Love this place! Best seafood chowder! Yes, worth going out of your way for! Ask for some bread with it and have a drink. Owner is great, kind and friendly. Waitstaff is on it! Better than the other restaurants that are packed full. read more

Harbor Grill - The owner is wonderful! !! Best seafood chowder! - Steakhouses Near Me - Homer, Alaska

King crab Chicken fettuccine Kids shrimp & chips Kids fish & chips Calamari-appetizer Total: $137 Food was terrible. Do not waste your time eating here. I REPEAT!! The food is a rip off!!!! The calamari was a waste. Any squid that we did happen to find underneath all the breading was dried out. I personally think that it comes in a frozen bag and all they do is re heat it. Yuck! The king crab shell was rubbery and extremely hard to crack into using the "cracking utensils" even including the scissors. Which tells me it was over cooked. The size was laughable. For $69 bucks you'd expect to get a good size leg. Nope. The kids shrimp and chips was all breading as well. It was a disappointment that in Homer, Alaska where they are more than capable of receiving fresh seafood to cook, this restaurant serves the worst sorry plates of seafood I've ever had. But then again, they couldn't even cook the chicken right with my chicken fettuccine that I ordered. (Burnt and dry) So, it's not only their seafood. All of the food was a giant rip off for the high prices on their menu. The service however, was alright. Well, okay. It actually wasn't too bad. Although we had horrible food and left hungry.... we still tipped the server well. We will never go back to this place. read more

I have literally had cafeteria food that was better. $270 for a dinner for 4. Complete and total trap. DO NOT EAT HERE.

Just give your money and support to another small business on the spit. Do not eat here. It took over an hour for our food to come out. We finally got tired of waiting and asked for them to just box it up. Meanwhile we watched tables who'd been seated after us receive their meal, eat and leave while we were left waiting. When we finally did get our food the serving sizes were paltry and not as described on the menu (missing key items or with things included that were not mentioned). The only reason that I am giving two stars is because the waitstaff truly felt bad and did their best to make up for our frustration. They offered to bring out some chowder on the house while we waited and sent us home with two free desserts. They did their best under the disappointing conditions happening in the kitchen. I wish we'd read reviews before walking in the door. read more

Food was a bit overpriced, had the prices of an upscale restaurant but not the atmosphere or service of one.

Fantastic seafood chowder. Everyone's dish was delicious - if someone left a bad review they are probably just being cheap.

Just don't go. Nothing was good. You'd expect a fish place to have good fish. Salmon still have the pin bones. Shrimp had the full shell on. Crab cakes over cooked. Ceviche was just fish and tomatoes. read more

Atrocious. Small portions. Bad food. Preposterously Overpriced. Decor isn't even very nice. Only redeeming aspect is the location. DO NOT EAT HERE read more

Harbor Grill - Tomato - Steakhouses Near Me - Homer, Alaska

Good grilled cheese, had amazing customer service. I had the mango lemonade and it was to die for!!!

The service was wonderful they get a 5/5 for that definitely. The food on the other hand was good but nothing special for what your paying. I first started with a bloody Mary and dark beer the bloody Mary garnishes were beautiful but the drink itself I didn't like it was missing something. I then had a cup of seafood chowder that was delicious and great flavor. For main meal I ordered seafood alfredo the scallops and prawns were fabulous but the salmon and halibut were very dry and overcooked. The food was overall average and not worth the price. I'm sure there are other choices on menu that are better. Neat decor great service but not worth cost. read more

They cooked our fresh caught halibut and it was delicious. Our party or 8 didn't have to wait for a table, and the service was good and quick. The sangria is sweet and refreshing! read more

Not the worst restaurant in AK as someone posted but far from the best either. Service was great, drinks were great, food was not. We had the "award winning" wings and honestly I need to know who the judges were for that award were because they tasted like wings with BBQ sauce. They weren't terrible but I was expecting...well more I guess for that title. I also had the Cesar salad and it was mediocre at best. So bottoms up and cheers to the good drinks we had! read more

