Great food and large selection of cold beers. Service was very good. They need to add flights to the menu so customers can sample and try a greater variety. read more

This place is fantastic!! We were greeted warmly and well taken care of by Sarah. The beer choices are generous and the menu is eclectic. There is something for everyone. The quality of food is on point. It's a great local tavern! If you're in the area and want great beer and fabulous food, this is the place. read more

Great beer selection. Period. The ambiance is dreary. Service is nonchalant. It always looks closed from the street. Need to put at least some energy into the food and a little effort into the vibe. read more

This place is great. I've been here twice and enjoyed both times immensely. The service was great on both occasions; the food is delicious; and the draught beer list is on point. Looking forward to going again soon! read more

Great beer selection and elevated food selection for a pub. I come here often and I'm never disappointed.

The food is delicious, just plain southern comfort and bar basics done to perfection. Portion sizes would be Andre the Giant approved and served with an attentive smile. Not a beer drinker but they have close to 50 on tap and had growlers availed for you to take one of your favorites back home. Come given them a visit and come often. read more

We love the food at J Henry's.. the pretzel is outstanding as well as the chopped chicken salad and burgers. Everyone is really friendly that works here. read more

Great place for a beer! With the weather getting better, it is a great place to grab a beer. Owner is a great guy!

Have had just about everything on the menu except the salads, have not been disappointed once and my wife loves the salads especially the wedge. Great selection of beers. I have to say the ONION RiNGS are the best in Houston! read more

Great selection of beer and excellent food. Buffalo Mac and cheese is really excellent.

So glad I found this place after getting in late on a Houston overnight. Our waitress was super friendly and funny, apparently I turned her on to "angry ketchup" aka spicy ketchup which I first had at whataburger! My coconut shrimp was excellent and my coworkers enjoyed their chicken and veggies. We sampled a few beers, they have a cool selection. The space is a big open box, so the ambience is a lil lacking when it's empty but overall surpassed my expectations! read more

We visit J. Henry's regularly, and order somewhat off-menu as the vegan options are slim here. I typically order the "Vegan Happy-Meal" which consists of a house dinner salad and side of fries. On the salad, make it vegan by requesting no cheese (I sub avocado) and requesting balsamic dressing. Add one of their current tap offerings and you've got a happy vegan! (toys not included) Staff are super friendly and accommodating! We love sitting on their patio and watching the sunset or chatting with them too. They almost always pick my beer for me since their wall of taps is ever-changing and I like exploring new options. Often have a good showing of local craft brews. Glad to have this solid neighborhood pub close! read more

I know this is a draught house, but we go for the food. It's excellent. Love the salmon! Also recommend the shareable onion rings.

We've dragged many a friend here! There are many things we rotate as "favorites ". My husband goes for the fried green tomato BLT frequently. Fried Mozzarella Caprese Sandwich runs a close second. I do fewer sandwiches, so it's Chicken Janet for me. Both soups are really yum. And for starters, either the pretzel bites with beer queso or the fat big pretzel with a smaller beer queso and mustard are win/wins. The draught options are extensive and staff is decent with recommendations. Staff is usually efficient as well. Enjoy! And drive safely. read more

Best burgers & beer in Clear Lake! Their fish n chips are excellent as well. Always try to support the local family owned establishments.

So the pretzels were incredible, highly recommend those. I wouldn't get the Mac and cheese though, the sauce was very watery and I ended up not eating it. I would have given this place 3 stars if it weren't for our waiter, he was amazing. He noticed that I put my Mac and cheese across the table from me and asked me if there was something wrong, I wasn't going to ask for a new dish but he let me order fish and chips instead! And he didn't even charge us for the Mac because I didn't eat it. The fish and chips were delicious too. All in all this place was good, I'd go back for the pretzels and service alone. read more

We love J.Henry's!! Everything on their menu is wonderful. My go to is their double pork chops.

