Unfortunately, the experience behind the vibe didn't come close to delivering. The service was a real letdown. Our waitress was visibly in a bad mood from the start, and it showed in every interaction. No one came to check on us throughout the meal -- not once. And when the food finally arrived, it came out cold. Not lukewarm, cold. There's really no excuse for that, especially when the table hasn't been checked on and has no opportunity to flag it in the moment. It's frustrating because the atmosphere genuinely has something going for it. But cool decor only carries a restaurant so far -- at some point the food and service have to show up, and on this visit neither did. Won't be making a return trip.

A group of four of us went here for dinner after searching for a while.

Thankfully we ended up at the Unconventional Diner and it was perfect for satisfying everyone in the group!! We were all able to get tasty drinks- from n/a Hibiscus Citrus lemonade, white wine, a cinnamon toast old fashioned (what? A cereal inspired old fashioned, yes please and it was fantastic!), and a Bourbon basil smash. Then the crew settled on some food-the waiter was patient with the questions and contemplation from the table (thank you!). We started with the SKILLET CORNBREAD with Habanero Honey Butter | Sea Salt (v) And that was melt in your mouth cornbread. Damn. Real cornbread seems hard to come by any more and this is the real deal. And the honey butter and flake sea salt-can't go wrong. I'm a spice weeny-for reals-and this was incredible. It's a MUST get. Across the table we had two of the double cheese burgers (I warned, we have a lack of adventurous eaters) -and they both said the burgers were the best they've had. I had the Philly French double dip, with horseradish cream and caramelized onions-so fantastic-the roast beef was melt in your mouth and the broth was the perfect saltiness. Our fourth got the fried chicken sandwich and really loved the dill pickle slaw that came with it, and the chicken was not over cooked and not raw-perfect! We all had fries with our meals, the thinner kind with light seasoning and none of us could stop eating them, even when we were clearly full, the fries just kept disappearing.

The potatoes were drenched in oil and overloaded with salt to the point they were inedible. The salmon was also extremely greasy and overly salty.

I spent good money on breakfast and ended up throwing most of it away because the potatoes and salmon were simply too salty to eat. Very disappointing overall.

Ok, so I love Mr. Henry's and have been coming here for a long LONG time! But, to be honest, it is…read morea difficult place to review. I can't decide between 5 stars which my gut tells me OR 4 stars because the interior is so drab and dreary. Ultimately, I decided to give it 5 stars because the food was so good and the service was so lovely! So there - that is my decision! We returned to Mr. Henry's after a long hiatus and we found the food still among the best comfort food in the city. My spouse's blue cheese hamburger was juicy and meaty. The potato chips were crispy and not greasy (and tasted like real potatoes). The cole slaw was tart, a little sweet and a little tangy - just like it should be. A very good meal. For me, I had the pulled pork. OMG the pork was so good. Very moist, real meat and it had a luxurious barbecue sauce that neither overwhelmed the meat nor underwhelmed the sandwich! And the bun was toasted to perfection and held together perfectly under the moisture of all that delicious pulled pork. Really really good! One thing that struck both of us was how VERY good the service was! Naveeta was so friendly, so professional and so talkative (without ever interrupting us). She really added a great casual yet welcomed atmosphere to Mr. Henry's. She was able to help us navigate the menu. If our glasses got close to empty, she was right there for a refill! She is the consummate waitress to be sure! The other waiter (who did not wait on us) also seemed friendly and professional. How did they find such good people to work there??? The ambiance of the dining room leaves a little to improve on. It's not just old, it's run down. That doesn't stop me from loving the place and it will NOT stop me from coming back of course. But, it is, to be honest, not a good looking or modern dining room. It is comfortable though and that is consistent with the type of food you get here. It is not fine dining BUT the food is all SO DAMN GOOD that you really don't care! Is it a touch dirty looking? Maybe. But, again, I can overlook that if the food knocks my socks off (which it did). And when the service is great, I have to give this place its due. I guess that is the real reason Mr. Henry's has been around so long. Delivering great comfort food in a friendly and efficient way with a big smile on their faces! I highly recommend Mr. Henry's for a wonderful casual meal of comfort food in a great atmosphere!

Mr Henry's is awesome…read more We were walking back from the National Art Gallery, and it was lunchtime. With 4 people/different preferences, we started looking for a bite. At first we went into nearby Hawk and Dove, but they only had brunch items, and some of us were looking for something more savory/substantial. One more block, and the answer appeared, like a rainbow after a summer storm. It was the only crowded place today, a good sign! We were seated in about 3 minutes and had a great meal. Son and I both liked the grilled ham and cheese. The ham was great- just the right thickness and perfect blend of salty and sweet. The fried pickles were the perfect appetizer to take the edge off our hunger. My wife liked, but couldn't finish, her breakfast quesadilla. DIL enjoyed the waffle stacker. Wife said the waffle was delicious. One of the most historic places on Capitol Hill, friendly staff, good food, and a unique experience. Highly recommend!
