Vibes- very cool, artsy location with dim lighting and an eclectic crowd Drinks- pretty & strong, but probably 8/10 on flavor Pasta- 10/10 probably hands down the best pasta I've had in a long while. Rich, well seasoned, and fresh Service was also awesome and there's a secret dessert menu our group really enjoyed! read more

Hen House - Espresso Martini - Wine Bars Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

See all

It pains me to have to leave this review. I came here once before several months ago and was very impressed. I had a fantastic espresso martini and the best brussel sprouts I've ever tasted! So I was excited to come try something else. On the plus side, the bathroom was so nicely decorated. It was also very clean. I sat at the end of the bar, beside the little section of books. The bartender was nice. I ordered the Ember&Passion cocktail. Although it was pretty good, it was quite mild. Unexpected with the ingredients in it. I was surprised that the level of expected heat was not very detectable. I give it 7/10. When I came here before in the winter, the temperature was perfect and I don't remember being too bothered that they don't have cocktail napkins. But yesterday it was quite warm in the restaurant and not having these napkins wasn't good. Nobody in the restaurant had any type of napkin under any drink! I noticed that just like mine, every glass of water from every patron had a puddle of condensation under the glass. Each time I picked up my glass of water, it would drip onto my food and clothes. My two menus got so wet. I suppose they made this decision to save themselves a lot of money. As for the food: My parmesan truffle fries were excellent!! Hot, crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked in the middle. Best I've had in a long time. The Alabama white sauce on the side was just your typical sauce. It tasted just like every other Alabama white sauce that I've had so was not disappointing. But I actually ended up not using it because it was too thin and it didn't add anything to the fries. The fries were excellent enough on their own. I ordered my burger "pink" but there wasn't any pink to it, but I wasn't that bothered about it. Burger and the toppings were tasty, except for the fried green tomato. Looking closely at the picture, you can see that it was SO SMALL compared to the size of the burger. When a restaurant does that, don't they realize that it makes for a glaring disappointment?! It apparently came from near the end of the tomato, and not the middle. If you are going to offer a fried green tomato on a burger, then I feel as if you should only use the larger slices of the tomato, and save the smaller ends for maybe putting in salads. I've always been obsessed with fried green tomatoes. After having my first two bites of burger and still not reaching the tomato, I took it off to eat by itself. Sadly, it tasted terrible! I was surprised. Obviously, they didn't season the tomato or the batter. (Salt and pepper go a long way.) The burger toppings apparently made the tomato batter not only soggy, but also this strange thick texture. Like mushy and chewy at the same time. 1/10 Worst problem: FLIES!!! So many flies! When I just had my drink but no food yet, I noticed them but was not bombarded by them at that point. It wasn't until my food came. All of a sudden I was literally surrounded by them. They were everywhere! No exaggeration. I actually had to use only one hand to eat and the other hand to constantly move back and forth over my food. I eventually gave up and set the plate of some of my fries about 4 inches in front of my burger in order to hopefully draw the flies to the fries so that I could eat my burger. Unfortunately, after only four bites of my burger, when I set it down to take a drink of water, a fly landed on it within one second. Obviously, that was my last bite, and even when I was moving the plate closer to the end of the counter, two more flies landed on it. The glass of straws was inches from me. That, and the book closest to me seemed to be where they gathered to wait for their opportunity to dive bomb me. So many of them! It turned my stomach when I realized that I had been drinking from a straw with my water and I'm sure there had been flies on it before I got there. Every person that gets a straw in their drink at this restaurant has had a fly sitting on top of it. When the bartender told me about the desserts, it turned my stomach to think of just how many flies were in the kitchen. Had I known the fly situation was that bad when I first got my drink, I would have never stayed there, and I certainly would have never ordered food. I do think it is a real shame because the winter months are a totally different experience in that restaurant. But because of how horrible it was this time, I just can't ever come back. read more

