The Blue Hen Cafe - Fried green tomato tacos - Southern Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

What a fun little spot for breakfast! Right off US1 at King Street, this was a convenient spot to stop while visiting local businesses. The interior is attractive/antique with a clear hen-based theme in the decor. We were quickly approached by our server and she brought coffee and juice. I had the corned beef hash which was a large portion with two eggs, and it was very flavorful. Pricing all-in including beverages, tip and tax was just under $30 per person which was a very good value. The exterior of the restaurant is nothing to speak of, other than a spacious and free parking lot. Inside, there was a sufficient space between tables that allowed for good conversation without being overwhelmed by either kitchen noise or the conversation of other patrons. This is definitely a place where I would return. It does seem that there can be a wait at times - we showed up just a few minutes after opening, and got seated right away. read more

A local recommended this spot on our walk through town. Went for lunch and there was a short wait. Go inside to get in line then there are some nice benches outside to enjoy the weather while you wait. There were options at a variety of price points. There were three or so vegetarian options (outside of sweet breakfast). The wrap was pretty good. My husband got the salad and it was amazing. Next time I'm getting a salad. read more

I wish I had gotten a picture of my friend's plate!! It was amazing! They got us in quick and fast. Our waitress was precious and wrote us a list of places to try out in town since we are from out of town. The place would be nice for a group meeting for breakfast/ lunch. read more

The Blue Hen Cafe - Outside area! - Southern Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

My husband recently read about this place in an article of great hidden breakfast restaurants so we decided to give it a try this morning for breakfast. It ended up being a great decision. The ambiance inside the restaurant was fun and fabulous with all of the various hen decor. Service was excellent from the moment we stepped in the door. We were quickly seated and received menus to peruse. They have about a dozen different menu options for breakfast. I opted for the vegetable cheese omelet and I have to say it was probably the most flavorful veggie omelet I have ever had. This can probably be attributed to the black beans and salsa included in the omelet. It also came with either sweet potato or regular hash browns as well as a biscuit or toast. Their peach butter was also included with most entrees. My husband had the corn beef hash and loved his meal as well. Service was quick and friendly throughout our meal. We would definitely return. read more

One of the best breakfast restaurants we have had the pleasure of dining in. Hands down an overall great experience and this will become a staple when we visit or drive anywhere near here and they are open. We stayed in Lincolnville at an Air B&B, so the walk was 1 block to get there- which was lovely. We got there at 8:45am on a Friday after Christmas and the wait was 30 minutes. It immediately went to 45 minutes after I put my name in and within 10 minutes was at an hour wait. And I will tell you- only 1 couple walked away upset at the wait time. Everyone else braved the 42 degree weather and stood outside waiting patiently. We were all there to experience the greatness of the Blue Hen breakfast. And it was worth the wait! Quick and friendly service. We got coffee and tea. The entrees were all hot and superb. We all agreed to come back for breakfast again before we left town we loved it so much. I also wanted to buy the hot sauce they offered in the table (Cowgills). We excitedly planned our next visit to the Blue Hen and unbeknownst to us, they would be closed on NYE. I was so disappointed when I got there at 8am Sunday morning to an empty storefront and a sign on the door. Oh well. We will be back. I know we will. This place is worth the drive and the wait. Park in the small lot on Kings Ferry (only a few parking spots) or there is on street parking in the neighborhood. Just don't park along the yellow curb or in front of driveways or posted signs. Lincolnville is a fabulous area to stay also if you are visiting St. Augustine. Walkable to historic district and many fabulous restaurants (Fish Camp, Ice Plant). read more

Funky breakfast joint! Yummy food good service! We love coming here every time we come to st Augustine!

Every time we are in st. Augustine We have to dine here ! This place is a must for breakfast. Here is what we ordered and will continue to order every time we come here. Their chicken biscuit is to die, for we usually will do it with eggs or potatoes. What I love to do is take the top off one of the biscuits and spread the peach butter. They provide you with then the other half. I put the hot sauce on top and eat the chicken and biscuit. I tried their guava mimosa that was delicious as well. The place is clean, and the hostess and server are very accommodating and attentive. read more

We really wanted to split a sweet and a savory item for breakfast, but by the time our table was ready, it was too late for French toast or pancakes. The savory breakfast menu is available all day. The chicken biscuit was great. And I loved the sweet potato home fries that came with the Zada Jane. Def get the iced coffee if that's your thing. They use coffee ice cubes! Bummed that they don't have call ahead or a virtual queue. We used the wait time to go to a cool thrift store across the street. read more

