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.