I stopped here for a quiet Sunday lunch and had a really pleasant experience. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad along with a mocktail, and both hit the spot. I ate every last bite! Maybe I was just hungry? The atmosphere was relaxing, which made it a great place to unwind and enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. Service was smooth and didn't feel chaotic like an actual hen house. Overall, a solid choice if you're looking for a low-key lunch with good food and a peaceful setting. I'd definitely come back. read more

Very nice establishment for meeting up with a group of friends or just a bestie. The cocktails are very contemporary and well crafted. I had a Bam-Bam & Pebbles, which was tasty. But I was disappointed that there weren't any accoutrements to decorate the glass. I also ordered had the Hen House wings, which were fabulous. It was similar to a Thai style preparation. Additionally, I tried my friend's truffle fries, which were deliciously appointed with nice portions of Parmesan shavings and a great dipping sauce. The crispy Brussels sprouts were yummy with hot honey and bacon. Lastly, I tried a little bit of the smoked salmon dip and it was good too. Overall, nice atmosphere and good service. I recommend it and look forward to returning. read more

Mariana was our server. She was very attentive, professional, and nice. We ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and avocado toast with a fully cooked poached egg, requested egg not runny. The avocado toast came out with a runny egg white & yellow. It was sent back requesting fully cooked not runny. You could see it jiggling on the plate. 3rd time Mariana suggested a fried egg and that was cooked correctly. Mariana was very patient and helpful. The ambience and atmosphere is nice. Mariana thank you for taking care of us! read more

So i was super excited to eat here with my friends. I got served refrigerator cold mashed potatoes. I asked the server and he said that was a mistake and told me they make the mash potatoes the night before and microwave them. They just forgot to microwave mine... then they microwaved them and they were still cold. The place is super inviting but if you are microwaving mashed potatoes, what are you doing with everything else? read more

Hen House - Wine Bars Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

We chose this restaurant to celebrate my daughter's 16th birthday with 12 of her friends for brunch, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. Before our reservation, we were told the food would be served tapas style, which we completely understood. However, it took nearly two hours for everyone at the table to receive their food. The dishes arrived so slowly that the girls couldn't really enjoy the meal together. Drink refills had to be requested, and the adults also waited a long time for cocktails, despite the restaurant not being busy. The biggest disappointment wasn't just the delays; it was how the situation was handled. When I spoke with the manager, I was hoping for some acknowledgment that our celebration hadn't gone as planned. Instead, I was told there wasn't much he could do. He offered dessert or a $50 gift card, but I had already brought a birthday cake, so dessert wasn't an option. Beyond that, there wasn't much effort to make the experience right. I work in customer service, so I understand that mistakes and delays can happen. What often leaves the biggest impression is how a business responds when things don't go as expected. Unfortunately, I didn't feel there was much empathy or urgency to turn the day around. We spent about three hours at the restaurant, and by the end the girls were restless and ready to leave instead of enjoying the celebration. It was disappointing because we had chosen this restaurant to mark a special milestone. I hope this feedback is taken constructively. The food itself wasn't the issue, the timing, communication, and lack of service recovery were. I hope future guests celebrating special occasions have a much better experience. read more

This restaurant deserves a -5 star review. The food is good, but the service is so incredibly TERRIBLE!!!!! Per the manager on 7/18/26 they had a "chef and a half in the back" and were very busy?!?!?! There were 2 other tables. Had a 12pm RSVP and food started coming out at 2:10pm. One of the waiters came out and said, "last but not least." My daughter still hadn't received her meal and when I mentioned it he rolled his eyes and shook his head. I will never have a meal here again. The absolute worst service in a restaurant I've ever experienced! read more

I stopped at Hen House in Memphis after driving 13 1/2 hours. I was greeted promptly and seated. Hen House seems to attract a 20 something crowd serving a variety of mixed drinks, some of which are house special recipes. They serve a limited food menu. It's a great place for a group of friends to stop while bar hopping. Service is superb. My server was very attentive and a good salesperson. She sold me on a second drink and dessert. My lobster roll was excellent! A good mix of lobster claw meat without being drowned in butter. Very tasty. The fries were nice and crispy. Thin and quite good. I highly recommend The Hen House if you're with a group of friends. It was good for this very tired traveler too. read more

