Excellent hidden gem, plate size was oversized. I had the orzo w/blackened chicken. It was a special, I guess I misunderstood I thought it was blackened chicken w/orzo. It was delicious however only small amount of chicken. I would have preferred more of the protein and less pasta. It was however exceptionally good. Loved that we were able to get in on a Saturday evening around 6 without having to wait. Big problem in Wilmington unless you have reservations at a lot of restaurants you can't get in at normal dinner hours. I almost do not want to say this review because I want this place to stay the way it is. The staff was super nice, I will definitely go back. read more

Amazing service and comfortable atmosphere. Steak salad was on point. Perfectly fried wings. The best part is they serve the dressing in little gravy boats. Can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu. read more

Beautiful place! Jack was very pleasant and explained the specials with enthusiasm while being vey attentive!! The app was yummy; hot the way it should be!! Our meals were very tasty and enjoyable!! Our dessert needed time to sit prior to being served; still cold / frozen or it would be a five star!! read more

Henrys used to be better. They had the best shrimp and grits in town in the cake form with creamy sauce and tasty shrimp on top. No longer. Now they are runny grits with oil on top and shrimp are few and rubbery. Sad and disappointing to say the least. My friend ordered a side of grits for four dollars with his breakfast and the portion was around half a cup. No cheese, undercooked and room temperature as was the rest of the meal. The salad was out of a bag and was not cold either. One tomato and no onions. The new owners need to up their game. Bring back the cake grits and serve hot food and cold salad- that would be a great start! read more

The short ribs over cheese grits were the best I have ever eaten. Great with the Blue Cheese Vinaigrette salad and a cold Red Oak!!

We had a great time there, awesome food and a great atmosphere. Service was excellent too. Highly recommended.

My friends had called me from the restaurant to confirm I was coming because I was late. When I explained to the greeter I was meeting people she said no "they" hadn't arrived yet . I looked around the room and spied my friends immediately. You think "they" hadn't arrived yet because I was meeting white friends and not black? That's called profiling too. I was not a happy camper. It's 2023! Unwitting insults are still insulting. Won't be going back there! Shrimp and grits were salty and fruit cup wasn't available. read more

Tuesday night. Not a crowd at all. Seated immediately. Waitress arrived within 3-4 minutes. Sweet and polite. Ordered French onion soup that was very good. Had the shrimp/spinach salad. Salad really good shrimp seemed overloaded with spices. Like old bay crusted shrimp. Ate 3 of the 5 shrimp. Had the Parmesan crusted chicken for main course and it was ok. I know what a butter sauce is but it just seemed overwhelming. I ate 1 of 2. Granted I was starving as I hadn't eaten all day so I probably ordered too much food. All in all the service was excellent and left her over a 20% tip but the meal was just ok nothing over the moon or excitable about it. Not in the area often but I'd probably drive a bit further and try somewhere else for dinner. read more

I have came here a couple times and have been happy each time. I think I give them 5 stars mostly for their wonderful customer service. Our waitresses have been attentive, friendly, engaging, smiling, and when we had an issue with our meal they took care of it right away. Our meal was wrong and they took care of it, the manager came to apologize, they fixed it all, took care of us and we had a great time overall. I've had a chicken burger and a steak salad. The steak salad is very plentiful! The steak for this salad is AMAZING! It's tasteful and quite filling. The presentation is great too. There's bread that comes before the meal as well, come with an appetite. The lighting is a little dark. They had live music in the bar that I had seen when we were leaving but didn't hear it all when in the restaurant. read more

Drinks are small and watered down. Burger was overcooked and very. Calamari was average but just thrown on a plate. Salads were good. Just an average meal with lousy drinks read more

I am absolutely obsessed with this restaurant. It's so cute with a fancy but cause vibe at the same time. It's perfect for a casual date night or a girls night out with friends. Everything I got here was absolutely delish. The service was great. I went with my boyfriend and there was no wait and the food came out fast. I'll definitely be back to this cute spot. read more

Went there for Mother's Day brunch. Took 1hr to get food. Asked for eggs sunny side up received over hard eggs. Asked for extra crispy bacon received barely cooked bacon. Wife salad had hair in it. Stay away read more

I ate lunch at Henry's today, ordering their Mac and cheese stuffed meatloaf sandwich at our waitress' excited suggestion. As a result, this review is purely about this sandwich. Nothing else matters. Someone should hand that waitress a million dollars, minimum, and affirm her for speaking such deep and beautiful truth into the world. I should have bought two. This sandwich was a gift from God, a delicious explosion of comfort, a surrender to culinary hope and wonder. I wanted to hug all of the kitchen staff, even those who didn't make the sandwich, because they're all doing important work. If everyone ate one of these, the world would be a much happier, more content place. Go. Drop whatever you're doing. Shut off the rational part of your mind that worries about carbohydrate consumption and give in to the succulent invitation of a meatloaf sandwich made with freaking mac and cheese. You'll thank me for it later. Actually, you can thank me by taking me to Henry's and buying this sandwich for me again. read more

