Is it just me, or are 95% of breakfast places either coffee and croissants, or something loaded with fats, carbs, and hopefully some proteins. There could be four-and-a-half blueberries on top on the pancakes... but is this really material? No. Enter m.henry. There are two things I enjoyed about the Potato Knish Benedict. First, the hollandaise was enjoyable. Too many hollandaises are heavy on the acid, and light on the savory. m.henry's was towards the savory side, and not disguised lemon juice (or worse, vinegar). Only one other place I've tried thus far has been able to create a passable hollandaise is The Farmer's Daughter down in Easton. I have no complaints about the egg, other than eating them in this and age makes one feel like royalty, but I digress. The Knish cakes themselves were not my cup of tea. They are made of a blend of potato and fontinella cheese. This combination comes across as being sharper than I feel it needs to be. While I appreciate what they were trying to do, this is not a dish I would order again. The star of the show, out of left field, is the salad. The blend of veggies was well thought-out, and I enjoyed both the dressing and the way it was dressed. This salad is what made m.henry feel like a different experience that wasn't all carbs and fats. The vibe inside is that of a cute cafe, but larger. The service was attentive, and surprisingly fast considering how busy the restaurant was at the time. Finally, in light of the cost of everything (especially eggs), I think the prices were more in less in line with the market. Thus, m.henry does a unique breakfast well, the ingredients were quality, and the service was excellent. However, I don't feel the immediate pull to return that a truly great (i.e. 5-star) experience would give me.

Nice atmosphere, cozy place, good service, and good food. The shrimp & corn cakes with poached eggs topped with hollanndaise were an interesting combination and really good. Big portion, took half of it home. Decent coffee.

M. Henry in Andersonville is hands-down my favorite brunch spot in Chicago--nothing else quite hits the same! If you want the best of both worlds (breakfast + lunch), go on a Saturday when their full menu is available. Trust me, it's worth the wait. I am a total sucker for their lemon-raspberry brioche French toast--perfectly soft, slightly tangy, and just sweet enough to make you want to savor every bite. But I can't stop there. Their roasted veggie & goat cheese baguette? A dream. Warm, toasty, and loaded with flavor. And let's not forget the lemon olive oil cake--light, moist, and the perfect way to round out the meal. Honestly, I've ordered almost everything on their menu, and I can confidently say you cannot go wrong with anything. Their dishes are fresh, well-balanced, and made with care. Plus, the cozy, homey atmosphere makes it the kind of place you'll want to linger in. Vegetarian-friendly? Absolutely. Delicious? 100%. Worth a visit (or ten)? No doubt. If you're in Andersonville (or anywhere in Chicago, really), do yourself a favor and get brunch at M. Henry.

Awesome food, vibrant and happy surroundings and a very nice server. Juan was attentive and gave good guidance! Globally inspired food that was top shelf. We'll be back!

Yummy.Yummy.Yummy! Atmosphere- homey and happy. Service- A-plus. Food- absolutely incredible

M Henry is a brunch staple and a must try in the Andersonville neighborhood. I've been coming here over the years and the food has always been consistent and delicious. One of my favorites is the bread pudding- which they currently only have available on the weekends. I've tried many of the dishes on the breakfast menu and recommend their omelettes and quiche selections. They also have menu filled with specials. They have bakery items that look sooo good and enticing which are made fresh daily. The service has always been great whenever I dine in at the restaurant and never feel rushed even if they are closing soon. The ambiance is cozy and it can get pretty busy on the weekends. Reservations are not available unfortunately, first come first serve. This is definitely a brunch favorite in Chicago and I highly recommend!

Not my first go around at m.henry and - this establishment is one of the places I try to frequent whenever I'm in the Andersonville area. Each time I come here, I leave thinking breakfast/brunch/lunch was awesome. This time was no exception. Service was great - my waiter pointed out the seasonal salad and I loved the greens tossed in tahini dressing. The avocados were perfect and the grilled chicken was super delicious. My partner got a salmon sandwich and we were amazed at how big the salmon filet was. The sesame slaw and grilled red onions went well with the sandwich and we were both super satiated and happy with our meal. One of the best brunch/lunch spots in the area!

We stopped in for breakfast the day after we arrived in Chicago based on the reviews and reputation. When we walked in there were a lot of people eating but they were able to seat us right away. The place is bigger than you think. Despite the tables being closer together, I didn't feel cramped. Their menu is inventive, blending classics with modern twists. I was debating between a few egg dishes but landed on the dandelion, leek, and shallot omelette. I'd never had dandelion greens before and heard they were bitter. The omelette was far from bitter, but full of flavor and well-cooked veg. The potatoes were nicely seasoned with their in-house blend. My partner opted for the veritable vegan epiphany and loved the flavor and portion size. He got the fruit cup on the side and we appreciated that it wasn't full of filler fruit. We appreciate how many vegetarian and vegan options they had! I'm looking forward to going back.
