nice and the fried chicken is moist and flavorful. I think it is the best bean soup I have ever had.
Great service and home cooking flavors.
Worst fried chicken i have ever eaten. I have had better fried ckicken from a TV dinner that you buy in a grocery store, take it home, and heat it up in a microwave. This place is a JOKE. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!The owner posted a comment to my review and said sorry, and that he would make it right, but when i called him he never offered to make it right. Hey Dave you are a joke just like your restaurant!!!
Great food! This place is usually busy, I love the atomsphere here, it's homestyle cooking! They serve it family style, bowls of chicken and beans and rolls. All very good!
Great food, great service
Loved this place was our first time very good food and service
My family has been eating here for 50 years, EVERY TIME we visit relatives in Rogers. IT’S THE BEST—FANTASTIC!!
The very best place to get a "home cooked meal" somewhere outside of home! A fantastic meal served fresh and piping hot, by a great staff of folks! Highly recommend stopping in for a wonderful meal!
The food was excellent well-prepared service was also excellent great atmosphere very pleasant place for a great meal
Great tasting chicken even when you remove the skin. Sides are good too

Family style dining. Great food. The desserts we're huge and delicious!
This is really a 4.5 rating, but I can't do it that way. I would have made this a 5 star rating, however the chicken portions (especially in the first serving) were much smaller than expected. Otherwise everything was great. Will definitely go back!
Amazing food and service
Best fried chicken around. Fast friendly service
Delicious, will return soon.❤️
We always have big family gatherings here and they are pretty smooth and the food is great. All you can eat southern food.
Love the food. Unique family style dining. Be sure to make a reservation if you are going on a weekend or if you have a large group.
Came here on our way back from Eureka Springs. Let me tell you something, if you leave a 1 star and cuss out the owner like one of the guys reviewing. Then you definitely need Jesus or some sort of book on how to treat people. This place was amazing. Food was great. A little bland but that's why there is salt and pepper at the table if you want more "flavor." The owner is a a super great guy and the servers are all willing to help. I will definitely come back here again and again. P.s. And again.
Been going here for 30 years and its still a great place to take your family.
Not a single thing could have made our visit any better. Yummy homemade bean soup for starters with the best fried chicken that I have ever had, perfect mashed potatoes and creamy gravy, tasty seasoned green beans and corn, coleslaw and fresh baked bread with creamery butter and apple butter.

Family style, great chicken and loved the gravy !
Great place to go! Reservations are suggested. My husband and I enjoyed the food. They had the best soup...not to mention the chicken.
Excellent meal & very friendly staff. Best chicken around. Going back in 2 weeks.
The mashed potatoes were really good, but the rest of the meal including the chicken was metoker at best. I've eaten thier years ago and would have highly recommended the food, but as of now I just can't do it.
Family style all you can eat dinner. Drinks and dessert is extra. You get fried chicken, corn, Cole slaw, mashed potatoes, cream gravy, loaf of bread, apple butter, and green beans. Get there early or make reservations.
Best chicken around and I love the bean soup appetizer! The bowls were never empty long. They could use a few more servers but the ones they have worked their butts off keeping all their tables happy. Everyone should eat there at least once!
Good food & great atmosphere
OMG this place is heaven on Earth. I have never heard of this place until one of my clients (I am a limo driver) asked me to take her and her family here. I can say I am definitely recommending this place for all my clients who asked for home cooking. The chicken reminded me of my grandmother's cooking as a child. An absolute great place to eat and have family fun.
Love this place. 20 years ago I took my soon to be wife, we ate and I went to pay with my debt card. Whoops! They didn't take debit cards at the time. "Ah, just send me a check," said the owner as he was waving his hand. Well, I was able to borrow a 20 spot from the couple we were with and got out of there without too much embarrassment. Anyway, I love telling that story. I love the atmosphere. They've been taking plastic for probably 15 years, I'm still married to the girl I took there that day, and the food is still excellent.
When i first moved to Arkansas in 99 it was great. But it the past 10 years every time i have been the quality of food has decided. It is disappointing. I don't see how they stay in business.
It was a nice place where you go in and don't have to worry about ordering except for your drinks and dessert everything else is done for you.
