I hate to say it, but I find this place a bit overpriced and overrated. The wait times are always ridiculous, which is confusing given how many other breakfast spots are nearby. There's nothing on the menu that particularly stands out- everything I've had has been mediocre at best. Staff is friendly but are always rushed. It's cramped, busy and loud. I've been there a handful of times because my family enjoys it, but it's not somewhere I'd choose to go myself. read more

Had lunch there with a friend for the very 1st time...service was awesome & food was delicious and served very appealing.... The atmosphere was quite comfortable!I highly recommend this place ! read more

Potatoes in our omelette and skillet were half raw. Food was flavorless. Pancake was rubbery. We were excited to try this place, but we will not return. The best part of the meal was coffee. read more

We eat here almost weekly. Great food, big servings and great wait staff. Coffee is good, food is good. Would recommend

Arseholes charged an extra .50/egg. And recommended tip start at 28%. WTF! Service wasn't that great. Then the waiter stands there waiting for you to completely pay on their hand held POS terminal. Felt rush. Waitress had a good attitude until she sees the tip. Food is good but not expensive good. Could go to black bear to pay the same (minus the extra charge on eggs) and get more food. But place looks better. read more

New Years morning and was excited to walk in and immediately be seated. usually this place is super busy. I was about to find out why business has slowed down here. I thought I had a couple of very easy requests with the restaurant being super slow, but apparently my requests were too much for the kitchen to handle? request one was no bread or potato, with the new year trying to avoid the carbs. Terry could not accommodate. Then chose something different, patty melt I figured it had no bread and I could add an egg to it for extra protein. Well it is 9AM and chef will not cook a patty until 10 AM even though the restaurant is at 1/4 capacity. I guess I will just watch my family eat. Could not even get a cup of cottage cheese. Terrr piss poor service if I could give you zero stars I would however everyone else is buoyed their meal. read more

Was recommended to try this place for breakfast. We never have been here before, & left with a sour taste in our mouths. My mom & I arrived & were immediately greeted with a warning: no outside food or drink. There's no sign in the shop or on the outside indicating this policy. We were willing to look past it, asking if we could take our orders to go instead. The dude that greeted us (maybe his name is Cinco since he had a necklace that said it- I'm not sure) put our menus back away & we couldn't even look to see what foods were available. They left a very bad first impression, & we will not be returning. They could've been understanding, but instead they were rude to what could've been long term customers. We chose to take our money elsewhere. read more

We came to visit daughters, during Thanksgiving. We agreed to try this little spot! Service was great and our food was delicious. We all loved the breakfast potatoes. Great little spot. When visiting the area. read more

We came in around 10am on a random Wednesday and the place is hopping!! The hostess got us seated quickly and the server came to take our order after about 5 minutes. The ambiance is super farmhouse, very fitting considering the name :) it's good for big and small groups. LOTS of indoor seating and tables outside too. Even though it was busy the food came out very quickly, within about 10 minutes of ordering. I got the Mexican Benedict. It's a pretty large portion! I only ate half and packed the other to-go. The eggs were cooked perfectly! Nice and gooey in the middle. The eggs are smothered in sauce, layered on top of a tostada which is on top of refried beans with salsa and carnitas. My bf got the Paul Bunyan (I think I'm spelling that right?) which comes with bacon, sausage, eggs and French toast! He enjoyed his as well. His was much more basic. The French toast is just normal size French toast, not giant brioche slices or anything fancy, fyi. Also, the coffee here is strong! But taste wise, not my preference. I'd like to give this place 3.5 stars if I could. I'll definitely try this place again! We didn't order it but this place has GIGANTIC pancakes! I saw a different table order it to-go and it comes out in a small-medium size pizza box! (Not actually a pizza box, it has their branding haha) I'll be trying their pancakes next time! read more

So we been to the Gilbert location and except for it being too hot inside, the food and service was pretty good on our first time. Came to this one and probably won't be back- not because of the food but service. I ordered the same thing from the Gilbert location- Chicken fried chicken sandwich and asked for no cheese but a little extra gravy ( a little, not a boat) and when I got the check I was charged a $3 side of gravy. But no discount for the cheese??? It wasn't worth the $3 and the server should have said something. I didn't see any managers so I didn't complain. I just won't go back. I would understand had I ordered a side of gravy but all I want d was to make sure they put enough on as sometimes restaurants get a little chincy. I took it out of the tip as I normally tip 20%+. But I was not happy as extra charges should be explicitly stated. The food was good and hot. It's a shame in the service read more

