I didn't have super high expectations for this little eatery in Henderson. We are in beautiful country, but out in what seems like the boonies. What a surprise I had in a very good way! First off, this spot is cozy and rustic, from the antique wooden bar to the brick walls and Turkish lights and carpets. We were immediately greeted and while our host started to escort us to a table, we asked if we could sit at the bar. Of course, was her reply. We took our seats and Melissa came out to give us menus and take our drink order. We went in thinking of sharing a small pizza so I was looking for a glass of red wine to accompany it. I asked Melissa for a glass of Cabernet, but they didn't have any. She told me what they did have and I asked for a small taste of the blend which she happily provided. It was good, so I decided to have a glass. We asked for her recommendations as it is always fun to get the staff's opinion on menu items and she replied that everything is good, but she especially likes the Australian Chicken. We asked about the pizzas and she recommended the George's special and told us we would love it. Sold (although I would really like to go back and try the chicken). The pizza was delivered hot, fresh and flavorful. Toppings included pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, onion, green pepper and mushrooms. The ratio of sauce on the pizza was just perfect and so tasty. Toppings still had that slight crisp that I love. The crust looked a bit thicker, but was not. It was crunchy outside, but had a wonderful softness to the inside that I loved and a great flavor. Usually, I discard crusts, but I munched on these. We were offered Parmesan and red pepper flakes. Those red pepper flakes packed some heat! We had the best experience thanks to Melissa and the delicious food! I hope that we have an opportunity to come back in the short week we are here. read more

Great food and wonderful service in an interesting setting. An old brick building with very high ceilings, and cross beams adorned with Turkish lanterns and rugs. Jessa, our server was amazing, a great waitress as well as funny and kind. She constantly checked to be sure we were ok, our glasses were always full. The food was delicious, fresh, served hot and clearly made with care. I had the Olympia pasta with chicken, it was delish, my husband's steak sandwich was very tasty as well, just a lot of food. Lastly prices are very reasonable. To add chicken to my pasta was $3.00, and it was a ton of moist tender chicken. We will absolutely return to this gem. Thanks Jessa for making it a great experience. read more

Stopped here on a road trip to Charlotte. We were pleasantly surprised. The waitress was very nice and attentive and my pasta was good. My sister said her steak and cheese was basic but still good. We both agreed the crab dip was god but the cheese on top was too hard. Made it difficult to scoop and eat. A nice local spot! read more

Visit 27 SEP 2024 @1330 We were on our way to Wake Forest Univ. from Maryland, this was our lunch stop. As we were parking the radio blared a tornado warning for the area. Fortunately forecasters are as good at what they do as I am at video golf, so... This seems to be a local hotspot. It is a little hard to find driving by if you don't know the area, small parking lot. The sign from main road is not clear, especially with a tractor trailer blocking the entrance. We sat inside at a high table near the entrance, but there is a patio area. The decor is uncertain, we were puzzled by the hanging rugs and interesting light fixtures. I heard some greek and Spanish in the kitchen, a good sign. If there is a theme and direction to the interior design it is muddy at best. Set design aside, we had a good lunch, our server Melissa, was pleasant and efficient. The menu is a mix of southern dishes and basic sandwiches. My wife had a Rueben, I had a Club sandwich. The fries were very good, slightly battered. Our sandwiches were well put together, wife liked the sauerkraut forward, which was okay with her. My sandwich was well balanced, a bit light on meat variety [ham, light turkey, didn't notice bacon] but what was there was fresh. Instead of the classic triangles (which can be a hassle) this one was in halves. The bathroom that I visited was small, single use, and dated, but it was clean and well functioning. From what I could tell, and I look, the place was pretty well kept overall, if a little aged. If we were in the area again, or local we would certainly come back with some regularity. The pricing is fair considering current economic environment. read more

