It is the kind of dish that easily stands out on the menu, and I would confidently order it on every visit. The beer selection on tap was also impressive, with Maine Lunch being a particular highlight. It was a great complement to the food and reflected a well-curated draft list that beer enthusiasts will appreciate. Equally notable was the welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, contributing to an overall experience that felt relaxed and enjoyable. Combined with the inviting vibe of the space, Hen House leaves a strong impression. I look forward to returning again soon.

The venue was hosting or accommodating a Marine birthday party. The server was overwhelmed and busy. Understandable. I too have been in that situation. We were patient & kind;m; even commenting that she was alone & working hard. When we were able to order food, we did. And again, waited patiently. Once we saw people who arrived & ordered after us, be served their food, we inquired with the server (who now had help, owner included). She ran to the kitchen & came back, dropped food and disappeared. We never received silverware or napkins. Food was cold, very cold. Almost as if it was pulled from the refrigerator. HERE, is the real issue. We didn't eat the food. Server never asked about the food. Only asked if we were cashing out. When we said "yes", she pretty much threw the bill at us. We asked for take out containers, they were "flung" at us. She acted as if we had been offensive somehow.

Really pretty view, especially if you're looking to sit outside. We ended up at the bar, which was fine since we wanted the full bar experience. The vibe inside leans biker themed with an energetic but laid back atmosphere. TVs at the bar were showing sports and game shows, and even though it was mid afternoon and not super busy, there was a fun mix of people chatting and hanging out. Beer selection was decent, and the bartender recommended the buffalo chicken pizza. It took a little longer than expected to come out, but we didn't mind since we were enjoying our drinks. When it arrived, it was piping hot, cheesy, and flavorful. The buffalo sauce had just the right amount of kick without being overwhelming. My only wish: a bit more chicken on top. We also ordered a basket of fries, which looked like steak fries but were actually nicely crispy and had great texture. Perfect for snacking with drinks. Overall, this is a great casual spot for grabbing a beer and some solid bar food. Next time, I definitely want to sit out on the patio and enjoy that water view. I'll be back!

They were bad too. She never did come back. Had another waitress come by to take our order. Got that in and ordered a Coke. Coke had hardly any ice, I asked her 3 times as she walked by for more ice. She never acknowledged me. So we left $5 on the table and walked out. The woman at the door ran out after us like we were crooks and asked if we paid our bill. I told her we never had one and no one wanted to help us. She had a dumb look on her face that matched her personality. So we went across the street to the pizza place. Much better. My recommendation to the waitress is to take the $5 and buy yourself a personality.

Wings: Smoked but didn't have that smoked wing taste or feel. They were definitely tender and moist, but definitely not crisp. My sauce (sesame honey sriracha) was a nice blend with a little heat and sweet, with neither dominating. Sesame was AWOL. Not bad, but the lack of crispness lost a chance to impress more. Smoked Brisket and Chorizo Chili: A small-ish serving somewhat concealed by the thick, droopy layer of cheese stretching across the top of the crock. Really nice flavor from the chorizo and peppers, but I didn't notice a smoke presence. Despite the crumbled bits of meat, more of a heated salsa feel than chili. Again, not bad, but nothing I'd get again. The Holburger: Now THIS one came through in flying colors. So rare in these days of smashburger dominance to see a thick burger (they do smashburgers too), and this was exceptionally juicy and brought good flavor from the brisket/shortrib blend and the grill itself. Bacon was only slightly crisp, but that's how I want it on a burger. Potent blue cheese. All of the flavors blended really nicely. Bun a white-bready version of brioche. A gigantic pile of fries (I think hand-cut) had the right crispness and droopiness. And to make it even better, on weekdays from noon to 4pm this burger-and-fries plate, with the addition of a draft beer is a dollar LESS. Good burger, good deal. Mixed bag so far, but that burger will bring me back to try more. Though they seem to be a little understaffed, service was friendly on two separate visits.
