Hen House Restaurant - Restaurant in Frostburg - 18072 National Pike, USA

Food was delicious. We had the crab dip appetizer, seafood pasta salad and crab cakes with roasted potatoes. Everything was delicious and our sever Daphne was the best. Can't wait to go back. I didn't take a picture of the crab dip appetizer but it was delicious as well. Also get the balsamic dressing for your salad you won't be disappointed!

We had dinner here on March 24, 2023. Beautiful clean restaurant. Our sharp server Kristen arrived with a big smile and exuberant hospitality. We ordered the fish and chips and fried chicken. Food was hot, fresh and delicious. Service was excellent. We love Frostburg and The Hen House is a can’t miss when in the area. Bill & Will from Baltimore ❤️

We were in the area and my husband loved the fried chicken and deep fried ribs! He says he would like to drive the hour from our house to come back and eat the food again.

Server super nice. Chicken soup was very good, crab dip appetizer delicious, fried shrimp good, could use more seasoning, fried chicken very good but full of grease, stuffed shrimp was good but should be named smothered shrimp not stuffed. Even though my review says things could be better, the food was still good, in my opinion these things would just make them better.

The Hen House is always great for amazing food and drinks. Every time I've eaten there the service has been great. Friendly wait staff and really quick to get the food out. Large portions are given and the house salad is delicious. I really enjoyed the Love Potion drink special.

This was our first time there. Delicious food, we had the Sunday buffet and I was pleasantly surprised. The regular menu seemed a little pricey but after looking at their Facebook page I can see why. They seem to change up their menu and put a lot of care into it.

The weather was beautiful with a nice evening breeze. Had a bowl of cream of crab which was amazing. I had a delicious burger and my wife had a chicken sandwich. The children has the steamed shrimp and fries. It was a delightful experience.

Made reservations for 6PM on a Saturday. Arrived at 6PM to find about 5 families waiting outside. Stood at the reception for a few, waiting to be acknowledged, while multiple servers/hostesses came to grab menus and other items. Noticed that there were 7 dirty tables waiting to be cleared/reset. We asked to be seated outside as the music was too loud inside for conversation; no band, just music thru the house speakers. We were given menus that were a paper menu on a clipboard. Our waitress came over to get our drink order. My wife asked for a glass of wine, I asked about their beers. Waitress noticed that we weren’t given drink menus. I was already curious as to why we we given clipboard menus when I had seen other customers getting regular restaurant menus (were you guys out of normal restaurant menus?) Meh, no big deal. Wife and I decided on Crab Fries as an appetizer, and we both wanted the surf and turf, steak with a crab cake. Waitress bring us our wine and beer; and wife and I are enjoying conversation. A bit of time goes by and I’m wondering about our appetizer after seeing the couple next to us being served their appetizer, even though they were seated about 10 minutes after we were. I wasn’t able to grab the waitress’s attention, she never told us her name. A little while later the waitress is back, but with our appetizer and entrees. She mumbled something about the food was ready so she just brought it all. She asked if we needed anything, I quickly looked around and said Ketchup, salt and pepper. She grabbed them from the just left table behind us, sat them on the table and hurried off as I was trying to ask for another beer. She never once came back to check on us during the meal. At least I had a water to drink. The crab fries didn’t have any crab mixed into the cheese, only a tiny sprinkle of crab on the very top of everything seemingly as an afterthought. Maybe rename them cheese fries with a sprinkle of crab? The crab cake was bland, but it was mostly crab with little filler. Not bad, but missing the flavor you’d expect. Steak was good. No vegetable side for my wife. After we’d finished our meal and were waiting for the check, the waitress comes and apologized for it being chilly out (it was a nice fall evening, no need for apologies for that) and asked if I wanted another beer. The time for a refill would’ve been when our appetizer and meal came out. I was ready for the check. I knew what to expect as far as the check, and my wife and I started discussing the tip. She said to do 18% which I immediately laughed at. I said no service, no tip. Total came to a little over $115. Wife won the tip discussion, but yes it got knocked down a little. Our waitress may have spent a total of 10 minutes with us, being generous. This was us giving hen house a second chance after a similar experience there years back. I don’t put all of the blame on the waitress, from our arrival and seeing people waiting to be seated and 7 tables waiting to be cleared with no one seeming to care… We will not be back.
