Henry’s Cafe

We dropped in for breakfast on our way back from Death Valley.
The food and service were both excellent. We had the Eggs Benedict and French toast with spiced apples and they were both fresh and delicious.
If we ever pass through Tehachapi again, I’ll definitely try and grab another meal here.

Great place!!!
Bathrooms are clean
Benedict eggs and vegetarian benedict eggs are great.
Service is awesome! They are very nice :)

I would love to give them six stars.
I’ve been frequenting Henry’s since 2003. The food and people are always great. If they weren’t, I would’ve found another favorite long ago. Over the past 13 years, I’ve brought family and friends here from all over the country and some from Europe. And when they come to visit they always if we can eat breakfast there. The menu addresses most palettes and the staff are friendly to everyone. The ambience is bright and the place is clean. Sometimes on super busy mornings, there might be a short wait, and parking can be tight, but I’ve always gotten a good feeling about Henry’s.

A welcome sight for us trapped travelers. Roads are closed and we needed some decent food. Service was friendly and quick.

Just had breakfast and it was so freaking good from start to finish I had to write this review asap !
Greeted and seated within 1 minute. Searles coffee within 3 minutes and gad our order asked to be taken within 4. They are on top of it here. We had a lovely server who smiled constantly and laughed alot it made it very enjoyable. I love when you’re greeted so happily the joy spreads. So the food, it was cooked so perfectly mine and his. He got the southern breakfast with the Gravy on the side and I got the 1×4 on the lighter side because I couldn’t decide what I wanted so I got one of each thing I wanted and it was perfect! We will be back. For both of us it was 20 bucks I was very pleased with this place. Fun little side note they all wear other local business owners t shirts. I just love that !

I have been coming here for years now and I have never been to a more friendly place! All the servers are always so sweet and they are constantly refilling your coffee for you (a huge plus in my book!) and checking on you! The prices are very reasonable and they have a good variety of food on their menu. The place is small so it is usually pretty crowded but we always get seated fairly quickly still.

What a wonderful mom and pop place. We were greeted right away and seated fast.
Breakfast. .yum
I had the 2×4… this comes with 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 sausage and 2 bacon. Cab we say full!
The man got the chicken fried steak, hash browns, eggs and toast.
It was just the right Size portions for him too.
The coffer was really good too. Not sure what it was but yeah!!! no heartburn from it for me!
We will be back!

The service from the staff was outstanding and genuine, the food wait time was reasonable, the restaurant was clean, plenty of parking and a cozy ambiance. Now let’s get to the good stuff: I had the chile verde omelette and it was as good as any great breakfast place in México. The coffee kept on coming and the biscuits with gravy were tasty.
Without a doubt, I have found my breakfast place and will show it off to my friends from out of town.

This place is great. The service is prompt, portions are sizable. Go here for the chile verde omelette. Coffee is really good for a diner. Not sure what they’re using though. This will definitely be an ongoing stop for us when heading east.

Great as always. We love our waitress. The food here is really good and I like the atmosphere.

This is a great place for breakfast, they cook your order exactly as you wish. Turkey bacon was great, as well as the pork chops. Only drawbacks were the home fries were pretty oily and undercooked. Wish they played music also.

My buddy and I were driving through the area and decided we needed some breakfast. I checked out Unilocal on the phone and decided on Henry’s Café. We found the place without a problem. We were promptly greeted and brought to a booth. The staff there was friendly and would have a bit of a conversation with you if they weren’t in the middle of something. I had eggs and sausage and my buddy had an omlette. Both were pretty good.
If you are driving between the Bay Area and Las Vegas, this is a great place to stop and have a bit to eat.
Good job folks.

Awesome as always! I love that you can order a half of an omelette and they give you half hash browns and one piece of toast instead of two. I always sub out hash browns for tomatoes purely for health reasons but all the food is delicious!

