This review is based solely off of their sushi section. I have been going to this hen house since I was in highschool (over 10+ years) solely for this women's sushi. Every Wednesday they run a special for 5.55 rolls. Back a couple of years ago, the cashier there told me the lady who makes their sushi has been doing so for years - even turning down opportunities to start her own restaurant. She's super friendly and very accommodating to requests. The sushi rice is perfectly cooked and the flavor is always on point for me. Extremely consistent as well and I believe on par with other sushi restaurants. For a little over 5 bucks, I'm always satisfied. read more

Hen House Supermarket - Krispy krab roll - Grocery Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

The Hen House salad bar is awesome and priced incredibly reasonably. The produce, meat, and toppings are fresh and plentiful with a large number of options for a price that beats the community college student center salad bar across the street. I wound up here hunting for Keto friendly meal bars. The price for the good ones is $3 higher than our grocery near home, which...you know...hard to swallow so to speak. So, failing in my hunting, I wandered over to the salad bar, and decided to make a lunch and take it back with me to the office. After finding enough fresh yummy goodies to fill a plastic box, I was expecting a tasty but pricy weigh-in at the counter. (They weigh the salad, not the shopper, in case you were worried). "Do you have a Hen House Card?" "Sure do, although It's probably from years ago... well ok, that worked..." "The salad bar is still on sale, so here you go." Boom. I got out of there for $6 for a similar salad I put together at JCCC for $9 the other day. With the money saved, I could get those keto bars! Except no. I'll really get them next time we do our shopping for home. But still! What a deal! I'm happy. I'm full. I have change in my pocket. There were next to no carbs in my salad choices, so I bet I can eat an entire cookie cake when I get home! Except not, but I can dream a little. Maybe if the cookie cake is $3 off and they forgot to put in the sugar...and the flour...and anything that's good and tasty.... What was I talking about? Like the salad bar! Good and tasty and affordable! read more

My lord. price gouging is one thing but Hen House takes to a new level. $15 a pound for sliced turkey!! Exact same johnsonville sausage is $3.5O at Aldi. It's $5.5o at Hen House. $ Bagel is $1.69 EACH. Much better bagels at Panera for less than $1. A half loaf of marginal sourdough bred is $6 At Costco get one 3x larger for $3.50. and on and on.... Never again! read more

I was at this store twice this morning and I will never be back. I live in Shawnee and often drive the six miles to this Lenexa store. This week, I rec'd the mailer saying the mini-Key Lime Pies would be featured starting yesterday. We showed up at shortly after opening this morning and were told they wouldn't be put out until the "lady that is in charge of the key lime pies" get's in around eight or eight-thirty. (You mean just any bakery employee can't "put out a mini-Key Lime pie? It has to be a "specialist".) So we returned around ten, only to be told that the baker hadn't baked them yet and to come back later. When? Who knows? This means they weren't even out yesterday as advertised! We have always loved this store, but this kind of lack of customer service is unacceptable and ridiculous. We will never be back. read more

I've been a regular here for over a year. they always have the groceries that I am looking for. I spend a lot of time in the fresh produce section here because of their variety. I recently fell in love with their store prepared guacamole. they also have a pride cleaners that I use for dry cleaning along with an in-house Starbucks. I also get lunch here or dinner which typically includes their boasted chicken. i love those meals. read more

