We were just passing through Griffin and J Henry's resturant showed up on our search on Yelp. It is an absolute gem. I had the Boom Boom shrimp and the Fried Green Tomato's with a slight twist. My Husband had bacon wrapped filet, which was cooked perfectly. If you are passing through Griffin or live close by, you need to check out J. Henry's. read more

Boom Boom" Shrimp, Fried Coconut Shrimp, bath just amazing! The Asian slaw is perfectly sweetened too!

One of my favorite places to go. I often refer others to our city of Griffin to enjoy a Dinner at JHenry's. I tell them we have excellent restaurants in town and this is my favorite! Don't miss the melt in your mouth French dip, sweet potato fries and fried green tomatoes. read more

Let me start off by saying my waitress was really sweet, however the noise level is pretty loud and here is my last word on this place so the credit card machine went down at the end of the day and rather than just take my credit card number and process it the next day which most restaurants would absolutely have no problem with it because it's not my problem that their credit card machine went down I had to go to a major shit storm and had to pay my waitress Payment in full through Venmo which seems really sketchy I wish I could complain about the food it was actually pretty good considering the restaurants in a strip mall but the thing about paying the bill inexcusable very awkward having to Venmo your waitress the money to pay your bill when the restaurant clearly had identification for me had my credit card number and could've resolved in the next day, we're not even talking a very large bill and people all around me were scrambling to figure out how to get the bills paid Having lived in Georgia for almost 10 years this is the first time I've encountered any situation like this even at some of the more upper scale restaurants like BONES or anywhere else and Georgia They should jump through hoops to fix it for us, now getting onto the rest of that dinner I had a filet which was not bad My squash casserole well good was pretty rich am I calamari well also great The salad was actually ginormous This restaurant should go back and fix or less I'll come back for another meal with a discount waiting 30 to 40 minutes at the end of the meal to be excused by the restaurant? That in itself is not cleared of all shame on the owner of this establishment for not having a back up system and making me wait how much 45 minutes to get out of there read more

Don't waste your time or your money here. Everything is way overpriced for the quality and amount of food that you get. My husband got the $34 cowboy ribeye and it had absolutely no seasoning, not even salt and pepper. And the side of mashed potatoes that came with this $34 steak, were instant potatoes. You would think that they would spring for at least a real potato with a $34 steak. I ordered the chicken Alfredo. Both the chicken and the Alfredo were so dry that I had to ask for an additional side of sauce to make it somewhat palatable. And it was incredibly bland. In fact, it was so bad, that my pasta loving toddler would not even eat it. He said it was "yuck" and refused it. And if the bad reviews don't tell you anything, the fact that it was completely empty at 6:30, during the dinner rush, should give you a clue. We should have paid attention to that clue. read more

I hadn't been here since it was in a precious location, but we tried it as we only live 20 miles away. I will be back. The "boom boom" shrimp is excellent! Better than Bonefish Grill's version, IMHO. The side salad is huge, I couldn't finish it. My bone-in ribeye was tender and flavorful. Definitely will be back, and soon. read more

J Henry's - The bone-in ribeye was wonderful. Tender, juicy. Came with real mashed potatoes. - Steakhouses Near Me - Griffin, Georgia

Solid comfort food. Not amazing but good nonetheless. The portions are just right. Great beer selection. The decor does NOT match the menu or the vibe. Easy to veganize the vegetarian options. read more

It's a bit pricey but the quality of food is good. Service is hit or miss but mostly good. Worth a try.

Nestled into a strip mall in the heart of Griffin lies J. Henry's restaurant. The service is friendly and efficient, and the place has an elegant, fine-dining vibe. During a recent lunch visit with a client, I ordered the in-house smoked salmon salad with the house-made lemon lime dressing. If you're a fan of smoked salmon, I highly recommend it. My client's pasta primavera looked and smelled amazing, and was loaded with fresh, seasonal vegetables. While J. Henry's does not have a gluten free menu, they were able to accommodate my allergy easily, and my server even relayed information about the cheese they use at the restaurant. Theirs is gluten free because they shred it themselves. However, the chef wanted me to beware of shredded cheeses in the grocery store since many brands add flour to the cheese to help it not stick together. A very nice touch, and good information to have. read more

The service was great the food was excellent I had grilled salmon it was the best. My waitress took very good took care of me and made sure I had plenty attention. She Keep check on me and made great recommendations. I travel all over the country this is a very unique place if my hometown would only have a restaurant like this. Thanks, Larry read more

Great service and tasty food every time we've been there! Also we enjoy the great variety of alcohol beverage choices!

