    Bar area
    Donna S.

    Bar area is comfortable and a typical bar vibe. Service was quick. Our waitress never let drinks go empty and was very attentive. The Rueben was awesome. Full of corned beef and perfectly grilled. The only downfall was the fact that the sandwich was so full, the bread got a little soggy. It was still very good. The fries were crispy and hot. Overall a very good experience!

    Mediterranean chicken salad
    Bill V.

    The restaurant was very clean and comfortable. The service was good. The food was very good, and the calamari was excellent. My daughter's mediterranean grilled chicken salad had 2 small pieces of chicken in it, but other than that, it was a good experience.

    Harper's is a classic bar/restaurant and Grill. It's a very large restaurant with lots of seating. It is in an area with a lot of shopping so there is ample parking. Overall, the service was OK. It wasn't anything outstanding. Our server forgot a few things and mixed up orders a few times however outside of that, he was very pleasant The food overall was OK, nothing special. It was fine for a post work dinner, but I would not necessarily want to go back.

    Chicken strip kids meal
    Schelena S.

    Ok so the only reason I went with 4 stars is because we went here as a group and wanted items from the bars bite menu and unfortunately you cant do the happy hour bar bites prices if you dont go to the actual bar and with a group as large as ours we could only split the bills by 4 separate checks which is super inconvenient if you have a lot of seniors who dont use cash app or zelle or that type of technology. Now as far as the service, the staff was great and I ordered a kids chicken strip meal and an old fashion that was like a banana chocolate flavored one....it was weird but I drank it because im not wasting it lol but the chicken strips OMG I've eaten a gazillion chicken strips in my life and these were phenomenal. The batter was light and reminded me of tempura and the seasoning was so on point I would totally go back just to order this

    House salad with blue cheese dressing
    Deana H.

    I totally forgot to take pictures, but I had the Tuscan ribeye with pesto sauce and grilled asparagus. Also ordered a house salad with blue cheese dressing. My husband had the same and I'm gonna have to tell you. This was one of the best meals I've eaten in a long time out, the steak was delicious that pesto sauce they have on there is so good. The service was amazing as always in the ambience was nice. It's a nice place to go. this was our Valentine's Day dinner and it was delicious and I really enjoyed it and I hate I forgot to take the pictures but we were enjoying going out. I did get a shot of the salad before I devoured it.

    Harper's at Friendly Center in Greensboro is one of our go to's.. We usually eat in the bar area. The food is always good and the establishment has a "nice restaurant" vibe. Today I got the Salmon wrap and pasta salad. My wife got Chicken noodle soup and the Wedge salad. Not an elite food experience, but reliable upper scale chain in my opinion..

    Parmesan Crusted Trout & mango mojito

    My youngest son took me out for dinner this evening, and he made reservations to this restaurant. We ordered calamari as our appetizer, and it was delicious. He ordered the ribeye w steak fries and a coke. He wanted his steak cooked medium rare, and thought steak was slightly over cooked to his desired texture. I had the trout w garlic mashed potatoes, and a glass of Chardonnay to pair my meal w. Zack/ server was very cordial and attentive, which made our experience even better. We were both stuffed but couldn't resist to have dessert. Overall, I think Harper never disappoints again the service made a great impact to having a phenomenal dinner with my family. The restaurant is always clean. There's also a bar section that I may give it a shot one of these days.

    Salmon and Asparagus
    Iris R.

    I visited Harper's as part of a holiday luncheon with my colleagues. We were seated in a designated section of the restaurant and assured by multiple employees. The service was great. Everyone was friendly and helpful when answering any questions that we had. Due to this being a booked luncheon, we were given preselected menu items to choose from. I ordered the salmon with asparagus. I'm not a fan of asparagus, so I ordered a side of the mashed potatoes, which were so good. The salmon was lacking seasoning, in my opinion. While waiting for our lunch, a few of us walked over to the bar to order a drink. I ordered a Strawberry Lemon Drop. The bartender did her thing when making my drink. I wish that I remembered her name because she deserves all of the credit. I'd go back to Harper's just because of her bartending skills. The food was lacking for me. Perhaps I would've enjoyed it more if I was able to pick from other menu options.

    Wings & kid's grilled chicken
    Brandy B.

    We stopped in recently for dinner and we were not disappointed! I ordered the trout, sweet potato fries, and a side of seasonal veggies - all delicious. HIGHLY recommend the sweet potato fries with their honey mustard - it's basically drinkable. Hubby loved his wings and our toddler had zero complaints!

    Salmon Wrap with a side of pesto pasta salad
    Melody B.

