Henry's Hamburgers, M-139 Benton Harbor Michigan

Here's an isolated copy of the old Henry's commercial. Enjoy! http://www.fuzzymemories.tv/screen.php?c=3193&p=1

What fond memories I have, growing up in Chicago with my grandfather, who on most Saturday nights in the summer would go to the Henry's across from Hanson Park, and get us hamburgers and himself the chicken dinner, that we would eat on the back porch (no ac in that old house!). I remember the sign out front being so huge and bright! That was a long time ago, in a cruel blow of irony, there is a McDonald's at that address now. I'm glad I stumbled on this and will look for your place next time we are on our way to northern Michigan.

When I was growing up I used to walk to Henry's and get a meal for 25 cents. Could not wait to have the fries! Although I have lived in San Diego for 30 years, I always stop at Henry's when I am in the area. It brings back such good memories...Never even thought of going to McDonald's down the street! Thanks for being such an icon in Benton Harbor.

As a kid growing up and spending the summers with my Grandparents in Albuquerque our favorite place to go was the Henry's located on Eubank Blvd. in the N.E. Heights section of Albuquerque. On our way to the Sandia Tramway we stopped and filled up on Henry's. I also remember a Henry's on S. Colorado Blvd. in Denver that was always a treat.

I remember as a kid going to Henry's when we lived in Pensacola FL, it was on Pace blvd, I'd always get a "Deluxe" which was a burger with Lettuce & Tomato, I think it was .35 or .40 cents at the time, and I thought that was expensive, and my dad would buy french fries by the 1/2 lb, I didn't know you could, but he did, he'd come back to the car with a bag full of fries, Great Memories

My mom grew up in Benton Harbor, and remembers when Henry's started! It's been her favorite, and we grew up going to Henry's every time we visited the Benton Harbor area every summer. Mom and I were just there today :)

I remember growing up in upstate New York (Binghamton area) and going to Henry's many, many times. If I recall, you could get a hamburger, fries and a drink for $.37 or $.42. It was a few years ago, but when you're 11 or 12 it doesn't get any better than that. I remember actually wanting to go with my aunt when she drove my sister to her weekly dance lessons so we could stop there! They are long gone now, but a lot of great memories not only like that, but also with several of my friends.

Thank you for all of the great memories of Henry's Hamburgers! I did not know that Henry's had stores in Florida!

Henry's had a drive-in on the Southwest corner of Southwest 87 ave. and Bird Road in Miami Florida in the late 50's or very early 60's. I think they open 8 to 12 in the Miami area. Mc Donalds didn't get into Miami until the mid-60's and Burger King was based out of Miami. Sincerely Richard Long.

I grew up in Waterloo down on 9th and Commercial and it was a short walk up to the Henry's on University Ave.! Man I musta been around 5 years old and can still remember loving their burgers and fries!!!!!

I remember eating at Henry's when I was growing up in Cedar Falls, Iowa. They were the best fast food burgers ever. I still have an unopened kite I got there once.

A blast from the past. At the end of this clip is an OLD (1969) Henry's TV commercial: http://www.fuzzymemories.tv/screen.php?c=2611&p=1&m=Henry

I remember back in the 70's there was a Henry's at Merle Hay and Douglas in Des Moines. We sure miss it! They used to have 10 hamburgers for $1.00.

A short interview with Lt. Colonel and former Tuskegee Airmen at Henry's Hamburgers on 6/19/09 can be seen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow2iY_bT4Ck. Thank you Henry's for helping to make this happen!

Wheeling, IL, 1970, just across the street from K-mart. What I remember (not trying to be gross) is the smell from blocks away. It smelled like stinky armpit! All you have to do is type Henry's Hamburgers into a search engine (I use Dogpile) and you will have tons of info. The best is retro pix on ameshistoricalsociety . org. .15, .20 cents? Phillips 66? Does that say .23 cents/gal??? I remember the Clark station when it was .26 cents. Wait... is that a Corvair? The O-Rings rocked. PS: A little earlier in time- does anyone out there remember Skippy Peanut Butter & Bacon?? It was Bac-Os, not real bacon. I've searched all over...

I remember going to Henry's when it first opened up in 1959. Years later whenever I would go inside to order, the aroma coming from the cooking area through the order window smelled exactly like my grandmother's kitchen!! It was such a memory that brought tears to my eyes whenever I sensed the aroma. The new restaurant doesn't bring that, sadly. But I still have the memory(smile) Also when my boyfriend, now husband, and I would go out we would go there and watch the cars and see whoever was there.

As a young girl(one years of age) I have been eating at Henry's Hamburger! And I love the fries!My favorite thing was the 1/2 pound of fries!

When I was heading out to play cards or go play bingo, the first stop always had to be Henry's! And when we brought the family, everyone had their "I gotta have" order; Carl-1/2 pounds of fries, Malinda, Stacy, and Claudell-Double cheeseburgers and Fries, and my favorite- Shrimp! I remember when the big awing blew off! And I've enjoyed working for Henry's; working crew and seeing all our customers. What a great joy! Lois

I hope the people of Henry's and its customers enjoy this little article I put up on my site. http://chibbqking.blogspot.com/2009/06/before-there-was-mcdonalds-special-2.html
