This review is coming from my first time visiting M Henry. I took a peak at the menu before hand and I already knew I was gonna love it I unfortunately didn't get pics (I was so hungry I couldn't wait) We went the day after Thanksgiving and we got lucky that it wasn't crowded at all since reading the reviews we were worried we'd be waiting a while. But we were seated right away. It's on the smaller side inside but not too small for the location. My husband and I were greeted right away and hot coffee was pouring into our mugs as we asked for some. The attention to service was impeccable. I ordered the veggie quiche which came with a side salad. My hubby ordered chilaquiles which was a HEAPING pile of food. My was absolutely delicious. It tasted fresh, not greasy. Plenty of veggies and the crust was good. He loved his (I didn't try it as I don't eat pork). He annihilated his plate and left no crumb untouched. We were continually getting our coffee and waters refilled. I would definitely go back again if in the neighborhood. Side note: the array of pastries on the way in looked amazing but I didn't try any. read more

Food good, but not great. Lots of breakfast options, both sweet and savory. We each had the 2 Benedict offerings (pro tip: ask for extra Hollandaise) and pancakes. Pancakes were a touch dry, but still tasty. Service was the standout, though. Super welcoming, quick with coffee refills, food drop off and bussing. Pretty decent place, tables are close together, which is only something to mention in wintertime (coats, hats, scarves). Love the Andersonville neighborhood, so this is just one of the many amazing local joints. read more

M Henry is our first choice in Andersonville for brunch! Their menu is eclectic with many fresh option from quiches to great breakfast sandwiches and beyond. Killer egg is my fav Sammie . Pastries up from off a delightful tasty blend from Lemon Olive Cake to croissants. Pancakes killer too. Only lost a star from me for 1:45 stop serving time . Should be open till 3pm. Anyhoo Food Krank gives 4 mmmm good rating ! read more

The noise was so loud on Sunday!!! We couldn't hear anyone! Food and coffee good. service was good but if you have 6 people and pay over $200 and can't talk ... why go??? read more

Very cute and popular brunch spot in Andersonville! Service was lovely and we thankfully got there early enough (9am Sun) that we didn't have to wait but by the time we left around 11, there was a line out the door. The portion sizes were large and there's plenty of options for everyone to choose from. The food was tasty, but nothing that necessarily blew me out of the water. My favorite out of our dishes we tried were the blackberry blisscakes - the pancakes were soft and the cream in the middle paired perfectly with the fruit. However, the tortillas with some of our other dishes were a little too thick for my taste. Would still go back for a brunch with friends in the future! read more

Continues to be great food and service. Keep up the great work! Love the coffees, salads, omelettes, kids meals, etc.

M Henry is a very popular brunch spot so be prepared to wait on the weekends as they don't take reservations. We got there around 10:30 with 3 people and we only waited about 10 minutes for a table which was really good! It's pretty big inside and always bustling. They have different types of mimosas as well as all the coffee and lattes. I ended up getting a London Fog, which was very good. For Sunday brunch, they have a separate special menu. I ended up ordering the potato knish benedict off this menu. I'm always so happy when a restaurant serves eggs benedict without meat! The potato knish cakes were yummy and the eggs were cooked perfectly. I think the only thing I would've added next time is avocado! But overall so good and the side salad they give you with the meal is very hearty as well. read more

Is it just me, or are 95% of breakfast places either coffee and croissants, or something loaded with fats, carbs, and hopefully some proteins. There could be four-and-a-half blueberries on top on the pancakes... but is this really material? No. Enter m.henry. There are two things I enjoyed about the Potato Knish Benedict. First, the hollandaise was enjoyable. Too many hollandaises are heavy on the acid, and light on the savory. m.henry's was towards the savory side, and not disguised lemon juice (or worse, vinegar). Only one other place I've tried thus far has been able to create a passable hollandaise is The Farmer's Daughter down in Easton. I have no complaints about the egg, other than eating them in this and age makes one feel like royalty, but I digress. The Knish cakes themselves were not my cup of tea. They are made of a blend of potato and fontinella cheese. This combination comes across as being sharper than I feel it needs to be. While I appreciate what they were trying to do, this is not a dish I would order again. The star of the show, out of left field, is the salad. The blend of veggies was well thought-out, and I enjoyed both the dressing and the way it was dressed. This salad is what made m.henry feel like a different experience that wasn't all carbs and fats. The vibe inside is that of a cute cafe, but larger. The service was attentive, and surprisingly fast considering how busy the restaurant was at the time. Finally, in light of the cost of everything (especially eggs), I think the prices were more in less in line with the market. Thus, m.henry does a unique breakfast well, the ingredients were quality, and the service was excellent. However, I don't feel the immediate pull to return that a truly great (i.e. 5-star) experience would give me. read more

