Uncle Henry's Tamales

"I'm from Houston and I love love love the cracking. Every time I pass through Beaumont I have to go buy some. Sometimes I even drive there just for that."

"The best place for cracklins' really good tamales and chili is lip smacking good. The only negative thing I have to make is they're not in Jasper. Everyone working there are so friendly and fast. It's mostly drive through but they do have a walk up window. A party in your mouth."

"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. I've 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 I've 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 can't give this place enough complements, seriously."

"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 that's 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"
