Just tried this restaurant for the first time when I was in Gilbert this morning and I am so glad I did! Although there was a small wait they got us seated in a timely manner. The service and food were fantastic. Our waitress was very attentive and asked how we wanted our checks divided at the beginning of the meal which I always appreciate! The food was so good it made me want to try and recreate the recipe in my own home. I highly recommend this place if you are in Gilbert and want a satisfying breakfast or lunch. read more

The food at either Henhouse Cafe is incredible. The pancakes are so gi-normous that I often will get an order to go and have that as breakfast for a couple of days...and snacks for those couple of days...and maybe lunch one of those days...and still maybe end up having one of the 2 pancakes remaining. For under $10!!! We love the place so much that we go every Saturday morning. They don't even ask our name, in fact they ask us by name how many today. They are always friendly and warm. Some servers, of course, are better than others but they all project the feeling that they love being there. I have my favorites here which taste incredible (Diablo Scramble is my personal favorite). We bring all of our guests here. And when co-workers from other states come to town I bring them here. As a road warrior finding a great, consistent, reliable place for breakfast is a cherished find since we so often have to stuff our bellies with hotel "breakfast". Love, love, love, love! read more

Great little atmosphere. Last couple times eggs and one time the pancake, have not been cooked but would still return in heartbeat.

You're making your wait longer by reading reviews!! More folks are getting in front of you. Just get in and eat. You'll be glad you did.

Stopped in on my way out of the state at 6:30 AM on a Sunday. Friendly staff with nice hot coffee. Excellent breakfast wish I would have found this spot 4 days ago. See you again soon!' read more

I love the food and the service at Hen house! The veggie skillet & any of their pancakes are the best!

Right when I walked in the staff is very friendly. I came with friends on a Saturday waited about 30 mins and it is so worth the wait. If you are feeling something sweet you need to try the captain crunch French toast, but if you want a pancakes,eggs or bacon they are amazing as well. whatever you order will be great! The orange juice is good as well. Our servicer was a man and he was amazing! Friendly and nice in conversation! read more

We ordered one of the large pancakes for our work and the thing was the size of an entire pizza box! What a great way to wow our staff! We typically order from this place early in the morning and always receive speedy service. Great tasting food, low key restaurant. read more

Absolutely delicious. Everything is fresh and obviously made with love and care. Great down-home recipes. Absolute best breakfast place in the area, and we have eaten at all of them. Try the biscuits and gravy or the French toast. read more

Love the vibes! The food is amazing! Pancakes are HUGE!! Great customer service

When my son and I first arrived they said it would be twenty minutes for a table for two. It ended up being a hour because the manager said we could only sit at a two top. When they had multiple four tops open read more

Best chicken and waffles I've ever had. Great service and great food. They are busy but the wait is definitely worth it.

Absolutely in love with their breakfast. Everything tastes homemade. So glad we found it. read more

Henhouse Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I keep hearing people talk about this place, so we had to try it. It's pretty mediocre. I wasn't impressed nor was I unimpressed by the food. They do have a stack of pancakes that's ridiculously huge though! We had a pretty long wait, but that wasn't really a big deal. We were expecting to wait anyway because of how much we had heard about it. Since they were really busy, I wasn't expecting to get great service... so when our server gave us the bill, but ran someone else's credit card for us and ours for them, I wasn't surprised. I felt bad for her though because she seemed pretty overwhelmed. Then the manager who was fixing it for her started lecturing her in front of all the customers, including us. The manager was too hard on her for a little mistake. There was no need to embarrass her. I actually would try it again and give them another chance. Everyone makes mistakes and hers was so innocent. I would actually like to go back to see if they do a better job with the food. read more

It was just ok........ nothing special. Service was average. Food was average. Coffee was average. For example........ Their potatoes they serve for breakfast are sliced boiled potatoes. Not fried, no onions or peppers just sliced boiled potatoes. Even processed hash browns are more appealing. Their gravy is resturant "just add water" no sausage bits or anything. How can not make gravy? Or fry potatoes? I would call this place the "Lazy Hen" read more

Would have been 5 star if they knew how to cook eggs. Everything was great besides the hardboiled eggs on the benedicts. Good service, good coffee. Great potatoes. Omelette was good. Hollendaise sauce was good. I plan to go back and hope it was just a first week issue and the cooks figure out how to poach an egg. read more

Been here twice. Love it! Great food, service, atmosphere and large portions. This place is a keeper.

