My favorite place to be in town! While some nights it can be busy and loud, other nights are a little more quiet and chill. I absolutely love the staff! They are so friendly! I got the Thursday special, the steak. THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! The steak was cooked perfectly to my liking!! For an extra fee, I got cheesy hash browns which I enjoyed just as much. Ordered 2 alcoholic drinks, which were amazing aswell. They offer some games for all ages. A very rustic, Ole timey style inside. My only quam with the place is the closing time is at 10:00 pm. They served breakfast only on the weekends aswell. read more

Cute American/Country style restaurant. They have maximized seating space, so if there is a wait you will be outside or in your vehicle. They take down your number and call you when your table is available. Our server was very friendly and on top of things. We ate there for brunch - Pro tip: come early to ensure you can get their made from scratch caramel or cinnamon rolls, they sell out! It was big enough for 3-4 people to share. Our food was good and the price was great considering they make from scratch. I would gladly eat there again! read more

The food was just ok. Started off gok with the apps. Cheese curds were a huge portion and good and the poutine was also decent. The main courses were just meh. The French dip was just average. It needed more cheese and the sliced meat wasn't our favorite in texture. We didn't enjoy the stroganoff at all. It used the same beef as the French dip and the poutine and just didn't have any flavor. Service was really slow. The inside is separated into 3 areas, which made the vibe quite quiet. read more

Sunday looks busy, 4 people for lunch. The hostess was a mess had no clue what to do, we were 10 seconds from leaving, finally got sat and honestly it took too long before finally a waiter came and took both drinks and food orders. Waiter was great, food came out pretty quick and it was good, definitely in the higher end of the price scale but it was good. read more

I went here because I was interested in a couple of their appetizers. I was soooo disappointed to find out that Sunday they only offer their brunch menu. I wasn't able to order the items I really wanted to try. Nonetheless, I ordered the pastrami sandwich with fries. My boyfriend ordered the flaming hen sandwich with fries. My friend ordered a breakfast sandwich and apple strudel pancake. Firstly, the waitress did not write anything down, which is a red flag if there's any type of modifications. The breakfast sandwich comes with choices of meat, bread, etc. The food took forever to come out. Service was so slow. My boyfriend and I received our meals, and turns out my friend's meal wasn't even entered. I have no idea how this happened. My friend told a different waitress what she ordered and it was promised to be "rushed". After a while, she received a breakfast sandwich with bacon rather than ham, on a regular bun rather than English muffin. Her cheesy hash browns were burnt. She did not send back anything since we had time constraints. She said the sandwich was still very good but the hash browns were not great since they were burnt. My sandwich was good, although very sloppily put together. My boyfriend said his sandwich was fine but there was no flavor or spice to it and was not memorable at all. The fries were crunchy and delicious. Despite the discrepancies, the food tastes very fresh. I would give this place another try but likely on a different day where I could have access to the whole menu. Service was slow and lacking. This needs to improve. read more

We were passing through and decided to stop here for breakfast. There is quite a bit of space inside but was a little noisey, despite not being overly crowded. Service was okay. The server came over almost right away, however it took a while to get our food and server never checked back to see how everything was. She finally showed up to bring us the check. I ordered the Pastrami hash, it was excellent, with the exception of the hollandaise. It was bland tasting and sadly added nothing to the dish. My husband ordered the Country fried pork tenderloin. He liked the flavor of the sausage gravy but didn't particularly like the flavor of the pork tenderloin. It also came with cheesy hashbrowns however there were very little of these on the plate. The top side, which we presume had the cheese, was burned and not pleasant looking. We probably will not return. read more

Some people say I'm a harsh critic. That might be true but my goal is help them improve not to drive them out of business. We haven't been to this place since long before covid. They have tripled their floor space by expanding into 2 more storefronts and adding a bar in one of them. They've also added outside seating. What they didn't do is expand the size of the kitchen. They are popular and this has given them the ability to expand and to charge charge more than the competition. The expansion may be forcing them to charge more in order to pay the additional rent. My wife hardly ever complains about anything except me being over critical had some things to say about this place. 1) The service was slow. 2) The coffee was bitter. 3) The English muffin for the eggs benedict was over toasted. She said the rest of the eggs benedict had a great taste and the hash browns were perfect! I had the biscuits and gravy. I am a harsh critic of almost all biscuits and gravy made by Northerners, especially in Minnesota. I've had worse but the biscuits and gravy may be close to as good as a Minnesotan would expect them to be but for me they were a miserable failure. The biscuit was hard. It was probably maid yesterday and left in the oven too long. It didn't rise enough but they would know that. I would suggest they buy some Pillsbury frozen biscuits and use them or at least use them as a model of what a biscuit should be. They could also go to Hardee's and try theirs. The gravy was room temperature and tasteless. You could see sausages bits in it but the sausage flavor was lost. Even by adding salt and pepper I couldn't coax any flavor out of the gravy. My hash browns were darker than my wife's. The menu called them cheesy hash browns. If there was cheese anywhere in them it wasn't obvious. The place was noisy. There is nothing to absorb sound and everything to reflect it, That has to be deliberate but I don't understand why. I told my wife I had to go back in order to review their pastrami sandwich. She made it clear that she was hoping it wouldn't be anytime soon. This is maybe one of the worse reviews I've ever given a place and I halfway feel bad about it but I'm sure my review won't keep anyone away and it won't convince The Hen & The Hog to change a thing. read more

