Lower quality seafood at higher prices served with a degree of East-side skank located in the industrial ghetto. AYCE shrimp for $22 was a waste of money. The shrimp were small, served fried, grilled, or scampi. All versions were cheap and uninspired. The quality was incredibly bad. The snow crab was dusky in color and high-maintenance to consume. $75 a person market price for all you can eat snow crab? Two stars for the decent bread, 1980's salad bar and Florida-ish decor. The wait staff? Well they tried. Otherwise, I don't get this place. Why go here when Red Lobster offers much better quality and value? read more

The place looks a bit dated, I won't lie, but the food and service made up for that. I did the $65 AYCE Crablegs. I made a salad at the salad bar and all of it tasted fresh. It was clean and all the items on the salad bar were well stocked. I ordered a baked potato to go with my crablegs, but I was not there to eat potato, I was all about the crab. I ate a bit of the potato and it was a potato. lol The crab! The crab was very clean, sweet, and the shells cleaned easily. The server kept the crab coming! It was so good. Towards the end of my meal I decided to try out an order of london broil. It was 3 pieces that were the perfect sampling size. For $65 I felt like I more than got our monies worth. read more

I've driven by this place place a countless number of times and only now have bucked up and actually tried it... The interior is a little dated, but the murals are super cool and everything looked really nice and clean. Our server was AMAZING and explained the menu... Do me a favor and just get the all you can eat crab. You'll get all the crab legs you want AND anything else on the all you can eat menu AND unlimited trips to the salad bar. I ordered a combo of the 12oz strip and 1 crab cluster and I added a cluster and that came with one trip to the salad bar... I ordered my steak medium rare and it was a bit undercooked. I've seen others complain about this, so just order medium if you want medium rare I guess? The steak itself was really good, and the crab was great! Everything was hot and presented well. No complaints other than the temp of my steak. My wife got the AUCE crab and only sampled the London Broil other than the crab and it was great! Our server brought out multiple plates of crab without asking and was super attentive. The salad bar was clean and everything looked/tasted fresh, and I usually hate salad bars, but this was actually really nice. I saw them replenish multiple items multiple times, so I felt like everything was in order. Bar service was quick, out server was amazing and the food was outstanding! Maybe a little expensive depending on the day.. AUCE crab was $65, but well worth it in my opinion and I regret not getting that so I could try a little of everything. I can't understand the low ratings of others... Harbor House is AMAZING! read more

This was my first time here with my wife, her first as well. My mother talked about going to Harbor House when she was pregnant with me 40 years ago and having the same all you can eat crab! On the food, it was excellent! 3 out of 4 of us got the AYCE Crab Legs and they didn't not disappoint! We all had 4-6 rounds of 2 or 3 cluster each. Never had to wait to ask for more, they just kept bringing them out at the perfect time! My wife got the AYCE but no crab as she allergic to shellfish. She started with the fresh perch and it was awesome! A crisp, light breading that was golden brown! Her second dish was the ribs! The sauce was a little sweet for her liking but still good! The service was a little slow at first but this was due to a very large party that was just getting served when we arrived. Would definitely go back!!!! read more

Harbor House - All the empty crab legs! - American Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

Came in on a Friday really excited for this $22 endless shrimp for them to tell me and my bf that they don't do that anymore, would have to do the $37 all you can eat instead. A business that has false advertisement is a place I'll never eat again. It was pretty pricy and the food wasn't even that good. read more

When you walk in the decor is very cool. The mural throughout the restaurant is gorgeous. It definitely makes you feel "under the sea." Jessica our server is wonderful. The wait staff work extremely hard running food out to tables since it's all you can eat. They do a great job at making sure there's always food on our plate. We normally get all you can eat, but their dinner specials are cheap and great too. I love the salmon, London broil, crab, and lobster. They have really good frog legs too. The salad bar is clean and has a nice selection of soups and "hot items". They have a great bar and make a lot of good specialty drinks. My daughter loves that they give her ice cream after dinner too. read more

not the greatest appealing location. been here twice and a wanted to Barf each time. cold food steak overly chewy

The food was good. Service was a bit lacking. Server smelled of cigarettes every time they were at the table. Restaurant was clean. Nice salad bar. read more