This place has great food and service. It's been a great place in Griffin for many years.

Second time here and was disappointed. First off this is so called upscale for this area. Maybe so, because Griffin GA doesn't offer much in the area of great cuisine. I had a steak and the quality wasn't even as good as Longhorns but the price was high. I might also add that it was cooked wrong and barely warm. My wife had a bowl of chili and it was barely warm. Called over the manager and he handled it well and discounted the meal, but I just wanted a good meal. He mentioned he had some new staff. I gave them 3 stars but should be 2 1/2. I don't believe I will be rushing back. Sorry read more

Available hours for seating and togo orders are very inconsistent right now. Posted hours say open until 10:00. Stopped togo orders before 8:00 and others I know were refused seating at 9:15. Very disappointing. read more

Had as part of several work lunches and always enjoyed everything I've had- Steak salad and steak sandwich have been my favorites so far

The hostess and waiter were very kind and made us feel at home. Such a good steak! It was so tender and juicy, perfectly cooked! 2 thumbs up! read more

Had eaten here previously for dinner quite a while ago, and happened to be in the area for lunch. Had a fantastic meal. Husband ordered the bruschetta chicken and I had a steak. The squash casserole is outstanding and the bacon dressing comes out warm. Excellent meal and dining experience. read more

The good. Seated immediately on Saturday night without reservations. Service was timely and professional. The beer selection was excellent. The bad. We were first timers so not a huge sample size but our food was just awful. The large blackened shrimp were neither blackened nor large. The 10oz sirloin was advertised with a "garlic sauce". It was just brown gravy straight out of a can similar to what you would get on a cheap Salisbury steak in a TV dinner. Neither my wife or I finished half our entrees. read more

Came to Griffin to visit some friends and was treated to a late lunch early dinner here at J Henry's on a Sunday. It was just a few people inside and being a party of 12 we were seated right away in a nice semi private area. Our waitress was the sweetest ever! Now to the food... DEELISH Everything was hot, seasoned well, and fresh! From my veggie burger, to my husband's salmon, sons steak burger and daughters chicken Alfredo. Our friends enjoyed the chicken fingers that were hand battered and they too were the bomb Warm bread to start w/the perfect honey butter to spread. The only thing missing is a glass of wine or a nice beer on tap. But other than that, definitely a place to eat at if your in the downtown Griffin area read more

I dined here last evening for dinner with colleagues and friends. I was not aware of this place, and was very impressed and was pleased it is locally owned and operated. The waitress was very attentive and sweet but appeared to be a little anxious. I started with the Potato Bacon Soup, and it was warm and absolutely delicious. I loved it. It had the right amount of bacon, cheese, and creamy potato. The bread arrived to our table cold. For my entree, I had the Reuben sandwich which was simply delicious. I loved it. It was hot and everything seemed fresh. I also had a side salad which was served to almost the size of a dinner portion. I do feel that it had just a little too much cheese, most of which I had to push off to the side. They honored my request for an extra helping of Ranch dressing. It was quite good. I ended with trying the Baked Apple Cheese Cake, which had a very good flavor but the top, as pictured, was slightly burned. Otherwise, this was a decent dining experience in a casual setting of classic Americana flavors. read more

J-Henry's gets it to name from the famous western gunfighter John Henry "Doc" Holliday, and the restaurant is a classic American eatery inspired by the Houston's Restaurant Group. Feature dishes: Fried mushrooms, smoked salmon, and Hawaiian ribeye. You can read the full and updated review at the Wine Dine and Play blog. read more

Look I'm goona keep this short. Between the shrimp (youll order more than one plateful) & the porkchops I don't care where you live. GO! read more

