    The staff was really nice. Cute decor on the walls that you could buy. I had a ribeye and it was good. My husband loved his fish. I would definitely come back.

    I've lived on the OBX my whole life. Henry's has been a constant and reliable breakfast spot. They always have great food and good service. They just recently got Gluten Free bread which is nice. I got an Omelet which was delicious and my son got the French Toast. The portion sizes are big and very fulfilling. Inside the restaurant there is plenty of seating and a cute little gift shop which is where you pay. If you ever come down to the OBX be sure to check them out.

    Fried Pickles appetizer - with ranch dipping sauce - $6.99 - super piping hot out of the fryer - so good and large shareable portion size!

    Probably never would have known about Henry's had it not been mentioned to us as a place to check out for down home, comfort food cooking. We went for dinner but this place also serves breakfast and lunch and is open all year round. We're told it's a local favorite, not just for tourists and visitors. When we went, busy season had just ended so we breezed right in around dinner time and were seated immediately. My kinda way to have a meal out. ;) The place is right off Croatan Hwy so conveniently accessible in KDH not far from the turnoff to Ocean Blvd. The inside is pretty basic but saying that isn't meant to be a dig. We liked the homey, cozy feel of the interior and the decor. Very clean, neat and well kept up. Sort of like you've arrived at your favorite Aunt's house. But beware, Henry's is a pretty small place inside. Decent amount of seating (see my and others' pics of the interior) but it's really just one big dining area. I'm guessing during the busy season you're bound to experience a wait - but then again, where won't you experience a wait during the high season?? So if you're lucky enough to be in the OBX looking for a place for a decent home cooked meal out in the off season, highly recommend Henry's. This is where I'd come. The staff and our server were super friendly - you could tell the staff all get along and enjoy each others' company and have been there a while. No hesitation from our server when we asked what Henry's specialties are - she told us all the seafood (except the coconut shrimp) is fresh caught local (great to know!), the fried pork chops are popular as are their hush puppies that came with both our entree platters and I'm guessing comes with all their entrees (so good and nice to get to sample them without having to order a side of them!). The menu is a BEAST. They've got something for everyone (including a kid's menu). Apps, surf, turf, chicken, soups (apparently the she crab soup is also a specialty), sandwiches, salads and desserts. All categories of food. For dinner, there's a long list of shareable apps - we ordered the fried pickles that came out golden brown, piping hot and piled high on the plate with a side of ranch dressing for dipping. They have a ton of seafood options including an all-you-can-eat option. Not as "fancy" as Captain George's seafood buffet but also not as $$$ and not as touristy and more of a menu variety than Jimmy's seafood buffet in a nicer setting. Prices are decent. I mean yes you're in a tourist beach town but it's also just as much a local joint so they're mindful that locals need a place to eat out without draining their wallets. Pay in the gift shop at the other end of the restaurant - a la Cracker Barrel style. The gift shop is actually pretty cool. Lots of beachy knick knacks as well as Henry's logo'ed t-shirts and apparel. Try Henry's. There's a good chance you'll like it.

    Yum!

    This one was a couple of months back. Henry's is almost always our stop on the way home from vacation. The decor is beachy and comfortable. They can handle large groups and the service is efficient and friendly. The food is tasty and filling. We appreciate our visits here. They have a nice gift shop as well. Check them out!

    Club Sandwich

    Ate lunch as we were too late for breakfast (past 1pm). I had the Crab-cake platter with cole slaw and potato salad. Absolutely delicious. Husband ordered Club Sandwich with a fruit bowl (which is strawberries with whipped cream on the side.) Daughter ordered a grilled cheese sandwich that came with fries. Both were good. Husband was still hungry after finishing his sandwich. The women's bathroom was nice and clean. The men's bathroom door was wide open and I'm not sure if the door was off it's hinge. Waitress was pleasant and helpful with any menu questions.

    What a great place for breakfast. Had a chance to meet the owner who took the time to walk us…read morethrough some of breakfast options, including where he orders his ham from....NC company known for their ham! So, tried the ham---thin sliced and as good as advertised! Home fries.....you could tell these were homemade! Pancakes....light and fluffy! Overall, great breakfast and business has been family owned FOREVER! Worth a visit...or two!!!

    Had breakfast here with family this morning - my grandfather ordered food - 2 over easy eggs & 3…read moresausage links. he was brought out his breakfast on a saucer/side plate. his eggs weren't made correctly, busted all over the plate. he asked the waitress politely to take it back and he didn't want anything else as well as he did not ask for a refund. 10 minutes later we were greeted by the owner, woman, by her screaming at my grandfather across the table on how to treat employees and all he had to do was "ask for a bigger plate" proceeded with stating how "ridiculous" he was because he wouldn't just eat it. the poor waitresses were mortified as well as us by this experience. will NEVER come back here. IN REPLY TO OWNER SINCE I AM UNABLE TO REPLY TO RESPONSE - our heads were down as we were absolutely embarrassed the OWNER of an establishment came out the way you did. YOUR staff came up to us multiple times after the fact to apologize for how YOU were and that you were always that way to customers but how intimidated they were by you so they didn't want to say anything. He pulled the waitresses aside to apologize for any convenience he may have caused them, letting them know they were wonderful but YOU were the problem. adding to the waitresses stated how he wasn't rude & quote from our waitresses from quote said "if i knew she was going to be that way to y'all, i would've never said anything." your replies are very telling on you as a person - learn customer service if you are going to try to run a successful business!