I love LOVE THIS LOCATION!! They need to either change the name or close down the other Harbor House in Detroit because it truly does not hold the reputation and give the name the respect it deserves at their location! The food is overpriced and not good! The menu doesn't match and the service is always horrible! I walked out of the other location to drive to Groesbeck because I refused to accept the low service value! Upon my arrival, we were greeted by Mignon (not sure if I spelled it right) but she was simply AWESOME! She was friendly, pleasant, attentive and she made sure she kept those refills coming for our AYCE items! She made sure our drinks were refilled in a timely manner and just overall ensured our satisfaction. Salad bar was filled and fresh, I love me a good salad bar so this was one of my favorite parts about it! Love the full bar experience as well! The ambiance is always good! She made sure we enjoyed everything, if something wasn't up to par! She was a breeze especially seeing that there aren't a lot of people who value customer service anymore but she definitely impressed us and we cannot wait to come back to sit in her section and eat more good food!! Thank you Clinton Township for still being Harbor House!!! read more

Five of us dined at Harbor House. I think three will return and two won't. I am one of the two who will not. The server was very friendly but had not been fully trained. He did not know how to open a bottle of wine among other things. Three of us ordered the salmon with a special sauce and baked potato. The baked potatoes were hard due to not being fully cooked and the toppings we ordered were missing. The salmon was not even warm and had the wrong sauce. Two people ordered the prime rib and said it was very good. It also looked good and I wish I had ordered that instead of the salmon. We all liked the bread. A couple hummers were ordered for after dinner drinks and they were exceptional. read more

We went here recently 01/07/24 for my birthday and everything was perfect! They have a really great all you can eat deal for 35 bucks! The service was wonderful! Joe our waiter definitely earned his tip. He was very professional and polite and funny. The atmosphere was very relaxed and we really enjoyed taking pictures underneath the giant swordfish. I will be coming back forsure. Definitely a birthday to remember. Thanks Harbor House! read more

We went to this restaurant because we were looking for a salad bar. This one was alright - I'd be curious what hot items are included outside of thanksgiving time. The flavor of everything we ate was perfect, although my piece of salmon was pretty small. I will say that while we were there, the man at the table next to us was extremely angry and ended up walking out when our food was delivered and no one had even come to take his family's order yet. Our service was wonderful, and I'm not sure what was going on there. As far as ambiance, the first thing you will notice when you walk into this place is the stunning mural work on every surface. Well worth a visit just to see them. read more

It's ok, but nothing special. Went there and had an ok meal, but not going to be going back anytime soon

We were very excited to try the all you can eat crab for my sons birthday. Came in on a Wednesday around 5:30pm. The waiter was super chill and helpful about menus options. The salad bar was okay good ranch dressing but nothing special. The hot bar was not very good the soups were gloopy and not very flavorful. The mac n cheese was okay but again nothing special. Now to the crab it was cooked fine but you could tell us was on ice and being warmed because some of it was not hot at all. The bread was warm and brought to the table. Overall I don't think we would be back not bad but not good either. read more

Have lived down the street for over 10 years. Never stopped in. Last thanksgiving we had nowhere to go and I didn't want to cook. They were opened so we figured why not. OMG!! We had the best service ( thanks Mandy) and had a wonderful dinner with the soup and salad bar. Everything was fresh and the clam chowder was sooo good. So now here we December 26th and are having a wonderful post Christmas dinner. Thank you to the Mighion family. You take great care of us and we appreciate you! read more

Not like it used to be to be. Place needs a major overhaul! 2 of my four crab orders were cold. I quit going here.

We walked in and the hostess actually looked annoyed when I asked if we could sit on the bar side of the restaurant. Our waiter was not friendly or cheery, had zero recommendations and just acted as if he was going through the motions. After we ordered I think our waiter just assumed we knew our meals included a trip to the salad bar. He left came back and said" you can go get a salad". Um ok. It was never mentioned. Just bizarre. The salad bar was good, so was the bread. I ordered my shrimp steamed, it came deep fried. My beer came in a glass and looked as if someone drank half of it on the way to the table and I paid for a bottle. Our friends cod was chewy, and our waiter suddenly became friendly in the parking lot as we were leaving. We never complained, but if we are going to pay $165 for a meal plus a tip, We expect more. Also, the bathrooms were disgusting. We won't go back!!! read more

Love going to this place the first time was 34 years ago and I'm still going. It's been redecorated, but the owners are the same. I met their mom and the two brothers who now run the place. Of course it was a lot cheaper back then, the menu hasn't changed much. I don't like the downtown location. It's about 30 minutes from my house but it's worth the drive to me. They could use an upgrade in the restrooms though looks like it hasn't been touched in a while. They're clean but that's about it. The waiters are always nice and polite. And very attentive. read more

