    My family and I enjoyed having brunch here over the holiday season. Our server was excellent. The brunch menu is a bit limited and there are items on the menu that aren’t bunch specific and an applicable alternative would have been nice. Lastly, the macaroni and cheese recipe MUST be changed, it is horrible, from the bread crumbs on top to the cheese sauce, please revise or remove this from the menu. I would recommend this place but not the macaroni and cheese.

    Chicken good, sauces great. Steak terrible, esp at 45$. Sides ok and only Luke warm which was irritating. Prob won’t return though would be nice to see if our experience was a one time thing or the broader experience

    The brunch was amazing! Service was great and we loved the “bottomless” mimosas. I definitely would recommend and come again!

    This was our second brunch experience at Hen Quarter, and it was amazing each time. The food selection was great and the mimosas were top tier. I have a feeling that we’ll be back.

    Had reservations for brunch. They were flexible when I needed to make changes. Food was tasty, arrived in a timely manner and drinks were good. My only suggestion would be to train hosting staff to communicate to guests about wait times and how to manage the crowds that come in,
