Henry's Midtown Tavern

We had a good dining experience! Our server, Milan was very friendly and chatty, we enjoy his service! (But wish he could be a but more attentive, as our drink was not refilled proactively due to he was busy serving customers in different sections of the restaurant). We were there on a Friday evening ~7pm, weather was nice, outdoor seating was very popular and indoor was pretty empty! Food was over good and reasonable priced. Will consider to revisit when we are in the area!

Henry’s is a great place to hang out, especially on their dog friendly deck. However, I find that their food is hit or miss. We ate brunch their this weekend. It was my first time inside and I was very underwhelmed. We were first seated at a table directly in line with the front door. When we asked to be moved the hostess was a little put out. It was crowded and very loud. Our waiter was more interested in socializing with everyone than taking care of our order and request. In addition, our friend and I had probably the Worst chicken & gravy biscuit ever. The gravy had very little seasoning, the biscuit was under cooked and gummy. The chicken was a very small (probably frozen) chewy chicken breast. Neither of us finished our meal, had to track down our server to get our check. Very disappointing experience!

One of the best restaurant patios in Midtown, maybe even Atlanta. Service is super positive and friendly. Food is tasty! Had eggs Benedict and Chicago dog. Both delicious! Fully recommended for good weather

Henry’s had a nice atmosphere, cool vibe, and the staff was friendly, checked on the table the perfect amount of times, but the food itself was pretty mediocre. I ordered some wings and I believe a couple of them were undercooked since they didn’t pull apart well and were quite pink. The ones that weren’t suspicious were pretty good. My friend ordered the Eggs Benedict, but it had a couple of eggshells in it. We sat inside as opposed to outside, at a rickety table, and we were pestered by gnats while we ate. But, for partial indoor/outdoor places like that, that’s kind of to be expected. It’s pet-friendly; I think it’s a hot spot for dog owners, because there were lots of doggies on the deck and lots of photos of them inside. So it’s probably the perfect place to stop by for a bite with your pup. (I’m not from the area, and this was just one experience.)

Great place, beautiful outdoor patio seating, absolutely loved the scenery of the city, cute dogs. Really good margaritas, very good appetizers. Highly recommend the salmon. Service was a bit slow however the atmosphere makes up for it!😍

Didn't expect to find this place but when i it popped up with such good ratings we decided to give it a shot. 4 star beer, 5 stars for atmosphere in a place that couldn't have been that easy to make inviting, comfortable, and relaxing. Super friendly staff, no food but a food truck is available and our food was welcome inside. They sealed my 5 star review with absolutely incredible value, the $8 sampler was 4 beers and included seasonal etc.

The environment is great here, it is such a beautiful spot. Our server was attentive and helpful, it seemed busy so I understand the speed of everything. I was disappointed with the food, my burger was overcooked and came out 10 minutes after my party's food. In addition the fries were on the colder side. Really cool place though and would for sure return.

Went to Henry’s for a date night. First time coming to this place. There is free parking in the back of the restaurant. We were greeted warmly by the host. Decided to eat inside but the patio/deck is really nice and romantic at night. The ambiance inside is very cute. Our waiter, Michael, was very kind. He was knowledgeable of the menu and made great drinks. Our food was great. We both got a variation of the salmon. The womens restroom was clean and fully stocked. I’d definitely go back to eat on the patio.

ugh, I hate goodbyes. I really do, especially when it's not over the ambiance or staff performance or some other misstep. Henry's is the imperfect, rabble-rousing jewel of midtown with a patio unmatched in flawless, noisy-crazy. so it's with a heavy heart we must say "farewell" to this treasured joint, definitely too soon. I know reviews are supposed to be about food, service and atmosphere so I'll oblige that: servers are sassy and usually great, lashing us with zingers and shade each time we went. I was hoppin' mad when they took the asian chicken salad of the menu. they are *so* welcoming of dogs and kids you'd think they were given, not chosen, aunts and uncles. we as a city have to be mindful of how we operate as both tenants and landlords. based on available reporting, it appears Henry's rent couldn't be agreed upon, which is a Midtown soap opera we've seen play out one too many times. just stop it. it does no good to anyone to have that useless fight (for a couple extra shekels? come on) and just nuke a favorite watering hole off the map. just like we can't and shouldn't tear down historic buildings in ATL, we can't give in to the urge for the shiny, new, flashy things that you may see in your wild imagination. we have (had) something good now. think about that before the next rent negotiations.

