Swung by to try their jumbo cinnamon roll. The employees were polite and quickly rung up my order. The roll itself was not the best I've had but still pretty tasty ...light fluffy dough, lots of swirls ... just wish there was more cinnamon goo. Also not surr about this but the frosting tasted and smelled store brought. I could be wrong though! read more

I've been to henhouse many times and it is always top-notch with their food. It is so good. We went on a Saturday and we got seated in about five minutes. They have opened up the restaurant to make more room for seating which I thought was amazing. The staff was all very kind and helpful. The establishment inside was clean. If you haven't tried this place you need to come try it. The one I went to is 3133 South Lindsay Rd. that's their first one and I love that one.!! Keep up the great work I love this restaurant read more

Everything you would expect, per the name! Diner atmosphere, friendly and efficient service with good comfort food! I had the HH Breakfast Sandwich. All I can say is WOW...and...if you're watching your cholesterol this may not be the meal for you! lol! This breakfast was DELICIOUS! So full of flavor. For a little something sweet my dad and I were going to share a cinnamon roll but they were already sold out for the day. Instead we had a side of Cinnamon Glazed French Toast. It was okay but not my favorite. Definitely a breakfast place I would return to. read more

I love henhouse cafe and I always go to the one on higley, decided to try this once since I moved and my friend and I did not have a good experience. Building was 90 degrees and humid and we got a bunch of food and all of it was burnt. They also denied an order my buddy always gets but the other location doesn't. I swear I'm not a complainer but it was sooo hot in there. read more

I had a very pleasant experience here. Arrived on a Saturday around 11am You could tell it was the end of the breakfast rush, we were sat right away. Heard the server said 0930 is their busiest. Tables a bit small so I could see someone with a taller bigger frame may not like that. The house coffee was good black, well bodied. We weren't offered top offs so idk if that would have been extra. My bf got their strawberry filled French toast that he really enjoyed. We both don't like overly sweet things and it was just at the right spot. I got the mini blueberry pancakes, and I really enjoyed them! Full of flavor, dense and airy all at the same time, and they are huge, def can split that. We got a side of eggs and bacon- basic. Extra charge for the whip cream, only 99c but it would have been nice to know when being offered. Our server was nice and friendly. My only critiques would be I wish they blasted the AC a bit more, coming in from the heat, I want to be able cool down before enjoying my hot breakfast. Lol One cup had a lipstick stain, even tho I'm sure it was clean an extra wipe down would have been nice. The bucket of creamers had an empty old one in there lol so just a bit more attention to a small detail like that. Other than that, we were pleasantly surprised with our visit and both would come back. From previous reviews I think just be aware that way you can fully enjoy your visit. Don't bring in outside things, plan for a large party, and avoid the rush if you can. read more

Went a couple days ago used to go once every other week. Was disappointed this time my dad a vet that has traumatic brain injury needs to have thickened liquids to drink so we brought in one for him So he can eat. Some guy with a beard came over to us and said no you can't have that. We tried to explain why my dad had to have it he just said. My dad is a veteran and still gets back to his country. read more

Strangely upon arrival before sunrise, the store did not look open, then actually had this conversation with the Janelle & Barta, who are so friendly & represent the store very well. When you arrive while it's still dark out, look for the "open" sign, they're open! That's a great thing because it's . Service is 5 star , pleasant, attentive & helpful. Sitting at the counter allowed me the joy of hearing the Chef (John's) music, his Playlist is excellent & I really appreciated it, almost as much as the delicious breakfast he makes. I had the Pork Chilli Verde with scrambled eggs & potatoes! This is my go to dish at the Henhouse, everytime regardless of the location, this dish is excellent. Get to any of the locations, but come see Janelle, Barta & John down here because they know how to represent a top notch store! read more

Cute place for breakfast and lunch. Met my ex-coworker here for lunch. For food we ordered - mix of food. My friend ordered the cinnamon bun plus eggs/bacon. I ordered the BLTA as the cheese for the grilled cheese was limited (no Swiss for me). The BLTA was delicious. The tomato bisque was underwhelming and cold. The cinnamon roll was good but full of air. The coffee was hot and good. We enjoyed our lunch and would return. Service was friendly and quick. read more

Big portion size for breakfast. Server was good and our meal came out quick. Chicken fried chicken was okay, typical breakfast meal but the gravy was missing something- it was almost too bland IMO. Biscuit was good- highly recommend that, nice and fluffy w a nice outer crisp. read more

Henhouse Cafe has been on my radar for over a year, and I finally had the chance to visit in August. My husband and I arrived shortly after 1 PM on a Saturday and were greeted and seated right away. The cafe wasn't busy at that time. The atmosphere was relaxed. We ordered the following: Cinnamon roll Veggie skillet Irish Benedict Cold brew Though the cinnamon roll was big and looked tempting, it turned out to be a bit dry. My veggie skillet was delicious and filling. I appreciated the generous amount of veggies. My husband ordered the Irish benedict and enjoyed it as well. The cold brew was quite good. Pleasant experience overall! read more

