Stopped in at Henry's Diner on Saturday morning December 6. Such a sweet place. The breakfast - Eggs and Pancakes and coffee were cooked perfectly. I drove 40 miles from Rumford RI and preferred to support family diners. Service, food and kindness makes Henry's Diner my choice in Connecticut. Will be back! Thank you Tammy you own and manage a sweet diner pleasure to meet you! God Bless!!! read more

I returned to Henry's after getting Fish and chips one night and loving them. Tonight upon my return my food was horrible, the fish was barely battered and flaky, fries soggy, the steak and cheese was ok but very pricey. My son got the tender dinner he said wasn't bad but $17 for the small amount he received was crazy! Not sure I will return in the future. Not to mention the waitress who was more worried about joking around with her friends than cashing me out, then proceeded to tell me to watch out so she could throw a pen to the other waitress. read more

To be fair on my 3-star food rating, this is a case of "coulda woulda shoulda." First, I love diners and I believe this is a very good one. Second, i waffled over whether to get breakfast or lunch (pun intended). Third, I am a picky eater. Having said that, I decided on breakfast and got French toast. I used to dislike French toast because everyone makes it soggy and eggy. I whip the ingredients, add cinnamon, and dunk the bread quickly. I also air fry it for slight crispness. So it is unfair for me to hold Henry's to my standard. Soooo... the French toast was soggy, eggy, and rather bland tasting. The potatoes and bacon were cooked perfectly and delicious. What I "coulda, woulda, shoulda" gotten was a burger and fries. I saw someone else's. The burger looked tasty and had a big pile of fries. Please do not take this as a negative. I just didn't like the French toast but you may love it. I definitely need to go back for the burger! Service was friendly and quick and the place was busy on a Thursday morning @ 11:15. read more

Good value. Lots of friendliness. Food was tasty. Portions were just right and they kept the coffee flowing.

A three is all I could give if even! When you read the low star reviews I can honestly say they are not lying. Went once for breakfast and it was awesome. Went for breakfast today and after noon no more breakfast just lunch . Took almost an hour to get a mediocre hamburger, a wiener and some onion rings. Short order cooks moved at a snails pace while talking on the phone. I watched food sit on the counter for 10 mins with no warmers before being brought to the table, and it was slow! I can't ever fathom this place full to capacity with the weak skilled staffing. The restaurant needs air purifiers due to the burnt food on the grill or in back room. I actually got a sick headache from the grease atmosphere. People closer to door actually had fresh air so they didn't have my experience. Overall I won't be back... way too many fantastic places in that area. It's average diner food that will cost you 20 bucks for a bacon burger with fries. Hope they read a real review. read more

My wife and I ordered two large grinders. When I went to pay, I was apoled. They charged me $38.80. The most I have ever paid for a large grinder...I don't know how the owner sleeps at night! Definitely not worth the money! read more

Love the food, love the ambiance and love the service. Burgers are great, the handcut crispy fries are better than all the chains. You can't go wrong with the Weiners, my girlfriend loves Henry's Weiners, she always has two Weiners when we stop in there. read more

Went to Henry's for my birthday lunch 10/30. Got there 11:30 thinking, "great, we're here before the rush." Even at noon, there was no rush and we waited 40 minutes for our food! For the most part, there were only 2 tables and 1 person at the counter. The guy at the counter came after us and got his food way before us. (can tell he's a regular how he and the cook chatted) I asked the waitress to check on our food. She mentioned 2 other people just walked out. Food was okay. But $55 for 3 people for lunch at a diner is high. The cook is in no hurry to get the food out. One of our meals was luke warm while the others were steaming hot. read more

What a delightful energy! With the Variety of a New York Diner, I asked our amazing & beautiful server, Kim to have the chef create for us. The fish taco's (cod, lightly battered but nice-crunch) gets 5-starts! Colin the chef takes his creative side seriously, always looking for "ways to improve." Check this out read more

Drove an hour because it looked like a cute diner. Prices seemed good, service was excellent. Friendly neighborhood spot. Food was not so good. I got fried wholebelly clams. Over fried, few belly's, greasy old oil taste. Same with fries. Hubby got veal parm sandwich. It was real meat but soft supermarket style roll and awful tomato sauce, over seasoned with sugar and oregano. read more

A small diner I stopped in while visiting the town. Great prices that were very affordable. I ordered the clam chowder soup and it came out very quickly. The biscuits were so warm, fluffy, and fresh and taste SO good when dipped into the soup. Service and staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Only issue was that it can get really hot in there without any A/C so be careful if you're ordering warm food. Decorations were nice and I liked the casual atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

Got take-out. The food was just alright. In addition, the one cook I saw was not wearing a mask, though. (Seemed to be the only cook there.) Why just the server? Not good. Will not go again until this pandemic is over. (And just because we have fewer cases across the country does not mean it is over, FYI...) I'll consider changing my rating once things are back to normal...or closer to it. read more

