Henbit

Eating area was really fun. Burger had nice buns and the wagyu beef was full of flavor. Sweet potato fries were nice and crispy. Would definitely come back

I visited Henbit with my family over Memorial Day weekend- this review is long overdue! We were visiting San Antonio from Arkansas, after the long drive I wanted a salad! I ordered the Kale Avocado Salad. It is made with green kale, charred kale, smashed avocado dressing, dried currants, crispy quinoa, and pumpkin seeds. It was a very generous portion! I couldn’t even finish it!! I absolutely loved the dried currants. The salad had a lot of dimension, and the dressing was light and flavorful. We ate outside, despite the heat it was a great atmosphere. The Henbit team was kind and professional. Thank you, Henbit!!

The rosemary garlic fries are worth getting. The aoli is great as a dipper or on the burger. I love white cheddar and was so glad they had it as an option. I appreciated that it came in a wrapper so I could stay clean. The pickles were a nice mild crunch and I hate pickles on my burgers. This is a great stall in the Pearl food hall.

The burger was excellent. Price was fine. One of the best burgers in town. But, 3 things affected the rating. 1. When you order, they mechanically ask you for your phone number. Don't treat customers like a number, for their number. I'm investing my time and money to eat. It's a big deal to me, it should be to you. It's not like buying electronics at Radio Shack. 2. I ordered the sweet potato fries. I got served small, mushy squares of tasteless cubes. It took me a while to keep chewing to try to guess if they actually were sweet potatoes. To serve this garbage with your quality burger is an injustice. If you are not going to serve at least average sweet potato fries, take it off of the menu. 3. I ordered the vanilla shake. If you want to have some fun, order one for a "friend" and watch their reaction when they take the first drink. I gagged. The flavor was too sweet.A limited milk taste with an overpowering spice to it. I would describe it as a non-alcoholic amaretto with a splash of ice milk. I want the servers to try it.

Went with family and my biggest issue is how long the wait time was. I waited 25 minutes for my burger to come before the rest of my family had already finished eating from the other resteraunts. This doesn’t include the probably ten minutes it took for them to take my order despite the short line Food isn’t worth the wait, although there are some highlights: -The buns were really good and held the burger well -The fries were awesome, albeit could have been more plentiful for the 5$ price of a side of fries Overall I wouldn’t recommend, although I wouldn’t advise against it. You’ll spend 3x the amount waiting compared to eating

I came in today and had some of the best burgers I had in a long time! The staff were extremely nice and explained to me about the special burger they had this month! I’m so glad I came and I do recommend!!

Please don’t waste your money here. I admit, the burger has a lot of flavor from the wagyu beef patty and special sauce. However, it does not combine that with the rest of its ingredients in a pleasing way. It ends up very salty. The burger patty being smashed cooked also means the ends of the patty are burnt but not in a good way. And this very mediocre burger by itself with cheese is $10? Please skip out on this place, though the location itself is nice and the service is friendly, in the end, it is the food that makes the place worth going to. In Henbit’s case, it’s not worth it.

It was very disappointing especially it's at The Pearl. They took my number that way they can text me when our food is ready. We ordered from a different place after ordering at Henbit. The other place CALLED my number to let me know it's ready. Henbit hasn't. I finally went and check on our order and the lady just pointed at the rack and I asked her am I supposed to get a text? She just said yeah, and I said I didn't get a text she just said oh okay, sorry. They both look like they don't even wanna be there. The food would've been good if it didn't get cold. Just awful.

Henbit is located smack in the middle of the food hall! We honestly chose them because it was the shortest line. Boy did we luck out! I ordered the veggie chicken sandwich and the rest of the fam got the burgers. Everything was so good and flavored so well. Everything was made to order and came out pretty quick. The rosemary fry's were so good, you have to get an order. We will definitely be back!

Order at the counter and a text message advises when it's ready. Delicious veggie chicken sandwich- the slaw is messy but makes it. Rosemary herbed French fries were fresh and tasty. Seating is communal long tables in a noisy environment but we found a seat at noon on a busy Saturday before our food was ready. Huge chocolate chip cookies remind me of a haystack- we'll plan to try one next time.

