Henhouse Cafe

I came on a Friday morning with my boyfriend and daughter. Ordered biscuits and gravy and French toast. The French toast was alright, too much vanilla. The biscuits and gravy were also just alright. Tasted like they use liquid smoke. The orange juice tasted like rum was splashed in there. It was strange. Probably won’t return.

I’ll start off by saying the food here is yummy, and the owner seems great. I have spoken with him before and he seems like a good dude! I wanted to share my experience with him today but wasn’t able to. So I’m sharing it here with the hopes he will see it. So 2 things really made me mad today. I love good food and support local business, but I hate feeling like I’m getting cheated. I paid $ 5.99 for a kids meal (grilled cheese, a side and a drink). For the most part a reasonable price, however I can name many places where kids eat free or under $ 5 and serve a ton of food. This $ 6 grilled cheese meal only came with HALF of a grilled cheese!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! For $ 6 you couldn’t put a whole grilled cheese on the plate!!! Then we ordered a side of super yummy fries. It literally looked like a plate of someone’s left over fries. It wasn’t even enough fries to share with my 3 small children. I don’t mind paying for good food, but I do mind getting cheated. Please pay attention to your portions and fix your kids meals, otherwise we sadly won’t be back.

Right when I walked in the staff is very friendly. I came with friends on a Saturday waited about 30 mins and it is so worth the wait. If you are feeling something sweet you need to try the captain crunch French toast, but if you want a pancakes, eggs or bacon they are amazing as well. whatever you order will be great! The orange juice is good as well. Our servicer was a man and he was amazing! Friendly and nice in conversation!

Sausage is fresh, delicious not oily at all. Green chili skillet is so yummy, potatoes, green chili, eggs and shredded pork! First time there was Friday, craving it next day and had to go back. Service is great too! Met owner and he is a cool dude. So happy for Unilocal to have guided us there. Will be back no doubt!

Excellent food! Fantastic green salsa in my skills and chorizo in the Diablo scramble. My wife is a Mexican food snob and it was beyond her expectations… especially for breakfast.
WARNING: Now, as for the «kids pancakes»…they are ridiculously oversized. They make for great photos and conversation and laughter but these things can feed four adults… I am not kidding!

Excellent food and service as always! However this meal looked so beautiful today I had to take a picture!

We went for the first time today after a friend raved about this place. We were sat immediately, and the entire wait staff was very friendly. The décor is nice — spacious, clean, and just the right amount of kitschy. We did wait a while (30 minutes) for our food, there was some miscommunication between the waitress’ printer and the cook, but they were up front about it, and the food was so delicious; definitely worth the wait! Boyfriend got the kitchen sink omelette, I got the Texas Benedict, and we split the strawberry cheesecake French toast. Boyfriend loved his freshly squeezed orange juice so much he paid for the refills.
We will definitely be back!

It was a little busy when we arrived but were told we could sit as we pleased. We were immidiatly helped and placed our order. After not waiting too long, our food came out. The food was all very delicious and different. Definitely a new favorite breakfast place !

You know a place has to be good when there is a line for a table and people are actually waiting to get a table! A friend and I decided to check this place out after hearing about how good it was and the reviews were not wrong. The food was great and the servers were attentive. We will definitely go back here to eat (especially since I have to taste the other items on the menu)!

Omg I love breakfast food. Especially GOOOOOOD breakfast food! I usually have their pancakes which are so sweet and delicious but this time I tried their Wild Hog Skillet (I think that’s what it was called or maybe I just made it up lol) and LET ME TELL YOU, whatever that creamy, wet sauce on all that meat was, was so amazing I hate being that person that gets the same thing every time but I think I might just have to be because it was so yummy I could eat it every day! Anyways, give it a try guys. Oh and the lady at the front was so sweet and considerate. Warm and caring customer service is always a plus!

Love this place. The portions are huge and everything tastes so amazing. We usually frequent the location at Higley & Guadalupe but the secret is out. The restaurant is always hopping. We’re hoping the location off Val Vista stays a secret for a bit longer.

Best place for breakfast or lunch! Almost everything is homemade, their bread is from Capistrano Bakery, and the staff are friendly. We’ve never had a bad meal there. Highly recommended.

This is a great place! Food and service is great, décor is original and cute. I had French Toast, my husband had biscuits and gravy breakfast. Will definitely eat here again

Hands down a 5+ experience! We arrived just 20 minutes before closing time so I was concerned that we might not have a great experience. Nothing could have been further from the truth! We were greeted immediately and in a very friendly manner — not the eye-​rolling, I-​wanna-​go-​home greeting is prepared myself for. The restaurant is extremely clean and nicely decorated. Our server, Candace, was fabulous! She was friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, patient and frankly delightful. Honestly everyone we came in contact with was friendly. Now the food… oh my the food! There aren’t words. Please see the pictures and know that it tastes as good as it looks! You will not leave hungry; that’s for sure!

We liked this place. Service was great on Black Friday morning. Food came in a timely manner and the coffee was decent. Get the potatoes extra crispy. Kids liked the French toast. I got the sausage Benedict and while it was well prepared, didn’t care for the sausage patty flavor it was more like simple ground pork party than sausage. Otherwise we would come back.

We arrived at opening time. There were four young women starting their bachelorette morning, and the waitress was attentive to all groups and service was rapid. There is just one size for orange juices, etc., which was OK, but a larger size would be nice. My wife had the breakfast sandwich, and the Bacon was done to order, but the egg was over medium instead of hard. Outside of that, everything was well prepared. I had a scramble with jalapenos, chorizo, onions, peppers and potatoes with refried beans and a fresh tasting tortilla on the side. It was cooked to perfection.
Our wait staff was excellent, and I believe we’ll make this a regular Saturday morning breakfast stop.

This place is very tasty and has an expansive breakfast menu.
The buttermilk pancakes are huge, tasty, and super light and fluffy. The green chile skillet is delicious as well! It’s served in a cute bowl, layered with potatoes, shredded carnitas, green chili sauce, eggs cooked to order, and cheese with a tortilla on the side.
The only negative thing I have to mention is how long the wait is on weekends, especially in regards to how long the food takes to come out once you order. Slow. Slow. SLOW.

Nice local (to Vintage Ranch) breakfast /​lunch restaurant. I had «The Kitchen Sink» omelet which was loaded with ham, sausage and bacon. Came with toast and fresh cut potatoes too. A lot of food and tasted great! Looking forward to checking out some other breakfast dishes soon.

Don’t waste your time. Stopped in to try it out because I love breakfast joints. Stood at the counter for several
minutes with the server standing 5 feet away talking to a vendor of some kind, after a few minutes she looked with her finger up as to say just wait and when I’m done talking to this guy I’ll ask you if you want something. Strangest thing ever. I walked a couple doors down to New Mexico grill, ordered a breakfast burrito and we eating in 5 minutes. This place is pretty small so the server saw me, the hostess saw me and the whole kitchen saw me. Nobody lifted a finger. Won’t ever spend a dime there.

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.
