Laura was an excellent server! The service and food was amazing! I love coming to henhouse!

Laura was the best waitress that I've ever had! She was so polite and courteous I will keep coming back!!!

My wife and I love coming here. The Irish Benedict is my fave, but we have never had anything we didn't like. Ben is an awesome server, and always made sure we were taken care of! We will for sure be stopping by again on our next trip to Chandler. read more

The best breakfast place in the east valley. We have our favorites but this place is number one. The blueberry lemon mascarpone pancake is 12" round. Great potatoes. Service is excellent read more

Laura and her service was amazing and so was the food. I highly recommend this restaurant. We've been here multiple times and it's always good. read more

Henhouse is me and my dad's favorite breakfast place to eat when he's in town and almost everytime we get Laura as our waitress. She's not only really welcomjng but enjoys her job! read more

We loved our breakfast at the Henhouse! Laura was so helpful & we are excited to come back for lunch sometime.

Great little restaurant and wonderful food. Nice atmosphere and a unique menu. But the staff and servers do not wear a mask.

Great service. Good food. Lots of comfort food options. Not too many healthy choices but still tasty!

Went to the one in Gilbert. Finally being able to get in it's always so crowded. I've been to the one in Mesa lovely experience. And I have no concerns with Gilbert my waitress was very generous very nice very attentive. The restaurant is a little small so I felt a little cramped in but other than that the food was delicious and the service was great this would be a restaurant that I highly recommend. read more

Kudos for originality. The Chicken and Waffle Benedict is a must have. The scalloped potato side was a little soft in texture, so a crispier potato or more traditional hash brown would go a long way... regardless, still a must have when in Mesa. Staff service was really good also. read more

My wife is the one who saw this place and wanted to try. We can for brunch on Saturday. First they were not really practicing social distancing. Menus were not being clean after customers have handled them. Food was mediocre., oily and ok. Expensive for what you get on your plate. No wonder they don't post their price on the menu online. Not great quality. Service was so so. Don't think would be back. $3.29 for a soda in plastic Pepsi cup.. not worth it. read more

Great first impression. Clean, cute and very busy. The staff is very positive and I was lucky to have Cortney "Ginger". Her smile, energy and attention to detail was top self. The food - I tried the chorizo scramble with a side of French toast. Everything tasted fresh and hot. I will return. read more

eggs overcooked, bacon barely lukewarm, pancakes undercooked, tast like raw batter which made cutting them very difficult with a butter knife and fork. 3rd visit here and I have been disappointed every time read more

I had to downgrade my previous 5 star rating based on a recent visit that was fraught with problems. I wish I could give a better rating and I sure hope my latest experience was only a temporary downturn for this restaurant. On a very busy day (Memorial Day) I visited with my parents and wife. We were told there was a 45 minute wait and we thought that was OK, since it was obviously busy. However, we were called to our table LONG after 45 minutes had elapsed. As a side note - the tables didn't seem to be managed very well - some sat empty for what seemed a long time even though patrons were waiting. Lisa came to take our drink orders but told us she wasn't our waitress. We were ready to order since we'd had nearly forever to look at the menu and our waitress never showed! After a while Lisa returned to the table and told us that she actually was our waitress and took our orders. It was about 12:50, two hours after we first arrived, when the food finally came. Several other tables that were seated after us received their orders while we waited. We asked for the manager and the check because we had a 1:30 appointment. My wife's waffle was tough (how does that happen?), she wasn't served the eggs that she had ordered, and the blueberries appeared previously frozen though they had claimed fresh. The rest of the meals were not in error, but potatoes served with them were a bit under done. To the restaurant's credit, Lisa's manager was receptive to our complaints and apologetic - he discounted the bill to make up for our lost morning and listened to us. To her credit, Lisa was super pleasant and apologetic. I don't think that she has the blame. Still, there's some blame that falls on the staff - someone should have set expectations appropriately, managed the work load for the kitchen, and rode quality control on the orders. I'm going to hope this was a rogue wave of staff absences and high demand that put this place off its rails. read more