This was my first time at the restaurant because they hosted us after my uncle passed. One of my uncle's clients (Meredith) set everything up. They were kind enough to have appetizers on the house for us. Our server was kind and did the best he could for such a large party who was ordering food and drinks. They could have gotten him another person. Either way he was still kind and attentive. The food and drinks were pretty good. I wish we were there under better circumstances.

Had a great time at Henry's. I ordered the wings, which come by the pound and Brussels sprouts. Wings were cooked well and delicious. Brussels were very buttery, but good. I was impressed at how big the fro mosa was! And there was a good amount of champagne in there too.

Had a nice lunch here on a Monday afternoon before heading home from Atlanta. I'm so glad I found this place on my last day, as if I'm ever back in the city this will be one of the first places I go. The wings here were so good-- our friendly waiter recommended the hot honey wings and they were delicious. I wasn't even too hungry but I could have ordered another basket. We also got the BBQ pork sandwich with fries. The bbq was perfectly tangy and surprisingly not messy. The food came pretty quickly and they were very attentive to refilling waters and asking if we needed anything else. I wish we could have sat outside on the patio, but it was really windy so we opted for inside. It felt a bit dark and quiet for the middle of the day, but we still enjoyed lunch all the same.

I loved the service and the ambiance, I would love to return simply for drinks. The food was not very good, in fact the food was tasteless. It's definitely appetizing to the eyes but it's missing seasoning. I hope maybe today was a fluke but reading more reviews there seems to be a lot of people who agree with me. I loved looking at the different dogs on the huge deck outside. I really loved the location and you didn't have yo pay for parking.

Stopped by after getting nails done in the area. The drink was good I had the basil smash. The deviled eggs were ok could have used some salt. I tried the salmon burger and the first one came out still frozen/cold in the center. They immediately made it again but by that point I was just ready to go. The fries were tasty and the home made ketchup. If I return likely just be for drinks only.

We had a wonderful meal at Henry's- late night for us. They close at 11 and we got there about 10:30. As others have said, they have a wonderful enormous patio that wraps around the restaurant and is very spacious. We had the humus appetizer and for entree we had the kale salmon salad, veggie tacos, and mushroom burger with fries. We ate everything except for some of the fries. The crowd was fairly rowdy but it didn't impact us and we could still easily have conversations without raising our voices. One weird thing- there are two cocktails on the menu with the same name - "Cucumber Mint". They brought me the wrong one and were super gracious about it! Our waiter Alfonso was awesome!!

Thai Chicken Salad! Taste is good but you'll need some crackers to eat with it. Waiter was awesome.

Service was ridiculously slow! Like I can't believe I had to wait 20 minutes each time to grab a server. Everyone is short staffed so my reviews rarely comment on staffing issues but this was flagrant and without acknowledging. I was annoyed by the automatic gratuity for this reason. Anyways I like Henry's. It's one if the few remaining gay spots in Midtown and it's good to support! The food is also truly good! The place has a great vibe and music and a large patio. Even free parking! Our group enjoyed fried chicken, Brussels, salads and more.

Nice location, in the heart of midtown, and with a wonderful patio. Staff is super I've and attentive and very diligent. Food was good. Had the avocado Benedict's, and mimosas.

Decided to walk somewhere for a bite in the early evening. The place is packed on the weekends, but during the week it's considerably less crowded. Shared the deviled eggs appetizer. They were fine. The wings were tiny! Should have known better than to order wings from a place that serves them by the pound, but I had a one pound order and there were close to 20. Tried some of my partner's fries and they were just okay, as others have said they did not adhere. At least the service and pictures of dogs on the wall redeemed it somewhat.

The service was excellent, our server Charles was fun. Drinks were okay. Now the wings: $16.95/per lb! What a joke! There were 7 wings! Not crispy or good whatsoever! The blue cheese was watered down and the celery & carrot sticks were old, warm and limp. No bueno!

