This place was really good, last minute decision to try it out and I'm glad we did. The burgers were great, fries were good. Everything tasted fresh. The lavender lemonade was amazing! Service was quick and friendly! It's inside of a food court so there was a lot of people around and it was busy but we were still able to find seating and enjoy. I would definitely go back! read more

I was sad when Henbit at the Fareground in Austin closed down, but happy when I came across this location in SA. Of course I ordered the monster cookie, 2 in fact. While this batch seemed to be a bit over baked, I still enjoyed it. I'll be back the next time I'm at the Pearl. read more

Henbit - Monster Cookie - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Well, the service was quick and friendly, but the burgers were soggy, salty, and greasy. Glad we had some wet wipes. The kale salad had loads of kale and not much else, except a few slivers of avocado and topping. Noisy dining hall, but fun people watching! Glad there are other choices for next time. read more

Henbit is located smack in the middle of the food hall! We honestly chose them because it was the shortest line. Boy did we luck out! I ordered the veggie chicken sandwich and the rest of the fam got the burgers. Everything was so good and flavored so well. Everything was made to order and came out pretty quick. The rosemary fry's were so good, you have to get an order. We will definitely be back! read more

I was looking forward to being the first to review Henbit -- the new "popup" burger joint at The Pearl's food hall -- not because I craved a smattering of insincere "Congrats on your FTR!" "compliments" from strangers but because I was duly impressed and wanted my review to take the interwebs by storm. Unfortunately, I see that a fellow named John E. has beaten me to the punch. *Fortunately*, however, Mr. E.'s review focuses on Henbit's vegan "chicken" sandwich*, so I shall still be the first to regale Yelp with my fresh (and totally accurate) assessment of the main event, the outstanding Henbit burger! The skeletal menu describes the Henbit burger as follows: two patties of Peeler Farms beef, milk bun, American cheese, shitake aioli, sour pickles, tomato, onions, and red romaine. What the menu doesn't divulge is that the patties are smashed, which often translates to "hard and bereft of all juiciness." If you read my review of Tin Top Burger Co. in New Braunfels (the owner sure did...and he didn't like it one bit!), then you know how I feel about the trendy smash burger concept. In many cases, the patties are about as texturally appealing and juicy as a bulldozed hockey puck. In very rare instances, however, a burger joint works its alchemy to produce a smashed patty that's crisp and desiccated around the edges yet juicy in the middle. Such was the case at Henbit! Of course, a burger is more than just the meat. The other constituent parts -- nothing superfluous -- must coalesce, mingle, and meld into something special. I'm pleased to report, Dear Reader, that the Henbit burger -- in all its constituent parts -- was indeed nothing short of spectacular. At first, I was concerned that the bun might be too weak to withstand the juices from the meat and veggies, but it held up from beginning to end. The shitake aioli might sound like a gimmick, but it added a bold umami flavor reminiscent of *real* black truffles. The tomato and pickles cut through the richness with sweetness and acidity, respectively, while the onions and romaine added crunch. If you took a gander at my photo (which *should* be the featured one on Yelp), then you probably noticed that it includes not two but three patties. That's because I added a third for $3.50 extra. Each patty weighs only three ounces, so nine ounces of beef doesn't sound too extravagant...unless you're some kind of a wuss. I'm not sure how long Henbit will remain in The Pearl's food hall, but it strikes me as a semi-permanent fixture. Perhaps the owners are advertising it as a limited-time offering simply to drum up business. I can only speculate. What I *can* tell you is that my burger ranked among the top five in the city...and that's saying something coming from me. I go out a lot, I eat lots of burgers, and I'm super duper smart. I know of what I speak, folks, so trust me when I say that Henbit is an excellent addition to The Pearl and one of the best places for a burger in San Antonio. *Ordering a vegan "chicken" sandwich from a burger joint is like ordering water at a saloon in the Wild West...or using a slingshot in the showdown that ensues when the other patrons disapprove of your beverage of choice. read more

Burger and fries were fantastic! Fries crunchy yet a little potato taste inside. Lightly salted and almost beer battered? Burger was the fajita one with peppers and cheese. It was smash style with crispy edges but most on the inside. Awesome place in the Pearl district. read more

Order at the counter and a text message advises when it's ready. Delicious veggie chicken sandwich- the slaw is messy but makes it. Rosemary herbed French fries were fresh and tasty. Seating is communal long tables in a noisy environment but we found a seat at noon on a busy Saturday before our food was ready. Huge chocolate chip cookies remind me of a haystack- we'll plan to try one next time. read more

Conveniently located in the Pearl, the Henbit is inside the food court. You can grab a table outside our inside and they will text you when your order is ready. They offer gourmet hamburgers and fries. They were all delicious! Great to accompany a cold margarita on a hot summer or fall day in SA. The ambiance is great to hang out with friends of family. read more

Was lucky enough to be able to get here on a weekday with no line. Friendly service. Had food in hand in about 5 minutes. My only critique is that I felt I had more bun and not enough burger contents to fill it. Delicious flavor. Fries were amazing. Just wish I had either less bun or more to fill it. Delicious. read more

Burger cooked to perfection and rosemary garlic fries were delicious. Definitely recommend.

