My favorite non chain breakfast place. Food is huge! Servers are great! Try the pancakes the size of man hole covers

Service was ok food was yuck. Ordered Cali Benedict came with some weird cheese sause not hollandaise. Told waitress, manager said quote "I don't like Hollandaise so I don't know". Other meal was cold, eggs & waffle. Manager took $5 bucks off bill...poor customer service. Won't go back. read more

Very disappointed in the service I received on Labor day. I called in an order, was on hold for 15 minutes before getting my order taken. I was told to wait, 25 minutes for my order to be ready. I waited the 25 minutes before heading down there because I figured they were busy. I walked in, only person wearing a mask besides one other staff member. A man walked in before me (no mask) received his food within minutes of being there. I then stood by the take out counter for 5-7 minutes while numerous staff members walked past me, no one acknowledging me unless it was to say "excuse me". Finally a young lady asked if I had been helped. She looked up my order, took my payment and said it was still being worked on but would be done shortly. I waited for about 5 more minutes. Another customer, no mask, came in to get a to-go order, asked if I had been helped, I said yes but it's taken awhile. She was acknowledged by the manager within 2 minutes and had her food, a larger order than mine, within 5 minutes of walking in the door. I then had to wait another 10 minutes before the manager, who had walked past me 5-10 times, to ask if I had been helped. I had 3 simple items, breakfast sandwich, burrito and donuts. It took 30+ minutes while waiting to be acknowledged and my order to be ready to get my food. Let me be clear, this is not about having to wait. It's a busy restaurant, it was a holiday, I expected to wait. I did not expect however to be completely ignored and dismissed while being there, for the only reason I could assume was I had a mask on. Very disappointed in the service and the experience. The food is delicious but we will not be back due to the horrible service and what I can only assume is discrimination for wearing a mask..... read more

My experiences have always been good and I really do love this place; however, my wife and I went there for lunch on a weekday a few weeks back and our meal wasn't consistent with the quality that we have become accustomed to at Henhouse. This is a great place and the service is always good. I will continue to go here as there chicken fried chicken is awesome. read more

Always packed and has a family owned feel. The staff is always sweet and the food is home cooking yummy. Great place after church!

Very good food, the pancakes are insanely huge and delicious! Decent price, we got sat quickly, but there were a lot of people waiting on our way out. Service was friendly and efficient. We will be back. read more

This place has great food but I've been here before and the service was terrible. I mean so bad I almost walked in to get my own food and coffee. We went back to get the ridiculously awesome corned beef hash and DERIK was our server on a Sunday morning. DERIK was an actual waiter. He brought hot coffee repeatedly and without being promoted! He was delightful! He was proactive. He made our meal even better. Kudos. I actually look forward to returning. read more

Decided to try this restaurant after church on Easter Sunday, knowing full well that there would be a wait and it would be busy. It WAS busy, but surprisingly, we were seated in 20 minutes. The food took a while to be served, but as I said , it was pretty busy, so we were content to chat over coffee and wait. The food was really, really good, and our server was awesome as well! We'll be back! read more

We ate there for the first time today (4/7/2018) and it was super packed! So we figured that was a good sign. We had to wait for a table (about 20 min) which went by pretty quickly. Our server was very friendly, although I didn't catch his name (he probably told me, I just forgot immediately as that always happens). He suggested several things off the menu which I really appreciated (I hate it when servers say "everything is good!") my hubs ordered the chicken and waffles and said that they were phenomenal. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and sausage, eggs and potatoes. It was super good, although I'm a huge potato fan, and I didn't enjoy them as much. We interacted with several of the wait staff and they were all very friendly. I did have one major complaint though, they didn't have a changing table in the bathroom. There's plenty of space for one! Overall this place has great food! read more

I came here around 7 am ish with the bf. I was super hungry and yelped for good breakfast around chandler/Gilbert area. I found henhouse cafe! I read the reviews and it says it's the best breakfast place in this area. Well they were absolutely right! Bf had chicken and waffles and I had their omelet with wheat sour dough. It was delicious. Everything was so fresh and tasty! Loved it with some fresh orange juice. Friendly waitresses too will definitely come back! read more

Midwest family, used to great breakfast. I met the owner a few weeks and he told me about his establishment. Amazing food, our new favorite breakfast spot by far. Coffee is excellent! We will be back frequently! read more

Potatoes greasy and not cooked, eggs had a strange flavor, biscuit dry. Gravy was just ok. One of the worst breakfast I have ever had. And it wasn't that busy so really no excuse. read more

Great place for breakfast. Ask for your potato's crispy. If you like Biscuits and gravy, they do it well. Good coffee.

