    Hen Mother Cookhouse did not disappoint! The blueberry matcha had amazing flavor. Not too sweet. The chicken on the chicken and biscuits was perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. I ordered the pimento cheese and spicy sauce on the side, and the spicy sauce added the perfect kick. Honestly, there wasn't a single thing we tried that wasn't delicious. The restaurant itself is so cute and cozy with a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly, and the hostess was especially accommodating and fun. I'll definitely be back!

    I heard a lot of great things about this restaurant. I would prefer the Johns Creek location because it is the original location. Well, this place was still good. It definitely lacked flavor. We waited nearly 40 minutes for any food to come out. I will say the staff isn't rude about the hostess stand needs to be more organized. They were not rude or anything, but our table kept getting given away to other people it happened twice and I really wanted a seat inside because I'm allergic to pollen, but we got sat outside. I was too hungry to care at that point. And now I'm suffering from allergies this very next day. The breakfast sandwiches I don't think I would order these next time with the cheese because the sandwich itself was really good. I just felt like the cheese on the brisket sandwich and on this breakfast sandwich was overpowering. I didn't even realize I had pesto in the breakfast sandwich. I legitimately thought was some type of avocado sauce since avocado doesn't really have that much flavor. If you're thinking about getting pancakes, please only get one order because they're massive. They really put the cake and pancake, and it was more of a cornbread pancake. The pancake took I think an hour to come out on the menu. It said 20 minutes cook time basically whatever they quote you it's a lie. I can't blame them completely because the restaurant was pretty busy. We made a reservation and even checked in with the house stand, and somehow our table got given away twice. The best thing about this place would probably be the potatoes and the bacon. Everything else I think was overpowered by the cheese flavor as I stated before I think the John's Creek location was better. It is the original location and they have the OG chef. I think I would come here again maybe not for Sunday brunch and definitely sit inside. I also wouldn't come when it's super busy because the cutlery was not very clean. I did take my napkin and kind of washed it off with my water. My spoon legitimately had leftover maple syrup on the hand. Price point it is a little on the price of your side you're looking at maybe $15 for two pancakes and $18 for the brisket milk, $15 for the breakfast sandwich, the fruit cup was definitely worth it for five dollars you got a lot of fruit. Although the price was a little bit expensive, they do give you a lot of food.

    Pricey but well worth it. Food was excellent and so was the service. If there is a world disaster while eating, you will have plenty of food on table to survive. Oh--and Noah was a great server--dude needs to build an arch.

    I really wanted to try this place because it was relatively new and I had heard good things about it. I went there with my daughter and while it was a good overall experience, it wasn't quite great. The interior looked charming and inviting, but our table was quite small and barely had room for the plates and glasses. Our initial interaction with the host and server was positive. They were quick to take our beverage and food order, but they were inconsistent in checking on us after the food arrived. The food truly looked amazing in all the photos we saw, but it didn't quite taste as good as I had hoped. We tried the oat hotcakes which tasted flavorful, but very dense and dry. We later asked the server if they were intended to be served with syrup. She then apologized and said they must've forgotten our syrup, which would explain why they tasted so incredibly dry. I'm basically glad I finally had the opportunity to try the restaurant, and I did enjoy the breakfast egg sandwich, but the rest of the items were not memorable enough for me to consider returning anytime soon. Cheers

    Watery Americana

    We had excellent service and the breakfast tacos were great. The music was too loud for a Sunday morning--the restaurant was packed and on a 30 min wait. My husband ordered an Americana drink and it was watery. He asked to return it and they said they couldn't remove it from the bill. I've never experienced that in a restaurant--the customer is always right and they should have remade it or comped the item.

    This brunch spot is INCREDIBLE! I enjoyed everything I ate here and cannot recommend it enough if you're in the mood for high quality breakfast food in a cute location. I visited on a Thursday around 11am and found it about half full, as you would expect during the week, however my friends have been here on weekends and say it gets very busy, especially since they don't take reservations. The drink cart outside is adorable and allows people to sip away as they wait for a table. Genius! We sat outside on the patio surrounded by trees, far enough away from the street to feel secluded. Our server was very kind and had extensive knowledge of the menu. Of all the items we tried, the Oat Hot Cakes stole the show. I loved the crispy outside contrasted with the fluffy inside, and various seeds and grains that make it a hearty and healthier option. The poached blueberries and maple syrup were great, but I also recommend spreading their jam in between the layers for an added kick of flavor. This dish is massive, so be prepared to split with someone and take home the leftover. They reheat really well! Another high praise item was the house brined and crispy fried chicken thigh. I loved the thick seasoned batter and crispy texture. Reminded me of an elevated Kentucky fried chicken. The breakfast tacos were also pretty good, but they would taste better with cilantro. I also tried their chai and was unfortunately disappointed because it lacked the deep spice flavor you expect out of this Indian tea. Instead it tasted like lightly seasoned warm milk or pumpkin spice latte. Regardless, I still recommend visiting, especially with a group of 4 to enjoy the atmosphere and well crafted dishes.