The food was horrible. My husband and I stopped in and sat in the bar area. We ordered the fried green tomatoes and the boom boom shrimp. The tomato's were not seasoned at all and sliced so thin that they were over cooked. The shrimp seemed frozen due to all the shrimp pieces in the basket and they were never properly cleaned. They still have feces in them. My water had a black thing floating around as well. We finished our beers and left. We were planning on eating dinner. We will not be back. read more

Upscale (at least, kind of upscale) dining in a strip mall -- hey, get over it, you're in Griffin. J. Henry's is pretty dependable and reasonably priced. The wait staff is friendly and efficient. I've been here with large groups -- up to 30 people and no hiccups. Should probably rate them higher but nothing stands out except the fried green tomatoes, yeah, 5 stars for their fried green tomatoes (on menu under appetizers). read more

Was traveling for business and somehow ended up in Griffin. While this is in a tiny strip mall, the décor inside is warm and inviting. I sat at the bar and had the jambalaya pasta which was really good. They also had my favorite bourbon, Basil Hayden, so all was well. This is sort of a regular's place as the wait staff and bartender knew everyone that walked in on a Wednesday night. Glad I went there. read more

Unfortunately a bad experience and poor service night. No one answering the phone for take out orders and the wrong recording indicating that they were closed 3 days ago. So I appeared in person for a takeout order, waiting 30 minutes in the bar. It could have been worth it, but not when you take the wrong orders home. I've never been a fan of the horrible artificial tasting smoked salmon salad. The only good thing was at least the manager gave me a refund. Likely the kitchen's fault anyway. My mistake was trying to get something at J. Henry's on a Friday night, busiest night of the week with inadequate staffing. I'm an easy to please, long term customer, but not happy this time. Looks like KFC tonite. read more

This is the most elegant restaurant in Griffin, as the prices reflect. However, the food doesn't quite match the price. It's good, that's for sure, but the only time I go here is when everyone at the office wants to "go out for lunch." It's not really someplace I crave to go. If you do go, get the soup of the day (no matter which it is) and a sandwich. Their sandwiches are great. read more

I've been in and out of this place for a few years now. It's one of those places where the staff knows most of the patrons by name. J. Henry's is pretty much a place that caters to its regulars and locals but makes everyone who stops by feel welcomed. It's within walking distance to other bars and restaurants downtown but sits in a small strip mall off a quiet residential area. They have a nice but small fully stocked bar off the main dining area that also has seating. You want get any live bands or anything like that but what you will get is good food, good service at a good price. You should eat here! read more

Visiting Griffin, Ga for the weekend and found this gem of a restaurant. The service was outstanding. I had the house salad with blue cheese dressing, the salad dressing is homemade in house and the blue cheese dressing was some of the best I have ever had. My steak was cooked perfectly. They have a full bar and great beer selections. Reasonable prices, great service and food. read more

This is more of a 3.5 star review. The extra half star going to the atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant itself. The interior is beautiful, the booths they have are extremely roomy and there is ample spacing between the tables. I would have given this 4 stars but the prices do not reflect the quality of the food. There is a great selection of Gluten Free options on the menu, but only one vegetarian option. We ordered: * The Fried Green Tomato appetizer. This was great, but needed a lot more of the balsamic vinegar on the plate. * Vegetarian Burger with a side of mashed potatoes. My daughter said the burger was "just ok". She said the potatoes were really good. * Bacon Cheddar Potato Soup with a side of Broccoli Salad. My MIL really enjoyed the soup. She did not, however, enjoy the broccoli salad. It was huge uncooked broccoli florets with minimal dressing, and no raisins in the salad. It needs a lot of work. * Kids Grilled Cheese Sandwich with a side of broccoli salad. My 5 year old are one of the two sandwiches on her plate. I loved that the sandwich was thin and on white bread. It totally met our expectations of a grilled cheese sandwich. My 5 year old was not a fan of the salad even though she loves raw broccoli. * The Ruben Sandwich with a side of Sweet Potato Fries. My husband said the Ruben and the Sweet Potato fries were good. * The French Dip Sandwich with a side of Sweet Potato Fries. The French Dip was delicious. The fries come with a sweet dipping sauce also. I love the crunchy texture and the size of the fries. The sweet sauce was delicious. Beware of the cloth napkins. We were covered in lint from them. We had to run to rite-aid to buy a lint roller afterwards. read more

