I must say... when I first experienced Henry's Restaurant after moving to Fort Wayne four years ago I LOVED it. Since then, the service has gone downhill exponentially. The food is pretty good, but we sat for 25 minutes with no one coming to the table to even get drink orders. Not even a, "Be with you in a minute." The time before that we were celebrating a birthday and the server yelled, "Hey! Here's your drink!" in someone's ear to get my attention across the table. Needless to say... I will not be returning for a while. read more

The hostess is a real psycho. She threw her hands up in the air and yelled at us when we asked to sit in a different place and the food was just ok. read more

Perfect!!!From the hostess,our waitress,the artichoke dip,our dinners-Perfect!!!First time here...and we will be back!! read more

Henry's Restaurant - Bars Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Had been thinking of going there for along time as it did not impress me from outside so was reluctant . Today we had dinner there ,bar was good and not noisy ,food was great and inexpensive. Most places have too much salt added to all foods ,however this was to my perfect liking as far as low salt diet is concerned. Service was also great ! Yes I would like to go there again and order that Pollock dinner . My hubby loved the Henry's burger ! read more

Had amazing food, and great beer! But Kami i think is how you spell it.. was awful! Very unfriendly got mad about us asking for a box, and checked on us once. Both my friend and I are servers, both intending to tip well felt mistreated since we are younger. Would come back for food and would make sure I had a new server. read more

Henry's has the best filet in town! Outdoor seating is fun too.... This is one of my favorite places in the Fort!

Henry's will always be my go to place for a drink and dinner. Their italian chicken over white rice is a huge meal, with two sides. Always fills me up. If it doesn't, they have the best desserts too. The beer list is always great. read more

This was my hubby's choice and it was a great hit! We enjoyed the atmosphere the drinks and the food. Great date night choice and we will be back. The coconut shrimp dinner was the best we ever had. The appetizer that you must try is the goat cheese marinara! Go eat and enjoy! read more

Such good food, and such a great place to grab drinks with friends. The whole staff is so nice!!!

So. Henry's. i have heard many people say "oh, you HAVE to try Henry's" . Really? People? WTH. It is dark, loud smelly and the food is basically bar food. I don't get it. Burger was dry, even though I ordered it medium rare. No. just no. read more

My husband and I were in town from Chicago, visiting family here. Apparently on a Sunday night, not much is open in Fort Wayne, which I though strange since its not a small town. Our intended destination was closed, so we drove to Henry's (which we had all been to before). We went in and grabbed a table with no problem. A waitress (tall with curly dyed blonde hair) came over and gave us menus and some coasters and asked what we wanted to drink. Mind you, we had JUST sat down and hadn't even looked at the menus yet, so we all said we'd start with a water. The server then asked for ID's from my husband and myself (not the other two in our party). I said I didn't have mine with me, but I was just going to have water. At this point she said that she can't serve us because it's Indiana state law that you can't be there without being over 21 (I'm 31). She VERY abruptly snatched up our coasters and menus and simply walked away...what? We were all so flabbergasted. Not about the law, or that they wouldn't let me stay, but simply because she was so rude about it! Being a Chicagoan, I've experienced some bad servers before, but this was the worst I can remember! As we got up (while telling her from across the room how bitchy she had been), she proceeded to go gossip to other customers about it. Called back when we got home to talk to the manager, who gave an insincere apology and that was it. None of us will be returning. read more

Used to love this place, but seems to be getting worse every time I go. The staff has never been the swiftest, but it almost an hour for two sandwiches and the place was only a quarter full. Food is decent, but their portions are shrinking each time I go there seem to be smaller sides. Last night they were hitting the track lighting with a broom over customers heads to get the lighting to come back on??? They had a fire once upstairs, hopefully they take a look at the wiring. Won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Want the best burger in town? Meet me at Henry's. Want a beer, cocktail, or strong drink on the rocks? Meet me at Henry's. If you're looking for a place to sit, converse, and experience one of the best bar and restaurants Fort Wayne has to offer, meet me at Henry's. read more

We asked where to get something good while staying in downtown Fort Wayne. Henry's was mentioned and close to the hotel, so we walked over. They said they had the best burgers so we got those. We were both not impressed. Maybe our ecpectations were too high. read more