Why 5 stars? Because this is one of the better beer selections I've ever seen. --- --- --- I was really impressed with the draft list here. It was giant, and mostly consisted of beers I'd never heard of. In this craft beer age, too many pubs choose quantity over quality and just tap anything they can get their hands on. A perfect example of this is Yard House, where I ended up later that night because their kitchen was still open. I'm bummed I missed out on the food at J Henry's, but that's what I get for such a late start. Anyway, back to beer selection. A place like Yard House has a million taps, but when you take a closer look, it's mostly stuff that's in massive distro all across the country. I hate to sound like the snobbiest snob that ever snobbed, but when I walked in here and had to look up most of the beers on Beer Advocate, I knew I was at an awesome spot. They had plenty of drafts from super tiny Houston microbreweries, and a good selection from brews outside of the region as well. To top it off, our bartender was super friendly and patient as I heavily debated what to order. There was even a sign out from that said "Drive Thru Growlers." I have no idea if that was real or not. Even if it's not real, that's a pretty funny sign. If it is real? This is my Disneyworld. read more

Very good food, the pretzel & cheeese was the bomb ! the fish & chips were flaky and crunchy just right! The blackened chicken with Mac & Cheese was very tasty ... can't wait to go back and try other yummy items read more

Love J. Henry's! I recommend the bacon tomato basil soup and the buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese!! Waiters are always very nice and tentative to the table! read more

Fabulous service, beer, food. the best salmon w veg ever. I have eaten Salmon in many restaurants, and at a much higher price point but none more juicy delicious. And fast.Gillian is incredibly beer knowledgeable. I had st Arnold Double Down -super. Spouse always has #51, Saloon Door Tasty AF on nitro. It's always available. read more

Wife and I stopped in for a kid-free dinner. App: Prezel bites with cheese. Super yummy. They bites came out hot, fluffy and crispy. PRO TIP: You get free refills on the bites to help you get through the cup of queso. Chicken Fried Steak Tacos: Another interesting approach. The steak was cut up in strips, then battered and fried. Three big slices in a couple of tortillas. After a few bites, we eventually ditched the taco approach and enjoyed the CFS directly. PRO TIP: Ask for extra gravy as it wasn't delivered with much to begin with. Drinks: Awesome beer selection. Wife enjoyed the wine offerings. Service: Our young server was attentive and did a great job keeping the table clean and drinks full. read more

This place is amazing. The food is really good and is not your typical "bar food." They have a great selection of draft beer and wine and the ambience is relaxing. When you order some of the appetizers, they are large portions so 2-3 people can share easily with room to spare. read more

Great food and environment. Never a wait to be seated and is a little hidden gym! Highly recommended!

Food was wonderful! I had grilled lemon butter chicken w artichoke spinach and fire toasted tomatoes and mixed veggies. My husband had the salmon and onion rings. Everything was amazing. Not your typical pub food. And Gillian our waitress was super friendly , very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend!! read more

When I walked in and Limp Bizket was playing my first inclination was to leave immediately and go elsewhere for lunch. The wife and I were both hungry so we stayed. I had a really hard to picking something. The menu is pretty limited. I settled on a $9 cheese sandwich. It was ok, everything seemed overpriced for what it was. Just not my kinda place I guess. They seemed to have a huge selection of beer, I'm sure they are great, we were just there for lunch thou. read more

To quote a wise website, "YAY! I'M A FAN." I can't believe CLEAR LAKE got this place! Clear Lake is getting COOL!! Walked in at 10pm on the dot, incidentally the same time the kitchen closes, on a Saturday night. While it was sit anywhere at the time, I didn't realize they had waiters and waitresses. So I awkwardly hung near the bar reading the extensive (51 taps - 1 cider - 2 wine = 48 beers) drink menu for quite a while. Don't be like me, if you want a booth, go get one and someone will come to you. We wound up sitting at the bar so I could continue checking out all delicious libations. I sampled a few beers before deciding on the Green Flash DIPA and a Avery Liliko'i Kepolo Wit that had a bit of a sour bite to it. You know how much you're getting based on the color on the right side of the board - the color coding is found at the end of the bar on the right. I think green is 16oz and pink may be 12oz? You'd have to double check me on that. I was super glad I sat where I did, as I saw an employee drinking an 11 Below brew at the end of the bar - and 11 Below was only 1 of 2 Houston breweries that I didn't have the scoop on yet. Turns out it was a red IPA called Color Blind and that knowledgable employee was actually the owner! He was super personable and down to earth - clearly passionate about beer and well connected in the craft beer scene. I can't wait to come back and eat ALL the foods. read more