This restaurant offered a good and filling vegan option for me, the gluten free mostly vegetarian. My only warning is that the portions are huge - I could have split it with another person, but that's a good problem to have I guess. read more

When you first come in you can't help but to smell the deliciousness. We were sat as soon as we walked in. They seem to have different specials each day so what you may see on someone's review may not be available when you go. Our server was pleasant. I had Jorge's black bean cakes with chorizo. The only downside to this dish is they didn't put enough chorizo on the tostada. The cinnamon roll French toast, was just that and delicious. I wasn't a fan of the breakfast bread pudding because it was all custard. The sweet taste was their but I wasn't expecting ALL custard. read more

I have been wanting to come here for a while and made it out on a Saturday afternoon. No wait so that was great! Service was attentive and very kind. Food was very sub par. I got the quiche and my boyfriend got an omelette. The potatoes were cold and not crispy. Quiche was very flat and greasy. Honestly, I just did not enjoy the food at all, and I thought that it would be a lot more fresh. Disappointing. read more

M henry - Quiche - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

First time eating here. Loved the diner feel. However, tables are on top of each other and noise level was very high on a Saturday at noon. I had to shout to converse with my partner across from me. We wondered if it would have been more pleasant if less crowded. The food was good but pricey. Expect to pay around $20 per entree. We ordered the Bacon Quiche and Turkey Sandwich. The Quiche was tasty but very oniony. My Turkey Sandwich was served on very small seeded bread. Fries were excellent. 2 Entrees with 1 coffee was $53, including tip. Too pricy for amount of food served. Service was great and he deserved 20% tip because he was working hard. read more

Super solid spot! The portions were massive and service was so quick. I loooved the shrimp Benedict and the French toast, my friends also liked their hot cakes as well. We came with a group of around 7 people and didn't have too long a wait! Good for groups or couples, would recommend! read more

Decent brunch spot but it didn't blow me away. Pretty casual interior with plenty of seating. Service was a bit slow but we came on a busy day. Hot chocolate was on the milky side and could have been thicker/stronger. Latina Omeletta was alright, the omelette itself could have been fluffier. The plantains were on the mushy side. Home fries were yummy! read more

Their brunch is always great! I have been going to M. Henry for the last several years and have never had a bad experience. There can be a wait on the weekends but it's worth the wait. read more

The food was pretty good. I had the chilaquiles and the portion was rather generous. I was definitely stuffed after brunch. It's quite a popular place so there may be a short wait depending on when you get there. The service was all right. The server seemed to be rushing us a bit, but I'm sure that's because they needed to turn over the tables quickly. I wouldn't reccomend this place for a nice leisurely brunch. Could be a good option if you want to eat quickly and leave. read more

M Henry is a brunch staple and a must try in the Andersonville neighborhood. I've been coming here over the years and the food has always been consistent and delicious. One of my favorites is the bread pudding- which they currently only have available on the weekends. I've tried many of the dishes on the breakfast menu and recommend their omelettes and quiche selections. They also have menu filled with specials. They have bakery items that look sooo good and enticing which are made fresh daily. The service has always been great whenever I dine in at the restaurant and never feel rushed even if they are closing soon. The ambiance is cozy and it can get pretty busy on the weekends. Reservations are not available unfortunately, first come first serve. This is definitely a brunch favorite in Chicago and I highly recommend! read more

