I just tried this place. Best Omelets and potatoes in town with curbside pick up. This is my new breakfast restaurant.

BEST LOCAL OWNED BREAKFAST-LUNCH PLACE IN TOWN If you like awesome home made breakfast, lunch or pastries visit the WET HEN. Local owned and operated. Brandon and the family will take excellent care of you. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place.

Perfect easy lunch! I work around the corner and this is the best place to get a good lunch nice and quick. The cookies got me!

Great service awesome staff We are frequent customers, food is ready quickly and staff is friendly...Mom and Pop style. Best breakfast potatoes in town!

Great Food My wife and I ordered 2 gobbler turkey sandwiches and they were absolutely delicious. My wife especially loved the cranberry sauce they put on the top of the sandwich made with dutch crunch bread. Can't wait for the Wet Hen Cafe to reopen so we can get my favorite breakfast, Denver Omelette with their delicious thin slice fried country potatoes which are the best in town. Great meals always!

Home Cooking I love this little spot for lunch. It is very much like a good home cooked meal. The workers are all so nice. I have heard it has great breakfast, I just haven't had a chance to try it.

Great Place They have home cooking as good or better than what I used to have at home with my mother. My mother was a fantastic cook and baker.

GREAT home prepared foods. We LOVE this intimate cozy friendly restaurant. The food is fabulous. The staff is friendly and - fast.
We tend to frequent it as often as possible - and we live about 40 minutes away.
We did "takeout" of the grilled ham, cheese and avocado. Delicious. The salad was very generous that accompanied it. My husband wants to buy at least a dozen of their very tasty cookies that come with every sandwich order. Marvelous.

Best quiche in town! We love the Wet Hen for breakfast and lunch. Their quiche is excellent! The sandwiches are also great, my favorite is the meatloaf sandwich when they have it on the menu. Their cookies, pies and other backed foods are yummy too!

Friendly, French and delicious! This little cafe has wonderful breakfast and lunch, they also do catering. The simple food has a French flair and the room is casual and inviting. I especially love that the owners are very hands on and friendly, and the place runs like a well oiled machine. Everything is healthy and fresh, made in house from scratch, and the delicious eggs they serve are from their own chickens! Great quiche, salads and yummy cookies.

Great food, great service This has been one of our go-to breakfast places in the Reno/Sparks area. The crepes are the best!!! The clam chowder takes me back to the east coast. That is just two of the awesome dishes they serve. The owner and the employees are dedicated to making your breakfast/lunch experience something that will bring you back over and over.

I found this cozy place during a random lunch errand on Wednesday, March 4th 2020. There was a nice flow of customers into and out of the restaurant. I had the good fortune of having the owner take my order and he suggested his favorite menu item: the Wet Hen Benedict.

Service was very quick and the plays came well presented with delicious take on the traditional eggs Benedict.

Good food, nice place, fast and friendly service. I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu.

I had to try this interestingly named place after work around 7am.
The food was great! I was sat down quickly, looked at the weird chicken figurines, and ate a nice little breakfast. Everything was cooked well, and some guy across from us really enjoyed his newspaper. The food isn't breaking the bank, either.
Overall, it is definitely worth checking out!!

Immediately upon entering this cozy nook I was greeted with a smile and the question of take out (where you'd be directed to comfy looking chairs after ordering) or dine in and a number is placed on a table for you before ordering. The menu ranges from breakfast to lunch: omelettes, quiche, sandwiches, soups, and salads. Artistic menu names, in house baked goods, and even more smiles and laughter behind the counter. The sandwiches were delicious, the clam chowder thick and warm on a sunny wintry day, and the oatmeal cranberry white chocolate cookie very tasty. We look forward to going back and trying the quiche soon.

Cute, homey, healthy, home made and delicious. Daily specials. Good help yourself coffee. Get the card for a frequent eater discount.

Rustic food with a French twist! This will be my go to spot for breakfast and lunch! I tried the honey glazed chicken and Brie sandwich on a wheat, potato leek soup and a caramel macchiato. I already want to go back!!
They have homemade quiches made with fresh eggs and local coffee too!
Bakery items made fresh...I really can’t say enough good things about this place!
Good for couples, families, anyone!

My family finally stopped by for dinner. Service is good and helpful if you have never eaten in this type of setting. I found the options fresh and a good variety Our youngest is a picky eater so this is a great alternative to pizza. I loved the shrimp and calamari options and my hubby enjoyed the red meat. Our youngest enjoyed the noodles and chicken.

Stopped by this charming little gem of a place for lunch with friend. My husband and I are following low carb diet. We were very happy to enjoy their wonderful mushroom soup while or friend had a grilled ham & cheese, he was delighted with the sandwich & even better there was a cookie on. The side! We will come back again..

Small, quaint and nice. Staff upbeat and friendly and the food is AMAZING. Well worth cost, food tasted fresh!

Best Pumpkin Pie Ever Found this place by luck in search of breakfast options before heading back over Donner Summit. The food (quiche
, eggs benedict, and slice of pumpkin pie) was amazing - think home cooking. But, the service and staff - hostess and owners - made for a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Best pumpkin pie I’ve ever had - yes for breakfast dessert.

Lovely, casual and comfortable place Good food! Upscale but not fancy. This is the kind of place we look for. Comfortable without being sloppy/cheap. Creative and always something different to try.
There was an important (to us) request made when ordering that the egg whites be DONE... not runny. YIKES... they came runny. But when mentioned to the server, he immediately reordered and they were better. BUT... it would be nice when you take the time to make the request when ordering that the importance of that request be shared with the kitchen AND the people there take note and serve it the way requested. FOOD was great and I'd go again and again.

Sure surprised this 5th generation family!! Super Authentic and Just Like Home!! It is rare, that I have found a place that cooks as well as myself, my Guatemalan mother in law or my own mom. I've found places in San Francisco, Houston, Atlanta, Indianapolis and very few in Reno. This place is added to that list. What a surprise. The cooking texture, spices, temperature and freshness, were all correct. How often does that happen or how long will it last? For now, this place is perfect, so don't wait!!