After a meeting downtown, it was suggested that we check out George's. This must be the locals' local spot as tons of people picking up orders as well as eating inside. We were quickly seated at a table and settled in. I checked out their menu while glancing at the large and colorful plates go by. Their menu was a mix of southern favorites such as jambalaya and as well as ribs, burgers, wings, and a variety of salads. I decided to get the spinach pie that came with a Greek salad. I did not know what I was in for as about 20 minutes later, our waitress, who was super attentive and kept our drinks full, brought me my food. I received a tower of Greek salad along with two slightly crispy pieces of spinach pie. It took me a few moments to take all of this in. I picked up my fork and dived into the salad first. Crisp, refreshing, and so fresh. I loved the large pieces of bell pepper as well as the olives, feta, and mixed greens. Did I mention how fresh it was?!? Now to the pie, it was nothing like I've had before. A slight saltiness and crispness and paired with the tzaiki sauce coolness. I had to stop and, of course, take my leftovers with me. The salad made an amazing dinner later on, btw! I see why this place is so busy! The food is amazing and fairly priced, the service phenomenal, the restaurant is pretty large. I will be back in Henderson over the next few months, so I will be back to enjoy another entree at George's! Thank you!! read more

Our group of 4 ate here twice while camping at a nearby State park. The service was excellent and the food was even better! Great portions and delicious food! Everything we ordered tasted homemade. Excellent menu to choose from. read more

Have always enjoyed George's the two times I went in a row! The staff is always friendly and ready to take your order! I have yet to sit as I did to go! The food is delicious! I ended up getting their fried raviolis both times and the Alfredo one night and their chicken parm the next! I also appreciated how they packaged the meals! They were well prepared and in sealed containers! read more

Quiet Wednesday night and super cozy lighting and feel. Boasts a pasta heavy menu and short, but tasty wine offering. Wonderful staff and small parking lot on the side. My penne pasta with chicken and spinach in a balsamic cream reduction sauce was decent, albeit sweet. read more

Great service and I enjoy the quality of the food. I think those who live in the area should give it a try,

This is one of our favorite spots in town. Each restaurant - Oxford and Warrenton all do an amazing job! Great service, food and price!

George's was offering a crab cake sandwich on a brioche bun. I couldn't help thinking what a bold move! Put something that's breaded between two pieces of bread with lettuce, tomato and sauce. They pulled it off - it was delicious! read more

Why are there lima beans in the pot pie? Stopped here visiting family but left a little unimpressed while the food is passable the prices are too high for the quality. If you are in the area give it a try they do give large portions and the options are slim in the area but don't go expecting top tier food. Also we had some pretty terrible service server didn't return or ask how things were going for long periods of time. The vibe of the place seems like they should be serving barbecue food or bar food it's not terrible but nothing too memorable either overall I'd give this place a 2.5/5. See ya next time cowboy read more

I love me some George's in Henderson. Have been to Oxford too, but they didn't handle the crowd well and we never went back. George's of Henderson is housed in the old train station and the seating is somewhat limited by its size. They have a decent selection of food like pizza, burgers, salads, pasta, wraps and much more. Service is typically on point. There is an outside dining area that's screened in. The house chips are made to order. BTW, I bring my own ranch dressing. Not fond of theirs. read more

The food was amazing! The service was awesome! The rustic atmosphere is Fantastic! We will definitely be returning!

This is a lunch or dinner eatery. Also a full bar A favorite in the Community and surrounding areas. Offers a versatile menu- sure to please most everyone! They have sumptuous salads- one of.my favorites 1 the chef salad is loaded with a turkey ham lettuce carrots cucumbers red onions cheese boiled egg- generous serving sides- also sub sandwiches- my husband's favorite is the Philly steak sub-great pizza!There is the main dining room with another overflow area -a patio outside.Receptions Christmas parties are held here. The servers and hostesses are friendly & efficient! The restaurant is easily accessible off the Oxford NC I 85 corridor exit 202 about 3 miles off the exit. The prices are within the range of acceptable in this day and time. read more

George's - chef's kiss! We were in Henderson today to buy a car and once we were done, it was time for lunch. Checked restaurants in the area and went with George's. It was...amazing! The building, the decor...the FOOD! We started with calamari with low expectations. Y'all - that homemade chunky marinara wanted to make us lick the bowl clean. He got the Shrimp and Grits - the best he has ever had, even having had the dish all along the NC and SC coasts (and homemade, they blew mine out of the water). I chose the seemingly simple sirloin - a safe bet anywhere - and it blew my socks off! The flavor was, well, fantastic. And y'all need to try those homemade chips! Those are worth the trip all on their own. We are an hour from Henderson and are looking for reasons to go back just to visit George's again. I regret that I did not get our server's name but she was excellent. Drinks stayed full and service was on point. Could not be happier (or more full - the portions!). Give this one a try! read more