We ran into this bar by accident. The food tasted like home cooking. Our server was fantastic. When we were asking about popular drinks, she had the bartender come to our table and made specific drinks for each of us (he wanted to, we weren't picky). He then made our drinks off menu and they were strong and delicious. It has a great casual vibe. read more

I love coming here on Friday or Saturday evenings when they have their fresh seafood bar open. This is in the restaurant but you pay the seafood bar for your food. It's always fresh and different each week Henry's is an old building with lots of chars here and is 21 and older. They seat you and have menus at the table for you to look over. This night and like other nights the service isn't fast and not necessarily friendly all the time. So if you're ok with that, which I am on Friday's and Saturday's then it's a good time. Great to groups or date night too On their menu. The burgers are delish. They arrive juicy and well grilled with a side, pickle and condiments if you ask for them. Their wraps and salads are also tasty. The food can tend to run on the slow side coming out but this is hit or miss as well. I've had my food arrive quickly or slowly. I guess it depends on how well they are staffed. But don't worry, if you need to nibble they give you a basket of warm bread and butter that is really yummy and satisfying. It's fairly priced and they do have a full bar if you'd like to have a cocktail. I highly recommend going. You won't be disappointed ted. Except maybe in the slow service. read more

We drove from Rockford, Il for dinner tonight! I love Henry's. I crave their bleu cheese dressing. The prime rib is fabulous and their salads are fantastic. Open a location in Rockford and I'd be there several days a week. read more

This place is always my go-to when me and the hubby go out. Sometimes we tease that we really should go elsewhere but when you're on to a good thing it's hard to roll the dice somewhere else. Shout out to Wes and Patrick who are also awesome bartenders and always take great care of us when we come in for dinner at the bar. But just one thing....PLEASE bring back the Brie! read more

This was my first food experience at Henry's. I have been before but only for drinks. I was very impressed with the fresh seafood on Friday's. My mom and her fiancé loved the fresh oysters, scallops, and shrimp. I ordered the shrimp club wrap and it was delicious. It reminded me of the wraps I used to get at Field of Greens. They were accommodating to my vegetarian needs and gladly put more vegis on the wrap for me. The french fries were also very crunchy and delicious. My mom ordered the coconut shrimp which was DELICIOUS! The service overall was average but it was pretty busy at the time we went. We waited a bit for our food but that was to be expected. I would return for the food for sure! It is worth the try. read more

My wife and I love the steak here. Homey Cheers like atmosphere with great food.

A Fort Wayne institution. Neighborhood bar feel, quality food and good pricing, and they serve food late into the evening.

Dark, divey, and good food. I mean it ... good solid food for the price. The place is big and has a gothy, old time feel. The bar is long, old, and wooden, adding to the dungeony look. The booths remind me of an old italian restaurant from the 40s. This is the kind of place with potential to draw in hipsters and the eccentric. I recently heard that Henry's is a gay bar. Though I met some odd, artsy, and overly friendly guys there, nothing about this place seemed gay. read more

Blue Gill and Ribs, Yep, Saw that on the menu and had to try. Never really had game fish at a restaurant but what the heck. It was delicious and the home town atmosphere was a nice addition. Nice and friendly service. read more

I loved the atmosphere-- welcoming and cozy! Leah, our server, was sweet and on top of it. I will definitely be back.

The quality of the food for the price you pay, especially with it being located downtown makes it a great deal all around. The catfish appetizer was excellent. Some may think the decor is dated, but it is historic. You got to see it to believe it. You may have driven by the place a thousand times like I did in the past. It is definitely worth the stop, but keep in mind that it is a bar as well, so no one under 21 is allowed in. read more

This is definitely a must see if you're trying to delve into the history of Fort Wayne, this should be a stop on your route, it's been in business since the 50's. It's a neighborhood bar and restaurant with that neighborhood vibe. The food, however, will not give you a reason to write the folks back home. The menu has no real theme, it jumps from steaks to pastas to island dishes like coconut shrimp (which were actually not half bad) and it lacks creativity as well as any stand out taste. The beer menu was expansive (bottled) but the wine could use an upgrade. read more

We are from Chicago. We came to visit our friends in FW. They had to bring us here. I am glad they did. From the outside the place looks closed. Go inside and you will find the place hopping, loud and dark. It was great. Lots of drinks to choose from and the food was sooooo good. read more

They have a large bar the semi wraps around from the entrance to the back. They have plenty a seating. I saw couples and groups of all ages. I went with friends and found asked for a large table in a quiet corner. Patrons were drinking and having a few laughs. I love that the place is dimly lit and the decor was rustic. My friend has been coming here for most of her adult life and will definitely request to come here when in Indiana. read more

Great downtown bar with decent vegetarian options. Try the Santa Fe veggie sandwich! Pretty good drinks too.

