After having a daughter at UVM, we finally made it to Henry's diner. Loved reading about the history of it and how the original building was brought from Bayonne NJ to Burlington. I am originally from NJ, the land of diners, so I couldn't wait to try this one. The interior had a vibe of diners gone by and I loved it. Our server was sweet and attentive. Food was good and came out nice and hot. My husband had an egg/breakfast dish and I had a good ole burger. Yum! read more

There was a waiting line for this small place, but at 10 am, it moved right along. Very friendly staff and fast refills on the coffee. I ordered the meat lover's skillet, and I joked it should be called a potato lover's skillet. Will try the regular meat on the side next time as those portions seemed very generous. read more

I came here after little sightseeing & such & opted for a brunch (you might say) & opted for an egg over hard, home fries, biscuit & sausage patties & definitely worth it (oh before I forget coffee as well). Music in place was unique with do-op, British Invasion, disco etc but it all worked out well in my book & service was on point & definitely I see why the people (whether locals/tourists) get referred here. read more

After a long travel trip (delayed flights were insane), we woke up with an appetite! This diner was a wonderful surprise - cozy and welcoming - you feel as if you walked into a family member's home. Our meals were scrumptious... included fresh brewed coffee! Shoutout to Kaitlyn, who took care of us! She is friendly, attentive, and polite! read more

Classic diner fare and atmosphere. Expect a long wait on the weekends (sometimes over an hour during peak times), and even a short ~5-10 min wait during weekdays. Got the 2 egg classic + bacon, and the Vermonter omelet. Kept us full during our 20 mile bike ride shortly after. Friendly service, tasty food, and great prices, especially for Burlington. read more

Henrys Diner - 2 egg classic w bacon + the Vermonter - Diners Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

Stopped here on our drive home from Montreal and it was perfect. We immediately got seated and was warmly greeted by our waiter. I checked the Yelp reviews and my sister and I both decided to order the little Henry. Perfection. I got my eggs over medium, ham, home fries, a pancake, and an English muffin. The English muffin was one of the best I've ever had. Perfectly toasted, not too bready, and had butter melted on top. I'm still thinking about the ham too. Everything was too good!! I wish I lived closer. read more

The waitress we had was not nice at all and had a nasty attitude. We would ask her a question and she would give us a dirty look as to why we are asking her the questions we did. Inside is very cute looking, they have nice booths and it's very yellow looking. The food could have been a little bit better. The home fires barley had any flavor to it , the sausage patties were okay I wished I would had received the links but I think they only came as pork. The French toast and the biscuit was on point. It was very delicious other then that. The prices were more on the pricey side other then that it was overall a good breakfast spot and no long wait. read more

YES. AMAZING STOP! Really cool 100 yr old diner and the food was fantastic! It's a tiny space so we sat at the barstools and watched them cook our breakfast. We both ordered the Little Henry breakfast. The 2 customers seated next to us ordered the BLT & fries and the fried clams with Cole slaw. They both LOVED their food too. It's a very clean restaurant and the owner is running the front and hustling around as well. What a unique experience. So glad we stopped in! read more

Best breakfast in town. Classic griddle style, order a little of everything and top it off with a maple milkshake. Cozy af interior. I'm sure it gets crazy busy but worth going first thing on a weekday to appreciate the old school slow breakfast experience. read more

Food was good and a good value. Service was nice and quick. We liked the diner feel.

We were a frequent flyer for Henrys but ever since its been under new management the quality has gone done. The potatoes are pretty terrible and you get like 4 of them and the food in general is not good. Its sad cause this is such a staple in Burlington and I fear we are losing another one. The chocolate milk is still on point but that is from a machine sooo... read more

What a great diner. Potatoes and Biscuits and Gravy were very good!

Great diner. We've been trying to go here for awhile now but there's always a line so we just go elsewhere. But if I had known the turnaround is so quick i would've been waiting in line way prior to now. Sat down quickly and our server came right over for our drink order. My husband got the French toast and I got the Phly skillet. He said his was great. The bread was soft and buttery. Mine was perfect. Eggs over easy, the potatoes were spot on. Couldn't have asked for a better breakfast read more

Outstanding breakfast and great service. Get the blueberry pancakes. We will be back

I don't get the hype. ‍ Coffee The menu notes it was Vermont coffee, being a coffee connoisseur I indulged. I immediately regretted that decision. The coffee was so bitter it wasn't drinkable, clearly Vermont coffee makers pick the cherries too soon or maybe that's the standard? The coffee was also overly strong, like jet fuel. Again, maybe that's the standard. Clearly it was not my jam, I tasted it and couldn't even drink it. Irish Benedict I Cynivised and switched the English Muffin to their homemade biscuits. Good hollandaise sauce with a lemon presence that was balanced. Perfectly poached eggs. I liked that the hash was real and not the canned stuff. The potatoes in the hash were a bit underdone. The biscuit was a little stale in the middle. The side of potatoes that it comes with were a great golden brown, and still under cooked, with several hard pieces of potato. Chocolate Chip Pancake Golden brown pancake. I Cynivised by adding chocolate chips. The chips were perfectly melted. I loved that in Vermont you get maple syrup! I'd expect nothing less. The pancake itself was very chewy, indicating that the batter was over mixed. The food at this diner was edible, at best. Nevertheless you go for historical reasons, one of the first diners in the State with only 4 owners in over 100 years and still operating today is very impressive. read more