Delicious!!! I got French toast and some scrambled eggs... both cooked to perfection. Great place for families or to go with friends. Such a cute location... minimal seating however so there is a long wait for Saturday's and Sunday's when I tend to go. read more

Breakfast here was quite good! I had the southwest biscuit & gravy plate, with the eggs & extra-crispy bacon. The gravy was very yummy, but I do wish it had been a bit hotter - I think it took a while to cook my bacon up nice & crisp, and they'd plated the B&G already. So it was a bit cold, but that didn't stop me from chowing down. read more

Farm to table ingredients make delicious dishes. Breakfast and sandwich dishes are plentiful to choose from. Good home cooked meals. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

So yummy. Huge portions, good prices, fresh food and friendly service. It's our new breakfast spot!

Came in on a early morning on a Wednesday and wasn't a great experience. We walked in and were guided to sit at a booth. We sat there for 15 minutes before we were greeted by our server, even though there was plenty of servers and people surrounding us. As we sat there, there were 40 plus flies surrounding us. I can understand a couple of flies, but come on everywhere... Definitely not going back for the not so great breakfast. read more

I just went to this location with a girlfriend. I love Henhouse and have been to the Mesa Riverview location. This review is based solely on the service. Our waitress was wonderful and still learning some of the job. We ordered our food and my friend made some modifications to her meal. We waited for over half an hour for our food which I knew from past experience at other location that it was an unusually long wait. When we finally got our food our waitress came and apologized for the long wait but another server came with her and started to scold my friend for making the modifications. She said, "next time you can't order like that and if you want the items separated you need to order them A LA Carte." my waitress came back after the other server left and was so apologetic and said she was sorry and that she didn't know and she got in trouble. So it's ok... Thats fine but they shouldn't have scolded a patron. They should have just said" we're so sorry for taking so long, we don't usually allow orders to be separated." my friend has made a comment that she will not be returning. I'll just go back to Mesa Riverview. read more

The only thing they don't charge extra for are the toothpicks. I'm sure that will also be charged. Owners must be hungry for money....too bad since the food is OK. read more

This place was amazing. Hospitality was great and food was amazing as well. Pancakes are huge and I pretty much had the best skillet ever too. I highly recommend this place. read more

Spur of the moment stop after noticing their signage from the nearby main intersection. Went out on a limb and tried some interesting mixes for breakfast. They also had specials which I was torn between. Did not notice any of the lackluster attention to detail or substandard customer service listed elsewhere. My wife and I had a delicious meal and will return when in the area. read more

I liked this place. Came here for Mother's Day and we were seated fairly quickly. I had the BQ chicken salad which was delicious except for the fact it came on spring greens. It weirded me out a little. My mom had French toast which I tried and loved. I'll probably get that if I go again. read more

HORRIBLE STAFF. Manager cleared our plates before I was done eating - when i protested, I was told that there was only "this much food left", she deems herself the eating police telling customers how much they are allowed to eat. I told her I wasn't going to pay for my entree. She said she would discount it 50%, came back with the bill discounted 15% because that's how much food was left on the plate and that' s how much her "corporate" manager was discounting it. Trust me folks, there aint' nothing corporate about this place. I said, no. It was unbelievalbe that this manager wanted a scene to be made in a busy restaurant during breakfast because they wanted me to pay $6.00 for food I didn't get to eat. Seriously? I wrote a letter to "corporate" aka owners, which don't have a "corporate" mailing address - only the restaurant address so let's be real here. The fish rots from the head, if this is how the owners allow their managers to run the place then I guess I'm not suprised I havent' heard back yet. TIP: EAT FAST OR THEY'LL TAKE YOUR FOOD AWAY AND CHASTISE YOU FOR WANTING TO EAT IT ALL. P.S. food isn't worth the trip anyway, but that's not the point. Go to First Watch or Snooze. read more

Yessssssssss. Breakfast/ brunch is the best part of the day and henhouse threw down! So yummy!

