| - My husband and I checked Yelp for breakfast spots nearby and found Henhouse. When we arrived, we sighed: There were tons of people outside, and we figured there would be a one hour wait. To our delight, we saw that there were lovely family-style picnic benches outside where people were enjoying their breakfast in the winter Arizona sun, and there was only a 20 minute wait.
Once we sat down to eat, I noticed that the service was friendly and on-point, and Henhouse had some nice diner touches (coffee mugs that advertised local businesses, small town antique wall decor) but with fresh food and healthy options. The high ceilings also contributed to the feeling of space and relaxation, and our food was delivered quickly. On the menu for this foodie with allergies: Veggie skillet, hold the eggs and tomatoes, add some fresh slicked turkey. Plus, a cup of steel cut oats with both craisins and raisins, hold the sugar. YUM. The potatoes are thinly sliced and pan-fried, and tasted too fresh to have come from a plastic bag. Hubby had the two egg plate, and was delighted to learn that the bread came from a local bakery. Indeed, the thick chunk of rye bread was beautifully marbled - none of that anemic sandwich bread for Henhouse.
So, did we like it? Yep - we've been twice in the past week, and it's not the last time. Even better, this time, when I suggested breakfast, it was my husband who suggested Henhouse. Winner!
