The Smokin' Hen House

"Delicious BBQ! My husband had the nachos. I had the Burrito. Both were delicious! The bar tender did mention they can close early if they aren't busy, just to be noted."

"We had a wonderful meal. Texas Twinkies smash burger tacos, cream corn, beans and potato salad. Everything was awesome. Super friendly waitress. Definitely check it out if your in the Yuma area. The restaurant is inside an RV campground with a security shed. The guard gave us a temporary pass to go to the restaurant."

"We finally went down there. Wow, we are going more often! My husband said it was the best bacon cheeseburger he has ever eaten. I had the smash burger tacos and am in love! The meat was the best tasting I have had since we raised our own beef. Next time we are trying the chicken sandwich. Everything is made by them. Worth coming all the way out here. But we are at Imperial Dam so it isn’t far."

"The Smokin' Hen House is about 20 minutes outside of Yuma, you can either take Highway 95 or S24 to get there. Their located inside the Hidden Shores Resort. If you're looking for more than just great food, the resort gives you access to its boat launch for $15. That gives you access to the boat launch and the beach. There's no cost just to visit the restaurant. The Smokin' Hen House is family owned and operated. The recipes are a combination of their family's recipes and the creative minds of the family matriarch Mama Cheri and her kin. The Smokin' Hen House received the Yuma's Best award for catering. They're known for their ribs, chicken and their signature Texas Twinkie (stuffed jalapeño wrapped in bacon). Aside from amazing barbecue, they also offer some incredible desserts like homemade pie, and a variety of cheesecake bites. Now, if you're the type that likes a little sweetness with their Guiness, ask about their float."

"What a disappointment. We saw long lines at the food truck in Yuma and decided to visit the restaurant. We came in on a Sunday at noon. More seats were empty than full, they had a limited one page menu, and were informed by the little girl, who did a fine job waiting on us, that they were out of brisket and several sides, including beans, collard greens, and french fries. Management should ask themselves how they can be out of sides and BBQ meat at opening on a weekend? I guess they don't have the smoker onsite or running daily? I suspect that's the case as the ribs seemed to be reheated or overcooked. The bones were soft and edible, if you like that. The BBQ sauce was cold and poured all over the ribs. The sauce should be on the side so you can choose because good smoked meat should stand on its own. A better sauce can complement the meat without drowning it. The Mac n Cheese and slaw were good. The bacon in the breakfast bowl was undercooked. They appeared to be short on staff, but managers were onsite talking to locals and not attending to details that could have prevented the problems we encountered. They should probably stick to the food truck. We will definitely not be returning and would not recommend it."