Only giving one star because the food was ok. The service and manager are terrible. First of all they split the bill wrong it was just my daughter and I with another couple and I paid $50 for a meal that her and I split? Confusion right so after I was confused I asked for a manager and they split the entire bill in half I didn't plan on paying for the other couples stuff. The other couple already left and they fixed my bill and then proceeded to charge the other couples card with out telling them THEY messed up I stood there with my toddler for a hour because they couldn't figure out what went on my bill and how to fix it. Unfortunately people like that will take a business down with them. It's safe to say myself and the other couple will not be back. read more

For the prices you charge the breakfast potatoes should not taste like the sausage. Please cook them separately.

We ordered Mom's Famous Pancakes for 7 of us to share, along with some sides of sausage and bacon. It did not disappoint! The grandkids' eyes were about as big as the pancakes! The service is always great as well as every dish we've ever ordered. I recommend the Lemon Blueberry  Mascarpone pancake as it is my favorite. The hubs like the Grandpa Skillet. It is an all-around great breakfast place, cozy and clean, with indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Some of the best breakfast food I've had in a long long time! A friend and I were catching up and were in the mood for brunch food so we headed on over to Hen House. The wait in a Saturday during brunch time wasn't bad at all, about 20 min. Once sat, the sweetest server waited on us. Super friendly and gave a lot of great recommendations! I ultimately went with the lemon blueberry pancake and a side of eggs and my friend ordered the HH Breakfast Sandwich. Both were AMAZING! The pancake was light and fluffy and full of blueberries. The lemon butter on top was a nice touch. My friend's sandwich looked fantastic and the bite of potatoes I had was perfectly salty and seasoned. The coffee was really good too! The decor is cute and the overall vibe is very laid back, down home and just like your grandma was in the kitchen fixin' breakfast. Very cozy and relaxing. Hen House is a definite must and I can't wait to go back and try more things! read more

Everything was excellent! The food was awesome I had eggs benedict. The service and atmosphere all outstanding!!! read more

I have been to this location a handful of times. I loved a skillet that they no longer carry (I believe it was called the Popeye Skillet), but the grandpa skillet was still pretty good. Service is usually pretty quick even when business and the service is always friendly. Love the quaint, cute country feel of the dining room. read more

I really want to give this place higher stars...the server tried her best, however, the kitchen was very broken this morning and I am going to best that the food is good when it isn't cold... Unfortunately I was left between two bad decisions when my breakfast was brought out and my Wife's wasn't. I could eat in front my my wife, accepting that I am in the doghouse for doing so. Alternatively I could let the breakfast I am paying for go cold...might might be thinking about this time that there is a third option...where we share my breakfast before it goes cold. That wasn't an option folks, breakfast sharing was not brought up during that whole wedding thing...so yeah, just two options... We did speak with the manager who made us a peace offering of some take home pastry and who listened to our concerns, promising that it wouldn't happen again. We will have to plan to come back and see if we can change this review. read more

This strip mall restaurant has become my go-to breakfast place, as it has excellent food, great service and very good value. Be careful ordering pancakes, they're HUGE, fluffy and tasty. The corned been hash and skillets are my favorites, but you can't go wrong with anything you order. If you haven't dined at the Henhouse, I highly recommend you give it a try. read more

Food and services was good. I got a veggie omelette full of flavor that came with potatoes that were also delicious.

I love the customer service and the food I wish the place was a little bit bigger so we didn't have to wait as long to get into have breakfast, but it is so worth it which makes me keep coming back read more

