My Wife's Son, Joe, came over to celebrate his birthday. He chose the Original Henry's Mexican…read moreRestaurant for this Lunch. On Thursday's, Henry's has their Steak Specials running from 11 am until 5 pm, so Steak for lunch sounds like a winner for us. When we arrived, I wasn't really surprised that there are a lot of cars/trucks in the parking lot. Walked in, was greeted by the Hostess, and shown to a table in the Main Dining area. Right away, the Chips & Salsa Lady came by with their Red Salsa, Bean Dip topped with Gravy, and those Fresh Warm Chips for us to enjoy. Right after that, our Server, Monica, stopped by and took our drink order while we looked over the menu, mainly their Thursday Steak Specials. Those Chips and Salsa, which is on the Hot side, are delicious, but I tend to lean toward the Bean Dip topped with Gravy. That is some really good stuff. When Monica returned with our drinks, we placed our order. Joe is having the "KC Steak"; About 16 ounces of Hand Cut Sirloin, requested medium. Served with Baked Potato or French Fries, chose French Fries. Served with Frijoles Borracho's and a Salad. Nancy is having the same thing, but medium rare. I am going with the "Henry's New York Strip Steak"; About 14 ounces. Chose French Fries over the Baked Potato. Served with Frijoles Borracho's and a Salad. All Steaks are tenderized by the In-House-Butcher and seasoned accordingly. Traditional Kansas City-style Steaks are typically seasoned with a blend of Coarse Garlic Salt, Pepper, Coriander, and Chili Peppers. Henry's has other Steaks on their Thursday Specials; Besides the two kinds we ordered, they have "Spanish Steak"; About 14 ounces, with the same sides. The "Chicken Fried Steak"; Their CFS sits in a Cheese-Gravy and is one of the Best CFS's around. And they have the standard "Hamburger Steak"; topped with Brown Gravy & Onions. Right after Monica took our food order, she returned and with Fresh Warm Chips and more of the Red 'Hot' Salsa. That stuff warms you up from the inside out and is very tasty. We enjoyed those Chips and Dips, and then our Salads came out. I topped mine off with their Vinaigrette Dressing, my Wife chose Thousand Island, and I think Joe went with Ranch. Right after we finished the Delicious, Crisp and Flavorful Salads, our Steaks arrived. Henry's has always been pretty quick in serving their food, and the presentation is Spot-On. No matter what plate you order, it's always going to be a Beautiful Presentation. All three of our Steaks are glistening, and the aroma makes your tummy smile. We all three cut into our Steaks and they are Right-On, just the way they should be. I have had the KC Steak before, and it was Very Tastylicious, and that's what my Wife said about hers. Very Tender with lots of Flavor in every bite. Joe loved his also and ate all of it. My Wife didn't eat all of hers because, as she says, she isn't tall enough. I ate all of mine because I am tall enough. It was also Very Flavorful, Tenderlicious and just down-right great. Their Steaks cut very easy with a knife - it just falls through the Deliciousness with ease. Normally, a New York Strip Steak is seasoned by being patted dry, then liberally coated on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Some methods involve dry-brining for several hours, while others apply a simple mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder just before cooking. Don't know if Henry's does theirs this way, but I do know that it's Awesomely Flavored. French Fries are pretty good, and I ate all of mine, but don't tell my Doctor. I'm not suppose to have this much Steak and Potatoes, and I've done this a couple times this week. So - Shhhhhhhhhhhh. No wonder their Frijoles Borracho's are Very Tasty. The Frijoles Borracho's (Drunken Beans) are a classic dish featuring Pinto Beans slow-simmered with Beer, Bacon, and aromatic Vegetables. Other key ingredients are Bacon rendered fat, Garlic, Jalapenos, Tomatoes, Cilantro, and dark Mexican Beer. All of that in a bowl for your enjoyment. And believe me, you will enjoy these. Monica earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award for going 'above-n-beyond' the norm. She checked on us at just the right times and was very pleasant to talk to. She also described how the Steaks were seasoned, prepared, and that the KC Steak is her favorite. She is Awesome. When we left, Henry's was pretty busy, as expected. Maybe they all came for the Steaks. On the way home, we enjoyed another Beautiful San Angelo Afternoon.

7/25/2026 our first time here at The Original Henry's since relocating to San Angelo on 1/14/2026…read more Since then, we have driven past TOH's numerous times and their parking lot was usually full. 2:15pm on a Saturday we were quickly seated and waited on. Kimberly was our server and perhaps one of the BEST waitresses we've had at any restaurant in San Angelo. She took our order and quickly brought out our drinks along with chips, salsa, guacamole and beans and within minutes both our dinners were brought out to us. With it being so quick, I do question the food prep which is not necessarily a negative thing. Sometimes when food arrives fast at a sit-down restaurant, it can feel alarming. However, it can be kitchen prep done hours before service so dishes can be rapidly assembled along with synchronized cooking stations designed for efficiency. Kimberly checked on us 3 times which was nice and cleared empty dishes out of our way. The place is clean, inviting, lots of seating and numerous menu choices. We both liked our choices and our bill was reasonable.

Weekday dinner here, served by Brittany- she was on point all night…read more We enjoyed all of our beverages and food. Their Rhinestone Blonde beer was well balanced and my wife enjoyed her gin-based drink "The Smash" and her dessert cocktail "Cafe' Noire." Food wise, the queso and chips were above average and a large portion. Fish and chips were tasty- be sure to ask for extra house-made tartar sauce. Their house-made balsamic vinegar dressing was fire. We finished up with the uber-rich 7-Layer Paradise dessert. Worth a stop.

We ordered two of the Zero One (SPICY sopressata and basil with honey on foccacia) and one Steuben (Reuben sandwich with corned beef cooked in stout). Food was amazing and ample portions.

Two words: GREEN SAUCE…read more I don't know what exactly is in it, but i crave it more that I've been here and had it. I look forward to coming back to town to coming back for more tacos and green sauce. The chips and salsa is also good. I've tried a few things. I often get an app and take the mini tacos home for a different meal. It's a lot of food. I haven't had anything bad here with the items I've tried. Service is friendly. They'll keep the chips coming. Which i don't need, but i do appreciate. There are lots of TVs. Sportsball is usually on.

Great spot for Mexican food! Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful.

The chips and salsa were fresh, service was friendly, and the portions were generous. Definitely a place I'd come back to next time I'm in town.
