This place has become a tradition for me. First with my grandma and now with my husband. We enjoy coming here for breakfast when we are in the area. The food and service is always good and it feels like you're stepping back into time with the seating and wallpaper. It's comfortable. I highly recommend to anyone to come here for breakfast or lunch if you want - though I never did lunch, it does look good too. read more

Ive never really been much of a breakfast person until I had Henry's breakfast. At one point I was so obsessed I was going every morning , then I moved but whenever I'm in area it's a must I stop by All the ladies who work there are so sweet , they make you feel like you're family. Mr Joe the owner is there most of the time, always greets everyone and is very polite. Nostalgic eatery, brings you back to the 60's. I love the old photos they have of glen cove and all the collectibles. Also Henry's makes their own chocolate , ice cream and beautiful chocolate gifts baskets during holidays. I once got my nieces and nephews some chocolate bunnies for Easter and let's just say I brought the coolest gifts On to the food, I don't know what kind of eggs Henry's uses but I love them. I do not generally enjoy eggs I'm very picky about them and these just taste so amazing . The French toast is another favorite as well I've never been there for lunch so I can't say but I'm sure it's just as good ! Very reasonable as well. The only downside is that if it gets very busy and they get a rush of people, service gets a bit slow . Still worth it in my book , I just don't go if I'm in a hurry . read more

Food was fine, service needs help. Luckily a customer saw my hand raised and told the waitress I needed something. I wanted a refill of my first cup of coffee. Unusual for a coffee shop luncheonette not to be on top of this. Thank you customer. Hicksville luncheonette and sweet shop Is the place to be. read more

Weekend brunch with friends here...service and food were good. Parking - there isn't much street parking available, but park in the free downtown lot which makes it convenient. One of the very few diners that have the original look and feel. Menu has something for everyone....breakfast is served all day. Had omelettes and eggs for brunch the times I was here. Hash browns and toast were good as well. They do have jam, just ask for it. Food is filling... they do have dessert too...just have to make room for it! Didn't encounter long waits for a table which was good as it can get busy. Great location and convenient when in the area... read more

This is our go-to breakfast spot on our free weekends. We usually get a spread of bacon, toast, eggs & chocolate chip pancakes, which are all delicious. It is more than enough for both of us to share. The waitresses are always so pleasant and friendly. We decided to take out from here for Dad's birthday breakfast & it was a huge hit! Order was ready when we were told it would be & everyone was helpful & amazing as usual. read more

This place has been around for many years. I took my daughter here and always enjoyed the food. It's been a while since I been back. I ordered the the quick 2 eggs breakfast with with turkey bacon and toast. They did not have the turkey bacon available so they substituted for turkey meat which was ok but not the greatest. Coffee was a slam dunk. I gave it only 4 stars for not having what I wanted. Do recommend the place. The employees are very pleasant. read more

Huge portions, friendly service and yummy food. Went to brunch with my toddler and I couldn't believe the portion sizes and value for your money. It looks like an old time ice cream diner with antique coca-cola trinkets and barstools and booths. I will definitely be returning! read more

Omg I've had this place saved for years. I remember when it was I think cash only at some point hence why we didn't come. I think I can't be sure lol. Anyway while in the area I automatically thought of this place, plus saw took credit cards so yay. Seriously the best breakfast ever. I have now 2 favorite breakfast places on long island. My son loved his breakfast too I've never seen him chow down on pancakes like that. Anyway I cannot wait to come back here one day. I can't believe what I'd been missing out on all these years. read more

Henry's Confectionary - So good - Diners Near Me - Glen Cove, New York

Diner. You know what you're going to experience. Prices super reasonable to this SFBA-pilled brain. Cute chocolate confections, especially around Christmas. Get some hash and eggs and a side of bacon. Really, anything. I just like breakfast. Enjoy old school booths. read more

Soft yes. The food is good, the staff is great, but it takes forever to get the food. FOREVER. Like 45 minutes for a tuna melt. I didn't even order anything hot! read more

The best kind of greasy spoon! The food is always delicious, but don't come here counting calories. Things like French toast or omelette that you thought you knew are somehow even tastier here than you remember. Maybe it's love or maybe it's a closely guarded culinary secret, either way this place never disappoints. The staff is always friendly and always treats my kids like they're family. (The kind you like to see). The decor is that of an old school diner of years forgotten. A simpler time when gathering for a meal and discussing the day didn't require 5G. read more

The best quick lunch on Long Island - great food great prices. The ambiance is incredible - they could shoot movies here it's so authentic.

