Henry's Soul Cafe - Soul food restaurant in Oxon Hill - 5431 Indian Head Hwy, USA

Henry’s Soul Cafe is a cozy spot that offers a taste of southern comfort food in a welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the turkey wings, collard greens, mashed potatoes, and stuffing and gravy. The turkey wings at Henry's Soul Cafe were enjoyable, although they could have been a bit juicier for my liking. However, the star of the meal was the delicious stuffing/dressing, which had a rich, savory flavor that truly hit the spot. The collard greens, however, were a bit lacking in seasoning, which was a small disappointment. To end off my meal I indulged in the famous sweet potato pie, which definitely lived up to its reputation. The pie was a delightful finish to the meal, with its sweet, spiced filling and flaky crust. While the food on this visit could have been a bit better, I appreciate the overall experience at Henry's Soul Cafe and I will certainly visit again. The friendly service even when it was busy with phone orders and walk-ins make it a place worth returning to, despite some minor shortcomings with the dishes. One thing to note is that the parking situation at Henry's Soul Cafe can be a bit tight, and the restaurant tends to get congested, especially during the later part of the week. It's something to keep in mind when planning a visit, as it might require a bit of patience to find a spot during peak hours. In conclusion, Henry's Soul Cafe offers a comforting and inviting dining experience with its southern-style cuisine, and despite some room for improvement with certain dishes, I look forward to returning for another taste of their soulful comfort food.

If they tell you they don’t have something after you order believe them. Get a refund immediately, I was told by the cashier. After I ordered they didn’t have what I wanted. I asked for my money back and then all of a sudden the supposedly had it. This what I received and it was three orders of the same thing. The meatloaf was awful. The gravy on mash potatoes and meatloaf was totally different. Smh cause I had the food I ordered before and it was pretty decent. As I was getting my order I heard them tell another customer the same thing. I wonder how was their food.

Walk in on a Sunday and we were begrudgingly greeted by a young lady at the cash register. This lack of care and professionalism, we joked about because of this the good was gonna be good! Boy were we wrong! Baked turkey wings with gravy and stuffing- the skin on the wings was soggy like it had been reheated from yesterday and the meat dry. It came with I believe 2 or 3 pieces and I was only able to eat the meat from one. The amount of gravy was sad, especially because the skin was so loose, I thought the meat would be moist, it was not, and had a lot of feathers still on it. There was no gravy in the bottom of the container, so I had to scrape it from the wings to put it on the stuffing. The candied yams were interesting, good but had too much honey, needs a different sweetener, also kinda tasted like they came out the can. The greens were bitter and slightly under done. The stuffing, then the candied yams were the best things I ate. The sweet tea was very good, but it needs more tea bags. Fried fish dinner- fish was fried nicely and could have been seasoned a little better. The cabbage was under seasoned but tasted better than the greens. The Mac and cheese 😮‍💨...Tasted like WATER! I've had better boxed Mac and cheese! We couldn't even finish our sides because they were so bad, except the stuffing I finished that. We also got a slice of pie to try and it was tasty. The crust was perfectly baked, uniform color all around with no dark spots, burnt or dry edges. Even the back staff was unprofessional, they kept coming out to laugh and stare at customers.

I ordered Catfish Dinner. The fish was seasoned really good the yams was on point you can taste the cinnamon. The green was tasteless someone didn't season the greens at all. For dessert I picked the sweet potato pie. Ooh yeah the pie was delicious. Yes I recommend you Check out Henry's Soul Cafe. You would be disappointed... not to forget the cornbread really moist..

I’ll start this review by saying that eating healthy, quality food is important to me, so folks who normally eat here may like it just fine - I did not. The salmon cakes, while perfectly fried, were very mushy and moist on the inside because they’re made of canned salmon that have in NO WAY been properly drained. Couldn’t even finish one because of the gross, mushy texture inside tasing just like the juice in the can. Cabbage was also mushy due to being overcooked, and the sweet potatoes tasted of WAY too much sugar. Got an order of meatloaf covered in gravy, which was annoying because we didnt know there was gravy and we weren’t asked if we wanted any - we hate gravy on meatloaf. Mac & cheese was disappointing as well. On the positive side, the beef ribs, fried catfish, and baked beans were good. Service is fast but barely friendly, ordered 4 meals for a family and was out in 10 minutes without so much as a hello or thank you from the cashier, who was simultaneously arguing with the guys in the back & texting while taking our order. Won’t be returning here again though due to the quality of some of the food & service.

I just starting going back to this place and the past 2 experiences have not been good. The last time I order at the this place my fish had 2 much grease at the buttom of the tray and I went there today just to have a even worse experience they gave me the wrong sides 2 sides of potato salad the fish was old and all Small pieces and the corn bread was hard and old not even edible and only 2 of the 3 pieces of fish was edible and I still had to pick thru the pieces because some was hard i am very disappointed and will be going in tomorrow for a refund

Food was really good. Service was okay, they did not ask me for condiments so make sure you ask for them and get them before you leave.

First time visiting Henry's. The food was great! REAL SOUL FOOD! The greens were tender and perfectly seasoned, and so was the fried catfish! I also had fried okra and a slice of sweet potato pie. What a treat! The portions are huge. There was enough to save for another meal. Service was efficient, and the staff was friendly. I will recommend and visit again soon.
