Hens Up Chicken has become a neighbourhood favourite in New Westminster for its wildly popular rotisserie and fried chicken, serving the community for over 6 years. Known for its golden, crispy skin and juicy breast meat, this small restaurant has built a reputation for reliable, flavour-forward chicken you can grab on the way home or order for a family dinner. If you want honest, well-cooked comfort food, this is the place I tell friends to try.

Their menu is straightforward and satisfying. Start with their half and whole rotisserie chickens, roasted for about 90 minutes and brushed with a garlic-herb glaze. The fried chicken comes in pieces or sandwiches, and they offer a spicy but balanced Nashville-style option and a milder classic buttermilk. Sides include hand-cut fries, tangy coleslaw, and a daily mac and cheese made with aged cheddar. They also sell family meal bundles that serve four to six people, and a seasonal honey-garlic glaze that often sells out on weekends.

Hens Up runs like a neighbourhood kitchen rather than a big chain. The team is small, about eight regular staff, many of whom have been with the restaurant for years and know regulars by name. Orders are cooked to order when possible, and the open counter lets you watch chickens turn on the rotisserie. They accept phone orders at 778-397-1254 and offer quick contactless pickup, plus a simple online ordering page for larger takeout orders.

People choose Hens Up because the food tastes like the kind of meal you’d make at home if you actually had the time. It supports local suppliers, appears at the New West Farmers Market on occasion, and often runs weekday lunch specials for nearby workers.