I stopped by for brunch on a random Tuesday. The diner is in a great location right off Church Street. Upon arriving, I was quickly seated and the place wasn't too busy. My server was quick, attentive, and friendly. I wasn't too sure what to order but I went with the biscuits and sausage gravy since I wanted savoury - they came with home fries. The food was just okay. I had orange juice too. I'm not sure if I didn't order what they're known for but I found the food to be not so special. read more

Perfect diner in Burlington! We came in on a Friday morning and the service was excellent. It's a small old train car and they really utilize the space perfectly. I ordered the little Henry with scrambled eggs, home fries, sausage, biscuit and a pancake. It was soooo much food. The highlight was definitely the homemade biscuit. The pancake and sausage and home fries were also great. The scrambled eggs were typical diner eggs so I filled up on the rest of the food first. I will definitely stop back next time we are in Burlington. read more

I'm writing this review to give a shout out to our waitress Kim on the Fourth of July. Kim had nothing but patience for our chaotic group and she served our table with a smile, warm energy, and care. We were one of the first tables there and received perfect service. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food, we had a great experience. Thank you Kim!!!! read more

Located in downtown Burlington you'll find this charming diner on Bank Street. We stopped in for breakfast. Our server Kim was exceptional and definitely more of a high end style server. Her attention to detail was way above and beyond what you'd expect from a diner. Breakfast was so good!! We arrived at 9:45 and did not have to wait. read more

This gem was recommended by our server the night before. It has a tremendous breakfast/lunch menu with a Greek twist. The homemade corned beef hash is to die for. I had the little Henry - two eggs any style, choice of ham sausage bacon (Vermont ham delish) potatoes and choice of french toast or pancake (my choice). So yummy!! Husband had Vermont skillet with potatoes, hash, cheese and eggs with choice of toast or biscuit. Our server Kim was the ultimate in kindness. The new owner Patricio pitched in and was great with customers. Prices are very fair. Always a line but it moves quickly 10-15 minutes read more

When someone says old fashioned diner Henry's is what I picture in my mind. Sadly they aren't open Monday through Thursday so I didn't get a chance to get here until Friday when I was in town. When I walked in the first thing that I noticed was how low the ceiling was. I am 6'2" and I had the hunch over to get to the bar seats. Once I was seated I got informed by the waitress that they don't allow outside beverages so I had to dump my Coffee out that I got on my walk over. Would have been nice to have a sign posted but won't hold that against them. The waitress was friendly and knew all of the regulars by name. Felt like was in a tv show. I just wanted a short stack of two pancakes with a side on bacon. It was ready super fast. Pancakes were nice and fluffy and the bacon was crispy. Price was grassy. Under 10 for me to be filled up for the morning. Great little spot. Call me a fan. read more

Arrived for a 25-30 minute wait, which was right on the money. The waitstaff was hustling and keeping up with the flow. Sitting at the bar, you could see the 3 cooks doing the plate ballet. Awesome teamwork. Kim was my server and got me in and out quick before my flight. She recommended the Rachel over the Reuben sandwich because of the slaw. Definitely one of the best I've eaten. It was worth the wait on a busy Sunday afternoon! read more

We loved Henry's diner! Arrived around 9:30. 15 minute wait but could be seated at the counter immediately. We chose to wait. Had excellent Belgian waffles, scrambled eggs and homemade hash (hash was a bit salty). English muffins were really good. Service was so friendly. Plus, they are celebrating their 100th anniversary and have some neat merch. read more

What a find! I was staying at the AC Mariott. This location is 1/2 block from there. The breakfast was out of this world and moderately priced. The sausage was the best I've ever had. The staff are all freindly and accomodating. I went almost every day I was in Burlington. read more

The food is great, the vibes are relaxed and casual, and the prices are reasonable for Burlington.

