Service was good/great. Beer menu is good, and the waitress gave a good recommendation. Fish & Chips - wrong fries, fish was good and so was slaw and tartar sauce. Burger was good, but the fries again aren't all that good. read more

Been both a fan and a critic of Harry's since they opened. I've maneuvered my way around their challenges with different types of fries, and various versions of Fish and Chips. I have to tell you now you've nailed the fish. Perfectly breaded and fried, with a portion that could feed 2. I applaud you now Harry's, though shoe string fries are not ideal on a Fish and Chips platter, the coleslaw is good and fish is wonderful. So, who needs fries?!?! read more

Added ourselves to the wait list before driving out. 30 minute drive. Arrived, only to be told that no, we weren't on the wait list. Presented the confirmation, only to be told that it must be for Harry's Downtown, despite it clearly showing Harry's Fredericksburg. The food is usually great, but this is the second time we've attempted to use the waitlist system. First time worked as expected. It's going to be a long time before we try again. read more

I've been to Harry's a couple times and it did not disappoint! Great food and beer selection. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Open style restaurant separate from Bar but feels inclusive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was efficient and accurate. Give it a try if you find yourself West of Salem Church road. read more

We visited on a Wednesday evening and were able to walk right in and be seated. The place is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking out front. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately I forgot a phone charger so I was not able to take pictures to attach to this review but we loved the theme of the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]All of the walls were covered in photos of customer's dogs, so cute![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the pork tostadas as an appetizer, which were really good! The fish and chips were also good, with a great flavor to the breading. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The kids were given some bendy straw building toy which kept them occupied the night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waiter was friendly and the food came out quick. Great place that we hope to visit again soon. read more

Always delicious! Always friendly! [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the dogs are a bonus.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So many beers to choose from. Always get the wings! Excellent crab dip too ! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The best location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Much better food and service than downtown. Everytime we come leave full and happy. Gluten free options are available and well listed. Staff is always welcoming and friendly. One of the main restaurants in our out to eat rotations. read more

Excellent beer selection, but I was the only one tonight willing to try. I like a stout and it was delightful. Everyone enjoyed their meal, compliments all around the table. I had the shrimp tacos and was very pleased. They were very flavorful and just the right amount of heat. For me, a four score means I would definitely be ok with coming here again. read more

Harry's Alehouse - Whiskey West Fred Burger - Gastropubs Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

We've been coming here frequently over the past year but have noticed a marked decline in quality and consistency of the food. Even the wait staff jokes about it. The bar is always fun to sit at because the bar tenders are great, but we've grown tired of the lack of quality control in the kitchen. Eggs - you never know what you'll get. Fries - sometimes they're good, other times inedible. Potato chips - appreciate the lack of salt but mine had raw spots probably from clumping together. Smash burger - no cheese. Etc. read more

My hub and I were very pleased with our Burger of The Week - BLT Remix and Southwestern Chicken Salad. Very flavorful and quick service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice neighborhood bar and grill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will go again! read more

Harry's in West Fred is very unassuming as it's located in a strip mall in between a random dentist and a great clips location. I was super hesitant when we rolled up and saw the establishment hours printed in comic sans on the front window - to me, that's never a good sign. I hope you're a dog lover, because once you step in here, the walls are decorated by the cutest pictures of dogs on so many walls, even in the booths. I thought this was a really cute touch and made up for the comic sans. I wasn't sure what to expect as I just moved to Virginia and this area is full of chain restaurants, but it was a cool vibe with neat lighting. It was relatively busy in the dining area, but the bar was POPPING! Our waiter was attentive and super personable and made dining a breeze. The appetizer list was full of goodies and we got the chili nachos. These were actually great as the chili had a perfect flavor to it. I wish there were more chips, but that's always the problem with a nacho appetizer. I would absolutely order this again. My husband ordered the Savannah Burger and was super happy with it, however I did try the fries and they seemed pretty bland and a little soggy. His burger looked super juicy though and I would be tempted to try a burger in the future and hope the fries come out better. I also wasn't expecting him to get fries since nothing on the menu indicates you would get fries as a side. I got the Korean BBQ wings. As a former Buffalonian, my expectations for wings are quite high, so I feel like I have to break this down into a few bits. First off, I really wish they would note how many wings are included in the entree on the menu. I feel like that's an oversight to understand what you're actually getting. For 14 dollars, you only get 8 wings, which is honestly highway robbery. That being said, the way the wing was fried was perfect. A lot of places don't go enough or end up overfrying. Harry's got this right to a tee. I love that they offered ranch (ew) and the classic blue cheese with their wings. When it came to the sauce, since I got Korean BBQ, I was expecting sweet, savory, tangy, and spicy. Something I'd expect getting a meat from a KBBQ spot. Instead, it just tasted like a watered down gochujang sauce that was hot. There wasn't really enough flavors blended to make this hit the spot if you wanted the taste of KBBQ. That being said, I would absolutely try other flavors of wings from them. Even being tossed in the sauce, they had a good bite and were fried to perfection, which will always let a good sauce shine. I will definitely be back to try out something else on the menu! read more

