fyi
The county (Rockbridge) went Trump (around 62-percent). The city itself might have been closer to a 50-50 split. In general, all non-urban counties of Virginia....are ‘red’. Cities like Arlington, Richmond, etc....usually are 70-percent ‘blue’.
I wouldn’t go there.
1. It’s dirty
2. They gang up on visitors and run them out.
Ha! VMI is anything but left.
To help repair the damage, perhaps the town could spend some of those funds apologizing big time to Sara and inviting her back for a chance for them to show her that she is welcome there. But I am betting that they will not do anything like that being the leftist they are.
And what major institution of higher learning is in Lexington? There is no bleed over into VMI.
#GetWoke and become a joke.

We were on our way north on I81 in mid-July, and we actually drove past there as I wanted to see just what this dip-stick joint looked like. Afterwards, we went to the local Walmart to use the rest rooms before continuing our journey north. So we did our little part to help the local economy by contributing to the sewer system there....all thanks to the Red Hen as we’d probably never have stopped there otherwise.
The
Tourism Board should give the money to Lexington to ‘tar and feather’ the Red Hen owners and haul them out of town!!!
“””Please Note: We will charge your credit card $45 per person. The total amount will be subtracted from your final bill when you dine with us. If you cancel more than 72 hours before your reservation, you will be fully refunded. Thanks for your understanding.”””
Imposing a $45 charge to make a reservation will turnoff anyone. What a way to make my day!!!!!
So sad that their overt and premeditated rudeness to a customer caused a town emergency. That reminds me - I need to post another Red Hen review. I may post about their neighboring businesses that are trying to protect those disgusting people too.
Very blue leftist city. They don’t want to honor the history of that area.
Bad chicken will not draw tourists.
Yes, but the leftist on city council don’t like Lee. They don’t want to promote the cities history. So they re screwed. The radical left.
The Red Hen is now #6 of 61 Restaurants in Lexington on TripAdvisor. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g57896-d1115746-Reviews-The_Red_Hen-Lexington_Virginia.html
Before the Red Hen owners engaged in anti-social behavior by booting Sarah Sanders from the restaurant the Red Hen was the #1 rated restaurant in Lexington. Good to see the Invisible Hand of Capitalism at work in a Socialist Totalitarian restaurant.
I thought the most recent review was interesting.
MissTBlu West Hollywood, California had this say: “As a locavore restaurant it is natural that their menu will change frequently. When I first sat down I was concerned as there didn’t seem to be any offerings for this pescetarian/vegetarian.”
It appears Locavore pescetarian/vegetarians really like the Red Hen. Only problem is there are only a few of them.
The Red Hen may not need tourists if it’s got a sugar daddy. Though if it does have a sugar daddy, I doubt the largesse is being spread around the other affected businesses.
Wife and I were in Lexington last week. I was a bit surprised that the Robert E. Lee hotel still stood old and proud but happy to see that. The historic district is nice and is dominated by restaurants, artist and other specialty shops. My wife (a very selective shopper) even found a dress to purchase and we ate lunch at a local restaurant. All of the shop owners were most pleasant. While I would never consider eating at the Red Hen, I’m not going to boycott the entire area because of one shop. If the other merchants banded together in support of the Red Hen, then I would boycott the general area.
They already are trying to erase Lee from memory. Though they were kind enough to recommend the school not be renamed at this time.
Is that true?? I only go there when travelling to meet friends in NC. We always stop and say hello to the General. I’ve never eaten in the town although I have bought coffee at one of those fancy yet crummy coffee bars.