Within walking distance of our new house is the gem of a diner. We have both been several times, and it has not disappointed us yet. Food is cooked fresh and prepared with care. The staff is friendly and very attentive. Prices are good, too. read more

Covid who? Nobody acts like there's a some thing running around the air with wings, teeth, big red eyes. Just waiting to pounce on you. Not in the strong town of Putnam. Not at Henry's. Sure we pick up the mask because of the cowardly order from the governor. But do we treat our customers like the plague of the dark ages. Hell Nah. No virus can survive the Extreme love and aroma of food Henry's can dish out. Ima 3 time visitor 1 time here amid the very weak Pan-demonic jokes on us time we live in. But watch out mr. Covid. (mr. Gates) Connecticut loves their guns. it will be a shame if you try to pry it out of their live hands... read more

Gave it a second chance, seeing that it wasn't packed. Was greeted and waitress took coffee orders. After 5 minutes she returned and took our breakfast order. Both of us ordered eggs over easy, meat, hash browns and toast. Order came to the table in 10 minutes. First thing we noticed was on both plates, one of the yolks broke and ran all over. Sorry, but I'll break them myself, and don't need help, lol. Just a little detail that ruins it. Toast was not cold, bacon was semi crisp, sausage was fried a little too much to the point of black. Hash browns did have a different taste, which means that other than standard spice was used. Service was good this time. IMHO, the check was a little on the high side, compared to the other diners in town. Nothing special here, just a typical small town spot. 50-50 chance we would come back. Always went by and it always seemed busy. We decided to try it on a Sunday morning at 7:45 am. A couple of empty tables so we grab one. Sat down for almost 3 minutes till acknowledged. One waitress was shooting the breeze with a table next to us. Didn't even look up. A waitress finally came by and said she'll be right back. After watching her at the counter hanging round for another 3 minutes we left. Maybe we'll try again. Maybe not. read more

Henry's has been on my list to visit and I finally got there with a friend. What a great place! The service was great and the food was excellent! Will recommend to all my friends. read more

Don't go there on a Sunday for breakfast!! Ordered 4 pancakes waited almost a hour!! This sucks!!

Waited 45+ mins til a waitress even came over to take our order!! By far the worst service I've ever experienced at this establishment. Finally after 50 mins the drink girl broke down and took my parties order. Apparently only one waitress on duty, which is ridiculous. Fact is service here goes down hill when the owner isn't here. read more

Yep, That's right. Went straight from Nikki's to Henry's and ordered three more coneys with an order of French fries and was eating in under 10 minutes.. Just for clarification I went with my son in law and a grandchild so my fellow Yelpers don't think I'm a pig. BTW, The coneys at Henry's are far better and I can't wait for their sidewalk hot dog cart to open this summer. Cheers read more

Food was excellent. Great service with that 50's diner feel. I'm not picky per say, but selective. I'd eat here again

Classic diner breakfasts but prepared so well. The pancakes are AMAZING and so are the eggs benedict. I will say this place gets VERY popular and busy on the weekends; get there early so you don't have to wait. Service has always been fast and friendly here; one of the things I love best about visiting is the "small town diner" feel about this place. read more

We were visiting in the area and gave this place a try on a Saturday morning. My son and his girlfriend go to school locally and regularly eat here. We were seated quickly and the waitress took our order promptly. She answered my wife's questions on the omelette ingredients and potatoes (she's gluten free). Food was very good. Many coffee refills. Prices were excellent. An overall great value for breakfast. read more

Love Henry's Diner! Always have a great meal there. My favorites (as you can't just have one) are 1. Buffalo chicken Quesadilla 2. Chicken Pot Pie 3. Anything on the breakfast menu. Always look forward to the friendly faces, delicious food, awesome service and great prices! read more

My friend and I like going here for breakfast. They are friendly and easy going. The omelettes are delicious, and the prices are good. I have special dietary issues and they are accommodating. I read the 1 star review where the people didn't get service quickly. I have never had that experience eating there multiple times. Usually there are several people checking in to make sure all is wonderful. read more

Really enjoyed dinner there last night with my son. He had the fish and chips and I had a burger and grilled cheese with fries. We both had garlic knots. We are later in the day so not a lot of folks in the restaurant. The garlic knots were freshly done and exquisite. I didn't expect them to be so good in a diner but they were awesome. The fries were really good diner fries and my son enjoyed the fish and chips. Great service and reasonably priced yummy food. We will be back. read more

The food was very good. If it wasn't for the hour wait for food and sauna level heat in the diner would rate higher. I Lost ten pounds sweating. Waitress seemed unconcerned that the food has not arrived within an hour... read more

Great food. Great service. What more can tou ask for? I see great things coming there way in the future.

Go to Henry's. For breakfast. For lunch. Or dinner. It ain't fancy. It's good. It's clean. It's affordable. If you are looking for eat-in (or take-out) please consider Henry's. Great grinders and lunch food, ditto on breakfast and their pizza specials. A neighborhood gem. Parking can be tight, but walk a little bit. You will be glad you did. read more
