The Hen & Egg

Don't even waste your time reading this, go now and get in line to eat!! You will not be sorry! I am so sorry we didn't start going here years ago when they opened, I feel robbed to have lost time with them! Ok, so it is just a breakfast spot and a few lunch items during the week. Breakfast/brunch is all the rage and most of the nicer chain restaurants that specialize in this are pretty expensive. Not only is this place fantastic, it is priced so fairly that I'm scared to even say it in this review because they may decide to raise their prices... But I'll be back even if they do!Since we had never been and because, why not... We ordered a little of everything to give it a try. My wife loves eggs Benedict, and she approves of theirs after eating it on Saturday morning! We also tried a pecan Belgian waffle, French toast, scrambled eggs with sausage patties, and hash brown casserole. Not to mention a couple slices of sourdough toast just to give it a try. Again, we ordered a lot of food and all of it was excellent breakfast fare! We are already planning our return visit this coming Saturday! We're gonna stick with the French toast, eggs, Benedict, and I think I'm going to go for one of the chimichanga breakfast things!It's a small restaurant and very tight seats, however, they turn the tables over quickly and everyone was in a good mood. They told us our wait was going to be about 20 minutes at 9:30 on Saturday morning and it ended up being more like 30 minutes, but that's OK. Oh! Our server was a lady named Savannah and she did an excellent job and we thoroughly appreciated her good service!Run don't walk! To those about to nosh, I salute you!

This was a fun place to stop for breakfast! My brother was in town, we were trying to find an easy place to meet halfway, and honestly there are limited restaurants. We found the Hen & Egg and were very happy with our choice! The menu was very large, the service was great. I couldn't drink my coffee as fast as they were willing to refill, and it was well priced.For the two of us, it was $21 for two coffees and two meals. Portions were good as well.My family has a place not too far and I said they need to add it to their list - we will be back for sure!

Such a great variety of food from healthy options to fattening ones!! The restaurant was busy however didn't have to wait long. Super cute store in a not so busy downtown area.

Love this place! I'm lucky enough to have 2 projects within 10 minutes of this breakfast gem!My previous visit I got the Piggy Chimi.On this visit the Eggs Royale were outstanding- Lox poach eggs with hollandaise sauce on toasted English muffin. Served with a generous portion of hashbrowns lightly salted. With orange juice and coffee. Great breakfast on a cold December morning, good service, fair price and outstanding food.Definitely my preferred place for breakfast in the vicinity of Newton, NC.Thanks!

Service, waffle not cooked to order, friends order was screwed up! He had to wait on his order and it still came out messed up .

What an amazing restaurant! We got in around 1:15pm knowing with a group of 6 we were pushing it. At no point did we feel unwelcome or rushed. Deborah was an absolutely amazing server and such a sweet lady. The food was phenomenal, we were recommended the lemon crepes for the table and they were by far the highlight of my morning. We are in town for a few more days and I fully intend on coming back to the hen and egg before we leave.

Awesome place for breakfast! My wife had the California Benedict, I had the chorizo chimichanga with hash brown casserole. They have fancy coffees as well as regular fare, I got some almond milk with my black cup. The wait was a bit long, around 40 minutes, but we enjoyed walking around the downtown area a bit and taking in some shops both before and after eating. We arrived about 10 AM, if we had gotten there sooner I think are we would've been less. We where they close at 11 AM.Newton is a great town, and really seems to have a lot going on in terms of urban development. Service was fantastic, other customers we met were friendly. Enjoyed visiting with some folks out front while waiting. No cell phone notification while waiting, just listen for your name outside. Highly recommend this place, hope we can come back soon!

This place is PERFECT! The food portions are awesome, the quality is top notch for the price. You just cannot beat it. The staff are friendly, and quick! The french toast is my favorite i've ever eaten & the livermush will beat ANY. EVER. PERIOD. It is so crisp & delicious.

Good food, large portions, nice people. They could put their nameOn the awning. We almost missed it.

Great food at reasonable prices. Staff is always courteous and friendly. Depending on the time you get there you might have to wait for a little while but is definitely worth the wait.
