The wait staff and management here are A1 in my book. They go out of their way to ensure an incredible experience and let me tell you, they did not disappoint during our latest visit. The food and ambiance always deliver on what a brunch should be. Plan your next outing here and you will not be disappointed in the least.

Every time we come to Hen Quarter it’s a great meal experience. Our server Lisbeth was great and attentive. We went during brunch on a Sunday and it wasn’t crowded nor noises, a great time for us. We will of course be back again, thanks Lisbeth and Hen Quarter!

We got the grilled Carolina bites and cornbread as appetizers. I personally don’t like cornbread in general but my date enjoyed it. We both enjoyed the bites as well, although the service is on the smaller side. For our entree, we got the 1/2 fried chicken with Mac n cheese and brussels. I loved the brussels! The mac and the chicken were ok. Our server was very sweet though, and I believe he was managing the entire floor on his own and doing drink orders at the bar too at some point.

Went for brunch. Food was great. Service started off great but got slower as our meal went on. Prices are pretty steep, but that’s the way it is these days
