Henry's World Famous Hi-Life

This restaurant been here for a while and am sure the building is older than the restaurant which makes it a nice historic location in the heart of San Jose. Their menu is on the wall, you pick your food and get your number, enjoy some drinks at the bar if you want until your name/number gets called and you get seated with your starter (salad with your choice of dressing) and waiting for you at your table. Good service. The prime rib served only two days out of the week is really good. Wish they had more sides to pick from. Tried ordering the bbq mushroom and bbq onion - both is a no go! The garlic bread is scrumptious. And to the main event - the baby back ribs! All served with baked potato on the side. We enjoyed it all. We also sat outside making our experience merrier. Will come back to taste the bbq salmon and the chicken.

Phenomenal experience ✨️ except the wait time but it was Valentines day. Service was amazing & so was the food. Had the beautifully cooked PorterHouse steak cooked medium rare, perfection. ???? a must try! Had the pork belly wish was so juicy too! Fold the garlic bread around it to make a little sandwich ???? mmmmm! Mac-n-cheese was Meeh. Broccoli was delicious as well. Don't fill up on the bread though. Definitely coming back & trying the ribs next. Me & my fiancé shared the 20 Oz PorterHouse which was enough. Huge!! Highly recommend, super iconic spot in San Jose.

The eating experience is a little different here, but the food is excellent. It's mostly meat, with basic salads and southern sides (Mac n cheese, baked potato). The plates are huge, so plenty of leftovers. No desserts though. When you arrive, as soon as your whole party is present, tell a server you're ready, because you don't get on the waiting list to get a table until AFTER you order, and you need your entire party present to order. There is a 10-15 minute delay after you order, before you're seated, and the only menu in the dining room is drinks. The salads are waiting for you when you sit. Efficient service and great food, super friendly staff. This place has a long history in San Jose, so it's worth visiting, but try to be there when they open and don't go when there's an event at SAP Center (crazy crowded). Parking is limited, only on the street (and it's metered, but you can pay by credit card). Parking: There are maybe 15 metered spots outside on the street, but there are oth
