Came here maybe 15 years ago. And it was bang in then. Came back to dc got a fish platter Mac and cheese and sweet potatoes with a slice of sweet potato pie. There might be actual narcotics in the recipe. Absolutely smashed this plate that could have fed 2. Try it. Period. Thank me later

Our school faculty ordered catering from Henry’s, and even though I’ve never eaten there in person, I’m giving it my highest recommendation! The food arrived full of bold, delicious flavors,everything tasted amazing. I’m already excited to visit the restaurant myself. If you haven’t tried Henry’s yet, you’re missing out it’s a must!”

My God!! We went to the Henry's in DC on 1/23/2026. The worst collard greens I have ever had in my life!! My husband and I both spit them out. They were not can collards. I just don't know how a person could destroy collard greens like that. They could not have used any kind of meat to season it. I cannot figure out what was used for seasoning. Whatever it was, stop using it. You don't have to get fancy with seasoning. Plain old salt and pepper goes a long way. The collard greens' texture was too soft for me. My husband said the texture was fine for him. Then there is the mac-n-cheese. The mac was extremely grainy. There was cheese on top. However, it appears that some kind of cheese sauce was used in the mac because there was no actual cheese throughout once you get past the top. Not even Velveeta fake cheese. Not a good short cut. I know you can do better. The sweet potato pie was not for me. I don't like nutmeg. My husband said minus the nutmeg, the pie was ok. The texture was good and the crust was cooked throughout. The corn muffin was very good, 4.5 to 5. The lemon pound cake was also good, a solid 4. The chicken wings and whiting fish were good, a 3.5. The breading was seasoned however you could tell that the chicken and fish itself was not seasoned. Well cooked though. Regarding atmosphere, it's fine for a carryout spot. I gave it a 2 overall because a soul food spot must have good mac and collards. We are not likely going there again.

The best soul food spot in DC, chicken is always cooked fresh and they have the best sweet potato pie that rivals one cooked with a grandmothers love!
Haven't tasted food like this in a long time it's amazing

Consistent well done soul food. Henry's is my go to place for when I need go bring my own food (think summer outdoor events). The portions are good, the food will leave you satisfied and full. My favs are the fried chicken and when they have them the ribs.
My friend and I walked in yesterday around late lunch time and the nice lady at the front asked what we wanted and directed us to the menu at the front. I had some fried fish with yams and mac and so did my friend except he got the smothered pork chops. Tender meat, the fish was fresh and delicious and I am for sure coming back for more! Thank you so much the yummy food, it really fed our souls!!! DELICIOUS 12/10 🤩

Definitely WOULD NOT come back to Henry’s! I’m from the area and have been hearing good things about it,decided to check it out. I ordered my food and while I waited, a dude came in the restaurant (he was white) he ordered his food and the older lady at the counter was rude for no reason. I’m sitting at the table just watching for my food and he asked her a question she made a face and responded with an attitude again for no reason. She definitely wasn’t the friendliest towards me either but Like come on now we’re all adults and I physically watched her be rude for no reason. She didn’t act like that towards everyone who came in so it made no sense. The Mac was good the chicken was mid and the sweet potato sides I was given was half of a potato??? I’m sure they make it in big batches but it wasn’t even sweet potatoes it was a potato. Overall the food was ok, the place was kinda dirty so I wouldn’t want to see the kitchen but seeing her act different towards people for no reason is a NO for me.i will say the servings were good sized and The younger lady was nice but the food was ehh . Wouldn’t recommend!

The best food I’ve tried in DC!! The place was warm and welcoming, and the quality-to-price ratio was excellent. I had some fried chicken, mac&cheese, and a potato salad paired with an amazing strawberry lemonade (still dreaming about it) 😍 They also have a restroom and a few bar seats to sit! Merci

First & foremost as much money as this establishment makes I would think they would invest in a ‘WET FLOOR SIGN’ im currently pregnant & easily could of slipped. Customer service from management/ short light skin black hair cook in the back is POOR. I didnt catch her name which is why i described how she looked. Didnt see a hair net or gloves on at all coming to & from the kitchen. Greens were horrible seemed rushed with BIG CHUNKY STALKS left on greens & undercooked and no seasoning. I get stuffed chicken all the time which comes with stuffing today it seems as though the staff was eager to leave rushing to make orders as my plate had the smallest scoop of stuffing doused with souch gravy to the point where the stuffing was so overloaded with gravy it was soggy before even leaving out the establishment. I work in food service so as paying customer when I asked for a separate container of stuffing without gravy( as I was not eating right then & there) instead of the lady cook providing a courtesy container for the inconvenience as she can see the gravy is overloaded she replied very rudely “thats not how this work” and initially wanted to take the already paid for container of food back in the back kitchen just to remove the small scoop of stuffing that was going in the trash anyway because it’s already been opened & touched by the customer. Im concerned for health reasons of cross contamination & saving scraps of food to use for other customers after me because normally I’ve never witnessed such a thing at other restaurants. Maybe she wanted to save for herself to enjoy a snack in the back on her break after a long hard day of working in a hot kitchen.& the mac was mid. Its 2025 Work on better customer service & better presentation.