Wanted a fun little brunch this morning and we were not disappointed with Henry's! It had a great atmosphere, good food and reasonable prices. The only cons were our appetizer came out a tad cold and we had to wait quite sometime to get our check but it was truly an awesome place for a nice brunch. The double mimosa is so worth it and would be a great place to get together with friends!

Came here on Saturday late morning after a walk at Piedmont Park. Chose this place because they had a patio and I had my dog with me. They're super pet friendly. Several people had their dogs with them and they bring a bowl of ice water out for your dog. The kitchen was a little slow sending good out but luckily I wasn't starving. The food was good. I enjoyed the baby baked potatoes and Henry's breakfast. The Gouda grits were divine. Will probably come back again if I'm in the neighborhood.

This is a nice causal spot with great energy, a nice staff and good food and drinks. Eat solo, meet a friend or hang with your crew (grab one of the outdoors tables with the ice bucket centers if you're a group) Henry's is a very laid back and welcoming place to grab some drinks and food and I always have a nice time here

Everyone recommended this place to us, so I want to know what we missed. We sat outside -- which was lovely -- but the drinks were not great and food was just okay. The music was awesome though. I got to listen to NSYNC's greatest hits! I ordered a grey goose glittery cocktail which was terrible. I didn't ask for another one, luckily my server saw me suffering and got me something else. I'd love to go again and try something different.

The hummus is lit here. It has a pleasant taste of parsley and uses pink peppercorns, which I haven't seen before. This place needs improvement because the wait staff was terrible but nice. We were sitting around for 20 minutes before we were asked for our drinks. They brought out guacamole instead of hummus. The veggie taco had to be returned because it had crema on it, even though I requested it without. Since food had to be sent back, avoid this place unless you're getting the hummus. Additionally, the music was too loud. The waitress and my husband struggled to hear me.

I've been to Henry's a few times as I live not too far away and it's an easy option. I do love the big deck patio that offers great people watching and relaxing. Every time I've gone, the service, food, and drinks are just okay. The cocktails I've gotten are strong but not that great. The food is okay, nothing you would seek out. The service has ranged from decent to less than so. Usually it is pretty quick but not always very friendly.

It was a bit windy outside, but we had a puppy with us. My friend had the burger and Parmesan fries which looked delicious. My fried chicken salad with honey mustard dressing could have had a little more to it but it was an enjoyable meal. The waitress was attentive but not intrusive. I'm not a fan of the new scan a giant bar code to get a menu. It takes away from the initial experience. All in all an average lunch.

A friend and I missed brunch by 30 minutes at Southern Gentleman and knew we'd be THOTTING in Midtown for the evening (hehehe) so decided to come to Henry's.... :p Now, I have to say this is my 3rd time here over the course of probably about 5 years and what I ordered was simple but DELICIOUS! For starters, I ordered the loaded Nachos which was AMAZING! I'm about to go in on something so simple like nachos, but ya'll...The chip they use had a nice stiff feeling, whole chips not broken, and each chip was covered in some form of sauce or cheese. This is a great starter to just Add-On. Next was the Steak Sandwich! Another win! Huge chunks of steak, swiss cheese, warm bun and mushrooms! This sandwich was EVERYTHING! I will be back just for those 2 items.... You can't beat the location here. It's close to so many bars/clubs and prices aren't ridiculous. My only issue was the service... So much staff walking around smiling but not doing anything. We waited about 40 minutes to eat and several tables were empty. It even took them awhile to turn the tables... Just my 2 cents... Aside from that, I enjoyed myself this go around....

Terrible customer service. The waitress seemed over worked and grumpy. My wife and I came down from California For the first time and was not treated with Southern hospitality. The server even served me my drink as it was running over and dripping on her hands and on me. Then proceeded to air shake her hands to dry them off. No thanks

