Henbit

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 !

First things first the rosemary fries are worth it!! When you stop here you can expect a nice juicy gourmet burger!

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.

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.

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!

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.