M. Henry in Andersonville is hands-down my favorite brunch spot in Chicago--nothing else quite hits the same! If you want the best of both worlds (breakfast + lunch), go on a Saturday when their full menu is available. Trust me, it's worth the wait. I am a total sucker for their lemon-raspberry brioche French toast--perfectly soft, slightly tangy, and just sweet enough to make you want to savor every bite. But I can't stop there. Their roasted veggie & goat cheese baguette? A dream. Warm, toasty, and loaded with flavor. And let's not forget the lemon olive oil cake--light, moist, and the perfect way to round out the meal. Honestly, I've ordered almost everything on their menu, and I can confidently say you cannot go wrong with anything. Their dishes are fresh, well-balanced, and made with care. Plus, the cozy, homey atmosphere makes it the kind of place you'll want to linger in. Vegetarian-friendly? Absolutely. Delicious? 100%. Worth a visit (or ten)? No doubt. If you're in Andersonville (or anywhere in Chicago, really), do yourself a favor and get brunch at M. Henry. read more

Been wanting to come here for awhile based on multiple recommendations. Seated quickly with menu. Drinks orders taken immediately with water given. Had the bacon quiche, coffee and side order of bacon. Food is good. Service is okay. If you want more coffee you need to ask. Same goes for water. It wasn't busy at all so you would think they would walk around refilling drinks. May give them another shot. read more

Stopped by for brunch on a Tuesday afternoon and ordered off their special menu for the day: smoked salmon benedict, special omelette, and an order of raspberry lemon French toast to share. The portions are huge so expect leftovers. Service was super attentive and friendly! Love the rustic and spacious interior as well. Next time I want to try the Bloody Mary! read more

My wife and I went for brunch around 1130 today (Tuesday). We sat on the outdoor patio. It took at least 25 minutes for our order to be taken. We then waited an excessive time for our food to be prepared. When it came to the table, the waiter brought bacon instead of chicken sausage...no big deal, but it was never corrected. Following this, nobody ever brought the check. I asked to speak to the manager, I was told they were coming...never!! Unfortunately, the owner was in California. All this being said what food they did bring to the table was quite good. Hoping that this review is seen by management!! read more

We stopped in for breakfast the day after we arrived in Chicago based on the reviews and reputation. When we walked in there were a lot of people eating but they were able to seat us right away. The place is bigger than you think. Despite the tables being closer together, I didn't feel cramped. Their menu is inventive, blending classics with modern twists. I was debating between a few egg dishes but landed on the dandelion, leek, and shallot omelette. I'd never had dandelion greens before and heard they were bitter. The omelette was far from bitter, but full of flavor and well-cooked veg. The potatoes were nicely seasoned with their in-house blend. My partner opted for the veritable vegan epiphany and loved the flavor and portion size. He got the fruit cup on the side and we appreciated that it wasn't full of filler fruit. We appreciate how many vegetarian and vegan options they had! I'm looking forward to going back. read more

Loved this cute café! Tried the salmon sandwich and the rhubarb pancakes. The bliss cakes are dense and delicious. The sauce was delectable! I absolutely loved the salmon sandwich. The bread was great and the salmon was perfectly seasoned. Loved the slaw that had nice sesame oil flavor. I highly recommend! I definitely enjoyed the place and the servers were very nice. read more

M Henry is absolutely one of the best breakfast/brunch spots in Chicago. Pleasantly casual and unassuming, it's a perfect spot to dine solo or catch up with friends. Every menu item I have tried has been spectacular. It's no secret that the blackberry bliss cakes are completely delicious, but the black bean cakes with drunken eggs are a must-order as well. Several brunch partners have sworn by the fried egg sandwich as well, although I have yet to try it. A heads up that if you plan to visit with more than two people, you may want to make a reservation as it gets quite busy especially during the weekend brunch rush! My only wishlist item is that they were open later. I think most of us can agree that breakfast/brunch food is appropriate at any time of day! read more

