Henri's Cafe

Really nice to see an old school place like this, still thriving in today’s world. Beautiful building on the corner, and an excellent old diner atmosphere with great food and service. My food was cooked just as I wanted and arrived quickly to my booth with a great view through big front windows. I hope to enjoy this diner again someday on another trip.

This place is straight out of a movie scene. Pulp fiction style diner! Pro: - atmosphere and environment - affordable - quaint - service - large menu - great coffee - bacon Con: - pancakes were tough and the bottom was chewy It was definitely a wonderful experience. Has a loyal customer base!

Henri’s Cafe is one of the best places for breakfast and a cozy start to the day. The food is always fresh, tasty, and made with care — from the classic breakfast plates to the smaller details, everything feels just right. The service is excellent; the staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a comfortable and relaxed vibe that makes you want to stay longer. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a nice meal with family or friends without feeling rushed. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Henri’s Cafe is truly a gem, and I look forward to coming back again and again.

Food was great! 👍 But we had this young waitress who's there all the time she's absolutely the worst, everytime I showed up she had the look on her face like she didn't want to take my order and never filled my coffee cup fully if I asked she would just look at me as if it was a too much difficult of a task to do which is sad we stopped going because of her I hope she finds a job that she likes one day because clearly being a waitress is too much for her.

Very nice place for breakfast in the oxnard area, food is very good and the staff is friendly, prices are also very fair compared to other places

My first time going to Henri's cafe. After many years passing by. My kids asked to go after their soccer game. Their service was quick. We were sitting down quickly and our food was brought to us relatively quick as well. I will be coming back again.

I stopped by and got three breakfast burritos to go. Being $14 each I would’ve expected them to be a little bigger but overall was not bad. Tasted pretty good as well.

Got carryout here. Got the Jenna's omelet with turkey, tomatoes and onions. The omelet was just ok. The hasbrowns were overcooked and melted into the styrophome container producing a toxic effect that is likely carcinogenic. Meanwhile, The biscuits and gravy were unedible...as they were goopy and nasty and smelled and tasted of old dish rags. I Would NOT come back here and would be hard pressed to recommend it, But the coffee was very good.

Was waiting to get my car done and they recommended this place. Great service they keep your coffee refilled! My son loved his steak and eggs snd biscuits. They have a bunch of great specials and they let you substitute the bacon for turkey bacon at no extra charge! My Belgian waffles were great. The eggs come from happy local farm raised chickens and you can taste the difference! Generous portions! We will be back to try something new.

Hot chocolate 10/10 Will come back for just hot chocolate if we ever do. More of a 1x visit for us. The food isn't what I expected when I ordered. It is tasteful the steak and egg. However the sandwich was pretty bland. Is a good 1st time try to experience. Don't think we will go back tho. They did check up often though that was nice.

This is one of the most consistent things in my life--Henri's. I frequent this place on the weekends, and even at their busiest, they do a great job serving, making sure your coffee cup is filled, and are so friendly. I always get a big smile and hug from my favorite server. I get the pancakes eggs and bacon and I haven't found a place that has as fluffy and flavorful pancakes. Nice portion and good syrup too. I love a diner style breakfast joint that keeps it simple but quality.

Came in here to visit and try this small mom and pop restaurant for the first time. I wasn't impressed. Staff was rude the moment we walked in. We were told to wait despite there being various tables open. But we patiently waited. When we got sat down, we got told our drinks would be taken soon. Our waiter never showed up after 15 minutes I decided to get up and ask if we could get our order taken. I was told to please sit and wait. I returned to my seat and my kids and I continued to wait. When the waitress came she was upset to be taking our order, took our order and our drinks didn't arrive until our food arrived 15 minutes later. Over all to sit and wait for our food was about 40 minutes total. When she was putting the drinks down, one of them tilted and spilled on my daughter. The waitress did the biggest sigh and left to go get a rag. I grabbed as many napkins as I could to clean up the table to make it less difficult for the waitress but when she came she said we needed to be careful as I we spilled the drink on purpose. My kids were hungry so we ate but I will never be returning to this place again.

Looking for an old school diner vibe with great food? Stop in to Henri's on your next time out. The whole set up reminds me of an easy simpler time. Today I opted for counter seating to enjoy breakfast. Food was delicious. Quick service and always a topped off cup of coffee. I enjoyed meeting Fatima the General Manager. She runs a tight ship, and it shows with all the nice hospitality. Great place to bring the family. Enjoy, friends.

The customer service is the best! Ladies are very respectful and friendly. Food is great, nice place to enjoy a cup of coffee and enjoy the view of 5 points in Oxnard Ca.

