Saw some mixed reviews, but these were really great wings for our Super Bowl Sunday. We got the fifty-piece and all of my friends were happy. Hot, on time, and well priced.

If I happen to be in Southington at luch at time I try to stop at the Hen House BBQ for a chicken sandwich. They are always good. The restaurant was sold three years ago and I detect not change in the food. The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. I'll be back.

We found this place by accident when on vacation. So glad we did. The crab cakes were so delicious and full of lump crab. Crab bisque was awesome. We went back 2 days later for the tray of crabs. Yum. Great spot.

Since I first moved to Southington in 2004, this has been a favorite spot of mine! The cuisine is consistently delicious and expertly prepared! I adore the coleslaw, deviled eggs, and ribs. That's all I ever receive, so to be honest, I can't say much more about it. I hope to return soon and was happy to return!

Great fried chicken made to order. Probably the best fried chicken I've had in Connecticut. Portions are decent size and sauces are amazing. Definitely get the nuggets.

I do not give out 5 stars lightly. People go on here to see real life reviews from real people and this place is fantastic! All made fresh and freakin hot right out the fryer, this is hands down the best fried chicken sandwich I’ve had. Fries are amazing crispy freshly made, and coleslaw is really good as well I have absolutely no complaints. From the time I ordered to the time I was eating it was only 10mins if that. If you haven’t tried them I highly recommend it!