I haven't been here in since I was a kid but I saw a Tik Tok about the AYCE crab legs and it looked decent so we went. Our server was Jessica and she was attentive, nice and kept the crab coming. We never had to ask for her to bring more. She would just keep bringing it out. I can imagine that if it was a busier evening you may have to wait but I don't know for sure. You can also switch what you want from order to order. If you don't want crab after a few rounds you can get shrimp, ribs, chicken or fish prepared various ways since they're included in the AYCE. It's decent crab. Not great but for AYCE it was good. The salad bar was clean and fresh and had a few soups. They bring fresh bread which was really tasty. I had some shrimp scampi along with my crab which was decent. My husband had a burger and said it was good. My teens are big seafood lovers so for $55 they can eat all they want and it's good deal. We'll be back. read more

Harbor House - Best place within 100 miles - American Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

The seascape mural when you walk in (look up!) is charming and sets some high expectations for a good experience. Unfortunately I ordered the crab and was left disappointed as it was very dry. It seemed like the crab was left under a hot light for way too long.. the crab had lost almost all its flavor. read more

I tried the all you can eat (AYCE) crab legs for $70. The seafood chowder was tasty. Seemed like the crab leg clusters got progressively larger the longer we stayed. I happily ate myself into oblivion! We had a new server who started that day so not sure if the service is always this good with the other servers but ours was very attentive and kept the legs a-comin', just like I like it! As for the decor, it was dated, worn and poorly lit for my taste. I did a little research before going here and the price as advertised on the websites I visited was $50, upon arrival I saw they had raised it to $60 according to the menu prices. Once the hostess seated us, we were told the crab leg AYCE was $70, so I was initially disappointed about the unexpected price hike, but I'm pretty sure I ate more than that in food so I got over it pretty quickly, lol! read more

This was my first visit to Harbor House and I was not disappointed. The food was great and it was an overall great customer experience. I ordered the Time Bandit which is a 12 oz New York Strip with a Crab Cluster, choice of potato, and a trip to the soup and salad bar. I ordered my steak with sautéed onions and mushrooms and they really loaded it up! The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. The baked potato was hot and fluffy, my wife ordered hers loaded and it was loaded! The salad bar was stocked and had other option like Mac and cheese. The star of my meal was the crab leg cluster! They tasted so good. The sweet crab meat taste with a subtle saltiness that made me craving more! They also have real good dinner specials and some all you can eat options including an all you can eat crab leg dinner that I will be returning for! I thought the price points were more than fair. A great value for what I got. The staff were very friendly. They were quick! Kept our drinks refilled. They got our food out fast and checked back to make sure everything was good. They also paid attention and got our bill out and closed fast! I will definitely be returning to Harbor House! If your in the area and looking for some good surf and turf or some crab legs that don't stop then Harbor House is the place for you! read more

What an absolute disgrace it is for this place to still be open and call their themselves serving customers. It took my family two hours to receive their meal this past week. The waitress finally admitted to us that there was only one person in the kitchen, cooking food for the entire restaurant. Speechless. read more

Hasn't been the same prepandemic! Crabs we're old reheated too many times and we're not seasoned well.

Patricia Hyson Collins This was a lie and this restaurant ruined my families Christmas dinner. All you can eat means you can go for more correct? When some of my family went for seconds for their "all you can eat Christmas dinner" they were charged $35 and the manager would not correct the bill!! And the food was terrible...I had steak and it was 1/3 fat...and the stuffing for the Christmas meal was so salty they could not eat it. One member was charged for a salad bar they never ordered, one ordered carry out and didn't get part of the meal, one was charged for pop they never ordered....the worst part the manager would not make any of this right!!! We ended up paying almost $400!!!! for a meal for 12 which included 3 small children that was not worth even $100!!! Do not go here! The manager would not listed and do anything about our problems and did not seem to care....this place has went downhill!!!! read more

Dinner was delicious and loved the salad bar. The waitress was very accommodating and friendly. Loved the decor, took a couple pics.