Visit this location second time this week and still no AC . Extremely warm especially with the extreme hot weather

The atmosphere was good, it's a great place to get together with a group of friends but the food was okay and I am giving it 2 stars because they serve small portions for large prices. read more

Wow! Finally Clear Lake is getting something other than the same. old. chain. restaurants! Hubby and I really do not drink beer that often, but I noticed J Henry's when I was leaving my office one day and thought it might be a place to check out. After reading the GREAT reviews, we did ... and we were not disappointed! When we arrived, there really were not that many people here, but that quickly changed! For starters I ordered a cherry sour ale on draught and hubs got a bottle of UFO, since he is a fan of Blue Moon and our server said this was similar. I really enjoyed the cherry sour ale!! We ordered the Beer queso with pretzel bites. Wow, so tasty! I have to say I am not a huge queso fan but this was really some of the best I have had. The pretzel bites were warm and soft, too. For my entree I got the sun dried tomato chicken. The chicken was grilled and had sun dried tomatoes and cream cheese on it. YUM! Hubs got the fried egg burger and he said it was pretty good. I think next time we stop in we will either skip the appetizers or get them and skip the entrees because we were both really full on yummy food! Can't wait to come back and try a different beer!! read more

This is going to be a long one, so pull up a barstool and grab a sour, frosty, from the tap. J Henry's current location as seen so many, and so frequent turn around from other restaurants that, when they first installed their restaurant, we were nervous for them. We hoped they had what it took to last the test of time. And we think they do! DRINKS: So I'm partial to sour beers... and this place doesn't disappoint. In fact, it's one of the few places in the area that has such a vast beer menu that you can truly find any sippage to suit any palate. They trade out their beer so often, it would be futile to tell you what I drank the last three times I was there, but trust me, their selection is bar (pun intended) none. FOOD: Queso - their stout Queso w pretzel bites. Omg (that's the noise my mouth makes while smacking away at these buttery, salty, cheesy heartattack bites. Yes, they're that good Buffalo Balls- an appetizer of another sort. Usually, I try to watch my girlish figure by sticking to a baconetarian diet, but I let that slide for some buffalo balls. They were tender, I'll give you that, and the marinara and seasoning was great... but I'm just not a meatish person I guess. Fried Green BLT - hellz yes. Where have you been all my life?! Think thick peppery bacon, cooked crisp tender, spooning a crunchy tart fried green tomato, piled too high to wrap your lips around on a gorgeous slab of sourdough. Oh freaking yeah. STAFF: Funny - quips and patron razzing abounds. Put on thick skin, a hearty chuckle, and brush up on your quick comebacks. Furry - 90% of the men working and patronizing this establishment are hairy. Like, beard envy and I'm a chick... like beard oil battles for your olfactory as much as the kitchen. And me loves me some facial hair, so it's all good. Fast - every time we've come here they've been quick to serve. Even when they were over capacity they shuttle people through with enough grace and viv that people don't even realize them been brew-handled. When we brought in a part of 20 with no notice they simply took it in stride with a quick quip and a "better pay the piper" smile Funky - they trade out their brew board enough that we never tire of coming... knowing each time we walk through those doors there'll be another new brew to sip and savor We're excited they're here. Hopefully it's for the long haul. read more

