Great pancakes!…read more Breakfast here was a win. I ordered nothing but pancakes. Buttermilk pancakes and Chocolate Chip pancakes. So so good. They were fluffy, smokin' hot, and beautifully plated. These pancakes are huge too. The plate of pancakes come as a stack of 3. I had a single chocolate chip and added one of the buttermilk pancakes to it and that was still plenty. The server and hostess were very nice and the atmosphere was quiet. I'll be back for lunch :)

This place was surprisingly bad about accommodating my soy intolerance. I called in advance and was…read moretold they cook most things in a canola/olive oil blend, which is good for me. When I got there and ordered, I told the waitress about my intolerance and ordered a salad with chicken. When my food came out, I was told my salad didn't have chicken because I couldn't eat the chicken, or any other meat in the restaurant, because they coat it in Pam spray (soybean oil). For a place that prides itself on making their own dressings, etc., you'd think they could've figured out how to cook chicken in an oil that they use for everything else. Perhaps if they'd communicated better about my intolerance instead of not thinking about it until immediately when my food was ready (which was quite a while after we ordered), they could've found someone in the restaurant who was capable of making non-vegetarian food with something other than soy spray, but I may be giving them too much credit. They also didn't offer us a high chair for our toddler, which was strange. He wound up doing fine in the booth, which was for the best because a high chair probably wouldn't have fit well where we were sitting anyway. The waitress was apologetic and nice about my food screw up and offered to make me something else, but there wasn't much that could be done given that apparently no one in the restaurant knows how to cook meat without soy spray, plus we'd already waited quite a while for our food. The beet salad was tasty, as was the bread with honey butter and the Chai latte, but I would've left feeling more full if I could've added meat to my salad.

Perfect Retirement Celebration Spot! Thank you OHSO Gilbert!…read moreWe celebrated my wife's retirement at OHSO Brewery + Distillery in Gilbert and could not have asked for a better experience. We reserved one of the VIP cabanas and it was ideal for a group. We had our own dedicated server who was incredibly attentive all night, and there were 2 TV's inside the cabana so we didn't miss a minute of the MLB Playoffs on September 30th. So much room to move around and actually have conversations with everyone -- not cramped at all. Best part: we got to bring our dog Ellie to celebrate with us. OHSO Gilbert is super dog-friendly and they even brought Ellie water and a homemade dog treat for the patio. We ordered just about every appetizer on the menu -- the Buffalo Chicken Dip, the potstickers, all of it -- and we really liked them. We ordered dinners and dessert as well and were pleased with all of it. And for a retirement party on a budget, it was very inexpensive. We were able to host an our group, have our own space, and still come in under our retirement celebration budget. From the dedicated server, to the cabana with TVs, to being dog-friendly and easy to book, OHSO made it SO easy. Thanks for making her retirement night so memorable -- we'll be back!

