Long on my list to try, but I don't go out for breakfast too often because I often feel like I can cook breakfast food just as good as going out. Henhouse was overall tasty and the service was good at the counter. It's a much larger restaurant than I expected from outside, so there is plenty of seating. I met a friend there after hot Pilates nearby so we were hungry and thirsty. One thing to know cause I thought it was odd, they don't allow water bottles. My friend had to leave it up front or put in her car. She opted to leave it up front at host stand, but that could have easily been forgotten. I haven't had too many places not allow insulated water bottles, especially a cafe, it's not a fancy place. I carry water everywhere I go in the summer, so just a heads up if you do also. We ordered breakfast and from lunch menu. And we shared our food. We also split the cinnamon roll. It was big and plenty for 2 people but just okay, I've enjoyed cinnamon rolls elsewhere more. I likely wouldn't order again, but was good to try it. I ordered the Ruben which was very good and I also liked the machaca and eggs. It was fun to see massive pancake delivered to another table. That thing is the size of a large pizza. I love pancakes and it's one of the few items that when I make at home are never as good as diners & breakfast restaurants so when I come back here, I'll have to order one and give that extra star if they are fluffy and yummy since the cinnamon roll fell a little short. I also would get my coffee elsewhere as it's a bit basic at henhouse-- it's just cold brew with okay tasting flavored creamer or iced coffee option (hot coffee poured over ice, I definitely didn't want that). read more

A fantastic locally owned cafe that definitely gets busy!!! We came after Pat's run to refuel the body and thankfully were just able to walk in and take a seat. I ordered the breakfast burrito, which I enjoyed. It was really filling. The salsa wasn't my favorite, but I could choose not to use it since it was served on the side and I used hot sauce instead. My husband has always wanted to come and order mom's world famous pancakes, so that is what he did. You have the option of adding blueberries or chocolate chips, so he added blueberries. Boy was this stack crazy!! He didn't even finish close to half. They even have pizza boxes for you to take the leftovers home with you. We may make this a delicious tradition every year! read more

I was craving a classic American brekkie, so we decided to stop by and it did not disappoint. I absolutely loved the chicken fried steak and the Texas Benedict. I asked for the potatoes extra crispy, and they came out perfectly so good. My boyfriend really enjoyed his Texas Benedict as well. The combination of cornbread with carnitas was especially delicious. Everything felt hearty and satisfying exactly what you want from a great breakfast spot. We went on a Saturday morning, and it wasn't too crowded. We were seated right away, placed our order quickly, and our food arrived within about ten minutes. The service was fast and efficient. There are a lot of tables in the restaurant. Overall, such a fulfilling breakfast experience. Definitely recommend! read more

Came here before our spring training game. Staff also had baseball gear on and it was so welcoming and fun! Service was top notch servers were excellent at having small talk and being efficient and everything was perfect. Our server recommended getting the cinnamon roll as an appetizer which I appreciate because it did hold us over until our food got to us. The best dish award goes to the pulled pork sandwich although next time I will skip the fries and order hashbrowns as the side. I will be back 10/10 read more

Came here this past weekend for breakfast and it didn't disappoint. The breakfast meatloaf was so unique and so flavorful. The service was efficient and our server was really friendly. It wasn't super busy as we went really early so it made for an enjoyable environment with an ability to take the time and eat. My husband loved that Texas benedict. The cornbread was so lite and soft and the carnitas had so much depth of flavor and were incredibly tender. read more

Swung in after running the Pat Tillman race - it was a very busy morning but they were fantastic and getting people in and out quickly - food was delicious and it was nice they served alcohol - we definitely wanted to celebrate with Mimosa's & Bloody's - will definitely visit again on our next trip! read more