Food was great ! This was first time eating at the Pearl & Henbit was the spot that caught my eyes! Lite Wagu burger with rosemary garlic fries- sauce in the burger & on the side ( similar to canes sauce but bettttter) . Service was quick less than 4 minute wait. Friendly atmosphere. Now when I return to the Pearl this will be my go to ! read more

Food was just ok. Although supposed to be healthier for you, really no flavor at all and i'm not sure the sweet potato fries were actually sweet potato. A little on the pricier side too. read more

The burgers were extremely thin and dry. The toppings were nothing special and the sweet potatoes were over salted fried battered mess. They looked like tiny sugar cubes. $40.00 for two less than stellar burgers, one bottle of water and one order of fries. Plus tip. Much better burgers at Sam's around the corner and 100% better fries. I would never go back! read more

My husband said this was the best burger he's had in town! It must have been, because he didn't share a bite with me, lol. I did try his rosemary fries though, and they were delicious. Definitely a great spot to try when you are visiting the park! read more

Very good burger with peeler wagyu, had the henbit burger without cheese, the sweet potatoes, & a monster cookie. The burger is cravable enough to drive 30 mins for, the beef was very succulent. The sweet potatoes tasted like a 2nd order to go, they had a spicy flavor & the texture was so crispy outside & smooth inside. I want a monster cookie now, actually I want three- it was so thick but so soft at the same time. Pretty solid spot, highly recommend. I had my meal with a frizzante from the bar in the same food hall. It was a great pairing. Yummmm y'all! read more

Great food. Had the regular hamburger and the sweet potato tots. They were yummy. Forgot to take pic because was really hungry lol

I tried Henbit following someone's enthusiastic recommendation. First time visit I tried their basic smash burger, which I'd rate as "very good", but not "great". However when out-of-town visitors who like a burger place like Henbit came, they chose to go there and we each order burgers above the basic one which I have to say were "great". They were worth the extra expense, and we all agreed that they were very tasty and satisfying. Service is OK, however. They clearly try hard to please, but both times there was a small matter of confusion or a hiccup in the order. Although the wait times are long - because the line to order can be long, and because they cook on order, it is worth it. The long line is more a testimony to their popularity, and the cook time means what you are getting is freshly cooked. Besides, it is in a sizable indoor food court, and in direct proximity to a large outdoor plaza with tables, and they use your phone number/text messaging to notify you that your order is ready. If you like a great smash burger at a reasonable price, I recommend Henbit. read more

I ate here because of the two five star reviews. Disappointed. The burger had the fat taste, but lacked the meat aroma. The bun was fine and the garlic fries were crisp and tasty. The kale salad was not up to most places. The salad and dressing were meager with tiny bits of avocado and seeds, etc. The website price for the salad is $6; the posted and charged price was $11. People were nice and I'm sure they don't mind some sincere feedback. read more

Great vegan options at the Pearl! The kale salad was full portioned and the crispy quinoa, avocado dressing, currants, and pumpkin seeds made it a healthy option. The vegan chicken sandwich was deliciously coated and fried to a delicate crunch. The sweet potato fries are exceptional since they were cubed and lightly coated so they came out light, not greasy. The cooks and servers were professionals and not the run of the mill hourly employees seen at fast food places. It is associated with the Ladino restaurant at the Pearl and the food reflects it. We'll definitely be back again. read more

Great burger! Fresh, high quality ingredients, exceptional service! Sweet potato fries were fresh and perfectly cooked. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our special request! read more

The burgers are really good and pretty much the best tasting smash burger I've ever had. It wasn't dry at all, but very juicy and flavorful. The fries are a little dry, and I don't really care for the rosemary on them. Those are the only 2 things I've tried but would definitely be going back for the burger. The staff is friendly. The place is clean, but you might have a hard time finding a table if you go on Saturday or Sunday. read more

Great burgers! Wonderful fries. The waygu is as good as I've had in San Antonio. Surprisingly inexpensive. Got our food quickly, which is always a plus. Nice place at the Pearl. Would recommend. read more

We're from Temple and don't get down to SA very often but we tried Henbit the last time we went to the Farmer's Market at Pearl and my wife and I both agreed it was the best burger we've ever had. That's was last month and we were back down today. I was afraid that it wouldn't be as good but it was absolutely just as good as the first time. I had the Henbit burger w/o the garlic aioli and added a little ketchup. read more
