About this spot

Chicken Stop Inc on South Phillips Road is Lanett's most celebrated locally owned chicken restaurant — a 4.1-star establishment from 329 reviews where the Rooster Sauce has been described as the best in the area by a food enthusiast with 8 million views who has eaten across the country, and where the grilled chicken option sets it apart from the typical Alabama fried-only chicken operation. The restaurant is a community institution that has been feeding the Chambers County area for years.

The fried chicken is the core menu item: well-done, flavorful, with a satisfying crust. The grilled chicken is the pleasant surprise — genuinely good rather than an afterthought, and an uncommon option in the area. The Rooster Sauce is the restaurant's signature condiment and the item that food travelers come specifically for. The chicken sandwich combo is delicious and one of the smarter call-ahead orders for those who want the food ready hot. Catfish is available as an alternative to chicken. The kitchen operates on a made-to-order basis, which means food comes out properly prepared — with the smart strategy being a call-ahead order to minimize waiting time in the dining room.

Open Monday through Saturday from 10:30 AM to 8:30 PM. Closed Sunday. A Lanett chicken institution that earns its 4-star rating through a combination of quality food, the signature Rooster Sauce, and genuine community loyalty.
