Well....we gave it a try!
There are very few restaurant options on the lonely stretch of highway my friend and I were traveling. We passed the Hen House on the way to our destination and I made a mental note: That place looks awesome! We decided to stop on our way home.
It says that they have a gift shop, but I wouldn't really call it that. It was more like an alcove full of empty shelves with a few random truck stop junk items left over from years past. The dining area is extremely small. Luckily there was a booth open so we didn't have to wait. Our service was wonderful!! But wonderful service can't save the food.
My friend had a bit of a problem choking on her chicken strips, she said they were too dry. I thought I was going to have to do the Heimlich. I ordered a chicken salad because of some dietary restrictions. There wasn't really anything else I could order, so I gave it a shot. I definitely could have made better myself at home. Strangely enough they had wonderful cole slaw.
The rest of the menu was pretty much just diner food - lots of fried chicken options, sandwiches, breakfast food. Nothing was really a signature dish....just food you'd find at any other hole in the wall greasy spoon.
