It appears to be a local favorite with the number of locals that seem to frequent the place. In my inquires i found that this is a cafe that has weathered the times. The kind of place you might see as you passed through these small towns in the 60's. It has the old charm with quite friendly people. It is a place of a long gone era that has survived into modern times by being what they do best. A local favorite for people looking for a simple place to eat tasty food.

I really did not know what to expect and followed his lead as I was driving. We parked in a lot nearby because there was construction on the river bank road (Front Street) that limited our access to the roadway. I would consider Harry's a true hole in the wall! A no frills place with a limited menu. They serve their lunch menu Monday through Friday, 11am to 1:30pm and the Dinner menu Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 4:30pm to 8:30pm. We walked inside, chose a table and had a seat. There were several other tables seated and enjoying their meals when we walked inside. The menus are on the table and we were quickly offered drinks. When our drinks arrived we placed our order. We both decided to order the cheeseburger with chips. A short while later our food arrived. The burgers looked delicious. I noticed the drinks and food were all provided with disposable plates and cups. It was pretty clear the burger was not frozen. It appeared to be a hand formed patty. The cheese appeared to be similar to Kraft singles. I had fresh onion and lettuce on mine which was perfect. Overall this was a great stop and I would return. The burger was perfect. The price was reasonable. The service was exceptional and our drinks were filled before asking. There is an active railroad track on the other side of Fuller Street across from Harry's which is very close. A train came by while we were eating and we could hear it well, and our table shook. I now consider myself a fan. They are very good at what they do and considering they have been in business since 1954, they are a local favorite!

Everyone's food was good, but I was a little bummed with my own. I wanted popcorn shrimp, but buffalo. I got popcorn shrimp that was not even warm, wasn't crispy-more like soggy, and was coated in a sauce that was a translucent oily something. No heat other than black pepper. I asked for it to be warmed and they did just that, nuked it and it came back at a warmer temp, but the food was still mid. I would go back of course, but I'll opt for some other dish the next time. The atmosphere is fun and a neat place to go, so definitely give them a try. The servers are always fantastic and on top of things.

It's got the same vibe it's had for the last 30 years. Plenty of seating in their two dining rooms, with both booths and tables available. They have dinner plates, quick lunch foods, scrumptious desserts, and ice cream! The owner is always around joking and chatting with everyone and offers free ice cream for the kiddos, which we greatly appreciate! I love to stop in, even if only for ice cream. They have a great Hot Fudge Cake. There are video games in the one dining room so something for kids to do if you're willing to give them a dollar or two to blow while you wait. There is one comical thing about this place, though. The women's bathroom. It's clean and all, but if you know, you know. It cracks me up every time I go in there.

The draft list was only accessible by scanning the QR code. Not normally an issue for me but it was a little annoying since my cell service wasn't great in this area. I finally got it to pull up and asked for the Angry Troll PB Porter (I forget the name), the waiter asked if I wanted a sample first and I was so happy he did because it was not very peanut buttery to me. I decided to try a can of Docs: Pumpkin cider which ended up being a MUCH better choice for me. It was delicious. We started with some cheese curds as an appetizer. The kids split a kids cheese pizza (it comes with fries) and my bestie and I split a Philly Cheesesteak pizza. The cheese curds were amazing! I didn't try the kids pizza although the fries seemed a little over seasoned, especially since they were served to kids. My Philly pizza was not great though. The primary taste was banana peppers. Not meat, not cheese...the vinegar-y, sour taste of banana peppers. I was not a fan. Then the bill comes....I guess I should have asked for the price of the cider (NONE of the beer has a price listed.) My CAN of Doc's cider was $9.50. Not sure if that's normal in this area but in Durham, that can would have only been $6 (MAYBE $7.) TLDR; service - good, drinks - expensive, food - hit or miss.