Ok.... Freshly arrived into Atlanta, and this guy HAD to get something good and local. First thought? The Varsity - then remembered I tried it back in pre-Covid times and wasn't impressed- then I remembered that my friends had recommended this place and made a bee-line toMidtown. After noting they had free parking - a plus, natch - I then saw this fantastic outdoor deck.....after getting out of the car I then felt the chill of the early evening air and scotched that idea- I went inside, sadly explained my "just one" when asked "how many?"; then was led to a lonely small two seat table in the bar. While the location was fine, the lack of a napkin and tableware felt,at first blush, a pointed reminder that I was a sad, lone, solo diner in an otherwise trendy and gay-friendly neighborhood. Seeking liquid sustenance- aka local brew -I asked for a local IPA on tap. What came was a can. And a glass. Apparently that was "tap" beer? I poured it out, found the taste quite agreeable, and ordered: Chicken tenders - and requested the fries be replaced with mashed potatoes- alrighty! Then I ordered Henry's Chili, which quickly arrived with cheese and red onions (!) - not knowing you, I can tell you that though I love red onions the flavor lingers in my breath for days - so do try to avoid them. But I scraped off what I could and enjoyed the apparently house made Chili - and yes, I enjoyed! But the tenders.... Not only arrived with my substitution mashed taters, but also came with French fries - not"quite" what I'd requested, but... I ate ''em anyway. The chicken wasn't memorable but both types of taters were indeed "very good". So.... Loved the location, the ambiance..... but only the chili would be highly recommended. Yet, I'd go again, as I can't wait to try the fantastic outdoor patio on a warm night.

Second time this week using my @diningoutatl Passbook this week. It's something about seeing the signatures that makes me tingle The Passbook brought me to @henrysatl tonight. The restaurant is a staple in Midtown and I've definitely had it on my list for a while now. I've been trying out salmon burgers/sandwiches everywhere lately and tonight was no exception. I ordered the Salmon burger and added bacon because....duh. lol It burger wasn't bad, just wished the lemon aioli didn't hold all the flavor of the burger. I would have liked the salmon patty to have stood out on its own. Bailey was my server. I have no complaints. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and will be back to try their brunch.

Omgggggggggggg!!!! Can I just say, I can't get enough of Henry's???? It is always a great time no matter the day or time that I go. Today we stopped in for Brunch and decided to sit outside. As always, the ambiance was amazing. A great crowd of people. Smiling staff. And, a great view. My waiter, Charles, was very pleasant and tentative to our needs, even with having a full section. He was awesome. He knew the menu and had great recommendations. The food: Diner Burger- Can you say awesomeeeeeeeee??? Omg! The burger is perfectly grilled. Very meaty. Seasoned to perfection and beautifully crafted on the plate. I'm talking pure flavor pleasure! The Parmesan fries are a great addition and provide a nice crunch to go with the 6oz Burger... I added sautéed onions and boy oh boy, they take an already great burger and elevate it to a level or mouth pleasing excitement. Oh yeah!! You've gotta try it. Drinks: Charles suggested the Pineapple/Orange Mimosa and babeeeeeeeeeeeee. When I say, you must try one. You must! It has a smooth orange flow with a hint of pineapple joy that sneaks in with every sip. You'll love it. Overall: Food: 10/10 Drinks: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Environment: 10/10

The food here was just okay. I'm willing to come back to try the brunch menu since I visited here for dinner. There was nothing that stood out on the menu, but I tried the Mushroom Swiss Burger. Instead of fries, I got a salad and was a bit disappointed at the size of the salad compared to how many fries my friends received. The burger was pretty standard. The service was good. The restaurant itself is a bit crowded with furniture.

4-star ambience, 3-star service, 2-star food. Cool outdoor Midtown Atlanta pub with a classy atmosphere, marred by spotty service and overpriced badly done food. OK, wandering around Midtown I admit we tried Henry's because it looked great on ambience and we saw a line to get into the place so assumed it must be good. Ambience was definitely the selling point: there's a hopping shady outdoor deck that's great for people watching. Unfortunately the service and food were in the Denny's to Waffle House range. Service consisted of a somewhat haughty front desk and a truly obnoxious stand-and-model type as a server. Service was 2.5 but I rounded up to 3. Food was the real downfall. Much of the meal seemed mass-prepared in some sort of commissary kitchen (strangely thin-sliced poor quality bread, etc.). The main course of Louisiana Shrimp would have made an angry Cajun cuss in French: undercooked, strangely spiced and bland at the same time. My partner's salad seemed to have been sitting out for a loooooong time (wilted lettuce and room temperature).

We came here for brunch before a football game and it was great. The outdoor patio was perfect for us and had great mimosas, which you could order with grapefruit, mango or orange juices.