Hen House is one of my fav places to have a nice cocktail and tapas experience in Memphis. My favorite drink is the espresso martini, and their truffle fries are just to dieee. Ambience is nice- you can elevate the experience with a nice outfit, but you can also come as you are and feel just as cozy. Servers are very well educated on the menu, and they kindly answer any questions. I always make a reservation, so there's never been a wait.It's just across the street from Gibson's Donuts too, making it the perfect way to end date night! read more

I went the first time.... What I really don't like is the strangers trying to disturb you. It don't make any sense to me not one bit especially when it's a group of people. Secondly, How are you not going to have the food that suppose to be in the restaurant so I had to choose another item off the menu. The food was nice, but the strangers and not having the other food on the menu really ruined the vibe that I don't want to come back. read more

Hen House - Chicken sandwich and truffle fries - Wine Bars Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Ok so last time I was in town the power was out but we passed this place and I'm so glad the trip we stopped by. The grilled cheese braised whatever. 5/5. Now I probably should have split this and tried a salad bc that looked good or another dish but their menu is on the small side but the food is fantastic. Everyone was nice and kind and this was quick to the table. My friend nabbed the mahi and said it was fantastic. Hoping to stop by next time we are in town and see what changes on the menu. Ps love it when there are candles at dinner! Little things matter and the bar even gives you a place mat. read more

We had dinner here when they first opened and we left underwhelmed. However, we decided to give it another try and returned for a double date. To my pleasant surprise, the food quality had significantly improved. The interior is very charming and the atmosphere is cozy as I how remembered it. We ordered a couple of appetizers and drinks, all turned out really delicious. My pasta dish was delightful and my friends also enjoyed their entrees. Overall I'm glad we decided to revisit as the experience was thoroughly enjoyable. Definitely adding this place to our date night spots! read more

Get in here friends! Let's get into how delicious this place is. Sometimes the food, service, drinks and everything be sooo good that I try to find something wrong because i can't believe how perfect my experience was. Top tier service. My friend and I sat at the bar and everyone at the bar spoke to us and knew our names. There is a cheat code that I couldn't figure out. The bartender recommended our drinks based off our description of what we liked and he didn't miss. The food was amazing. The salad portions are huge and the truffle fries sent me to heaven and back. The guacamole had lump crab meat in it . I also ordered eggrolls(we need more than two) because they are delicious. I literally love the location and ambience. I look forward to taking my family here. read more

Cute, clean spot on Park Ave. in Memphis. Jarrell, the server, thoughtfully advised me that it was happy hour when I arrived. Accordingly, I selected the old fashioned. I knew I was taking a chance... It's so hard to find a good old fashioned... But I was not disappointment. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the bartender used a single gigantic ice cube to chill my drink! Whenever I get an old-fashioned and it's chilled with a scoop of ice cubes, I know what's gonna happen next and it's not good! Lol! I selected the wedge salad, and from the happy hour menu I selected the Birra sliders. I really liked the wedge salad. It was a humongous portion. I would've enjoyed bigger pieces of bacon and more of those delicious, pickled onions. They were the best! The sliders were also tasty. The portions were very generous and the beef was done nicely. It was served with an au jus dip on the side for the sliders. I wish that the dip had been a little hotter, spice and temperature wise. That being said, others could easily disagreed. I really like the service too. It was the correct amount of attention. Sometimes one place is not busy service can overdo it... Not so here. I got exactly what I needed. Great suggestions and very pleasant. Hats off to Jarrell. Ultimately,I was very happy with my Henhouse experience. Great atmosphere, great service, great food. I highly recommend this spot. I will definitely return the next timetime I'm in Memphis. read more