    I could only finish half of one LOL and the chicken sausage was very flavorful

    The wait staff are friendly, swift, and accommodating. I tried the infamous pancakes and they were great! The ambiance is quite busy, and not much room inside, but worth the trip.

    Came for brunch on a weekend, a wait is definitely anticipated here. Though we were told 25 minutes, it was definitely longer than that, so be prepared. They also definitely need another person at the front desk. We got the text that our table was ready but there was no one at the front, and after waiting for a bit, we got another text saying our table was now gone. I had to look for the original person who helped put my name down. We got the special hash with pork belly and the biscuit. The pork belly hash came with pesto sauce that I enjoyed, however, I wasn't told eggs would be $4 extra when getting my ordered taken. The regular hash comes with eggs. I thought the hash was okay, the vegetables were realllly sweet and the pork belly was way too salty, it did not blend well together. The biscuit was better, it was buttery and soft! Though I will say the chicken was a lot smaller compared to other pictures. I got the lavender matcha , it did not have a strong matcha flavor but the lavender syrup was good. Service was okay, definitely a busy place so we did not expect much. Overall, the brunch was okay, not sure if it was worth the price or wait.

    Great location- went for 8 am Sunday breakfast, no issues with parking in open street spots. Seated quickly and waitress was there in a flash for drink orders. The OG Cookhouse omelette was very good and large portion. Coffee was tell refilled along with water. Great spot very clean and modern.

    Breakfast tacos
    Laurel M.

    Enjoyed a wonderful birthday brunch at this great little place! The service was top notch, our server made recommendations and explained the dishes. We had avocado toast and the breakfast tacos and a wonderful lavender latte (the syrup is house made!) we will definitely be back on a Saturday for epic cinnamon rolls.

    Market Hash
    Suzanne S.

    The service was beyond expectations! We were seated immediately on a busy Saturday morning on the porch with heaters. Our server was delightful and very attentive. The food is unbelievably tasty and quite health conscious but still delicious. We got the oat pancakes and they were huge but so yummy. We also ordered the market hash with eggs and when they say it's served with roasted veggies they mean it! We had to take boxes it was so much food. I ordered The Silver Lining drink which was a gin and lavender cocktail and it was so good. My husband ordered the strawberry matcha latte and he enjoyed every post drop. The music was perfect as it wasn't too loud or too overpowering. Taffers across the street could take a lesson in how to play good music. It was a wonderful experience and we all highly highly recommend! Well done!!!

    This will be my first and last time visiting this restaurant. I've never left a bad review on a restaurant even if there was room for improvement. I ordered the French toast with a side of the chicken thigh. The chicken was salty and didn't have a good taste. I ate a small bite and asked to replace it with a different meat. I was advised I couldn't replace it and was charged for a meat I couldn't eat. I will not be returning to this restaurant. As I was leaving out I had to use the restroom and over heard one of the female servers saying the audacity of her using the restroom after I paid for something I didn't eat!

    Chicken and Waffles
    John H.

    Hen Mother Cookhouse is always on my top brunch spots list in Atlanta. We have been to the John's Creek location many times but this it the first time at this location. We came in at a little before 1pm on a Sunday and were really surprised that we found a close parking spot and a 5 minute wait when we checked in. We quickly realized how awesome the staff is here. This place is run exceptionally well! The host at the front was so nice and he made us feel right at home. Our server Aimee was awesome too! Greeted us quickly and took our drink orders and brought them right out. In fact everything came out out quickly! The restaurant was a historic home right in downtown Alpharetta. Such a great set up and homey, although the seating is a little tight. They do offer both indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered off the regular menu but they had some really great looking specials. I had the chicken and waffles, soft and fluffy waffles with warm maple syrup and perfectly cooked and seasoned fried chicken thighs on top. Sweet and savory, and with a side of bacon, this hit the spot! My wife had the brioche French toast with a blueberry and whipped custard topping. Her only criticism was that the French toast had a metallic taste to it. I think the cast iron it was served in gave it an off taste. At first I thought maybe there was lemon in the dish but it was metallic whatever it was. Might not get that again. I had a nice cup of Earl Grey in a little tea pot. Such a great spot of tea! So many reasons to come here. The service is EXCELLENT, and this place runs like a top. Loved it!
