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!

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!

They have an organized system of queueing around the outside, placing your order and then paying for it. I don't know if they do table service - I didn't ask. A large platter of pulled pork with cole slaw came with a bunch of hush puppies. Yes, I ate one of them and it was great. Though it would have been better with some butter. As for the barbecue, it was quite good. Certainly plenty of it though I found it a little salty and needing the sauce just a bit. Not great, but very good. I enjoyed it. The cole slaw was nicely chopped and very moist. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal and would get lunch from Henry James again. [Review 15003 overall, 505 of 2021, number 2865 in North Carolina.]

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.

The tea was great and so was the food, for less than $20 at that! There were lots of advertisements around on the table and cups which was a little distracting but overall it was such a good experience.

Loved the flavor and crispness of them. Burger I ordered came out relatively fast and it was great but the patty was kind of small.

My first time here and I came in through the side door by mistake so that killed first impressions…read more Plus you can tell this place has been around for many years so either the food is good or they give you huge servings. It's hardly ever both in my experience. Service met the expectation. She was attentive and kept my drink full. I ordered Chicken Pie or Chicken Casserole (I'm honestly not sure what the difference is. It's a LOCALS favorite, not found in surrounding cities. I think some places call it pie and others call it casserole and I've even seen both items on the same menu). It may have been either the last serving left, scraped off the edges of the pan or it was made on a previous date and re-heated. The same with the mashed potatoes. There were hard crunchy bits of potatoes like it had been sitting out for a day or so and I got the scrapings from the side of the pan. They were not fresh. The gravy wasn't bad. The green beans were straight out of a can and seasoned with bacon or some kind of pork. They served both biscuits and cornbread. I took a bite out of the biscuit and didn't eat the cornbread. From the outside, I thought this was going to be different than what I saw on the inside. They serve breakfast here too and from the reviews and pictures, looks like breakfast may be what keeps this place open. Or the desserts. They do have a huge selection of desserts at the front entrance and they looked good. I don't think I'll be back. Not because of the service but because of quality and cleanliness.

Large menus also give me the impression everything can't be great. My son ordered the kids spaghetti with French fries.

She didn't like the hush puppies said they were too hard. They were fried a little harder than she was use to. The coleslaw had great flavor but looked like it was sent thru a blender and gave it a weird texture. My husband also got the fish and chips had the same complaint about the coleslaw didn't like the texture. I got a breakfast sausage plate. It looked like it was made in house I didn't ask but it was delicious. Eggs were cooked perfectly nice and fluffy with cheese and the grits cooked well needed a dash of salt but that is my preference. Everything was good not great. Personally would we come back, but not at a first choice. But if you're in the area looking for a quick diner that is priced well I would suggest it to others.

I have never been treated so badly as a customer at a locally owned establishment…read more I ordered a Double Cheeseburger "Carolina Style" with Onion Rings and a sweet tea. The person taking the order asks "what size?" I repeated my order, the dbl cheeseburger Carolina style. She asks, "what toppings?" I say, Chili, slaw, mustard and onions. She says back something but I couldn't understand what she was saying but I heard her say "pineapple". So I repeated the toppings again. She wraps uo the order and I get my food and head home. When I open the cheeseburger, it's just a soggy mess and I see pineapple chunks. I don't understand how pineapple got into the equation but pineapple is what she was determined to give me. I drive back to the restaurant and at the window, the same girl (tattoos all over with pimple patches on her face) who gave me the order greeted me. I said, my order was prepared incorrectly with pineapple on the burger but that's not what I ordered. She says, "You said pineapple". I said, "No, I ordered "Carolina Style and repeated the toppings three times." She grabs the bag and says "you don't need to have an attitude". I said, "I don't have an attitude, I would just like it remade". She says, "that's not a problem, we were gonna remake it for you but you dont have to have an attitude!" The window closes and as I sat there waiting, I call the restaurant and ask to speak to the manager. The woman they put on the phone asks how can she help. I tell her I'm in the drive thru returning an order where pineapple was put on the burger and she interrupts me stating she was the one who took my order and that I had said pineapple and that she is remaking the order herself and it will be a few minutes. I tried to let her know about the conversation with the girl at the window and how she told me I have an attitude. The manager repeats herself again stating the order is being remade and it will be out soon. I thanked her and just waited on the food. A different girl hands me the bag. I check it and they still didn't get it right, leaving off the mustard but at this point I'm not going to say anything in fear of how I'd be treated. So I went home and the more I thought about it, thought these unprofessional types probably spit in my food so I just threw the burger away. The onion rings were dripping in grease and the batter was falling off and they were just soggy fried onions soaked in grease. I will never spend another penny here and after reading other reviews, it sounds like a common issue. My advice: Maybe you need to get a new intercom/speaker/microphone system so people can hear orders correctly and spend some time training your staff on professionalism, customer service and quality.
