My biggest complaint is the wait. We had a larger party but couldn't make a reservation. Food was okay.

Great family restaurant. Great menu. Service was on point. Coffee was incredible which is my biggest need! This is the second location I tried and both were very clean and well socially distanced. All the food was great. read more

Popular breakfast joint so come early to grab your table. There isn't tons of seating so smaller groups may be better. Lots of great breakfast choice. I loved the banana French toast. read more

Just ok. Big portions, but just feels like a lot of carbs without a lot of flavor. The server was nice and attentive.

Stopped here by chance after an early morning appointment and was pleasantly impressed. Food was amazing..and being from the south usually the west cannot compete for breakfast but I may need to rethink that! Service was fast and staff was friendly. Loved that it wasn't overly loud and could actually enjoy my breakfast. read more

Went here today, our party was a total of 4 people. They wouldn't seat until the whole party had arrived which was fair, but put my name on a list. Once everyone arrived we were seated immediately, we asked to sit outside and the hostess told us once we're outside we're outside. Almost like a threat? It was a breezy and beautiful day. Our server was David and he Must have been having a bad day. He took our drink orders and came back asking for our order. He was not polite in any way and when I asked for a cup of coffee, he sounded annoyed. He never offered to refill our waters, never refilled my coffee, dropped the bill off in the middle of the meal. Was annoyed when we were still eating that we hadn't put our form of payment in the card holders. One of my friends had their card declined and he felt it was necessary to yell the information? She had other forms of payment, but some social cues does wonders. I honestly say my experience with the server sullied the experience of this breakfast joint. It left a bad taste in my mouth. The food was actually really good and came out quickly. We arrived around 10am and again we're seated quickly. Food was great, service was 1/5. Based off some other reviews it really is luck of the draw for service, the food seems solid. We all enjoyed our food! Personally, I'm never coming back to this location. read more

Henhouse Cafe - Country fried chicken and the breakfast burrito - Cafes Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I think this is the best breakfast place I have been to so far in the area. I have been two times and each time with my husband and son. We have tried 5 different items and all were really good. I wanted chiliquilles this time but didn't see it on the menu. The waitress asked if they could make it and they did. One of my favorite breakfast items. I honestly don't love breakfast but I like this restaurant. The pancakes are humongous. I want to try their breakfast bakery items sometime. read more

10 out of 10. I got the chicken and waffles, I LOVED IT. My husband got the morning meatloaf, it was phenomenal. I even got a side of eggs, and they were cooked perfectly. Our server, Ana S, was the nicest and so attentive. It's a really nice looking place as well. I live in west Phoenix and will be driving out here just to have the breakfast. read more

Great breakfast- varied menu - HUUUUUGE portions, especially the PANCAKES that're as BIG as the PLATE! Unless you're an NFL LINEMAN, most meals will easily make "2" meals! GREAT SERVERS, TOO! read more

Wasn't super impressed with the food at Henhouse. I stopped in for breakfast and ultimately, I think there are better options in the area. Our service was good. They were kind and attentive but the food fell short for us. They were super busy which seems like the norm for them so I don't think it was anything out of the ordinary traffic wise. read more

