Great food and customer service. Fast, friendly and downhome. Best mac and cheese I have had. Definitely will be back to try everything on the menu.

Food was awful. Worst soul food I have ever had. If I were at a cookout and got a plate of this food I would have secretly thrown it in the trash. Ribs looked spoiled, Mac and cheese was not terrible, greens had no taste. I was tempted to go ask for my money back it was really that bad. It was 0 stars for some reason that wasn’t an option.

Henry's Soul Cafe is everything you should expect when getting Soul Food (in da hood) ....I mean Urban Environments! The food is GREAT! The lines are long, the staff will say what's on their mind and eventually...you will get out of there....just be patient!

If you expect something else, I dont know what to tell you. Henry's has some of the BEST authentic Soul Food in DC....WAIT FOR IT!

Lastly, the sweet potatoe pie is everything! Don't die without having it at least once!

They don't take cash. And I didn't have a card with me. So I didn't even get to taste the food. So be sure to pay attention to the little sign that says card only. I was very disappointed.

Chittlins (my only comment don't cut them so fine, my teeth work... Lol). Everything else was a 10. Turkey wings taking off the bone, the sides are on point. The chittlins taste good though but you lose something when you chop them down so fine, it's needs some texture.

I knew it would be great the moment I walked in. I went all out and got catfish, meatloaf, fried chicken, and all the sides. Everything was seasoned perfectly. This is my place for soul food!

Our 1st time here today, 9-24-2025. It was 5 of us. 2 got pork chops, 2 got fish and 1 got beef ribs. When I tell you the food was delicious I mean it was gooood AND HOT! Whewww we came from NC to DC for business and looked for places to eat afterwards. Hands down the BEST food I’ve had in a long time! I also forgot to tell ya it’s enough food for 2 ppl on 1 plate!

This was my first time at this establishment so of course I was a little skeptical if I was really going to get some truly good soul food. I ordered the country style steak with mashed potatoes with gravy and greens also it came with the cornbread. My second order was the beef ribs Mac & cheese and greens even though I did ask for yams, but it’s OK. For dessert I got the sweet potato pie, which was amazing. I definitely will be returning for a slice of pie or even buy an entire pie. The food was good, I would’ve gave a five star but the beef ribs was very skimpy my first beef rib was very meaty. The second and 3rd had little to no meat on it was hidden with the first rib that was very disappointing. But I am definitely willing to try this establishment out again.
Suggestion to go menus would be appreciated