We arrived about 10:45a on a Tuesday....color us surprised that it was immediate seating... we get so caught up in the Sunday post church drive by of a swarm of people lined up outside....which even if there is..always a good indication.... the food is worth the wait. Since it was late morning we both opted for sandwiches over breakfast. That we found out mid-meal were both of server Katherine's favorites. I for the Chicken Avocado Sandwich sans tomato and my mom for the Pulled Pork. Or as she told Katherine "this is the best pulled pork I have ever had!!" I opted for a side of fries... I don't know what their seasoning is but... so good!! My mom opted for the potato salad....being from the Midwest... this was not your yellow potato salad.. she sent it back and was given fries instead. The restaurant was pretty quiet, not loud echo from other tables....quite enjoyable. I like the big windows at Henhouse for natural light. The seating is comfortable; all regular height tables and booths. Note there are Specials on the north wall on a pull down brown paper "board". There was a Carnitas Burrito that Katherine listed all the ingredients to me, said they sold a lot of them but she'd never had one unlike the sandwich I was leaning towards. Then she said it was a favorite so I opted for it and she wasn't wrong. It was mostly that it was so much avocado and the correct juiciness for a chicken breast. I was intrigued by the neighboring mans meal that he said was Huevos Rancheros and it was perfectly hot. Thank you Henhouse for yet another delicious and satisfying meal! read more

31/2 stars on Yelp? So, why 5 stars and not 4? Friendly greeting, prompt service with teamwork among servers. A kitchen that seems to know what they are doing. Real potatoes in the hash browns, fluffy biscuits, tasty gravy, fresh perfectly scrambled eggs. Coffee good enough. I mean what do you want? Egg in your beer? How can this not be 5 stars. No foo foo grub here. Good solid diner style breakfast in a clean peaceful setting. I'm not gonna say all the food is from scratch like the biscuits or gravy but I will say this: the product on the plate is 5 stars. Biscuits couldn't taste better or been cooked better. Have I had better gravy? Yea in 1978 in Tallahassee Florida. This was the best since then. No one here trying to improve on the classics. Cooks just putting out good hot food. JYST sayin. read more

I took my wife to Henhouse Cafe for breakfast this Friday morning. We ordered waters and the wife ordered coffee. I had to ask repeatedly to get drinking straws for the water. We ordered sausage gravy with eggs and potatoes. The biscuits are now stacked to save on gravy! The prices went up, the quantities went down and Henhouse Cafe is expanding the size of the restaurant and number of locations. They have lost their edge and are mediocre... read more

The service was excellent! I ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon. I couldn't taste any bacon, it was mostly potatoes.

Best breakfast and lunch you'll ever eat! The place is busy busy busy, so get there early and come with a big appetite. Everything is organic and made fresh by the restaurant! This is what they pride themselves for! Makes me love this place even more! Made from scratch and organic! Love this place! Sorry folks I came w/an appetite, food was downed before I could take a pic! Belgium waffles w/strawberries, lots of butter and maple syrup was too die for, it's gone before you can say more please!!! They also have Wi-Fi!! Which made this post much easier! My beautiful girlfriend envited me here! Such a doll! read more

Solid breakfast spot! My husband and I decided to stop in this morning, and we are so glad we did. We split the churro doughnuts and OMG. They were soooo buttery and absolutely melted in your mouth. Might even go as far as to say they surpassed Disneyland churros... and that is saying a lot!! Our waiter was fantastic (didn't happen to catch his name unfortunately). I got the biscuits and gravy with eggs, sausage and potatoes. Husband got the chicken fried chicken with potatoes, eggs and biscuits and gravy instead of toast. Be sure to ask for the potatoes well done to make them a little more crispy. Also be prepared to take home leftovers - these dishes are huge! Can't wait to come back. read more

Came to try another location because we enjoyed the Lindsey location so much. Chrissy was our server and she was GREAT! Very attentive and friendly. Jeff the manager was awesome...I ordered the corn beef hash and didn't know it was homemade and had onions...Jeff came over and solved the problem with no problem and got me a new order! Order was great! Overall the experience was very good Only negative is it is NO breakfast meat options other than Pork products. And the coffee was GREAT! We will be back soon. read more

Great place to have breakfast or lunch. We had brunch here and the staff and food is fantastic. I'm a fan of chicken fried steak and this is a winner for sure. Only one place where their chicken fried steak is is just as good or better and that is in another state and its a different style of potatoes served. My wife had the classic eggs Benedict and she loved it. Again a great place and staff, will definitely come back for brunch and will try the chicken and waffles next. read more

I am visiting from out of town and my family took me here. I had the green chili breakfast skillet bowl and it was delicious. It was layered with skillet potatoes, roasted pulled pork, an egg, and green chili sauce, which was not spicy. I really wanted a tea latte, but they don't have items like this here... I want that from a brunch place. The service was attentive, but you are oddly not allowed to bring in water bottle to the restaurant. They asked us to leave them at the door... never had that happen before. Overall good meal with big portions. read more