We had to have brunch in a 100 year old diner. Coffee was good. We both ordered Vermont skillets with eggs over medium. The eggs were cooked perfectly, only issue was the cook was very skimpy on the corned beef hash and one small piece of toast cut in half for $15. 4 stars because the food was hot and tasted great. Our server was prompt with refills and the check. If we were here longer we would come back. read more

Deputy Yelper decided that we just had to stop in this Burlington Institution for lunch before it closed at 2:00pm. (Deputy Yelper seemed to associate this diner with various states of intoxication back in the day when it was apparently open well into the night - those days are over.) Mind you, it's not the most vegetarian-friendly place, which is kind of a surprise for downtown Burlington. Nevertheless, one of their lunch specials was the veggie sandwich, although it came with a decidedly non-vegetarian clam chowder. The sandwich, kind of a deluxe grilled cheese (the grilled cheese sandwich is the only item I found on the regular menu for vegetarians). Deputy Yelpers at the table praised their various animal-based burgers. But what made this visit memorable was our excellent server, Jess, who, when she noticed that I was taking some photos with my phone, volunteered to take one of our group. She is a more than competent photographer. Then, she confessed that we were sitting in the same booth where she had her first date some years previously. "How did it go?" I felt compelled to ask. The answer, Yelpers, will stay with Jess and our lunch group at Henry's. read more

Henrys Diner is one of downtown Burlington's most affordable and delicious breakfast places. The building is small and quaint, and stands out from the rest of the modernized downtown area. It looks like what I picture when I think "old-fashioned diner." Don't be surprised if you have a longer wait time during peak business hours, as the restaurant is small and popular. Jen is one of my favorite waitresses of all time -- she is hilarious, is always kind, and will keep it real with you if you have a question. A few months ago, the restaurant was bought from the previous owner. The changes have been great thus far -- the servers now have handheld devices so the front area doesn't get crowded from people lined up to pay (which was always an issue in the past). Additionally, they will soon be moving to having hours on all seven days of the week! My favorite drink to order is the Black Cherry Soda Float -- they can do a float with any of the many sodas they have in stock! read more

We came after seeing such great reviews, and they were one of the few places open earlier for breakfast. We got here around 7:20 am on a Sunday morning, and there was already a line out the door. They were short staffed, so we didn't mind waiting. (PS, if you know they're short staff and trying their best, don't be like that miserable family in front of us that spent the whole time in line complaining and being pretty mean. It's not going to get you anywhere faster. And you look like jerks) We got seated before 8 am, which was a win for us. There were only 2 waitresses, and one was doing most of the bar area and the back room which was filled with a team of rugby players. They were absolutely killing it. Super efficent and nonstop. I got the pumpkin pancakes with homefries, wheat toast, ham, and over easy eggs. I also got a yogurt with granola and apple cider. My husband got a big breakfast with coffee. He said the coffee was actually pretty good and was surprising for a diner like establishment. The food didn't take too long. And wow, it was very worth the wait in line. We were both blown away with how delicious everything was. My ham was so juicy and flavorful. The potatoes? Dear god, I could wat that for the rest of my life and be fine with it. It was very well seasoned. The pumpkin pancakes were the perfect diner pancakes I love. The yogurt was a whole fat type which was very filling but delicious. Apple cider of course was standout. My husband devoured his food. This is by far the best diner I have ever been to. The food is incredible. There was a constant line, just showing how good this place is. The staff are incredible too. We will be dreaming about this place till we can make a trip back here! read more

Homemade corned beef hash? If I see it on a menu I must order. You can have it as a side, an egg plate, or a skillet. I got the skillet with eggs sunny side up. The meat is crispy, which is nice. There was enough, though I wouldn't call it plentiful and there are no large chunks of meat--all fine and crispy. (Again, enjoyed the crispy.) And I like that there are NO green peppers (or any other veggies) taking up space here. It is just the meat. Down side: it was a bit oily. That might be the skillet preparation specifically. Not sure. I would order as the egg plate instead next time to compare. Friendly service, cute diner that is bigger on the inside than expected, lots of regulars. read more

Stopped by here looking for brunch. Note we waited about 15 minutes but that's because Burlington was definitely more bustling due to the eclipse. Our waitress and host were incredibly kind. I took our waitress's recommendation and went with the Irish Eggs Benedict while my boyfriend got the chicken fried steak. The food is super delicious -- if you're craving diner food this place will absolutely hit the spot. The price is also fantastic for the quality of the food and the size of it. The ambiance inside too is super cute and bright and it's just a wonderful spot. Highly recommend and will definitely be stopping by again next time I'm in Burlington. read more

Everything about this place was five stars for me. We sat at the counter which was fun to watch all of the action of the staff. Our waitress was super rad and friendly. It felt very warm and home-y and cozy there. Now for the food. they had some specials for Indigenous People's day. I ordered the Crabby Eggs Benedict which had a crab cake underneath the poached eggs. The blend of the crab cakes, eggs and hollandaise was heavenly! I gobbled it up so fast! They serve home fries which usually I think are just medium but they were seasoned so well with a tiny bit of kick and I loved them. I also ordered a side of their Greek bread toast and it was worth the extra carbs. They describe it as a thicker white bread with sesame seeds on the crust and as someone who is a sucker for sesame seeds, I was stoked on this. I would come back to Burlington, VT strictly for this diner. read more
