Real Steak. No Nonsense. Just Done Right. If you want a legit steakhouse in Keego Harbor -- not trendy, not overhyped, not trying too hard -- Harbor Steak House is it. This place feels like a classic Michigan steakhouse. Dark wood, comfortable atmosphere, solid bar, and a staff that knows what they're doing. It's the kind of spot you go when you actually want a properly cooked steak in Oakland County. Ordered medium. Got medium. Perfect crust, juicy center, seasoned right. No gimmicks. Just quality beef cooked the way it's supposed to be. The sides are traditional steakhouse staples -- exactly what you want with a great cut of meat. Nothing overcomplicated. Just good food that makes sense. If you're searching for the best steak near West Bloomfield, Orchard Lake, Sylvan Lake, or Waterford, this place belongs in the conversation. Service was professional and efficient. No hovering. No attitude. Just solid hospitality. What I respect most? Consistency. Harbor Steak House doesn't try to reinvent the steakhouse -- it just executes it well. And sometimes that's exactly what you want. read more

Five of us had an enjoyable evening of food, wine, and laughter. The service was outstanding and the owner visited the table a couple times. We each ordered different entrees and each was excellent. High ratings on the steaks and homemade potato chips. There is an excellent selection of wines at various price points. The decor is old school steak house. We will return and I recommend you enjoy a meal at Harbor Steak House read more

First things first, Cynthia is an amazing person and it was such a pleasure to meet her. Because of her this place definitely deserves 5 stars! Next, can we talk about how freaking delicious the butter for the new bread basket is?! Like yes the bread changed but who cares because that butter was the winner of the entire meal. I just kept eating it and even added it to my steak. I love the changed and willing to embrace the new trend. The removed a lot of things in the menu, but that's ok because it's new owner. I am sad the mussels are gone (please bring new dish with them back!). Ordered the strip and it was seasoned and cooked well. The herb rice is a healthy and interesting taste. I enjoyed the veggie melody a lot. The table also had the burger which was seasoned well also. We also had a ribeye that was delicious too. The zip sauce was a nice choice for them also. I order a non-alcoholic mocktail and that won me over. I love when I can go out and have a nice drink that's nonalcoholic. I order "From Quam with Love". It had like blood orange and OMG so good! All the waitstaff were amazing and our waiter (forgot his name) was cool as heck. Very helpful and very honest. Needless to say I will be coming back specifically for the butter and my drink! read more

What's old is new! Very pleased to come back to Harbor Steak House. New ownership and updated since our last time here a decade ago. Menu did not disappoint and Prime Rib as Friday special was great. The entire experience made for a good night out. New owner was on the floor visiting tables. If you are looking for a local steak house and great menu choices, you definitely need to check back in at Harbor Steak House. read more

Just stopped by first time in 12 years, (moved) Great happy hour, enjoyed talking to the bartender Ashley and the owner Michael was there, super friendly place to have a drink. Five star clam chowder very good wings Steve read more

Excellent. A true turnaround. Over the years, this neighborhood icon had declined and I had basically written it off. I still occasionally enjoyed the clam chowder (that was previously only offered at this seafood place on Fridays), but had long ago stopped bringing guests here. The atmosphere was dated, the menu was uninspired, and the food quality was mediocre at best. It was definitely in need of a Kitchen Nightmares sort of intervention. I visited it last night after noticing new signage and a busier parking lot and I am glad I gave it another chance. It certainly earned it. If you haven't been here recently, give it a try. The atmosphere is vastly improved and appropriately updated while still managing to retain its soul as a quaint and relaxed village restaurant specializing in steaks and seafood. The menu is new and more interesting than before and the food quality is remarkably better than it has been in many years. The clam chowder is still good and, while the bread has changed, the balsamic vinegar infused butter was surprisingly delicious. The service was never a problem here, but morale seems to have improved, nonetheless. It is a reasonable and appropriate place to bring guests to again. read more

9/9/2015 my husband brought me to my favorite neighborhood steak house, Harbor Steak House. I can't say enough about this place as this is my second review. The new owners are so nice and very pleasant to visit. They often stop by the tables to visit with their guest to make sure everything is perfect and for us it always has been. The ambiance is cozy, welcoming with a nice fireplace to dine by on those cool crisp nights. The food has ALWAYS been spot on for us and hopefully you too should you stop in. There is outside seating for those nice evenings and the bar area seems to be fun too by listening to all the laughter. I've posted pics on my first review and only tonight's dinner and margarita for this review. The best thing about HS is we walk here as it's in our neighborhood along with other walkable shops and restaurants. Nothing fancy about KH but the restaurants are locally owned and super friendly as are the local shops. Darn it I don't see my first review from last yr so maybe you can only review a business once?? read more