My son had ordered food from here as takeout last year. The food taste was interesting, though, I really like the cheese dip for the pretzel bites. The bites were pretty big. Lots of tables at this location, a bit warm. But our party of 14 was easily accommodated. Our daughter chose this place and it was quite loud. My husband and I are quiet people, so if we were to choose again, probably not here because of the loudness and all the TVs all over the place. But for those who like it loud, TVs and do not mind the prices on the menu, have at it. I don't remember our server's name. If she told us, I couldn't hear what she said. She was alright. Honestly, I had a hard time hearing even my son who sat next to me, and hearing my sister who sat one seat over in front of me, I couldn't hear what she was saying. Loudness is an issue for me and I do not have hearing issues. Our bill with tip came to over $700+. That was the most expensive lunch we've ever spent for our party of 14. Typically we're in the $400-500 range. But it was a special occasion. My husband and son got the 36 hr ribs. My husband really loved them. My son said it was okay. I didn't ask my brother and BIL who also got the same dish. I know my BIL was unhappy that he didn't get the side he requested and when they gave it to him (asparagus, I think), it was cold and he wasn't pleased about this. I got the hub burger and it was okay. There was a lot on the burger, but the patty itself, didn't have that much flavor. Some of the "Starters" or appetizers things were salted too much, but the burger did not taste like it had any salt. I had eaten too many starters so when my food came, I wasn't very hungry and took most of it home and ate for dinner another night. My husband and son do not like coleslaw and I ate theirs. THIS I really liked and tasted much better than KFC. I loved the sweetness and that the cabbage was shredded bigger than KFC. The pretzel bites were good. We got wings, and they were so-so. The roasted brussel sprouts were too salty. The deviled eggs were okay, but pricey for 2.5 eggs, which I do pay at Trader Joe's for organic free range pasturized eggs I could've gotten over 2 dozens. But, yes, I pay for the service and ambiance. I really thought there would be more than 5 halves for the deviled eggs. We got the nachos and they were okay. The melted cheese sauce was the best part. My mom got the fish and chips and she seemed to pick at it. She didn't want to take home, so it must not have been that good because she almost always takes a doggy bag home. My sister had the salmon and it was in a huge bowl and didn't look to be that much food. It was pricey. One of my SILs got something I didn't recognize and she said it was okay. No one I could tell was over the moon with the taste of the food and I heard the word "interesting" quite a bit. It's not that it tasted bad, but it didn't really taste good good. You know what I mean? I did bring a special order cake I got at Nothing Bundt Cakes in Gilbert. I asked Culinary Dropout if we could borrow a cake cutter. They didn't have one. Weird. This was a Red Velvet cake and this was absolutely divine. It was moist. The frosting was some sort of yummy cream cheese frosting. The cake was perfectly sized for our party of 14. The cake was the best part of our meal and it didn't come from Culinary Dropout. I would pay this much for a meal at Roy's for lunch for this sized party, but alas, all the Roy's in the valley are closed down. So sad. I'm not saying this place is bad or the food tastes bad. It's okay and pricey. If the food was great or amazing, we don't mind pricey. We have paid over $1K for meals for our big party, and happily do so when the food is equivalent to the price.

My only critique is the layout of the front room. There always seems to be a line, but there's not really a good place for it to go besides in front of the entrance and the water station. It turns into a lot of "excuse me" and people weaving around each other. It's definitely a good problem to have because they're clearly popular, but I hope as they continue to flourish, they're able to expand into a larger space or rethink the flow a bit. Either way, I'll absolutely be back. Just save me another coconut brown sugar latte.

Subject: Concern Regarding Policy on Outside Beverages Dear [Restaurant Manager Henhouse I am writing to express my deep disappointment following my recent visit to your establishment at Lindsey and Pecos with my 85-year-old mother. As we entered the restaurant, I was informed that outside beverages were not allowed. I complied with this policy, putting my Starbucks drink at the front as requested. However, my mother has kidney disease and requires a specific amount of filtered water to stay hydrated and manage her condition. Despite explaining this medical necessity to the waitress and requesting an exception, we were told that her bottled water could not be allowed inside. I understand that you may have policies in place regarding outside food and beverages, but I believe this situation highlights a significant oversight, especially considering the extreme heat in Arizona, where temperatures can reach 105°F or higher. I did not see the signage indicating this policy at the entrance, and I feel that it is crucial for businesses, especially those serving food and beverages, to accommodate health-related needs, particularly for vulnerable individuals like my mother. I plan to share my experience on review platforms and social media to raise awareness about this issue, as I believe it is essential for consumers to be informed about how establishments handle medical needs related to hydration. Additionally, I may consider discussing this matter with local health authorities to understand if there are regulations that support customers with medical conditions. I hope you will take this feedback into consideration and re-evaluate your policy regarding outside beverages, particularly in situations where health concerns are involved. Thank you for your attention to this matter. read more

We wouldn't go back. Here's the good and bad of the place. We just ate there less than 30 (thirty) minutes ago so about 8:30AM on a Saturday morning. It has an uncomfortable, very old-lady atmosphere. Quite cramped to the point that you feel like you are dining intimately with the strangers at the tables next to you. The portion sizes are far too big for the table sizes crowding you into an uncomfortable dining experience. They portions are generous to the point of making you feel like you are paying for food that you will never eat and is wasteful. For example my wife ordered the short stack of pancakes which is two pancakes. They are 11 (eleven) inches in diameter and as thick as your finger. Between the two of us we were able to eat a half of one pancake, leaving a full pancake and a half uneaten. The server laughed and said "Yes they are $16 (sixteen) dollars but will feed a whole family." I thought the pancakes were a bit chewy but the syrup and butter were OK. The biscuit was INCREDIBLY light and quite nice to eat but the bottom was overcooked and tasted a little burned. Like many other reviewers we didn't feel like we got value for money. We left feeling like we had spent far too much money and that food was wasted. We will eat somewhere else in the future. read more

