Best of the Best Local Dining

Babe's Chicken House  |  200 South Main St

Being the best is not an easy task, but Babe's Chicken House does deliver. Fun Fact: The Cedar Hill location is a remodel of the Cedar Hill City Hall. It started out as a fire station in 1962 with 3 engine bays. In 1987 the fire station operations relocated and the building began its second life as City Hall.  In the southwest corner of the building, there is a monument built to honor the building’s previous service. A series of radio towers that were on the building when they began construction once transmitted for police and fire operations for many years, and we kept them in their original glory as a monument.

If you want a great down-home chicken meal with all of the fixins, Babe's is the place to be!