We were very fortunate the be seated. It was very busy and I think it's always busy which is a good problem to have. We sat in the back bar area and a bartender was talking care of us. At first we ordered just water and tea but later my husband ordered a beer which he never got. We were charged. I had a frittata with spinach and mushrooms it was huge. Two of us could have shared it. The garlic was the best part. The cheesy potatoes were good. Service was decent for how busy it was. The decor was very much like the name and cute. It was very clean. read more

Went recently for brunch on a Sunday. Since they only feature breakfast on the weekends, I wasn't able to try the Minnesota won tons (I guess that means I'll have to go back -:) The omelette was pretty good, the cinnamon roll was fair, but the apple strudel pancake was nice. The staff was friendly and helpful, if a bit short (something very common around here) and clearly the shop has a sense of humor. Why else would they list their soup of the day as mimosas! read more

Less fried food. More farm fresh to table and gluten friendly items. We happened to show up on wing night. We chose a wet sauce and a dry rub. The chicken with the sauce were flabby-not crisp. The dry rub however was really good. They also have meat raffles which is pretty cool. I had a rhubarb cocktail that was very good. read more

This place has really grown on us! Originally years ago we went for breakfast and it was just okay. They have really evolved and created an amazing experience with very tasty food with quite a variety of flavors. With added expansion with a bar and more tables including a very cute patio with evening cafe lighting. Servers are very good and attentive. Watching them work together they do teamwork well! Already looking forward to our next visit, thanks again for a great experience this evening. Tons of great specials as well... read more

The food was delicious. You could taste the quality of ingredients and that it was made from scratch. The price's were higher due to the quality and time. Not pictured we had the Minnesota wongtons, if you like pickle roll ups you should try. We all liked the dill mustard sauce too. The french fries were seasoned well, they also tasted good with the dill mustard sauce we had left. The Swedish meatballs had this amazing berry sauce with. It tasted similar to fresh cranberry sauce. It add a wonderful sweetness to the dish. Our server was GiGi, very kind, helpful, and attentive. The ambiance was friendly, country, and fun with the art. Would suggest trying if you are in to high quality food made from scratch! read more

The Hen & the Hog has been on my list to check out for some time and I finally made a visit for Sunday brunch! Everything about the visit was fantastic. I can honestly say I am most upset with myself for not going sooner and cannot wait to visit again. This very quaint little restaurant is located at the end of a strip mall and has a decent size patio in the front. Upon entry you will notice to separate dining areas with a very warm and inviting family farm theme. One thing that is a bummer is there is no bar space but that's just me - I like bar seating as I often eat out alone. The server was very friendly and sweet. While she didn't really make any recommendations she was very quick to compliment the choices I made. I started with a sake Bloody Mary that was garnished with a beef stick and cheese cube. The mix had a nice consistency and full flavor. For my meal I went with the brunch burger and this thing was lights out. Arguably the best brunch style burger I've had. The cheesy hash browns on it were fantastic and the ham had a slight sweetness that was perfect with the crispy, salty bacon. Also, the egg was absolutely beautiful and had an wonderful yolk. Truly an outstanding brunch experience that will lead to many more visits. read more

We were thrilled to find a local barbecue spot in Albertville. The Hog Heaven was not an overwhelming amount of fat considering it included pulled pork and pork belly. Both meats were well seasoned, well cooked, and flavorful. The Flaming Hen was a slow burn which paired perfectly with their house made pickles. The fries were salty, crispy, and plentiful. We highly recommend trying an aioli to go with the fries. We loved the Dill Mustard and the Garlic. The space is relatively small and even a small group with children can make the place particularly loud. The patio seemed to be the way to go. read more

