Amazing homemade Italian dinner and dessert.
Delicious food and very friendly staff. Go for dinner and try the Chicken Parmesan trio! It’s out of this world! Chicken Parm with marinara, pesto, and vodka sauce. Comes with a salad and spaghetti so you have plenty of food for the next day.
Crooked Hen has been our go to for breakfast since they’ve opened. We have never had bad service or a bad meal. Tonight was their soft opening for their dinner menu, and when i say it was delicious, i mean it. The inside is beautifully designed and their food is always immaculate. Highly recommend!!
I brought my daughters there for breakfast yesterday. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and the staff very pleasant! We were especially surprised to see Mike from Romeo’s there; my youngest daughter went and told him hello, and he is always so friendly!!
I’ve traveled all over the untied states and I must have dined in over 100 diners, searching for that perfect breakfast. After years of travel and reviewing breakfast spots, I found my heart restaurant. A place I know I’ll think about quite often through my lifetime until I’m able to come back once again. The crooked hen is a quiet little establishment right in the heart of the hills of Pennsylvania. I love them so much my first try, I came back a second day in a row. My firet try, I ordered the lox on the NY bagel. You get a GIANT portion of smoked salmon, kapers, cream cheese and fresh tomatoes. Absolutely decadent. The salmon was perfectly smoked and still fresh, which is hard to achieve considering the cost of this ingredient. The crooked hen nailed it. The lox and bagel were better than anything I’ve ever had in New York and honestly, New York could learn a lesson on portion from this place! My second try, I got the crab cake eggs Benedict with hash browns covered in cheese, peppers and onions. WOWZA! The immense burst of flavor out of that first bite of crab cake blew my mind. Incredibly fresh, not too fishy and light! The HOUSE MADE hollandaise sauce was thick yet creamy and perfectly balanced. Most places serve “gritty” hollandaise sauce because it’s been over cooked, set in a heat tray for too long or over heated during the cooking process. The poached eggs were actually poached too! Which is quite impressive because most restaurants choose to fry eggs for eggs Benedict because poaching an egg is hard to perfect. The crooked hen nailed that too!!! Considering eggs Benedict is what I always obsess with over during my travels! I’ll be DREAMING of those decedent crab cakes for the rest of my life! The hash browns were also perfectly crisped and the peppers they layed on top were perfectly cooked and perfectly sweet to off set the savory. Again, I’ll be dreaming about this dish for the rest of my life!! In to the staff and establishment: PERFECT. The facility is incredibly clean and the staff is so clearly well taken care of by management as the waitress I got two days in a row was a soft spoken and polite young lady. The crooked hen is so incredibly lucky to have this young lady!!! She was quick to serve, she was quick to make sure I was taken care of during my entire dining experience. (both days). I plan to come back over the summer on a personal trip. That’s how good this place is. No wonder they’ve been voted best lunch. (Even though I got breakfast items during lunch, there’s a good reason for that too! - DELICIOUS!) Bravo, crooked hen. Bravo.
You must try the Crooked Hen! Came in on a whim for breakfast and just found my new spot. Nice contemporary atmosphere, food is fantastic, service is great. Highly recommend!!!

This place is seriously good, The decor, the service, and the food were excellent. Coming back soon to try out their lunch menu, and if its half as good as their breakfast menu, it's going to be delicious. I had the steak frites with sunny side up eggs, fries, and sourdough bread. It's a bit on the pricier side, but the value for the money spent is there. Julia was our server, and she had an excellent attitude, super nice, and got our food out to us promptly, while making sure we were stocked on drinks, so that we could focus on the food and conversation

We just went in for the first time because we heard about their gluten free waffles, pancakes, and French toast. The place was very nice and decorated well, we were welcomed immediately with warm welcomes. We sat down and ordered pancake tacos and I got a gluten free banana chocolate chip pancake. We also got bacon and potatoes with cheese on them. The food was fantastic, best coffee and pancakes I’ve ever had since going gluten free. Our waitress was also amazing. Her name was Stacey, and she was funny and liked to talk with us. She gave us good recommendations to make the whole experience amazing.
We will defiantly come back and hopefully when my boyfriend and I aren’t crippling college students in debt, we will become regulars because that was the best breakfast I’ve ever had anywhere
Dietary restrictions: I am Celiac, so I am gluten free. I get really bad abdominal pains and a tight throat everytime I eat gluten. They were very kind and made sure no cross contamination occurred with my gluten free items. Still made the gluten free pancakes delicious even if they aren’t actual pancakes they tasted like real pancakes. I’m so happy they have gluten free items, it’s so hard to find good gluten free items.

I recently just moved from NYC to PA although I love everything about the area. I have been looking to find a place to give me the same atmospheric feeling and aura as I would have found in New York. The breakfast and brunch is outstanding the staff is splendid I met the owner Mike and George. Just amazing people. Thank you for serving our town the best breakfast and brunch.

Food was delicious.
Neat building, but loud.
Butternut squash soup was brought out 10 minutes after my quesadilla, so I took it home. It did not heat well.