OK, so I saw the ridiculousness about Amy's Bakery Cafe, and how they treated their customers. I've been holding this in for about a year, but now I'm going to tell it. I went to the Henhouse Cafe at Guadalupe and Higley Roads about a year ago and have never been back. Here's why. I ordered the seafood Benedict. The menu says it has shrimp in it. Mine had NO shrimp in it. It was still tasty, and I ate it. I did not complain or ask for anything from the staff. When I went to pay, the cashier asked me how everything was. I told her all was delicious, and in passing, I said "but the seafood benedict did not have any shrimp in it." I said this AFTER I paid and as I was walking out the door. Upon hearing this, the cashier said "let me get the manager" and I said there was no need to. She said she would do it and ran off and got someone who said they were the manager. He said to me "the cashier just told me you said your seafood benedict had no shrimp in it. You are mistaken. There was DEFINITELY shrimp in there." I said, "OK, you're right, there was shrimp in there" and left. I've never gone back because of his condescending attitude to me and my intelligence. Too bad, too, as the food wasn't bad at all. read more

I dared to ventured through the doors of this establishment again. Should have know better. Ordered the benedict with the sausage and sausage gravy and coffee. The coffee was mediocre at best and as usual the sausage was burned to a hockey puck consistency. Do they honestly think a person won't notice the charred remains of what was once sausage cover up with a tan substance called gravy. I tried to talk with a manager, but any attempts were ignored, or staff didn't relay to management there was a mistake. I don't get this place. With so many other breakfast places in the area why is this place so popular? The food is inconsistent, the staff is weak and sometimes down right rude. They nickel and dime you to death is you want to substitute a single item for another and they charge you for condiments such as mayo. There are much better breakfast places including Denny's and I-hop. read more

I visited the Henhouse Cafe for breakfast with my family and we had a great time. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious and generous. We ordered the Santa Fe Omelette, the Cali Roast Beef Sandwich, the Raisin Bread French Toast, and the Small Stack of Pancakes. Everything was cooked well and tasted fresh. The pancakes were huge and fluffy, and the raisin bread was a nice touch. The omelette and the sandwich were both filling and flavorful, with plenty of cheese, meat, and veggies. The only downside was that the place was very crowded, and crowded is good! We did have to wait for a while to get a table. But it was worth it for the quality of the food and the service. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a hearty and satisfying breakfast. read more

This place is absolutely wonderful. It is so popular that sometimes you have to wait to get a seat, especially on Sat & Sun. The food is great and they have my favorite potatoes just like Mom used to make. Brett, Mo and staff are very helpful and friendly to customers and want everything to be great for all. I have never tried the pancake because it is bigger than the plate and I couldn't eat that much at one sitting. The toast is huge and specially make for the cafe by a local bakery I believe. You only need one slice as it is so thick. Sometimes when it is crowded, the food comes out a little slower but it is so good when you get it that it doesn't matter. Have an extra cup of coffee and talk to friends while you wait. read more

We waited until 11:31am to be seated, and were seated INSIDE? No one was outside. We figured there must not be anyone available to work patio. We ordered our drinks and food right away as we had time to think about it during our wait, and knew what we wanted. Our food came out, but we didn't have silverware or our drinks (Morning Meditation and Blazing Dragon). My husband had to get up, go to the bar, and ask for silverware. We had water and my daughter had her apple juice so we went ahead and started eating. Our waitress came by and asked if we needed anything else, we asked, "Can we please get our drinks?" She went to get them and they were fairly watered down from the melted ice by that point, but they were still good. My food was okay. The pumpkin pancakes were a bit mushy in the middle, but otherwise tasted fine. Chicken apple sausage is always good. My over medium eggs that I gave to my husband were hard. And while eating his pancake he said, "Why does it taste burnt?" His top pancake looked fine, but when we picked it up, the second pancake was burnt. We told our waitress and she said she would have it redone. The second pancake showed up and again, it was burnt, not as bad as the first but still enough for it to taste burnt. Our waitress took it away. The pumpkin donuts were exceptional. My daughter liked her pumpkin pancakes, but she didn't understand why they put chives on her eggs. I told her probably because pumpkin pancakes were not on the kids menu, but we can let them know no chives next time. We were about to leave when we looked outside and they were seating a family of 6ish people. Maybe they got someone to come in? Overall, it was busy, there were some kinks... the food was alright. The place is clean and you can tell everyone is trying their best during the rush, we were just the unfortunate ones who got the domino effect of things not working out.

