It’s a small space so take out only. The staff were kind and the food was delicious. I got BBQ chicken, macaroni and cheese, corn, cornbread and peach cobbler. The chicken, oh it was so tender and just melted off the bone. The macaroni and cheese was the best I’ve personally ever had. The cobbler and cornbread(more grainy texture and sweet) were super tasty as well. I wasn’t interested in the corn but it was cooked well. Overall 10/10 and I wish I lived closer.
Excellent food, not greasy, tasty , nice portion size. Nice variety, truly good ole fashioned soul food; nice price points Each time I got to dc- I head right over and take som back down the road- too ; this pic does not do this justice ; we have the whiting, meatloaf ribs , cabbage greens , sweet potatoes , sweet potato pie, cake and my goodness the cornbread 🍀
Google maps highlighted this restaurant nearby my hotel. Of course I want some delicious soul food while in DC. Meals were totally worth the walk. The whiting was fried perfectly. The meatloaf was moist and tasty. The sides were delicious!! Best part were the portions!! Plenty food for at least 2 meals for me. Staff were kind. They apologized for the wait but honestly the meals (3) took less than 10 minutes from ordering to receive. Best soul food I've had outside of the south. Def recommend!
We love the food at Henry’s and asked them to do a catered buffet for our casual wedding. The food was delicious, they were easy to work with, and the servers they sent were lovely and did a great job. MANY people told us that it was the best meal they’d ever been served at a wedding. We’re so pleased with our choice to use Henry’s and would highly recommend their catering service!
Found this place through a search for soul food. I went with three friends hoping to have a nice, sit-down lunch, but we were disappointed to find this is a takeout shop. The cashier, however, immediately spotted our predicament and had someone from the kitchen take 4 chairs and two tables outside so that we could enjoy a sit-down outdoor meal. We ordered the steak sub, the 8-piece fried chicken box, the BBQ ribs, and the sliced turkey with a side of collard greens and mac and cheese. We also ordered 3 peach cobblers and 1 sweet potato pie. Total bill around $70.
The food in general was very good, and the portions were enormous. Only issues were the collard greens and mac and cheese were pretty salty, although my friend liked the salt in the collard greens. The mac and cheese was also a little dry and crumbly, and I like mine dripping with cheese. Peach cobbler was outstanding, as was the sweet potato pie.
The food was absolutely awesome! The plan for my DC trip was to try several restaurants. Chose this place as the first stop and it was the main place we ate from. We even stopped before heading home for plates to go. Everything we had: Turkey wings, cornbread stuffing, pork chops, fried chicken, mac n' cheese, collards, cabbage, banana pudding was delicious. They didn't skimp on the serving sizes either. My only complaint was the last time they didn't have enough stuffing for a side order. This place will be a staple for me when I am in the DC area.
Delicious! I enjoyed the food here. The amount of food they gave was enough for 2 people! ❤️
A legit Soul Food Cafe. This little hole in the wall has been there forever and the food is glorious. Everything you want from comfort food. Portions are huge, delicious and fresh. The fried chicken was on point. The mac & cheese was perfection (and I'm not a big mac & cheese fan). You should absolutely get an order here... but bring friends, these servings are enormous.
Amazing food very much worth a visit. Stopped in on my lunch break and they made easily the greatest steak and cheese I’ve ever had in my life. The workers there will treat you well if you’re cool with them but please be patient.They’re working hard back there and don’t have time to get yelled at. Don’t expect good service if you’re a bad customer.
This is how food is supposed to taste. The atmosphere isn't important. This place takes me back to the little mom and pop restaurants black folks used to have in every neighborhood in the 70's. And you know what? Those places always had the best food.
My partner and I have had the darndest time getting truly good and affordable Southern food here in DC. We're happy to report that Henry's lives up to their reputation as reliable purveyors of tasty and authentic soul food!
This establishment is take-out only so it is important to plan a way to eat it quickly (steam =/= good fried chicken and mac) or refresh it in the oven for a bit once you get home.
NOTE: The collard greens are extra salty and don't have ham in them...
So delicious!!! Anything you order you will enjoy. Fried fish, pork chops or chicken is all good!! The peach cobbler and sweet potato pie were sweeeeet and tasty
Got a whole feast for 2 people under $40. Everything was so good. Best sweet potato pie I've ever had.
Excellent food I live In Florida every time I’m in DC I must Go to Henry’s. Thanks 🙏 to the staff and especially the Cook that found me some dressing Friday evening. See you when I get back. can you ship me some of that turkey wings and dressing you? Lol 😂

I love love love DCS Henry's I don't care for the one in MD LIKE THAT but this one here. That catfish dinner never disappoints, then the baked chicken is truly to die for their stuffing is superb 💯💯💯💯and you know the Mac is bussing and the collards
Henry’s took me back home to Mississippi!! Been living in PA for 20+years and it’s hard to find authentic soul food restaurants in the area we live so when we are going out of state or town we always look for good soul food and while in DC Henry’s didn’t disappoint,the food was cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of seasoning!!
Absolutely delicious! Mac n cheese was amazing. Greens had more thick stems than I like but were very flavorful. Sweet potatoes were heavenly. There are a few counter seats but plan on leaving with your food. I did buy a slice of their famous sweet potato pie but was way too full to eat it after my meal. Very affordable meal and much better than I expected.