This restaurant just continues to disappoint and disappoint... it use to be a gay hot spot when I moved to Atlanta but the prices just keep going up and up... the mimosas use to be $8 for a double... now $10... and today I was charged for OJ when ordering a mimosa? A mimosa is OJ!!!

I drove by this place many times and always wanted to sit outside at the patio under the trees and lights. Too bad it was quite chilly and windy this evening. Maybe it'd be better couple weeks ago, or nicer weather. Overall the view and environment is still nice. I enjoyed looking out on the road, seeing cars driving by and people walking/jogging by. Food was okay, nothing special. The crab cakes were too small and I didn't like the salad dressing so much. The mussels were okay also. I think food is alright there, maybe having wings and drinks would be better? Park, free in the back. Clean place with good customer service. I would come back to chill and have drinks with friends.

Our last day for our end of year trip, and we were looking for a spot to hangout and have last drink before heading back home, we stumbled across this lil spot which had a very nice ambiance in midtown Atlanta. Bartender was very nice I believe his name is Brant. I ordered the summertime sadness which was made with vodka and strawberry purée and my hubby had the sezerac I think that's the name it's bourbon which was a drink that Brant specialized in. Good service, nice ambiance, would recommend

This was probably the best thing I ordered but needed some hot sauce or something to add flavor.

My spouse, our puppy, and I were in the area and figured it is $10 burger Monday ... why not try someplace new. I am sure their regular food selections are good, but stay away from the $10 burger or burgers in general here, just not good! The burger was extremely small, we are talking McDonald's patty size! The fries, old as if seating on a heat lamp for an extended time. So, sent then back and ordered wings ... well, after a long wait, were informed they had no wings! WTH!!! Skip it!

Henry's is a great restaurant with reasonably priced food and a great patio. I loved the tables in the center with the ice bucket for our bottle of wine!

Excellent place for brunch. Well-priced and great service. Definitely check out their burger and wings. The environment was just right and added a sense of warmth with a modern twist to the experience.

Our server was very friendly and said it was his first day on the floor alone. He seemed to be doing a good job being set feee from being in training. The food was good and came out very very fast. I am from Buffalo NY and I am very picky about my chicken wings. These wings passed the test .

We went there for drinks and apps on a Friday evening. It's in a great location in Midtown. Free and paid parking is in the back. Everything we ordered tasted good. Nothing blew me away, but everything we ordered was "bar food". The outdoor patio is super cute and dog friendly which was awesome. The service was okay as well, just be sure to check your check for accuracy. Definitely try this place when you can.

This place is objectively bad. The vibes of the outdoor deck are beautiful, but don't let them fool you. The servers, while friendly, are absolutely useless. It took 30 minutes for water to be poured and get our order in, another 45 to get our food, and had to ask three times for the check. If you think they were just busy, you'd be wrong. There were 8 tables with people in total and 3 waiters. When the food finally arrived, it was nearly inedible. Lacking in flavor and cooked inconsistently. If you can, avoid Henrys at all costs.

My son, husband and I stopped by for lunch on our way to Piedmont Park. With its vibrant patio, and great Midtown location, it's a great place for food and drinks on the way to the park. The food was great and the staff was friendly and attentive. We'll be coming back!

Sat down for a nice afternoon brunch at Henry's on a Saturday ....FAIL! although quiet and not crowded...took us about ten minutes to find someone who worked there and would even seat us. Once seated, it was another 10 minutes before anyone even approached us to offer a beverage and/or water...to which they never came. Maybe 6 parties seated total -- and they left us hanging. Another 5 minutes went by, and I decided to bring my business elsewhere. Needless to say we left and will not be heading back. -$tevie J

This was my second time at Henry's and unfortunately this experience wasn't as great as the first. I believe our waiter was new so I gave him some grace, but 20 minutes passed by and no one came over to take our order or even offer us water. I was about to leave when I noticed a server at another table and I flagged them down to take our order. I ordered the avocado hot dog which came with parmesan fries and my drink of choice was the delirium tremens beer. All of the above was delicious and the food is very affordable. My meal was around $6 and my beer was $10. The atmosphere is great, especially if you're sitting outside on the deck because there are plenty of trees to shade you from the hot summer sun. Parking can get a little tricky because there are very limited free spots. If the free spots are taken there is an additional parking lot behind the establishment, but you have to pay to park there. All in all the food and atmosphere was great, it was just the service that was off that day. Regardless, I would still recommend going and checking them out!

