I'm a fan of ur food, but I don't do spicy food. And it was a tad bit too spicy for me. But maybe I'll go for a different kinds of comfort food.

If anyone who has been to Harry's. I would greatly appreciate it. But the food was awesome and tasty.

When I asked about brunch appetizers I was told by the waiter “It isn’t proper etiquette to have appetizers before brunch”. Than my friend ordered fries as sides and the food runner accidentally gave her feta fries instead of normal fries. They brought the normal fries out, left it on our table for about 5 minutes and literally came back and took the fries off our table. She said “you’ll be charged for the regular fries not the feta fries” but it was her mistake giving us the feta fries instead of the regular.

Can never go wrong with Harry's. Came here for brunch with a few friends after finals. Their gravy biscuits came with jalapeños sausage on the side (I don't eat pork but my friends do). They were warm and soft and the gravy had a consistent creamy texture. Their croquettes were to die for--delicious and a slight crunch to it.
Their mere da pancakes could use more bananas. I ordered their chocolate spread on the side instead of in between the pancakes (2 pancakes). Thank god I did--I couldn't imagine eating this much chocolate with my pancakes. It would have greatly overpowered

Although the wait time tends to be long, the food is worth the wait! If you want to skip the wait don't come on the weekends but rather in the week.

DO NOT RECOMMEND !!

As a business owner, this whole experience was unacceptable by ALL parties of management!

I've been to this restaurant several times before today, never had any issues until now!

Unfortunately I had to witness a manager JOHN, who is the son of the OWNER, talk extremely disrespectful to an employee in the middle of the restaurant in front of all customers. Using profanity and all.

I proceed to ask for the owner, he comes over and states well if you have to tell an employee something more than once than it's okay to to talk to them like that. EXCUSE ME! That

The original Harry's diner opened in 1948 but has since undergone a change in ownership and numerous renovations and menu revamps to take its current form. The dining room is clean and bright, with lots of bright blue and tan colors. The clientele is young and well-dressed. We stopped by sans reservation on a Sunday around 1 PM and there was a 30-minute wait. Our bubbly server was decisive and honest in her assessment of the dishes, which was much appreciated.

From the eclectic, globally inspired menu, I selected the Chilaquiles Divorciados, which I found to be a great take on a classic Mexican

I haven't been to this place in over ten years. I used to go there frequently as I used to work nearby.
Parking is limited. I will say about twenty cars can fit in the lot. Rest park in the street.
Had problem downloading the online menu. I had no problems getting a paper one. The place has been remodeled too. There is a spacious lobby where seating used to be. Yeah it is a lot more spacious for the customers.
Ice water is served in steel cups and wait staff were very attentive.
I ordered orange juice. It came fresh squeezed. Really fresh and the price reflected it 5.50 for a 12 ounce glass

Great spot. Gets very busy after 9:30am on Sunday. Brought my little doggo with us to sit in their patio. Just fyi, they do have bigger than normal portions. Food is amazing. Service is top notch. Would visit again.

LOVED!!! Took my boyfriend here for breakfast and we had a great experience. We ordered a bottle of champagne, orange juice, and grapefruit juice which was around $15 I believe, but it was cheaper than both of us ordering 2 mimosas which made it worth it. I ordered spicy fried chicken and waffles, and he ordered a gyro. We both were in love with our meal! Our waitress was amazing and super funny, the environment is great, there's music but it is not too loud. There was a small kids menu and it seemed like a family friendly restaurant. There is a good sized alcohol menu. I would recommend it

I knew this place would have good food just from how packed it was outside. People were waiting with their luggage. It must be good if you head straight there from the airport. I was not disappointed. I had the papusa mañanera and orange juice. The orange juice tasted fresh squeezed. The pupusa was great! Honestly, I could have shared my plate. It was a lot of food. I'll be back.

My wife and I came here on a Sunday to eat for brunch. Omg! The food and drinks were amazing. The wait was about an hour so you’ll have to plan for that but it was well worth the wait. We ran errands until our table was ready. My wife had the meat and cheese omelette and I had the chicken and waffles. This place food is very fresh and the customer service was next level for us. They weren’t overly priced and the environment was amazing. We will definitely be returning as often as possible. Go check them out folks.