My husband and I do Sunday breakfast every Sunday, and we have several places in a rotation. After watching "Check Please, Az," my husband was anxious to try HenHouse. We did today, Sunday, 4/6. We got to the very pleasant place and were led to a short booth for two. My husband is 6'6", and I have recently had knee surgery. I asked for one of the 4 or 5 empty tables for 4. The hostess/waitress told us that we needed to have a party of 4 to get one of the tables because "it was about to get very busy" and they needed to keep those 4 tops open. Well, okay. So my husband crammed himself into the seat and had really no place to put his long legs except over my feet. NOT COMFORTABLE. AT ALL. I was going to point out his height to her and ask again, but my husband did not want me to pursue it. I would have, though. I admit to not being happy, and resolved to keep those 4 tops in sight to see if indeed it did "fill up" or get "very busy." Other diners did come in, and some were seated outside at 4 tops. We were not offered that option... Anyway, my husband liked the morning meat loaf, and my chicken and waffle was not bad. The coffee, which is an indicator for me of a breakfast place, was okay (kind of bitey like Starbucks, which is not my thing but would be fine if you're a Starbucks person). Service was okay. Getting out of that 2 top "booth" was a hassle ; my husband swung his long legs around and had to catapult himself out of it. I had to have him help me up by giving me a hand because the tabletop was too small for me to brace myself on. As we left, I saw that three 4 tops had not even been used. Three had been untouched all during our cramped meal. Go figure. I really do feel that the waitress/hostess should not have had a tip but my husband is kinder than I am. BUt seriously, can't a person be trusted to make an executive decision sometimes and seat people on a case-by-case basis? I would not have written this review if we'd had a more pleasant seating. I didn't get her name. But if you are the manager, you might want to have a little chat about it. read more

Stopped in while on business in the area. Went with the biscuits and gravy with over easy eggs, sausage patty, and potatoes- crisp please. When it arrived, it looked great. The eggs were cooked as requested, the sausage looked unlike frozen premade, the potatoes were as requested, and the gravy over the biscuit inviting. The eggs and sausage were very good. The potatoes had way too much salt and were only edible when combined with the gravy or eggs. The biscuit was the worst thing. It was rubbery and impossible to cut with a fork. Not sure the knife cut it so much as helped to rip it apart. I'm guessing the biscuit option in place of toast is not what they serve with their biscuits and gravy. I think it's the oldest salvageable biscuits they have (possibly the day before biscuits they try to revive with a microwave wrapped in a wet paper towel?). They probably have some good food. What I got was disappointing. Staff was great. read more

Review is for new Tempe location in the Fry's shopping center at Ray & Rural. For some reason it doesn't exist on Yelp even though it does exist in Google maps. Leaning more to a 3.5 than a 3. Wanted to check out the new spot for brunch. Have never been to the other locations. I assume the food is the same quality. They are waiting on their liquor license so no drinks this visit. No problem. We had the huevos rancheros and the chicken fried steak. Both were decent. The huevos came with a large portion of sliced breakfast potatoes which I thought was odd. Not too many versions I've had, if any, include potatoes. Especially this amount. Eggs were perfect, sauce was good, and beans were solid. For the chicken fried steak, the gravy was lacking. Definitely not home made from scratch. More like a slightly doctored up box version. Needed a good amt of salt & pepper. Meat and potatoes were good. Coffee was medium strong and pretty good. Prices weren't bad in this day & age, but it always annoys me when they are posted on the website menu. Interested to know what their alcohol selections and prices will be. It was the day after Xmas and they were pretty darn busy. Had 3 servers on and some things were a little slow coming out. They could use a 4th server unless they expect the bartender to also serve when that part of the restaurant opens. We will give it another try. Not bad, nothing to wow us so far either. read more

My friends and I meet every month or so for breakfast and we like to go to different places. Today we met at Henhouse Cafe and were very disappointed in the customer service. We were basically asked to leave because a larger party was waiting for a table. Our server came to cash us out, while one of us was still eating. A few minutes later it was suggested we chat outside. We hadn't even been there an hour. I was surprised when they seated three of us at a table for six, but they could have handled things differently. The food was good, but this ruined the experience and we won't return. read more

I'm revising my review, sadly, based on my most recent visit. The eggs, sausage gravy, and biscuit (which was hard and dry) were all cold, while the potatoes were piping hot but undercooked.. The wait to get our food was extraordinarily long, but our server was very friendly and helpful. The place was really busy and it was a holiday weekend, so I suppose the kitchen was short staffed or maybe not the usual team. It was disappointing because I had hyped it up to the other person with me, based on a prior visit. This visit was as bad as the first one was good. read more

I go here once or twice a week the food is great and so is the service. The portions match the cost so yes I recommend this place.