Can't wait for them to open back up this year.
This place is amazing!!!!! The people who work there are super nice and helpful. The food is the best I have eaten! The bean soup, yummy!!!! The chicken.... mouth watering deliciousness!!! The sides are awesome... and when you need more they just keep bringing them to you!!!!! Love!!!!!
Love this place! I go for the been soup and stick around for the everything else. We normally have like 15 people and they are so accommodating and very friendly.
There is so much delicious food. Great everytime.
Great home style southern food, straightforward price for the meal and excellent service
Absolute BEST place to get chicken/home cookin'!
My boyfriend and I drove all the way from Elkins, Arkansas to Monte Ne to try this place cause I have been dying to since I moved here to be turned away because we didn’t have a reservation and there were no open reservations until 8pm that night (we arrived before 5pm opening time) in hopes of getting a table before the crowd little did we know we would be turned away. We did check times before going but did not see anything about having to make a reservation. I am giving 2 stars cause the ladies did offer us take out which was nice but it’s just not the same experience of a small home town established diner without actually dining in. Lesson call and reserve a table even at this place especially if you are driving a good distance.
Get your reservations in early, folks! There's a reason why this place packs in with so many people. Good food, friendly service. This ain't no KFC, it's even better!
Great food! One of my favorites!
Plates were dirty, sweet tea was good, chicken was decent, mashed potatoes were fake, waitress was friendly and great, not my favorite place and probably won’t go back.
Best homestyle food around. Great service. Reasonably priced.
A must if you enjoy home style fried chicken with all the vixens. Out of the way but worth the drive.
Love the food... Great service
I have always loved monte chicken! I recommend it to everyone asking best place for chicken.
Monte Ne In is the best Fried Chicken in Northwest Arkansas. They have a family style setup you will go in they will serve you soup it's bean soup absolutely delicious and then they will bring out your main course which will be fried chicken mashed potatoes and gravy corn green beans coleslaw and a small loaf of homemade bread. It's a fantastic place it's a great place to take out of town guests. the scenery is beautiful on the way there after you turn off 71 business in Rogers be sure if you have any out-of-town guests to take them there.
Loved the family style all you can eat fried chicken. It's a bit of a drive to get there but worth it. Reservations would definitely be recommend, especial on a Sunday after church. I look forward to the next time I get to eat here.
Excellent chicken,mashed potatoes and gravy!And the bean soup is always delicious!;
There is a reason this place has been open so long. Great food it's always the same can guarantee a great meal every time
This is a must try if you live less than an hour away from Monte ne! Great good, great environment, great service.
Wonderful, yummy food! Excellent customer service! I have lived in NWA for 28 years & this was my first time to eat there! Absolutely loved it!
My fave place to eat. The bean soup is so good. All you can eat fried chicken and sides served family style. Worth the price.
It's famous in this area, yes, that's true. Is it worth it though? For me personally, no, not really. Atmosphere is...uh...rural, at best? Perhaps nonexistent? You're going there for buckets of fried chicken, so, yeah, you're probably not looking for actual atmosphere. All it is is a tiny & extremely cramped building where you sit around a large, round table, and eat buckets of fried chicken, potatoes, corn, etc with mostly elderly, unhealthily-sized caucasian patrons, in a really noisy environment. I know I'm in the minority with my opinion, as most of my family really enjoy the place (which is why I've been twice now), but I suppose it just isn't my style. Looking at the constant 5-star reviews really makes me scratch my head, but it means you should definitely still drive there and give them a try. Just because it isn't for me, doesn't mean it's not for you, as these 5-star reviews would definitely have you thinking otherwise. Go try it! As for me, after visiting twice, I think I've had my fill of this thing.
Family style eating with a great price for what you get. Went for a birthday dinner, and it didn't disappoint. Chicken was brought out super hot, so you know it was fresh, and all the sides were delicious. Kids were big fans of the apple butter.
You will never have fried chicken as good as it is here. I love this place!!
Great place for homestyle chicken. Very good. Friendly. Great service.
Family style fantastic food!!!
No better place for family style dining.
A great place to eat since 1974.
