    Dear Parker cousins wishing me a Happiest 60th  Birthday!!!!
    G. C.

    I celebrated my 60th Birthday brunch here with Family & Friends on December 3rd...It was a nice ambiance and the food menu was pretty good. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits it was delicious! Bon Appetit'

    Pumpkin seed pesto pasta with steak

    First, the service was wonderful and our waitress did ask my husband to check his steak before she left us so he could make sure it was cooked the way he wanted. He had ordered a medium rare New York Strip but it came raw and cold in the middle. They cooked it more for him but it also had some hard grizzle and unrendered fat. He also chose the seasonal grilled veggies as one of his sides and what you see is what he got, 2 slices of zucchini and 1 slice of squash...it was kind of absurd. Brussel sprouts were delicious, however, he definitely felt like his meal was not worth the cost. The beef empanada appetizer and my pumpkin pesto pasta with steak were delicious. We also got key lime pie for dessert and it was more of a tart and very small. Not sure the dessert was worth the cost either. The restaurant was almost completely empty while we were there as most people were upstairs in the bar area watching a football game. Overall, our experience was a bit disappointing but it was okay.

    I've been wanting to try Wicked Hen since last year and we finally enjoyed them last month. My son had yet another military graduation and we celebrated over brunch. This may be one of my favorite restaurants in Columbus. The food was sooooo yummy! I started with a mimosa and we shared the fried green tomatoes and an order of deviled eggs. I had the shrimp and grits (because, well... shrimp and grits are my all time FAV!) and my son had the chicken tendies. My Mom enjoyed a salad. Our meal was absolutely outstanding. Service was great! Highly recommend.

    Steak Pesto Pasta Lunch Deep South Duck Egg Rolls Brunch

    Went on a Sunday and it was not really busy. Only about two other parties. The food did take a long time to get to us. Once we got it, it wasn'5 really all that great. I would rate the food about 3/5. The spot is very cute to come sit and chat. They also have a chessboard with some chairs. I probably would not visit again.

    Shrimp and Grits Brunch

    I dropped in for lunch today and found the place delightful. Simple ambiance, solid food. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits, which was served with spinach and garlic bread. The server was attentive. I'll definitely go back to try the Duck Egg Rolls. I also hear they have a lamb burger on the dinner menu, which is right up my alley.

    To visit on a Wednesday around 1:15 pm and walk into an establishment with two other guests present was quite surprising. When I left at 1:40 pm, there were still only three guests and that included MUAH! I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty and filling the shrimp and grits were. Because there weren't many patrons present, I didn't expect to wait long and I didn't. I would usually order a glass of wine or mimosa; however, I was on a lunch break and I don't drink on the job. I didn't know this establishment was open for brunch on Saturdays and Sundays so I look foreword to returning, and honestly, it doesn't matter if the place is packed or empty. I have more dishes to try and I think this would be a great location to host a meet up!

    Valentines Dinner for Two. Enjoyed the ambiance, delicious food and drinks. The Scallops wrapped in Bacon was Awesome. Kudos to the Chef!! Ask for Terri to serve you. She is not only very attentive but just a very pleasant, down to earth waitress. Made us feel right at home!!! Thanks Wicked Hen

    Filet with crab cake
    Ben J.

    This was a great homey place that felt more like a home. There was a nice selection of items on both the food and drink menu. The waitress was very friendly and offered the special, which was a 6oz filet and crab cake with pasta and zucchini. The sear on the steak was nice, and the crab cake was tender and sizeable. Overall, it's a good place for a quiet dinner out.

    This place was absolutely amazing!!! Dined here with my mom and she loved it even more than me! We ordered the salmon special and the food was some of the best fish I've ever had. My server Anjaly was super kind and quick so I give the service a 10/10. Plus the ambiance or the "vibe" and younger people say was really cute. It's a clean southern kinda vibe I guess. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

    Deviled egg with mini bagels
    David T.

    My wife and I visited Wicked Hen for the first time on a recent date night. The restaurant is nice, but they seem to be suffering from the labor shortage. We ate upstairs, which was a bit chilly, and even though it was less than half-full, there were delays because there was only one person working the entire floor. He was a new employee and nice but obviously frazzled. The food itself was good but pricey, which was not unexpected. We had the pumpkin seed encrusted trout and chicken Marsala, along with deviled egg mini-bagels. All were very good, but the chicken portion left my wife hungry. My wife also loved the Water Moccasin drink, while I liked the Porch Pounder. At $14, the drinks were very expensive for a 4-ounce glass. It's definitely a special occasion place. Hopefully, they can get their labor difficulties resolved so that the outing can be even more special.

    While visiting my old stomping grounds I realized how much the city has grown, especially in terms of food choices. I decided on Wicked hen mainly because of the starters. They definitely caught my eye. The two I chose for lunch were the pork belly and the duck egg rolls. The duck egg rolls were spot on. Very flavorful With a hint of spice. The pork belly was also flavorful the okra helped cut through the richness. The 1 of 4 of the pork belly serving was a bit too well done, but overall a great dish. I would definitely come back and try other dishes

    Picture of the supposed hashbrowns

    They charged us $22 for 2 pancakes, eggs and bacon. They gave us a forced gratuity of 22% when their policy says 20% and for parties of 6 or greater. We had 5 people. I would have tipped but that was annoying. On top of it their hash-browns don't qualify as food. It's like so thin and crispy that it legit looked like bird's nest. It didn't taste like food. I felt like I was eating hay and I didn't want to ask for a replacement because it took them an hour to bring our food out.