Really good! We enjoyed our time here. The line is long on the weekend but just call ahead and it should be okay. We got the llapingachos as an appetizers and it was really good. We got the baklava french toast and spicy chicken country breakfast. The baklava was so good, it was like ice cream on top of the French toast. The fried chicken was crispy and delicious. I recommend checking this place out.

Harrys I know youre a popular place to eat from the 35 minute wait we had to endure lol. So lets cut through the chase.
Waffle was Amazing I love love loved it!!!! Eggs (meh) and Lamb was ok.. I expected more for that cut of meat. It wasnt unseasoned just maybe the wrong seasoning and cooked very simple. BBUUUTTT Would I come back YES. Theres more on the menu to try but that waffle is enough to bring me in.

YES! It is worth the wait!
We waited for two hours on waitlist. 😎
But their service is amazing so we were added to the list and once our time came we did recieve our text in time.
Yes, it is busy but after trying the food and seeing the quality and tasting the amazing food I truly understand the reason why the wait is so long and it is so crowded.
I ordered the Greek Salad added with Lamb Chops. It was a great portion and I must say that the quality of cheese and ingredients was extremely good. They have a great variety of items on their menu that can attend to all. They do have alcohol

Absolutely OUTSTANDING food. Great service too. I ordered the Spitiko Greek Omelet (add sausage!) and it is so delicious. Hot, fresh, so savory. The food was quick to come out and everything was affordable too! Totally recommend to anyone wanting a good breakfast.

I do like Harry's, it was my second time coming, but the wait is so long. And I really don't like waiting 20 minutes after being seated to get coffee or water. Besides that, the food was great and our waiter was very nice.

Went here for a quick breakfast before going on a flight. The waiter was really nice. The food itself was just okay, nothing super exciting that I got. I best part was the cheesy potato cake. My friend got the shrimp omelet which tasted super fishy to me which makes me think the shrimp weren't that fresh.

Food was wonderful and our waiter was nice. The atmosphere was great as well. The fresh squeezed orange juice was the best and the handmade preserve. Just didn't like the online menus that we didn't know about before hand and my latte was alright although that's what I went there for. Was not able to get a design and the great cup of coffee like the other reviews had said. But overall it was nice. Will try to go back and get a good cup of coffee when the barista is there.

Absolutely amazing. I was initially confused by it being Latin American and Greek but omg this is a must try. My husband and I went one day for breakfast and it was great. Definitely try the chilaquiles and sage sausage omelette, the grilled biscuit with honey is an absolute MUST!!! We were thoroughly satisfied and had leftovers. The portions are big and the service is great.

I don't know how I let Harry's get past my foodie radar for so long. We were looking for a breakfast near downtown and stumbled across this place. We came on a weekday and parking was easy. They definitely social distance as it did not look terribly packed in there, but we still had about a 20 minute wait. No big deal when with good company. Originally they wanted to see us at the bar but we were able to get a table instead. Penny was our waitress and she was outstanding. We had great conversation and she gave excellent recommendations.

The coffee was nice and hot and my cup

This place is a really good breakfast spot!
We were welcomed as soon as we arrived and quickly shown to our table. The waitress was friendly and answered all questions we had about the menu.
I had the Perfect Combo which consists of perfectly fluffy eggs, thick bacon, and a tasty waffle. My wife had the Shrimp Omelet which comes with hash potatoes and avocado. The salsa on top was very rich and not too spicy. My mom opted for the Churrasco Platter which comes with a perfectly cooked grilled beef skirt, eggs, and potato cheese patties. She also ordered the Fried Yuca Croquettes, which she devoured

This is going to be a favorite go-to. They have a really great menu to select from with a lot of variety from American-style, Greek and Latin options. They homemake the butter, biscuits, jams, etc and you can definitely taste the difference.

We got the chilaquiles and the fried chicken and biscuit. Highly recommend both!
