Great diner. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's bustling inside. Chicken and waffles were great. Sausage gravy and biscuit was great. The gravy was excellent. What stole the show was the corned beef hash. It was extremely delicious. Service was great and quick. There was a wait when we got there, but it was well worth it!

We had a nice time at Henry’s Diner. Love me a good diner vibe and this place fits the bill to a T. Has the counter and booths and some tables around the side as well. It was pretty busy on a Sunday morning but we beat the rush it seemed at around 8:45 am. I had the little Henry, over medium eggs, bacon, a biscuit, pancake, and added a side of the sausage gravy. The bacon was small and just okay. Should’ve went with ham. I was pleased that my eggs came out as ordered and the sausage gravy was homemade and was great! How all diners should be judged and they passed with flying colors. My pancake was also good. That Vermont syrup ain’t no joke either. My wife got a special, basically an omelette with biscuits and gravy inside. She enjoyed it and also got a pancake on the side. Her pancake was undercooked for her but said the flavor was still good. Service was slow but pretty friendly. Everything came out as ordered and we left full and happy. Definitely worth checking out. I enjoyed the history of the diner as well.

Super cool retro style breakfast diner. Vibes were really nice, great atmosphere. Feels like eating in a time capsule. Ordered the Hungry Henry with french toast. The eggs were cooked well. Breakfast sausage links were a hit. But the french toast was the highlight for me. Definitely recommend trying it. We also had the gravy and biscuits which was great too.

Experienced a 100 reasons theyve been open for 100 years! In a day where decent customer service is few and far between, Henrys has maintained a level of attentiveness and hospitality in a high volume establishment that makes it worth sitting down instead of getting take out. We hopped in line on a sunday morning, notably a diners busiest time, and we were greeted and sat within 15min of arriving. We ordered coffee, hot tea, the philly omelet, french toast, and a slice of apple pie. The omlet was perfect with an actual decent anount of meat and fillings. The french toast was crisp on the outside and moist on the inside making for a perfect amount of melted butter and maple absorption. The apple pie was warm and sweet. Maybe a bit sweet for me, but decent sized and served warm with whipped cream! Our server was super kind and in the middle of handling at least 5 tables managed to check in and stay on top of each and every one. We were in and out in under an hour with full happy bellies and much less missing from our wallet than would be the case at many of the newer downtown breakfast spots.
