Just saw that The Red Hen in Lexington, VA has been slammed by bad reviews.

The right has martialled their forces.
Hope we can do our bit to fight back.

Just in case anybody does not know, this is the place that kicked out Sarah the liar the other night.

And some of them are from bots, from people out of state who probably never have been there and some of them are even confused where the restaurant is.

Plus, the menu does look pretty good. Had to Google it after this incident.

Good for yelp -

This business recently made waves in the news, which often means that people come to this page to post their views on the news.

While we don’t take a stand one way or the other when it comes to these news events, we do work to remove both positive and negative posts that appear to be motivated more by the news coverage itself than the reviewer’s personal consumer experience with the business.

As a result, your posts to this page may be removed as part of our cleanup process beginning Saturday, June 23, 2018, but you should feel free to post your thoughts about the recent media coverage for this business on Yelp Talk at any time.

And now Sarah three names is using her official position to yam????!!!!! - but then we have known for sometime she is a POS.......

Using yelp to down or up a place you’ve never visited is wrong.

I'm not likely to be in the area anytime soon, but I would be happy to give it to a local DUer to enjoy. PM me if you are local and can do with a $50 gift certificate.

Saw all the one star reviews from the deplorables. They are so obvious and pathetic. I hope this restaurant continues to do well!
