Meet Chef Jarrod Ante: The Heart Behind the Kitchen
At the helm of our kitchen is Executive Chef Jarrod Ante, a culinary craftsman whose journey from military service to restaurant leadership brings a unique blend of discipline, creativity, and soul to every dish. With decades of experience and a passion for cooking rooted in his homestead lifestyle, Chef Jarrod leads with a philosophy of honesty, quality, and connection.
"Ms. Lei Lei’s is all about keeping it simple," says Chef Jarrod. "We're here to serve the best and do it right."
Beyond the kitchen, Jarrod and his wife Susan raise animals and grow their own food — a way of life that fuels the flavors of our menu and inspires our mission. Every meal reflects that same homestead ethos: real ingredients, real stories, and real heart.
Simple Food, Done Exceptionally Well
We keep it simple — and we do it right. Our specialty? Hand-breaded chicken fingers and sandwiches, made fresh to order using only the highest-quality ingredients. No frozen shortcuts, no mystery meat — just honest food packed with flavor and care.
And it doesn’t stop there. From our hand-cut fries to our homemade jumbo onion rings, every item on our menu is made with the same attention to detail and devotion to freshness. It's comfort food the way it was meant to be — bold, satisfying, and from scratch.
More Than Just a Restaurant
At its core, Ms. Lei Lei’s Chicken is about bringing people together. Whether you're stopping in for lunch, picking up dinner for the family, or introducing a friend to your new favorite chicken sandwich, you're not just a guest — you're part of the story.
We’re proud to be a family-owned, community-rooted restaurant that delivers food you can feel good about, in a place that feels like home.
