    Side salad

    The staff was really nice. Cute decor on the walls that you could buy. I had a ribeye and it was good. My husband loved his fish. I would definitely come back.

    I've lived on the OBX my whole life. Henry's has been a constant and reliable breakfast spot. They always have great food and good service. They just recently got Gluten Free bread which is nice. I got an Omelet which was delicious and my son got the French Toast. The portion sizes are big and very fulfilling. Inside the restaurant there is plenty of seating and a cute little gift shop which is where you pay. If you ever come down to the OBX be sure to check them out.

    Fried Pickles appetizer - with ranch dipping sauce - $6.99 - super piping hot out of the fryer - so good and large shareable portion size!

    Probably never would have known about Henry's had it not been mentioned to us as a place to check out for down home, comfort food cooking. We went for dinner but this place also serves breakfast and lunch and is open all year round. We're told it's a local favorite, not just for tourists and visitors. When we went, busy season had just ended so we breezed right in around dinner time and were seated immediately. My kinda way to have a meal out. ;) The place is right off Croatan Hwy so conveniently accessible in KDH not far from the turnoff to Ocean Blvd. The inside is pretty basic but saying that isn't meant to be a dig. We liked the homey, cozy feel of the interior and the decor. Very clean, neat and well kept up. Sort of like you've arrived at your favorite Aunt's house. But beware, Henry's is a pretty small place inside. Decent amount of seating (see my and others' pics of the interior) but it's really just one big dining area. I'm guessing during the busy season you're bound to experience a wait - but then again, where won't you experience a wait during the high season?? So if you're lucky enough to be in the OBX looking for a place for a decent home cooked meal out in the off season, highly recommend Henry's. This is where I'd come. The staff and our server were super friendly - you could tell the staff all get along and enjoy each others' company and have been there a while. No hesitation from our server when we asked what Henry's specialties are - she told us all the seafood (except the coconut shrimp) is fresh caught local (great to know!), the fried pork chops are popular as are their hush puppies that came with both our entree platters and I'm guessing comes with all their entrees (so good and nice to get to sample them without having to order a side of them!). The menu is a BEAST. They've got something for everyone (including a kid's menu). Apps, surf, turf, chicken, soups (apparently the she crab soup is also a specialty), sandwiches, salads and desserts. All categories of food. For dinner, there's a long list of shareable apps - we ordered the fried pickles that came out golden brown, piping hot and piled high on the plate with a side of ranch dressing for dipping. They have a ton of seafood options including an all-you-can-eat option. Not as "fancy" as Captain George's seafood buffet but also not as $$$ and not as touristy and more of a menu variety than Jimmy's seafood buffet in a nicer setting. Prices are decent. I mean yes you're in a tourist beach town but it's also just as much a local joint so they're mindful that locals need a place to eat out without draining their wallets. Pay in the gift shop at the other end of the restaurant - a la Cracker Barrel style. The gift shop is actually pretty cool. Lots of beachy knick knacks as well as Henry's logo'ed t-shirts and apparel. Try Henry's. There's a good chance you'll like it.

    Yum!

    This one was a couple of months back. Henry's is almost always our stop on the way home from vacation. The decor is beachy and comfortable. They can handle large groups and the service is efficient and friendly. The food is tasty and filling. We appreciate our visits here. They have a nice gift shop as well. Check them out!

    Club Sandwich
    Vicky P.

    Ate lunch as we were too late for breakfast (past 1pm). I had the Crab-cake platter with cole slaw and potato salad. Absolutely delicious. Husband ordered Club Sandwich with a fruit bowl (which is strawberries with whipped cream on the side.) Daughter ordered a grilled cheese sandwich that came with fries. Both were good. Husband was still hungry after finishing his sandwich. The women's bathroom was nice and clean. The men's bathroom door was wide open and I'm not sure if the door was off it's hinge. Waitress was pleasant and helpful with any menu questions.

    Steak and Eggs
    Anthony N.

