Henry's Restaurant

I've said it before, and I'll say it again--I love Henry's burgers. Seriously, they are some of the best I've ever had. But today, we're switching gears. In this update, we're talking about a few other things on the menu: their chicken fried steak, fried mushrooms, and the Mexican Platter. Buckle up, it's a mixed bag!I want to start here: the servers are the sweetest and they are HUSTLING their way through the day, doing their very best to make sure the guests are happy, bellies and drinks are full and things move along. Kudos to each of them! First, let's start with the good stuff. The chicken fried steak is absolutely no joke. The batter? Chef's kiss. Perfectly seasoned, crispy, and flavorful without overwhelming the tender, juicy meat inside. I went with the green beans and mashed potatoes as my sides. Now, full disclosure--the green beans tasted like they were frozen, not fresh, which wasn't my fave. But, honestly, that's forgivable when everything else on the plate is so on point. The mashed potatoes were exactly what you'd expect--smooth, creamy, and paired with that glorious Southern cream gravy. I added a dash of salt and pepper to make it my own, and let me tell you, it was a plate of pure comfort. The steak? Tender, flavorful, and a total win. YUM!Next up, the fried mushrooms. I'm leaning towards them being fresh because they were that good. The batter (which seemed to be the same magical blend from the chicken fried steak) was crisp, light, and packed with flavor. Every bite was a crispy-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside delight.Now, here's where things took a turn--the Mexican Platter. (sigh) Sad face incoming. The enchiladas arrived cold--so cold, the cheese wasn't even melted inside the enchilada. The rice was barely warm, the beans weren't much better, and the taco meat? Zero flavor. It was a disappointing experience, but to their credit, the manager handled it well. They refunded the platter and only charged us for a chalupa, which was a fair and appreciated move.So, will I be back at Henry's? Absolutely! This place has too many winning dishes to stay away. But now we know--stick to the classics, like the burgers and that amazing chicken fried steak, and maybe steer clear of the Mexican food. :). Next in line? Get there for breakfast and try that amazing looking breakfast menu! :) I'm still giving the place 5 stars - the one platter out of all of our visits here with nothing but excellent experiences doesn't warrant a 4 star as far as I'm concerned.

Amazing experience for lunch on a weekday afternoon! The service is phenomenal. Servers were super kind and attentive. Always asked if we needed more refills! Food was great! Ordered fish tacos with sides of veggies and sweet potato fries!! All were great. Loved the cheese and fish combo. Lots of indoor seating. Very large space with large tables. Simple and clean overall. Reminds me of a large home!

I have order twice the guacamole queso burger and both times I get home and there's no guacamole in my burger. So sad! I had ordered a few months ago and ordered again this Wednesday, was thinking of reminding them but completely forgot. Not sure if it no longer comes with guacamole or what?

Comfortable atmosphere. Feels like an old time cafe where I grew up in Oklahoma. Our server was lovely. She knew enough time to leave us alone and see if we needed anything. Our breakfast tacos were delicious and hot.

This place has been going downhill for the past decade. Food is royally bad except for the breakfast. Service for the most part is pretty good and I can't complain about the servers. The thing I can't emphasize enough is keeping this place and kitchen clean!! I've had friends and family who have worked there tell me horrible things that have been confirmed here in other reviews which is why I'm leaving this review at 2 stars.

WELL, BUTTER MY BISCUIT!!! HENRY'S EGG-ACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO START MY DAY!!! (Lockhart Breakfast!!! God Bless Texs!)We (The Villain aka Ray & I), had a hankering for a hearty breakfast! We wanted to start our day off better than yesterday's start! (He doesn't act right when he's hungry! Truthfully, I don't either) I looked up a "Lockhart breakfasts", and found Henry's with great ratings, reviews and they served breakfast all day! Ray aka TV (The Villain) ordered the Meat Lovers Breakfast (see photo) and side of Homemade Biscuits & Gravy! I ordered The Homestyle Breakfast (ONLY $7.29!). The Biscuits are to DIE for! Light Fluffy Buttermilk biscuits, clearly made from scratch! Bacon was thick and perfectly cooked, home fries and eggs were perfectly cooked the only way, I enjoy them. I took a bite of the biscuits and gravy and about jumped out of my chair, it was sooo good!!!! Gravy made from scratch using sausage drippings and tons of sausage! TV's breakfast looked good, (I didn't ask for a bite, I was too busy eating like I had a slit throat!). He demolished his meal (I ain't lying, I demolished mine too!) Our server Shannah (not sure how she spells her name), was as sweet as a Fredericksburg Peach!!! She was welcoming, courteous, smiling and efficient! Thank you, Shannah!!!You can't beat Henry's breakfasts and the prices are so inexpensive, you feel like you're robbing them! I'll definitely be back!!!Ps. I would love a Henry's t-shirt! I wear a women's medium SSDGM,Elaine

The food is great. Like, REALLY great. But here's one suggestion. The ice maker rattles so loud you can't have a conversation even if you're sitting on the other end of the restaurant. Another group of people came in and sat down by us and had to lean in to talk to each other. They made a comment about the noise and decided to leave. Great place to bring someone you don't want to talk to. Now that I think about it, maybe don't fix the ice maker. All in all, it's a quaint classic cafe.

I heard about Henry's from a friend at work and after the high praises, we decided to take the drive to get out of our home town for something new. The curb appeal is cute, right off the Main Street in Lockhart. When we walked in we were greeted even in the peak time of Friday dinner rush. We were able to seat ourselves which fit our needs with two children. Henry's serves breakfast all day! Down home country cooking; I ordered the breakfast platter with potatoes and bacon, my husband ordered the Guacamole Queso Burger, said it was delicious but spicy. My mom got a salad and baked potato and my brother ordered the French Toast Plate and breakfast tacos to go. My brother said the food was a home run! We look forward to eating here again soon.

There's no down home anything, the biscuits are frozen, the gravy canned, chicken fried steak frozen, coffee drinkable, sodas so watered down that it doesn't have any taste, the only thing that I can say about the breakfast is that the bacon was finally thick enough and tasted like bacon, so out of 6 almost 2 ain't bad!!!

The food and service is GREAT here!! My husband LOVED his grilled fish and shrimp!!! He says we ARE coming here from now on!! I ordered the Club sandwich and it was awesome!! The BEST bacon I had in a very long time!! We are DEFINITELY coming back here every week!!!It's our NEW favorite place to eat!!
