I was extremely hungry upon my arrival I ordered the garden omelette it was more plentiful that I expected just the amount of vegetables that I expected and more when I asked for items that were not at the calendar Victoria my waitress what stop what she was doing and being very helpful to fill my needs.
Across the highway you can see the railroad tracks which I love to watch freight trains pass by enjoying my breakfast being waited on from Victoria and the atmosphere of being in a country kitchen coffee shop and seeing a few freight trains pass by made my entire trip to the Red hen Cafe was a wonderful experience.
I promised Victoria I would return back again very soon reason why is the food is wonderful the guest of the restaurant seem to know one another being Small Town place to come enjoy the food and say hello to fellow neighbors I am looking forward to turning back once again and enjoy what I experienced I highly recommend spending great quality time and enjoy what I experienced thank you Victoria for being a wonderful waitress and fulfilling my needs.
One thing more before I close the dishwasher I did not get her name I said good morning she looked at me with a smile as if I was the only one at the restaurant a very pleasant including the other waitress forecast me I don't remember her name she too was very pleasant thank you Red hen Cafe personnel employees for making my stay and visit worth coming back again soon 🔜

We stopped here as our planned diner stop on Route 66 was closed . The cafe is very clean, service was excellent and portions were huge - do try and share as a lot got wasted. I have an English palette so although I love sweet potato fries at home I had not anticipated them to be so sweet as they were ( think they had icing sugar on them and syrup provided ) which made them inedible to me personally however the chicken and beef burgers were great.
Our first visit. Extremely busy, yet the staff are very efficient. Good food, lots of choices.

This cafè was THE BEST stop off we did in the US we did the whole coast of California and i will most definatley go back, the food was tip top to perfection and the service extrordinary. It also had that real feel of the wild west and we certainly found the American dream there. Hope to be back soon.x
The Red Hen is a Must Have!!! We are from Philadelphia and traveled Route 66 and found the hidden Gem in our travels. I cannot express how delicious our food was!! Our waitress Lynette was amazing very helpful and so sweet!! We will definitely be back as soon as we get a chance!! I would leave 10 stars if I could !!!

Breakfast and lunch fan favorite 😍 all of their menu items are a burst of home cooked favorites. All delicious. Must try their monte cristo sandwich, country fried chicken skillet, meatloaf, the pumkin and banana bread. The staff are very sweet and attentive. This place is always full but never a long wait for a table. The establishment is clean and the cutest vintage farm decor theme.

Great food and must stop on route 66
Arrived back in town on 8/13 and have been here for breakfast 3-4 times.
The food and service is excellent.
The owner, Bree has done a great job in not only maintaining the quality and variety of the food but has managed to put her personality stamp on this cafe. From the exterior paint to the interior decor. A nice reflection of her and the well established team she has here.
We haven't been able to see Teresa since she's out on maternity leave but we have been thoroughly taken care of on each and every visit.