We got delivery from Henrys last night and the food was mostly throw away. the shrimp and grits were literally covered with grease butter. inedible. the steak was raw and hardly able to cut it. Calamari had no flavor. It was a poor waste of money. The cook obviously could have cared less. Never again read more

Henry's has an American Food menu. They have a blackboard at the entrance describing the local farms where the ingredients for the days menu items were procured. This is a true farm to table restaurant. The restaurant is clean and fresh - comfortable and quiet enough to support table conversation. The staff is friendly and attentive. Most importantly, regardless of what you order, the food is well prepared and tasty. A hidden gem, and a regular go-to for this family. read more

Yesterday was a disappointment because the salmon was not fresh. The fried green tomatoes were to hard to really enjoy. Now, this restaurant came highly recommend it so I am willing to give them another chance. The food had great taste it just wasn't prepared well at all. The staff was nice and professional the restaurant was really nice and clean. So, this is to the Chef you need help preparing fish because it didn't taste fresh and it was overcooked. And salmon being my favorite fish I was very hurt and disappointed to walk away leaving the salmon all my place read more

This was our first visit to Henry's and it was a wonderful meal with excellent staff! Highly recommend!! My husband had the pot roast sandwich and I ordered a cheeseburger. John ate his sandwich and the other half of my burger because it was so delicious! read more

Skip the coleslaw because there is too much mayonnaise dressing. The slaw was just swimming in the dressing. The burger was okay, should have been bigger for that high price. Our French Fries were undercooked, tasted as if they were made from frozen potatoes. The booths did not give me enough room. I have a belly. There are only a few tables with chairs. read more

We had a group lunch there. Big warning: if you are asking for a special room, make sure you speak to a manager. The young man with whom we spoke was new, and did not communicate with the manager. There was a mad scramble. We were promised another table, but didn't get that one either. The female manager who helped us comped a few appetizers, but that wasn't enough to allay the angst one feels when trying to coordinate a group. We ordered at 12:45 pm, and the restaurant was already out of some signature dishes such as steak- flank steak, steak salad. Very odd. The restaurant seems not to have its act together, and the food was barely adequate. I have eaten at Henry's in years past and the food was good. We will scratch Henry's from our list for awhile. read more

My husband and I just got take out From Henry's. We have eaten at Henrys many times and I always get a Salmon salad cause it is so good. I even convinced my husband to get it tonight for our Valentines meal. Totally disappointed!! The salmon on both plates was raw! We had to cook it in the microwave. To add to that there is usually squash, goat cheese and some pecans on the salad. There was no pecans, no goat cheese and maybe two squash pieces on each. The lettuce on my salad was bitter and I couldn't eat it. SO disappointed!! When you pay $40 for two salads one expects them to be good. It will be a while before we eat at Henry's again. read more

This was our second trip and it was even better than the first!!! Nancy was our waitress both times and she is awesome read more

So disappointing!!! Options on brunch menu were limited. Two at our table ordered the rib eye and twice stuffed potato. The potato was less than cut in half and the unseasoned steak was tough and full of gristle ! This was obviously a very cheap cut of meat. The menu did not state you would only receive a piece of baked potato and no other vegetable side was offered. For this they charged thirty six dollars. We had dined here in the past and found it to be pretty good but based on today's experience we will not be going back. read more

Very mediocre meal. I ordered a burger when I noticed booth was greasy feeling so if they cant wipe down booth and table with degreaser can you expect them to do anything beyond fry a hamburger? how hard can a burger be. The bill with tip was like $50 with no alcohol. Sucked so so bad. read more

Very fresh & delicious! I like their local sourcing of some items. Their crab cake is one of the best I've had in Wilmington; a special occasion treat. read more

Not an " ocean view" but the food was great. We arrived at 2:00 pm so it was not "prime time" the host was great...the waitress was great. cons the salad had sugar coated pecans...(i mean COATED). The dressing had sugar in it too. But the waitress was more than happy to change things. The pot roast was amazing ( a little fatty), but great flavors. no alcohol was consumed.... read more

