We stopped by The Hen and the Hog not knowing quite what to expect, and honestly... it ended up being a really pleasant surprise. Everything we had was genuinely good and we'd definitely come back. First things first: the pancakes are HUGE. Seriously, if you're ordering one as a side, know that one pancake is easily enough for two people to share. We also tried the Secret Lemonade -- and for anyone wondering, "secret" basically means it's made in-house. It was fresh and tasty, but definitely on the sweeter side, so just be prepared if you don't typically like very sweet drinks. I ordered the chicken biscuit sandwich and really loved the flavor. The chicken was well seasoned, the biscuit was great, and overall it was delicious. My only small critique is that the portion feels a little small on its own, so I think it would be nice if it came with a side or something accompanying it. My husband is plant-based, and we appreciated that there was an option for him. He ordered the avocado toast along with a modified salad from the menu, which worked out well. Overall, solid spot with flavorful food. read more

Cute as a button with indulgent southern comfort dishes to fill your belly. I loved the giant pancake, which in addition to our meals was enough for 3 people to enjoy. Fluffy and sweet and not dry. Although I enjoyed my fried chicken biscuit enough to eat it all, it fell a tad short of my expectations. The biscuit and chicken were both lacking volume, the biscuit not fluffy enough and chicken not meaty enough. I couldn't pick it up without it all just crumbling apart. Menu claimed homemade biscuits, but maybe not made fresh that day? Chicken was wide but thin so every bite was just way too much breading and very salty. I would order something else next time. It's a teeny but charming restaurant that was packed when we got there. Luckily we were first on the list so got a table in 5 minutes. If there had been more people and a longer wait, downside is there's no room more than 2 people to stand and wait inside, and it was way too hot to have waited outside. Parking lot has plenty of space around back. All in all, it was a fun and cute spot to take my old folks for a family meal. read more

Came here for breakfast with my friend on Saturday. I've heard amazing things about this place so def wanted to try it out. It was PACKED!!! 30 min to wait for a table. Good for business! Overall, I find the place overhyped. Was basic and overpriced in my opinion for what you get. Restaurant was cute. I ordered an eggs Benedict which for 17 bucks I find a little pricey. The coffee was another 6 bucks and was small and not great. I wouldn't come back but glad I finally face the place a try. read more

Came here for breakfast Saturday morning and it was jam packed. I wish this location would take reservations since the inside is small. We got lucky and got seated quickly. We started with iced coffee. I wasn't a fan but I would try the hot coffee next time. We then had the fruity pebble French toast. The hype was real with this item and it's huge. Finally we shared the brisket bowl and secret lemonade. The brisket bowl was even better than the fruity pebble French toast. I would definitely come back Just to try another brisket item. The secret lemonade was good, but not something I would order again. Overall we loved our meals and I can't Walt to come back and try the lunch items next time. read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast luckily they were able to sit us quickly. The place is very tiny and by the time we were done it was already crowded. The food was ok...I enjoyed the grits and home fries. The omelette was ok but would have been better if I switched the cheese to cheddar. I was disappointed with the pancake, it was really large but dry and thin. I did like the fact that the food is made fresh to order though. If in the area would probably give them another shot read more

If there's one breakfast spot you need to check out, it's The Hen & The Hog. Every time we drove past, the line was out the door, so we finally decided to stop in for brunch--and now we know why it's always packed. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with avocado and bacon, and it was absolutely amazing. My husband went with the Smashburger and house fries, and he loved every bite. Our server Andrew was awesome--friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. The host staff was just as great: welcoming, helpful, and clearly running a tight ship. While we were there, I couldn't help but notice all the food coming out to other tables. The pancakes, breakfast bowls, and everything else looked incredible. Great food, great service, and a lively atmosphere--this place definitely lives up to the hype. read more