We came here on a date night and had a great evening. We shared everything and got the following: Brussel sprouts (amazing!), tenderloin tips, side salad, chicken piccata and the carrot cake. You have to get the carrot cake even if you have to take it home. It's fresh, moist, and the icing is perfect. Everything was really good and we finished everything but the carrot cake. The only thing I didn't care for was the citrus vinaigrette that we got with the salad. It was too oily. You have to try the house made butter that comes with the bread. It's very tasty! The ambience was pleasant and it was nice and quiet. We enjoyed our service with Josh as well. He was friendly and attentive. We will be back soon. read more

I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND It has been a while since I ate at Harbor Steak House. My friend recommended we meet there for dinner and I immediately said "No." I am SO glad she convinced me to give it a try! We had a delightful meal in an inhurried visit. The atmosphere and food have dramatically improved in the time I moved out of state. [My friend said they changed hands.] I chuckled as I read the menu but the food was wonderful. I had a steak and my meal was prepared perfectly and the prices were very reasonable! While there are many choices of places for me visit when I am in town from Colorado, I will definitely be back. read more

Ambiance was old school comfortable. Nothing fancy but nice. Service was good. Expected glorified bar food. It wasn't. The food was surprisingly good. The first thing we had was the tomato soup. It knocked our socks off. For the gluten free people everything is thickened with corn starch. So all soups are a go. Cesar had strong taste of anchovies, which I really like and the croutons were obviously house made. The halibut was very good, the street corn and Brussel sprouts were exceptional. In fact the sprouts were the best I've had and I've had a lot. All in all, I'll be back very soon. read more

Love this place! Highly recommend the pork tacos on Tuesdays and the prime rib special on Friday and Saturday.

Wonderful new look and facelift! We ordered steaks, short-ribs, and Seafood pasta - everything was fantastic! Great new wine list and delicious, right out of the oven sour dough bread served with balsamic butter - very nice touch. Met the owner Michael - very kind and hospitable! We will definitely be back!! read more

Harbor Steakhouse is our favorite! Whether it's a Tuesday night or a special celebration, this spot always delivers on its promise of an exceptional meal. The tacos are an amazing and the best in town. What truly sets them apart, however, is their incredible attention to detail with gluten-free modifications. It is such a relief to dine at a place that makes GF diners feel like a priority rather than an afterthought, without ever sacrificing flavor or texture. AND the bar always impresses, the mixed drinks are never a disappointment you're looking for a reliable, top-tier dining experience, Harbor Steakhouse is the place to be. read more

Excellent hamburger. Friendly atmosphere and good service. Needs support for a mom and pop venue

I normally don't respond to nonsense, but this review is wildly irresponsible. I've been to Harbor Steakhouse multiple times and I've never seen anything remotely close to what's being claimed here. Every visit has been consistent: the restaurant is clean, the food is excellent, and the owners/staff have always been professional and welcoming. The atmosphere is solid, service is on point, and it's been a great experience every time. What was posted above reads like someone using Yelp as a weapon, not someone giving legitimate customer feedback. If you want a real opinion, go in and judge it based on the actual experience--because Harbor Steakhouse absolutely delivers. read more

Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere with great staff members at the reception and serving the tables. The owner goes around the tables to greet, and we live that. The food was delicious but a bit too oily for my taste. I had Chicken Masala. My hubby did enjoy the steak though. We will definitely go back there and try other items. :) read more

What a fantastic experience! Food was amazing! Just opened for lunch and it's a must! Extensive menu, so many options-from filet to salmon, the most delicious burger, seafood chowder and chicken wings. Try it out, you won't be disappointed! Full bar, plus cocktails and mocktails! New owners are so friendly and hospitable and really care about your experience. Staff went above and beyond, service was impeccable and attentive! Interior is so cozy with the fireplace and beautifully elegant without being stuffy. Patio opening soon! Can't wait for summer! read more

I'm so glad I gave Harbor Steak House a shot because the whole experience was honestly fantastic. I was looking for a solid meal and the Prime Rib absolutely delivered--it was seasoned perfectly, super juicy, and cooked exactly how I like it. It's easily one of the best I've had in the area. You also can't go wrong with their sourdough bread; that balsamic butter is seriously addictive. Between the great food and the friendly, "old-school" vibe Michael and Cynthia have going on, it's a total gem. I'll definitely be back for another round soon read more

The owners are wonderful. Our Entrees were magnificent. Do not forget the try the seafood Chowder, it's the best! read more

New owners did an amazing job! Food is fresh and homemade! SO GOOD :D Definitely going back. read more

Went here over the weekend. The Ribeye was fantastic. Can't wait to go back for the Lamb Chops. Service was great.