Food was great, relaxed atmosphere, and great service
This place is awesome.... Butt. If you are wanting to getting right in and set down, don't think about it. There is always a wait, bc the place is packed. But when you do get sat down, you are in for an awesome treat. Big portions, great food, great service.
This place is wonderful! Fast, friendly service, & the food is great! The experience was terrific!
I first went to Monte Ne Inn Chicken when I moved back from LA about 6 years ago. I gorged myself on fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, green beans, skipped the coleslaw, homemade bread, and their "this is the best thing I've had in my mouth in quite awhile" apple butter. I kid you not, I ate it straight out of the pot with a spoon for dessert (oh, nice segue, drinks and dessert are not included in the price. That was a bummer). Think of Cracker Barrel without the store and throw in all you can eat, and you have this lovely little restaurant that you might have to trek to get out there, but it's worth it. No, really. The only bit of a downside is that the very friendly wait staff often works on much larger tables (guests of 6+) so our little 2 seater was often overlooked. We sat, sad and hungry looking, with empty bowls of potatoes and chicken, just waiting to be noticed and get our seconds (and thirds, and fourths, and... you get it). And often new food was put on top of what was left in the bowls which, at the end of the meal, wasn't the tastiest as the remaining chicken pieces were cold and soggy with grease. My other tiny slight is that I asked for white meat (which costs more. Just sayin') and was never given a good piece of white meat, like a breast piece. Instead, I was pecking away at a tiny wing. Because we did not see our server often, I only had about 2-3 wings (which had very little white meat, considering) and was still a bit hungry, but didn't want to wait another 10 minutes to flag someone down and then wait even more for our bowl to be refilled. *sigh* Unfortunately, on this trip, I wasn't left with the best impression. However, I am more than willing to give it another go because the restaurant is quaint, the staff is lovely, and the food is delicious. My biggest advice is this: get a reservation. I once showed up and was turned away because I didn't have one. Thankfully, this past week when we went, the hostess was kind and gracious and worked us in. This is not the norm! I repeat, get a reservation! There is nothing more harrowing then showing up with a rumbly in your tumbly that only sweet and delicious, good ol' fried chicken can satiate and being turned away with a literal "there is no room for you at the Inn". As a marketer, I implore you Monte Ne Inn, please advertise. I love your restaurant and, because I never see it advertised anywhere, it simply fell off my radar. And I know I'm not the only one. In fact, the only reason you got on my radar was because I saw a billboard for fried chicken at Cracker Barrel. After about 2 weeks of not making it to get that down home chicken fix, it dawned on me that, wait a minute! I went to a place when I first moved back that had fried chicken! Aaaaand it was really really good! What was the name of it... wait, wasn't it far out or something? A short Google search later and, BAM!, on the radar. I would recommend a mix of traditional (especially for your older diners) and digital media. Hopefully I'll make it out there before another 6 years pass.
Very good.All you can eat of fried chicken and all the sides.
Great casual family atmosphere.
The food was great!! Service was awesome and fast!
Come hungry. It is the next day as I type this and I am still full... food is served family style and is all you can eat. The chicken and sides were great and the service good. You need a reservation to eat here. We had to wait 25 minutes after our reservation time but they apologized, told us that is not the norm, and gave our whole table free desserts for the wait.
Dry chicken, bland food, and this is everytime I go. Bean soup and the slaw are both spectactular. Service is ok.
As always wonderful and our waiter was great
This wonderful little place is exactly what I need when I'm craving heaping helpings of comfort food. All you can eat fried chicken dinner with all the fixins, served family style. The atmosphere is cozy and warm, with a touching rustic charm. Be sure to make reservations, and do it early, because seats go fast.
We absolutely love this place. Great food and staff.
Best fried chicken in Northwest Arkansas! It tastes like my grandma's!
I love this place!
Very good food. Family style
So good! Best friend chicken I've ever had.
Unfortunately the place did not live up to the hype. The chicken was cold and stale, the mashed potatoes were from a box, and the vegetables tasted as if they came a can. Service was good and everyone was friendly but the food needs improvements.
