   They were clearly understaffed and overwhelmed for brunch. Manager stopped by our table but didn’t expedite anything. Long wait for service , water , drinks and food. Deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes were delicious. Entrees just okay and arrived cold ! Nice ambiance , but will skip next time in Alexandria.

   Really good food, nice servers, but more servers needed -- servers were running hard but somehow managing.

   The food was “ok” could have been better. Service was slow but I know they were very busy so I get it. However the noise and wait time for food was probably the worst of it.

   The service was incredibly poor. The waiter was unfamiliar with the menu and provided inaccurate information multiple times. Our appetizers were brought out and we had to repeatedly ask for plates and silverware while the food sat there getting cold. Eventually we had to approach the hostess to request this since our server was unhelpful. The kitchen was out of certain menu choices that we ordered and our server never informed us. We had to ask for the table to be cleared and hold our appetizer plates to allow room on the table when the entrees were served since our dirty appetizer plates were still there. He forgot to bring out items that we had ordered. Upon conclusion of our meal we repeatedly had to ask for the bill and eventually had to again approach the hostess who then handed us a receipt to take back to our table to pay on our phone. We will not return.

   Visited on a busy Sunday for brunch, place was packed but they quickly sat us after we checked in. Server was very friendly and helpful in explaining the family style brunch and the food arrived quickly after we ordered. We were seated upstairs where it felt a bit less crowded than below but the noise level was still pretty high…it died down a bit as tables thinned out. Food was yummy and came out quickly- our group ordered shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, HQ breakfast alongside the deviled eggs, cornbread, and fried green tomato appetizers. All were great and our server was kind and attentive throughout. Definitely recommend for group brunch, the unlimited family style options make for good value and fun variety.

   We really enjoy the food at the Hen Quarter. The fried chicken is much loved by the family. However, I would like to say that both the kids’ Strawberry Waffles and the Avocado Toast did not match the description on the menu. The Strawberry Waffles were supposed to have whipped cream on top but instead had a sprinkle of powdered sugar and the Avocado Toast said it was on a waffle but it was not, instead was served on thick toast.