Was lucky enough to be able to get here on a weekday with no line. Friendly service. Had food in hand in about 5 minutes. My only critique is that I felt I had more bun and not enough burger contents to fill it. Delicious flavor. Fries were amazing. Just wish I had either less bun or more to fill it. Delicious.

Food was great ! This was first time eating at the Pearl & Henbit was the spot that caught my eyes! Lite Wagu burger with rosemary garlic fries- sauce in the burger & on the side ( similar to canes sauce but bettttter) . Service was quick less than 4 minute wait. Friendly atmosphere. Now when I return to the Pearl this will be my go to !

First things first the rosemary fries are worth it!! When you stop here you can expect a nice juicy gourmet burger!

I was looking forward to being the first to review Henbit -- the new "popup" burger joint at The Pearl's food hall -- not because I craved a smattering of insincere "Congrats on your FTR!" "compliments" from strangers but because I was duly impressed and wanted my review to take the interwebs by storm. Unfortunately, I see that a fellow named John E. has beaten me to the punch. *Fortunately*, however, Mr. E.'s review focuses on Henbit's vegan "chicken" sandwich*, so I shall still be the first to regale Yelp with my fresh (and totally accurate) assessment of the main event, the outstanding Henbit burger! The skeletal menu describes the Henbit burger as follows: two patties of Peeler Farms beef, milk bun, American cheese, shitake aioli, sour pickles, tomato, onions, and red romaine. What the menu doesn't divulge is that the patties are smashed, which often translates to "hard and bereft of all juiciness." If you read my review of Tin Top Burger Co. in New Braunfels (the owner sure did...and he didn't like it one bit!), then you know how I feel about the trendy smash burger concept. In many cases, the patties are about as texturally appealing and juicy as a bulldozed hockey puck. In very rare instances, however, a burger joint works its alchemy to produce a smashed patty that's crisp and desiccated around the edges yet juicy in the middle. Such was the case at Henbit! Of course, a burger is more than just the meat. The other constituent parts -- nothing superfluous -- must coalesce, mingle, and meld into something special. I'm pleased to report, Dear Reader, that the Henbit burger -- in all its constituent parts -- was indeed nothing short of spectacular. At first, I was concerned that the bun might be too weak to withstand the juices from the meat and veggies, but it held up from beginning to end. The shitake aioli might sound like a gimmick, but it added a bold umami flavor reminiscent of *real* black truffles. The tomato and pickles cut through the richness with sweetness and acidity, respectively, while the onions and romaine added crunch. If you took a gander at my photo (which *should* be the featured one on Yelp), then you probably noticed that it includes not two but three patties. That's because I added a third for $3.50 extra. Each patty weighs only three ounces, so nine ounces of beef doesn't sound too extravagant...unless you're some kind of a wuss. I'm not sure how long Henbit will remain in The Pearl's food hall, but it strikes me as a semi-permanent fixture. Perhaps the owners are advertising it as a limited-time offering simply to drum up business. I can only speculate. What I *can* tell you is that my burger ranked among the top five in the city...and that's saying something coming from me. I go out a lot, I eat lots of burgers, and I'm super duper smart. I know of what I speak, folks, so trust me when I say that Henbit is an excellent addition to The Pearl and one of the best places for a burger in San Antonio. *Ordering a vegan "chicken" sandwich from a burger joint is like ordering water at a saloon in the Wild West...or using a slingshot in the showdown that ensues when the other patrons disapprove of your beverage of choice.

Conveniently located in the Pearl, the Henbit is inside the food court. You can grab a table outside our inside and they will text you when your order is ready. They offer gourmet hamburgers and fries. They were all delicious! Great to accompany a cold margarita on a hot summer or fall day in SA. The ambiance is great to hang out with friends of family.

My husband said this was the best burger he's had in town! It must have been, because he didn't share a bite with me, lol. I did try his rosemary fries though, and they were delicious. Definitely a great spot to try when you are visiting the park!

Food was just ok. Although supposed to be healthier for you, really no flavor at all and i'm not sure the sweet potato fries were actually sweet potato. A little on the pricier side too.

