Red Hen Conspiracy Theories Erupt After Restaurant Ejects Sarah Huckabee Sanders | Eater

"The unrelated Swedesboro location and its managing partner Elizabeth Pope said they received more than 600 phone calls and widespread online attacks in the wake of the controversy; the restaurant posted on Facebook asking people to check their facts before defaming an innocent business that welcomes all customers regardless of race, religion, views, or opinions." - Whitney Filloon

First timers to this adorable spot after visiting an nearby attraction. The atmosphere was cool, inviting, spacious, and welcoming. The staff was very kind. Although a couple of the items we ordered were no longer available but still on the menu(waitress said it wasn’t updated yet) the items we did order were fresh, aesthetically pleasing and packed with flavor. The flavor combinations are on point. The menu has a crowd pleasing selection. The outdoor seating available makes the entrance more inviting. We will certainly be back! And thanks to Maddie that was our super sweet waitress.

Food is phenomenal, especially the Blk Shp menu. Tapas are perfectly portioned and every bite is divine! Also such an amazing drink selection, especially the craft beers. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a spot in the South Jersey area!

We went there Friday before Labor Day. First time there and will definitely be back. The food was amazing! We ordered pretzels, which were home made and the size of rolls (never had pretzels so fresh). They came with beer cheese (so good) and mustard. We also enjoyed the Italian pizza - (SO flavorful and the dough is made from scratch) and the short rib sandwich (melted in your mouth). We were so full, we unfortunately couldn’t try dessert. Prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality of food. Service was excellent. We had a seasoned server along with a trainee - both were great. The Chef came out to greet us and ask how everything was. It was a 10 from start to finish… can’t wait to go back!

The Red Hen is a great place for a meal. It’s a large restaurant, with a full bar and delicious food. The drinks were well made and generous. Our waitress was very attentive, the food came out quickly, and as ordered. Large family with kids at a nearby table had a great time and their monster cookie with ice cream looked delicious - we had the bread pudding for dessert, and it was delicious. The restaurant is very manageable and accessible. There are steps leading up to the bar (from the restaurant side), but one could wheel in they the bar’s front door. There are tables outside as well (in front and at the back). Clean, large bathrooms. Street parking was easy, but there’s also a parking lot.

New to the area and just stopped in to meet with friends. I had the cheese steak egg rolls and espresso martini. Our server was Mikayla and I couldn't believe how attentive she was to our needs with the bar as busy as it was. The food was good the drinks were GREAT and the attention to service was so spectacular and heart felt it really made us feel seen in a crowd. 10/10 will be back and would recommend!

My husband and I stopped by this restaurant on our drive home and we couldn’t have picked a better spot. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious!

I just want to start by saying we had a great time! Our food came out quick, we were able to pick the seats we wanted. The staff was pleasant, parking wasn't an issue, and dinner was definitely affordable. We also got to have a nice long conversation with Elizabeth who is in charge of the culinary operations at Red Hen and is also from South Africa(she's a huge animal lover something my fiance and her have in common). My fiance had the pork wings garlic flavored and she loved them we both had French onion soup It was really good and steaming hot and I had the wings appetizer in the Chipotle barbecue which were good because they weren't too hot and they weren't too sweet. For dinner we had the short rib pizza and it was a treat. Had the bread pudding for dessert and that was awesome as well! Support your local business - If you don't don't complain when McDonald's is the only thing around.

My husband and I both had a delicious shrimp featured meal. He enjoyed his 3 shrimp tacos filled with large shrimp and great taste. I loved my shrimp po boy sandwich and well done fries. Our server Ben S. M. was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and personable! He really made our dining experience excellent. We will definitely return soon!