    This place is GOOD and I'm mad that it took me so long to discover it! I went with coworkers on a weekday during lunchtime and it wasn't too busy. We were seated immediately. I ordered the salmon wrap. The wrap comes with your choice of side from three options (fries, sweet potato fries, or pesto pasta salad). I chose the pesto pasta salad. The whole meal was delicious! Service was quick and friendly. There were many other things I wanted from the menu, so I'll need to go again. Parking is plentiful since this is located in the Friendly Center.

    Steak with fries
    Catherine C.

    We went for a Sunday lunch with our baby around 2pm and there was at least 5 table waiting in the line. We waited for around 25 minutes and they called us to show our table. I look around and they were at least 5 tables empty around us. What it looked like a full restaurant actually it was a disorganized staff that did not work properly to receive their customers. After that we stay for more 20 minutes to the waitress ask us about drinks and more 15 minutes to return to order the food. When the food came we were so hungry and tired of waiting, but I thought the waiting would worth it. Unfortunately, it doesn't. My steak was ok, the size was less than I expected, my husband order the tuna that at least was more tasty than mine. Probably won't came back for the long waiting but it sad to see such a nice, well located and beautiful restaurant with some disorganized service.

    Salmon wrap...it was just ok.
    Tyrone T.

    I've been to this spot several times and each time is a different experience. I've had great food and also some not so great food. This visit falls somewhere in the middle. I ordered a salmon wrap and was a little disappointed. Overall the wrap was decent but it lacked a lot of flavor that it should have. No seasoning at all. Seems like they just assemble the wrap and didn't think about salt and pepper. They are not off my list just yet, I would go back and try it again if I get a chance.

    Tasted burnt, overcooked and dry
    Katrinia B.

    I've eaten here on many occasions. Food is normally good for the price. Sunday's dinner was an exception! The lemon herb chicken had neither of the flavors! The flavor was burnt! I couldn't taste anything but burnt! It was slightly overcooked and dry. The garlic mashed potatoes had no garlic flavor! The vegetables were the best thing on the plate and I'm not a huge fan of onions and peppers. Ordered a side of greens and they were pretty decent.The calamari was seasoned well but oily. Our server was very nice. It was a bit busy but she kept a check on us.

We then watched another party who came in after us get seated in better booths and served right away. We were placed in the worst seats right by the check-in area, while those tables were greeted, given menus, and served immediately. We hadn't even been acknowledged properly. The difference in how guests were handled was obvious and hard to ignore. Whether it was poor management or something else, it didn't feel right. We chose to leave and went to The Cheesecake Factory nearby, where the service was respectful and consistent from the start. This needs to be addressed. No one should be treated differently walking into a restaurant.

On a Saturday afternoon, I was in Greensboro and in the mood for some good pretzels and a draft beer, and this hit the spot. Old Town Draught House has a very old bar ambience, without feeling worn out and dated. I love the old dark wood throughout the building. They have a pretty broad draft beer menu, along with normal bar offerings. I was happy to see multiple sour beers on the list, because that's exactly what I was in the mood for. There's no table service, and it is seat yourself, but the bartenders were very attentive, and it was never difficult to place an order at the bar. We ordered a few beers and decided to get deviled eggs and the pretzels as appetizers to share. Food came out very quickly. The pretzels were pretty good, but I've had better elsewhere. Rather than being crispy, they were soft and a bit soggy, but the flavor was great. The beer cheese was on point, although I would've preferred a spicy brown mustard over yellow mustard. The deviled eggs were a bit of a letdown, because it was just a hard-boiled egg cut in half with a little bit of sweet chili peppers and dressing that tasted like 1000 Island on top. When I think of deviled eggs, I anticipate the egg yolks being removed, mixed with a few ingredients, and piped back in. For what was basically two eggs cut in half, the six-dollar price tag was steep. Overall, we had a great experience, although I would likely choose different food options next time. The bar staff were great, the beer offerings nice, and the ambience was a good vibe.

The wings are easily the star of the show: perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. Whether you like them classic or with a little extra kick, they definitely don't disappoint. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the customer service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out just right. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers, which makes a huge difference. I'm very grateful that they were very considerate when I drove over for over an hour and found out they were turning customers away due to a leak problem in the kitchen. They did accommodate our request to get our order and have it to go! The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a great spot to hang out with friends, catch a game, or just enjoy some seriously good food. If you're in Greensboro and craving wings, Bites & Pints should be at the top of your list. I'll definitely be back!

Started with the appetizer special which was a sampler of apps, and our server was nice enough to sub in some pretzel bites for us.

For the main dish I got the spicy smash burger and added bacon. The burger was pretty tasty, both patties were juicy and overall it was the perfect spice. I will say, the burger patties themselves didn't really seem like smash style patties, they were fairly thicker and seemed to be normal grilled patties. Having two was almost too much burger to bun/topping ratio in my opinion. Fries could have been a little more seasoned and crispy as well, but that's more of a personal preference.
