The wings were hot and crisp. I couldn't make it home before all 6 of them were gone. BUT the sides were absolutely horrible. The Mac and cheese was not moist nor did it have enough cheese. The Candies Yams were dry and the only I could taste was nutmeg . Not a fan...sorry! read more

This is my 1st time after seeing this spot over 100 times. I give it a 4-star because the staff was very friendly and pleasant. I ordered the beef ribs, potato salad, and corn. I was disappointed in the ribs, one large bone hardly had any meat on it and it was saturated in BBQ sauce. The potato salad was just okay. However, my sister ordered the fried whiting and it was delicious. Flavored just right. She wasn't fan of the collard greens. I will go back to try the fried fish sandwich, but not really interested in the sides. read more

I Love that Henry's Soul Cafe is right up the street from me in Oxon Hills, MD. Every time I want some Good Soul Food, and I'm in the Oxon Hill area I got to go to Henry's. The Food is Always Hot and Fresh, portions are always enough to feed two per entree, and the staff is Always Super friendly. Stopped by this evening and got the Fried Chicken Wings(4) dinner, mashed potatoes, sweetened corn, and cornbread. All I can say is the food was simply delicious like Always. Thanks again Henry's!!! read more

Just happened to be passing thru on the way back to VA. Made a u-turn to grab some soul food for the road trip back. The food was not fresh and not what i remembered from eating at this legacy establishment back in the day. Fried chicken: not fresh, tasted like it had been sitting all day. Zero crunch. 1/2 bbq chicken: lathered in too much sauce. Overall it was decent. Corn bread: too grainy. Not good. Wish they offered hush puppies with the meal instead. Hushpuppies: on point! I could've just eaten this and been content. Collards: too many stems, too much vinegar. I wasn't a fan. Mac cheese: just disgusting. No flavor, tasted old, not fresh. The worst Mac cheese I have ever had from a soul cafe. Very disappointing. Tea/lemonade: wondering wat kind of sugar was used. The drink had a weird taste to it. Overall it was okay, but definitely had better. Takeaway: if I come back it'll just be to try the fish. Otherwise no thank you. Henry's is definitely not cooking the quality of food that it once used too. I also observed the food preparer not wearing gloves or hairnet (I did not see the cook, just the preparer for clarification). The ambiance was 'meh. Really small but clean. Seemed like one side had central air and the other did not. read more

I drove past this place several times and I finally stopped by. I wish I had stopped by sooner! Excellent food! I had the fried whiting, cabbage and candied yams. Absolutely great! The service was great and the food was cooked to order. Highly recommended and I look forward to going back soon! read more

The food is excellent, the service is really good too I always get the catfish, Mac and cheese with greens or cabbage, doesn't take too long but is still recommend placing your order on the phone just in case they get busy, oh and did I mention The food is really tasty here! read more

Whenever I want some delicious fried pork chops, I come here and they never disappoint! Lightly fried and well seasoned-- they give you 2 good sized chops. I typically get the mac n cheese and collard greens and have found consistently good flavor on both. That said-- this time I did try the barbecued chicken and my daughter had the beef short ribs. The barbecue sauce was good and the chicken was moist and tender. The portions are always a lot and I wish I'd gotten to eat the rest of my chicken, but my daughter finished it for me the next day. She said the short ribs were delicious. There aren't a lot of tables (more of a carryout than a dine-in type of place), yet we can always find a place to sit and eat (my food never makes it out of the door lol). A young man came in asking for food and when I offered to buy his meal, the owner stopped me and gave the man food for free. I wouldn't have mentioned it, except that the week before someone surprised my sister by buying her meal (she paid it forward, of course). Some good karma working in this place.... read more

I'm sorry. I hate to leave negative reviews, but this just wasn't it for me. I grew up in N.C. where my Mom and Grandma would really take their time on Sunday dinners. I ordered the beef ribs (super tough and nearly inedible) with Mac and cheese (extra sharp cheddar would work better) and collard greens (tender but lacked seasoning), baked turkey wings (pretty decent) with potato salad (potatoes were hard) and yams (decent), and fried whiting (also pretty decent) with cabbage and corn (good). I also added two slices of the sweet potato pie and, again, I was not impressed. The service was good and the cashier was stellar, but the food did not do it for me. Maybe it's the region? I grew up further south so maybe that makes a difference. read more

Henry's Soul Food is the spot when you want that real, home cooked flavor. The food tastes like it came straight from your grandma's Sunday kitchen. Everything is seasoned with love and made just right. The Mambo Wings are my favorite. They are crispy, full of flavor, and that sauce hits every time. The Smothered Turkey Wings are fall off the bone good and packed with rich, soulful flavor. For sides, I love the potato salad, collard greens, yams, and cabbage. Each one tastes homemade and perfectly seasoned. And the sweet potato pie is unbeatable. It tastes just like something your grandma would pull out the oven. If you want food that feels like home and feeds your soul, Henry's Soul Food is where you need to be. Every bite reminds you what real comfort food is supposed to taste like. read more

Food was trash. Taste like garbage the pie was under cooked badddddddddddddddddddddddddd