OMG! Hen House is like Disney World for me. I live in Lawrence and we are sans Hen House (Boo Hoo). I work at JCCC so there is a location right across the street from me. Disclaimer is that I do not do most of my shopping here. I will buy some non-perishables here but I get nervous with dairy and meat in my car while going back to Lawrence. I do purchase many dry goods here, though. Hen House has a very good selection on the things that I buy and I get a different product offering than my store in Lawrence offers. Hen House has a magnificent salad bar. Fresh, colorful, happy ingredients all ready to jump on your plate. There is such a wide variety, too. Different veggies, nuts, salads, cheeses. It is my favorite Hen House offering by far. Based on the many options they give you on the salad bar, it is very reasonably priced. They have a very good Chinese station and you are charged by the plate, not by the weight. There are many good items on the Chinese buffet. I also like the deli and their fried chicken is the best. They have quiche which is fabulous and many other deli items. The plate specials through the deli are very good and generous for the price. They have a small olive bar which is also always fresh and tasty. They have fresh sandwiches and a terrific cold case. The ready made meals they have include store made burritos, enchiladas, quiches, meatloaf and pasta dishes. There is a little of everything in this smallish store. It is not a gigantic store by any means. They are able to pack a great deal of fabulous in a small space. The staff also seems very customer focused. They have always been helpful and willing to assist you without an attitude. This store might be somewhat pricey you get what you pay for, right? read more

To be honest the only reason I stopped at this supermarket was the catchy name. It felt like it was a Target; I had a goal of just going in for a few items and came out with an entire basket full of unnecessary goodies. Interestingly they had a dry cleaners, small flower shop, sushi bar, olive station, kobucha tea serving station, salad bar, and a Chinese food section. I didn't take a picture but they had a wide variety of Think Thin protein bars, always a must to snack on when traveling or just doing errands around town. I noticed quite an assortment of local fruit as well- always a plus! read more

Good selections. I love the salad bar. Front end is very friendly. Sales are nice but you'll need a Hen House card.

UPDATE: The only good thing about this store is the staff. The cashiers are always kind and on top of it. That's the only good thing though. I dislike this Hen House to begin with, so it's an emergency case situation. Today was one of those days. This Hen House is a layout mess. Unless you're used to it, you'll never find what you're looking for. That's one thing. Now being sneaky is another. I was in the ice cream aisle getting ice cream when I saw a deal on Hershey syrup. All of these syrups by the ice cream were labeled as a "double package" of Hershey syrup. That sounds great, right? Unfortunately, these weren't double packs. They had taken those double packs, separated them, and were selling them with the "double package" stickers still on them. Classy, Hen House. read more

It's got a pretty good fish and seafood selection, lots of baking supplies, and unexpected finds like a reasonably priced bottle of white truffle oil, which I'd expect to find at Dean & DeLuca but not a neighborhood market. The produce looks good but I did end up with some Jonathan apples recently that were inedible (beautiful on the outside, brown and mushy on the inside). That was probably a fluke. All in all, a very good selection of foods at this market. What you can't find here they probably have at the Price Chopper at 133rd and Quivira, and vice-versa. If you need milk late in the evening, this store stays open until 11:00 p.m. Update 11/10/10: Yippee! This market now carries the frozen Boudreaux's Crawfish Tail Meat (from China, despite the Cajun name). It's very reasonably priced at $6.99 for a 12 oz. pack! I've made étouffé with it and it was delicious -- juicy and tender (not dry and tough). For the crawfish uninitiated, it tastes just like little lobster bites (that's essentially what crawfish are, tiny lobster-like crustaceans) and can be used in any dish calling for lobster for a much more affordable price! The fish market display is small, but glistening. Ask André, the fishmonger, and he's got lots of other stuff in back. He says he usually has cooked whole crawfish, too, among other goodies. The fish all looks fresh and good -- André obviously takes pride in his fish market! read more

This a cute store and lot of things! I ran in to grab some water since I am going to be on travel for a few days.

I really adored this store until I went to the food area to order some chicken dinners. Not only was it 10am and the food was not ready. They didn't work with no sense of urgency to complete my orders. I was so upset with the service. Not to mention I was there an hour and the food wasn't even fresh or good. I am not going back. Very unhappy and really once was. read more

