“Miss Rayne was amazing … kept our coffee cups full. Mr. Stephen cooked a great ham and cheese omelette. The facility was remarkably clean.

This is now our favorite Waffle House in the John’s Creek area.

Visited on 10/20/24.“

“I want to thank the Johns Creek Egg Harbor Cafe for a great luncheon experience yesterday! Justin and Ramsey helped me set up a reservation for 24 of my friends. All the arrangements went very smoothly. Alley was our AMAZING waitress! She was obviously used to taking care of large groups. Alley was super organized and anticipated our every possible need and did it all with a smile and a caring attitude! The food was great. We would definitely come back again! Thank you! ❤️❤️“

“I joined a friend here recently. I haven't actually dined in to a First Watch in years. It was so nice! The hostess was sweet. The menu was much like I remember it. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. My favorite entree is the avocado toast! I swear they sprinkle a lil extra love on top. Overall, great experience and can't wait to visit again! #ashsaidit“

“We stopped here while on vacation and was instantly greeted with super friendly service. The amount of food choices they have is a little over whelming but honestly, the fact that they have so many choices and make everything to order is amazing. The food was delicious. Best rueben, wings, and ranch we've ever had. I wish we had something like this where we live because I would go once a week, I'm sure.“

“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!“

“This is the best Waffle House I’ve ever been too! Really the quality is always the best . Grits are never runny- waffle never overcooked . Just yum . They charge more than the waffle houses closer to me but I’d rather go here for their consistently good service !“

“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.“

“We are from out of town, visiting the nearby amphitheator. And when we saw the name of this place, we simply couldn't resist. And boy, are we glad we didn't. The atmosphere of the place, from the jump, is awesome. The staff, beyond perfect. Our waiter was perfect. Our entire experience was perfect. The grits - to cry for. The biscuits - perfect. The pancakes - delisious. Literally everything about this place was right on the money. We suggest it to anyone swinging through Alpharetta area. It will not let you down!“

“Good food nice service very clean everything spectacular for sure I will be back!!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“WH does it up right for Valentine's. First time having reservations at WH which was amusing to say the least. Decorations were awesome and the red aprons really popped. Staff was on point and smiling which made for a wonderful overall experience. It was busy but they handled the rush well as usual. 10/10 would recommend“

“Our waitperson, Tiffany, was fabulous!!“

“Friendly staff! Clean! And great prices“

“Great customer service good food“

“This WH has a friendly staff! The food was cooked perfectly! We enjoyed the friendly interaction with the cooks! Best WH I have eaten at!“

“Seriously the best cupcake I've had in San Antonio. It's not absurdly sweet and the flavor is strong and balanced. The frosting does not leave a film at the roof of the mouth like conventional cupcakes do. So worth it and great for those with dairy and egg allergies because it's vegan!“

“We had an amazing brunch at J. Christophers! Our server, Maya M., was incredibly sweet and attentive, she made our visit extra special. I had the avocado toast with a side of fruit, grits, and fried potatoes, everything was fresh and delicious. My whole family left happy and fully satisfied. Highly recommend for a great brunch experience!“

“Great breakfast! Will definitely try them again.“

“I’ve been visiting this location for quite some time and usually have an average experience. The place is relatively clean and the food tastes like any other Ihop, but the last two times I visited, I had the same server, Natalie, and she completely changed my experience. She was very friendly and attentive. Even when my little ones were being indecisive with their orders, she was still very patient and even went through some of the options with them. This is by far the best experience I've had at a restaurant; the food even seemed to taste better than previous times because she brought it out so quickly. Would 100% recommend this location!!“

“Management must have changed because the service was very good along with the food. All the employees were smiling and taking care of the customers. Big change from years gone by.wow improving every time I go. This was the best visit yet. Great service and wonderful food!!!! This is now my first choice for breakfast.“

“I cooked it with perfection #mastergrillop durante Lee unit#1696“

“We're not the same old waffle House. Improved food service, great customer service... y'all come by!“

“Brunch with family at our favorite place!“
