We kept seeing this place when we would go to Home Depot, and we kept missing them during their business hours. We finally ended up in the area when they were open. We werent sure how we would like the food, so we got a 1/2 a dozen tamales and left. We ate them in the gas station parking lot next door to them. We enjoyed them so much, we went right back and ordered a full dozen of the tamales they are unlike anything youve ever tasted. You have to not think of a Mexican food tamale. This is a soul food tamale. And they are amazing. We ate there 3 days in a row because their food tasted like someones grandma was in the kitchen in the morning, making it. Highly suggest the smoked Boudin, the Frito pie, and Chili dogs! The chili is something you can tell is NOT from a can! We will be trying every item they have! Waiting for them to have cracklins when we go. They are always sold out when we are there. If they werent 30 minutes from us, wed probably eat there every day, gain 100lbs and not even care!

Henry s has always been consistent with their quality and customer service. The reviews saying the food is greasy are likely out of towners that aren t familiar with the establishment bc Henry s is a fave in the community and has been for decades.

Disappointment is not even a strong enough word for how I felt about the tamales we purchased today. I am 61 years old and I have had many tamales in my lifetime. In fact, some of the best tamales was in San Antonio; but I have tried some in other places and at least they have been edible. The tamales we purchased today actually had a decent flavor, but I could not get past the fact that they fell apart before I could even get them out of the corn husks good, they had a funky color to them, they were extremely mushy (the texture was horrible), and I had grease that had run all down my dress in our short drive home. I am not one to waste money, so I am glad we only got one dozen because there is only one place for these tamales and it is in the trash. I will not return to ever purchase anything else from this place. I will give them an A+ on service. They greeted us with a smile, checked us out fast, and was very pleasant throughout our transaction.

This is in my top 3 places to eat in Beaumont. I come here all the time and I recommend it to people all the time. Ive never seen any sign of uncleanliness. None of the staff have ever been unpleasant in the slightest. Everything is quick and efficient. They have probably the best cracklins Ive ever had. I get them all the time. Their links are some of the best in town. This is also the only place I ever order chili from. Their prices are more than fair. I cant give this place enough complements, seriously. Parking: This is a drive-thru spot.

This is the worse food I have ever had in my life. Tamales were DISGUSTING. was MUSH and grainy. Boudin was absolutely disgusting. I have never ever left a bad review on any restaurant. I just want people to understand do NOT come here. Literally spit the food out when I put it in my mouth.

So after all the hype I decided to go to Uncle Henrys Tamales located at 4358 E Lucas in Beaumont Texas. The tamales are the bomb but this time I decided to try the Cracklin. A complete disappointment. They smelled delicious, looked delicious but to my surprise they were in a plastic Ziploc bag which is a big no no when it comes to storing cracking. They were soft and gummy. Just gross and complete ignorance on how to store crackling to be sold. This was a complete disappointment for me. Anyone thats a Cracklin person knows once crackling are done and cooled they should be placed in a paper bag to keep them from getting soft and mushy. The paper bag keeps them fresh and crispy. Best crackling Ive had here thus far is at the fair at Ford Park with Southern Fried Krackling . They know how to do it. So if you looking for good crackling Uncle Henrys aint the place to go. SMH

Worst place Ive ever had food from. The sausage seems to be homemade, which sounds good, but it isnt if the people dont know how to cook. The casing is very loose and stretchy, hard to bite or even cut. Feels like gay cannibalism. Id rather they be lazy and sell Zummos like every other place. The tamales are just corn husks and meat paste (like the inside of the sausage), no dough or masa. I really recommend passing this place up, unless youd like to try post-apocalyptic food.

I work here and I see a lot of comments on mushy tamales with no meat so let me address that. We have a machine that we put the meat in on one and the corn meal on the other. When it comes to a customer not seeing any meat, THAT IS BECAUSE WHEN TOU USE THE SPOON TO DIG IN, the corn meal falls over on top of the meat which GIVES THE ILLUSION THAT THERE IS NONE HOWEVER THERE IS. Sometimes they re mushy because they re TOO HOT! If you let it sit, it will reform to its normal consistency. Mushy tamales are just tamales that are too hot. They all have the same amount of meat because THE MACHINE DOES THAT. As for the crackling being too soft, it s nothing to bring it back and ask for a refund and or tell us the kind you like and we will do our best to give the customer what they ask. Some people like them hard, some like them soft, some like them gold and then there s me, I like them red. At the end of the day we want our customers happy! So if anyone is upset, PLEASE RETURN THEM and we will do our best to please.