I'm Being Generous Because I'm Feeling Merciful. Thursday morning in Hollywood, Florida. Sun out. Expectations low but hopeful. What I got instead was a brunch experience that felt like it was catered by a support group for defeated condiments. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was less "welcoming brunch haven" and more "mandatory staff meeting after a corporate downsizing." Every face looked like someone had just canceled Christmas. No energy. No warmth. Just a collective sadness hovering over the dining room like humidity. We waited 35 minutes for a table. Not at peak Sunday madness. Thursday. And not a "sorry for the wait, we'll take care of you." Just... waiting. Existing. Aging. Let's talk food. I ordered avocado toast. What arrived was not avocado toast. It was what I can only assume was premashed supermarket paste, the kind sold in bulk tubs at a discount warehouse. No texture. No brightness. No seasoning. Just green matter applied to bread like drywall compound. It tasted like someone described avocado to a machine and the machine got bored halfway through. The waffle? Arrived cold. Not warm-ish. Not "let it sit too long." Cold. The fruit portion was microscopic--three decorative pieces placed with the confidence of someone billing by the berry. And yes, they were happy to charge for it. Cold waffle. Extra charge fruit. That's not brunch. That's audacity. Drinks? Watered-down Pepsi products. I don't even dislike Pepsi on principle, but when it tastes like it survived a hurricane of melted ice, we have a problem. I asked for water. It never came. Not once. No check-in. No recovery. No "how is everything?" Because that would require interest. There is literally nothing good about this place. Not the food. Not the service. Not the mood. They don't serve comfort. They don't serve quality. They serve matter. Plain matter. Temperature optional. Two stars because technically it exists and the building is standing. If you enjoy cold waffles, green paste, and existential despair with your brunch--this is your cathedral. I don't need apologies. I need a refund and a time machine. read more

I came here early on a weekday morning after a doctor appointment and was surprised how quickly this place filled up! It felt cozy inside and we got served fairly quickly.

The food was delicious!! I had to revisit this time I had the chicken and waffles . Waffles were crispy outside soft n lite on the inside. The chicken was fried perfectly n well seasoned . A+ The waitress. Was attentive and very knowledgeable with the menu and offered great suggestions on fan favorites. Only critique.i have is the place itself is small ( dining area) kind feels like your sitting on top of each other. But that's because the food is excellent and it's also packed . So it's definitely worth it a lil elbow intrusion ‍ read more

I had never had Cinnamon Toast Crunch French toast before. It was certainly a unique experience that I enjoyed. The icing on top was so good. They were pretty busy but got our food out fairly quickly. Even though it was still morning, I appreciate them accommodating my request for fries even though it was on the lunch menu and not lunch time yet. The decor throughout the restaurant really fit with the vibe. read more

The location is quaint and cozy with a charming farmhouse-style ambiance. Indoor seating is limited and a bit tight, but the service is fast and the staff is very friendly. I came across this spot on TikTok and decided to try it with a friend--overall, it was a great experience. I ordered the lychee mimosa, which was good but could have used a bit more lychee juice. For food, I had the loaded grits bowl and waffles. Since everything is made fresh, there is a short wait, but our food arrived in about 15 minutes. The loaded grits bowl was delicious and very filling, generously packed with meat and peppers, and the grits were cooked perfectly. My friend ordered the breakfast plate, which was tasty overall--the standout item was the chicken sausage. The waffle, however, was slightly overcooked and had a crunchy texture. Overall, I'd rate this place a solid 4 out of 5. read more

I believe this is a scratch kitchen. The food is comfort food from the South. I have really enjoyed the chicken and waffles and the grits. The loaded grits are a meal of their own. They have good biscuits here. The service has been good every time. Lala does a great job. The ambiance is a bit crowded and busy, but it's worth it for the food. They have lychee mimosas here. I haven't tried them yet, but I am looking forward to trying them next time. read more

I keep hearing how good this place is but i dont see it. The staff was very good and friendly. Ordered a simple sausage, egg and cheese biscuit. I put strawberry jelly inside the top half and tried to hold and eat it and the top just disinegrated in my hands. I dont have this problem with mcds biscuits, which i think are excellent. This was really bad, had to eat it with a knife and fork. Also had a pancake which was decent. Doubt i would return read more

Small spot with great food. Been there twice, both times food and service were solid. First time (food not pictured) we had eggs benedict with grits and the chicken and waffles. Amazing chicken and waffles, crisp and tasty. It was full so we sat outside but it was fine. Second time (food pictured) we had shrimp and grits and the pulled pork platter. Amazing for both. Definitely going back when in Hollywood. Menu has various options all worthy of a try. read more

Awesome food, attentive, friendly service, don't miss this place! You will NOT be disappointed!!

