    You know what this is!
    Constantin M.

    Hey! I run my eye across the mercury and Ooooh, boy the Land O' Lakes is livin' down to its goose-bumpin' hyperboreals. Get the gloves on! Naw naw, you can't just hermit it up the entire time the leaves are off the trees, c'mon! I gotta place for you all to visit. I kinda gotta refer to it as a hidden secret, cuz in the laws of location, location, location, this little grub garage ain't exactly in the prime real estate. Half the place is blocked by a bridge and the other half is blocked by everything that ain't a bridge. So, you gotta dial in the perception to catch this place, especially since it has neighbors with more visible joints. But I gotta tell you, and you know I'll tell it straight that if you ain't ever seen this place or you keep forgettin' it's an option, it's worth punchin' the address into the ol' robot map. Lemme drop the mail stop right here: 1710 Center Ave E #138, Dilworth, MN. Now, I didn't come to ramble about a revolutionary new idea that some enterprisin' folk dreamed about after a solid pop fly to the nugget. Naw. This path is many traveled and well worn. Red Hen Taphouse is on the western outskirts of Dilworth on Hwy 10. There's a lot of stuff on Hwy 10, but if you don't wanna go all interstate, you can rely on Red Hen to do a solid job for you if you live east of the Red River. By my own admission, I belong to the "keep forgettin'" camp. Man, this place has weak visibility. But, if you got enough tire tread to navigate the frotage roads to get back there, I think you'll find a place itchin' to serve up some hot grub and cold drinks. I got me my teetotaller tea and Red Hen's mushroom and Swiss. My sidekick run up a tab on a tall glass and the Cajun chicken ranch hoagie. Both of these courses gave us a decent portion without bustin' up our gold reserves. But, I gotta be straight about a condition the ol' Hen is sufferin'. The kitchen doesn't know anything about seasoning up the ol' victuals. Now, for those fair-haired Europeans who live in the area and think a glass of ice water is too spicy, Red Hen might be a draw. But this ol' Slavic got expectations built right into my buds. I'm not gonna punch down over a little salt and pepper, but if y'all in the Red Hen kitchen skim over this unnecessarily overloaded dumpster of idioms, I'll break the important part off on its own right here: Learn to use salt and pepper. White granules is salt. Black granules is pepper. Use butter where you ain't usin' butter, and you are going to start slingin' some Michelin Star regalement. I got it locked down, so don't blink! The rest of you folks, give the ol' Hen a chance. We were given great service on our visit, and those ladies would sure like to keep the heat on while the sun is bouncin' off the ice sheet. Listen, it don't do anyone any good to have to struggle unnecessarily. If you gotta joint on the weekend that's gonna form a line, there's probably a seat at Red Hen waiting for a little cozy work. The tab don't getcha Presidents in a headlock, so peel off a couple extra notes and keep the Hen a-cluckin. Keep warm and keep bein' awesome!

    Fries were so salty that they were inedible
    M N.

    The fries were salted to the point they were inedible. They seemed to have been double fried and tasted burnt. We also requested some dipping sauces on the side which were forgotten in our to-go order. Also no napkins, which would have been nice due to the items being (expectedly) greasy. I ordered the turkey club which had good bread and fresh lettuce and tomatoes. I might go again in the future but I wouldn't order any fried items because they were so bad we couldn't eat them.

    Huge nachos!

    The Red Hen is tucked away along Hwy 10 on the border of Moorhead and Dilworth, in a strip mall. This is a nice addition for this area that currently does not have a ton of bar options in the vicinity. There is nothing fancy about the establishment and you kind of feel like you are in a strip mall bar, but that's not really a bad thing. It reminded me a little of a small town bar but not being old or divey. I'm a nachos guy, and after hearing about their nachos, I had to just try that as my meal. It is shocking how large the nachos are. They are prepared on a pizza pan that is probably at least a foot in diameter and the nachos stack up about 4-5 inches high. I knew I couldn't eat the whole thing myself but for as full as I was when I left, you could barely see a dent in the nachos. So if the $11.95 plus $2 more for a meat topping looks like a pricier appetizer here, keep in mind this will feed an army. Sandwiches come with chips but you can upgrade to waffle fries, onion rings or a salad for $1.50-$2. My wife opted for the waffle fries and you get plenty of those. Looking at other food coming out, I noticed many people getting the flatbreads that looked good. After seeing what I believe was the walleye sandwich, I think that is what I need to try next time. Also, they have a very good tap beer selection, probably about a dozen or more. Many of them are regional as well.

    Fantastic food, fantastic service! I highly recommend the jalapeño popper burger, the egg rolls, and the jalapeño ranch sauce!

    Was really excited for this place when I saw the menu online. Way more unique options than your…read morestandard franchise deli, you know? And maybe I just picked the wrong sandwich, cuz the flavors truly didn't do it for me. But also the white bread they put the fixings into really detracted from the overall flavor. Blehhh. Still though, high rating from me because the establishment was really swanky on the inside, lots of clean spacious seating. A patio as well to eat outside. Soda fountain had some flavor shot options. The employees were all friendly and attentive. Clean restrooms (though they were individual stalls and gender segregated for no reason...). Also the pricing was a little steep but not horrid by today's exorbitant standards. Paid $11 for a 6"er.

    1 star because Yelp won't let me put ZERO stars…read more Where to start.... Save your money and don't eat this crap! SO disappointed. The potatoes were COLD, DRY, and had a weird seasoning, which they shouldn't have been cold or dry because I requested them as a side. The gluten free bread WAS good, and I will say it would have been a decent deli sandwich, maybe like an Italian sub or BLT, but that bread as a breakfast sandwich...holy bread! I should have bought a baguette at Walmart and saved my $10+ on a piece of bread with a limp piece of bacon, enough egg to feed a family of 10, and a piece of cheddar cheese that wasn't even melted. This place was SO disappointing and I left starving - didn't event finish my food and should have asked for a refund. Sandwich and potatoes were absolutely disgusting - dry, cold, flavorless. I know this isn't the east coast where deli sandwiches are superiors, but cmon. there's better quality found at McDonald's. I'm not a particular person and I cannot just emphasize enough how gross and disappointing this was. Service was fine, they were nice and as expected. Ambiance was like that of a subway, not a mom and pop type of restaurant.