I met with a friend at the Harbor House a couple of weeks ago, Bc she had been wanting to for the all you can eat crab legs, bc of the special pricing on Monday's. I had been to this location once before 3 years ago, and I remember not totally being satisfied at all with the food, or the service. However; I felt I would try again as that was a long time ago. I believe I was left more disappointed in my recent visit, than I was 3 years ago. So, upon walking in (I went at 6:00 pm, the day after Mother's Day). The restaurant looked trashed, like old napkins and food under tables, seats were dirty, and my table was actually dirty. I glanced over at the salad bar, and soup station, the food looked like it had been sitting out for some time. So that was the first time off. My waitress greeted me, and took my drink order. I told her I was waiting for a friend; however; I knew that we both were ordering the all you can eat crab legs. So i asked her if she could put the order in now, that would be fine. The waitress explained that she could. So bought bread out, and told me I could help myself to the salad bar. Just as I was going to text my friend to maybe pick another restaurant option, Bc it seemed like the restaurant was all out of wack, she walked in. My friend showed up about 25 minutes later, and the waitress actually had not been back. Once my friend arrived, the waitress came back to take her drink order. We still waited about 15 more minutes for crab legs. And once the crab legs were out, she gave us a small plate, explaining more would come, but no buckets, no nothing else. I had ordered a baked potato as a side, and asked for fried mushrooms. That literally took 20 more minutes, on top of the 40 minutes I had already been there. The waitress kept blaming the cooks, and the fact that the restaurant was so swamped the day before due to Mother's Day. And that was the reason why the orders were going so slow. Anyway; this pattern of the food coming out slowly continued for another hour. My friend ordered Prime Rib and never received it, I ordered fried shrimp, finally received my order of shrimp as we were wrapping up. And as the waitress did bring out more crab legs, the butter I had hardened. It was such a disaster! To pay $45.99, or whatever the discounted price is on Mondays, for the lackluster service and the food was mediocre. Definitely not worth another trip to give it another shot. I'm more of disappointed that the waitress continued to use the excuse as to why everything was delayed Bc of Mother's Day, which was the day before. There really was no excuse for the service or the delay in food. read more

7/30/23 what can I say, Harbor House. Thank you, thank you, the crab legs was a blast! My server Ashley was all that and more, she was very attentive to my crab leg addiction she made sure my plate was full at all times and kept my glass full. Harbor house thank you for feeding that craving for good old crab legs that I haven't had in a while, and thank you Ashley. Oh i forgot to mention we were visiting from chicago and Ashley and Harbor house has made our trip a blast!!!!!!! read more

Great service for the party size of 12, food was awesome. Could've had more lighting, nonetheless we had an amazing time!!

This place actually reminds me a little of one of my childhood favorites growing up on the east coast, a chain called Chesapeake Bay Seafood House. Yes, you can get a single order of something...but that's not why you come here. You come here to pay $39.99 to get access to the entire All You Can Eat menu and go nuts. The $39.99 is the top of the food chain here, crab legs. Once you order these, you can get as much as you want of anything else on the menu. Shrimp. Scallops. Chicken marsala. Pork chops, either barbecued or breaded and smothered. And a whole host of other options as well. Now, I dinged them one star for one simple reason - they advertise and heavily promote alaskan crab legs...but they're not alaskan KING crab legs. And let's be honest, they know that's what people think when they see "Alaskan Crab Legs", and so they know that's a draw...but all things being equal, the crab legs they do have and serve are well prepared, sweet, and I'm pretty sure I hurt myself with my third plate of them after sampling some of the other options and wanting to go back for more crab legs. Drink prices are reasonable...though the beer selection isn't really all that great. If they brought in a few local microbrews, it would really be a spot that I'd want to go back to more often...but what they have doesn't suck, so it's passable. All in all, I'll definitely be going back. Some day. Because I'm still full from the other night... read more

Harbor House - Make sure you try the "main" lobster :) - American Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

I was here on 4/4/23 at 7:30pm the server which was very rude and annoyed with my party of 10. We came in he showed us to a table then appeared to be very confused kept leaving and then coming back like he was filling in as a server. He yelled at us because he couldn't get the drink order right. Brought the wrong food to the table never asked us about our next meal selection (all you can eat). Never smiled or listened to us at all. I come here at least 4 times a year @ $35.00 a head can be a lot. We had a clump of blonde of Blonde Caucasian hair in our shrimp then he gets mad at Us and ask what you want a free meal? We are black with Negro hair with braids and I have a curly Afro. This is not a race issue this is a poor service situation and a person who is not suitable to serve as a server. While taking our order he kept going to check out other tables? I spent $326.00 the service was awful until a real server was placed at our table. I will never go to this Harbor house again I have been going here for at least 20 years you had to be there to really feel how bad we were treated. And this was on my Birthday Wow just Wow. read more
