I was in the mood for a plate of some good food before I left DC . This place did not disappoint service was fast and my food was hot . I ordered the catfish meal which comes with two sides. I got yams,and potato salad. I also had to be greedy and got some sweet potato pie.Now when a place says they are known for something I order it ,and yes I'm glad I did the pie was everything I just wish it was a tad bit bigger .I thought the slice was small. Other than that I would recommend to come here. A great takeout spot .

I haven't had soul food in DC in years because most of the places have been hit or miss with food quality. Henry's gets a 10/10!!! Crispy fried chicken like my grandma would make in Tennessee or down south at my alumni college Jackson State. The portions are large and the food is yummy!!!! Tip: Call to order your food in advance or the wait can be long. There is no seating only carryout.

Longtime DC native and always wanted to give this place a try. It's a classic hole in the wall with good food. I first walked in and there is a stinch that chose to ignore so I could give the food a shot. Glad I did.The server is a bit short with her responses but she knows her stuff when it comes to the menu and pricing. She's Henry's granddaughter and appears to be running the whole show now that Henry is gone.My wife and I both ordered the Fried Whiting with Mac & Cheese and Greens. I also ordered a side of yams. I received my order and the bag was heavy. I knew this was a good sign. I got to the car and the food was piping hot. The cornbread is A1. Greens are delicious. There is a healthy portion of whiting which I surprisingly couldn't finish. The Mac and cheese was mediocre. Overall the food was really good and I'll definitely return. I ended up calling my mother and aunt and ordered food for them since I knew it was pretty good. Classic hole in the wall with good food. If you're looking for soul food this will definitely scratch the itch.

Henry's is a great place you're looking for old fashioned southern style soulfood. I especially like its Mac and Cheese and collard greens. You can't go wrong with Henry's.

This food touched my soul. Soooooo good! The mashed potatoes were insane! And the wings were delicious. My friend ordered the half chicken meal with a side of greens and mashed potatoes. I didn't get enough pictures but incredible! I will 100% be back!

I love this place! From the food to the customer service, both of which have been awesome both times I have gone.I found Henry's on Yelp last month and decided to take my family for takeout. We were here visiting from California.I was here again this month, and all I could think about on the plane was our first day's lunch, and, of course, Henry's was the first choice.This time, we chose chicken and fish. Last time, we had the same but included turkey wings and pork chops. Both times were so good! I love Erin, who took my order, and she even remembered me from my prior visit! She has been nothing but kind and patient with me adding to my order. I also want to shout out Renata, who was our server.Whenever I come to DC, Henry's will also be in our food rotation! They also give college students a discount. What a great way to honor the community. Thank you again, Erin, for making me feel like a loved and valued part of Henry's!

Souuullllllllll GOODDDDDDDDDDD!!! And yes it's worth the wait. We got there around 5:00p on a Friday. There was no line just 1 person ahead of us. Ordered fried okra, fried chicken, with candied yams, cabbage, corn bread for me and my daughter to share. Got my sister fried cat fish plate & a few Sweet potato pie slices. We waited for about 20 minutes and people just started coming in left and right, it got busy real quick. Got home and demolished our plate because it was the best food we had on our trip. So glad we stopped and got to try Henry's! Will be back when we come back to DC.

Stupid hours, mediocre soul food and Horrible service from a dirty Carryout. "Famous" sweet potato pie was extremely underwhelming and homemade lemon cake tasted old dry and store bought. It was cheap tho

Great food, big helpings. I used to prefer some of their competitors, but they've really improved over the past year. I've had three different meals from them lately, and they knocked it out of the park every time.

I ordered online on 12/24 for pickup 12/25 at 11:30 am. I got a receipt that indicates that date and time. Well imagine my surprise after driving 30 minutes from Virginia to arrive and find they were CLOSED! I know the food is good but there was NOTHING on their site to indicate they would be closed on 12/25! If u can't do the basics like posting correct hours of operations then I cannot give u my $$