Very relaxed and casual atmosphere seat yourself. The food was pretty good brunch and the homemade biscuits are just as flaky and delicious as you would expect it to be. The crab quiche had good quality crab in it and my fiancé really enjoyed the corn beef hash. The service wasn't above and beyond but it wasn't bad. I think it's because the ambiance is VERY casual no frills. All in all will try again. read more

Great spot food, ambience, friendly service this place has it all. Do yourself a favor and get the chicken biscuits with a side of gravy...you're welcome. read more

Went here on a breakfast recommendation from a local. I'm not sure what the draw is. The food was fine. I got southern omlete and my wife corn beef hash with eggs. My home fries were way too overcooked. The peach butter wasn't anything special in my opinion. I was surprised at the lack of attentiveness from our server as well. It's not necessarily bad, just very average. read more

Love the Blue Hen. We stop for breakfast there any time we are in St Augustine. Only problem is deciding what to order. So many yummy choices. The Kings French toast might be my favorite! read more

Great food, really, really well done. We were lucky enough to have a new server who had just started and was really shiny and sweet. The rest of the servers looked kinda hard or uninviting to speak with. It would be a lot friendlier with a bunch more new servers like the one we had. Again, food - terrific :)) read more

A small eatery in old Saint Augustine. Loved their southwestern omelette. The eggs were cooked to perfection, crunchy potato hash browns and their signature peach butter along with the perfect biscuit. The portion was on the large side. Perfect happy meal in the tummy. The service was warm, parking is scarce so give yourself enough time. The food is fresh and prices are very reasonable. Would love to give 5 stars if wait times were not long and easy parking was available. The place has limited seating capacity. read more

Worth the wait!! We visit St. Augustine often, even before moving to Jacksonville, and always wanted to dine here. Our usual excuse was the wait or once they moved from Lincolnville, we didn't want to drive and walked somewhere else instead. Never again! Our 40 minute wait was reduced due to a few spots opening at the counter. The space is adorable with looks of vintage decor. Everyone on the staff was kind, welcoming, and friendly. We never had to ask for anything, our waters and coffees continuously being refilled. Love that they don't pack people in, the tables are nicely spaced which I sure adds to the staff's ability to attend to those who are seated. The food was fantastic. Both the regular potatoes and sweet potatoes were cooked perfectly, the cubes seemed to be fried raw which made for crispy outsides and soft, yummy insides. The biscuits were soft and delicious, but the apricot butter elevated them to the next level. The pumpkin pancake was full of pumpkin flavor and barely needed syrup to enjoy. Don't miss this wonderful place, it is definitely worth the wait! read more

Y'all. The chicken biscuits are absolutely delicious. The toasted, flaky, wonderful biscuit. The tender and crispy chicken, so tasty. The peach butter. You've got to try them! Honorable mention for the home fries, they were crispy and might have been the best home fries I've ever had. The coffee was good, the service was friendly and on point, the decor is super cute, and my only regret is that our time here is limited and I couldn't come back for seconds. Forgot to take photos because we dug in the moment the food came. It's that good! read more

The fun stuff first... Old retro finishings. Small Diner style. However, Very little parking. Now the nitty gritty...Food not worth the reviews we read. Over priced Chicken biscuits and potatoes all over cooked and dry. Not much flavor. Crab quiche was good... enough. The hot tea wasn't hot. Not even hot shower hot. One waitress wanted everyone to know what her "chest" looked like. UNCOMFORTABLE for us for sure. I Really wanted to like this brunch place. I would tell others to look elsewhere. read more

Absolutely loved the vibe of this place! Felt very homey, and I really loved all the antique decor. The staff are all incredibly pleasant, and our food came out pretty quick despite it being a full house. The food was delicious, even better than I had hoped it would be. I got pork & grits and my partner got chicken biscuits, and both were so good we talked about it all the way back to our Airbnb. We recently moved up north, and it's been quite the culture shock. So getting to visit home and have a good taste of southern hospitality and a "home cooked meal" vibe is really refreshing read more