I have a love/hate relationship with Hen House. There are certain things that I go to Hen House for and certain things I make sure to shop elsewhere for. Loves... The deli is one of the best supermarket deli's out there, probably the best in my area. They have you typical staples of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, etc., but they also have a lot of things that you don't find elsewhere. The premade "salad" varieties are great. They have noodle salads, your typical picnic salads, many fruit/dessert type salads. They also have great sandwiches at a great price. You might not consider Hen House as a good lunch place, but it is one of the best priced and quality. They also generally have dolmaldes, which is one of the reasons I will specifically go to Hen House. They have a decent fruit and veggie section, but it is a little small and the variety isn't that great. I like HyVee more for variety, but Hen House always seems to have the best quality. I am also a fan of the meat and more so the seafood sections. The meat quality is always good. Again the selection is pretty typical and there isn't a huge variety outside of the staple items. It isn't butcher grade, but you will be happy. The seafood is also always great. Here you will find some not so typical selections, but it is hit and miss as to what they have outside of the standards. Sometimes they will have sushi grade options, today they had trout, which made me really happy. The bakery is also a huge win. They have some of the best homemade pies (and only place that makes a custard pie that I have seen!) I don't eat a lot of sweets or bread, but anything I have tried from there is great. Finally, if you look you can often find discounted items that are "close to expiration." This can mean milk that has a date 3-4 days away, or meat that is starting to turn color. All good quality, just stuff that needs sold/used soon. If you shop 2-3 times a week, this can be a big cost saver. (You can get a gallon of milk for half price and if a milkaholic like me, this is a huge win!) Hates... Really I have only one hate, a lot of the prices are dramatically higher than other stores. I have noticed things like Carnation Instant Breakfast about 50% higher than other stores. Milk is $.40-$.80 higher depending on where you shop. You will find many things like this and it can add up and be a huge difference especially if you are feeding a family. The Hen House card can make a huge difference, but I generally shop for what I want, not what they want me to buy and don't really get a huge benefit from this. The trade off to the higher costs is often exceptional service. Why I am also a fan of other groceries, Hen House will often go above and beyond. I have never received flack from the butcher for wanting my meats packaged conveniently for my use. The fish guy will filet, cut, etc. your fish to your specifications. If you get to the check out and mention you couldn't find something, they will send someone after it. I hope those extra costs that people pay get passed on to the great employees. Like all stores there are good and bads, I just wish Hen House would be more competitive in pricing. read more

I like this store except for one rude worker who mostly works at customer service, everyone knows who he is because everyone agrees he is rude !! The butcher guys are great and the stockers. The manger can sometimes be sneaky and dont know what his mood will be from visit to next . Sometimes he is in a great mood others times a jerk like when he ran off the young man playing beautiful music to try to pay for his college, even the very old were outraged with the grey haired manager!! Prices can be high n not as great selection n bakery is stale but meat department is great n workers mostly great except for 2 . read more

This is my local, just a few blocks from my house so I tend to shop here much of the time. I generally like Hen House, and this one seems very well run. The staff is friendly and helpful, it is clean, and the produce is good quality. Hen House has a program of stocking veggies from local growers, which I really like to see and will purchase when available. They carry Alma cheese too, the raw cheddar is really good btw. The prepared deli offerings are quite good usually, the quality is pretty high (much better than say Hy Vee). Also, they have a meal deal thing which is usually tasty, and an excellent way to feed a couple of hungry kids when you don't want to cook, without feeling ashamed of yourself (ahem, McD's). Some are better than others, of course tastes vary - but if you see the braised turkey and root vegetable one, get it. The meat counter is full service, which I really like. Seafood offerings are pretty good (for Kansas). Also, they often have frozen smelts!! I grew up near Chicago, and crave fried smelts sometimes, never before found a source around here. Ask the butcher, they aren't usually out. They don't pack meats in those warehouse packages filled with preservative gas that turns it bizarrely pink, also a plus. They always have lamb and veal, and also stock frozen buffalo and grass fed beef. The meat is expensive usually. In fact, Hen House is generally more expensive than other regular grocery stores, which is slightly mitigated by loss-leader specials which are almost always a great bargain. read more

