    Fantastic Brunch at Hen Quarter in Alexandria! If you’re looking for a top-notch brunch experience in Old Town Alexandria, Hen Quarter is the place to go! From the warm, inviting atmosphere to the impeccable Southern-inspired cuisine, everything about this spot is outstanding. The Crab Cake Benedict was a standout—perfectly poached eggs atop a flavorful, meaty crab cake with just the right amount of seasoning, all covered in a rich hollandaise sauce. It was fresh, decadent, and absolutely delicious. The French Toast was another highlight—thick, fluffy, and just the right balance of sweet and buttery. It came with a delightful drizzle of syrup and was so good it didn’t even need extra toppings. And of course, we couldn’t leave without trying the Shrimp & Grits, which were pure Southern comfort on a plate. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the grits were creamy and flavorful, making for a dish that was both hearty and satisfying. On top of the amazing food, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Can’t wait to go back!

    The food was amazing, the Augie’s platter started us off perfectly, along with an order of frites which came with a variety of tasty sauces to choose from. I finished with a lamb pot pie which was delightful, although next time I think I’ll try the jambalaya pasta. The food had a bit of a dragging wait time, but it was Saturday night and completely worth it.