The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the staff is friendly, and the food is exactly what you want when you're craving elevated Southern comfort. The standout for me was the shrimp and grits, and here's the best part: they don't include sausage. As someone who prefers shrimp and grits without the heaviness or extra spice from sausage, this was a huge win. The dish is creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, letting the shrimp and the grits shine on their own. Absolutely delicious. Everything else I tried was fresh and well-seasoned, and the service was warm and attentive throughout the meal. They really surprised me, read more

The Hen and the Hog? Wow. The best breakfast diner I have been to in a looooong time. I am going to keep this one short. The shrimp and grits? The best shrimp and grits I had in a long while. On another note, I don't know any other place that makes shrimp and grits better than this place. Everything was a perfect texture and consistency and seasoning. This restaurant is a scratch kitchen so your order may take a long while to come out but it's worth the wait, every minute of it. The creme brulee pancake was another winner. It's so fluffy and the flavor is perfectly balanced between sweetness and fruitiness. We also ordered the brisket skillet, my fiance liked it but for me it was a 3/5. Personal opinion so please disregard if you want to try it for yourself anyway. The vibe is cozy vibe, but the service from our server was so good and attentive that we didn't mind it at all. If you haven't tried this place yet, please try at your earliest convenience you won't regret it. The freshly squeezed OJ was okay, something I would find inside my fridge and definitely not for $8.95 but the food was so good I am not mad over that. Thank you "The Hen and the Hog" for such an amazing breakfast experience for our 16th anniversary. read more

Great place for a hearty breakfast. The parking is pretty limited as the lot is small but there is a street around the corner that has some street parking. The wait was just a few minutes during peak weekend times and the service was quick. The farmhouse vibe is cozy and there's a good amount of tables inside and a few outdoors too The single order of biscuits and gravy to share were amazing and was a meal in itself. Can't go wrong with a Benedict and potatoes either. read more

The Hen and the Hog is a great brunch spot. We enjoyed the entire experience. The charming hostess helped get us a table under unusual circumstances. Our daughter is autistic and it is difficult for her to "wait" for a table. And the Hollywood location doesn't take reservations as it's small. Our server Mason was an amazing. She was attentive, informative and joyful. In fact, all the wait staff were helpful. Even the busboy had to clean up a spilled drink. But no one missed a beat. So appreciative that the entire team were such pros! We will be back. read more

I moved to town and all my neighbors said this place had the best brunch. I looked it up and was like this place. It's very unassuming from the outside, but if you're looking for homemade, from scratch, this is your spot! I put our names down as there were 3 parties in front of us. They were packed inside and outside. Who knew! The wait was shorter than expected. They serve breakfast all day. The portions are large. The pancakes were as big as the plate. I settled on an omelet with home fries seasoned to perfection. They made their biscuits fresh and from scratch. So good! Can't wait to try their lunch! read more

This is a cute little scratch kitchen in Hollywood. The ambiance is very southern and home grown. The service was really good. Our server was Lala and she gave us a run down of the menu as well as some of her favorites. I went with the fruity pebble French toast which was very tasty. I didn't even finish all of it because you get four pieces. My mom got the omelette and she loved it. It was big and had plenty veggies and meat. Their biscuits as also really good they have a nice crunch in the outside but soft on the inside. I would definitely be back to try other items on their menu. They are pretty crowded on the weekends. So try to arrive early morning or later in the afternoon as breakfast is served all day. read more

Food the scrambled eggs where dry tasteless. The grits were excellent. The serves was extremely busy, it was Friday morning. Our guess the server was new, but the support helped. But, when the support help cleans the table he pushed the debris to the floor. Other than that will give it a try. The third time is a charm. read more