Attended a group Dinner, about 30 people. Food was awesome. I had Steak, wife had the Chicken and others had the Taste of Alaska. Portions were huge, food came out hot, and everything tasted great. read more

The seafood chowder in the bread bowl was phenomenal! Service felt quick, staff was very friendly, and a very chill local vibe with views of the water and marina. read more

Extremely poor service and food quality. Took 2 hours to have dinner served and arrived undercooked (raw) and unseasoned. Sent plate back. read more

Food was definitely not worth the $124 spent in my opinion. Steamer clams did not taste great and had a stronger ocean after taste. The seafood Alfredo was good, would recommend and their house made lemonade was fabulous. Special of the day was halibut tacos. Tasted like cod and had some heat. I like spice but others may not. read more

Seafood chowder was amazing! Scallop entree was lackluster for being a special. Mashed potatoes reminded me of summer camp. Caesar salad was sparse. Not bad, just not great. Left satisfied but underwhelmed. I do not plans to return voluntarily read more

This place is open whenever they want, not the hours posted on Yelp or their own website. We showed for our reservations and the place was closed, finally called because we could see staff in the restaurant, first we were told that it was impossible for us to have a reservation as they weren't open. I told the lady to come look at my email confirmation and she said "oh you made it online, yeah we aren't open". Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere that is more reliable. read more

It was ok. The seafood fettuccini was decent. Wasn't much flavor to the sauce at all. Shrimp was over cooked but still good. Not worth the price honestly. The margaritas were definitely a margarita mix. Not sure there was alcohol at all and for 11 dollars i should be able to taste some sort of liquor. Ridiculous. I will say the bread was really good as well as the calamari! It was a very clean place which I appreciated and the staff was very nice! read more

Everywhere in Homer was booked on the 4th of July except Harbor Grill and they were able to accommodate my family of 16 people! Best fish tacos I've ever had, hands down. Really fun environment. read more

My girlfriend and I came into Harbor Grill and the service was amazing (thank you Victoria and Crissy) will definitely come back and let our friends know of this gem. We were there on the 4th of July, 2021. read more

We had lunch and drinks at the bar. Monica was fantastic. We are definitely.coming back to the harbor grill next time we are in Homer. read more

Excellent meal to taste Alaska. I started out with half a dozen local oysters that were a great start. The Halibut, salmon shrimp and scallops were perfectly cooked and delicious. The owner stopped by our table and welcomed us and chatted like we were regulars. Great place to stop by and the service was excellent and very attentive read more

horrible service, scammed, racist people the food was mid at best. and the sound in the restaurant was way loud

Oysters are not fresh when we ordered and the halibut was undercooked but the restaurant said they cook it medium.

September 2021 Got the seafood stew and the halibut & chips. Stew was a good portion size but bland Halibut and chips was very small and overcooked Overpriced but with so many places closed or fully booked this is a safe bet to eat after a 30 minute wait read more

Local review : my husband and I decided to try the harbor grill the other night for dinner .The harbor grill has new cooks every summer , we have lived here 13 years and it's really only been good once . My steak had good flavor but was over cooked . My husband got the seafood pasta , it was very obvious the seafood had been frozen and was very over cooked . The waitress gave a a round of drinks . We might go back to give them another try but I doubt it . read more

How this place is still in business is beyond comprehension! From the worst service with attitude I have ever experienced to the terribly over cooked and cold food served.... Words cannot explain this poor excuse for a restaurant! From the first words out of the bar tenders mouth as we took a seat at the bar "its going to be at least 10 minutes till i can get you a drink" to the one king crab leg for $80 dollars with cold mashed potatoes and brocollie to the over cooked halibut! What a joke! I would not recommend this place if my life depended upon it.... read more

Good food but lousy service. Was in and the server, who was also the bartender & looks like has no reason being in Alaska, did not even understand his menu; trying to charge me for an additional side when a dinner entree comes w 'vegetables & choice of rice or mash'. Then he is telling me that he is super busy, but the restaurant was not busy. Him and his fellow bartender need to work together to serve customers better. Good fried halibut though. read more