Great food. Had the regular hamburger and the sweet potato tots. They were yummy. Forgot to take pic because was really hungry lol

Very good burger with peeler wagyu, had the henbit burger without cheese, the sweet potatoes, & a monster cookie. The burger is cravable enough to drive 30 mins for, the beef was very succulent. The sweet potatoes tasted like a 2nd order to go, they had a spicy flavor & the texture was so crispy outside & smooth inside. I want a monster cookie now, actually I want three- it was so thick but so soft at the same time. Pretty solid spot, highly recommend. I had my meal with a frizzante from the bar in the same food hall. It was a great pairing. Yummmm y'all!

The burgers were extremely thin and dry. The toppings were nothing special and the sweet potatoes were over salted fried battered mess. They looked like tiny sugar cubes. $40.00 for two less than stellar burgers, one bottle of water and one order of fries. Plus tip. Much better burgers at Sam's around the corner and 100% better fries. I would never go back!

Great burger! Fresh, high quality ingredients, exceptional service! Sweet potato fries were fresh and perfectly cooked. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our special request!

I tried Henbit following someone's enthusiastic recommendation. First time visit I tried their basic smash burger, which I'd rate as "very good", but not "great". However when out-of-town visitors who like a burger place like Henbit came, they chose to go there and we each order burgers above the basic one which I have to say were "great". They were worth the extra expense, and we all agreed that they were very tasty and satisfying. Service is OK, however. They clearly try hard to please, but both times there was a small matter of confusion or a hiccup in the order. Although the wait times are long - because the line to order can be long, and because they cook on order, it is worth it. The long line is more a testimony to their popularity, and the cook time means what you are getting is freshly cooked. Besides, it is in a sizable indoor food court, and in direct proximity to a large outdoor plaza with tables, and they use your phone number/text messaging to notify you that your order is ready. If you like a great smash burger at a reasonable price, I recommend Henbit.

Everything was perfect. He even made my delicious burger without the delicious milk bun! They were accommodating, and I really tasted the flavor the chef put into the pimento cheese bacon burger. They have a case of beverages you can choose from soda to orange juice.

Delicious burgers, perfectly made, really. but they flat out refuse to cut them in half. If they change the policy I'll change this review to 5 stars. It's petty but so is refusing to cut a burger.

I ate here because of the two five star reviews. Disappointed. The burger had the fat taste, but lacked the meat aroma. The bun was fine and the garlic fries were crisp and tasty. The kale salad was not up to most places. The salad and dressing were meager with tiny bits of avocado and seeds, etc. The website price for the salad is $6; the posted and charged price was $11. People were nice and I'm sure they don't mind some sincere feedback.

Great vegan options at the Pearl! The kale salad was full portioned and the crispy quinoa, avocado dressing, currants, and pumpkin seeds made it a healthy option. The vegan chicken sandwich was deliciously coated and fried to a delicate crunch. The sweet potato fries are exceptional since they were cubed and lightly coated so they came out light, not greasy. The cooks and servers were professionals and not the run of the mill hourly employees seen at fast food places. It is associated with the Ladino restaurant at the Pearl and the food reflects it. We'll definitely be back again.

The burgers are really good and pretty much the best tasting smash burger I've ever had. It wasn't dry at all, but very juicy and flavorful. The fries are a little dry, and I don't really care for the rosemary on them. Those are the only 2 things I've tried but would definitely be going back for the burger. The staff is friendly. The place is clean, but you might have a hard time finding a table if you go on Saturday or Sunday.

Great burgers! Wonderful fries. The waygu is as good as I've had in San Antonio. Surprisingly inexpensive. Got our food quickly, which is always a plus. Nice place at the Pearl. Would recommend.

Honestly and truly top 3 burgers I've ever had in my entire life. Quick and easy ordering and worth the trip no matter what side of town youre coming from.

We're from Temple and don't get down to SA very often but we tried Henbit the last time we went to the Farmer's Market at Pearl and my wife and I both agreed it was the best burger we've ever had. That's was last month and we were back down today. I was afraid that it wouldn't be as good but it was absolutely just as good as the first time. I had the Henbit burger w/o the garlic aioli and added a little ketchup.