Me and my buddy come down here for the first 3-4 months of the year and look for a good breakfast 1-2 times a week. Have been to many, some good some not so good. This place is #1. Second the Food and Coffee is awesome. First, Danielle. She is so awesome. I don't think in all the years that I've gone out to eat where that one person stands out. She is so polite, kind and helpful and at the same time can joke with you. I would give this place 5 Stars just because of her but the food really is good. The other staff are just as amazing and friendly. read more

Breakfast restaurants have saturated the market, so how does this one stand out? By its HUGE FREAKIN PANCAKES, that's how. The Mom's Famous Pancakes are no joke! They could literally feed 5 people. It's 2 giant pancakes stacked on top of each other, like something you would see on the competitive food eating shows. They are the size of 2 extra large PIZZAS! These should really come with a pizza slicer. The pancakes are the thick textured variety, almost dense like bread, they are really hearty to say the least. Top it with butter and syrup and let the food coma commence! I think everything is homemade or made from scratch for the most part, which I really appreciate. The main reason I don't go to breakfast places, is because I could simply throw some eggs and bacon on skillet myself, but taking the time to make your own product goes a long way and adds value to the normally mundane menu items. The sausage is made in house and along with the biscuits and gravy. To me, the sausage was under-seasoned and the homestyle potatoes the same. The fried steak was tender and moist and with the milk gravy it was a lot better. The pancakes are somewhat of a gimmick, but as for the taste, they are nicely composed with the butter and powdered sugar to top it. The syrup is not overly sweet and is thin and runny but works for this dense cake to help soften it. As with a lot of breakfast places, this place was bustling in the brunch hours when we arrived. There was seating outside on the patio which no one was taking advantage of, but we did not have to wait more than 10 minutes. During our dining, despite being packed, the wait staff made sure to stop often to check up and was quick to tend to us. The restaurant name is great for branding and leaves a lot of room to build a theme within the design of the restaurant, but inside decor and ambiance is less than inspirational. The interior was nothing exciting and rather plain. This atmosphere is very casual, so you can roll through after waking up or walking out of Sunday service, although, it may be hard to squeeze large groups in this tightly packed space. I'm not much of a breakfast fan but I wouldn't mind dropping in once in a while. 3.5 stars read more

Love this place for breakfast. Large portions so come hungry. Nothing on the menu that is not good. They have the biggest pancakes ever. Staff is always friendly and although it's busy, it doesn't seem like you have to wait too long. read more

Don't know why this place doesn't have more 5 stars. Food - Incredible. Portion size - impressively big. Price for the size - Great. And most of all, service - priceless. (Oops, this isn't a MasterCard commercial?) Seriously though, the service was so excellent. My BF and I came in RAVENOUS after a night of camping at Flat Iron. Our server was so fast we hardly had to say anything other than our order. When we had to ask for boxes, lids, and a check - he was already on it before we finished asking. He literally read our minds. And the FOOD! Oh man so delicious and so filling. We got the chicken and waffles, California Benedict, and lemon blueberry pancakes. It's safe to say we'll be back again. At the end our server made even more food suggestions for our next visit that practically made our mouths water, despite how bloated we were. So you'll be seeing us again soon Henhouse! read more

We were greeted by a cute server and promptly seated. I ordered the eggs Benedict and my husband got the Lumber Jack. Buyer beware the pancakes are the size of a place mat. They looked and tasted really awesome. We got the French toast which was very yummy as well. The food came out really fast. Our server Lexi was stellar. Very personable and attentive. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend for breakfast and they are expanding so soon to be more seating and a bar. read more

Good spot. The Kitchen Sink Omlette is yummy. My only complaint is they don't allow outside drinks. I had my Thermoflask, which had water, and they made me take it to the car. What restaurant does this? You really think I have alcohol in there, and even if I do, then who cares. It will make me think twice about going there next time. read more

Every time I come here, it's a solid performance. Thank you for delivering every time a great breakfast

I've eaten here several times and have always enjoyed it, but today was the best yet. I had the chicken enchilada omelette because my friends were raving about it. It used to be on the menu, but they've since taken it off. You can still get it if you ask for it. It was great! My friend ordered the Huevos rancheros and said it was the best he'd ever had! I will definitely be back! read more
