1. Henry’s Restaurant

Once you’ve eaten here, you’ll definitely want to return. Relax in this comfortable dining area and enjoy homemade food at affordable prices. Try the make-your-own combo in which you pick three out of the nine appetizers, like chicken strips, mozzarella cheese sticks, or batter-dipped mushrooms. They also serve comfort foods, like the beef Manhattan dinner, meatloaf, fresh pork tenderloin sandwich, mushroom Swiss burger, or grilled chicken.

Kids eat for under $6 and can choose from chicken strips, grilled cheese, corn dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, spaghetti, or the soup and salad bar. Each kids’ meal comes with a side and a beverage. For dessert, have a slice of homemade pie, or take an entire pie home. Henry’s is located at 810 N. Locust St. and they are open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week.