Pretty good breakfast place. Generous portions. The place is a little small but not as packed as other places. Hardly ever a long wait.

Awaiting car repairs...I decided to dine at a local mom and pops cafe down the street. Henri's Cafe was the name of the local diner. My daughter and I wasn't escorted to the table. The lady greeted us near the entry door and told us just take a seat wherever. We sat in a booth and I notice the place wasn't the cleanest. I ordered a 6 piece chicken wings as appetizer and grilled salmon salad as the entree. My daughter had cheese quesadillas along with French fries. The service sucked and could be a lot better. The taste of the food was not enough to patronize this business again. This place needs strong leadership and a little love and care and could actually have the potential of being a great diner due to its location.

First time coming and can't say the food was superb, but can't say they were bad either for a cafe. At a busy intersection, getting to the lot itself will take some patience as the lights take a while. There is a small parking lot on site. Upon arriving, we were told to sit anywhere along this side of the wall. Once seated, we were asked for drinks and they came promptly. We ordered their specialty dishes - meatloaf with clam chowder (added) and the wife did country fried steak. Appearances, the food is decent looking. The winning visual I thought were the plates. There is just something about eating on nice heavy plates at a diner that is appealing to the experience. For the meatloaf, I quite enjoyed it. Strong meaty flavor with diced celery and carrot pieces inside. The carrots and celery could have been diced more finely for better visuals, but it was fine as is. The mashed potato and steamed veggies were average. Not much taste to the veggies and the potatoes were on the dense side of things. The gravy was a bit salty, but it wasn't too bad as the potato and veggies were on the blander side. For the country fried steak, I'm told it was okay. The batter is a bit different and the chicken inside reminded her of chicken patty instead of a chicken steak. For the clam chowder, it wasn't bad. Had decent quantity of ingredients and a nice creamy texture and taste to it. The garlic bread that came were spicy. I'm not sure if that is intended, but we think cayenne was sprinkled on top instead of garlic powder. All in all. The food is pretty average. Even though I liked the meatloaf, everything else was mediocre at best. It is what a diner gives for quality and quantity, but they aren't terrible at least. Nice to have once in a while to change the pace/taste buds perhaps. Worth a try to formulate your own opinions.

Greeting felt genuine. Smiles all around and seated quickly. Food was great and served quickly. A great diner experience

Stopped by around 11am and was craving bacon, eggs and hash brown. Ordered the 2x2x2x2x2 breakfast and it was very tasty. Prices were reasonable as well and the service was friendly.

This place always leaves me satisfied it's a classic breakfast spot. They keep the coffee filled and fresh the staff is always friendly. The food comes fast portions and prices are good. Very clean restaurant and I enjoy watching all the cars and people of the five points. One of my favorite go to breakfast spots

This will be our new brunch spot. The food is a bit better than the other breakfast places here in Oxnard. Also, this is a homegrown business which will definitely get my support. Service is good even during rush hour. I can't wait to try the rest of the dishes.

tbh this breakfast was mid for the price and wait time i asked for an omelette with avocado and cheese and litterally they just put the square cheese right over and let it melt super mid thing to do

Great place, food was delicious, wonderful service and great prices. Breakfast is served all day. They have plenty of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as a great kids menu. We will definitely be back.

Great place to stop in for a breakfast or lunch. The service is quick, and the atmosphere is homey.

This place is always crowded for a reason....fantastic food for a fair price. They keep hitting the mark time after time.

This place is a gem Classic atmosphere Genuine food Just hearty and original, no pizazz Enjoy yourself at the bar and watch them cook Prices are fair Coffee is fine Food is good Give them a try, they don't disappoint English and Spanish speakers Lotto vending machine Plenty parking

Good service. Friendly people. Good food w nice variety. We were just driving by but it will be a recurrent stop in the future .

gross hair in my food and everything was mediocre. zero class. I'd rate it far below a dennys. unfortunate waste of mone.

Food was mediocre at best and restaurant does not have a working website with a visible menu at all... Maybe it's time to get current a little bit.

Food was terrible- especially the sausage and bacon so dry and so small don't know how people can put up with that! Haven't they tried any British breakfast?? Cafe was alright. Pancakes was alright. Service was warm and kind. Please upgrade the food. Or maybe the locals already get used to it?

A very nice place with great customer service. The food is fresh, the waitstaff is very friendly and the patio is comfortable.

Excellent breakfast food and superb service. I got the eggs, bacon, toast, hash browns and fresh fruit. It was dynamite!

Been going here for years! And it never seems to disappoint with their service and food. Priced very accordingly!