Tried this place for the first time. Really busy for a Friday so that was a good sign. Not to long of a wait and coffee was really good. But because they were busy little long to get more coffee. The food was not that good. The orders perfect but the taste was not good. Omelet had a cheese sauce that was not good and the potatoes had no taste and needed seasoning. I could not eat with the cheese sauce. My mother said her vegi omelet was ok but she agreed under seasoned. I will try this place again but next time pick something with no cheese sauce. read more

So I came to this place up the street from my house and immediately noticed that you can seat yourself. I'm not sure if this was because it was later in the day but it was nice to not have to wait. My sever came up and immediately took our order. Small irks here, I have a six year old and he can be clumsy, as most six year old are. So I was surprised that she gave him a giant cup with no lid. Also missing a kids mat with kid items. I can see across my table and see a child about ten with one but not my little guy. That's fine, ordered him a blueberry pancake. I ordered the southwest biscuits and gravy (they had me at chorizo gravy). First off his pancake was buttery and slightly nutty and giant. Fresh blueberries sprinkled within the pancake add a nice burst of flavor. I have a good feeling the lemon blueberry pancake would be an even better choice. The warm maple syrup is a nice touch as well. My southwest biscuits and gravy were not bad. The biscuits while tender were pretty flat. Not enough baking powder I'd imagine. The eggs were perfect and the potatoes were delicious. Flat coins that were crispy while being fluffy in the center. The chorizo gravy had good flavor but had very little actual meat in it. The homemade sausage was a good thought but didn't have as much punch of spices as your store bought variety. The menu has me intrigued enough to come back. Also very good hot sauce collection. read more

Found this by mistake. Had to wait for a ride after my dr apt and it looks like there is nothing but open fields near my dr. So I figured I would look to find the closest whatever and hang out there. Hoping for a cup of coffee, I saw the hen house right across the street. And I'm so glad I did. It's a very homey feel to it and just fabulous! Food! The portions are huge for the prices. It always looks busy and everyone smiling. I have to drive about 40 min from my house to get here, but quality like this is hard to find so I will drive... Had a blueberry pancake today and are you kidding me! Bigger then my head lol. Amazing! read more

2nd terrible experience. Waited 30 minutes for one burrito they said would take 15. At the 20 minute mark heard a waitress ask what I was waiting for and they told the cooks who then grabbed a tortilla (you can see in the kitchen). Also watched tons of uneaten dine-in food get trashed at the cleaning station. Won't be back. read more

Crunchy French Toast was divine! Clean and bright and modern inside.

Super disappointed with our now former favorite breakfast place #henhousecafe in Gilbert. I'm 7 months pregnant and brought my water bottle (granted it's a huge one) in with me as to not leave it in a hot car (temp over 100 degrees today!) while we ate, and we were told to empty out the water into a cup because of their no outside food/drink policy. It's fucking WATER! What the hell is water competing with on their menu?! It's WATER!!! If it was juice or soda or anything else other than water, I could potentially see a conflict, but water?! Really?! I kid you not, we seriously loved this place so much, we'd order breakfast/lunch most weekends to eat at home. I hope it was worth it Henhouse Cafe. You're unflinching unwillingness to accommodate and pregnant woman with water caused a potentially lifelong patron to walk away. read more

One of my favorite breakfast places. Love the smothered potatoes w a biscuit and gravy. (They don't have it all the time) Oh sooo yummy! The pancakes are ridiculous, in a great way. Hope your hungry. read more

Just love this place every time we visit Arizona. Cannot go wrong on any dish but really love the Grandpa skillet

First visit was a journey. Drove an hour because of reputation . Steak Benedict was overdone but Payson and Shanda fixed immediately. All the food was great and staff amazing. read more

I visited Henhouse Cafe this morning with my brother around 7:30 AM for some breakfast. We didn't have to wait and were seated promptly. The place was decently filled and didn't get too busy until 9 AM. Overall, the experience was great. Friendly servers, delicious food, and a great atmosphere. I think one of the best parts of this experience was that the food tasted like something my mom would make. It actually tasted homemade in comparison to IHOP for example (which I guess is expected when comparing a mom and pop to a franchise). Everyone in the restaurant seemed to be enjoying themselves. I ordered the Mexican Benedict and it was incredible. The poached eggs went well with the spices and filling of the dish. I thought that it was unique that the cheese they used was a nacho cheese rather than cheddar cheese. I was given two eggs piled on all the meat and filling and was full with just one "stack." My brother ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken. He said it all tasted good except that the gravy was a little overwhelming so if you are not a fan of too much gravy, I would order it on the side. Regardless, the dish was still delicious. Lastly, we shared their special dessert item (I forgot the name) but it was delicious. It was fried and the inside was moist with chocolate oozing out. Overall a great experience, definitely give them a try! read more

I have eaten breakfast here before and it was good. However, my experience yesterday morning April 21 was very poor. I ordered a 2 (scrambled) egg breakfast with sausage, potatoes and toast. The toast was very good, the potatoes were cold and lacked flavor, the sausage patties were something you'd expect from McDonalds, only worse, received only 1 egg which was rubbery, cold and didn't taste like an egg. My wife, who had eggs benedict, also didn't care for her meal. Maybe it was just a bad day. read more

Friendly and sweet staff. Very clean restaurant. Food was average. I would definitely back there due to the great staff.