02/2026 Rating: 4.5 Been hearing about this joint for some time now but its a bit of a drive for us. Luckily, we were in the area. Parking is ample. RESTAURANT: Located at the end of a small store front, from the outside, it just looked like a typical diner. On a rainy Saturday after 12 pm, the place was packed and we were told that the wait will be about 30 mins. Lucky for us, some people did not answer when called and we happily volunteered to sit on the counter/bar. This place was a lot smaller than I anticipated. There must have been no more than 10 tables inside and a couple outside. It's cramp in there. There was a console for condiments, napkins etc, wall for the drinks, a restroom and the kitchen behind the cluttered counter where all the magic happens. The general theme appears to center around a modern farm house wit the dark faux wood ceiling tiles, antique accent pieces like the oil lamps and wooden telephone. Love the unique light fixtures especially the one over the bar that looks like metal tubs. Their plates are massive and unique and the coffee mugs are really cool. The vibe is high energy; love the banter between the staff. The restroom is clean. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Staff had been really friendly from the jump. The hostess was able to get us the counter/bar seating in about 10 minutes. Our server was also nice and made sure to double check that there were enough ingredients left for our order instead instead of disappointing us. The chefs (whom looked like both brothers and maybe owners?) reassured us that there's enough grits and brisket left for our nachos. Win! Crew in the back of the house were seen working hard clearing dirty dishes and restocking new ones. Food did not take long to arrive. FOOD: Everything in the menu sounds delicious. I appreciate the simple menu as well, which means they focus on making their signature dishes. So we ordered the chicken and waffles, brisket nachos, banana cream pancake and a small bowl of grits because they did not have enough for a plate of shrimp and grits. The grits was so buttery! The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Love the strawberry butter on the waffles too! But that brisket nachos was fire!! They used pita bread, deep fried, then drench them in creamy cheese and cover it with pieces of brisket and pico de gallo, topped with strings of pickled onions which balances the saltiness of the cheese. Sooooooo good. Excellent for sharing. The banana pancake looked unassuming but under that mountain of whipped cream is a banana cream that is so smooth, with just the right sweetness. It's too bad they ran out of briskets and shrimp and grits but we look forward to coming back soon. Overall this was a great first visit. The price is comparable to the portion size which are massive and they all taste delicious. Took off some points because they were sold out of many of their popular items. Space is a bit cluttered and tight. I suggest you come super early or later in the day but expect some food items to be sold out. read more

First let me start with the All-Stars: Angelica- My Hostess (the place was bustling and I almost didn't stay, but she was so nice and accommodating that the wait for a seat was bearable.) Jenni- My Server (she pretty much locked in my choice to become a long time customer- she took top tier care of me!) Valentina- "Boss lady"; she does EVERYTHING and knows the flow of the operation well. I watched her multitask with ease! Lala- surprised me. In majority of establishments, they don't often ask you to do a Yelp Review. She inquired about my experience and asked if I would complete a review. This even furthers the fact that when a team knows they are performing at a high standard, they want honest experiences shared. So now the food: Pancakes the size of hubcaps! Brisket is to die for! I'm not a brisket fan but ordered it after seeing the reviews and it was the first thing finished on my plate. Pulled pork was smoked to perfection. Chunks of it filled my omelet! Sweet potatoe medallions were massive and a delicious addition for breakfast sides! I observed multiple outstanding plates leave the kitchen including the Almond Cheesecake, Chicken and Waffles, Shrimp and Grits, Smokehouse sandwich with colossal onion rings on top, etc. So many dishes that I'll be coming back to try! The biggest compliment I can give this establishment is how in sync the team works. It's a small venue but the team packs a punch. You can feel the partnership and pleasant interactions that they have amongst each other. They create the vibe that keeps customers wanting to patronize. That and of course the tasty entree options on the menu. Few pointers- brunch is jam packed on weekends. However, they serve breakfast ALL DAY- so if you can stand to wait a bit later in the day or early (they open at 7am)- I recommend avoiding the rush.... But by all means COME! EAT! You'll see!!! You'll love it!! read more

I don't see the hype ! Horrible location for breakfast. Needs an awning to keep the sun out. Empty at 8:30am. Now I know why. Overcooked eggs. Burnt bacon. At today's prices this place is over rated. Hollywood location only. I cannot recommend this place. Nothing special or unique. Mediocre staff that could care less. Denny's is a better option read more

