    Great Heights 'Fruity Pellets' IPA
    Adam H.

    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!

The young lady at the front did her best to accommodate us by apologizing, giving us a free cobbler and juice for the little one. We ordered a few different things: fried whole wings, dirty rice, yams, cabbage, mango habanero wings, fries, red beans and rice and Kool-aide. The fried wings, rice, fries and cabbage were well seasoned- you could taste the butter in them. My son wasn't crazy about the red beans n rice or mango habanero wings. He said it was more beans than rice and the wings lacked flavor. The Kool -aide was super sweet (as expected), but I added water to make it more palatable. While waiting we talked to some other guests Who decided to wait. Later the cook came out and chatted a bit- he was nice. Overall, food is good just come with patience.

Want to start by saying I loved the atmosphere. Loved being able to sit at a bar, loved the music, and service was superb. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Catfish was pretty good. It had the perfect crunch and a plentiful portion so no complaints. Sides were good but not something I'd rave about. The étouffée was pretty solid but the Brussels could've been better. Maybe seasoning them a little more, cutting them in halves, and charring them would've done the job. Peach cobbler was so yummy. I loveeeee how they have offer for preferences with the peach cobbler (more crust, more filling, or neutral) because I personally love more crust. Kool aid was good but could stand to be just a tad bit less sweet with more flavor. All in all if you have a catfish craving and want good vibes and service I'd 1000% endorse this spot.

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day.

Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing.

Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.