Ambiance was nice enough. Service was very nice. Food. Well the biscuits are home made but nothing to rave about. The home fries and eggs were very good. They do not serve regular pancakes, or maybe just seasonal ones because today it was pumpkin pancakes and really that makes for very limited choices. Their French toast was only offered with peanut butter, bananas & honey. So...their menu is unique which makes it a disappointment. I like to try different things but when you are in the mood for the usual and it's not offered then it's a place I tried once and won't go back. Oh and the Bunn coffee machine has the beans on the side and boy was I excited to taste the brew...it's a weak cup of Joe & that's not on the Blue Hen, Bunn should step up their choice of beans to brew. read more

This was our first visit to the Blue Hen. There was about a 20 minute wait on Thursday midday. Most tables are tables for 4 so it is pretty spacious for 2 people. There are enough servers so they don't seem to get frazzled with the continual flow of people. Our service was great as well. My husband ordered the Fried green tomato burger which he said was very good. Burger was thick and cooked as ordered. The sweet potato fries were cubed and really had a great sweet potato taste. I ordered the corned beef hash breakfast. The grits were some of the best I have ever eaten. The biscuit with the peach butter was as delicious as I had been told it was. I asked for poached eggs but they don't offer that option so I had eggs over easy. They were very good. I didn't love the hash but I think it was more me than the hash. I have a particular corned beef hash that I like and if you look at the picture, this corned beef was cubed and cooked with peppers and onions. I ate some of it, it was fine but just not right for me. I didn't want to complain because it was my issue, not theirs. I always struggle to write a review if I ordered wrong. So I am giving 5 stars because the eggs, grits and biscuit deserved 5 stars. It was just the last minute that I ordered the hash. If you are a corned beef hash lover please don't go by me. Try it for yourself. read more

Decided to go here on a whim with the boyfriend and was not disappointed! Even though the restaurant was very busy we were seated promptly and the waitress was friendly and answered any questions we had about the menu. I got the King's French Toast and the boyfriend got the breakfast burrito with avocado added. The only thing that was a bit perturbing was that salsa was a $3 add on for the breakfast burrito. A little weird but what cab you do. I would highly recommend if you're visiting downtown St. Augustine and want filling breakfast, a cozy experience with friendly service give The Blue Hen Cafe a shot! read more

Our hotel recommended and we like the location which was a nice easy walk in the morning. Food was fabulous - I ordered the two eggs with gluten-free bread which was delicious. We cannot get over the butter, a peach family recipe that took our breath away with each bite. Service was outstanding, checked on us regularly and even gave us extra bread since she thought the serving was too small. The gluten-free bread was so good that we could have eaten an entire loaf. Loved the decor with the Rooster decor and large open space - very clean, bright and cheerful. The Blue Hen made our day. read more

The Blue Hen Cafe - Veggie omelette - Southern Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Started off with high expectations. Small lot filled to the brim and people waiting to be seated. 1hr estimated wait time. We decided to wait... and that was our downfall. We stood outside for an hour and half waiting to be called. We checked on our place in line twice. All to learn that the THIRD time we checked on our name.... we had been fully skipped. The names above and below us were crossed out.... but we were left blank? Patience is a virtue... but too much patience at the Blue Hen and they will skip over your name like kids playing hop scotch. The food was good. Above average; nothing to make either of us come back. They did offer to pay for the meal since the front of house did us dirty. We appreciated the thoughtfulness behind it. Thankful for the chefs and the waitress. read more

What a cute spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Tucked away close to Flagler College we started our day at The Blue Hen for breakfast. I got the chicken biscuits and added a side of bacon, it comes with two chicken biscuits which for me was way too much. I wish I could have had one biscuit and maybe some home fries? My dad had the breakfast burrito and Mom had the two egg breakfast. We all enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere. Service was good and I felt the prices were reasonable. We would definitely recommend The Blue Hen! read more

Great fresh and healthy breakfast options. The staff are friendly and attentive. Definitely a place I will go out of the way for to get a good breakfast. read more

Food was delicious. Waited about 45 minutes but it was worth it. Staff was friendly. Restaurant was quaint and clean

It's a long wait on a weekend, but they serve an excellent breakfast. Once seated, the service is very good, not rushed. Everything we ordered was delicious. Parking is a nightmare so be prepared for that and the long lines. But people flock (come on people work with me here) to the place because it is soooo good, that the parking and the long wits are the price of success. read more

Food is fantastic.... I recommend the Southern Omelette. Great service from the entire staff... especially our Server Felicity!