SELECTION: 5/5 Salad Bar: Excellent variety of fresh ingredients, including meats and fruit. Bakery: Delicious Tippin's pies. My favorite is Fresh Strawberry, though it is usually only available in summer. The Oatmeal Raisin cookies and Lemon Pudding cake are also scrumptious. QUALITY: 5/5 Everything fresh and hand-cut, nothing canned. SERVICE: 5/5 I have received consistently superb service from all employees in all departments for over five years. Jim (store manager) and Jennie (customer service manager) have a real knack for hiring hard-working and service-minded team members. VALUE: 4/5 Hen House's excellent customer service comes at a price. Nothing as crazy as Whole Foods, but certainly more than Wal-Mart or Target. An exception to this rule is the All-You-Can-Eat Salad Buffet for $7.99. If you are willing to eat your salad in the store, then you can save a bundle, particularly if you like heavy ingredients like pineapple and cantaloupe. read more

Discussing. Rotten cheese in their speciality cheese cooler. I purchased and opened it immediately. Putrid. A week later purchased Mamma Lupas tortilla chips. Opened them within 3-4 days of purchase, rancid. Called, Jim, the head store manager. With long pauses after I shared my experience and concern with selling expired product in more than one department, he slowly apologized. And that was it. A hesitant, "sorry, I'll bring it up at out next store meeting." So not only spoiled good but poor customer service from the store manager. I personally will be traveling further to buy goods. I would suggest the same to every reader. You're welcome in advance. read more

I am from out of town, and I stopped in because it was near my hotel. The cashiers and all the workers could not have been nicer. I was sort of in a bad mood when I arrived, but by the time I left was totally turned around. Kudos to how you train your people! read more

I wish I could shop here because it's just way closer to me than any other grocery store. Unfortunately, the only three times I've gone I came back with food that had already expired. If you don't mind the disorganization of the store or checking dates on every item before you leave then I guess it's fine! read more

I am not one of those people that sticks to one and only one grocery store...it really depends on my mood or the traffic or simply where I am coming from as to whether I choose Hen House or Hy-Vee. Hen House is a dandy store. The parking lot is usually quick and easy to get in/out of. The service is usually very friendly here. Some people complain about prices, but with a Hen House Card I really don't see any difference...but, it does help to have one of those. The meat selection is good, but not the best...it has a lot of stuff, but nothing inventive or different. Seafood is really quite great considering we're in, uh, Kansas, and, the guy who usually works the seafood counter is always really nice and offers some excellent suggestions on what to get and how to cook it. The fruits and veggies are usually pretty good - perhaps slightly above HyVee. The salad bar is phenomenal - tons of choices, always fresh looking and tasting. Everything else is just standard grocery store, but they should have most of what you're looking for, even some specialty stuff. read more

5 stars for offering sashimi-grade tuna at much more reasonable prices than Whole Foods. I also find the produce here to be in much better condition thank other supermarkets in the area. read more

Closest grocery store to our home, now that the ol' Hy-Vee across from Oak Park Mall is history... Even though it has the geographical edge on the competition, it's not my go-to store. I wouldn't buy a week's worth of groceries here, but it's a good option when you need a few things in a hurry. The upside of Hen House? Good deli counter. Fast self-checkout lanes. The downside? Crazy overpriced. If you buy your proteins here, you're nuts. The meat seems to be dramatically overpriced compared to HV and Price Chopper and the selection isn't particularly hot. Everything else is just a little bit pricier than elsewhere. But a lot of dime and quarter price differences add up in a hurry. The selection of middle-of-the-road goodies isn't that awesome, either. If you're the kind who likes finding some new or interesting product, I don't think you'll be thrilled with this Hen House. read more