I'm very sad to have to write this review but I must warn others about what they may be in for... I grew up in this city. Henry's has been here a looong time. So when I had the chance to visit with my elderly mother and my daughter, I wanted to add to the feeling of "home" by going back to Henry's. Parking is 2 hours on Main Street out front. Luckily we grabbed a spot across the street. Walked in and there was no greeting by a human, just a sign that said "wait here to be seated". An older woman yelled to us from a table she was serving, to sit in a booth up front. We sat and another woman put down napkins, menus and silverware. The menu was filled with the same pub fare I remember. Burgers, sandwiches and breakfast. It was a Monday around noon so the tables were mostly filled with an older lunch crowd. The waitress who yelled at us to sit, came over to take our drink order and looked so miserable that I told her to smile. :-) Her response was that she "was done with this place". Then she yelled at a young gentleman walking by and said "don't worry, that's my son". I am super laid back and these types of things don't usually bother me but it definitely set up the tone for the rest of the meal. Breakfast was ordered by all because "soup wasn't ready" and "we don't have mozzarella sticks right now". It took about 30 minutes to receive our order. Which is fine, as we were reminiscing about being there long ago. French toast, egg white omlettes and Strawberry shortcake pancakes. Hash browns came with the eggs even though I asked if they had non frozen homefries. I was told yes, but got frozen hash browns anyway. Whole wheat toast was also ordered with one of the omlettes and we got overly buttered white toast. The French toast was the only dish that was half way decent. Why? Because every single thing was covered in BUTTER and SALT. Except the pancakes...they were drowning in some hot, overly sweet fake Strawberry sauce. I have never seen steaming hot strawberries (that come out of a jar for ice cream topping), smothering pancakes before. Yes, at IHOP, as a small topping. This was not the case. It was an obnoxious amount, boiling hot. My child was like what is this mess? The waitress offered her whipped cream, which was also an obscene amount. The Strawberry sauce was so hot that the whipped cream just slid right off. And guess what was underneath? Drenched through pancakes that my child had 2 bites of and pushed away. She refused to let me send it back so in the garbage it went. She has never NOT eaten pancakes before. The veggie omlette was ok. The cheese omlette was so salty that it was also almost inedible. The hashbrowns were crunchy and burnt in some spots. Not appetizing at all. I asked a different waitress, who was literally dripping with sweat, if we could have the correct toast sent to the table. 20 minutes later and it was sent to another table. She put it back on the counter and I had to let her know that it belonged to us. No jelly on the table so we had to get up and ask for that too. As the jelly was being spread on to the toast, bright green mold was spotted. I immediately called over the miserable waitress who apologized and ran back to scold her husband who is also the cook. He was back there by himself, which explains the wait but that's no excuse for moldy bread and extreme over-use of these other ingredients. We were never checked on or offered drink refills or even coffee. It's very obvious, from the empty chocolate cases to the lack of service, to the unprofessionalism and not caring about the customers or the food presented...that this one time great nostalgic gem in Glen Cove has had it's day. It's a shame. Lastly, I love supporting small businesses and the families that work very hard to stay afloat in these hard economic times. But we work equally as hard to be able to pay for a decent meal when we go out, especially on a special occasion. Hence this review. If you are that miserable, please let someone else take over and bring it back to it's original glory. One star for keeping it original and one star for the French toast. (See pics). read more

Food Is Great Ambiance is nostalgic but wait is ridiculous. I am aware of slow service but today was worst I ever experienced sadly. Over an Hour and food wasn't even cooked yet. Def Need a patience Csp read more

Fries that's not fully cooked. Ordered rare, but they brought hard old meat that's well done. Smelled bad so I can tell the meat is slightly old but not rotten This is the second time they did this I personally will never go again. If my parents want to, sure why not. They can thank me for being very kind about this The third time, I will take the order straight to the health inspector I personally know with the receipt. Used to be good, now they're horrible read more

A trip to Henry's is almost always a delight. I say "almost" because the food can be somewhat inconsistent depending on the day. On a good day, the french toast here is pretty much the holy grail of french toast. It's delicious in a no-frills sort of way - just buttery, custardy bliss with a dash of cinnamon. No extra stuffing or toppings to make it particularly Instagram-worthy, but amazing *because* it's so simple. Also on a good day, the breakfast burrito is a wonderful pocket of savory breakfast goodness, packed with their home fries, peppers, onions, sausage, and cheese. Each bite is near perfection, and the slight greasiness of it all falls more in the guilty pleasure realm rather than clog-your-arteries land. (I've tried a number of other things on the menu, but these two are by far my favorites.) But on a bad day, the food here is just alright. The french toast can be a little dry or lacking in flavor. The breakfast burrito can be skimpy on any number of its usual components. (At my most recent visit, I picked up a very uncheesy burrito which disappointedly lacked in texture and flavor.) All in all, Henry's is a great diner. The food is good (for the most part), the decor is nostalgic, and they even make their own Easter chocolate! I really just wish they were more consistent. read more

My wife and I have gone to Henry's for decades and have always had a great meal. After the COVID scare, we went back to Henry's and found it was still excellent food and service. We know the waiters and waitresses, so it's like dining with friends and family. We are always seeing our friends at Henry's. Just the other day, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast. My wife had Belgium waffles and I had a Swiss cheese and bacon omelette. The friendly atmosphere makes our experience very enjoyable. Even though it was busy on Sunday, everyone treated us like we were the only people there. It's always a positive experience! I would strongly recommend Henry's restaurant for breakfast and/or lunch. Oh, if it's around Easter Henry's has the best chocolate bunnies in the area. Henry's always pleased and never disappoints. If you're in Glen Cove, NY, please stop in for great food and exceptional service! Enjoy! read more