I left Henry's last night and told my fiance that Henry's is my favorite place in Fort Wayne. We've been coming here for just over a year now and it never, ever disappoints. The bartenders remember you and greet you when you walk in, and they're patient when you don't know what to drink, and knowledgeable about drinks, beers, cocktails, etc. I'm a big fan of the Friday night raw bar, and their steak sandwiches. I have never in my life had a steak sandwich THAT good. I especially love the homemade aioli they serve on the side; they should bottle that stuff and sell it, it's amazing. The atmosphere is perfect - it's dark and wood-heavy, cozy enough for a late night drink with a date, but big enough to meet a group out and have a good time. We'll be back forever. read more

Henry's never disappoints! We had delicious steaks, topped with wine butter. My parents had delicious battered fish with a spicy tarter sauce. The boom boom shrimp appetizer was awesome and I highly recommend. We had great service, as well. Amy was awesome!! If you get a chance, check Henry's out. The atmosphere is nice and nostalgic. read more

Feels like home no matter how many years pass. Yummy creme brûlée and solid drinks tonight.

Rude/bitchy wait staff, mediocre food, extremely long wait times for service. After several poor experiences, I won't be back. read more

Henry's has been a part of downtown Fort Wayne for many years. Yes, the waitresses can be shrewish, but that is part of their charm. If you act like an intelligent person, they treat you as such. If you act like you are royalty, yeah, they will cut you down. It's all in good fun and general hatred. Personally, my favorite waitress is Cindy. She's been there for some time and she will kick your butt if you act like one. The food is good, but I suggest you stick to the classics. The nachos are fabulous. Hamburgers are wonderful. The specials are always the same, but the meatloaf is delectable. Overall, it is lovely place and the dark wood makes it cozy and a great place for a first date or to have a laugh with a big group of friends. read more

Love the food here. Service is usually a miss the several times I've been there. After talking to one of my friend about this place, apparently you are supposed to expect nontraditional service here and be able to demand what you want from the waitress. The art displayed are by local artists and periodically updated. If you never been, it's worth a try! read more

It is a bar first but with excellent food. The hamburger is great and so is the fried fish which is has more interesting seasoning and flavor than the typical fried fish in Northern Indiana. By far my favorite dish there is the steak filet sandwich which is so tender even a person without teeth could eat. For appetizers the nachos and the wings are very good. And don't miss the home made desserts. I'm not much of a cake fan but their home made chocolate cake with home made icing is out of this world! read more

Great place to meet with friends for drinks and conversations. It is never too loud nor uncomfortably quiet. Excellent ambiance that is very hard to find in Fort Wayne. The food is amazing too! read more

Good. However, this is not a bar where you will likely talk to anyone who you don't know, except perhaps the alcoholic who is invariably sitting next to you at the bar. The bartender and the waitresses are entertaining. The food is indifferent, but this doesn't seem to bother anyone, least of all the alcoholic (me). read more

I've spent many a happy--and often boozy--evening at Henry's. I like it because of the decor (the brick walls with local art, the cozy booths with the tiny lampshades, the wood trim, the old bar complete with huge mirror) and because it's not a meat market atmosphere. Draws an artistic crowd. The food is very good, especially the seasoned fries, the reuben sandwich and the Friday night prime rib with horseradish sauce. read more

I just went to Henry's for the first time yesterday after weeks of hearing my coworker telling me to go. It is a very cozy place the food was excellent. My husband ordered fish and I ordered a wonderful salad with tuna. I love having fresh food that wasn't frozen or fried. I will continue to go back to Henry's and tell others to go as well! Thank you for the wonderful service! read more
