We had our rehearsal dinner for our wedding at Chicken Run this past weekend with 170 people. After a year of planning this truly exceeded all my expectations. Cathy was an absolute pleasure to work with and thought of every detail. A few highlights below:
During the planning process Cathy was always available via phone or email, and we also came by for multiple in person meetings We had to move inside last minute due to rain and they still made the space look amazing and make sure it did not affect the event at all We did not have to worry about a single thing, they thought of everything and made it run so smoothly They knew to have 2 buffets which ensured no one was waiting in lines to get good. My dad kept commenting how smart this was. Cathy last minute found us an amazing musician who perfectly fit the vibe we wanted Every staff member working the event was amazing and so kind. Someone even walked my grandmother to the restroom and waited to walk her back to her table The food was AMAZING! People could not stop talking about how blown away they were and about how many choices were offered. We even had a prime rib carving station with all the fixings. People were saying it was the best Mac and cheese and coleslaw they had ever had. They were so accommodating for any dietary restrictions, including making a special kosher style meal for one of our guests. It was so important to us that all guests felt taken care of and Chicken Run made sure of it. The kitchen was so accommodating to any requests we made for food. They did custom appetizers we wanted including jumbo pickles on a stick and all beef mini hot dogs. The dessert table they put together was incredible. At the end they even gave out to go boxes and all our friends got to bring home desserts for later. People were raving about the soft serve. People were having so much fun we couldn’t get them to leave! Our wedding coordinator had to force people to get on the last shuttle at the end of the night.
I cannot recommend this place enough! Our event was truly better than I ever could have imagined and the staff at Chicken Run treated us with such kindness. When we left I was worried our wedding the next night wouldn’t be able to top this! Thank you so much to Cathy and her team for the most...
Read moreA group of 5 of us came here on a busy Friday night without reservations, when the restaurant was completely booked. We waited about 5 minutes before they sat us, informing us we would have about an hour to sit and eat if we didn’t want to wait for a table since that table was reserved for a party that would arrive in an hour. We figured it was enough time to order, sit and eat, and it was! They put our orders in as priority to speed up the process.
The food here was one of the best I’ve had while on my trip at Hunter Mountain. And you know it’s good when the locals frequent this place as well! Very family friendly and the kindest staff.
Our favorite order was the fried chicken combo with French fries and mashed potatoes w/gravy, and it came with their special honey sauce, and cornbread. The chicken was hot, crispy, juicy and full of flavor! Dipping the chicken into the honey made it even better! Their cornbread was also very good with the honey! And that’s saying a lot since I don’t normally enjoy cornbread from anywhere else. Here the cornbread isn’t dry and is more like cornbread cake. Anyway, the chicken combo was so good, we ordered another one as we’re eating this one and devoured that one as well!
We also ordered the 24 oz ribeye and this dish went pretty fast! For medium rare, the steak was seasoned and cooked nicely, pink on the inside and had a good bite to it. Very reasonable price compared to New York prices!
We also ordered the chicken pot pie with coleslaw. We weren’t fan of either of these. The puff pastry on top of the pot pie was probably the best part. But this one lacked flavor and we would probably skip this in the future.
Overall, we pretty much finished all the food within 20 minutes after it arrived (including our 2nd order of the fried chicken combo!) and were completely stuffed and very happy with our experience here! Would definitely recommend this place and come...
Read moreCame with 5 people at 6pm on a Saturday. Not too crowded. Ample parking. The live music was nice. Cool vibe, decent food, service was ok. Complimentary popcorn on the table was burnt. Some of the sides didn’t taste too fresh. The mashed potatoes tasted like they were instant, the gravy tasted like it was out of a can and the Mac n cheese reminded me of frozen dinners I had as a kid. Chicken pot pie was fresh and delicious. Sausage with peppers and onions tasted pretty basic and lacked seasoning. Ribs & fried chicken were both tender and cooked perfectly but nothing was really bursting with flavor. No wow factor that makes me want to come back. Overall the food was good not great except for the bbq chicken which was dry. Ordered a mixed drink, it was really weak so we sent it back and it was taken off the bill. Deserts were good. Coffee was fine. What bugged me was being charged $1 for a side of hot sauce for the dry buffalo wings and another $1 for the birthday candle in the dessert. Like really?? The bill came to $267.00 but you really needed those extra $2? Probably try somewhere else in the...