My breakfast took almost 30 minutes to be delivered. I ordered an omelet and requested cheddar instead of Swiss cheese. The server never checked back. After 12 minutes, I finally waived her down and asked for another omelet, which she served and was delicious. When I asked for two boxes for my leftovers and the wrong omelet, she said she'd have to double charge me if I took the incorrectly prepared omelet, even though it was obviously not prepared the way I asked. I told her my husband would it and she said she had to throw it away. What a waste! read more

Excellent food! Fantastic green salsa in my skills and chorizo in the Diablo scramble. My wife is a Mexican food snob and it was beyond her expectations....especially for breakfast. WARNING: Now, as for the "kids pancakes".....they are ridiculously oversized. They make for great photos and conversation and laughter but these things can feed four adults...I am not kidding! read more

Don't go to this establishment if you want to have a healthy option. I asked if I could create my own omelet, she said yes. Do you have egg whites? Yes, but there is and extra charge for those. Can I have something other than the potatoes that come with it? Yes, but that's an up charge as well. I basically got some avocado on my omelet for an extra charge without the potatoes. The omelet was just OK with sliced cheese on the inside and missing the green chili that I asked for. Also, I asked if I can have a small pancake for my 21 month old? She won't eat everything that comes with it on the kids menu. "Yes, but the pancakes are the same size regardless" (the size of a small pizza, by the way)... for a baby? Even a big kid couldn't eat the whole thing. Seems like a total waste of food. My suggestions: Offer a healthier option and maybe make it cost more on the menu if the items really do cost your more so you don't have to mention "extra charges" to make it seem less appealing. Also, offer an actual kids sized portion of a pancake. Maybe a few silver dollar sized would be plenty for a toddler a few more for a bigger kid. The one that we received was the same as a "side" pancake an adult would order. What we received was more than any adult should ever eat in one sitting. Sharing it between 2 adults would even be filling. I know it sounds silly to complain about portion sizes being to big but wasting food is a problem and I hate doing it. I wasn't going to eat the rest of my daughter pancake and it's not going to be good the next day. Why isn't it possible to take the same batter and make a smaller pancake and charge a couple bucks? read more

Not sure what has happened to this place but it used to be a great breakfast spot. It is really going downhill!!! Food isn't as good (overcooked, undercooked) and service is really struggling (servers unorganized/arguing over sections and very slow, orders wrong). It shows because the last few times I stopped by it is not near as busy as it used to be. To bad they let it go I used to enjoy eating here. Seems like none of the employees want to be at work. read more

Got takeout for breakfast this morning. The Diablo Scramble was not great. Bland with a jalapeño thrown in here and there. However, the giant pancake was good! Mixed feelings. read more

The hype over the HUGE pancakes wasn't really worth the hour wait but it did give all three of my kids something fun to talk about for the day. They ordered the huge pancake and only ate about half. They enjoyed the crazy huge size however didn't think it tasted very good. I had an omelette which was tasty and the service was great. I would eat here again read more

Had a great start to our day at Henhouse Cafe. We really enjoyed the kitchen sink omelette and the Cali Benedict. Our service was wonderful- coffee cups never went empty! read more

Overpriced food, rude and A belligerent manager and owners. They have no respect for the staff or the customers.

What a great new place we found, fantastic menu the food was delicious. The portions were generous and they have the greatest pancakes!

Cute little breakfast spot. Everyone was friendly. We especially loved our server Courtney. Food came out fast & was delicious. My only complaint would be that we ordered our 20 month old son 1 scrambled egg with cheese. The egg was $1.49 and the grated cheese on top was $.99. Really!? Lesson learned to not order eggs for him here. read more

Came here for breakfast. We ordered off of the specials menu and the food was just ok. Their breakfast potatoes are undercooked and shouldn't really be called breakfast potatoes since no effort was put into making them. My son loved his pancake and house made sausage. Unfortunately we won't be back to give it a second try because of the no substitutions rule. If I'm a paying customer I should be able to ask for a simple substitution and not be penalized for it if what I'm requesting is a cheaper option. Customer service 101. Also, this strange water bottle rule is ABSURD!!! It's the dead of summer and people are carrying water with them and aren't allowed to bring it in, WTH! read more

