Finally got to try Henry's today after moving to the area not to long ago. It didn't disappoint! The ribs were so delicious, fell right off the bone and full of flavor. We tried the burnt ends and brisket as well, so good! Staff there were super nice and helpful, loved the decor inside too! So glad we finally made it here and will definitely be coming back in the near future. read more

Henry's Smokehouse - Regular Bbq Sandwich Plate with Mac and Cheese and Sweet Potato Casserole - Barbeque Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

Been going here for years. Got an order to go- hash plate and chopped plate. Something has changed- both bbq and hash had a bitter flavor. Never had it taste like this before. I am done. read more

Wonderful food. Was my father's favorite restaurant. It has become a family tradition.

We did takeout tonight. Normally it's really good and we have everything in our bag that we asked for. Tonight that wasn't the case. We ordered a pound of meat, three 1/2 pound sides with extra sauce. There was no extra sauce and two small cups for a pound of meat. The food was okay, but the meat was extremely dry due to not enough sauce. The bag was tied off when my husband picked it up so we could not "check" it. While we will be back, we won't be leaving without the bag being opened and checking to ensure everything is there. read more

I went in for take out. Lady at the register was nice but a bit indifferent. The two young men in the back had long hair NOT pulled back and one had a beard with no beard cover. Gross. The BBQ has always been good but was dry and cold this time. What happened???? This used to be so good. Very disappointing read more

This restaurant used to have really good food . I don't know what happened but don't waste you money. We were served cold food that tasted like it had been prepared weeks ago and heated in a microwave but not even hot. Tray was thrown on the table for everybody to eat out of with cold reheated fries. Staff was rude with a no care attitude. read more

The worst barbecue that I have ever had! It was very dry, little to no meat on the bone, the chicken smelled like fish, the potatoe salad and coleslaw tasted store bought. I do not recommend read more

Very disappointed as I love barbeque. The chicken was dry. The mac and cheese was overcooked and cold. Enjoyed the ribs and cole slaw. Not sure why I had to tip when I walked up to the counter to order, and picked it up as well. read more

Brisket Friday for the win. Quiet place but it smells amazing and looks very clean. Will come back to try other options read more

It was May 9th, 2019 when I first drove into the sleepy little town of Simposonville, SC. It reminded me so much of Mechanicsville, VA I felt instantly comfortable. My wife wanted BBQ and so whatever wifey wants; wifey gets. Henry's smokehouse seemed to be about the only option in town. Thank God for the Yelp app! Without it we would have never found this place. I got the wife on the Yelp train so that's awesome. Anyway, let's get to it about the food. I thought it was A-OK! The ribs fell right off the bone and had a pleasant smoky flavor. The sweat potato mash thing was good and the Mac-N-Cheese hit the spot! I really got a kick out of the slice of white bread and pickle. That's how they do it in Texas so it was cool to see South Carolina represent. My sister got a pulled pork sandwich along with some fries and that was also mighty tasty. Would I go back? Yes actually, it's very possible since we have extended family in the area. Keep up the good work Henry's Smokehouse! read more

Henry's was Open On July 4th, So that's a positive. A party of six of us went in to have lunch. Unfortunately, we were unable to stay, because every meat they have is cooked with tomato (BBQ sauce), and I have a tomato allergy. I asked, Chicken? Nope, it's BBQ chicken. Hash? Nope, it's made with the meats they cook in sauce. Well, okay ... so, we left. I would suggest that Henry's provide at least one meat entree with no tomato products, for a few reasons: 1) Tomatoes are a common allergen. 2) Tomatoes are a nightshade, and many people avoid them for that reason. 3) Because tomatoes are fruits, diabetics are instructed to avoid them. read more

Henry's Smokehouse - Napkins and Sauces On The Table - Barbeque Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

It's good everyday, but brisket is available on Fridays! Huge servings, and all the sides are delicious.

Pork sandwich was ok. Plenty of meat just not a lot of flavor. Sauce has a lot of vinegar. If you are not a vinegar fan this is not for you. Side dishes ok too. Banana pudding tasted from a mix. Service was ok Tables roomy and comfortable. read more

We used to eat here a couple of times a month before we moved to Piedmont. Stopped in last night for supper and UGH. The meat was so dry, as though it had sat around all day. The bread was stale. The green beans were from a can with not one speck of seasoning. And the place itself is so dirty. I looked up at the ceiling fans and was appalled. I'm not sure how it passes inspection. Won't be stopping here ever again. read more

BEST bbq around town!! That is always our go to when we are craving some bbq. Their sides are just as good as well. They give you very good portions as well. You could split one plate between 2 people if you wanted to. We don't live real close to their locations but worth the drive!! 10/10 recommend! read more

I have been a Henry's fan for years. I've only ever ate at the hwy29 one. Today I had their brisket for the first time. It was simply not good. It lacked flavor and consistency. read more

Big disappointment. Came here with my fiance to try their food as a consideration for catering our wedding. First thing, sat down to a sticky table(not dirty; table finish was sticky) and proceeded to order our food. We ordered the 3 meat(pork, chicken, ribs) combo plate and a also the bbq sandwich plate. Sides tried were Mac n Cheese, baked beans, potato salad, and sweet potato casserole. Food came out literally 2 min later. First sight looked good but the ribs were barely warm, dry, very plain tasting and didn't seem fresh. The chicken was over cooked to the point it turned to a paste-like consistency once in your mouth. The pulled pork was ok at best and required sauce. Baked beans were very basic off-brand canned beans...nothing special. Same goes for the Mac n Cheese. Potato salad was good but nothing fancy. We didn't eat but a few bites before concluding we would not chose this as an option for catering our wedding. I wouldn't return as we couldn't even finish our food because of the items explained above. read more

Just didn't live up to the hype that everyone else is posting about. I thought the food was bland and needed more flavor. Service was fast and positive. Place was kind of dirty and could use remodel. read more

Folks came back to Henry's for some Good BBQ and was not disappointed!!! Very Good as the last time and the Service was too. Now I really need to start trying other places but this place is the One I like the most!!!! read more

Barbecue-and service-are great! I usually call in my orders and they are usually timely!