Overall, our experience was good/fine for a Saturday night out without the kids, but not enough to make us eager to go back. The service was perfect despite a busy house (Durrell was our waiter): attentive, friendly, and overall excellent. The drinks were pretty tasty/the food was good, but it just left us hanging. The ambiance would be best described as "basic B." I.e. gold finishes, there is a neon light-up sign with an inspirational message, old-time glamour movies are playing silently on the while while Britney plays on the speakers. The dress code appeared to be everything from straight up athleisure to jean shorts paired with top (group of girls having a wine night near us) to a dressier couple out on a date. Ambiance: 2.5 stars. We shared: California Guac -- it was nice having fresh, tasty crabmeat in the guac, plated with moooore than enough chips, but it felt like it was missing a punch, maybe would have been better with a little heat or something? I had: Lobster Roll. The lobster was fresh/it was a better lobster roll than I expected Memphis to give me, but it was served with what I can only describe as McDonald's style fries with a bunch of pepper on them with Heinz-tasting ketchup for dipping. Even elevating this with a simple aioli instead of ketchup would have helped, but it would have probably been better paired with like a side salad with citrus and avocado. I ended up picking at my fries by dipping them in my husband's pasta sauce (see below). He had: Pasta Carbonara. It was surprisingly citrus for a carbonara (made a little sense maybe because of the shrimp?) and came swimming in a lot of sauce. He gave it 3.5 stars for "too much sauce not enough shrimp" though the pasta "seemed freshly made." Food overall: 3 stars. We drank: the Ooh-Bae, the Feeling Good, the BBQ something and the white wine flight. The Feeling Good was bright and fun, reminded me a little of a pisco sour. My husband said it was missing something for him. Maybe would have delighted the palate more with some egg whites a la pisco sour? I thought my husband's Ooh Bae was tasty and drinkable despite being stronger than mine; he thought it was yummy. One of the wines in the wine flight we couldn't come up with tasting notes for other than dry minerality. I gave that one to him to drink alone. The other two wines in the flight were fine. He also had the BBQ something - it was a bit too strong for me; he thought it was "good." Overall, the cocktails were significantly better than the food. Cocktails: 4 stars If we went back, it would probably be just for some drinks at the bar or maybe to try brunch. read more

This is a great spot to meet a friend for drinks! They have a long wine list and are knowledgable about what to serve you. They also offer seasonal cocktails. The food menu is a bit limited and contains unique dishes, from sticky Thai wings to a lobster roll. I would recommend getting a drink and maybe an appetizer if you are picky. The decor and setup inside is so cute! My favorite thing about Hen House is the aesthetic. I believe they also have an outdoor patio. read more

I went for brunch with a friend from out of town on Saturday. Made reservations but they weren't needed. It had a pretty limited menu for non-meat eaters (aside from salads) so we opted to split the avocado toast. Chef was accommodating to swap from poached to scrambled egg whites. The avocado on the toast tasted and had the texture of bagged avocado. It did not taste fresh at all. Tomatoes were past date too. The eggs with feta were quite tasty. Definitely get the espresso martini. That was worth it. Might be back for a drink or dinner. Brunch might not be their sweet spot. For the owner - your brunch menu isn't even on your website. I found it later on IG. read more

Delicious espresso martini, best in Memphis. Matthew is one of a kind, also not too bad to look at!

This is such a beautiful, chic, modern with an antique vibe. From the time you walk to the front door and all throughout the establishment you feel the vibes. It's a bit of classy with a touch of hippie and fun. The restroom even has captivating decor that keeps you in the same vibe. On to the food and drinks! It's interesting that they started out as a wine bar, but due to Covid they decided to add in food to keep the business going. I'm glad they did, lol! Even though I haven't had an official entrée the truffle fries went really well with my HEN HOUSE FROZÉ! It was soooo good! It had Flocking Rosé, Peach, and Citrus. It was a prefect blend. To cap it off I had the BANANA'S FOSTER bread pudding top with marshmallow creme. Delicious! The price point is moderate if you ask me. The drink I had is small and starts at like $15. Oh once we finished eating, we went into the back room and let me tell you...it was everything. It's the perfect place to throw a small girls night or book club meeting, etc. There are so many photo opportunities throughout the restaurant. You just have to see it and experience it. Definitely worth visiting! Love it. read more
