Hen House Family Restaurant

This place was great from top to bottom. Food was absolutely delicious, super fast, large portions. The service was spot on, my coffee cup never went low

If you’re in the area, go to the Hen House for breakfast. This family run place is authentic and the food is literally served up hot and fresh. The portion sizes are very filling - you won’t leave hungry. The decor is kitschy with hens, farm and country. There is a small gift snip tucked in the corner with books, small home decor items and candy. Pictured below: waffle, bacon omelet (stuffed with bacon), hash browns and biscuits and the short stack of blueberry pancakes (real blueberries).

Very nice place with super friendly staff, great breakfast and lunch menu. Absolutely 5 star place, thank you!

The walls were filthy with old splattered food, it smelled, you could see deep cleaning is not part of their routine there. The food was generic and all the staff kept discussing was they couldn't wait for 2o'clock, closing time...

We went to the hen house outside of Springfield, Illinois. We the the daily special of fried fish and fries. It was very good. Service was good. Would go back.

The food is good and portions sizeable. I would give a higher rating if the bathrooms hadn't been so dirty and cold. In the middle of a pandemic someone should be able to wash their hands in a relatively clean place. The food did come out super fast and it was all fresh and tasted good.

Food was very delicious. The bacon had good flavor and thwie biscuits and gravy were fulfilling. The coffee cups on the table were dirty so we had to request a different set. Their milk creamer was also expired. The service wasn't too great, but the food was delicious.

So a little bit longer review this time because this place is fantastic!! Was driving home to visit my mother and we got hungry and decided to pick an exit to stop and grab lunch. I'm usually Cracker Barrel girl. If there's one I always go but this time I saw a hen house as well and decided let's try something new. I'm sooooo glad. First off the small town vibe and interior decorated like I remember most kitchens being back when I grew up was so cool down to the upside down coffee cups already at each place setting.Secondly the food was perfect! The home fries were fresh and crispy, bacon was literally perfection and scrambled eggs were soft and fluffy and omg the biscuits and gravy ? I met the chef and thanked him for the most comforting perfectly cooked breakfast I had found in years. Our waitress was sweet and loved the service. I can't recommend this hen house enough!!!!

Good food, cooks just need to make sure stuff is HOT that's supposed to be hot and waitresses should ALWAYS be double checking plates for accuracy. Nice staff.

Hadn't been in 4-5yrs (craving chicken and remembered my parents loved the Hen House). Chicken, fish and mushrooms were fantastic! Service was great also. The only complaint (why not 5stars) was the sides weren't the best. Bread had way too much yeast? Green beans bland and Tatar sauce a little off. But still will be back again

1th time for me their I was staying at motel 6 . When to breakfast to pick up it was good I didn't see the what els they serve usually im don't a morning guy. I was almost still sleepy ? but I was hungry ? I'll say give them a visit I had eggs and breakfast stack ? was testy

Was a good breakfast. In all honesty how can anybody mess up waffles and pancakes?! The outside decor was pretty great the inside should be updated a little.

food's good just to understand they have big fans running your food gets cold before you get to eat it it didn't used to be like that

Cozy little diner. The waitress' are super nice and attentive. Would eat here again.

The Hen House is a tad bit small. Seating is cramped the table that we had was dirty the waitress that we had brought us our drinks and after 30 min. of waiting she brought us our food. No drink refills for us we had to ask for silverware and that was the last we seen of her. Now the food was ok not as hot as I like but it was ok.
