The food and service were excellent! Our waitress Shanice was very attentive and the food and drinks came out in a timely manner.

Service was pretty slow. Food was ok. A bit overhyped. I'll try the location in DC before I write them off completely.

Not the typical brunch set-up. Reservations seemed to lack value since it still took roughly an additional 30 min to get seated despite having a reservation. Food was okay. Probably will not be back.

We had a party of eight but could not make a reservation on open table for anything more than six. I tried calling the restaurant directly and they said because it was Father's Day they could not make any reservations for any larger parties. So we made two separate reservations for parties of four and asked to be seated close to each other And they said they would do what they can. When they seated us, our children were across the room so their father could not sit with his children. There were two open tables that seated eight right next to us and when I asked if we could be moved there, we were told no because they were reserved for larger parties. I explain to the floor manager. The issue of not being able to call Lynn to make a larger party reservation and she said there was nothing she could do about that. I asked two more times as the tables stayed empty while we sat there waiting to order and again was told there was nothing she could do about that. By the time we left the restaurant, one table of eight just sat down for service, and the other table of eight was broken down into three different tables. Those tables were still empty. As a chef by tree, I know how the industry works and to not be able to accommodate people when clearly they were able to was a sad disappointment. Customer service, super sees food, quality, and ambience.

Always a great stop to eat. Sad to hear about the Alexandria location. Food is delicious as always. Brunch brussels, pork belly, French toast were all on point

The food was great. The server was not great. He didn't replenish our food. He didn't replenish the drinks often enough.

Great food at a great atmosphere. The bottomless mimosas and brunch menu are on point. Highly recommend this place. Make sure you reserve your table early.

We went for brunch. The chicken was great, but not many chicken options on the brunch menu. The chicken and waffles were delicious and the portion was humongous. When we order this next time we will share. The cocktails were delicious and generous.

Loved Hen Quarter! The food was great - 1/4 chicken, mac and cheese, and collard greens. My friend enjoyed her meal too (1/4 chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans) as well as the Lavender Butterfly drink. I also recommend the Peach Sweet Tea with the vanilla cream. It wasn't super sweet but just the right amount. Alex was friendly and accommodating to us - thanks a bunch!

Food was delicious. Catfish and grits was outstanding. Service was good. Wasn't packed, expected a lot more foot traffic but we're not complaining. Parking...ROUGH...but it's Old Town so it's expected.

From the moment we stepped into Hen Quarter, we knew we were in for a treat. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy and elegant, featuring warm lighting, tasteful decor, and a welcoming staff that made us feel right at home. What truly set this experience apart was the service. Attentive without being intrusive, our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the food. The Hen Quarter is more than just a meal; it's an experience. Whether you're celebrating something special or simply looking for an exceptional night out, this place delivers on every level. We can't wait to come back!

First time visiting for a Sunday brunch. It was a good experience. The staff was on top of it, and the Sunday brunch, which was all you can eat(ish) style, was well thought out and had a good selection. We plan to patronize again. Kudos to the establishment.

We had a Mother's Day Brunch and we enjoyed the eggs and pork belly. The waiter was polite and atentative. We will be back