This place is a must try! Delicious and big generous portions! Loved their breakfast! I had the barn buster... SOOOOOO GOOOD!! Service was great, our server was courteous and prompt even though the place was packed! Super busy! We sat at the bar so there was no wait but we overheard the wait times up to an hour to be seated! read more

I was looking for some good breakfast places around Gilbert and found this one with good reviews. The place was popping at 8:30am but we were seated immediately. People who came after had to wait a little longer for the tables to clear. We sat on the benches at the patio and the weather was pretty good too. We ordered orange juice, veggie omelet, veggie skillet and crunchy French toast. The service was pretty quick and the food presentation was good. The French toast was crunchy but was basic for me. It wasn't any special, so was the omelet and the skillet. The good part was the potatoes served with these omelet and skillet which was delicious. Well done and few crunchy. The rest was as usual. The price is definitely above average, breakfast for three was about $45. The place is good but I didn't see anything great to return back. read more

Henhouse Cafe - French toast - Cafes Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Amazing food!!! I had the green chili skillet which had carnitas and it was by far the best skillet i've ever had nothing more to say about that it was simply amazing. The benedict was also yummy, I am not typically a fan of hollandaise but this one was not overwhelming and I would recommend to those who may not typically order a benedict. The french toast was not overwhelmingly sweet and the fresh strawberries with the custard filling was exceptional. The staff was very friendly and overall a great experience. Only thing I would mark down is that they don't have lattes but that fits with the traditional American breakfast vibe that Henhouse has. read more

Wow! First time in and it was a truly wonderful experience. My server, MyLinh, was so personable and friendly. The food was out quickly and steaming hot. I had the Diablo Scramble and it was delicious. I saw a pancake and it was literally as big as the plate! The portions are huge, a really nice value for the reasonable prices. read more

I have been here a few times and was always satisfied but over time like a car it depreciates this place has to. The services was poor, I had to ask for a refilling on my coffee, after no one checked on us after we were initially seated. Food was delivered and the waiter walks away before I could even ask for condiments. So I sat there while my food was getting cold waiting for a sever to come by. Finally someone came by and took care of us. My wife asked for a side of ranch and the waitress walked to the corner to talk with another server that was pounding down a drink then returned 3-4 minutes later to inform us she would have to charge us for the ranch and told someone else to get it. 2-3 minutes pass by and we finally received the ranch. I would understand if they were busy but they were not. The food was bland and the biscuits were horrible, my biscuits and gravy was a waste. After the little bit of gravy I received was gone I couldn't eat the rest because they were so dry. My wife had a biscuit chicken sandwich thing and when she grabbed the sandwich the biscuit just crumbled apart. I have previously gave this place a good review but it has been 3 years ago and you can see just how far they have fell in quality and service read more

Amazing food and great choices. They give you great portions. The kids eyes when they get their extra large pancake is just enough of a good reason to try. read more

Everyone enjoyed their breakfast but my breakfast was just ok. I ordered the chicken and waffles because it's something I can never make at home. The waffle seemed a little soggy (I like mine crispy) and lacked in flavor. The chicken was good but a couple bites in I cut into a raw area. The portion was big enough that I just went around it. My husband enjoyed his corned beef Benedict and I wish I took a bite. The girls ordered French toast and the other the pancake, which was bigger than her head. The pancake was huge and very rubbery. She still ate tons of it. I can't think what my mother folks ordered but they seemed to enjoy it. The place was busy on a Sunday morning. When we got there they had said it would be 30+ min but we didn't wait more than 15min. The staff was friendly and I'll give this place another try and get the corned beef next time. read more

