My daughter worked there and witness dianne pull mold off of pie to serve to elderly guests, so I wouldn't order it. Apparently the kitchen is filthy and she saw roaches EVERYWHERE. Oh! And she's a minor and had her serving in the bar, staying hours past her end time and now she can't cash her checks because there isn't enough money in Jamie's bank account. This place is ridiculous. Pics are blurry because she was trying to snap pics without anyone seeing read more

See all

The good with the bad - the staff was very nice and fast. When walking in there is a bar and some 2nd floor dining down the hall(?) to the right and a what appears to be a cozy dining room off to the left. The decor is better than it used to be but the dining room has an underlying odor of mold which lingers through whatever they used to cover it up. On to the food we both ordered the grilled jumbo shrimp. First the "jumbo" shrimp were medium sized at best and looked anemic on the plate. I got 6 medium shrimp equivalent to about 3 jumbo shrimp. They were delicious there is not enough to fill you up. Charge me more and give me Jumbo! Hubby got a 2 bite mini cup of coleslaw which did not satisfy and we both got fries which were tasty and cooked perfectly. We've been back more than once and the moldy smell seems to be stronger each time we go. read more

Let me just state, from food, to service, everything was absolutely fantastic and accommodating. The workers were very helpful with my finance. She can only do gluten free for health reasons and they had gluten free flour so she could enjoy everything with ease. AND IT WAS GOOD! 10/10 would recommend and will come again next time we come visit Albemarle. read more

The southern charm and friendliest staff of everyone here was so great! Our family enjoyed the farm to table freshness of everything. Do not miss out on the onion rings, the best we ever had. You can't go wrong with any of the delicious food that is on the menu. The owner shared that she sources the produce locally as well as her beers. Definitely will stop in again to this charming restaurant. read more

We stopped by this quaint little spot on New Year's Eve and had a great time! There was a DJ playing music and while everyone enjoyed themselves and danced together on the dance floor! They were cooking only fried food this evening so we had chicken tenders and fries with sweet tea! The Tea was great the food was fresh, hot and very tasty! Evelyn was our server and she took such great care of us and made us feel right at home! read more

They food is terrible and overpriced for the poor quality. The service and cook is very slow. The atmosphere is fine. The problem is all the rest. read more

I mean they are trying. OMB copper on tap. Kids menu. Friendly staff. But the food is just not very good. My steak was tough and under seasoned. Good effort on having more than one type of fry but they were freezer burnt. They just need to bring a chef in that cooks good, fresh food. They have the space, the staff, now they just need the food. read more

Harmancos - a restaurant with a checkered floor - American Near Me - Albemarle, North Carolina

Hermanco is a little out of the way but the food is fabulous !!! It's a very relaxing restaurant and the owner (Jamie) makes sure everything is to your liking. The waitress is attentive and very friendly. We will be going there again ! Thank you Hermanco ! read more

I am so thankful for a place with great gluten free separately fried food!! My favorites are chicken wings, onion rings, fries, Greek salad with gyro meat. Next time I want to try the chicken tenders! read more

I went for breakfast this morning and never got acknowledge or made eye contact. The waitress waited on others but never came to my table. I spoke to her manager and her response was that she was very busy. I told her acknowledgment and letting your customers know you see them goes along way even when your busy. It's a shame people don't want to wait on people bz of the color of skin. read more

Great food and service. Place is clean and staff is friendly. Food was really tasty and large portions. You get your moneys worth here

Don't do it! Don't do it! Don't do it! We sat for over 1 hour and did not receive our food and the restaurant was virtually empty on a Sunday for breakfast. Eggs, pancakes and toast should NEVER take this long. Unless you have 2 plus hours on a Sunday morning for breakfast don't waste your time. From out of town and normally stop at local places but this one is officially off of the list. Good luck Hermanco's. You FAILED us! Update. We never got our food and left after 1 hour. JOKE! Moved down the road to 5 points public house and food on table in 5 minutes. Go there! read more

Harmancos - Sloppy Joe Fries Appetizer - American Near Me - Albemarle, North Carolina

I brought my family of 4 here. There was an awful odor coming from the back rooms. When me and my husband brought it to the manager Jessica's attention she couldn't give an explanation for the origin of the smell. We let that go and just tried to make the best of it. Later when our food arrived cold we asked the waitress to fix it, we overheard her tell the manager and then the manager made it loudly known to everyone that we had a problem with our food and it was obviously a huge inconvenience for her to help the girls and make sure things come out correct. read more

