    Fruity French toast
    Stephanie B.

    The service was so friendly and quick, the restaurant and bathroom were clean, and the food was amazing! I got the fruity French toast and loved it.

    Eggs Benedict with crab cakes and loaded hash browns
    Jessica E.

    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.

    The entire menu is wayyyyy overpriced. $20 for a bagel lox!? I've paid cheaper at fancy bistros, and it would at least come with sides.

    Frites and eggs

    This was my first visit to Crooked Hen for breakfast and lunch, and I was impressed! The menu had great options, and the staff was very friendly. They even asked for feedback on our food choices and took the time to explain how they prepare the breakfast burrito. The frites and eggs were absolutely delicious!

    Great place to eat when driving 625 to Lancaster. Diners are great, but a great environment and variety really helps change things up.

I ordered the farmhouse breakfast which was lovely. Perfectly diced home fries. Delicious scrambled eggs that indeed looked far fresh . I got it with ham.

Here are some of the reasons for our disappointment: 1. Hospitality is significantly lacking! There is little to no warmth of personality in the workers. No smiles no guidance for taking orders of someone who professes it's their first time visiting. No one followed up to see if we wanted to or needed anything else after our food was received. They didn't even bother asking if everything was okay. Customer service has no personality nor a dedication to excellence. 2. To order/pay/ attain a menu, you must navigate and stand in line on steps which will be difficult for customers who may have disabilities or mobility difficulties. 3. High chairs are stored in the bathroom along with the toilet and other items for storage. This is quite disgusting as when toilets are flushed, particles are sprayed into the air and then will come to rest on the high chairs where patrons put their children to eats. Gross. 4. I specifically asked during the placement of my order if the sausage was spicy/peppery and was told "no", so I ordered it, only to have both myself and the other person in our party agree that it was spicy/had a kick. No syrup was provided either. 5. The toast was so hard it was like a rock and I never was provided with the jam that is clearly indicated on our receipt, and I was charged an additional fee for- nor did anyone come over to check on us or offer to bring it. Again poor service! 6. The floors and displays were dusty and boasted cobwebs. Observing staff clearing plates from tables I noticed that tables and chairs were not wiped/sanitized between customers. There are additional concerns we had about our first visit here, but I'm sure you get the idea. It is extremely rare that I leave poor reviews, but this one stood out and can't be overlooked. Just highly disappointed and I would never recommend this place, except for maybe a coffee to go, but nothing more. Save your time and money and visit elsewhere to avoid wasting it and leaving in a state of disappointment.

    Great place to have a breakfast! Good choice, large portions, actually really tasteful food…read more Very friendly service. The place itself is giving good vibes. Definitely recommend.

    Spotted this new place while we were headed to a different restaurant, and decided to try it out…read moreinstead. I am SO glad we did because it was OUTSTANDING. It was moderately busy when we entered, and was getting rather crowded by the time we left an hour later. I ordered one of their specials -- a breakfast burrito with eggs, potatoes, fresh tomato, green peppers, onions, and cheese, then wrapped in bacon and deep fried. The crispy burrito and bacon complemented the fillings nicely, and it was served with a crema sauce on the side. My dining partner got a strawberry cheesecake crepe, which had a generous amount of fresh strawberries and filling, and a pile of whipped cream on top. It too was delicious. The portions for both were perfect -- generous but not excessive. The coffee was good as well, which I can't say about a lot of places anymore. It was very clean and new inside, and the decoration was very nice. Modern and elegant, but with enough natural oak accents, basket-shaded lights, and plants to really brighten the space. The service was also excellent. They were fully staffed with many attentive employees available, and the service was on point. The food came out fast and hot. If I had one complaint, it might be that the A/C was a little strong. It's maybe a little pricey for breakfast compared to diner fare (almost every entrée was $10-15), but the value is 100% there. Excellent food, nice atmosphere, and great service. Definitely a stand-out in the area for breakfast/brunch/lunch, and I will definitely be back.

    That Hollandaise! I…read morerecently visited Wyomissing Restaurant and Bakery with two companions, and we had a wonderful experience! The atmosphere is a bit more upscale than your average diner--everything was impeccably clean, and the ambiance was very pleasant. My friends both opted for the "All You Can Eat Buffet," which I understand is what this place is famous for (especially on weekends!). Their plates were packed, and the fact that they both went back for seconds speaks for itself--they loved it. I went with the Norway Benedict, and I was honestly blown away. It featured two perfectly poached eggs and smoked salmon on English muffins with a very generous serving of Hollandaise sauce, accompanied by a side of home-fried potatoes. The presentation was beautiful, the taste was excellent, and I truly can't think of a single thing that would have improved the dish. Service Highlights: * Attentive Staff: Our server was great--present when we needed drink refills but never intrusive. * Efficiency: They were quick to clear empty plates rather than letting them sit on the table, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    I gave this to five stars because the food was five stars. My boyfriend got the buffet and said…read morethat it was absolutely excellent.

    Overall 84/100 -- was completely dead when we went, get the salmon…read more Went here on a Tuesday night at 8pm and were the only people in the entire restaurant. They lit the fire and turned on the music for us, which was a nice touch. Overall the ambience was very nice and they took care of us. It's rare I order seafood from a landlocked state but the menu was small enough that you either could get steak, seafood, or a wrap. I went with the special of the day which was a flounder with rice pilaf. The flounder was good but the salmon was much better, would only recommend the salmon. The rice pilaf was good as well as the broccolini. The mashed potatoes were fantastic and the roasted vegetables were what you'd expect. Also had the ice cream cheesecake which was odd and wouldn't get again. Bill came out to about 120 for 2 glasses of wine, 2 seafood entrees, and a dessert. Overall, had a great dinner.

After the show went back in hoping they'd have late night food...nope one drink, turned on the lights at 11 and pretty much told us we had to go.