This Henhouse Cafe location boasts a very similar feel to their other location on Guadalupe Road. Although they also serve lunch, I have only been here for breakfast/brunch. If you're here on the weekends, expect a longer wait, especially if you have a group of 3 or more! They do have some larger picnic tables outside that open up quicker, but with the summer heat, it might not be that enjoyable. There are many classic food options, such as omelettes, pancakes, french toast, etc. They have a kids menu, too. There are some special menu options, including skillets with various toppings. There's a large pancake option on the menu, but be warned! It is huge!!! It is large enough to feed about 4-5 people. Some favorites that my family has ordered include the kitchen sink and the strawberry cheesecake pancakes. There are some breakfast specials that they have and change after a certain amount of time. Most of the food options come with pancakes and/or toast. I have recently started being Keto, and I was slightly disappointed to learn that they don't accommodate for any substitutions for the toast and potatoes. When I asked the server, he said there was nothing they could do. Unlike other places that offer tomato slices, cottage cheese, or a side of fruit, they did not offer any options to me. Overall, this is a great breakfast and brunch spot. If you don't mind a long wait on weekends, it is worth checking out! read more

I was very disappointed with Hen House this time, i have been there several times, I brought my water bottle in because i prefer filtered water and take my water bottle with me everywhere i go, the server told me i was not allowed to have outside food or drink, this was a water bottle, and she told me i would have to set it over by the hostess stand , which i did not do, but i also dod not drink from my bottle, its not like cracked open a bottle of soda, or brought in a food item, she brought me a glass of water which i did not drink because i am a water snob and wont drink unfiltered water, Due to this i will not be returning to this establishment. read more

I got scolded by some friends/followers about my last review of this place. They were concerned people wouldn't read on to the specifics of the meal (which was pretty good). So I'll just dive straight into the food this time. Our table ordered the chicken fried steak, green chile skillet, and mascarpone pancake. Eggs were ordered with the pancake. The chicken came with toast, potatoes, and eggs. So...the eggs were scrambled (available any style, but everyone chose scrambled). They were fine. Nothing fancy. I requested a hard scramble (I hate "creamy" eggs), and they did it right. The green chile skillet was very good, as was the pancake (my wife really liked it). The chicken fried steak wasn't as good as I remembered from last time, but it was still fine. I noted that the potatoes weren't seasoned uniformly. The ones on top were really good, but the ones underneath were "just potatoes". They also burned my toast (not severely, but it did affect the flavor significantly). Full disclosure, I still am not a breakfast person. All my general comments about breakfast from my first review still apply. So if I liked something here that is coming from someone who doesn't generally like breakfast foods. read more

Four of us had breakfast Friday @9am 3/24. Almost every table was full so that's good news (for the restaurant and for us)!! The hostess and our server didn't really care that we were there but it was busy. Two of us got the Cali Benedict and enjoyed it. One ordered the waffle and I ordered the cinnamon french toast. My friend and I split each other's breakfast so we had the Cali and french toast. Regarding the French toast.... Thank goodness we paid $1.00 more for cinnamon because there was more cinnamon than toast -well almost. 4 thin triangles of boring toast, smothered in cinnamon, adorned with a very sweet swirl of sugar glaze and the weakest runny artificial syrup made. Oh, we had a 2nd item on the plate. 1 piece of bacon, cut in half, and placed on top of each other. I wish I had taken a picture but never thought I was planning to submit a complaint. Don't waste $12.99 on 2 square pieces of toast. Sorry for the poor review. read more

Finally made it to this restaurant despite Google map directions. First time here. Ordered the Carnitas Burro that had scrambled eggs, potato, carnitas, and cheese. The breakast burro was smothered in a green chili sauce. It was perfectly seasoned. Ate half for breakfast and half for lunch. They have lots of menu selections. Place is clean and has a country motif. Got there at about 6:45 a.m. They had one server intially and two arrived later. The two servers that arrived later spent most of their time talking to each other behind the counter. Guess they thought these customers are not my customers...so why should I walk around with a coffee pot or help the one server who was working hard but falling a bit behind. Pretty noticeable to a first time customer. Not sure if any of the three were managers or owners but the front end requires better team work so the customer can be better served with a quality dining experience. They missed that opportunity. The food quality is excellent. The menu prices on Yelp are not the same as the actual menu prices so be aware of that when you go there. read more