It's like the kind of bbq you got growing up as a kid in the 90s. Not bad. I don't mind the place. Good prices and quick service.

By far these are some of the worst ribs available in South Carolina. When we got our food, the ribs were cold and partially uncooked. Also, the tables were extremely sticky and the restaurant I don't think has been clean since the late 80s. I just wish we picked a different restaurant to eat at. We left most of the food on the table. read more

As a Southerner I am insulted. If you are not from the South and want to experience even mediocre barbeque.. don't come here. It was flavorless and cold. The only hot thing on my plate were the fries and they weren't even salted. Beans.. they definitely came from a can, and judging from the temp and lack of seasoning, they were poured directly from the can into my bowl. My daughter had hash and she said it was just "okay".. The place was not dirty, but it's tired. Could use some updates. Lack of updated tables, floors, and paint makes it look dirty. This ain't how you do a barbeque joint. read more

Ordered 1/2 of ribs and it was burnt, black and tough as leather. Sides average at best. Place was dirty stunk at back. One and done for me!

Only good thing was the service. Ordered the smoked chicken plate. Two small little chicken breast came out. Absolutely no flavor!! My wife got the chopped pork, rice , and fries. No Flavor either. She decided not to even eat hers! read more

3.5 stars, good food, but the other Henry's has gotten them beat on everything. The service was really good for a Togo order and they did fix me a good plate, not bad..I would come back if I'm in the area, just wouldn't put it on my schedule. read more

Henry's Smokehouse - Mixed Sampler. - Barbeque Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

My kids are straight up L-A-Z-Y. All they do is sit around the house all day reading book after book after book. If they aren't reading they are building skyscrapers with Legos and making intricate villages replete with coffee shops, libraries, and Bed and Breakfasts. I mean, you're 8 years old! Get out of the house and get a job or something! As active and smart as their brains may be, I need to get them physically active. Basketball: fail. Dribbling off your feet and throwing up bricks isn't doing anybody any good. Soccer: fail. How about you move around and actually kick the ball instead of re-enacting the Lucy-Charlie football debacle? Tennis: don't even get me started. We have resorted to fighting in the way of karate. Why am I telling you about karate and failed athleticism when I am supposed to be talking BBQ? I'm getting there. We went to look at the karate place next door after school, and we were starving. So we stopped into Henrys to grab a quick snack (finally made the transition). We all split a BBQ sandwich and fries. I actually thought the bbq was pretty good. It was tender and flavorful. Maybe not full of smoke but that's okay. The bookworm was really digging it too. She ate the hell out of her half of the sandwich. The other half of the fam ate the fries. They are had chopped from real potatoes and taste great. A little salt was needed but I like how fresh they were. If you have lazy kids, take them to watch karate and then eat a sammich like we did. We have yet to see if they will advance past the initial rainbow and unicorn belt onto the prestigious 18 degree black belt, but only time will tell. read more

Absolutely disgusting, I threw away my entire meal. Worst BBQ I have ever been to in my life. Dry, tasteless, disgusting not to mention the place needs a renovation overhaul or better yet close it down. I will never eat there again. Safe your money pay a few bucks more but at least eat in a clean place that will give you delicious food. Sorry for being so mean but sometime truth hurts. read more

Terrible!! Burnt ribs, really?? I've been going to the one in Greenville and Simpsonville, at least once a month.I will not be returning. And I paid for that crap. read more

Henry's Smokehouse - a close up of a piece of meat - Barbeque Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

Sometimes you walk into a hole in the wall and are blown away by the food. You don't mind the dirty floors and sticky tables because the food is soo good. Sadly such is not the case here. The hole in the wall look matches the quality of the food (or lack thereof). The chicken, super dry. The ribs, did not even smell of meat. They smelled like they've been in the freezer for years. I didn't even take a bite for fear of getting food poisoning. The brunswick stew tasted like it came out of a can and then they added the leftover dry chicken into it, but a soggy shredded version. Portions are large for the price, but I wouldn't eat that if it was given to me for free. Will never come back read more

Good location. Food Wasn't very good. The person at the register wasn't friendly. I think maybe we went on an off day or something. I see a bunch of good reviews. Ours was average at best. I'll give it another shot and post another. read more

This place is good little spot to enjoy a quick lunch. The sweet potato crunch is good and the Mac and cheese is alright. The shredded pork is really moist and tender but I was disappointed in the lack of favor and the choice of bbq sauces. Personally I didn't hate it and would come back here if by chance but there are better bbq places about. read more

We are bbq nuts and have smoked our own before. If we see a bbq place we always try it so this review might be a little harder than most locals. I have tried several things from here. Pictured is the bbq sandwich, mac n cheese, and beans. All are just average at best. The bbq does not even taste remotely smoked or wood burned. The sides tasted like they may have been made about a week ago or in bulk with no love. Just blah but comes highly recommended from locals so maybe its just me. Try it and make sure to let me know what you think! read more

Great food at a great price. Ordered the famous pulled pork sandwich and it came out quick and hot. The staff was super and courteous. Super clean place including the restroom. I can see why they have 3 locations. read more

Avoid this place at all costs. Called in a phone order, arrived and called again to let them know I'm here. An hour later they tell me they aren't taking phone orders and they don't have a record of my order. This happened to multiple other people waiting in the parking lot. They have not figured out how to operate, so please don't waste your valuable time here. read more