J. Henry's Draught House & Kitchen - Bacon tomato basil soup and a simple and satisfying sour. - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came here to watch the Navy vs Army game. Wasn't crowded but had a few people; they seemed like the regulars, as the waiter and waitresses knew them. Ambiance was nice. There was plenty of open space... Had 4 tv screens to watch multiple games. A lot of natural lighting even when it was gloomy outside. Good set up. Liked the place. There were a lot of different types of beers. For beer lovers, this would be your spot. Had some of their beers, which I liked the coffee lover. There were some downside to the place though. Friendly staff. But I had to let the waitress know she forgot my water, not once or twice. She forgot it 3 times. Won't hold that against her or the restaurant. I ordered the prime rib sandwich. Was pretty good. Had good amount of meat. But there was a little too much of breading for me. The food wasn't bad. I plan to try other foods when I visit again. Rating Food: 3 Ambiance: 3 Service: 3.5 Price: 4. (Beer prices were decent) Went back actually twice. Plan to go back again to watch football games. read more

I'm hoping to go back soon so I can add a star. They receive my average rating of 3 stars for now. Food was pretty good in general, the price was high though. There are many restaurants in the area where you can find equal quality for less money. For the price we paid, I expected excellence. My steak was okay, but my husband and kids were all disappointed by their food. The actual bar is great though. Love the wide variety and I actually thought the pricing on the beer was reasonable. I'd love to go back and try something else, sadly I think I'll have to go solo or with friends because my family was not impressed. Give it a try though. I love supporting small businesses and hope they have a long and happy experience in that location. This review is mainly just constructive criticism. This place has greatness potential! read more

Good food, beer and service. We had the chicken sandwich comes with fries. The food was good and the portion was enough for 2 people. The service was good and friendly. read more

This has become one of my favorite spots for lunch when im at work. It's super convenient and the food is incredible. I have pretty much had the same thing everytime i have been here. Bacon avocado grilled cheese and the tomato soup. The sandwich comes with steak fries which are hot and not greasy at all. They only have 2 tv's way up high on the wall so im assuming it's more of a hang out and talk to your friends over beer than a come and watch sports place....which is fine by me! I was worried on my first visit because no one on the staff smiled but the last 2 times i have been service is def improving! Wall of beer shows everything that is on tap but i haven't had the pleasure of trying any since i haven't come after my work hours. Of all the places this location has been this is my absolute favorite one and i wish them many many many years of success! read more

Five stars for beer and ambiance; four stars for food. About 40 beers on draught, all domestic craft beers from all over the US, representing a wide range of styles; only a couple from Houston. About 50 more in bottles and cans. Best beer selection by far in the Clear Lake area. Menu is a good selection of pub food, ranging from snacks to full entrees, carefully selected for compatibility with beer. I had a Brother Thelonius Belgian Strong Dark Ale from North Coast Brewing in Ft Bragg, CA and a Dogfish Head 90 Minute Double IPA in Milton, DE. Wife had chicken poblano soup, I had a Fried Green Tomato BLT. We split an order of fried wontons with mustard. The BLT could have used a couple more slices of T, and the B was a bit raw for my taste. The food took a while to appear. Not a big problem, since it left more time for drinking beer! It's still early days -- J Henry has not yet had their grand opening. This is a fun place now, and should be even better in time. read more

Nice little spot with a great beer list for draft. Service was okay- server we had was a bit nonchalant but really no big complaints. I had the avocado bacon grilled cheese and my companion had the prime rib sandwich- both pretty good. Great atmosphere, but sat under a vent that leaked water all night. I'll definitely try it again, but won't go out of my way. read more

J. Henry's Draught House & Kitchen - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food is really good. The pretzel is sometimes a little over fried but always tasty. They have a very nice waiter but he has long stringy hair. It's not tied back; no hair net. I worry his hair is going to be in my food. I don't care that he has long hair. It's just looks unsanitary. read more

Great date night with the wife! The food is absolutely awesome and the beer assortment is the best! The place was packed but owner welcomed us in and stopped by several times to check in on us. Awesome example of the American Dream! Keep it up! read more