We were fortunate to have been awake a little earlier than normal this morning, and decided to give this place a try. I can see why this was voted the best place to get breakfast in Gilbert. Really glad we got there early, because by the time we were finished eating, the line was out the door. Food was great- I had biscuits and gravy and my boyfriend had French toast... I'd recommend both. Portions are enormous, so be ready to take half of it home! Prices are extremely reasonable, especially for the portion size. Service was really great- our coffee cups were never less than half full... which is saying something about how prompt the service is because we both drink it pretty quickly. Definitely will be back... but will definitely get there early again. read more

Waited half an hour for our food and it came out cold second time in a row we received cold food sorry lost our business

Great food and great atmosphere. Husband and I went after our gym session. We were in and out with happy full bellies in about 30 minutes. And it wasn't like we were rushed either. It was nice. Definitely plan on returning read more

Always great food. Menu is wide ranging, but not so huge that it leads to order paralysis. Service is friendly and efficient.

Great homemade rustic delicious breakfasts. Cozy place, small town feel, and super polite staff. Go here for breakfast if you havent yet.

We LOVE this place. Easy bike ride off the canal, and they have some amazing Eggs Benedict choices. OH and their crispy French toast is bomb. The single and ONLY downside is they have the most expensive cup of coffee in town. Yipes! read more

Henhouse Cafe - California Eggs Benedict and he had the Texas Benedict on jalapeño corn bread. We shared cause the flavors were all spectacular - Cafes Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Green Chili Skillet!!! That's it. First time we went there, the owner recommended and I have never gone astray. Will keep it simple, the food is AWESOME. Kids and wife love the Country Benedict. Service needs work and kitchen is slow. On one visit, we waited almost 40 mins for our food and we were sitting at the bar. We have also tried calling in our order for pickup but they have never been on time when they tell us how long it will take. Would be a 5 star if service and food wait times were bearable. I will always go there for the Green Chili Skillet but I know to set my expectation. Do not go when you are hungry and set yourself up for a wait. read more

Wow! First time visiting this place and I was blown away! Following many recommendations here, I knew I wanted something with their chorizo sausage. What better than the Chorizo Omelette, which was spectacular. I'd been torn between that and the Biscuits & Gravy (I crave comfort food) with the chorizo sausage gravy. Fortunately my sister ordered that and I had a taste and it was exceptional. Gotta give a shout out to KELLI who made our breakfast great. She explained the menu and offered suggestions (and confirmed our choices). Plus my coffee cup never went empty! She totally made the morning. Unfortunately ... I live in Florida which is 2,100 miles from the Hen House. But I'll be back in October on my next visit! read more

First time here and couldn't fault the place. It was really busy for a weekday. Breakfast was very tasty, potatoes were particularly good, English muffin was a step up from the usual and homemade sausage patties made a nice change. Waitress was very attentive and friendly as were all staff. read more

Food is good, but accommodation sucks! The Manager and hostess told us hen house cafe cannot accommodate big parties of over 7 and up, I watched them give tables to people who just walked in rather than keep the table open for our party of 8+ especially since our party was next on the list. As well as a party of 15 that was given the okay shortly after us. And don't expect your party to sit together....ours didn't on a holiday ment for family gathering. For the long wait and non accommodation, poor table seating planning...it's best to skip this place and move along! Ps Also heard the front greeter tell her manager, "I give up, I'm done! I'm done!" read more

Every time we are in Gilbert we make sure to stop in here, such excellent food! Wonderful service too.

Had a breakfast date with a friend. Neither of us had been here before. Wasn't blown away but it was definitely good eating. Would go back for sure. There pancakes are INSANELY huge though!!! One would be enough for a family read more

We like this location best but rarely get out to Gilbert now that our son is no longer at Poly. A small stack of pancakes is 2 huge dinner plate size pancakes! We had the blueberry pancakes, lemon blueberry pancakes, and the corned beef hash and everyone was very happy with leftovers for the next day! read more

Plate sized pancakes! Went for brunch this past Sunday and got the lemon mascarpone pancake with a side of bacon. The pancake was huge, as were my companion's pancakes, and these were normal portions. The table next to me ordered the "mama" stack...two panels yhe size of TWO dinner plates. They had to carry leftovers out in a pizza box! Good eating and the place was filled to capacity. read more