Great lowkey atmosphere! The drinks were perfect and there were so many options. This would be a great date night or a calming pregame before you go out. I'd highly recommend this place! Food was delicious as well! But the drinks were excellent! read more

The food was fried fish and French fries. It tasted good and I gave the waiter a $20 tip in cash. When I got home I had projectile diarrhea, the rest of the night I sat by the toilet. Going to the toilet 5 times and counting. I am not sure if there is anything could improve? read more

Waitress was great, burger was great, the salisbury steak was average. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is cute[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

They have great food especially their burgers. Every time I go - order something different. My favorite are the Ruben egg rolls . You won't be disappointed read more

Amazing! They run a burger special weekly.. thick, juicy and will not let you down! I ordered onion ring and they were thick! We have back several times! They cook to order :) read more

Well, not the best start, a minor wait to be acknowledged by our waiter. We are here on a Sunday, July 2, an hour from closing. Harry's is actually closing tomorrow for remodeling. I hope I'll be willing to comeback to see the remodel after today. I was concerned since our waiter was only in two times a week and couldn't answer questions on the burger of the week. Butttt, my Bacon Me Happy burger was the bomb!! Cooked to my order!! The burger of the week, Too Gouda to be True...Solid. Don't fire the cook! The fries were well cooked as well. Crispy a Looking forward to the remodel!! read more

Great experience, good service and they treated my family very nice, thank you for that ! Great food and kind personel.

Harry's Alehouse is a must go to. I've been here a few times and have never been disappointed with the food. When you first walk in you see pictures of dogs everywhere and feel like a local. The atmosphere is casual and inviting. The food has been great every time I've been here. I ordered their Sweet Vidalia Onion Rings to start with and they were the best onion rings I've ever had. They are made to order and so light and crispy. For my entree I ordered the Louisiana Pasta. It was delicious and flavorful. Their food doesn't make you feel like a stuffed pig rolling out of the restaurant despite being filling. Their service is always great. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff who actually try most things on the menu themselves. The staff always have great things to say about Harry's food. I would definitely recommend Harry's Alehouse if you want delicious food and great service! You might have a bit of a wait sometimes due to them being so popular but the food is always worth the wait. read more

Great food and quick service. I love the crab dip and there is a good variety of options.

Popped in for lunch while visiting friends in the area, glad we did. Covid19 protocols were in effect & being acted on, masks & distancing which was cool. Everything looked & felt clean. Friendly waitress who ensured our dining experience was a good one. On to the food, we did a couple appetizers which were good (Nachos & Pickles). None left so that is always a good sign. Everything was brought out delicious & as ordered. Everyone was happy with thier selections & none left to take home. I particularly loved my Burger as it was like a Double Double Delux which made my day. It fulfilled a craving here that I thought could not be satisfied. Will always stop in when in Fredericksburg area !!! read more

First of, Happy Mother's day to every body !! Whatever gender you are, if you are a mother figure, or someone's mother!! I salute you!! Second!, we celebrated mother's day in this busy busy burger place. Everybody has been talking about burgers lately - it got me the cravings. We came at 11. It just opened, and boy oh boy, people were hungry!. Foodies rule?, we order 2 things and then we share. For the price that it has , it was worth every damn penny. The burgers we ordered were the whiskey burger, and the 52 burger of the week, which is the chicken fried steak burger. Both was really good. The whiskey burger had that smokey, and sweet flavor. The meat was cooked to our liking. It was cooked medium rare. The crispiness of the bacon , and onion rings , gave it that texture that it needs. The chicken fried steak ? Well damn!! It has a breakfast sandwich feel to it. The bread was perfectly toasted , and besides the breading of the beef, the onions also gave it that crunch. There were layers and layers of flavors. Textures and flavors are key! Let's talk about the sides. We had the fries, and the onion rings. We did a "double dip". Try it! We did a dip in ketchup, and the vinegar. It was smokey sweet delicious. Basically at the end of the meal, we gained the weight, we gained a big smile, and we were just content. Yay! read more

The burgers at Harry's Ale House are very flavorful and the restaurant has a fun atmosphere with great service.

