“Absolutely love this place. Everything I've ever ordered was delicious The grits are nice and cheesy and my favorite is their cinnamon raisin toast. The service is great and friendly and the price point very reasonable. Oh and try the freshly squeezed orange juice! Highly recommend!“

“We had such a great time at this brunch spot that we were eager to explore another location! Hen Mother Cookhouse offers a truly unique, friendly, and spacious dining experience.

First off, the Alpharetta location is much larger than the Johns Creek one. According to the sign, it started in 2018, long before the pandemic, and right when downtown revitalization was all the rage. We were absolutely captivated by the renovated house with its enormous heated patio—it was amazing! The star of the patio was the flooring, made from all-weather material. The lunch noise level was pleasant, so you didn’t have to shout.

The service was nice, but it felt a bit distant. Our server was constantly moving between the patio and the inside. Some might think his attention was slow, but we were fine with the pace.

The owner was there on this day and was very friendly with the regulars. She smiled at us, but her request was quite demanding, like booking a Swift concert.

As always, the food is the highlight. I got the Caesar salad with a fried chicken thigh, and my wife had pancakes and bacon. My salad was delicious, and the brined fried chicken on top was fantastic. However, the two pancakes were huge, the size of two frisbees—yes, both in circumference and depth. The flavor was still like an old-fashioned house pancake, but the size was overwhelming. Just imagine a skillet cornbread popping out as a pancake that took 20 minutes to cook—I wouldn’t recommend it. The bacon was good, but I think you should offer Waffles and Bacon instead of just Chicken and Waffles, as not everyone enjoys that combination. Also, the owner charged me $0.65 for a side Caesar dressing—come on, really?

Even though I wouldn’t say I’d “simply” recommend Hen Mother Cookhouse for the food, I’d definitely suggest it for the experience. The menu is gourmet and definitely worth checking out. But, to be honest, the food is good, but the prices are a bit steep; it took me two visits to decide. We spent $55 on two pancakes, bacon, and a Caesar salad, and that’s without drinks. I really love the history and her story—chef to owner—but not allowing any flexibility with your menu is subtle arrogance and sadly you’re paying for “Lululemon when Costco sells the same leggings!” With that said, Oy!, J Christopher, Snooze, Flying Biscuit, and First Watch are still my top 5.“

“Excellent service and great food!“

“I love this place healthy food and delicious foods 🫶🌺“

“CREW WAS SO NICE OMG!! Me and my friends came in pretty late after a football game. We were welcomed with warm smiles and nice greetings all around. Then, when we got our food the service was so amazing and Phil our chef made us feel so special. We were splitting a waffle between 4 people and we were given cute it split so cute! Everyone went so above and beyond I felt more than welcomed!!!!“

“Best service, best food, always friendly staff and our family loves it!! The Valentines Day event is always a super special treat for us!“

“Where do I even start… Hands down the BEST place to eat. I have nothing but positive thoughts, vibes and love for this place. The ambience in the restaurant is so beautiful. The staff are all amazing people, they treated me with so much respect and kindness, especially the lady up front Mazie. I could ramble on about her. The food was so delicious! Please if you ever think about coming here, please do!“

“Good biscuits. I was in recently with my daughter and niece. My daughter and I both got 'The Squawking Goat'. I wish I had taken a picture because there was a distinctive difference in size for each of our biscuits and chicken. The girls hat for me to take pics of our food but I wish I had as it demonstrates a lack of some consistency in the kitchen. They were still good and tasted as expected. My niece enjoyed her breakfast bowl as well. The toffee latte is far too sweet. I ended up having to put some black coffee in it to make it less so.“

“Good breakfast plus burgers and such. I love the hash browns. Becca was an excellent server and she cooked too.“

“My son, grandson and I had Christmas morning breakfast at Waffle House in Alpharetta and it was great. The staff all had smiles and pleasant attitudes and the service was excellent, especially considering how busy they were! I didn't get her name, but our waitress had hair the prettiest shade of purple, and a beautiful spirit. Just goes to show you that happiness is a choice - and the employees at this location all choose to be happy and kind!“

“Brunch with family at our favorite place!“