Inside seating of restaurant is small and a bit tight. This of course can cause long wait times but we dined outside. Our server wasn't too warm. She plopped our waters down and asked if we were ready to order- that was literally her greeting as we observed the other server asking his table if this was their first time etc. not the best first impression for never being there. The lychee mimosa was solid but it could use a tad more lychee juice. The sweet tea was also solid but the lemonade was soo good. Definitely recommend trying the crispy chicken biscuit . It is something that sounds so simple but the flavors indeed were not. The chicken was crispy yet still so moist. Everything melted in my mouth. 10/10! the Cinnamon Toast Crunch French toast is also good to share. The pig pen omelet was ok but nothing I'd rave about. The potatoes were however tasty read more

We arrived shortly after 8 am on Father's Day and a couple of the tables were already taken. It quickly filled up about 10 min after we arrived. It's not very big... probably enough seating for a little over 30 people. My husband ordered Eggs Benedict with a side of grits and home fries. My daughter and I both got the Rise and Shine. My husband LOVED his breakfast, especially the grits. He said that the grits were perfect and made the way they should be. He didn't have to add butter or salt to it. The grits came out steaming hot and stayed that way for a good while. I loved my biscuit sandwich but wish the bacon would have been crispier. I love crispy bacon but didn't think to ask that it be made crispy. We asked one of the servers if it's always crowded on the weekends or if it was because of Father's Day. She said that it was because of Fathers Day but it does get busy between 8 am - 3 pm. The other Hen & the Hog locations close at 3 pm. This location is open until 8 pm and serves breakfast ALL day so if you are craving breakfast food late in the day, stop by. It will definitely be a much better choice than your other options that serve breakfast all day! read more

Was looking for breakfast and this spot popped up. Located in an unassuming plaza in Hollywood, this is not a huge establishment. Inside is seriously cozy with a very country feel, and there is some outside seating as well. There is also a breakfast bar type seating area that faces the kitchen, giving the whole place a very warm, family like feel. We opted to sit outside and enjoy the weather. Our server Lola was fantastic! She made great recommendations for breakfast and kept the coffee flowing. Multiple staff checked in on us during our meal, ensuring we had everything we needed. read more

If you are in the Hollywood area this is a great place to eat. Mason our server was very sweet and attentive. She gave her recommendation and it was superb.

The shrimp and grits was really good and the whole ate my plate and theirs . My husband had a breakfast sandwich and my son had smash burger. There was nothing left on their plates which is why they came for mine. I can not wait to go back for the brisket it's calling my name read more

This place opened up a while ago, but I'm late to the party. Better late than never, right? I was greeted after seating myself at the "bar" with stools since I was solo dining -- I didn't want to grab a large table that's meant for more than one person. Xavier took care of me. I enjoyed their green tomato eggs Benedict which filled me up. I was just so happy to get poached eggs here. They have cholula or Tabasco as hot sauce of your choice. Ketchup for the potatoes, hot sauce for some of the egg Benedict -- I was happy. They have wine based liquors, so don't expect your drinks to be very spiked. They do have mimosas either with orange juice or lychee, though. They also have wine and beer. I got the Hen Latta, spiked latte but it only had one espresso shot so I asked for a 2nd shot - I enjoy the extra caffeine. It was a bit high for a not so boozy beverage, so I'd opt for a glass of wine or mimosa next time. This is great for groups, a date, a hang out with your friend or, I will say it again, solo dining. read more

I visited this restaurant on a Sunday around 9:30. The wait time was ten minutes for inside. Outside was available but the sun was directly hitting the available tables. My party of four decided to wait the ten minutes. The inside is fairly small, the tables are close to each other. I can't imagine a large party gathering here(anything more than 6). The staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was great as well. The lemonade was fresh and tasty. I loved the jar used for the lemonade. The only reason I didn't give five star is because I felt like my plate presentation could've been better. I ordered the Belgian waffle. Strawberry and whipped cream were an extra 2.50 each. For that price I should've had more strawberries and cream. It like as if it was just thrown on my plate. read more

I was intrigued when I saw this highly rated restaurant in Hollywood. That weekday afternoon there was a wait for tables. We ordered brisket and pancakes for lunch. The brisket was highly rated and from a fellow diner I understand the meat is smoked in their other locations. So that may explain why I found the meat a bit dry. The taste of the meat and the bbq sauce were delicious and the pancake was very good. Hence I gave it 4 stars. I will definitely try again as maybe it was an off day. They had a very interesting mimosa, lychee drink which I will definitely try next time. read more