    5/5! After a nice night out in OBX, our group needed to get some breakfast in us before the day started. We stumbled upon Henry's Restaurant, so we gave it a try. The Food: I went with the "Steak and Eggs" for my meal. I was looking for a big meal, and this did the trick. The steak was cooked nicely, although a little thin, it was tender and delicious. The eggs and hash browns were cooked to my liking as well. It comes with two pancakes as well, and that was good. The Service: Service was great! came in on a busy morning so we put our names down and waited to be called outside. The staff were very friendly and attentive with our group, so that was nice. The Atmosphere: Plenty of seating inside. Nice and homey. Overall, a 5/5! The staff were friendly, the service was great, and the food was delicious. I'll be back for sure!

    Obviously the menu. They also have it outside so you can be warned.

    This is being as gracious as I can be. I have to say that I was looking forward to going to Henry's. It had been a place I had frequented numerous times over the years. I honestly have no clue what has happened. Anyone can do a good breakfast...never had their breakfast. This is a review for dinner. If you're a tourist, maybe this place would be mid. It was my birthday weekend. My nephew's pre birthday weekend as well. Our waitress was okay. But I am glad we did not have the one that was basically a greeter. The whole restaurant could hear everything she was saying. Even when her father and his girlfriend showed up... we all knew who they were. Nothing quiet about her. I wished we had the older waitress. She was personable. Knew some of the regulars. Just plain friendly. I asked our waitress what she would recommend. Should have known better. She looked about half scared and about 12. So...I went with the large order of prime rib. Let me say this...as someone who has eaten alot of prime rib, even made prime rib...this is NOT PRIME RIB! It is an over marinated, economy rib eye. Prime rib is a rib roast...roasted whole. This steak was ..texture wise, cooked by the marinade. Then it was au jus'd with a grainy, packaged au jus. It was so damn salty. I ordered mash with gravy and beets. The mashed potatoes were not done. Raw potato in every bite. This is just my meal. I showed our waitress all the gristle from this faux prime rib. I told her that it is inedible. HALF OF THIS STEAK! No offer to give a discount or anything. This is the second "local" restaurant to have such crap, expensive food and do nothing to satisfy the customer. I wasn't going to make a scene. I shouldn't have to show my ass in order to have a good meal. This is a continuing theme, everywhere. If I can make it better at home, why go out to eat?

    30 bucks buys you 10oz of fat and gristle, 4oz of edible meat

    Coffee Shop No. 410 Outer Bean…read moreKitty Hawk, NC September 5, 2024 If there is one thing I have learned over the last two in and a half years it's that a genuine smile and a warm greeting goes a really long way. It can transform an ordinary drink into something special. It makes the magic of coffee last throughout the entire day. I was immediately welcomed when I walked into the Outer Bean. Initially, I was bummed because cortados were not on the menu. I asked the barista if she would try to make one. She said sure. I gave her general directions and she walked to the espresso machine. A couple of minutes later she handed me a cup with two shots of espresso and a stainless steel pitcher with steamed milk. The barista said, "Why don't you add the milk in so you get it just the way you want." I thought this was a thoughtful gesture. I thanked her and made my cortado. We chatted a bit. It turned out she is Thai and my husband is Thai; and I love to talk about Thailand. I took a few pictures. We exchanged goodbyes and I exited the cafe with a genuine smile and a very positive impression of the Outer Bean. Smiles are free and they can elevate and/or improve any situation. Plus, folks always look better when they smile. I hope you make this world a better place by sharing your smile with someone today. Thank you to the barista at Outer Bean who shared her smile and made my day brighter. Enjoying life one cortado at a time!

It got the job done as I enjoy one cup a day and was a bit behind schedule. The place is small, but perfect for a coffee shop where take out is mostly occurring.

Neither one was worth the money. Everything is expensive anymore when you eat out, I don't mind paying if the food is good. The soup had no signs of fish or seafood in either serving. It tasted like a spicy vegetable soup. It was good but no fish and not worth $9. The Quinoa bowl was average, tomatoes were spongy and tasteless and 3-4 pearl mozzarella balls. How is that $19? Very disappointing. I gave 1 star for our wine and our waitress Emily did an awesome job. She was prompt and took care of all the tables in the dining room. She did a fantastic job ensuring we had everything we needed. It wasn't her fault for the food. We are both locals and wanted a girl lunch, and appreciate the challenges restaurants face. Trio is always busy So not sure why today's food was so poor. I still bought wine at the store, again great shop.