This place has seen its glory days. This is the 2nd location to the one on U Street in DC. For decades my family and I appreciated the location on U Street for classic comfort food such as baked chicken, fried fish and sides such as sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, potato salad and stuffing. The Oxon Hill location was promising at one point but I don't know where things went wrong. Menu items suddenly became either too salty in taste, soaked in gravy, proteins fried exceptionally hard and deprived of tender-juiciness and/or bland sides. The freshness of the food is perhaps my biggest turnoff. Considering the quality, consistency, constant sell-outs and customer service the price is not commensurate. Back in 2021 when the owner pushed their "Drummer Boy" campaign, which was the owner given customers a free fried chicken leg wrapped in a slice of loaf white bread, I experienced the restaurant play stalling games in order to keep from having to hand out free chicken. I honestly wasn't so concerned about getting a free chicken leg as much as I wanted to take part in a "feed the community" campaign that I thought was meritorious on behalf of the owner. Generally lukewarm customer service, the aforementioned customer service experience and the obvious decline in food quality is just too much for me to overlook. The one shining star that I will still consider is their sweet potato pie although it too is an inconsistent recipe. For this to be such an iconic community restaurant at one point their inconsistency and decline unfortunately keeps me from recommending this business. read more

The service was good. The fried chicken is way to salty. The sides were average. My first time in a decade coming here. Just to be reminded why it's been so long. read more

The ladies in the front were amazing (3 stars), but the cooks in the back need to get it together. Ordered beef ribs and I've never seen beef ribs look like this. Waited a hour for my food, a waste of my $23. Food is definitely not good, not sure if it's a location thing. Why would you sell customers this? The meat was super dry, hard, & burnt. Mac n cheese not good and greens weren't good. Barely any meat on the bones. read more

I enjoyed my visit to Henry's. I was pleased to see that they offered a dine in option. The menu was bountiful and offered everything from chicken wings to chitterlings. I had chicken wings, turkey wings, and catfish. I was tempted to get the ribs and pork chop, but my family had no more room to enjoy the delicious options we selected. The sides and desserts did not disappoint( Mac and cheese was not my cup of tea but my daughter enjoyed. The greens had quite a few stems and could have been picked better, but overall had good flavor. These two criticisms were not enough to keep me away. They even have the option to take a sweet potato pie kit home and bake two pies in the comfort of your own home. I am not in the area often, but when I am nearby again, I will list definitely stop by. read more

I went here to grab lunch and noticed how bright the lighting is throughout the cafe. Although it's small, there was enough room to sit down and wait for my order. I ordered the beef liver and onions with a side of Mac and cheese and candied yams. Cornbread was also provided. The liver was very tough to chew on but well seasoned. The macaroni and cheese tasted slightly watery and the noodles were soggy. The candied yams were a bit too sweet for me. I also ordered a slice of sweet potato pie, and that was too sweet for me (not pictured). I've had better soul food and will go elsewhere. read more

Pies are delicious, and the owners give free food to the community monthly. Had the pleasure of meeting owners and staff on Thanksgiving. They were beyond generous with the plates and pies. We will always come here first when we visit DC. This location is a walk-up eatery, so I wouldn't expect to dine in with my family for ambiance. Food is packed up well to go, and all utensils were included. read more

The service was excellent, and the food was great food was hot and tasty I did not have to wait for a long time for my order to be ready.

What a disgusting little restaurant! I ordered a catfish sandwich on wheat bread, a few sides, and pound cake for dessert. I received whiting with potato bread, sides, and no dessert. My order was placed through a delivery app so there wasn't anything I could do in terms of correcting the order. The fish was unbearably salty and tasted like it had been cooked earlier in the day and then reheated for my order. The greens were overcooked and mushy (why?!). The sweet potatoes were bland and bitter (how?!). I threw it all away and had cereal for dinner. Don't order from this place. It's a total waste of money. read more

Placed an order for my father's repast , retrieved the paperwork which was done electronically. I was informed that because the name was typed in the line they and you know when typing it can break the line, well they decided not to take the order. My father's repast was in Veterans Day, I inquired why I wasn't informed of this matter the day before placing the order. Mind you I spoke with one of the workers whom I asked about the paperwork and he didn't know! So with short notice and not caring , no empathy I chose to stay away from this place !

I've been thinking about visiting this place for some time now, and I finally made it the other day. The customer service was outstanding! Everyone in there was so nice, and the employee who took my order did a great job selling and upselling their food! I got fried whiting and fried catfish with potato salad and string beans. Fish: catfish was really good! Great seasoning and breading, although if you don't like thick breading don't get it. The whiting was mushy.... I'm not sure why and I don't want to think about it. The string beans were really good! Well seasoned and your typical cookout string beans!! The potato salad was flavorful but the potatoes were still a little hard so I couldn't finish it.....I would order it again based on taste to give it another chance. With all that being said, it would've gotten 5 stars if the potato salad and whiting were how they should be.. But the customer service, other food, oh yea and cornbread were good! I would definitely go there again and see what gems I could find to put in my monthly meal rotation. read more
