Johns Islanders are probably fat and happy right about now, clucking about
their new restaurant. Chef Fred Neuville’s Fat Hen finally opened its doors
last Friday in the old St. Johns Island Cafe space, and locals have been
scratching at the dirt, anxious to get in there and cram their beaks with
French Huguenot-inspired Lowcountry fare. The lunch and dinner menu range
from down-home cooking to fancier plates, with most of the dishes falling
somewhere in the middle. For lunch and brunch, you’ll find crème brûlée
French toast served with Grand Marnier and strawberries alongside burgers
and fries and mac and cheese. For dinner, you’ll find seared duck breast,
grouper, and hickory-smoked barbecue brisket. Looks like a menu designed to
keep islanders happy for years to come, similar to Rue de Jean’s enduring
popularity.