Haning out in Elk River doing some work that brought us up here; we were feeling a bit peckish, and decided to see if there is someplace new to eat around here. We were looking around Otsego/Rogers, but somehow this came into play. The name spoke to us and we thought we'd give it a try. First off it was in Albertville not Rogers which we found out as my phone directed us there LOL. The building is at the end of a business building, and looks unassuming outside of the main city area. Walking it the space was clean and not crowded. We were immediatly seated and ordered our beverages. the alcoholic beverages is limited, but not a big deal to me. Perusing the menu there were some fun looking entrees to try, and made making a choice somewhat difficult. As I always do for Breakfasts, I will either try their benedict or sausage gravy offerring which is the the bellweather on whether or not to return. We opted for the Chilequiles omelot, and the breaded pork pork shop with sausage gravy. The Chilequiles in the omelot were cooked nice, and the salsa topped the mild yet flavorful salsa that will play to those with delicate palates. The entree came with cheesy hasbrowns and an option of bread which in this case was a buiscit. The buiscut was actually quite good. The other entree was the Breaded pork tenderloin with sausage gravy. They hit it out fo the park for this entree. the meat was juicy, and breading was cooked just right, and the sausage gravy was one of the top five i have had. Not sure how they made put it together, but is seemed more along the line of a sawmill gravy. Either way it was quite enjoyable. i almost ordered it again to take home for later this week. If you are up doing any shopping at the Alberville Outlet, this is the place to go to refuel after some shopping. Definetly keep this on your list. I would have given 5 stars, but I had a hankering for a pancake, and more specifically a blueberry pancake....they didn't have blueberry pancakes???? They do have pancakes but not exactly what I wanted, oh well. Hit this place up if you are in the areaa. read more

I'd maybe bump this to 3.5 stars. I had heard this place had a tasty burger so one afternoon we made the trek out here. It's a small place with a bit of an identity issue, I think. I didn't feel like the food necessarily matched the "farmhouse chic" look they were maybe going for? I had planned on the burger but then saw a pastrami sandwich on a pretzel bun and I was sold. What I did not know at the time is they have 2 kinds of fries - your frozen, battered variety (my least favorite), and hand cut fries (my favorite), and I believe you need to upgrade to get the hand cut. Pretty disappointed in that gap of knowledge. The sandwich was fine, but nothing spectacular. We also had the MN wontons which were pretty good, though the dijionaise was the highlight for me. I only wish I had had the handcut fries to dip in it! Worth a stop (especially in this area!). read more

I was in town for business and this place had a high review so I stopped for lunch. It was just OK.

Food was fab. Excellent happy hour deals (50% off 3-6 on weekdays). Highly recommend the Minnesota wontons, cheese curds, and steak bites - which do NOT taste like coffee (was worried they were going to based on the description but have them a shot). Their margarita was delish, and I tried the rhubarb drink which was tasty but a little too sweet for my liking (and I'm a sweet drink chick). Service was great despite how busy it was. They don't have a ton of seating and it was packed but they seemed to be turning over tables quickly while we were there 530-630 waiting for our takeout order which came out 30 min later than they said it would. Nice ambiance. They also have pull tabs if that's your thing. Small bar that seats around 8-10 people. Would definitely go back! read more

Located in a small business building next to a gym just south of the Albertville Mall, you could easily say this is the best spot to eat in town. We decided to eat there after seeing the poutine on the menu. The restaurant is small, and was pretty cold inside the day we were there. They have patio seating, but obviously during the winter in Minnesota we weren't able to take advantage of it. The poutine was pretty darn good. Especially the pork that was in it. The meat was really what impressed me. Honestly it impressed me so much that I was probably overly excited about the wagyu burger I ordered. The burger was alright and the fries were pretty good. I understand that wagyu is expensive, and this was actually my first time eating it, but I couldn't say that it was worth the price. With how awesome the pork was in the poutine, I was disappointed that I hadn't ordered something that was pork related and certainly won't make that mistake next time we stop. One last note about the place, just so you're not surprised, the beer and seltzers are sold in cans, and they do not carry anything on tap. read more

This was my first time at the restaurant. What brought me on was another Yelper's picture of a pretzel/charcuterie board, but they no longer sell this. My friend and I tried the dry rub wings and cheese curds. The wings themself were more of a rubbery texture instead of a good crunch. The curds tasted good, but they were served cold. On the plus side, their homemade ranch is amazing and the service is very attentive. They do not have anything on tab. All alcohol is canned. read more

This is the H&H burger from the Hen and the Hog. I had only half of it because we weren't looking to get too full, and we shared a delicious jumbo pretzel and wings as well. The burger was a bit less juicy and seasoned and the bun a bit less pillowy than my top favorite burgers in the twin cities, but still very good, and definitely far better than most restaurants' burgers. I wouldn't go far out of my way for it, but if in the Albertville area for the outlet mall or any other reason, I could definitely get it again. read more

The cheese curds / cheese balls were amazing. Don't skip them! Pork Belly was good but the crusty bread had a fishy taste which I didn't care for. I had the hen. Didn't love it but was okay. Wish I would have asked for suggestions because many plates looked great going to other tables around us. Service was pretty good. Food was brought out hot. She kept our drinks full. We were seated fairly quickly too. Our table was lopsided so we had to be careful at times. Loved the pictures and art! Husband didn't care for his food and barely touched his entree. She didn't ask and he didn't share. We were enjoying our time with our daughter so he didn't want to complain. Daughter said she would go back just for the cheese balls! read more