Cute vintage diner with homemade ice cream and typical diner food such as breakfasts and various lunch sandwiches. I had never been there and since it's been in that area 90 years I wanted to try it since I was in the area. It's a real neighborhood type place. The food is average and was good for a quick brunch. Today was too cold for me to try the homemade ice cream, otherwise I definitely would have. read more

Step back into a different time and era with this quaint shop. Parking is a little challenge on any Main Street but possible. Quick table assistance and the booths were filled. The counter was empty but a nice pic. Waitress was quick to take our orders but the chef must have lost some helpers as the food a long time to come out. Food was fine. No issues. Prices seemed fair but the wait for the waitress to get us our check and cashier to pay it resulted in a reduced rating. Check them out but be prepared to wait awhile . read more

Nothing special, kind of old inside, waited nearly 30 mins for omelette with bad bacon. Pretty dreary.

Love the old diner atmosphere, plus the food is great. Highly recommend their omelettes.

An old school breakfast/lunch neighborhood staple. The interior is still reminiscent of an 1950's soda shop and the long counter in the front reminds of the counters I once sat at in our local Woolworth's restaurant... Food is solid diner fare. If their is a rush of people, service is a bit spotty, we actually got up a couple of times to get things from the counter because our waitress was MIA... but still didn't deter us from enjoying our meal. Liked that most of the tables were filled with families who either lived in the area or lived closed enough to make this spot a regular haunt on the weekends. We will be back for sure. read more

Be prepared to wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait for your food. The service is really lacking, the food is basic at best and they are frequently out of menu items. The people that work here never seem happy but I guess that's post Covid..who knows anymore. A word of advice to the owner. Check in with your manager or sell this establishment to someone who cares! read more

Come one, come all! It took me years to discover this lovely, cozy diner, but once I did, there's been no turning back. The charmingly diverse staff, and piping hot eggs (any style) and perfect toast are actually the best in town. Come for the scrambled, stay for the omelettes! read more

Throwback to the 60's diner with consistently great food and great atmosphere. Staff is hardworking and sweet!

Very good food. Excellent service. It feels like you are stepping back in time. Solid diner. The French Toast is to die for, and the omelettes are very good also. Prices are more reasonable than a lot of similar places in the area. read more

Best food I have ever tasted!!! They have a very friendly staff and they're food leaves me sad when I'm not eating it.

Diner Although this place bills itself as a sweet shop, it is more correctly a diner / luncheonette. I finally got around to getting in there and it is set up like an old time diner - a long counter with stools and ice cream and such and then booths and tables around the rest of the place. The food was very good- I think I had one of the best western omelets there. The help is a little pokey. They apparently like to talk. Talk amongst themselves being the chief hobby, talk to the kitchen guys, talk to the one guy at the counter and then they seemingly remember there are customers and then there is a flurry of activity - then back to talking. Prices are average and if the service was a bit more attentive then they would have another star. Parking on the street. read more

OMG - belgian waffles with banana ice cream (yes a little whipped cream and maple side - but just a little) - Don't like banana ice cream? Me either.. but I LOVE this banana ice cream - so now you have to go try it on a waffle here. It is in an old diner on one of many village streets filled with stores.. put it in to the GPS. read more

Service was a little slow but I was really impressed with my breakfast and absolutely loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. I order an omelet with french fries on the side, which was a huge mistake, because the home fries are absolutely amazing. I really liked this place, and that's coming from someone who is really into the "all-american diner" thing. read more

Pro: This is a fantastic gem in the city of Glen Cove. It is a landmark diner. Henry's Housemade Ice Cream is the best in town. The best sundaes and milkshakes! If you are looking for an all american classic diner, this hits the mark right on the nose. Con: Their menu has not seen a revision since they opened up shop way back when. They could really use a spruce up to bring them some relevance in the new found vintage culture. Mixed greens and working on food presentations would hurt them none. A brunch specific menu on the weekends would be lovely. (They could also use on replacing that disgusting urinal deodorant tab with something that doesn't permeate after replacement.) read more

Poor service, dated and not maintained decor, food lacking. I don't recommend this place.

I've been to Henry's before and overall had a great experience. This time, I came with a group for breakfast on the weekend, and unfortunately, the food left a lot to be desired. That said, our coffees were constantly refilled and the waitress was very friendly. While it was clearly a busy morning and it's understandable that as a result the waitresses were overwhelmed, we waited almost half an hour for our food - most of which was incorrectly cooked. We were missing a dish (that we luckily didn't get charged for), and out of the dishes that did come, half came out incorrectly, either with an extra ingredient or without one that was requested. (After seeing the bill, we noticed the waitress did at least write it down correctly.) The home fries were very undercooked and flavorless, the omelettes looked like a pile of vegetables with a side of egg (there was barely any egg), and the bacon was sadly wilted. It may have just been an off morning for Henry's, but I'd recommend coming earlier before the typical morning rush or just going for breakfast elsewhere. read more