The environment, staff, cleanliness, and speed was great! Only thing I can complain about was the food, it wasn't the best but it got the job done. Coffee was good as well, with the waitresses coming by often to make sure I was filled up.

The whole experience here was amazing. I had the spicy Hawaiian sandwich with onion rings and ranch and my GOSH it was good. It was so fruity with the pineapple and peppers and the perfect level of spice for me (hot, but i wasn't sweating).I was comfortable, the portions were filling, and the quality was high. On top of how good the meal was, my server - Alejandrina, was so friendly and warm, and surpassed all of my expectations with how much she clearly wanted to make my dining experience too notch. Will definitely be coming here again next time i'm in Oxnard.

Good food I've been here once or twice my whole entire life and the restaurant been here a whole lotta years

Came in to have Bfast, and once I saw the name Henri's I thought it was going to be related to the one in the SFV, and ring ring ring, same menu just different workers!!!!.... As I sit here , I've waited 20 mins to get a refill on coffee, waitress hasn't came once to check on us , we had to get the buss boy to refill the coffee and get a water , , no acknowledgement it's the worst at a restaurant .. And is 40 mins now, and still waiting , no food ,no acknowledgement, and NO is not that busy, so they can't use that as an excuse I can honestly say I won't be coming back here just due to their service, instead of gossiping and maybe recovering from the hangover they should focus on their customer service skills!!!.... ‍‍‍

Came for breakfast Sunday morning we've been here before the renovations after the fire Food was really good he service was okay but we couldn't even really enjoy our breakfast for one very important reasons the size of the table it was 4 of us all adults I could not believe the size of the booths here trying to eat it's a challenge (see picture)

My go-to breakfast stop for years, when I lived close by. I still try to make it there at least once a month. Their Spanish omelette is the bomb!

I came in on my lunch time12/11 at 12:45 pm and waited over 25 minutes for my food to be prepared. When I asked the waitress why it was taking so long she stated that she submitted my order right away but the cook didn't have help. The cook made other tables order before mine. He made my food super quick when the waitress asked him. My fries were soggy and my sandwich was salty. When the waitress asked the manager to come and speak to us. She stated that what did she want her to do. Then the manager continued to chit chat with the cook (using profanity in Spanish) who was behind 4 orders.

I was on my way to work and wanted to get some breakfast. I usually drive by this Cafe at five points in Oxnard and thought I should give it a try. Henri's has been here for quite sometime. Walking in, I was greeted by the waitresses and they told me to sit where ever I liked. I sat at the counter. The chef was really cool and accommodating. I could tell he was busy and was on point with a his orders. He sure knew what he was doing. I ordered the 12oz New York Steak and eggs. It was delicious. I also had grits and some toast along with with it. Long story short, I was satisfied and would definitely love to come back again soon!

I've been meaning to try this place out for some time. It's prominently located at a major intersection, so you'll probably notice it if you drive around Oxnard. I thought the breakfasts here were pretty nice. I had one of the special combos that includes french toast, 2 eggs and 2 slices of bacon or sausage, all for $8.99. The french toast was made with thick egg bread and was light and fluffy. They also offer turkey bacon or sausage as a lighter alternative to pork.

This is one of our favorite spots for breakfast. Good food good service good value. Today I ordered the Country Boy with a side of bacon and was excellent. My wife orders a basic breakfast usually (she's not a big breakfast person) she says the Hamburgers are really good. Alejandrina was our server and she was nice and on point.

Love this place, all the important things I love about going out to breakfast, food is amazing, coffee is good, service is great, not a long wait, staff always smiling and happy,

Great service! The staff is very friendly Quaint jewel in the heart of Downtown Oxnard ohh and the food is so good

This local family-style restaurant in Tehachapi continues to serve great tasting quality breakfasts and lunches in our community. My wife and I continue to support Henery's Cafe during the worst of times in our current pandemic. Come snow, rain, or shine, Andrea and I find a way to enjoy their wholesome menu fit for a king! Dennis & Andrea Turkish

Staff has good costumer service, but the food has no taste. The beans in the chillakiles plate had no flavor at all. The chips were not fresh and the potatoes were plane.

This is the second visit and the experience is not satisfying. The food was rushed ..Not the best. My husband order a3 way omelet and was taken back twice . 1st wrong cheese 2nd they removed the incorrect cheese off the top and left the incorrect one inside. Lastly the third round no bacon and slightly burnt! Who prepares food to be served like this? My country special dish wasnt delightful. My country potatoes were old.. hard and chewy. The gravy poured on the steak heavly.. I wasnt able to enjoy as much. However Ms. Amanda our server was "amazing ". She showed empathy and Professionalism. I rate her service a 5 stars.. At the end Amanda saved the day! Thank Amanda !!!!!