My wife & I went in for lunch, new menu since last visit, BLT sandwich wasn't good, we were told the cook mis-read the order, and would have to start over, our sides were done though, then came the poor small, crushed BLT, not up to the meals we've had in the past there, the prices have increased and the portions have decreased, we'll be eating elsewhere on visits to Albermarle. read more

I just moved to Albemarle area, and finding this place was great. it's always down to earth and friendly people greet me. I've ate dinner as well as lunch at this place and each time has been fulfilling. Bar staff has been communicative and prices are real good with large amounts of food. The karaoke night is a great time, a lot of good people and moves thru the list for singing. Its been great finding a nice close place to wind down after work read more

Stopped in for lunch the other day. When you first walk in the place looks like it needs a good cleaning and make over. The lunch menu is pretty big, which always concerns me when it comes to freshness. No concerns here tho. Lunch portions are huge!!! Hubby had the beef gyro plate and he couldn't finish it all. I had a taco salad.. I must admit it was one of the BEST taco salads I've had since moving here, including those from Mexican restaurants. Waitstaff was attentive to our requests. Our meal arrived quickly, no long wait for those on their lunch hour. They do tend to keep it a little cold inside so if you're like me and get chilled quickly, bring a light sweater. read more

Food was marginal but we did eat after the grill was closed so frozen and fried as our only option. But that wasn't the biggest concern. We were there on a Wednesday night and the "bar" closed at 10pm. 9:40-9:45 the bartender began stacking chairs on the tables and then onto the bar top right beside us. 15 minutes before they closed she was running us off as we munched on chicken wings. So rude - anyone who works in hospitality knows housekeeping should be down after hours. read more

Excellent food and service. Will certainly be back. Chicken Caesar wrap and seasoned fries very good.

We dropped by last night and the first thing my husband noticed how empty the place is and a little dirty. We sat down and it was about 10 minutes before we even got a menu. We ordered and then waited for an HOUR for our food. We think someone had been smoking in the place because it smelled like ashtray. The pasta dish was ok but the whole vibe was super uncomfortable. Hubby and me won't be back. Too bad because its pretty close to our house. And no masks another super weird thing. read more

Okay so Harmancos had a hard time in the past I will admit but under this new management it is the BOMB!! My mom was recently diagnosed as gluten intolerant, big problem in a small town in the south where everything is fried, covered, or smothered if you catch my drift but this place right here? This place has been a absolute lifesaver! Everything except for the seasoned fries and mozzarella sticks can be made gluten free; EVERYTHING! Yes, you will have a longer wait at times because anything gluten free that has to be fried needs to be fried in a separate frier but honestly it's worth the wait. Their gyros are absolutely amazing as well as their burgers and don't get me started on the Mardi Gras chicken! They even have pancakes and waffles that are gluten free for their breakfast menu! They truly don't get the recognition they deserve and I applaud the staff and management for going so far to meet the needs of their customers and making it taste good too. The overall vibe of the place is really nice especially now that they've just remodeled, it looks extravagant compared to before and I will absolutely be back very very soon! I can honestly recommend this place for anyone, gluten free or not, that wants a good time, excellent food, and a great waitstaff. Please check them out, just be ready to face the Friday night crowd on the bar side read more

Don't go to this restaurant. It is not a clean place at all and most of the staff do not wear mask and the owner does not enforce staff to wear mask. Major health risk and makes you wonder what else they aren't doing correctly, like washing hands, wearing gloves and cooking food properly! Death trap so take precautions and stay away!! read more

Stopped going here a long time ago because of food quality/taste and service. Tried it again about a couple years ago and it's my new lunch go to! Great service and food is always fresh and tasty! Kuddos to Jamie for getting the place up to par and providing a great atmosphere! read more

There was A group of 11 that visited harmancos this weekend and the food was delicious! The owner makes the Mac and cheese from scratch, and it was sooo good and cheesy. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, the staff was very friendly and the owners are so down to earth and so kind. I will be going back to try the shrimp fettuccine it looked amazing. I would Definitly recommend harmancoes if you are in the area. read more

slow service and a very BAD odor in the dining room, we asked out server where the smell was coming from, and she said that she did not know, but we was not the only ones to smell it. my husband's ribeye was very salty and the "homemade Mac" tasted like craft macaroni. read more