Enjoyed breakfast at the henhouse. I had the corned beef hash and my husband had the machaca beef skillet along with orange juice and coffee. The orange juice was fantastic and tasted freshly squeezed, the coffee was just ok. Our server was super sweet and allowed me to switch the bread to a small pancake for a small upcharge. The pancake was HUGE and delicious. It had a cinnamon flavor that reminded me of snicker doodle...so yummy! Lots of ample seating throughout the restaurant. A good choice for anyone that loves breakfast. read more

They serve up wonderful breakfast! This place is always rock'in. A very good sign people love it. The staff is friendly, smiling and right there, to fill your coffee or anything else you need. And it's family owned! read more

Not very accommodating nor customer friendly. The food was okay but way too much for everyone at the table. Such a waste!! I asked if I could order half a Belgian waffle and the answer was no. Other breakfast restaurants are much more accommodating for smaller eaters. I can't go back there because they waste sooo much food and all their answers are no when asking for any changes. Food was good but not outstanding. Service okay as waitress was curt and not friendly. Way too many other breakfast restaurants in the area that I'd rather patron. read more

Checked out this breakfast spot on a Saturday. It was a bit busy but we got seated right away. We placed our order quickly and the food came out fast too. I got the strawberry cheesecake French toast and it was so good! My husband also liked their iced coffee, so much he got two. This place is a bit medium size but definitely a place to check out. We will definitely be back again. read more

The server was delightful an busy, we were greeted with water & order taking( really important on Sunday after service). The temper of the food was excellent to enjoy my crispy bacon& waffles more than enough.. (took good home also) Coffee was plentiful the server went by three times with offers to refill or water fills. I enjoyed the busyness, the sounds of happy people enjoying a good meal.... Good place to eat good food, & friendly people. read more

Over priced and slow service. $100 for four people and the breakfast was meh. First watch is much better!

This place was very busy, but was not crazy or too loud to be able to hold a conversation. The food came out very hot, and after not too long of a wait either. The breakfast sandwich was piled high with chicken, bacon, eggs, and a great, thick biscuit. The potato wedges were fantastic, especially with the gravy. read more

Searched for croissant sandwich and found this place. Their business culture is annoying because they go too hard on rules and don't focus on customer needs. Tried to call in a food order and they said they have to take payment over the phone. I was 3 minutes away so I told her I would just order when I get there. Then they still tried getting my info. The girl on the phone seemed like a robot with a script. Then I went in to order asked for a drink menu and they said they don't have one. No iced coffees or flavored coffees. Got regular coffee, no stirrers. Service was mediocre and unfriendly. Signs everywhere about all their restaurant rules add to the unwelcoming feel of this place. Would have given them a break if the food was competent but it disappointed. We got croissant breakfast sandwiches. Flavor ok but greasy as f. Accompanying potatoes almost had the right texture but they were dry and bland. The lady taking the order made a big deal of asking how we wanted our eggs cooked on the sandwich. I said over medium. Taking a bite, yolk ran down into my hair and on my shirt. How does one get yolk in her hair from an over medium egg? Trick question, over medium eggs shouldn't have runny yolks. Maybe this place should just lean in to their rude, humiliating treatment of customers similar to Dick's Last Resort. Instead of Henhouse, they should change their name to "Cockpen". read more

Had brunch with friends at this location on Sunday and woo was this place busy. We arrived at 11:45am and there was a wait. We were told about 30 minutes or so which we didn't think was bad as we thought it was going to be longer. My name was called out when our table was ready and we were seated. The server came over right away and he introduced himself very kindly and took our drink orders. Once he brought the drinks out, he took our food orders. We ordered: 1 Grandpa skillet 1 Veggie Skillet 1 Kids meal - eggs, bacon 1 Barn Buster 1 Chicken Fried Steak 1 Short stack of regular pancakes The food didn't take too long and we dug in. I had the Grandpa skillet and it wasn't what I expected. It had no flavor and was very bland. I basically used the whole bottle of Tabasco and salt to give it some flavor. My friend said the veggie skillet was also the same way and she found that it had no flavor. The chicken entrée was the best out of the group and the chicken tasted amazing. If I were to go again, I would order this. We originally decided on having brunch here because of the big ol pancake we have seen all over social media. When ordering it, the server let us know that it was huge and it was more for a group of 10 or more people. Good thing we listened to him and went with the short stack because we ended up sharing it and we still had a few slices left over. We found it to be a little too dry for our liking even after putting butter and syrup on top. It was nothing special. The restaurant was clean and the service was great. Our server did a great job on checking up on us and was very nice. read more