Harry's is great overall, normally get my food quick, burgers are good, and they have an awesome selection of alcoholic beverages. For the price the burgers and sandwiches should really come with 2 sides a lot more of one side. Fried pickles are great too, waiters and waitresses are nice, and I love the pictures of dogs all over the restaurant. read more

Nice atmosphere & great service. I highly recommend their Apple Bacon Bleu Cheeseburger! Cooked perfectly medium rare (a good amount of pink and red) with lots of flavor. I'm a sucker for anything with bleu cheese! Our server Nick was great as well. I wasn't a big fan of their Margherita Flatbread, so I would stick to burgers and other things on the menu when I go there again. All and all, a good experience!! Stop by here if you want a some good burgers. read more

This place makes me feel like a regular. The atmosphere is really just that friendly. I've been multiple times and the staff has been very nice and accommodating. The food menu has lots of great choices and the beer list is definitely one to make craft beer enthusiasts (such as myself) blush! When I'm here - I'm usually grabbing a burger and a beer - but can't wait to try the rest of their menu. A great addition to downtown FXBG. read more

So good! Love this place! It has a neighborhood pub kind of feel, with friendly staff. The food was like pub food as well. Delicious, hot and like most tasty pub food you will need napkins for your greasy fingers. They do have some healthy options, but we didn't go to eat healthy. We had a couple drinks (they have a full bar), fried pickles as an appetizer and fish and chips for dinner. It is a little loud between the crowd and juke box music, but we adapted and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. read more

I am OBSESSED with Harry's Alehouse! I go there almost every few weeks and they always have great service and we can laugh and joke around. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very family friendly, they allow dogs and they provide those little wax sticks for kids to play with while you're waiting for the food. Their food is simply amazing. I can't find better words than that. I 100% recommend this restaurant. read more

Consistently great food. The service is good but --be warned --they are understaffed and this it takes a long time to get orders in and even longer to get fed. This is still my #1 recommended restaurant in Spotsylvania, despite slow service. One advice is: DO NOT order drinks or appetizers before you order your meal. Drinks arrive fast... entrées take forever. If you're the type of person who likes to pair a pricey craft beer with your food... order your food first, then wait and order your beer when the server returns. read more

Everything's always great! Food, beer, service. They never miss. Try the Tangerine Wheat beer or the Tostadas. Burger of the week is usually pretty good as well. read more

Ok, so I see all the great reviews. That wasn't our experience. First, I tried to explain a snakebite to the waitress. I didn't call it that, but that's what it was. She interrupted me in the middle and said "the bartender won't do that, I know for sure!". I immediately ordered a coke. Cuz...Im not paying for a drink and tip for someone who either can't listen or can't make a drink. Anyway, my wife ordered a burger well done with nothing but cheese. Her burger arrived medium well (definitely had pink) with everything on it. Fyi: after we told her about the burger, she never again (the whole visit) asked my wife if she needed anything at all. It only got worse... This picture is the second burger which seems like someone tried to catch it on fire before serving it... When we asked for a knife, we were brought a steak knife, as if they knew that no other knife was gonna cut the shoe leather they just served us. By the way, she never asked how this burger was... So... Ours was not a good experience. At all. read more

Harry's Alehouse - A "well done burger" - Gastropubs Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

We arrived on a Saturday in November around one. Not a fancy place by any means, and the floor and bathrooms could have been cleaner. I'm pretty picky about that though. It was fairly busy but there were tables available. We opted to sit in the bar where there were plenty of seats. We did, unfortunately, have to put up with a couple's PDA for 20 minutes until they left. The manager should have squashed that. The bartender, Linda, was awesome. So personable, efficient, and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed chatting with her when she wasn't busy - which wasn't often. We ordered the Charleston chicken sandwich with homemade chips, and the Burger Royale on a salad. The chicken was a huge piece of fried white chicken. It was hard to eat because it was so big but it was very tasty with pickles, bacon and pimiento cheese. The homemade chips were disappointing, tasting like cardboard. The Burger was large and cooked perfectly to medium rare. The salad was fresh and crisp I only wish there was a little more! We both enjoyed the beers we ordered which were the Green City IPA and Drekker Synaptic IPA. read more