    LOVED this place. Had my cocktail NA. They were super accommodating and our server was extremely…read moreknowledgeable about the menu. Very clearly took pride in the food. Was told by my colleagues that the Parker house rolls and cinnamon butter was great. I had the summer salad (spring greens, cherries, strawberries, and a HUGE knot of burrata cheese, with an additional grilled salmon). This salad was incredible. Highly recommend! The table shared some deviled eggs. The pickled onions on the deviled eggs was so good. Everyone dipped their fries in the chili crisp oil and agreed it was one of the best flavor combos of the trip. Our server gave us an extra side of it and gave my friend a side of kimchi to add to his burger. Just great all around service and vibe. While the restaurant feels like the height of 2015-2020 design (let's road trip in our sprinter van to a shipping container cottage!), everything feels airy and good to be there

    Later that Wednesday evening, as the restaurant settled into a softer, more intimate glow, we opted…read morefor the main dining room rather than the rooftop. The hostess was warm and efficient, seating us immediately. Our server approached with the quiet confidence of someone who knows her craft--she was direct, professional, and all business in the best possible way. Even as closing time drew near, she kept my glass refreshed without needing to be asked, a small but telling detail that spoke volumes about her attentiveness. The space itself strikes a pleasant semi-formal note--clean, polished, and respectful without veering into stuffy territory. Behind the bar, the bartender was meticulously wiping down every bottle, a quiet display of care that set a tone of genuine pride in the operation. We began with a dozen oysters: six raw and six char-grilled. The raw specimens were on the petite side for the price, yet delivered a clean, bright, and pleasantly saline flavor that let the oyster speak for itself. The char-grilled version arrived with a savory Parmesan crust that brought its own appealing character--rich, cheesy, and nicely caramelized in a way that felt unique rather than derivative. The crab dip, however, was a standout. Far superior to the often disappointing versions we've encountered elsewhere, this one tasted of genuine lump crab meat, folded into a properly cheesy, indulgent dip that avoided any unfortunate "buffalo" detours. Served with crisp crostini, each bite was balanced and deeply satisfying--an authentic crab dip done right. The Korean cheesesteak offered an excellent harmony of flavors: tender, well-seasoned meat beneath a luxurious blanket of melted cheese, punctuated by the bright, spicy kick of kimchi and the refreshing snap of pickles. It was delicious, though for the price, I wished for a more generous filling and a bit more heft to the sandwich overall. The mac & cheese arrived in a commendably generous portion, with a beautiful Parmesan crust on top. Visually appealing, the dish unfortunately fell a touch flat on the palate. The noodles were properly cooked and coated in a creamy sauce, yet it lacked the depth and seasoning one hopes for-- a pinch more salt and pepper would have elevated it considerably. The fish and chips presented a towering mound of fries that carried decent flavor but lacked the shattering crispness one craves. The real disappointment lay in the presentation of the fish: two fillets stacked atop one another, causing the steaming heat to turn the once-promising breading soggy and prone to sliding off. That said, the fish itself was excellent--flaky, moist, and delicately sweet with a lovely buttery quality. It was the unfortunate interaction between steam and crust that kept the dish from greatness. The roads were a little dense, so not necessarily my particular style, but I'm good. The butter that came with them was very unique to say the least. To drink, both beers arrived filled to the absolute brim and proved so enjoyable that I would gladly order them again without hesitation. Overall, the evening delivered solid, thoughtful plates in a well-run environment, with several bright spots that make a return visit tempting--particularly for those oysters and that excellent crab dip.

They check on us now and then letting us know how long the food will take since they are short on staff and have a couple of large parties before us.

The brisket on my waffle have to add a lot of maples in order to make them moisture, the good thing about the meal is the meat portion are very generous and flavorful.

She did not tell me there was an up-charge for a side of ranch for my fries which I probably would not have asked for since, as you can see from my small plate I ate only about 5 fries. The atmosphere is very relaxed. The bathrooms were not very clean and our table was a bit dirty. We used sanitized napkins and they were dirty after wiping our table. The food was really good which is why I gave it 4 stars. The meat was tender and very tasty. The fries were very good as well. This place could be a five star but due the above mentioned issues with cleanliness and up charge, I could not bring myself to a five star review.

The interior has been very well remodeled, with a bar, plenty of seating and a new restroom. It's very beautiful. When we arrived we were the only party there, although when we were eating another party joined. It was nice to have the space mostly to ourselves. But besides the interior the food is delicious as well. We ordered the crab cake appetizers first. They come with two fairly large crab cakes, with a nice spicy sauce and lemons to squeeze. They were delicious. As someone who doesn't each much sea food, the crab tasted very good especially with the sauce and lemon juice. Our server JR, was very attentive to our needs, checking in frequently and making sure we got everything we needed. I personally ordered the Shrimp and Broccoli Alfredo with a side of Mac and cheese. Others in our party had the Pork Chop, Salmon and Chicken Marsala. My Alfredo and chicken was one of the best I've ever had. The noodles were the perfect consistency and the Alfredo sauce was delicious. It went extremely well with the chicken. I tried a bit of the salmon and it tasted pretty good as well. Overall everyone was satisfied with their meal. The max was delicious, it actually comes with bits of bacon which is a nice surprise. For dinner we had peach cheesecake and chocolate lava cake. Although the peach cheesecake was good the lava cake stole the show. The chocolate was so rich and paired with the vanilla it was definitely one of the best I've ever had. Definitely would recommend.