Meh... really gone downhill over the years. We went with another couple and we all thought the same thing. I hate to say this, but Popeyes and KFC have much better chicken. Most of the crowd were seniors so I think from a nostalgia point of view, I get it. But the main course of chicken and even most of the sides were bland, too salty, or nothing to write home about.
A satisfying home cooked meal, every time we come. I highly recommend this place, and definitely make a reservation.
Same great food they've been serving for years.
Cozy atmosphere and tasty family style dining. Everyone is served bean soup, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, fresh baked bread, apple butter, country gravy, and their delicious chicken. Dessert isn't included in the price, but if you like they have dessert options for extra. I highly recommend the blackberry cobbler but you may want to share it with someone after the large meal.
Great food, great service
This is a brilliant business model: basically they cook everyone the same thing. The dishes come out in huge pots and bowls and are placed on the table family-style, and everyone serves themselves up and eats until they can't anymore. So if you aren't in the mood for delicious fried chicken, freshly made bread with apple butter, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, navy bean soup, and homemade cobblers, this isn't the place for you.
Loved it! The chicken was amazing. I hear people talk about Babes in Dallas, but there is no comparison, Monte is 10 times better!
We visit Arkansas from Nebraska almost every year. Monte Ne is a must for us! The bean soup is AMAZING as is everything else on the menu. We have always had great service and the staff is always friendly!
The food is served family style and all of it is very fresh and prepared right. Call ahead for reservations and bring your appetite!
Decent food and great staff. The place to go for a good southern meal in a family setting. Make reservations because that place will be packed! Elbow to elbow seating!
Best chicken ever and the menu is easy to navigate
A unique experience for me, not being a southerner. I was surprised to know that they keep bringing you fried chicken until you say "no more". I will definitely be coming back again. The bread with apple butter is highly addictive.
Amazing service and amazing food
Atmosphere was totally fun. Service was impeccable
Fast and friendly service, but a relaxed dinner experience for the whole family. Come get some home cooking that you can't stop eating!
Always great food and great service!!!! I drive almost an hour just to go there.
Southern Food stop!!!! Menuless, bottomless chicken + sides served up with no fuss. The 40 minute commute was worth it.
For starters,, they serve yummy bean soup. The main course consists of the best fried chicken I've ever had, with sides of mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, coleslaw, green beans, homemade bread, butter and applesauce. All are outstandingly delicious, except the corn, which is canned, not frozen. If you have room to spare after eating this all-you-can-eat meal, the blackberry cobbler a la mode is to die for. The service here is great and staff very friendly. This restaurant is my favorite go-to place for a home cooked meal.
I love this restaurant! Everyone feels like they actually want to work there and are happy to help you. My order is always right. I never have any issues and go here often.
This place has an amazing atmosphere as well as great food and service! If you've never been here it's worth making the reservation and yes you'll need one. No stress on ordering you know what your going to have all you have to question is what to choose for dessert! And those are amazing as well. First time raver, but will definitely be making future reservations!
All you can say about this place is that if you haven't been..... You Got To Go! But you better make a reservation!
Family style served food, no menu. Everything is part of the meal. You need a reservation to get in, so plan ahead for a great dinner.
It was great. Too many pluses to name. Food was wonderful.
Amazing country cooking. The fried chicken is best I've ever had. Service was excellent. Defiantly coming back when I'm back in town
The food was great. Just a wonderful feel good family style meal. It was also very reasonably priced.
Family style dining done right! Requires a reservation. Food is prepared well but is a little bland.
Great food and family atmosphere!
Monte Ne in Rogers Arkansas is one of the BEST restaurants EVER!!!
Great food and super fast and friendly service.
Always a good time! No menu, Fried Chicken dinner! The bean soup is amazing! Price is well worth it. All you can eat! Save room for cobbler!
As far as food this place is just ok. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. As far as service our waitress seemed stressed out and quick with us the whole time. Now granted we were a party of 14, but that should have been her time to really shine because that is a lot of pockets to impress. I promise we are not a super needy group, we didn't ask for much other than a couple of refills. Unfortunately I did find a hair in my food, which kind of killed my opportunity to satisfy my appetite. Maybe it was a hair from my own collection but it didn't really appear familiar to me. All this being said there is always going to be someone that has a not so great experience. I would say that if you haven't ever tried Monte Ne you should give it a try. I personally have heard a lot of great reviews on this place, and was witness to the line of people, without reservations, waiting to get a table. So regardless of my ne saying, give it a try.
