About us
A family diner and old-fashioned ice cream parlor in one
Sweet Henrie's Ice Cream Parlor & Restaurant is at 1365 Gardner Blvd in Norton, Ohio, close to Barberton. Local guests describe it as family owned and operated since 1974, and it still feels like the neighborhood diner it has always been: seat yourself, say hello to the friendly staff, and settle in.
The kitchen covers all three meals, and breakfast is available all day. Mornings revolve around country fried steak with peppery sausage gravy, omelets and scrambles, pancakes, waffles, stuffed French toast and Susie's homemade crepes. Lunch and dinner bring classic and specialty burgers, melts, wraps, hot dogs, big salads and daily specials.
Then there is the parlor. The ice cream counter serves sundaes, banana splits, fountain shakes in more than a dozen flavors, old-fashioned sodas, floats, malts and sherbet cream whips, plus a list of named specialty desserts. The biggest, The Bowery Boy, piles 15 ice cream flavors and 3 sherbets into one dish meant for the whole table. Homemade pies, cobblers and apple dumplings round out the dessert case.
The dining room is casual and cozy, with outdoor seating, high chairs and a kids' menu. Beer and wine are served, reservations are accepted for groups, and parking is free in the lot and behind the building.

Guest perspectives
What guests say about Sweet Henrie's Ice Cream Parlor & Restaurant
Sweet Henrie's Ice Cream Parlor & Restaurant averages 4.5 stars across more than 960 Google reviews. Regulars call it their weekend breakfast spot, and the country fried steak with peppery sausage gravy is recommended again and again. Guests also praise the Western omelet, French toast, strawberry cream cheese crepes, quesadilla burger, coney dog with the works and open-face roast beef dinner.
Portions are a running theme. Several reviewers say plates come out full and filling, and one table admitted they had no room left for ice cream, promising to have dessert first next time. Others describe neighboring tables with huge sundaes and the biggest mug of root beer they had ever seen. Prices are described as fair and economical.
Service is fast and friendly, with servers like Amanda named for handling big church and work groups smoothly. The main caution is that the room is fairly small and can get busy and noisy, especially on weekend mornings, so arriving early helps. A note for anyone reading older reviews: cards are accepted now, not just cash.