Great find on Unilocal,so thanks Unilocalers! We wanted somewhere to stop for breakfast between San Jose and Vegas, and this looked like a good place to try.
It was fantastic! We were greeted by the very friendly staff, given a nice booth in the back, and when the food came, it was exactly as we had ordered. The biscuit was the softest, fluffiest biscuit I’ve ever had. The bacon was dead, dead crispy, and the eggs were over hard, just like I wanted. Really delish food!
Did I mention how nice the staff were??? I think every one we passed on our way out thanked us for coming in and told us to enjoy our day. We’ll be going back on our way home!
I would highly recommend this place.

Service was good and friendly. The food was good and the French fries were hot.
I’ll be back!

We are new in town and have been trying the different local spots to eat.
We got breakfast take out from here and it was really good
I had the eggs Benedict and it was delicious.
Hubby had the biscuits and gravy breakfast and it was really good too. The biscuits were so fresh and tasty.
Our daughter had the kids pancakes and scrambled eggs.
We will be back again and will recommend it for breakfast.
We will try hem for lunch sometime soon too

Great, friendly service!
Delicious green chile omelet – gotta try it with those biscuits! I’d have cooked the home fries a tad more, but the mixture with chili was great. Breakfast lasts all day.

I came here Sunday afternoon for a late breakfast.
I ordered the eggs benedict & my friend ordered a veggie cheese melt.
The servers were nice enough (until I had an issue), but overall were inattentive and despite the restaurant being mostly empty, our service was extremely slow.
We were seated and sat there, menus closed, ready to order for 10 to 15 minutes before our server came up to the table. Then, from the time we ordered, to the time we actually received our meals, exactly 31 minutes had passed… which would have been fine if we had been checked on, or if our drinks had been refilled, or if the restaurant had been busy.
When I finally got my eggs benedict I took one bite and something about the sauce tasted horribly off & sour. It was absolutely disgusting and inedible. I asked my friend, and my server to taste the sauce and they agreed that indeed, it tasted funny. My server must have been new because she seemed to not know how to handle the situation and while my server was halfway panicking a more experienced, older server came up to me asking what was wrong. When I explained that the sauce tasted sour, she proceeded to tell me that «Since we go through so much benedict sauce, there’s no way its spoiled.»
I corrected her and let her know what I meant by sour, explaining that the hollandaise sauce tatsed weird, like really tart, almost like lemony/​milk and that to me, it was totally inedible. My original server offered to have them remake my meal (I declined), then the older, rude server chimed in & informed me,
«There’s no use in remaking it, all of the hollandaise sauce comes pre-​made (in a bag), so I assure you its fresh & other people LOVE our benedicts.»
Meanwhile, on the other side of the table my friend didn’t like her bland, tasteless food. The veggies on her sandwich werent fresh, the guacamole was obviously premade and the entire thing was lacking seasoning (even salt)…when she saw how poorly my complaint was handled she just decided to pay for hers and we left because we didn’t want any more confrontation.
Overall, 100% DO NOT ORDER EGGS BENEDICT AT HENRYS.
This was a terrible experience and not the first time I have had issues at Henrys… I don’t really like writing negative reviews but due to my love of food & lack of eggs benedict options in Tehachapi, I felt inclined to post this review.
Hopefully this helps someone avoid making the same poor food choice that I did & hopefully no one else will get met with rudeness when they don’t like their food.

Based on prior review had the chicken fried steak and eggs with hash browns and biscuit. All amazing! Coffee is good and staff is great. Love this place.

I like the service here and how the servers all wear different t-​shirts promoting local businesses. I must have been asked every 5 minutes if I wanted more coffee. I always do.
But the food was just… blah. It’s nothing special. My omelette was standard and the avocado (extra charge) wasn’t really ripe enough. The hash browns are dry and tasteless. My girlfriend did like her crepes though she didn’t think the fruit on top was fresh.
I know for a fact you can do far worse for food in Tehachapi… that town is in my desperate need of a really good restaurant… and I think the high reviews for this place reflect that. The food isn’t bad… but it’s not that good. Can’t beat the super friendly service though.
