    Wedge salad with added shrimp. I probably wouldn't get this again because there were other options that I preferred.
    Emily L.

    We came here for a girls dinner (plus my 1 year-old son) because my 5 year-old niece wanted to try a new place, and being self-proclaimed foodies; my sister, mom and I obliged. We were sat immediately even though the restaurant was fairly crowded. It was hard to choose what to get because there were lots of delicious sounding options. My sister got an appetizer - fried spinach and artichoke sticks. They were delicious! We enjoyed our dinner and our time together. Our waiter was wonderful, and the restaurant was very comfortable during our time there. The restaurant was busy, but didn't feel overly crowded and it wasn't too loud to have a conversation. It's not a huge place, but it's not cramped. We all agreed that we would come here again.

    A decent place for a wide beer selection and bar food. Atmosphere is dark and mostly clean. Service is good -- not great. We arrived here after the typical Friday afternoon lunch hour; there was still some business happening. The manager was our server ... at least initially. Another dude took over until we had an issue with our appetizer (restaurant's fault, and they owned it, though the issue pretty much caused me to lose my appetite.) Food here is cooked fresh to order. Fish & Chips and Chicken Fried Steak were worthy. Fries were also served hot and crisp. Never did get the malt vinegar, but oh well. Would I come back? Sure. But I cannot give this joint high marks after my first visit.

    Been coming here for many years. I have always received great service, cold beer, many on tap & yummy food.. YES the food is amazing.. Shoutout to Julie & Connor for excellent customer service. Fyi: they have a drive thru!!

    After stopping at and leaving one of our favorite lunch spots, J.Henry's came up first in my Yelp search. Located in a strip center, this place is pretty low key, but does have a growler fill drive through! Can't beat that! We sat at the bar, as usual. After a couple of small samples, hubs and I selected a beer from the many, many brews on tap. Most beers were from Texas breweries, which I really like. I had a salad with grilled chicken which was delicious. The veggies were cold, fresh and crisp. The chicken was warm, tender and juicy. Hubs had a fried fish sandwich which he said was excellent; perfect breading, tender and hot. French fries were thick cut and delicious. Excellent place for a beer, lunch or casual dinner. Our server was great, available as needed.

    Beer selection/prices are definitely a 5. Service is a 5 as well. Waiters were friendly and efficient. They weren't annoyed when I needed a couple samples before settling on a beer. Food is a 4. The energy here is always good. Never too loud and usually never much of a a wait. But never empty.

    My friend and I needed food after having a few drinks at The Davenport. Luckily, J. Henry's is practically next door. It literally took less than a minute to drive over. When we arrived, it wasn't busy at all. It was open seating so we grabbed a booth, and the bartender came over quickly to take our drink order. I wasn't sure what I wanted so I told the bartender the types of beers that I like and he suggested the Altstadt Kolsch. It was really good and smooth! My friend had the 3 Nations Blue Raspberry Sucker Punch. They have 51 beers on draft and most of them are from Texas breweries. You can also purchase growlers: 64 oz. for $10 or 32 oz. for $7 plus the cost of beer. The food didn't take long at all to be brought out to us. My friend had the coconut shrimp. She subbed the fries with mashed potatoes. I ordered the herb crusted salmon. It was seasoned well, but was a tad salty. The flavors were delicious though. The veggies (carrots, squash, zucchini, asparagus) were prepared al dente and were very flavorful. I really enjoyed my meal!

    Yum yum! Beers and food so good! Legit menu with more than just bar food. Wonderful service by Louis too. Hidden gem. Check it out!

    This place was a great find. It's been here a while but we just recently tried it and the food is excellent (sorry we are not beer people, we are just here for the food). Staff and service is excellent. Fish and chips is EXCELLENT . I do wish the larger tables would remain separated and only be pushed together when needed for larger groups. A few times we've been and there's minimal seating so two tables pushed together only have 2 people at them but if separated could be better utilized for 2 groups.

Of the 4 pizzas we tried, my personal ranking: 1. Spicy Goat 2. Duck Duck Shroom 3. Heirloom Margherita 4. Sweet & Spicy Pepperoni. Service was also disorganized and a little slow. I'd come back if I'm craving that pretzel.

Then she looked at me -- pescatarian, hungry -- and said, "Add the shrimp and get the crab sauce on top." Best decision I made all day. The plate didn't stand a chance. I would've taken an "after" photo, but I cleaned my plate. The staff were also super helpful with parking validation and making sure we were set.

Of them all, I really liked the hot chilli biscuits, oxtail omelette, french toast and fried green tomatoes. The hot chilli biscuits were sized more like mini pancakes. The croissant French toast was delicious and sweet enough to eat without syrup, which is how I had it. I would get the oxtail omelette or the croissant French toast myself, if I come back. For drinks we tried the Moscow mule and peach mimosas. The peach mimosa was a little medicinal tasting, so I'd recommend the original mimosa.