I was born & raised in NWA & had never eaten at Monte Ne until recently. It is fantastic!! I could get full off of just the bean soup alone! The chicken is delicious and everything is always hot & fresh! The staff is friendly and accomodating! I've gone twice now with my family & our two (messy) toddlers and they made us feel so welcome! *Be sure to call ahead to make a reservation, they are usually busy!
The food is outstanding. Served family style. The staff is great. If you go.....go hungry. You will leave full,full,full.
Obviously you want to come here for the fried chicken, which we enjoyed more than the sides.
It was great food great service can't wait to go back
You can't beat a home cooked meal and that's exactly what you get here! Absolutely delicious!
Great place to eat and visit with great friends
Seriously a lot of hype over mediocre food, but I still liked fur experience. Served family style, you get what they give, all you can eat. Nothing was fresh, likely canned vegetables and such. Place was packed, so definitely a popular place, maybe just not for us. Everyone was friendly, atmosphere was quaint. Dessert isn't included in the price, so just be aware before you order too much food.
Great service, friendly staff, excellent food.
Wonderful meal and service! We enjoyed eating there as usual!
This is some dowmhome grandma. Made it good all you want stuff
Great food..great service, and clean.
A gem
The bean soup was absolutely delicious! Actually, everything was pretty delicious. We didn’t have a long wait. Friendly staff, they work really hard and they are very attentive. Too bad you can’t take leftovers or they charge you a We will definitely be back!
Great place. Great food. Great time.
Great food! I've not experienced a restaurant like this before. There is no menu, they just start bringing you food as soon as you sit down. Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, etc. They will bring you as much as you want. You'll have to roll yourself to you car when you're done!
Great food and lots of it!
Went with family here for my wife's Dad and Moms anniversary. They had our reservation ready and promptly seated us. Very friendly staff. Very well prepared family style chicken dinner. Everyone in our party got all they could eat and we all agreed it was a pleasant experience! Thank you Monte Ne Chicken Inn.
One of my favorite places for chicken! Service is excellent and food is delicious every single time!
The food was so good and smthe service was fast and our waiter was amazing its all u can eat and for three people 3 deserts and 2 drinks we paid 53.00 The chocalate fudge cake was so delicious I wish I coukd stop back by before we leave but cant they are definitely on my list of places to come back too
Awesome place Great food and excellent service.
Best homestyle chicken feels like your just at home bring the whole family!
Outstanding food! Couldn't ask for anything to be better! Can't wait for my next visit.
Great place for a big group to go. Just call ahead. Chicken is the best... sides are alright.
For those looking for a historic, homestyle, Family dinning experience that reflects the area, culture and people that built Northwest Arkansas look no further. Sure you can look at it as dated but you’d be missing the point thou freshening up the place wouldn’t kill that vibe if done correctly. There is no menu, it’s a chicken dinner with all the trimmings, save for no cornbread (guess were not “that” far south) The bean soup is probably more legendary than the chicken. It’s fabulous and confusing all at the same time. I’ve never seen a bean “purée” before, almost a broth it’s so blended. The chicken is all you can eat and served family style with fresh bread, green beans, corn, coleslaw and mashed potatoes and gravy. Others have said it’s like Sunday dinner at grandmas. Apparently their grandmother couldn’t cook like mine! The chicken is good just a bit bland and dry. The potatoes obviously aren’t house-made and none of the sides are stand outs. However everything is good and as a whole makes for a nice meal. Service is ok with servers constantly running food and drinks to a usually packed house. The more experienced servers being better than the lesser so of course.
Always great, always delicious! Family style meal with all the fried chicken you can eat! They keep it classic, keep it simple, and serve what they do best fried chicken, mashed taters, green beans, corn, slaw, gravy, and cobler. Be sure to call ahead and make a reservation, they are always busy. Mmmmm so good! Thank you Monte ne chicken inn for all the great meals over the years. Don't ever change what your doing!
Awesome food and good people
Service was ok chicken was a little dry
