The girl at the Sleep Inn said there was a Mayflower Restaurant nearby, but we couldn't find it. We finally had dinner at the Western Sizzlin for $19.50. Bob left a $4.00 tip, which I thought was a bit much, although the girl did bring us extra lemonade.
Favorite Dish: I had the 8-10 oz. steak which came with salad, potato, bread and dessert - it was the $9.99 special. Bob had a smaller steak. We could also have had JUST the buffet for $7.79 each.

Favorite Dish: I had the steak special (8 oz ribeye with a side of spaghetti) and Bob had ravioli. The dinner for two (no drinks, no dessert) was $23.06

We ate here one night when The Silo had just opened after having been renovated. Apparently, this is under Ribeyes now. The place was rustic with ancient beams and antiquated construction.
They serve lunch from 11:00 to 2:30 pm. and dinner after 4:00 pm
Favorite Dish: I don't remember and didn't write down what we ate.

We saw this place with the intriguing name, but it was not meal time and it wasn't open. Plus it would have been difficult to park.
Favorite Dish: We didn't eat there

We drove around Henderson the night of Dec 26th trying to find somewhere to eat. The restaurant next to the hotel was closed. We couldn't find either of the other places recommended here on VT. Finally we came to this place, and it was open, so we ate here.
Favorite Dish: I had General Chan's chicken, which is similar to (or the same as) General Tsao's chicken. I asked for it medium spicy and it was pretty mild. The tea tasted like the tea in most chinese restaurants - like it was brewed out of cigarette butts.

Favorite thing: My ancestors grew tobacco and started a tobacco warehouse business. Tobacco was one of the principal businesses of Henderson.
According to the town website
Realizing the need to preserve and restore its wonderful history, the City of Henderson sought designation as a North Carolina Main Street City and gained that status in 1986. Composing 16 square blocks and occupying approximately 46 acres, Henderson’s Central Business Historic District is a testimony to the city’s role as the largest town and seat of Vance County since 1881. This district was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The district contains 128 structures, 97 of which are contributing structures. Architectural detailing gives the district a remarkable turn-of-the-century appearance.
Fondest memory: So you can drive down the main street and feel a little like you are in a turn of the century NC town

Favorite thing: Henderson is the county seat of Vance County in north-central North Carolina. The city features a busy main street area around Garnett Avenue with various distinct residential neighborhoods, and is known for its historical fire station clock tower. United First Methodist Church steeple can be seen nearby.
The fire station located at 205 North Garnett Street was built in 1908. This structure is in use but is under going some renovations. The clock in the tower is still operable and chimes every hour. The apparatus floor still has cracks in the floor, where the horses were housed and their urine was able to drain away. The side door on Young Street still has rounded granite corners, so if the hubs of the horse wagon hit them going out of the door they would not get stuck. The inside of the clock tower still has hooks, which the fire hose was pulled up to the top for drying. Of course the shiny brass slide pole still stands.

Favorite thing: My mom was born in Henderson. Her mom (my grandmother) had come 'north' with her sister to attend Western Maryland College, and met a Yankee from Pennsylvania. My grandmother traveled south to see her parents several times each year, so my mom grew up half in Pennsylvania and half in North Carolina.
My mom was named Rosalie for her Henderson grandmother (my great great grandmother). So when I was born, she named me after my two great great grandmothers.
Fondest memory: We always visited all the relatives when we went to Henderson. I never knew my great great grandmother Rosalie at an age when I could remember her, but she had nine children, and I met seven of them (not counting my grandmother) as a child. Two of my grandmother's siblings lived in Maryland, one lived in Pennsylvania with my grandmother, one was in Wisconsin, and one in Greensboro but there were still two - a great aunt and a great uncle and his wife, plus and cousins and kissin' cousins to socialize with in Henderson.
