Great food. Great service. This will be a new go-to on our frequent road trips down I-44. At the Hen House you are warmly greeted. The food comes very quick considering it's fried chicken. Prices are so low! I had chicken and waffles with a side of Cole slaw. That was only 8.99. I normally pay $15 or more for less food. The chicken was delicious and you get two nice, hot waffles. You have a choice between tenders or bone in chicken with the waffles. My husband had both fried chicken and a bowl. He is super picky about fried chicken and gave it full approval. I will have a bowl next time because it was fantastic. And the biscuit is crazy good. They play music videos - great eclectic mix. Kind of a dive bar feel, but in the best way. If you are on I-44 by St Robert/Ft Leonard Wood it's worth the five minutes off the interstate it takes to get here. read more

This place is OUTSTANDING! My little guy said 100/10! The prices are reasonable, the portions are huge and the taste is unbelievable! We are in town for our son in laws graduation from Ft.

If we are ever here again and will be back for sure!! If you're here in town You Must!!! It is worth it! Phenomenal! read more

Bruh. The turkey bowl- There aren't even words for that. That was wild in all the best ways. The service was awesome. We came twice while visiting and both times it was fast and friendly. The inside has a fun vibe, but the food really was super impressive. Definitely recommend. read more

The St. Robert/Fort Leonardwood area has some pretty awesome restaurants. I wish I had a little more time to explore. This place came highly recommended by the locals. The day I visited, the proprietor was in. I was greeted warmly and since it was my first time in, I was given an explanation of the concept and their menu. This same service was provided by the counter worker and the food runners. You place your order at the front counter. The space has a divey feel and a little dark inside. They offer high and low top seating. I took a seat and waited for my meal. Now I realize that this place specializes in fried chicken. It's in the name and everything. But I was in the mood for fried catfish so that's what I got. If they have a handle on the chicken half as good as they do on the fish just be ready for a good meal. The fish is crispy and flaky. I got a bowl of greens and mashed potatoes for my sides. The greens were excellent. Good flavor and I just drizzled a little hot sauce on top. The mashed potatoes are equally delicious but the gravy is fire. Another patron sat down next to me and was kind enough to allow me to photograph his meal. The Nashville hot chicken bowl is his go to meal. Juicy chicken on a bed of macaroni and cheese. He adds double protein. read more

I got a farmhouse sandwich with red beans and rice for lunch. I like that I can choose the tender fried or grilled for the sandwich. Special sauce is a thousand island style, but not as sweet, plenty of sauce, this is not an eat in the car sandwich. I got grilled chicken, on my farmhouse, it was cook perfectly. The fried chicken looked amazing, I was trying to be a little healthier today. I liked the red beans and rice, nothing outrageous, but still good. I did take out, service is very friendly, and speed was acceptable. read more

The Hen House Fried Chicken - Farmhouse sandwich, red beans and rice with a drink. - Comfort Food Near Me - Saint Robert, Missouri

Ordered take out from The Hen House when I first arrived in town on Wednesday evening. The chicken is hands down the best I've ever had! My grandson is not a big meat eater and even he ate two pieces of chicken. The veggie jambalaya rice was flavorful. The mash potatoes and gravy were tasty. The fried okra and Mac n cheese were okay, I've had better. Overall a great dinner. read more

What a deal. We ordered the 12 pcs family meal. Came with 3 breast, 3 thighs, 3 drumsticks and 3 wings. Super juicy and well seasoned. The biscuits were the best biscuits I've ever had! As for the sides we got mash potatoes, coleslaw and sweet potato fries. The sides were just ok, I would definitely pass on the sweet potato fries next time. This is definitely enough food for 4-5 people. We really enjoyed it. read more

Great service and great food. The portions were big and came out fast. And the biscuits are fire, melt in your mouth! read more

The best honey-biscuit I've ever had!! So sad we were just visiting and not nearby anymore.

Always delicious and they have great deals with their daily specials. This is a repeat spot for me.

Absolutely amazing food!!!! Every time I've been here, the food is fresh and delicious! And the mashed potatoes are the best I've ever had. I happily drive over an hour to eat here every chance I get. read more

The server was friendly and the service was quick. I didn't really like the taste of the chicken but the biscuit was really good. I liked the vibe of the restaurant and the rubber duckies. The booths were pretty uncomfortable though and there weren't any tables for a big party. read more

I do like me some fried chicken. Now i like Popeyes fried spicy chicken but it's not always convenient to drive on post to pick up chicken so, my lunch and dinner stop for chicken is The Hen House. Great chicken for a decent price. Check them out today. read more

OMG! Why did I wait so long to try this place out?? I finally stopped by for lunch to take home. I wasn't sure how to order so I just told the young lady what I wanted and she hooked me up. The fried chicken was on point, not greasy, very tasty and still plenty warm by the time I got home. What made this meal even better where the mashed potatoes and biscuits. The mash had a special distinct flavor. Wife thinks they use yogurt in the blend. The biscuits were huge, beautiful crusty top with honey taste. Definitely going back! Place doesn't look like much from the outside but it's nice inside. Has quirky farmhouse feel that makes it a nice place to eat in. read more

We stopped at the Hen House on a road trip and were glad we did! It's a short drive away from the highway, but worth it! We each got the Mother Clucker sandwich, one buffalo and the other not, and it was delicious. The buffalo sauce was so good, I wish I could've bought a bottle! Service was fast and everyone working was super friendly. 10/10 recommend! read more

The poutine bowl w/grilled chicken is the absolute best grab-and-go in town! The bottled root beer is an added treat.