Four of us stopped by yesterday for an early breakfast. The main draw was their infamous giant pancake we'd seen online -- but funny enough, none of us actually ordered it. At $24.99 for one pancake? Yeah... we passed. We started with the cinnamon roll as an "appetizer." Flavor-wise, it was solid, and they definitely didn't skimp on the frosting, very sweet and generous. I went with the breakfast sandwich (with sausage) and a side of breakfast potatoes. The sandwich was okay... nothing bad, but nothing amazing either. I ended up adding salt and pepper just to give it a little kick. The potatoes, though... oof. I hate to say it, but they tasted like they were cooked in motor oil. Maybe it was a new pan or some old oil, but either way, they just weren't good. Even after salt, pepper, and hot sauce, I couldn't finish them; and that's saying something because I love breakfast potatoes. Total bummer. On the bright side, the service was excellent. Everyone was super friendly, and the place itself had a cozy, homestyle vibe, like somewhere you'd stumble on up north. All in all, great people and atmosphere, but the food just missed the mark for us. Sadly, I don't think we'll be back. read more

Henhouse cafe started as a small operation in 2010 and has grown to four locations here in AZ. They are located in Mesa, two in Gilbert, and the fourth just opened in Tempe. They have won "Best of Gilbert" awards for many years. We ate at the 3rd installment right across the road from Sloan Park in Mesa. My HH breakfast sandwich was delicious. It's a large biscuit with fried chicken, cheddar cheese, bacon, fried egg, and gravy. The kids could only eat less than half of the huge chocolate chip pancakes. These were big, but the "mom's famous pancake" we saw come out to other tables was huge! The Texas benedict was a fun twist on a favorite; carnitas on cornbread with green chile hollandaise. Everything was tasty and the farmhouse decor is cute. We all walked out full and with leftovers. They offer 10% off daily for service members and 15% on Mondays. Check out this great breakfast option in the East Valley. read more

Love this place.. Plenty of parking, seating & good food selections. Sat at the bar since it's noticed they had a large private group & short staffed, this would allow me quicker service & no extra walking for the staff. I was served by Trevor, he is a good man, attentive, friendly & quick to help. I am very impressed by Trevors work ethic, therfore I want people to know the younger generation can be great. Thank you Trevor. Ordered the chicken & waffles; coffee is hot & good, the waffles were perfect & the chicken was a little chewy, but it's fried so what can I expect. Love this place, get here, see my friend Trevor & try anything on the menu, it's delicious . read more

Came here for breakfast with the family on a weekend. It was pretty busy but we still got sat pretty quickly. I like how spaced out the tables are, despite it being pretty busy I didn't feel crammed or too close and personal with the neighboring tables. Everyone enjoyed their meals, my chicken was a bit rubbery I won't lie so I definitely would opt for a different entree next time. The waffle was yummy. read more

I was very pleased by the quality and service at Henhouse. High quality sausage along with the delicious potatoes to go along with my eggs. What a difference a "mom & pop" place is compared to a chain. I always seek out a local restaurant than a chain. If you're near a Henhouse, GO! read more

Henhouse Cafe is a gem of a restaurant hidden in Mesa Riverview. Bright, light, and airy, it is a pleasant place to dine with kind and polite wait staff, too. Don't sleep on Mom's famous pancakes (but you'll be sure to sleep afterward). At three pounds each times two, they are enough to feed a crowd, and delicious, too! We'll be keeping this place in mind next time we have big eaters (or need to impress someone). read more

Super friendly and solid breakfast place. Our breakfast (breakfast burrito and breakfast meatloaf) was filling and fresh. The prices were appropriate for the quantity and quality of food. We will return when in the area as we prefer to support local businesses with great service and food. We sat outside with our pup which was a little loud but nothing unexpected. Inside was super cute and honey. read more

Absolutely the best for breakfast in the area. The pineapple juice mimosa was perfectly balanced and the green chile skillet with carnitas was delicious-just the right amount of heat. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The ambience is lively bit not too loud. And the service was friendly and fast. It's a quick walk across the park from the Sheraton and a great place to meet for breakfast! read more

Henhouse Cafe - Green chile skillet with eggs over easy and no cheese - American Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

The food was tasty. Especially the corn bread. The waitress was rather unpleasant and didn't want to ask the kitchen if we could make any changes to the menu. We would have paid an up charge if she had asked, but she acted like everything was a bother and rarely came to check on us for coffee top up or napkin which we needed for most of the time. It was not busy either. The coffee is really strong. read more