I went here on lunch on a Monday. They have a 10 dollar burger special, but the burger is relatively plain. The fries are tasty, but everything else about this place is average. Also the service is alright. Our food took a long time to get to us too. Very average.

Loved the outdoor patio seating; it's also dog-friendly-they brought water for my friend's dog! We were seated right away on a Friday night. I shared the baby baked potatoes for an appetizer-these were the best item on the menu I tried, and I highly recommend! They're stuffed with pork and topped with bacon, queso, and sour cream. It could be a meal in and of itself! Everything else about my experience was just ok. Brussels Sprouts: I ordered a side of brussels sprouts but they were wayyy to buttery (i think it was butter, didn't just taste like it was roasted with oil) so they were greasy, and I didn't want to finish them. Grilled Fish Taco: not worth it for $4.95! the taco is small and they doused it in the jalapeno mayo-I couldn't even see the fish. Our waiter was unattentive and when I forgot to ask for corn tortillas and it came out on a flour one, I asked to change it to corn or a lettuce wrap and he said they were out of corn before going to check. So then I told him to check and then he brought it back out on a corn tortilla. We waited forever for our bill, and had to ask other waiters to get our waiter and to refill our water. Probably won't come back; maybe just for drinks next time.

Great cocktails great food and Charles our server is the bomb! Only issue is where we sat on the patio next to the server station it smelled like a dumpster in fact a trash bag leaked and trash juice ran down the patio. When I said something to the manager he said " I don't smell anything" really! He gave a nasty attitude when saying it. If your guests says it smells it does! So he wouldn't do anything to kill the odor.

It was solid. Nothing amazing. The service was good. I had the potato appetizer, that was very good. The deviled eggs, NOPE! DI don't get the hype over those. I had a basic breakfast and it was good. The biscuit was huge. I was soo full, I never had the chance to dig into the biscuit. If I'm in the area, I'd go back, but not making a special trip from Vinings. There are enough breraksfast spots near me.

Came in to this place because there weren't any other options but seem pretty dirty in the inside, but we got a table outside and it was better. Waited +20 mins for the waitress to come to us even though they weren't even that busy. We stayed to give them one more chance and instantly regretted. She put the food in and I ordered roasted chicken taco but I got looked and tasted more like nothing. I see the ingredients but it has no taste, it's just spicy and it doesn't even taste like there's salt in it. It looks like something I could've prepared at home and it would've tasted a lot better. Then i complained about my food the waitress said "I'm not the kitchen so.." i don't know what kind of response is that. Horrible experience. I can't believe a place like this is even open. Everything is very average and distasteful.

I was super skeptical about coming here but it was late and it was the only place open within walking distance! What a pleasant surprise! Emma was such a pleasant and amazing waitress , her suggestions where on point and I never had to ask for anything... she was always on top of it! food and service was top notch and far above the 3 star review and our expectation . My wife's food and her desert was extremely delicious and so was my food choices. Have the Parmesan fries I think they might be the best I've ever had! Tacos were good and the hot dog as well! The fries , the frozen margarita and the apple pie and ice cream were 5 star like. Do yourself a favor and if you are in town don't let that 3 star review fool you! It's a 5 star place from the ambient, food and service. Next time we are in town we will be back ! Love it

Was attempting to go to a different restaurant, but there was a line, so we ended up at Henry's on a Sunday morning. We sat outside on the deck. The chicken and biscuits was delicious. And my date devoured her tacos. Service was good. Parking is $$$

Well, this place certainly has gone downhill... Service was spotty, but I understand the labor shortage. What I can't understand is all of the staff walking by a table for over an hour refusing to bus anything because "it wasn't there job". All they did was add to the pile of dirty plates and glassware. Next issue was charging $2.00 for ice with each cocktail. Are you Kidding me??? This wasn't artisan ice either. Just. Plain. Ice. Chicken wings also undercooked. Stay away. Only thing good about Henry's now a days are the cute dog pics on the wall.

Good food, kind servers with good recommendations for nearby gay bars. Felt very LGBTQ friendly and had a nice atmosphere.
