Henry's Soul Cafe

We love the food at Henry’s and asked them to do a catered buffet for our casual wedding. The food was delicious, they were easy to work with, and the servers they sent were lovely and did a great job. MANY people told us that it was the best meal they’d ever been served at a wedding. We’re so pleased with our choice to use Henry’s and would highly recommend their catering service!

Excellent food, not greasy, tasty , nice portion size. Nice variety, truly good ole fashioned soul food; nice price points Each time I got to dc- I head right over and take som back down the road- too ; this pic does not do this justice ; we have the whiting, meatloaf ribs , cabbage greens , sweet potatoes , sweet potato pie, cake and my goodness the cornbread 🍀

The food was absolutely awesome! The plan for my DC trip was to try several restaurants. Chose this place as the first stop and it was the main place we ate from. We even stopped before heading home for plates to go. Everything we had: Turkey wings, cornbread stuffing, pork chops, fried chicken, mac n' cheese, collards, cabbage, banana pudding was delicious. They didn't skimp on the serving sizes either. My only complaint was the last time they didn't have enough stuffing for a side order. This place will be a staple for me when I am in the DC area.

Amazing food very much worth a visit. Stopped in on my lunch break and they made easily the greatest steak and cheese I’ve ever had in my life. The workers there will treat you well if you’re cool with them but please be patient.They’re working hard back there and don’t have time to get yelled at. Don’t expect good service if you’re a bad customer.

It’s a small space so take out only. The staff were kind and the food was delicious. I got BBQ chicken, macaroni and cheese, corn, cornbread and peach cobbler. The chicken, oh it was so tender and just melted off the bone. The macaroni and cheese was the best I’ve personally ever had. The cobbler and cornbread(more grainy texture and sweet) were super tasty as well. I wasn’t interested in the corn but it was cooked well. Overall 10/10 and I wish I lived closer.

My partner and I have had the darndest time getting truly good and affordable Southern food here in DC. We're happy to report that Henry's lives up to their reputation as reliable purveyors of tasty and authentic soul food! This establishment is take-out only so it is important to plan a way to eat it quickly (steam =/= good fried chicken and mac) or refresh it in the oven for a bit once you get home. NOTE: The collard greens are extra salty and don't have ham in them...

A legit Soul Food Cafe. This little hole in the wall has been there forever and the food is glorious. Everything you want from comfort food. Portions are huge, delicious and fresh. The fried chicken was on point. The mac & cheese was perfection (and I'm not a big mac & cheese fan). You should absolutely get an order here... but bring friends, these servings are enormous.