Recently moved, was a long time customer of the Hen House store located on 87th & Lackman, I have shopped several times since moving at the College Blvd location and am VERY disappointed! 1st, when I purchase coffee from the in store Starbucks they make me prepay for the coffee there, the 87th St. location allows me to purchase with my groceries and only have 1 transaction. 2nd, I purchased a rotisserie chicken and was SO dry we could not eat it, I checked the time stamp and it was good but extremely overcooked! 3rd, the fresh bread bakery selection is NOTHING like the 87th St. location. Lastly, I purchased tortillas and they were all fused together and could not tear them apart to eat them. When I asked to return them they said no because I threw out my receipt. I don't normally keep my receipts. Will have to drive a little further for another grocery store. read more

Worst hen house. They spoilt all my plans for the birthday. And never work with their bakery. The most irresponsible cake decorators. read more

This afternoon I stopped by the deli, to get some Boarshead maple turkeybreast. The dark headed young man working behind the counter retrieved the turkey from the case and placed it on a pan. He accidentally Pushed a large knife onto the floor, picked it up, and placed it on the same tray as the large turkey breast roast. The knife touched the end of it. Without changing gloves, he picked up the turkey, to go to slice it, but stopped when realized the slicer needed to be wiped. He then placed the turkey back on the same tray, by the contaminated knife, which again touched the turkey. I called him over to tell him what I saw, and when I told him, he said "It didn't touch it". I reported this to the manager at the front of the store. I hope the store manager gets this message because foodborne illness is a serious thing. Also the tuna salad in the display case was dried out and had hardened spots on it. read more

employees are very helpful and it is easy to shop here. i don't understand why anybody would shop here on a regular basis. most everything is way overpriced. the meat dept the quality is not great and overpriced. three days ago i bought a supposed special of sirloin steak@ $5.99 per pound it was practically impossible to eat, my dog would have trouble chewing it. there are many other better places to shop. read more

Updating to say that, since my move to Overland Park, I now shop at this store regularly & I still like it just fine. The prices are still a bit higher than the discount mega-grocers, but are offset by specials & the Hen House card rewards. I absolutely LOVE the meat counter... very fresh beef, pork, and poultry, and the butchers are all so helpful. There's always a nice variety of produce too. I love the mini-food court with the Chinese counter & the salad bar! read more

Things have become better there , enjoy shopping there now . Need cheaper prices though to complete with your sister stores price chopper or Wallmart supermarket n super stores . Hy-Vee has been having great sales lately and their meat and fruit have cheaper and better selection which are better then yours . Last week the grapes were mushy and over priced . Still better then target where I found a lot of food expired and never had that problem with hen house but for the grapes last week that had to throw out next day . Otherwise much better to go to now read more

Never been to this super market before and stopped in earlier today and needed help finding sour cream and chocolate milk and I had the pleasure of meeting employee, Richard, who was very helpful and very pleasant. Thank you, Richard! read more

There is something weird about this place . There are many elderly check out attendants who ALWAYS comment on what you buy, and make snarky comments if you buy beer and there's just never a time when you can't get through the line without having to DEAL with them! I wish for the day there was a self check out . If you FINALLY make it out without being harassed you get harassed by the cart men who follow you to your car to grab your cart. Keep in mind they aren't helping you, just stalking you at night to get your cart. It's just weird. The whole experience is horrible and I avoid this place like the plague. If you enjoy it, then you must not mind talking about every purchase you made, analyzing of your cost ratio, and how you could have saved . It's like your mom is at the check out counter . read more

I like there model, one day dry cleaners in the store - decent Chinese food on the fly , fresh meat - produce and lots of other typical and special foods. Easy to get everything you need in one stop - shop. read more

Hen House has started this new chopped salad made while you wait offering. I tired it last weekend and couldn't want to order one again today. This offering is for Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting at 2pm. It's fresh, yummy, and the dressing is amazing. They also give you a roll. I must admit, I like it as much...maybe more than California Pizza Kitchen chopped salad. Prices vary depending on the size but they are large portions. What a nice addition Hen House is offering! I love it! read more