Review of The Henhouse Café If you're craving a side of unsolicited political commentary with your iced tea, The Henhouse Café is the place for you. My sister (from 2 different states) and I were in town for a funeral and met another sister for what we hoped would be a quiet lunch. Instead, before we could even finish ordering drinks, the owner, who makes sure you know he's connected to Major League Baseball, plopped down at our table and began what can only be described as a one-man podcast. Topics included: how terrible COVID was for his business, how bird flu and egg prices are the fault of Joe Biden, how wonderful life is now, how harmless Donald Trump's "stupid tweets" are, and a detailed update on the impressive size of his children's trust accounts. Because nothing says "enjoy your lunch" like a financial portfolio recap. We were clearly trying to have a private conversation with lunch, I attempted to redirect. I tried polite cues. I even tried silence. None of it worked. The monologue continued uninterrupted, apparently powered by pure self-congratulation. For the record, we did not ask for a political lecture. We asked for iced tea. After two sips, I left $2 on the table and walked out. It was the most peaceful part of the experience. If you're looking for food and conversation with your own tablemates, you may want to try somewhere that understands the concept of hospitality and indoor voices. read more

I love their fried potatoes their food are is really good coffee is good service is good don't go there on the weekend though you will wait an hour to get in there that's how busy it is I'll give it an A+ read more

This place is cute and has decent food, but prices are really high. The chicken fried chicken is great. Biscuits are huge and gravy is delicious. Potatoes were very good and I'm typically not a huge potato fan. Eggs were a little runny. Bacon is eh. I really didn't like how expensive this place was. Kids meal was $11! Crazy! Portion for kids meal wasn't impressive for the cost either. If you want to add chocolate chips to pancakes they charge you an extra $1 too! When we just wanted water, and didn't order drinks, it was obvious the girl was annoyed. When I ordered the chicken fried chicken, the girl tried to sneak in another charge by asking me if I wanted extra gravy for my biscuit. Don't ask me things if it's not included. They forgot to bring out one persons meal at our table. We had to flag down a girl to get her to find the meal. The check came out and it's one of the systems that the waitress stands and watches you pay and tip. Super awkward. Also they have tip options starting at 20% on tax! Be careful. Make sure you do your own math and don't tip on tax, unless you want to. Probably won't be back anytime soon. read more

Our family tried this Henhouse cafe location recently and thought it was just okay. Let's start with the positive side. Staff members were lovely! Engaging, proactive and helpful. One staff member realized that our kids were waiting awhile for food and starting to get antsy so she brought over a little cup of fruit. That tamed my baby's hunger over until the food came. Truly appreciated and we felt seen by the sweet gesture. Wait wasn't long at all. They do seat all table guests at the same time so make sure you all arrive on time to not delay the process even further. We ordered biscuits and spicy gravy (with extra on the side as per other reviewers advance) , huevos rancheros and a kids breakfast. The biscuits and gravy was okay- my husband didn't need the extra gravy. Huevos rancheros was delicious but was missing the refried beans. That was disappointing. I tried to tell a staff member but she thought the potatoes were the refined beans . I wasn't in the mood to push it further. The kids enjoyed their meal so that's a plus. They also enjoyed the novelty of the extra large pancake. Would I write home about this place? No however, I'd maybe come back to try something else on the menu. read more

My wife and I have been going to the Hen House for quite a few years, but the quality of what we've been ordering for years seems to dropped off. I ordered a Belgium waffle with eggs over easy and sausage. I was brought my over easy eggs first, with a promise the rest of my breakfast was coming. About 4 minutes later, the rest of my food arrived. I slid my eggs atop my waffle and sliced into them both. The yolk in the eggs had congealed by now. The waitress offered to replace my eggs. I asked her to please take the breakfast back so it all could return hot together. (I prefer to eat my breakfast food all together, not separately.) She seemed to struggle with what to do. When my breakfast was returned, my waffle was quite doughy in parts (just like my wife's waffle), and the patty sausage was too hard to "cut" with my fork. BTW, the 2nd round of over easy eggs were perfect... read more

Oh my goodness. What a surprise. Great people great product Very convenient for my house glad to have some options Looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend read more

What a cute spot! We just stepped in for breakfast because it sounded good and we were starving. The atmosphere is really cute, with a farmhouse vibe and the service was really nice. We had MyLinh and she was friendly, attentive and helpful. The food was pretty good. My Mom got the two egg breakfast with bacon. I tried a bite and we both agreed it was good but not great. I ordered the Beyond Grilled Cheese which was great. The dish comes with Tomato Basil Bisque which is what made the dish so good. Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup is one of the best culinary combos. I would come back. Cute place, nice service and decent food. read more

Thumbs down to Henhouse Cafe. Food was bland and saturated in bacon grease. Service was horrendous. The waitress was extremely rude.

When we got to the Henhouse Cafe it was BUSY but someone told us you can sit in the back at the bar & since it was just the 2 of us we hopped on it!! It was also fun to watch the business of the staff!! It is a pretty small place so be ready for that. We did not get the huge pancake but holy it looked great!! I ordered their biscuits and gravy ((most recent obsession)) and my hubs got the croissant sandwich. We loved their breakfast potatoes, I ordered mine extra crispy. Loved them!! And their diet coke was perfect!! This place is definitely a cafe, nothing fancy but super good!! We will go back for sure!! read more