The services it's always great paty the waitress it's very good servers she always treat with a great attitude and always caring for the guess definitely 100% service

clean and bright, good American food, pleasant people, good service, efficient - good breakfast therapy

My absolute favorite breakfast place! The employees always super nice, friendly and most importantly happy. Don't forget to grab a mimosa! Delish.

Legit! If I had to describe Henri's in one word- legit, would be that word. I've lived in Oxnard my entire life and I don't know why I JUST tried this place! We went around peak hours (noonish) and had about a 20 minute wait. Not to shabby! One downfall about this place it's a little too compact. The tables don't have much space but I didn't mind it once the food came out. I ordered the 2x2x2x2x2 (I actually don't know how many 2's there were but it was ALOT of food for one person). It was soooo good! It's hard to find restaurants that can pull off breakfast (that doesn't seem very Denny's/IHOP). This place is legit. The order came with 2 eggwhites, 2 bacons, 2 sausages, 2 pancakes, 2 french half toasts, and hash-brown. I also got a mimosa (it was alright; could have used a tad more OJ). Definitely coming back again to try different items on the menu! The service was pretty good. The waitress was attentive and patient with us. Food came out right away (less than 7 minutes despite how busy they were). Overall, it was a lovely brunch experience. If you guys want a place to with delicious breakfast, go here! And wait! They have chairs outside and the weather is always beautiful here in Oxnard!

This review is mainly in regards to take-out. I placed an order for my coworker and myself. I got a Denver Omelette with a side of fried jalapeños (chiles toreados) and he got chili cheese fries. Was told pickup would be ready in 15min. Went in after time was up and the girl at the counter told me everything was ready minus the toasted bread. So I waited for another 15min since she had to deal with another table who's bill was off (or so it seemed from my point of view). Once my order was complete I paid, left a tip, got the bag and left. Got to work and first thing I noticed, no deep fried jalapeños (chiles toreados). Next thing I noticed, home style potatoes were not extra crispy after I specifically requested this. Toast was not cut in fours (no biggie). The omelette seemed just a tad bit over cooked. Flavor was great as always, but overall take-out experience was not the best. I have included a picture of my meal for you to judge.

What would Fathers day be without being taken out to breakfast. Me the wifey and one of my daughters were getting a late start on fathers day and could not find a place with a less than 45 min wait... poor planning on our part. Then we called Henri's and the took our reservation and it was only a 25 min wait and we were 20 mins away We showed up just in time to get seated! SWEET! We ordered of food and it was out pretty fast for as busy as they were. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs all cooked to the perfect crispness and flavor. Elizabeth had the hash and eggs also on point Sam had scrambled eggs with biscuits and gravy. the food was good and we all left in a food coma. me thinks we have a new breaky spot

This is the only place that serves the best Grilled Liver and onions in Oxnard. Excellent Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs breakfast

Just awesome! The cooks are amazing! Super delicious food, another level w their grilled jalapeños and poblanos , whatever they grill their french toast with, some kind of cinnamon deliciousness! Get there before 9 or busy busy! Sit T the bar to watch the amazing cooks in action!

I was really on the fence on how to rate Henri's, because while the food was good and deserved a 4 star in my opinion, the service was a miss and dropped it down to 3. We arrived at 9:30 on a Sunday, and we were totally cool with waiting as there were 3 large groups in front of us, but what i noticed right away was the staff did not engage with the customers, you were pretty much on your own when you got there, it was a bit chaotic because people were letting kids run a muck while they noshed on their breakfast (these are the moments I'm glad I don't have children) and my Dad tried to speak to the waitress who stood behind the counter and she turned around and walked away without even acknowledging him. After being ignored by the waitress, My Dad put our name on the list and we waited... and about that, they have plenty of space to install some nice benches so people have somewhere to sit while they wait to be called, something they should really look into, as it would show the customers they care whether you stay or go. Once we were called and seated I realized just how loud this restaurant is, with the televisions going, music playing and people talking it seems to reverberate on the walls, so much so it's hard to hear yourself think, let alone the waitress who came to our table and didn't hear half of what we ordered. The positive of this review is that my Dad who is the worlds pickiest breakfast eater (very high standards) got perfectly browned hash-browns just the way he likes them, and they excessively buttered his toast (a heart surgeons dream come true) just the way he likes it. We never got refills on our beverages and both of us had no desire to stay after our meal was complete. I asked him later would be go back, his answer was a big fat No, he didn't like the noise factor and he didn't feel like the staff really care. As I read this, I realize how grumpy I sound throughout this review, so that alone tells me that my first time at Henri's was more than likely my last.