Great food and drinks, really cool atmosphere. Ideal place to hit again and again. Outside of the obvious steaks, the French dip and crabcakes are awesome. read more

I must say I hadn't dined at Harbar steakhouse for quite a while, but decided to try it out after I heard it was under new ownership. First off the ambience was very pleasant with nice lighting and I love the long bar. I'm a clam chowder junkie and had to try that and I have to say it was flavorful and robust. For the main course, I ordered the seafood linguine and it was perfectly balanced with lots of seafood and a tasty white sauce. The portions were plentiful and I 100% will be returning in the near future... I also like that they have extended happy hour. Kudos to Michael and Cynthia for Keego Harbor gem. read more

Sounds to me like Kennie R has a problem, certainly not the Harbor Steak House. I have eaten there many times for dinner as well as for their wonderful happy hour and have never had anything but excellent food. The owners, Michael and Cynthia, are very special people who always take care of their guests. Don't take someone's negative comments, try it for yourself. You won't be disappointed. read more

My wife and I had an excellent experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our server was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The new owner is extremely friendly and personable. The food was delicious-- my steak was perfectly cooked. We will definitely be back and highly recommend. read more

Decided to go back to HSH for cocktails with Ashley tonight , Best decision ever!. wonderful locals at the bar who were raving about the lobster roll, and the Piedmontese burger. Next time I'm here I will be having the Piedmont cheeseburger. read more

Service was impeccable , immediately greeted and seated. The interior was old school steak house seafood vibe. Local establishment that's been around for years. I've passed it thousands of times but decided to try it out tonight. Steak was cooked to order, nothing fancy. Hard to mess up a steak and loaded baked potato. Calamari was decent, I've had better. Kinda fried too hard or overcooked for you chefs...LoL. The steak was grilled and seasoned well. The salad was a salad. No thrills there....LoL. Apparently the ribeye is popular but it was sold out for the evening. I prefer a good porterhouse but they don't offer it. The pricing was fair. It wasn't that busy because it was 2 hours before closing I guess, not sure. I will return for a seafood offering next time. read more

...Such a cozy place !! They made me a Fantastic Tangueray Gimlet and my Chicken Marsala was spot on... The Hubs ate all on his plate, and we will be back for sure . We met the owner, Michael and his lovely wife as well. We're wishing them Good Fortune read more

New experienced owners. New menu and interior renovation. EXCELLENT food-- all fish is fresh, meat is cut on premises. Chef from Joe Muer's! All desserts made in-house. We had bread pudding with Ray's ice cream. Loved the seafood chowder- tomato based and full of delicious seafood. Amazing lobster roll and fish and chips! Hot homemade crispy bread with yummy homemade butter! This place is a WINNER! Great service and loved talking to new owner, Mike. read more

The food was delicious. The service was great. Good atmosphere. New owner did a fantastic job. We will be back!

Stopped in for dinner in a Sunday. Ambience was comfortable and inviting, very few people there but learned they just began opening on Sundays recently. The food was excellent. I had the filet with mashed potatoes and asparagus, hubs had the fish and chips. I tasted it all because that's what I do, lol. My filet was cooked perfectly and the fish and chips were meaty with just the right amount of tasty breading. Sides were fresh and well seasoned. Kudos to the chef, who knows how to prepare food of all kinds. Our server was professional and attentive. The owner stopped by and chatted with us and made us feel welcome. Everything was great and we look forward to coming back! read more

Best decision you will make is to dine here. Owners are fantastic, as is the food. If you want to watch the lions on Sunday the Sloppy joes and French Dip sandwich are great. Love this place read more

Service and food are great. The new owners make this a personal experience which is fantastic

New favorite place! We have YET to be disappointed by a dish...crab cakes, tenderloin bites, greek-ish salad, Filet, and Ribeye, so far. Service is always spot-on and definitely worth the drive from Novi Can't say enough great things about it! read more

Awesome dinner! So glad we went and checked out with the new owner, Michael. Our server Nick made the whole experience fantastic as well. Will definitely go back. read more

Four of us tried the new menu prepared by the new ownership. The food was very good. The drinks are generous. The waitstaff is friendly. The issues are small, but important if they want to be considered fine dining. Their pricing is no longer neighborhood bar, which is fine, but then everything else must be a step up. Two of us ordered soup....those were served. Two of us ordered salad....not delivered until we asked when entrees were served. BTW, the house salad was awesome. We asked for bread and were told the chef had not decided on the right recipe yet.???? Hello! The chef and the new ownership stopped by, which was nice. The carrot cake dessert is reason alone to dine there. As you can see, my review is mixed. Based on what we paid for our meal, we will give them one more chance to prove to us that they a fine dining restaurant and that they deserve what they charge. read more

Great food and great service! My first time here and I loved it! The food was fresh and delicious. Love the Street Corn! The ambiance was casual, warm and inviting. I'll be back soon! read more

Wow! The new owner is bringing this place back bigger than ever. The food here was phenomenal and the service was great too. I expect they're going to be a huge hit. Don't wait, make sure to get up there as soon as possible, before it gets so busy you can't find a table. This place is off to a rocket ship of a Start. I had the steak and crabcakes and we shared calamari at the table. Everything was cooked to perfection. We also tried a couple of their specialty drinks, love them all, especially the real raspberry. read more

Have eaten at Harbor Steak House 3 times and have enjoyed each time, The food is great..best clam chowder around, great burger, Caesar salad with grilled salmon...all were perfectly prepared. The service was friendly and efficient and the owner, Michael, stopped at the table to see if everything was as promised. A great neighborhood gem. read more
