7 reviews for Little Red Hen of Glencoe
I have enjoyed everything I have ever had at Little Red Hen including the ribs and hamburgers. A friend told me the veggie burger is good as well. Some of their prices are steep, but this is the high rent district. You always get your food in a timely manner, but maybe with some "old man jokes" thrown in.
There are a few plastic tables and seats inside as well as out, but I have rarely seen people eating at them. Many of the people seem to know each other by name (again, Glencoe is a small, tight knit neighborhood). Regardless, this would be a good place to stop before or after the Chicago Botanical Gardens. It is within walking distance of the Glencoe Metra stop.
I REALLY WANTED TO RATE IT 0 STARS BUT I HAD TO PICK ONE.......I have had Red Hen before in the past and I was some what satisfied. But today let me know that I do not need to ever eat their food again. I was more than disapointed. I was disgusted. I work in the West Loop and we have our lunch catered to us. Today it was from Red Hen. I had taken a few things from the trays and I went to take some cheeese sticks. I took mine from the lower part/bottom of the tray, I wanted to make sure I could get some that were still warm. I wish the tempurature was the reason for my review but no. I started to eat and then only a few bites in I felt something funny in my mouth and pulled out a hair and one from my plate, but the worst of it all is: There was a long curly brown hair literally wrapped around a cheese stick I was starting to bite into!!!!!!!! This is something that happened at the restaurant itself!!!! How can they let this happen????? I was so disgusted that I could not eat the rest of my food. Now I am at work with no lunch!!!!! In addition to this Cheese sticks were soggy! Sent with no sauce !! They are never sent with sauce. Who doesnt send them with sauce. And the fried mushrooms were soggy as well. But I would have been willing to at least try to overlook this if I hadnt been eating HAIR FOR LUNCH!!!!!!
I gave Little Red Hen 1 star, though I must admit I speak less of the food and more of the incident when Jimmy "asked" me to "SHUT THE GOD DAMN DOOR!!" as my small fifth-grade body lingered in the entrance.
A part of me can understand his ire, though, because it must be quite a shock to see middle schoolers cramming into one of two open restaurants in town at 8:00 pm on Halloween.
The food here is excellent, but the management can be moody at times. They are somewhat of a Glencoe icon, but they don't always take the traditional approach to customer service. If they are in a bad mood they will let you know it. If you do come here try the chicken or the pizza.
Red Hen has the best thin crust in the area, pepperoni especially. I prefer pie cut and they will do that if you ask. Great fried chicken as well. Some people can be turned off by occasionally rude staff, though it doesn't bother me as long as the food is good.
A Glencoe institution. Very good thin crust Pizza and excellent Gyros and Ribs. They have a wide range of options on the menu. From Fried Chicken and Italian Beef to Fish and Chips and Pasta. The aforementined thin crust is what they are known for though. I have very found memories of my mother taking me here as a kid. We ordered from here a few weeks ago and its still excellent.
Lil Red Hen is a family operated restaurant that has survived both a poorly fated expansion and a fire. It continues to be the premiere carry out joint in the Glencoe/Hubbard Woods area.
Best on the menu are their ribs (but so expensive... the BBQ sauce is amazing), gyros, italian beef, and steak fries.
