It's been years since we had Henry's food. We stopped here after we left the county fair. Luckily they didn't change their recipe for the buffalo sauce. We made sure we ordered extra wing to take home for later. We will definitely be back.

Was greeted and seated pretty quickly when we walked in. Had stopped at a Shell gas station to use the facilities and get a water. Asked the attendant what place he recommended that was not a chain and a little off the wall place. He recommended this place. Our waitress was Monica, and she was pleasant, get my water glass full, just on top of her game all around. I highly recommend the cherry glazed chicken breast if it’s offered as the special. Didn’t have room for dessert. I looked around the place and it had a lot of historical photos from the little town that had been donated. I wanted to take some pictures but I didn’t want to disturb anyone meals. They were quite busy! So if you’re ever in the area of this little town, I highly recommend checking out this little gem.

Stopped in on a road trip. Our server was very nice! I highly recommend the fried mushrooms! The burger I had was really good! The only thing I would say is the salad bar wasn't worth the extra cost. It was basically lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, and croutons. Good selection of dressings. Also had 2 puddings, dried cranberries, and Cole slaw. Everything was filled and fresh, I just felt like for the price, it would have more options. Just personal preference

It was my first time eating in. My experience had only been carry out pies which are huge and delicious! I’ve never had a pie disappoint. I was surprised when the food was only average. Maybe it was just my selection of the Philly cheese steak. However, I tried the A.B burger and it was better but still nothing to get excited over. Fish was good. Service was great!