Cute place. Everything was amazing! Best fried chicken and catfish I've had in a while. Red beans and rice is a must. Biscuits are perfect. We had fried pickles as an appetizer but ate them before we thought to take a picture. Make sure you check this place out. We will definitely be coming back!! :) read more

Food and service were great! The fried chicken is the best I have ever had, hands down. The biscuits melt in your mouth and are so fluffy!

Absolutely stunned at how good this restaurant is. The food was excellent. I got a 3-piece fried chicken dinner with coleslaw, a biscuit and a soft drink. The biscuits are absolutely the best I've ever had. The chicken is probably in my top 2. The coleslaw wasn't my favorite but who cares when the main entree was so fantastic. I'm sure it was someone else's favorite. You order at the counter, so if service is not really totally applicable, the inside albeit not the fanciest was clean and has lots of seating. Even though you order at the counter they do take your food to you, and they actually came around and checked to see if ever was okay and to see if we needed anything. Friendly people, smiles and the best food. Wish I had this place near me. I'd be a regular. read more

Chicken was good, Mac good, just good food. It is also has a bar attached, friendly ... now yelp wants more words to post my review... so that's it. read more

Absolutely no reason this food should be as inexpensive as it is, my new favorite chicken joint. I placed a very last minute order before closing (sorry btw) never having ate here, not knowing much but the associate over the phone was very helpful. More food than I thought! Couldn't even finish it all. Ate the left overs next day and it was still just as good. I love it, thank you 11/10 read more

Asked me to be ready at 6:22 showed up at 6:25 and waited and asked where my food was a few times. She ran around and I'm not even sure she looked for my food. She checked the food warmer in the corner at 7:00 and found it finally and tried to play it off as if someone just put it in there. Got to the vehicle and found that we were still missing about half our order and brought it back in. Manager asked if I wanted a refund or my food back which seems pretty crazy to me because I never asked for options. We ordered our food at 6 and waited till 7:15 out in the parking lot before they finally got it right. Also noticed other peoples orders were coming back in for missing things like half gallons of sweet tea and other food and drink. Always check your food when getting it from here. read more

Too salty. Not great but there aren't many other options in that town. It's a town with an army base and it only exists because of it

At Ft Leonard Wood for training. Found this little mom and pop chicken hut. If you live good fried chicken I would highly recommend this place. Food 5*. Best fried chicken I've ate. Mashed potatoes and gravy were also the best. Atmosphere 3* restaurant was kind of a dive. Little hole in the wall. For being a dive I'd give it a 4*. Cleanliness 3* average. Again for a diner and dive I'd give it a 4*. Service 4*. The people working there were really nice. When you come in you order at the bar and then take a seat. Food was prompt but yet fresh. You could tell it was cooked when it was ordered and not put in a warmer. Price Really good pricing. The 8 piece meal is big enough to feed three adults or two adults and two children. Spent $28. read more

Gr8 Food! Service was extraordinary! The music videos were quite entertaining (Chris Stapleton). Oh snap, how was the food? FRIKIN AMAZING!

Their fried chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside and has a juicy, flavorful inside. The biscuit is delicious with a honey glaze. The place is clean and the workers are friendly. They always mention their daily specials. read more

This is a quaint little out-of-the-way spot, but the chicken is tremendous. We have been here several times, and we have never been disappointed you order at the counter, and then your food is brought to the table very quickly.. read more

Amazing food and one of the cheapest + most food we got on our road trip. $40 including a tip got us more than enough food for 4 people. Delicious chicken, shrimp, and hush puppies! Next to a smokey bar so be sure to sit across the room from the registers. read more

It was so good we went back the next day. You feel like family as soon as you walk in the door. We had the chicken, fried catfish, string beans, tomatoes corn and okra (succotash), Honey BBQ sandwich, fried okra, sweet potato fries, and chicken biscuit sliders. This was within two days and when I tell you the food was amazing trust me. Husband had the lemon pepper seasoning on his fish and the tartar sauce my goodness! read more

The Hen House Fried Chicken - Menu - Comfort Food Near Me - Saint Robert, Missouri

Sometimes the prices don't make sense, but the food is delicious! Great deals for the whole family.

We took a delivery of fried chicken, chicken tenders, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, biscuits, and fried catfish home. We live quite far from here so I wasn't expecting it to be as great as when you eat there but I really really enjoyed it. Even after it sitting in boxes for the drive (about 25 min). They fill their side containers up to the max. You're definitely getting your money's worth of food. We have plenty of leftovers between the three of us. Chicken was flavorful, the hush puppies were absolutely delicious. One thing I really liked but my son wasn't too keen on was the gravy. It's a different taste but it's something I enjoyed as it wasn't the same ol' same ol'. Almost has an Italian herb flavor? The biscuits have a wonderful honey glaze...Anyways, much better than the chain chicken places or the ones in gas stations around here. We will be back! read more

Delicious chicken, and love the sides. The gravy is a bit too heavy on the spice; lose a taste of the mash because it's all flavor town on the gravy. Coleslaw needs salt to bump it. The spice is a bit much for my kiddo, so we have to alter the dinner plans. These are all nitpick preferences, this is the chicken to eat! read more
