Our order was taken and food prepared as we moved down the line towards the cashier. The food was absolutely delicious! The jumbo smoked wings were the BEST wings I've had in a long time. So good that we ordered wings to go as well. The turkey sandwich with slaw and pickles was really good! I usually don't eat slaw but it was good.The thick slices of turkey were juicy! We were surprised to see a bologna sandwich on the menu and had to order it.. and WOW.. it was delicious! A bologna sandwich with mustard, slaw, chili and onions.. The gouda Mac n cheese..DELISH! They offer an array of delicious sauces. This establishment is pretty big, it was nice and clean, including the bathroom. They also have a bar.

New to the area, went on the hunt for some good BBQ and came across their profile here on Yelp and…read morethought I would give them a try. Since, I've been back a couple more times. The restaurant looks new and it's very clean and organized. The staff are super helpful and friendly. You can actually smell the smokers from outside when you pull up and that's a great sign to me that the meats will have that delicious Smokey flavor. I have tried their Brisket, Jalapeño Smoked Sausage, Pulled Pork and Smoked Turkey. All of their meats are delicious and have great flavor, and I highly recommend the Brisket. Their sides aren't bad either. I've tried the Mac n Cheese, Baked Beans, Greens and Coleslaw. I enjoyed them all but I think the Baked Beans need more meat and BBQ sauce in them IMO. Their sauces are especially yummy. Try all of them and pick your favorite. I would recommend this restaurant to any visitors in town who are wanting good BBQ.

We tried a chopped plate and a coarse-chopped plate, both with red slaw and fries. We also received a small tray of excellent hushpuppies that were hot and obviously right out of the fryer. I received a very large serving of finely chopped, moist, and flavorful pork. It was excellent and a great value, given the serving size. My dining companion received an even larger serving of the coarse chopped pork. I got to try a bite, but I preferred the chopped pork. The red slaw was finely chopped and very tasty. It was somewhat tame compared to other variations of red slaw that definitely have a little kick, like at Whispering Pines in Albemarle. The crinkle-cut fries were not quite hot and moderately crispy but were upstaged by the rest of the meal. It's all counter service at Henry James, but everyone was very friendly and genuinely trying to provide great customer service. When I look at the quality of the food, the large portions, and the incredibly reasonable prices, Henry James Bar B Que is a winner. Highly recommended!

We had never taken notice of this place until then. "We have to try this place one day!" My mom said seriously, and I knew she ment it, and I love barbeque and don't get it much so I was looking forward to whenever we would go. "9th best barbeque in Asheboro!" the claimed on their sign. We'll, A couple weeks after that day, I wanted to really try this place's barbeque out. MISTAKE!!!!!! DO NOT, AND I REPEAT ***DO NOT*** MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID BY CHOOSING HENRY JAMES!!! I'M SERIOUS!!!! And here's why: I ordered the barbeque (pulled pork) plate for 13 dollars, and it came with fries, coleslaw, and hushpuppies. I ordered takeout, and it was my mom who picked up my order, so I can't speak on the service but who gives a damn about service when the food is as good as jellied cat anal canal. I got it in my nice white bag, and the food smelled very pleasant and appetizing. I had been waiting all week to try this place, and the other alternative to the money I chose to spent on Henry James slop 'barbeque', is something that I now regret not doing. The smell of the awaiting food was the 2ND best thing I could say about this meal. I opened up the black takeout box, and was a little disappointed right off the bat. I saw the 'barbeque' in the corner of the plate looking all bland and ugly. I first ate a fry, and it was not great by any means, it was borderline soggy, heavily undersalted. But it was decent enough that I was forced to use it to get down the disgusting main event. THE DISGUISTING MAIN EVENT: the pulled pork. I NEVER KNEW PULLED PORK COULD BE SO DISGUSTING!!!!! It was like they deliberately chose not to season it, and then let it soak in water. WATER! when you take a bite, your mouth GUSHES WITH LUKEWARM WATER!!! IT is SO unnapetizing!!! I added the vinegar barbeque sauce to hope it would make it even a little easier to get down, because I paid 13 dollars for this. The sauce just made it MORE soggy, and the taste of the sauce wasn't even good enough to save the flavors of the pork. Maybe just MAYBE on a bun it would be better, to sop up the water. But at that point you might as well go somewhere else. I have better recommendations for barbeque pulled pork. I tried the slaw next, which was a vinegar based slaw. It was fine. Not great. I wouldn't even say good. Last, I tasted the hushpuppies. The hush puppies were crispy on the outside, and has a nice sweet n savory flavor. The best thing I could say about this barbecue combo was the huspuppies. Overall? 2/10. NOT WORTH 13 DOLLARS! If you're craving NC barbeque pulled pork, I have a good suggestion. GO TO COOK OUT! DON'T GIVE HENRY JAMES A TRY, UNLESS YOU DELIBERATELY WANT BAD FOOD! THERE IS NOTHING WORTH GOING TO THIS PLACE FOR! oh, did I mention I got banana pudding too! IT TASTED LIKE FLUFFY WATER!!! HORRIBLE!!! unless you enjoy watery banana pudding of course. Cook Out™ has a barbeque tray for like 9 dollars, better slaw, just as good hushpuppies, incredible Cajun fries, and their PULLED PORK actually tastes like PULLED PORK!

I ordered the chopped pork bbq plate which came with coleslaw, hush puppies, fries and a sweet tea. The person across the table from me stated they smoke their meat there and it's always good. My food didn't reflect the hype...at all. The pork tasted like a pork roast had been roasted in the oven in water without any seasoning, then chopped up and put on a plate with some bbq sauce that was also lacking flavor. The coleslaw was flavorless. The fries were edible, frozen crinkle fries. The hush puppies had zero flavor. The sweet tea was the star of the show. I didn't say a word because the locals seem to love it. But if you are accustomed to having good BBQ, you know when it's not good. I cannot recommend.

I had already chosen my "carved turkey Reuben sandwich", yum, when I first went at around 12:30-the line was out the door, so went to my appointment, hoping I could get back by the 230 close time. Returned at about 215 yay, and happily walked right up to the counter to order my lunch, when I was told they were out of carved turkey (the way the server explained it sounded like an ingredient in the Reuben was out, not the actual turkey. I asked if the "simple turkey sandwich" had carved turkey, and I was told no, it was deli meat-deli meat is so processed and unhealthy. I was super disappointed. So I opted for a Smashburger after asking how they liked it and she said it was "delicious". Well, it's not a Smashburger. It's a double burger on a nothing special bun. I was going to take the bun off and eat it with a knife and fork, and I was looking for those yummy crispy edges on a authentic Smashburger. They didn't exist. This was a double cheeseburger with very thick patties. I think they were grass fed so kudos to them for that,, but it was incredibly dry sadly, and when I saw that the bun had been toasted with butter, I put it back on and had a couple more bites, but was super disappointed-and trust me nobody loves a great cheeseburger more than I but now I love smash burgers as well!. I also ordered the Orzo cucumber and feta salad (as well as the french fries) on the side and while it was OK, it was nothing special. French fries were just meh. After all the stellar reviews I had I was very surprised that they would make a double cheeseburger and call it a Smash-burger-I wish these restaurants would stop doing that, it's misleading, other restaurants do this too. And for the money I spent, I should've just gone to Shake shack! I DO think it's worth a second chance, and I will say everybody there was very kind on the Service level and it's an adorable, really beautiful spot and vibe ! I strolled around and looked at the merchandise afterwards. So hopefully I'll be back but just super disappointed I didn't have a nice meal and left hungry.
