On the recommendation of a woman running an estate sale where we stopped, we went to The Hen and Hog for lunch. From the start, it was a lovely experience. Our waitress, Diann, was so friendly and fun. The menu looked so good that we all decided together what to order so we could try a bunch of things by sharing. The decor inside is super interesting- the states listed on the stairs, historical documents on the walls, really neat industrial and wood decor. I tried the pork sandwich box which was amazing!

Looking forward to returning and trying their menu as it changes.