My girlfriend and I met here for dinner. We are in our 50s. It was half-price wine night, Wednesday, which was great because we had a lovely Argentinian Malbec. The bread was just so so--not impressive, whatsoever. I wanted real butter, but it didn't taste like high-quality butter. For our main courses, we both got the scallops, which were amazing. We substituted the orzo for spinach and roasted squashes. The spinach tasted like pure salt. The roasted squashes were wilted and lifeless from so much oil. A manager came by our table to ask how everything was. We informed her that service was awesome with Nancy, but that the spinach was much too salty and the squash was much too oily. She did not offer to bring something else. Overall, I wasn't so impressed that I would return. Though I did appreciate some light music played in the very clean ladies room. read more

My daughter and I ran across Henry's by happenstance - happy happenstance! I've eaten at restaurants around the world and, although not extravagant or filled with filly shu-shu, this was one of the best. The food was presented exquisitely and was perfectly cooked - the rare hanger steak was rare, juicy, tender and delicious - same with the salmon salad and calamari. Next time I'm in Willmington I'll be sure to stop. read more

Went here for a co-worker's farewell lunch last week. I haven't been here since my shift to a pescatarian/flexitarian diet. I used to always get the steak sandwich (which is great, btw), but opted for the salmon salad this time. It was very good. The salmon was grilled nicely. You can also get the salmon blackened or bronzed (which is blackened on one side only - I learned that!). The veggies in the salad were nice and fresh and crispy and the sautéed vegetables and added feta and walnuts, with the dressing all went together so well. It was also a pretty large portion, I sometimes worry about that when ordering a salad as my main dish but it was more than enough. We also ordered a couple of strawberry shortcakes to share around the table and they were delicious, they used biscuits! I'll be back, I think they have 1/2 off bottles of select wines on Wednesday nights... read more

I was pleasantly surprised! Met my husband here for a nice lunch on Valentine's Day and it was so good! He was on that side of town so we figured let's try Henry's ! It has a really nice feel inside and a great variety on their menu. I had the marinated hanger steak and onion soup to start and it was yummo. My hubby had the lump crab cake and I loved that too! We finished lunch off with a glass of bubbly and creme brûlée and that was to die for! Great service too. We had a good time. Thanks! read more

Brilliantly simple menu. There is nothing better when catching a quick lunch with a girlfriend than an easy to read, simple, one page menu. Loads of options, but not overwhelming. Makes chatting and deciding on the meal so much simpler when you really just want to gab! Henry's was easy to find tucked read more

Henry's is definitely one of our local favorites. It's one of the best eateries in this section of town. It's a wee bit corporate without being chain-y. The often locally sourced food, and chef created dishes are way above average for the Port City while still being accessible and affordable for the casual diner outer. Meatloaf and Pot Roast are recommended for carnivores. Last outing I had the Seared Ahi Salad and the missus went with Pan Seared Scallops, both enjoyable, though the Scallops could have used a little brightness (Note to CHEF: Scallops beg for lemon, really just listen to your fish!) All and all always happy to eat there. read more

I ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes to go and this is what I got.. everything thrown on top of each other in a messy way making the fried tomatoes soggy before I even got them..last time I ordered this everything was separated properly.. I honestly wish I could've asked for a refund but since it was Togo via DoorDash I couldn't. read more

Slightly better than average bar food. Service good. Ambiance good for bar plus experience.

Hanger steak and garlic mashed were great. Vegetables were cooked to perfection. Missed the she crab soup I remember from previous visits. Peach cobbler was wonderful as well! Wait staff was attentive as well. read more

Very consistent food and service . The menu has only slightly changed over the years.

My wife and I dined at this establishment last week. we were giving this incredible banana pudding to try by the owner. It was very good. We returned today and had the salmon salad and steak the food was not as good I want to say. But we just wanted some more of that banana pudding. We ordered some and it was not what we had last week. I bragged and spoke so highly of that desert only to return and not get what we had before; bummer... seems Henrys has a hard time maintaining consistency. read more

The customer service is great and our waitress couldn't have done a better job yesterday! She gave us great recommendations and had a great attitude.The wings she suggested, were delicious. I will return and order that as my appetizer for sure! I enjoyed my salad, it had rare tuna and a wasabi like dressing. I was a big fan of the salad, and heard decent feedback from my family. We came to conclusion that the two burgers that were ordered, were cooked too long on one side. Each patty was darker significantly on one side, and apparently tasted bad. Besides that, the flavor was there and the Mac cheese was tasty. The burgers couldn't be enjoyed because of that simple issue, that hopefully won't occur anymore! read more

Ordered via door dash, it was quick but wouldn't recommend. The hanger steak was ordered medium rare and was definitely well done. The baked onion soup was separated into 2 containers- soup in one and what was melted cheese in the other but became a solid block of cheese. The street tacos also weren't very good, lacking in flavor. The roast beef dip sandwich was nothing special. read more