Today I ordered two Market Hashes, one with basted eggs and one with over easy for takeout. My basted egg was like an over hard egg which is not what I expected. Lots of potatoes, not enough veggies. Food was super salty, I couldn't finish my dish. I doubt we will be ordering from here given the quality seems to be going down and the prices are relatively high for what we're getting. *pictures are from old orders which actually show how great things were before*

It had a cozy atmosphere and great service. I appreciated the drive thru at the time too. So when my friend was in town, I decided to head over here thinking it would just be the same as a remember. Boy was I wrong. The exterior looks the same except they added some new signage. Upon entering the restaurant I was shocked at how everything changed. It went from a country type atmosphere to a stale almost Asian kitchen? I was nervous because I wanted biscuits and gravy and this place looked like I would have to order dumplings instead. I did see a sign inside that still said "Biscuits".... So even though we were apprehensive, I still decided to sit to eat because I remembered how good their biscuits and gravy were. If you have been here, you would know the interior walls are circular not straight, so the new tables they had connected to the walls made it so the seats were angled which made you super close to the table at one end and then far from the table closer to the wall. Not comfortable at all. We were greeted by a very nice server and I proceeded to ask her what happened to this place?! And in the kindest way she stated about 9 months ago it's under new ownership and that they will eventually be turning it into like an Asian fusion at night offering Asian food at that time. In my honest (business minded) opinion, this was the worse choice anyone could have done with this place. They are removing the exact things that people liked to come here for (food/recipes/decor/concept). If they have new ownership and want to change it to an Asian fusion restaurant, they need a new name, new branding... all of it. If the owners are reading this, you need to research the following terms: Brand Promise (and breaking it), Brand Equity and Brand Harvesting (or milking the brand). Once you understand these marketing concepts you'll understand your brand and marketing will need a complete overhaul and refresh. This place will unfortunately struggle to survive until these changes are made. Back to my review. I ordered my favorite biscuits and gravy as that's what I wanted to come here for. They have completely changed the recipe of their gravy. It was bland and almost just tasted like thickened water. I couldn't even eat one bite. Home fries/country potatoes were okay and eggs were okay. Bacon was hard in some spots where I had to pull it out of my mouth because I couldn't chew it. My friend got a breakfast sandwich and said it was just "okay nothing to run home about" and "you can't really mess up a breakfast sandwich". The (who I think was) owner came to take our plates and he saw my plate just about full and he offered for a to go container and I said no thank you I couldn't even eat it I don't like it. He said "oh..." the server came and said did you want a discount? I'm like who asks that? Of course? It should just be offered? But I responded well sure of course... so she came back and there was a $2 discount. I laughed. I 100% won't be coming back. I miss the old owners. I miss the old recipes. I miss the biscuits and gravy. I miss the old atmosphere. But unfortunately I will be making the extra drive and going to my favorite Crackers & Co. I hope the new owners take into consideration what my review has said. Either go all in on biscuits and cut the Asian fusion, hire an chef that make authentic gravy similar to how it was made before or cut out the country breakfast all together and get a full rebrand and dive into Asian fusion. We don't have very many Asian fusion places so if you do pivot, I think that's where your sweet spot would be.

The restaurant itself gives off more of a farmhouse-y, homey vibe, as opposed to a traditional, vintage diner. All the same, it was a comfortable place to get a bite. The portions were generous and I quite enjoyed the Southern Breakfast that I ordered. The Southern Breakfast consisted of sausage patties and eggs atop a biscuit and smothered in country gravy. It was a hearty meal and also delicious. I sampled a bite of my sister's pancakes as well and they were incredibly tasty. Our server was so sweet and knowledgable on the menu. I will absolutely return here for future meals--great spot!

How cool is that??? All the ingredients are high quality and the fresh ingredients speak for themselves. They source their food from Healing Earth Farms Market, a solar-powered vertical and aeroponic farm. The Coleslaw is on the sweet side but my goodness is it tasty and it complements the savory sandwiches. The Iced Tea is brewed fresh; Lemonade and Raspberry Lemonade tasted great. Baked goods are bomb. We had Cherry Cheesecake in a Cup and Strawberry Shortcake in a Bucket. Yum! All in all, this is a really delicious lunch spot.