This place is too pricy but does not leave up to its price. $34 for a steak with box potato, I had to to asked kindly to give me stringy green beans instead.very disappointed. Valentine dinner in dress and knee high boots was a waste. Young backwoods waitresses with no experience in their homie clothes. We would have been better off at Long Horn. read more

Food good but service was awful. Other servers and hostesses worked hard but our server was disappointing. Only saw her three times the whole evening. She didn't even bus our table. And then she stopped by to pick up the tip. But left our table dirty. Apparently "there is no Justice!" read more

J Henry's - Sat in dirty plates for 20 mins. Saw Waitress three times and finally at the end to collect the tip but not the dishes. - Steakhouses Near Me - Griffin, Georgia

Working in the area for a few months and J Henry's was recommended by a few people. I was able to go by there but only for a carry out order. I ordered the French onion soup and the Reuben sandwich with potato salad as my side. The French onion soup had good taste and a decent portion size but wasn't very hot. I'm guessing that is because they serve it in a stylophone container. The Reuben sandwich had great taste even though I ate it could but it was very thin. Had very ingredients in it. With price being a little high I expected a better made sandwich. The restaurant seemed fairly clean what I could see of it. It took about 10 minutes to complete my order. The staff was just nice enough to push them over the line from being rude ... Make sense ? Borderline rude. In their defense they were very busy so maybe that made it seem like customer service wasn't really up to par. read more

I love this place! Everything tastes great. Some of my favorites are the bread (obviously), the smoked salmon dip, the steaks and steak salad, and the ahi tuna. The wait staff is always very nice. They have a great wine selection and the bartender seems to have a heavy hand when we go. read more

I went on a busy Saturday, I had salmon with rice and shrimp. The shrimp and salmon were delicious. The rice was a little underwhelming, it was overcooked (better than under). I assume it was because it was a busy night; however, my server, Sarah, told me to use lemon juice on it and it helps tremendously. Even on a busy night Sarah never missed a beat. When I thought I needed her; she was always around the corner. When you to J Henry's make to ask for Sarah; the rest doesn't hold a candle to her read more

We were told that this restaurant was an incredibly "Up-scale Dining" experience... DEFINITELY NOT!!!! Located in an old strip-mall, your experience begins as you walk into a renovated department store and you are greeted with judgmental glares from the 8 waitresses behind the hostess station. From the old ceiling tiles (undoubtedly painted to hide the stains from the previous store tenants), to the sagging bladed ceiling fans covered in layers of dust and grime, the decor reminded me of a cheaply designed country buffet in some backwoods town. The fake plants in hanging baskets were just icing on the cake... there was nothing special about the food (General, low budget, ingredients). The asparagus was horribly bitter, salmon over cooked, French onion soup was not even consumable... It was like pulling teeth to get a drink refill. To top it off, the waitress actually tossed the check onto the table as she walked by. The only thing that was to the standard of "up-scale dining" was the prices on the menu. Never will I return to this establishment...and I live 800 yards away! read more

They try really hard to be really fancy and thats worth recognizing. The menu is fancier than the actual dish when it arrives. Good French onion soup. The end. read more

I want to like J. Henry's more but every time I go I can't shake the feeling that it's just a locally owned Applebee's or Longhorn. The food is usually good although don't expect any creativity. Steaks, burgers, a pasta or two, and French fries in a place that seems to present itself as so much more. There are a few signs of life on the menu with smoked salmon, a delicious fried and smothered chicken breast, and caprese salad but they're hidden behind fried chicken fingers, ribeye steaks, and fried coconut shrimp that exist in most chain restaurants in the area; and usually for cheaper. I can't fault the owners for catering to their clientele, which tend to be on the older side, but give us younger folks an option for when we're there for one of the regular's birthday parties and maybe we'll come back on our own. read more

My friends and I went there on a Sunday night. The setting was great, the service was amazing, but the food left much to be desired. We ordered the rib eye mid rare and it came cooked from the kitchen with the temperature of the refrigerator. Perhaps it was due to the late hour, but that's no excuse. read more
