Our friends ordered a small onion ring for the table to start. I must say they were great. The onion did not pull out at all from the batter. Very hot and probably among the best I've had. I ordered the Mama Henry Burger with no tomato and crispy wing chips. My wife ordered the Philly Cheese Steak and Tots while our friends ordered the Fried Chicken sandwich with crispy wing chips and the Club Sandwich with Medium wing Chips. We all agreed that the wing chips were some of the best we've had. Perfectly done. My burger was very good. Fresh lettuced, red onion, cheddar cheese/bacon and on a nice bun. I'd order it again! My wife's Philly cheese steak was also very good. We all liked the meal. We had to ask about the home made ice cream. I'd been here once before and had a hard time believing they really make their ice cream here at the restaurant. They had (I think) 18 flavors. The waitress brought three of us a couple of small spoon samples to try out the flavors. We ended up each getting a scoop in a small bowl and it was excellent. I don't think I can resist not getting the ice cream when I go back here. And she did confirm that Mama Henry does make the ice cream at the restaurant. We were all pleased with everything! Great service, food and atmosphere. Definitely will go back.

Mama Henry's Restaurant - A great find!…read more Our ROMEO group of nine went to Mama Henry's today for the first time. None of us had ever been here before--or, for that matter, even heard of it. Since last week was our 200th restaurant we've visited, which we celebrated at Hall's, I figured we'd go in the opposite direction for today's luncheon and try a good old-fashioned local home-cooking establishment. I had seen a review of Mama Henry's a couple of weeks ago, and it piqued my interest. We arrived around 11:15, and our waitress, Mahkinzey, set us up in the back area by pulling several tables together. She took our drink orders and gave us some recommendations. When asked what she would recommend, she said the 16-hour pot roast was great, along with all of the burgers. She also recommended the catfish Po'Boy and another dish, and then told us to check out their homemade ice cream. Of course, we never order dessert at lunch! The menu is extensive, and we had quite an assortment of orders: two roast beef dinners with mashed potatoes and vegetables, two open-faced roast beef sandwiches, two different types of hot dogs, a Philly cheesesteak, a club sandwich, and a Mama Henry Burger with some great home fries. There was plenty of conversation about how great the menu looked, along with some discussion about what a trip it was to get here from Northeast Columbia. But just like last week... when the food was brought to the table, the talking stopped and the eating began! Mahkinzey was an excellent waitress. She brought extra ice for the iced tea, kept an eye on our table, and did a great job keeping everyone's drinks filled. When we finished our meals, she brought out the extensive list of homemade ice cream flavors and told us we could sample them. Now picture this: nine ROMEO guys who NEVER order dessert suddenly piling up around the front ice cream counter. We were checking out the flavors like kids at the ice cream shop. One member announced, "I just can't order the ice cream." He had worked out that morning and apparently still had some willpower left. He watched as eight of us returned to the table with a scoop of ice cream. Between us, we had sampled about five different flavors. The comments started flying about how good the ice cream was. Well, apparently the peer pressure--or perhaps the ice cream--was too much. Our workout-conscious ROMEO finally stepped up his game, went back to the counter, and ordered a scoop himself...He didn't regret it When it was time for the official ROMEO rating, and we already knew this one was going to be good. What we didn't expect was just how good. Mama Henry's received a 9.71 out of 10, which tied the rating we gave Hall's just one week ago for our 200th restaurant celebration. Not too shabby! This is the highest rating we've given any restaurant before (tied with Hall's) But here's the kicker: Mama Henry's cost us about half of what we paid at Hall's--and that included ice cream! For a group that visits a different restaurant almost every Tuesday, finding a place this good that none of us had even heard of is a pretty special discovery. Mama Henry's is a true hidden gem, and apparently, a place where ROMEO can be persuaded to eat dessert.

9 ROMEO members ventured out to First Watch today, and for many of us it was our first visit. We…read morequickly discovered that First Watch doesn't believe in a shortage of choices. The extensive menu made deciding what to eat almost as difficult as deciding where to go for lunch! Our group sampled quite a variety of the menu, including three Bacon Maple Croissant sandwiches, three tacos, a Pecan Chicken Salad, two different orders of pancakes, and a bowl featuring barbacoa beef, chips and eggs. Our waitress, Meleva, did a great job handling our party of nine. She managed to put together a table for us and squeeze us in so we could get started. Fortunately, the table next to us emptied about 20 minutes later, so our temporary seating arrangement worked out just fine. There was one order that got messed up, but that one really can't be blamed on the waitress. There was a little miscommunication while we were trying to figure out what I wanted. She moved on to someone else, and when she came back around, I had completely changed my mind and ordered something entirely different! So, in this case, we'll give the waitress a pass. The Food Overall, the food was good, with ratings ranging from a 7.0 to a 9.5 on the ROMEO scale. The Pecan Chicken Salad received particularly high marks. The average ROMEO rating was 8.05, which translates to approximately 4 stars on the Yelp scale. Personally, I wasn't especially impressed with my Bacon Maple Egg sandwich. The egg itself was very good--fluffy and covered with cheese. The bacon was good, there were some nice hot jalapeños, and the croissant was decent. Then came the maple syrup. I like maple syrup as much as the next guy, but putting it on a croissant sandwich just didn't work for me. In my humble opinion, maple syrup belongs on waffles or pancakes--not in a breakfast sandwich! The maple flavor just seemed to take the sandwich downhill. ROMEO Verdict Food: 8.05 / 10 Service: Very Good Menu Selection: Extensive! ROMEO Rating Range: 7.0 - 9.5 Yelp Equivalent: 4 Stars