M henry - Bread pudding, candied bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We had an amazing Sunday Brunch at M Henry. We got there around 10 and only had to wait about ten minutes for a table. The service is very quick but not in a way where you feel rushed so they get people seated pretty quickly! There are a lot of different seating options and they do not take reservations so be mindful of that on nicer days and weekends! The menu itself is so diverse with a mix of classic menu items like steak and eggs or French toast and different specialty things. We split the bread pudding which was a huge portion and so nice to share. It wasn't overly sweet but as warm and delicious! We also had the soprassata wrapped baked eggs which was like a little mini pizza almost in a way. Loved it. We also had the latina omeletta which was hearty, filling and so so good. We left with full bellies and plenty of leftovers and cannot wait to come back! read more

For starters the the place is just too cute for words. Decorated with recovered doors and windows separating individual dining spaces. Our server, Meghan, was very friendly, attentive and welcoming. The brunch offerings are seasonally varied. I ordered the Latina Omelette, which included fresh black beans, plum tomatoes, sharp cheddar, green & sweet onions and cilantro topped w/chipotle sauce and served with sweet plantains & house potatoes. It was incredible. My wife ordered the Rustic Peasant Quiche, which included asparagus, sautéed leeks, shallots, applewood bacon, gruyere and lorraine swiss. Not my cup of tea but she loved it. Definitely worth a trip to the Northside. read more

Delicious food, although the tofu got a little salty in some spots, fortunately my buddy let me swap it for the remnants of his baked eggs over greens. The bottomless hi iscus lemonade was an organic citrus O. Love the food and service, a must if you can find parking in the area read more

Cezar H is the man. Great server helped me very fast! Great service! Burrito was also very good.

Not my first go around at m.henry and - this establishment is one of the places I try to frequent whenever I'm in the Andersonville area. Each time I come here, I leave thinking breakfast/brunch/lunch was awesome. This time was no exception. Service was great - my waiter pointed out the seasonal salad and I loved the greens tossed in tahini dressing. The avocados were perfect and the grilled chicken was super delicious. My partner got a salmon sandwich and we were amazed at how big the salmon filet was. The sesame slaw and grilled red onions went well with the sandwich and we were both super satiated and happy with our meal. One of the best brunch/lunch spots in the area! read more

Great breakfast spot. Their pastries are like having dessert for breakfast. Quaint atmosphere.

So darned delicious and decadent every time. I brought my husband for his birthday and now he loves it too.

Went over the weekend as guests of younger relatives. Food is good; service was good. But I'm an old fart that favors traditional American diner food - hash browns, sausage links, corned-beef hash, bacon & eggs, served in a no-frills, reasonably-priced atmosphere. If you're into the fancier, uptown side, this will be a great choice for you. Not so much for me. read more

This was my second time coming here for brunch, and it definitely exceeded my expectations! It's a cute, cozy place to grab a filling brunch with friends and family. I ordered the sweet and spicy greens and butternut bowl with grilled chicken and quinoa and it was phenomenal! The spicy hoisin glaze was delicious. It was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy! My siblings ordered the lemon shrimp and corn cake benedict (on their specials menu) and the fresh fruit crepe! The portions were way bigger than we had thought and we all definitely had leftovers to take home for later! If I'm ever back in town, this will definitely be one of my go to brunch places! read more

What! I can't hear you! We went to M. Henry for breakfast today and the very first thing that hits you close to the front door is the deafening noise.M. Henry is probably the noisiest restaurant I've ever been to. The tables are close enough to hear your next-door neighbors' conversation not to mention Kids screaming and running around. I ordered the Blackberry Bliss Pancakes, fluffy hotcakes layered with w/warm blackberries & vanilla mascarpone cream, & topped with brown sugar & oat crust. Simply delish! My friend ordered the Dandelion, shallot, and leek omelet our fluffy omelet sautéed with dandelion greens, caramelized shallots & leeks, and fontinella cheese, served with house potatoes or mixed greens salad. I would come back but I wouldn't eat in the large eating area but opt for the few tables near the front door or the patio weather permitting Good coffee and clean bathrooms read more

Wasn't thrilled. Used to love this place, and its fresh pastry as well. This time, it was loud, bustling, many open tables but seated at the counter with servers jostling me as they went by. Can't say I cared for the food at all, either-- completely indifferent quiche, cold in the middle, and expensive to boot. It used to be a very charming place, but I feel that's largely gone now. Would not recommend, sadly-- too many better options now. read more
