Henny’s boasts 40+ years of excellence. Well, maybe 30 years ago, but certainly not now. First of all, stale bread, and I do mean stale. Then, Stuffed Clams, which the menu said were famous. They must have meant famous for the least amount of clam. They were all bread, not freshly made as stated, and as bland as could be (which will turn out to be standard here). Next, a salad so small that I should have saved the mixed greens that my clams were nestled in. They were drenched in salad dressing as well., the most tasteless Thousand Island I ever had. My $37.00 entree of Surf and Turf was so wrong is so many ways, I couldn’t believe that this place is actually supposed to be popular. Fresh green beans (the only veggie choice) were tasteless and overdone. The filet, ordered medium-rare, was totally rare. While admittedly tender, I can’t figure out how they managed to completely rob it of any beefy taste. The only tasty thing on the plate was the garlic mashed potatoes and that’s because of the heavy-handed garlic. The lobster tail was not underdone, but raw! I told the server, he said he’d have them prepare another, brought back the same one, and just winced when I told him it was still raw in spots. No offer to remove it from the bill, no reporting it to the owner/manager, nothing. If you’re at the Southern Jersey Shore and you see an ad for Henny’s, save your money. You’d be better off with a hot dog from the Boardwalk. What a waste of a hundred bucks!!!
