    Vegan burger with fried okra very flavorful tasted just like a real burger

    10 outta 10 highly recommended!!! WILL BE BACK AGAIN !!! Homemade deliciousness cooked with love. It's a nice family owned restaurant sometimes there's only 1 person working but it's never a long wait... regardless the food is worth it !!

    They say the best food come from the "hole in the wall" restaurant. Well this place.....A true hole in the wall as they say. Very friendly people and atmosphere. They were sold out of the oxtail and dirty rice so didn't get to try it. We had fried shrimp, fried okra, Mac-n-cheese and boudin balls. Everything was amazing. Would definitely go back. You get huge portions!!!!

    You will not believe how good the food is! Good old fashion, soul food cooked the right way. The service is impeccable. The atmosphere and ambience are awesome! You have to meet Chef Pepper, he is the one who comes up with these marvelous recipes, handed down from his grandmother. He has a great story to add too, the ambience of the place. Every time I have gone, I've been very pleased!

    The reviews brought us here and we had to try it for ourselves . They did not disappoint! I had the smothered pork chops with rice and gravy with Mac and cheese and yams. Bae had the fried fish and shrimp with fries and yams. The fish and shrimp were so crispy! We also got a sample of the oxtails E V E R Y T H I N G was good asf and they give you so much food! The costumer service was so welcoming and friendly. We were from out of town and they made us feel so welcome. Great food and people

They offer a variety of entrees that will keep you going back to try everything. I had the jerk chicken sandwich with the mac and cheese. The sandwich was delicious - I was expecting mostly meat, but there was corn and peppers that nicely complimented the chicken. The mac and cheese definitely had a little bit of a kick and also a bit of sweetness, so beware if you're sensitive to spice. Overall, all the flavors were delicious, The portions were definitely more than enough, and everything was reasonably priced. My order came out quickly, and they were very friendly! I have seen them delivering to various locations on UTMB campus, and they're also open to catering.

The food (ox tails, greens/cabbage, cornbread dressing) is really 5/5, it was seasoned wonderfully and the portions were good for plentiful leftovers. The live DJ was nice and music was very good. When I walked in, there was a not-so-long line, but it took forever. I can only assume they were waiting for food to be prepped before moving to the next person. It was cafeteria style and I really couldn't tell what the wait was.

It might have been a blessing in disguise Yelp recommended this place and we gave it a shot. We almost did not stay to eat because today was takeout only the staff said. We noticed chairs outside so opted to stay. We chose the baked chicken, the meatloaf and the fried fish. Our sides were Mac and cheese X's 3 ( so glad we did) pinto beans abd the green beans. EVERYTHING was seasoned nicely, the food was hot (except cornbread and rolls which was unfortunate) and quantities were perfect They did not have togo drinks today ( suggest to offer in the future). But we asked for water and they happily accommodated which was nice since we don't live here. All around it was a great experience and we will definitely recommend this place to friends and family! Food quality, temp, quality, variety and cost all a plus Staff attitude, accommodation all a plus.

First of, for a Saturday evening, we were kind of expecting that it will be crowded like it used to. But no, there was one other customer and she had hers to-go.. I thought well maybe this is just a slow night so we went ahead and ask for the menu. A young girl was at the front and she asked if we're new to Henry's and I said no . I asked if there's new ownership and she said no they are the grandkids and the grandma used to run the business. My husband went for the usual tostadas. I noticed they had a new item on the menu that I used to not see before which was the Menudo. And I went ahead and ordered that. The boys ordered a chicken fried steak sandwich and a chicken quesadilla. The tostadas are NOTHING like the pictures I posted originally. Tostadas were smaller, the beef tasted super salty. The rice that came with it barely has any flavor. The refried beans tasted like it just came from a can. The signature white sauce was also nowhere to be found. Husband asked for it and they said they don't have it. As for the menudo, while the meats were just right (not too hard or too tender), the broth is so bland. My hungry boys ate what they had but wasn't too impressed either. With grandma out of the picture, it's evident the quality of the food has also gone out the window. Overall, a HUGE disappointment. It's so bad I don't think we're ever coming back again.