So, I'll start off by saying that the breakfast burrito is incredible. If the restaurant were operating on a basis of breakfast burritos (and very friendly service staff!) alone, this would be a five star review. Alas, however, the rest of the menu is pretty unremarkable. The other half ordered the waffle breakfast and there was nothing significant to distinguish it from any other breakfast joint in a ten mile radius. Because of this, waiting an hour on a Sunday morning to be seated and get our food kind of struck me as a waste of time, The atmosphere, too, is lacking. BE WARNED - this is a family restaurant, and if the persistent background ambience of wailing children isn't to your taste, you will not enjoy this little piece of Mormon country. But if you have wailing children, I guess this is the place to be! Oh, and there's a sign in the men's room that says "My wife gives sound advice, 99% sound 1% advice." Kind of stupid, kind of sexist, didn't care for it. read more

Wow, this food is GOOD!!! Never been here until now, and we are making it our new spot!!! The service is so friendly too!!! Haven't eaten that good in a long time!! I go to a lot of places, so that saying a lot! Cant wait to come back!!! read more

Waited about 15 mins on a Sat morning for brunch for 4. Had the chorizo omelette which was really flavorful and comes with lots of sliced potatoes. Service was prompt from the moment we sat down (waters, coffee, food) and in our case we had an especially attentive and friendly waitress. Also had the homemade chili which was lukewarm and not a must have. The short stack pancakes are huge (10in diameter), fluffy, and not overly sweet. read more

YES YES YES!!! GREAT breakfast at a great price! First timer, got the chicken fried steak and eggs with potatoes and biscuit and gravy and its is SOOOOO GOOD!!! The potatoes are amazing!! And they even gave me some burnt crisp potatoes!! I LOVE the burnt parts! Bacons on point!!! The food is GREAT!!! read more

When we arrived we were greeted and told a wait time of 45 minutes. 25 minutes later we were called. Our waitress introduced herself and took our beverage order. 7 minutes later our drinks finally arrived and asked if we were ready to order, we all placed our order in. 40 MINUTES LATER our food finally arrived! That took one star away! Our waitress didn't even apologize for the long wait. My brother order a side of pancakes that never arrived and my sister order cheese in her burger and her burger was all wrong. She didn't even refill our drinks, minus 1 star. I don't think will be coming back, we will Stick with our favorite Sunday place "The Good Egg". read more

Best breakfast place in Gilbert in my opinion. Prices were good. Service was good. We will be back

My husband and I discovered HenHouse through a friend a year ago, and we go now more often than our friend does now. The green chili skillet is to die for! Today, I would like to recognize an attentive waiter, Mike. My husband and I noticed how attentive he was, to everyone, including our table. It's so difficult sometimes to find such an attentive waiter, especially during the busy time that we went today. I am in healthcare as a PA, and it is difficult to find attentive staff. When you come across a good employee, it's important to recognize them! Keep up the good work Mike and Henhouse! read more

Fantastic!!! Unique dishes and very friendly service. My first experience here was a great one, I will definitely be back!!

Went for breakfast on a Saturday and there was a short wait. It was worth it. The short stack of pancakes is huge. One was a touch under done but good light fluffy pancakes. Everyone at the table agreed on that. The green chile pulled pork skillet was very good. Great service also. read more

Great place great service. Id like to give a shoutout to a girl named isabell, amazing worker. Would highly recommend this place to anyone

Santa Fe omelette was great although charged an extra $1 to swap bacon for the sausage (btw - both meats cost the same on their menu) and $.50 to get salsa with a Santa Fe omelette! Ordered side of corned beef hash. Way too salty! No potatoes or onions in it. Just fried corned beef. Little weird. My friend had Chorizo scramble. Eggs separate from the chorizo on the plate. She said chorizo was very good! Charged her extra $.50 for onions. Liked the charm of the place and we both liked our meals, just felt like they nickel and dimed us to death! I thought the table was sticky and asked waitress to wipe it down. She said she would but never did. I would give them a so-so rating. read more
