• My wife & I enjoyed out night at Henry's. Showed up at 6:15, very crowded. We were about to say "forget it," then a parking space right in front was open and we could not pass it up. We took a number, waited 5 minutes, they called our number and took our order. Ordered a glass of wine, waited about 20 minutes and were seated at a table. When you order, you are basically telling them what kind of meat you would like. Baked potato, garlic bread and a salad come with every meal. I went with the baby back ribs, my wife went with the BBQ salmon. Service good, quick and friendly. We also ordered the BBQ onion & mushrooms. Both very good. Ribs were very good and my wife enjoyed her salmon, she especially like the tartar sauce.. The atmosphere was fun and loud. The prices were not cheap, but not overpriced either. $24.95 for a full rack of ribs, $14.95 for BBQ salmon. So, thumbs up for Henry's Hi-Life! by SearsPoints Mon 03/12/2012 12:00 AM Roseville, CA Joined May 2011 4 Posts 27 Restaurant Visits
  
• Look like a beat up shack, its super crowded before Sharks games, ul be given a number that they call out when ur ready to be seated, no non-sense, seated, order, then drink, salad and bread, then a beautiful piece of meat. The ribs are good, but I'm a Porterhouse man by Gr8gazoo Mon 01/23/2012 12:00 AM Gilroy, Ca Joined Jan 2012 12 Posts 18 Restaurant Visits
  
• Got there early and sat at the bar with a couple of locals. Had good drinks and conversation at the bar. Had steak and my friend had the ribs, both were very good. Service was fast. by Rufus Wed 09/28/2011 12:00 AM Los Angeles Joined Sep 2011 1 Posts 24 Restaurant Visits

  Visit this San Jose landmark for some baby back ribs. As seen on Travel Channel?s Man v. Food Nation.

  Add mushrooms to your steak or BBQ ribs order and grab a cold one while you wait in the bar. Your food is prepped whether you're at a dining table or not. Baked potatoes included.
• Foodspotting
  Try the Baby Back Ribs and spot it on Foodspotting!

  Get the ribs. Pass on the chicken. If you're new. Get a number, then order when you're # is up. Then you get seated with a salad in print if you.

  Baked potato and garlic bread included with every meal! Sooo good.

  It's not a well known fact that if you are a vegetarian you can ask for a "veggie brochette" and you will get a skewer with bell peppers, onions and mushrooms...

  The ribs are off the hook. Great place seen on Man v Food.