02 January 2023**** . Ohhh my. What a great little gem. What was once a hardware store, turned restaurant! It's so neat inside. They have a front outdoor seating area, which has been cases in, but certainly tooooo cold to sit outside-this time of the yr. . The inside remind me of a little Italy. :-) It's cozy and relaxing setting. Our waiter was very sweet and accommodating (shoot, forgot to get his name). They were short staffed (like all restaurants over the world), but they made it look easy. We didn't lack for anything. . Nowwww- let's talk about those homemade chips!!! My goodness! Those suckers are DELICIOUS!!! I'm talking not just "good", but GOODT- GOODT!Ha! I couldn't stop eating them!!! They were hit and crunchy! They come with a side of ranch dipping sauce. I could have those as a meal by themself. Ughhhh they were so good!!! Yeah - I'll be back JUST to sit down and munch on those. My salad was very fresh. My hubby likes his meal also. He stated the salmon was moist and flavorful. . This is the BEST restaurant in the area. If you miss going here, your loss because it's for sure an EXCELLENT choice. They had just as many pick-up orders as they had in-house. A revolving door! . So yeah, go ahead and try it out! You will love it! Pleaseeeeeee get the chips! I'm drooling now for some and it's freaking 11:54 PM trying to leave this review. Ha!!! Takkkkeeee me back! LOL! read more

We stopped by tonight for dinner. Sat at the bar and ordered drinks. My husband had a craft pilsner and I settled for Coke. Dinner consisted if steak quesadilla for him and chicken parm for me. The food was good and hot when it came out of the kitchen! The chicken parm came out with two cutlets and much more pasta than I could ever eat! The bartender was attentive and checked on us throughout service. The atmosphere was nice with exposed brick walls and beams across the ceiling. Would definitely recommend and we will come back again when we're in the area! read more

A very very nice local restaurant. This is a place far and away above the many highway dining options just outside of town. The atmosphere is relaxed and not overwhelming. Their menu is basic, the cooking is great ! Best part is the staff. They work hard to make sure their customers are attended to and satisfied. We thought the place was so good we made it a point to come back the next night read more

We go in to George's on a regular basis. Very consistent food and service. Dependable to be open on a regular basis. They have specials all the time. We really like the servers. They take care of us and are helpful. Favorite place in Henderson to eat. read more

I ordered 2 chicken pot pies. The menu on yelp says it comes with a side salad only. When I ordered George's told me no salad comes with it. I show them the yelp menu and they said they don't use yelp anymore. No one even offered to help us out with giving us a salad. I could have bought salads but it's the point that no one even offered. The food is great but apparently George's isn't too worried about honoring the menu on yelp. read more

Great pizza! We drove 45 minutes to arrive and we were not disappointed. Way to go! Enjoyed it and took some home. read more

Food was very good. Was greeted quickly and seated promptly. Drinks arrived quickly. Server was prompt to take our order, even though it appeared she had all the tables inside to care for. Loved the feel and atmosphere of the restaurant. Will definitely return and recommend to our friends and family. read more

Hmmmm... Where to begin. It was birthday, my family, my lady, and I visited George's while in North Carolina. What I will say is, I enjoyed the restaurants decor. I'm a fan of fish, and the tank was beautiful. I got the Salmon dish and it was ... Meh, at best. The Salmon was dry, you could tell that the calamari was frozen, and the bartender argued us down when we told her we couldn't taste the vodka in each of our drinks(I'm not a complainer). With that being said, my Parents - who had been there before - ordered Pizza that was excellent. So maybe I over thought it? Maybe I should've just ordered the pizza. Regardless, my experience wasnt memorable because of the food, but because of the people I was with. read more

We are visiting in town for the week. Had an amazing dinner. Highly recommend! Food was delicious and service was top notch!

I love George's. Their pizza is the best in Henderson. Really good service. there fried mushrooms were oddly great. Would recommend

I was pleasantly surprised after several bad experiences in Henderson. Called ahead for a to-go pizza. Grabbed a small veggie pizza with minimal cheese. Arrived about 10 minutes later and my pizza was already on the way out. I was happy to see that they actually did minimal cheese. The crust was fresh and tasty, not oily at all. The veggies were abundant and fresh, my only ding on the food is that you have to cook veggie pizzas differently or the water from the veggies will saturate the dough which was the case with this pizza. read more
