Always LOVE coming here for a great bite to eat. They offer all day breakfast options including waffles, pancakes, breakfast burritos, omelletes, etc. The lunch menu includes sandwiches, salads, and plate lunches such as pork chops, liver and onions, etc. The decor is "Farmstyle" with red checkerboard tablecloths and a checkerboard floor, cute poultry figurines and farm life paintings. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure that we had what we needed; she even made us to-go drinks for the road! I had the taco salad which was Huge in a big taco shell - you could also have it served as a traditional salad if you prefer. I asked what the protein was and I was told ground beef, but she could see if they could make it as a chicken taco salad instead. I asked her to surprise me, and she brought out one made with chunks of seasoned chicken, lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream chopped inions and salsa which was very tasty. My friend had a tuna melt, which is her favorite meal for lunch and a side of onion rings. The sandwich came out nicely toasted with melted cheese and a thick layer of tuna salad. The onion rings were beautifully fried with real onion rings inside a crispy brown coating; she usually shares the onion rings with me but she must have been so hungry and they were so tasty, that she ate them all by herself! We then had to decide from a long list of desserts, including, pies, muffins and cakes. We split a slice of coconut meringue pie, which was quite heavenly! We come through this area quite a bit, so we will definitely return. read more

Great little place.. awesome energy and good food. I'd like to say "great" or gastronomic delight.. but even though it's just a diner...nothing really screamed "notice me!!!" If you're hungry for a warm meal in the morning and you're passing by., it's definitely a place to stop by and fill your belly! read more

Truthfully, a very unassuming place with great food and a witty menu. While I neglected to write down our servers name, she was great and we drove her crazy. She didn't bat an eye and was patient. Naturally, we asked what the "rooster balls" were as we just had to know. It really appears to be a no frills decor place but they provide great service and a delicious breakfast for a reasonable price. Would certainly return if in the area. I just realized that we never took photos. Ooops read more

Will not be back. All original Servers are gone. And replaced by new girls who are loud and slow. took 10 mins just to get drinks. food was not great but we never really came in for the food. But for the girls. we will not be back.. read more

They make a good Eggs Benedict. Best in the local area. All others were more hard boil and not poached. Wait staff were friendly and attentive. Good food for the cost. read more

LIver and onions for lunch were done as good as anyone could ask for. Pleasant waitress and clean looking dining area. We likely will NOT be back due to a credit card surcharge on the billing. Not actually enforceable to collect in Florida. I for one have zero tolerance for it. read more

Great food and service. Restaurant was able to accommodate our party of 11 easily. We had breakfast everyone enjoyed their meals. Would definitely come back next time we are in the area. Wish we would have found it at the start of our vacation. Would have eaten breakfast here the whole time. read more

This is a great place in downtown Inverness. It is a sister business to "The Diner" in Floral city. The waitresses are always very sweet and some of your favorite waitresses might be seen in one place or the other. The food is excellent. They are one of the only places that can get your "over medium" eggs cooked just right. I have had lunch here, which was good, but the breakfast is the best. I would highly recommend this business when you come to Inverness to visit downtown. read more

The breakfast here was outstanding. There are several really nice breakfast places near me, but my sister and I were traveling north from my house and this one was on the way so I gave it a shot. Both of us were very pleased with the food and the service.. Would love to stop here again. read more

The Hen House Cafe - The ambiance - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Inverness, Florida

When you're driving through a remote town and find a great breakfast spot, that's always a win. It's not easy to find a great spot by any means, but when you do it's always satisfying. The Hen House Cafe is definitely a winner in my book! The service was solid. Nothing particularly memorable service wise, but they were moving a lot of people in and out. We were seated promptly and immediately ordered coffee. The coffee was your typical diner coffee. Bland flavor profile, but thankfully not burned. That's what I usually expect from spots like this. I had an egg white veggie omelet, which contained peppers, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, and cheddar. Breakfast potatoes and a biscuit were my sides. Very pleased with my meal. The omelet was cooked well and the veggies were very fresh. The biscuit was fluffy and had a nice texture. The potatoes weren't oily, which made me very happy. A little too salty for my taste, but I imagine a lot of people wouldn't mind this. If I have the opportunity to return here I most certainly will. I recommend The Hen House for anyone in the area. Quick note - no mask mandate here. All staff had masks on, but no other customers did. read more

Takes me back in time, everytime. Service is great, everyone is a character in a good way. The food is fantastic. Have been a few times for breakfast cannot comment on the lunch. Eggs Benedict is on point, pancakes are as big as your head, back is crispy and delicious. Home fries are great if they're slow, get them well done. Hash-browns have been great every-time. Cowboy omelette will leave you full but happy! Classic eggs are money, homemade wheat toast is great. This place is the classic diner you've been wanting to eat at. read more

The food was fabulous. They even added a new special that was a crunchy French toast with bacon or links for $9.99. The king had his usual 2X 2x2 (pancakes, well done, bacon, crisp, and eggs, scrambled regular,) along with a couple of his usual extra sides smoked sausage split into Well and Patty sausages well. The service was phenomenal as it always is today we had Stephanie. There were lots of customers about. This is our regular Saturday morning at 10 AM @ The Hen House Cafe. It never fails that we see someone that we know - the ambiance is kind of like "Cheers" but in the morning and for lunch in Inverness Florida. Best local restaurant in the universe. A shout out to all the staff and the management. is the proprietor, sometimes busy but a great service really helps. Along with the kitchen, staff of cooks and dishwashers, and a boy makes every Saturday fantastic.

What a hidden gem. We all had the omelets there. So tasty and flavorful. The staff was so friendly. Will definitely come back again.

Great Local Restaurant for Breakfast or Lunch , food is always good , Staff is always friendly one of our favorite Restaurants

OK, so been coming here for several months and went today and the food was not the same. The waitress said the cook quick and will not come back. What a shame, pancakes were great before, never needed syrup or butter, now they are a mix and leave a film in the mouth. The omelets were nice and big before, now they gave me a small omelet and it was dry. So sad, it was a great place to go, won't be back, BRING BACK the old cook!! Update! We ate here again after the owner said the cook did not leave and found out from another waitress that the cook left and the owner is also not cooking so will not return or recommend this restaurant for breakfast. read more

Good food at reasonable price with friendly service. Ambience was appropriate and restroom clean.

Our waitress was not friendly at all to start with, by the end of our meal she was a little warmed up. The food was meh. Grits were runny and the selection on the menu was slim. read more

The food was delicious, and the staff were outstanding. I would go back and I would definitely recommend to others.

Legitimately the best restaurant for breakfast in Inverness. The food at Hen House Cafe is fresh, delicious and well prepared. They make amazing Bacon cheese fries for breakfast and probably the best I've ever had. I highly recommend this place. read more

What a cute little spot! The service was very friendly, Tiffany was great. They were very welcoming and kind and made sure we were all taken care of. The food took a while to come but it was worth the wait. We got the French toast with blueberry compote, the grilled chicken sandwich, 2 pancakes with strawberries, and an omelet with green peppers, mushrooms and onions with a side of potatoes. All were fantastic! read more