Love this place, there is always a wait, but it's worth it. Every time someone comes to visit us we end up here and have never been disappointed by food or the service. They also have the biggest pancake you have ever seen. read more

So good! One of the yummiest omelets I've ever had. (The Santa Fe) Busy, but the service was great! read more

Henhouse Cafe - Santa Fe Omelet - Cafes Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Felt like they didn't want my business. Yes I have children but if you can't accommodate a simple high chair, then I will take my business to another small business. What a joke. Walked out and went down the street to give my $90 breakfast dollars. Next week's $240 bill will be elsewhere and every month for now on. Have a large business and my colleagues and I will not be coming by anymore. Have the owner reach out to me. I doubt it will ever happen. A HIGH CHAIR? FAMILY. KIDS. AVOID!!! read more

A favorite with friends and family!! I've even had lunch here on my own! The staff is superb! The pancakes is a must

Excellent food! My mom ordered the pancakes and gave us a bit to try, all I have to say is...delicious! She ended up splitting it between the 4 of us because she couldn't finish it herself anymore lol the rest of us got omelettes and my dad the skillet which we totally recommend (We're vegetarians so we recommend the veggie omelette/skillet). Regardless, I'm sore everything else is great on this menu! Great flavor+friendly atmosphere from the employees=happy customers! read more

OMG, when they warn you that the portions are huge, that is an understatement. This is somewhere you go to share a meal with someone and possibly not even finish that. The lemon blueberry pancake was amazing as well as the HH breakfast sandwich. Definitely will come back, just not get enough food for breakfast for 3 days lol read more

The food was okay, something I could have made at home. I got the "paul bunyon" and the best part was the bacon & sausage. The french toast wasn't the best that i've had, I didn't even finish it. My boyfriend got the southwest biscuits & gravy which was different and had an odd taste to it. He loves the bacon and normally loves potatoes but these ones he wasn't a fan of. The waiter was very nice though and the hot chocolate was good too which saved the stars here. I heard good things but i'm sad to say I probably won't return. read more

Delicious food! Got breakfast taco, had a pretty good 30 minutes wait before we had a chance to sit down. Fast service though which is awesome and delicious food. read more

This place was really good and the wait wasn't as bad compared to other breakfast places. I got the Sante Fe omlette, which was cooked well but could have used a bit more of a kick. The potatoes were also a little oil, but overall everything was really tasty! read more

This place is awesome. Always amazing food, and great service. I always get the chicken fried chicken, and take half home. Huge portions. highly recommend for either breakfast, lunch or brunch! Crazy busy on weekends, I like to go in on a weekday instead. No wait! :) read more

Worst experince ive ever had at a restaurant. I arrived for nice sunday breakfast...in all honesty, i knew it was going to be a bit of a wait cause of the weekend...what i didnt expect was to get passed over for a table on six different occasions. When we were originally going to be seated the table was not suitable for our party of three, the hostess apologized and told us we would have the next available table. Thinking nothing of it, we stepped back outside and began to notice as group after group who arrived well after us. When we asked the hostess why we were being skipped she told us "oh no, they were here first" blatantly lying to us ( we saw them arrive well after we did). On top of that we experienced horrible service once we were actually seated. 0 out of 5. Worst.place.ever. otis will never go back read more

The service was fast and friendly. Was nice to dine in a pre-pandemic environment and feel so welcomed. Was nice to see real smiling faces and the food was amazing too. The meals came out fast and hot and had that home cooked taste and care. Definitely will be frequenting this place for more often (: read more

Terrible, umempathetic service. Waited for a table for over an hour and while we were on the phone with our grandparents to decide an inside or outside table (and was promised by the waiter a table would be held during that minute and thirty second time period) both tables were seated by the manager for parties behind us, was offered no apology or recourse. read more

Everything we've tried has been awesome! The snickerdoodle muffin and the pb and chocolate were over-the-top good! Busy Sunday am before church and was told the home-made cinnamon rolls sell out. It's a great place to eat and service is great; the servers are truly a delight! read more

My family was treated horribly Saturday afternoon. The name was put in for 7 at 11 am. They were originally seated at a patio table outside but my grandmother and aunt have back problems and then requested a low top table inside. They waited some time longer and then were seated at a booth inside that fits 6. Mind you, my two aunts obviously do not fit comfortable in a booth. Plus, why would they try and squeeze 7 ADULTS in a booth that obviously fits 6 anyways?? The manager came over and promised a half booth half table and when it got cleaned off they sat another party there!!! Angry words were exchanged and my family were asked to leave. After being utterly humiliated TWICE, and rightfully angry for waiting for an hour to be sat, my family had been asked to leave... I am in utter disbelief at how rude and disrespectful they were. I used to rave about this place but not ever again. read more
