    Literally the best surprise I've had in a while. We were in the area after a hike and decided to treat ourselves to breakfast. Wow! Cooked and served to perfection. The best pancakes I've ever had and our server was amazing and sweet! We dont live nearby but are looking for an excuse to return very soon!

    First time here. Food: There was a menu board near the entrance showing several holiday themed items, including pumpkin spiced pancakes and waffles. I like a good waffle, and they had a couple of variations on the menu. I asked if it was Belgian style, with the deep pockets to capture all that extra butter and syrup, and it was. It came out nice and hot. For me it was a bit too soft, as I tend to like my waffles cooked a little crispier, similar to how I like my potato pancakes. Still very tasty. My friend ordered the House Omelet, which was also very good. Service: Everyone was super friendly and helpful. As soon as I arrived, they acknowledged me and let me know I could sit anywhere. They were patient while we chatted and were not focused on the menu right away. Great service throughout the entire meal. They kept checking in to make sure I had hot water for my tea and refills of coffee. Thanks, Symara (sp?). Atmosphere: The place is small and cozy, with a counter, tables, and booths. It was about half full, with individuals and pairs spread throughout the room. You could tell this is a spot with regulars, as people were chatting between tables. The decor was festive with holiday decorations. There is a TV on the wall showing the morning news, but it did not appear to have the volume on. Near the entrance there are a couple of video poker machines. I am not a fan of those. I find them distracting to look at and annoying when someone is playing them. Overall, a good experience, and I would stop again.

    I love visiting local diners and was lucky enough to find this one along the way. It was great the food was pretty good and prices very fair IMO it did take longer than usual to get the food but it felt fresh and it was hot so worth it for me ,service was awesome our waitress was very attentive and our coffee never fell below half a cup. Seating is limited and it looks like it's in high demand so it might take a minute to get seated be prepared and patient . All in all a great little diner with that homemade feel (try the country fried steak it's awesome)

    Great to see the Hen House open again, better than before!. A nice face lift, the food was a good value and Lisa's service was top notch. The best place in the area for breakfast and lunch. You will not be disappointed. As a follow up: the chicken fried steak was awesome! A great breakfast value for $11.50!