COVID crock pot. No front of house employees/ kitchen staff were wearing masks in this establishment. Left as soon as I walked in and saw groups of people huddled together. read more

We stopped in for dinner. We ended up leaving. We were given menus with no prices. On anything. The little waitress was nice but went back & forth finding out what they had & the price. After the 3rd trip we tapped out & went to a nearby Mexican restaurant that had menus with prices & great food. Hope they can get it together. read more

In town for business and this place was recommended to us. I have to say, the food and service definitely didn't disappoint. I got the chicken gyro platter and it was very good. Also, the red oak beer is worth having as well. Our waitress was very personable and attentive to us. Overall a very positive experience! read more

Since getting some news coverage back in February, we have been patronizing this place weekly. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Quite often the owners will come around and make conversation as well. The food has always been excellent and the menu is very diverse, offering something for every taste. This is hometown service and cuisine at its best. A lot of the negative reviews here are tribal politics and not reflective of the quality of this establishment, so take them with a grain of salt and come find out for yourself. I bet you will love it. read more

I always enjoy going and eating a family dinner here the food is always great and the girl at the bar has excellent customer service. We always sit on bar side the other side is to dark and outdated but I would highly recommend for a home cooked meal. I love that the new owners feel the same way that my family does about this whole joke that we are living in now our daily life as our new normal!!!! Well I refuse I'm not a sheep I'm a AMERICAN I'm free to live life as I choose!!! When I'm at this establishment it is as it was 2019 no bullsh*it just sit down in nice friendly atmosphere and enjoy my family and my meal we will proudly support this business read more

Finding a place that's both interesting in it's decor, friendly and has good food is something hard to come by in Albemarle, NC. This place seems to do a pretty good job with all that. Having grown up in this town I remember when it was a little bit smaller space and it looks like they have added onto the original building to build out a nice patio and bar area. The bar area actually had a second level also. I tired the caesar salad with grilled chicken and it was actually really good. My girlfriend and mother were with me and they had a BLT and club sandwich, both of which looked really good and they had no complaints. The stafff was very friendly and made sure we were taken care of. read more

My family loves Harmancos we go almost every Friday night....Keep up the great work you have are support!!!!

No masks, enough said! Won't let me just leave that so I will say staff are nice just not looking out for the community. For the size of Stanley County to have 98 deaths from COVID. read more

Always great food and service. Everything on the menu is delicious! We love Harmancos

This is the best food and atmosphere! The baked ziti was to die for and my husband's spaghetti was amazing. Everyone here is awesome and the service was far above expectations! More than worth the drive. read more

This place is located on Main Street just outside of downtown Albemarle. If staying at the HIE, you can sneak down Leonard Ave and find this place on your right. This restaurant/bar is split upon entering, take a left to the smoke-free restaurant side, slide right for the bar area which offers the full restaurant menu. I head into the bar as I feel like catching ESPN. I grab a seat at the bar and get serviced quickly. I ask for a suggestion for my meal and get "everything is really good. I like it all." Great answer :-/ I decide on the Kickin' Pasta with cajun chicken. This comes with a caesar salad and garlic bread. Salad was probably dressed at 4:30 and as put in the fridge for the nightly service. Soggy. The food comes quick and hot when served. There was nothing kickin' about the pasta or chicken. I think the chicken was that precooked stuff you buy in the store next to the lunchables. This dish totally lacked texture and flavor. I tried to doctor it up with hot sauce, salt and pepper but it didn't help. Priced at 14.99, I'm not sure how this place has been in business since 1958 - maybe lack of options brings people in here. I won't have to worry about coming back here again. Passsss... read more

My family makes the drive into Albemarle for the food here. The hostess and wait staff are very friendly and helpful. And the food is delicious! It spans Cajuin to American to Greek. Lots of great choices. read more

I love this place. I've been 3 times since last May (in town for training 2 different times), and everything was awesome. $2.75 Yuenling bottles, friendly and attentive staff, great food, and a full bar. We'll be going back for dinner for the duration of our trip, and bringing along anyone else that will come. read more

Great service today.went there with my entire extended family. Never felt rushed, waitress always kept my glass full.

Holy crap this place sucks. The food and service are horrible. This place has gown downhill quick! !

A great local gathering place to catch-up on news and bull.........Food can be good....hot wings are always great. Service is personable and friendly. read more