Really great oysters that we enjoyed. The seafood sampler is priced right and has a nice little variety. The downside being this place is priced a little high for the small portions provided. read more

My sister and I were visiting Homer and I had the best meal at the Harbor Grill. She got the king crab leg as an appetizer and was very pleased. It was cool to see how it was presented where you could pick out your own king crab leg for the size and price that you wanted. I had halibutFish and chips that were amazing moist fish light batter. I would highly recommend this place and they did a great job with short staffed. Well worth the wait of an hour and a half to get a table. Next time you're in the area don't skip this place. Waitress very friendly. read more

Harbor grill is very popular located near the docks. After an hour wait we were finally seated, we ordered drinks from the bar that were actually quite good however, these did not set the tone for the service. It took quite a while to receive the starter of salmon dip that was quite bland (having lived in alaska for 15 years I've tasted some salmon dip, unfortunately this is not the place to go for that). After 30 minutes we received our side salad and chowder, which neither stuck out to be the star of this meal. We waited my husband ordered the Alaskan bay tasting and I ordered the Seafood fettuccine. The raspberry sauce was odd on the salmon and his salmon was undercooked. The fettuccine was in desperate need for some seasoning, even simple salt and pepper would have helped it. At the end of our service and $130 bill I will not be returning it definitely was not worth the wait. read more

I took my grandkids here, as we waited to go a harbor wildlife tour. The service is excellent and very friendly. Our server knew the menu well, and was very attentive. The restaurant was very clean, a visit to the restroom I found it very clean, which tells me the kitchen is clean. I had an ordinary American breakfast, with two eggs, over easy, hash browns, bacon and toast. No complaints. The eggs were done probably, and it's hard to ruin hash browns. My grandkids had french toast and loved it...The servings are big. Everything came to us hot. The view of the harbor was beautiful. read more

Poor service and overprice. Any other location and this place would not make it. This places business model must be that tourist only eat here once. They are correct, I will never eat here again. read more

The worst restraunt in Homer and probably all of AK. The portion sizes are pretty small. Food was decent, but the service was the worst i've ever had. After being seated, it took an hour and 40 min to receive are dinner. Every 30 min the waiter would remind us "your food will be right out." After we complained he informed us that there is nothing he could do and we had asked to speak to the manager or owner. Cowardly, they did not come to our table. The restraunt was also not very crowded at all. For a table of 7, it costs $240 before tip, we wasted 2 hours and 40 min, and had mediocre food. Don't give this restraunt your service! read more

Had such high hopes and a hunger for fresh oysters. Had a fairly decent Bloody Mary so the spirits were high....and then began the wait.....and the wait... and the wait. Finally flagged down the server to check on our food and yes it came only problem is she left the oysters sitting there over 40 minutes were now covered in water instead of sitting on ice as ordered. Don't waste your time there are so many other choices that actually provide service. Bad service over priced. I would skip read more

Terrible meals and terrible service was not impressed should have went to McDonald's. Spent over 200$ on 4 adults and four children no one had a good meal! read more

I've given this place two chances before leaving this review. The first I had the fried seafood platter for $34 everything was dry, taste the same, all and all was not worth the money. The second time we had the fish and chips for $18 which was not pleasant. Each piece of nugget style cut fish was either rubbery, extremely dry, I had one piece that was mildly decent. The fries were hot crispy and honestly the only thing I enjoyed on the dish. The other was the grilled chicken salad for $15 looked like maybe 1/2 a piece of grilled chicken breast if that cut into strips and was just as crunchy and dry as the croutons on the salad, it did have fresh crisp lettuce. I do have to say the oysters were good though. This place has potential to be a great restaurant if they'd learn to not over cook the proteins and find some variety in their toppings (mango salsa on everything). The inside seating is good and the outside seating was really nice especially with the view. The bathrooms were clean which was also nice. The service was decent not the best. read more