Visited this location to take care of there crazy 8 sale today. From 8am - 8pm there were many items that were ridiculously reduced in price such as Tide laundry detergent which was $4.98 instead of $9.99 and well worth the visit by itself. I took advantage of the crazy sale but didn't buy any regularly priced items due to how expensive they were compared to equivalents at Price Chopper and Hy-Vee. They have an incredible selection of organic and health foods, but again the prices are very high. I decided to use the self-checkout and that was an error as it was far too much effort due to all of the issues with the machine. The poor lady next to me was also struggling so I will be going through the regular checkout line when I next visit to take advantage of a sale. They do have fun carts for kids that are full size carts with a car section with room for two children. This is perfect for now, but will be interesting when #3 arrives next month...:) read more

i love this store- i've been shopping here since i moved to Overland Park in December 2007- Thank you Kevin L- who added its address. this store is GREAT- the employees are very kind and its more of a neighborhood store than others in the area i like the Hyvee at 95th street as well but this store specializes in stocking items that they dont- it has EVERYTHING- a Starbucks and a Chinese food place- a huge candy section- great bakery and and deli the roasted chickens are YUMMY- great produce the cheese selection is incredible they have Tippins Pie's year round and thier food as well. the salad bar looks scrumptious too and they have take home meal specials to feed the family- its spice aisle is HUGE- they stock everything Mccormick you could possibly need- including the gourmet line- so is its BBQ sauce aisle and James and jellies- things are broken up in say Pasta Oriental etc. if you want to try to cook any Oriental food the soy sauces and ingredients section is impressive but most everything is at the store - they have a selection of imported cookies that always gets me when i go in. Lemon cookies from Canada SOLD. but thier bakery cookies cakes and especially cinnamon rolls and cream cakes- are really good too. they have good sales with thier Hen House card i've gotten laundry detergent the same price as Target which saved me a trip there. all i all i really like this store. yep i;'ve shopped here. will be back again. read more

They have nice staff and there is a lot to choose from here. the cooked food is better than I expected at a reasonable price. The only complain I have is some fruits start getting bad and they do not remove them from the shelves quickly enough read more

They have almost everything you need and they almost don't run out of anything, unlike Aldi where it all depend on your luck. Of course Hen House is not the cheapest out here, but i believe it offer great value for items that are on sale, but it is not like you will always have items on sale every time you go. I wish they had a section with special items on sale and have that section available all the time. read more

Unfortunately, this store always smells faintly of old fish and sour milk. I have to breathe through my mouth while at this location. There salad bar is awful 90% of the time. They have a nice variety of good-looking ingredients that taste horrible. I can't put my finger on it; every time I have made a salad at the salad bar, I have had to pick out a lot of components because things taste spoiled, picked, or just....off. read more

Hen House on College blvd and Quivira rd has the absolute worst lemon pie ever.....I couldn't believe it when I cut into the pie and it had whip creme on top and bottom of the Lemon filling......basically it was a whip creme pie....WHAT A RIP OFF....$15.00 FOR A WHIP CREME PIE. There was about a 1/4 inch of lemon filling in between two layers of whip creme......how much did they really save. I will never buy a pie there again.....in fact they just lost a loyal customer read more

This is the closest grocery store to my new place, so I've probably been here 10-12 times over the past 3 months. Most of the time it has not been a great experience. They seem to be constantly understaffed, and the produce section has a "rotten" smell quite frequently. They are also overpriced, in my opinion. However, after my experience yesterday I will NOT be going back - period. I went to the meat counter to get 2lbs of ground beef, for two separate meals I planned to make. The "gentleman" at the counter, Jake, barely acknowledged my presence at first. When I asked him if it was possible to get the meat in two separate 1 lb packages, he stood there and looked at me like I'd asked him to commit a robbery. Then he angrily took the meat off of the scale, threw back down into the meat counter, and started all over again. I asked him if there were a problem with requesting two packages. He again stared at me for a few seconds, then said "It would have been nice to know that ahead of time." I was pretty hacked off and decided to speak with a manager after I checked out - but of course there was no manager available. This store will see no more of my money, guaranteed. read more
