Henny’s returns to Stone Harbor as take-out place
STONE HARBOR, N.J. — In 2008, I was surprised to learn that Henny’s was shutting down after 75 years as a restaurant. The story back then was that they got a deal they could not refuse from a developer. Now, two years later, Henny’s has returned, though just as a take-out. I happened to walk past its 8128 Third Avenue address while I was there and grabbed a menu because I knew my folks would be thrilled. My dad said the fried fisherman’s platter was as good as it was when you ordered it in the restaurant.
As for the old Henny’s location, it is still a restaurant and not a condo development, now called the White Heron Grill. The year before it was Blackfish. We went there last year, though it was too formal for Stone Harbor — white tableclothes and high prices. One of the great things about Seven Mile Island these days is that everybody is laid back and just relaxing. Add to it that the waitress added the 8 or more gratuity with only 7 people and we were not disappointed they had to change the restaurant after just one season. The owners of Henny’s get the last laugh, they sold before the real estate market tanked and still get to sell their food.
