Steve McParland: Great biscuits. Very original pancakes. The pancakes are yeast raised and taste like eating a beer. I like it. Toasted bread is excellent too. There was a fairly long line but still quick to seat.
Drew Elrick: Biscuits and gravy are so good! Busy on the weekends.

City Pages: Biscuits are made fresh each morning, creating a tender yet sturdy backdrop for the sausage gravy. The roux-based sauce that goes on top stays light but still has a wonderful creaminess and flavor.
City Pages: Serving simple and generous salad Nicoise, croque monsieur, and fruit and berry crepes, French Hen's menu also inlcudes mouth-watering buttery biscuits and spicy sausage gravy.
Jake Ferguson: Amazing biscuits and gravy. Berry Crepes were also wonderful. Wowzers.