Dear future foodies, Certified former fat kid here with the taste buds of a 5-year-old, so take this review with that in mind I like my breakfast sweet enough to make my dentist nervous. First, the good stuff: the service was fantastic. Everyone was friendly, the food came out super fast, and the staff made for a really enjoyable visit. I came here on a mission to try the world's biggest pancakes. Mission accomplished--they were absolutely gigantic. I honestly don't think I've ever seen pancakes that big. I was expecting them to be fluffy, buttery, and sweet, but they were a little denser than I prefer. They definitely weren't bad, just not a step above what I'd expect from an average IHOP or Denny's pancake. I also ordered the cinnamon roll. It leaned more toward the bread side than the gooey dessert side, which just isn't my preference. I was hoping for a rich, sweet cream cheese icing, but the frosting had a bit of citrus zest that wasn't really my thing. Overall, if you're after huge portions, this place definitely delivers. I just think my expectations were a little too high because of all the hype. The food wasn't inedible by any means--it just didn't quite match what I was hoping for. I'd still come back but just wish i could step into that kitchen and put some real love into their food read more

Beware of the portions! Wowza, I was visiting a friend from high school and she recommended this place. I was craving an eggs benedict and they had so much to offer. Their menu is vast and shocking with the portions for some dishes. The waitress wasn't very friendly, kind of cold. Maybe she was having a bad morning? Regardless, the tables are small for their portion sizes but we made due with 4 people. Its definitely a great place to eat a little of everything if you're craving a homecooked breakfast meal. read more

So we came for brunch on mother's day. We were glad it wasn't packed. My roommate wanted to try this place. I just wanted pancakes and they only have two different plates of pancakes weird for a breakfast place but ok. I got the big pancake it was really good. Except they put powder sugar on it( not a fan of it, and it didn't say it on the menu). And she got the big plate of everything that's breakfast with French toast. The atmosphere was good. But I wasn't too happy with the service the girl never came back to refill our drinks after we got our food. We might try the place again... maybe not on a holiday. read more

We really lucked out because we went the day after Christmas and there was no wait for a table. When we left an hour later, all tables were full and there were a dozen people waiting. The decor is farmhouse and very warm and friendly. Our server was attentive. There was a seasonal and regular menu, everything on the menu was a full meal, I was just looking for a side while my hungry dining partners had a big meal but there were none listed, so I got swayed by a lemon blueberry mariscone pancake. It was huge, bigger than the dinner plate it was served on. I would've preferred a much smaller pancake with more blueberries and mascarpone. I don't know anyone who would've eaten that whole thing! My family loved the Mexican Benedict, the chipotle hollindase sauce was creamy and spicy. The only problem we ran into is the Benedict were served about 15 minutes before the pancake. Overall enjoyable. Get there early if you can! read more

Love this place, definitely one of my favorite breakfast spots. The food is always amazing, I don't think I've ever had something off their menu that I didn't enjoy. Only thing that stops me from giving it 5 stars is that the service can be very hit or miss. There's times when the service is so spot on and others where I've been ignored or the food was exceptionally slow. I do keep coming back for the food. If you're a breakfast fan this place is definitely for you! read more

First time here. The server was great! Food was came out quickly and was plentiful. It could have been a bit warmer for my liking. The restaurant vibe is supposed to be "barn like."

Great food, service atmosphere. We came here twice this week while on vacation. We highly recommend Henhouse.

We really liked the food but will never return due to a very negative interaction with the "owners" daughter. She was very rude, told my wife "you are not my mother" and basically said we don't have to eat there. This is unfortunate, as the rest of the staff was kind. read more

The Henhouse was packed but the 10-15 minute wait was worth our time. As soon as we were seated Briana was there to take our drink orders and answer questions about items on the menu. The BLT was standard fare. The Breakfast Burrito was so large our guest cut it in two for a takeout. She was quite pleased with the taste. The Lemon Blueberry Mascarpone Pancake was very HUGE (enough for 3-4 people) and there was nothing lost in the flavor. My wife's complaint was she was given a very small container of syrup for such a big pancake. There was plenty of gravy on the Biscuits and Gravy. The bacon was cooked properly but the over easy eggs were slightly undercooked. The "home fries" were an excellent side for this meal. The decor was appropriate for the Henhouse theme. The waitstaff all wore T-shirts that gave us a good laugh! "The rooster may crow...but the hen delivers" This was a fun experience and one we'll repeat the next time we're in Mesa! read more
