I've eaten here many times and all experiences have been perfect breakfast diner experiences. Service is fast and attentive. Food comes out lighting speed and fresh made to order. It's not too loud. It is downtown, so it can get very busy and a line to get a table depending on which events are in town. Hash browns are crispy, buttery and delicious. Eggs taste like high quality eggs. Hollandaise sauce is fresh and perfect consistency. Chicken fried steak isn't greasy and the gravy goes perfectly with the moist buscuit. I know I'll keep going to this restaurant for years to come.

Stopped in at the Hen House for breakfast downtown Minneapolis and it did not disappoint! Great vibes, fast service, and the food was outstanding! Got the Babe's Benedict and it was so flavorful. Absolute bomb! Wife got the avocado toast and it was incredible. The coffee was strong, and everything came out hot and fresh. Staff was super friendly too. Definitely my new go-to breakfast spot when I’m in the area!

10/10 breakfast experience! So many amazing dishes to choose from. The chorizo bowl was loaded with tons of hash browns, veggies, and savory chorizo. The Lupita burrito was packed full of perfectly tender meat. Tons of seating inside and service was quick, I'll definitely be back soon!

Found Hen House via Google Reviews on a business trip to downtown Minneapolis. Highly recommend! For a solo weekday breakfast, could not have done better. I sat at the bar and my coffee and food arrived within 10 minutes. Super attentive staff— she had a great recommendation to try hot honey with the biscuit and it was superb! I had the seasonal pumpkin spice latte with the Country Fried Steak breakfast. Keep up the great work!

Stopped in for breakfast with a friend. The place was packed but the employees are super efficient and we were seated quickly. The menu has so many options to choose from. Our server made suggestion and the dishes were excellent. We were served quickly and checked in frequently. Lots of stuff in the wall to look at and read. Save room for dessert or take some to go. The desserts are amazing.
