California isn't known for its barbecue, but if you have a craving for steak or BBQ, head to Henry's. They have an unconventional seating system, so make sure to grab a number as soon as you get in the door and start thinking about your order. And grab a drink at the bar while you wait. If you're confused, just asked the others around you and they will help you figure it out.
