They have very chill cats outside. I had the philly nachos and it was very good my buds got street nachos and a chick sandwich which all looked good. The icecream was really good too.

A cozy atmosphere that greets you even before you enter the building in the form of 3 friendly cats. It feels more like a home than a restaurant with the staff as a family that tends to your dietary needs. The owner Emmi went out of her way to prepare the nachos I ordered vegetarian style for me and the greek spinach wrap was incredible. Local spots like this make me feel welcome after moving down south

Mama Henry's deserves five stars for the off the charts home cooked food, five stars for the incredible service and another five stars for the ambiance. Simply perfect are the two words I'd choose to describe Mama Henry's. I can honestly say, for first timers at Mama Henry's we were welcomed and made to feel like regulars. Speaking of regulars, it's clear everyone there when we were, were regulars. Like family! We had the pleasure of meeting Emmie, the owner. I get the impression from seeing Emmie's interactions with all the people there, being treated like family or a long time friend is how everyone is treated. I'm not sure any one of the servers is better than another, because it's hard to top awesome. Our server was Mahkinzey and she was absolutely incredible. OMGoodness, I almost forgot. I need to add an additional five stars, for a total of a 20 star review. Mama Henry's (Emmie's) homemade ice cream is the hands down best. And that is coming from an ice cream connoisseur. I had the coconut banana and it was to die for. So many other flavors. I'm glad my wife talked me into getting something other than a safe flavor like vanilla. I am excited to try all the flavors. My wife had one of the best cheeseburgers ever and potato salad. I had a slow cooked pot roast with mashed potatoes and a side of cole slaw. Everything was off the charts perfect. One note about the slaw... it was so mild and fresh that you had that mild sweetness present, but could taste each veggie in the mix and experience the texture. Emmie's "Mama Henry's" is not just a restaurant or a cafe, it is an experience. You can see, smell, taste, feel and hear the love that is Mama Henry's. If you're anywhere within driving distance of West Columbia, South Carolina, do yourself a favor and stop in. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!! We have found a new fav place to eat.

This place is honestly a bit too expensive. Considering my wife and I shared a main course with one appetizer (wing chips), the price was still almost $40. We both ordered soft drinks and no dessert. There was a ridiculous extra charge because we shared the main course (spaghetti plate). The waitress, Mason, seemed offended that I inquired about the extra charge. She avoided our table unless absolutely necessary.There was also an extra charge for our appetizer for some reason, but by the time I got the check, I would've rather left than ask.The sides (okra and grilled squash) were good, as well as the wing chips. The main course was low effort, heavy on the oregano and canned stewed tomatoes. The toast was greasy but decent.Be prepared to pay too much for mediocre food and service if you eat here.

My family of three visited Mama Henry's on a Friday night around 5pm. The restaurant is very unassuming and almost looks like a home where it sits. If not for the outlined parking spots, you could easily miss that it's a restaurant rather than a home. When entering the restaurant, it's not immediately clear where to go. We were momentarily confused until one of the ladies sitting at a nearby table stood to greet us. After being seated, our waitress introduced herself quickly and took our drink and appetizer order. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip. They do have a kids menu, but no milk or juice options are available - just a heads up! My family ordered the kids spaghetti, roast beef dinner (side of mashed potatoes and hush puppies), and the chicken Charlie (side salad and Mac and cheese). We were not impressed with our appetizer. The menu advertises that the chips are made in house, but they certainly don't taste that way. The spinach and artichoke dip seemed microwaved; it was hot on top, but everything underneath was lukewarm. It was also overly cheesy. My son loved the spaghetti and said to give it "20 out of 5" on my review. I felt it could have done with a piece of garlic bread or a meatball. He was still hungry, but luckily for him I had some extra food from my plate. My husband ordered the roast beef dinner and it was delicious. The menu advertises that the roast beef is cooked for 17 hours. It was very tender and the gravy that it was served and was delicious. The mashed potatoes were also good. We all tried the roast beef from my husband's plate and all thought it was very good. I ordered the chicken Charlie and much to my disappointment, it's a thin chicken breast that is breaded and then covered with the spinach and artichoke dip that I did not care for. The chicken seemed like it was maybe fried in oil that was old. It had a taste that was a bit off. It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't good. I would not order the chicken Charlie again. The mac and cheese was okay but could use some seasoning. My son enjoyed it. We all liked the hush puppies and shared them. The total for our bill was $58 before the tip. It included drinks, one appetizer, two adult entrees, and one kids meal. We would likely return, but I would definitely order something else next time.
