Ordered takeout from Blue Hen on a recent rainy Sunday and were very happy with our decision. We were able to pick up our food approximately 40 min after ordering as promised.
We ordered to-go cocktails --- is it me or does a cocktail lose some charm when served in a plastic cup with a lid? Regardless, we both enjoyed the actual drinks. I would recommend the Drammer Time, a tequila cocktail with a good balance of spice and citrus.
For our appetizer, we got the roasted carrots served with halloumi and greek yogurt, which were tasty, but not mind-blowing. The buttermilk biscuits, however, are phenomenal (and equally delicious as leftovers added to our breakfasts the next day).
For our entree, we split the fried chicken based on Yelp reviews suggesting the portion size was more than adequate for two --- and you were right. That being said, I could have happily eaten my own portion of the chicken. It is incredible! The batter was so light but still crispy, and the chicken was perfectly tender and juicy. I rarely eat meat anymore, and I even more rarely opt for fried chicken, but I would order this again and again from Blue Hen. The macaroni and cheese and collard green sides were yummy as well, but we devoured the chicken and wound up having leftover sides after filling up on apps.
We would have loved to have eaten at the restaurant, but their limited outdoor seating is all uncovered and we have not been eating indoors during the COVID pandemic. That being said, if you're comfortable eating inside, they were seating socially distanced tables and all staff were masked. There is also a firepit in the outdoor seating area for chillier fall evenings.
