Michelin-recommended breakfast/brunch with huge portions


























"Over the deep dish pancakes at Hen Mother Cookhouse, we’ve had heart-to-hearts that make the place feel like a family favorite." - Lia Picard

"A drive to Johns Creek (and now Alpharetta, too) for brunch at Hen Mother Cookhouse is worth the effort for those who live ITP. The plant-filled space is cozy, with more seating on the covered patio, and the food is over-the-top delicious. It’s a great place to share a few dishes, like the thick, larger-than-your-head brown butter pancakes and the BLT with garlic aioli. Their pastries, like the cinnamon rolls and seasonal fruit danishes, sell out quickly, so get there early if you want one." - Lia Picard


"Owner Soraya Khoury built a cult following with her refreshing candidness on Instagram, but it’s the over-the-top decadent breakfast items at the Michelin-recommended spot that keep people coming back. Expect thick pancakes bigger than an adult’s face, freshly baked cinnamon rolls, and hearty scrambles. A second location has now opened in downtown Alpharetta." - Lia Picard


"Owned by chef Soraya Khoury, those seeking a delicious variety of dishes during breakfast and brunch should head straight to Michelin-recommended Hen Mother Cookhouse in Johns Creek to indulge in dishes such as brisket hash loaded with seasonal vegetables, tomato gravy, and grits bowls, or savory lobster quiche. There’s typically a daily omelet special on the menu, too, along with brioche French toast and fresh pastries. Make sure to order a cinnamon roll. Another location is now open in Alpharetta. Best for: Breakfast and Southern fare." - Eater Staff


"Run by Soraya Khoury, Hen Mother Cookhouse is a breakfast restaurant whose food I call a work of art, and I’d watch for her if she ever pursues a different concept." - Sarra Sedghi
