First. Great Lime Rickey's. Second. Very good onion rings and coleslaw. But- the fried clams are a problem. The breading and flavor are pretty good. Saves us a trip to Essex or Ipswich. But the bellies are way too small (except for one lone fat clam)- almost to the point where I thought they had brought clam strips by mistake. (I don't even get the point of clam strips. No self respecting New Englander would order them.) I'd give 5 stars if all the clams were fat. read more

The meals I have ordered here are hit/miss, and ALL of them are very expensive. My parents enjoy their homestyle meals (meatloaf, pot roast) but at $20 per plate, they set me back $40. Tonight I ordered my folks two pastrami sandwiches- $10 each, no side, and only a skimpy amount of pastrami. A side of sweet potato fries (reasonable amount but not a full take out box)- $10! They also push the desserts- $6-7 for a single slice of pie. In short, I'll splurge on the homestyle meals, occasionally, but it won't be a regular spot for me due to the expense. Too bad, if the costs were more reasonable I'd go more frequently. Buyer beware! read more

Great food great service and ambiance the only downside it cash only but everything else was great. They do have a ATM.

Stopped for lunch. Wife had the Lobster Roll sliders (6oz). I had the Jumbo Lobster Roll (9 Oz) both warmed w/butter and my Daughter got a bowl of Clam Chowder. The Onion rings were great, more than enough between the 3 of us. Just note, that they only take cash. They do have an ATM inside. I definitely recommend! read more

Food 6/10- clam bellies were more like strips. Sent back the crab/lobster bisque due to it being on the gritty side. Baked scallops were fantastic but rest of fried seafood was not worth the $$. Probably will not go back. As far as service... 10/10!! They were great! read more

Sometimes in life, when you have no real expectations a place like Harry's comes along and puts a smile on your face. We are frequent diner and look at ourselves as small restaurant aficionados and Harry meets our expectations for a great place to have a meal . read more

They have the best clams around this area. The onion rings are always cooked to perfection. I would just maybe add a little seasoning or some kind but that is just a nitpick. The buffalo tenders are also really good. The frappes can be hit or miss depending on who makes it, some times the person making it can add too much milk and it gets too milky, I always prefer when they make it thicker. Still a 5/5 with a few minor nitpicks read more

This is our go to diner since moving to Southborough six years ago. Portions are large and food is delicious and fresh.

Great service and atmosphere. The staff are very friendly. You can sit anywhere you like. The food is exquisite. I had a shrimp burger and it was delicious. I also had the lobster bisque. The only thing I honestly didn't like were the onion rings. They had no flavor but other than that everything was excellent. I highly recommend this place read more

Amazing fresh and homemade! Their fruit or the Forest pie was so good, I'd make a trip back just for that! Typical mom & pop diner in a comfortable space. Service was as good as the food! I'll be back for sure! read more

Hubby and I came to this place several months back. Overall, it's not a bad place. The breakfast food we both ordered was pretty good. Service was great. Very attentive and friendly. The only drawback hubby and I both had was the lack of space between the booths and pathways. Very narrow space to walk in and out.Not very wheelchair accessible. The restroom is literally like an outhouse. Need to go back outdoors if you need to go. Narrow space there as well. Again not a bad place but would not go there again. It's too compact,congested and not very accessible. read more

Order seafood platter it was cold and dry on both order my friend got fish and chips , it's was over cooked and dry .trying calling no one answered, not sure what's going on there .never will order fro this place again . read more

We ordered a fried seafood platter and a baked haddock from the kids menu. The fried seafood was unevenly fried and the worst were the whole belly clams. They were really soggy. The scallops and shrimp were cooked slightly better but there was absolutely no seasoning at all! A little salt in the breading might have been helpful. The kids meal haddock was like rubber. Completely over cooked and inedible! Never again. read more

Great food, great portions terrific weight staff. Food is reasonably priced and they have a hamburger special with a Coke from 3 to 530 every day and encourage everybody to check it out. read more

A must try. Simply said. Go for it! Burgers, Seafood. Chicken and ice cream all under one roof. Well behaved dogs welcome. Pup cups available. read more

Haven't eaten here in a long time. Saw the $5 cheeseburger special driving by. Went back that night with my husband. We each ordered a cheeseburger (comes with a drink) & one side of sweet potato fries. All was cooked perfectly & delicious. Fries were crispy not soggy. Total tab $25 including tip. Can't beat it during these times. read more

There's a reason why this place has been around for so long...it's just that good. Initially, I hesitated to give this review five stars because it failed to deliver my first and foremost requirement: accessibility. If you are with someone who uses a wheelchair, there is a step to navigate before you enter the restaurant/diner. The step is somewhat small and would not be a problem for someone in a manual wheelchair, however, in this case, we had a power wheelchair and it was a no-go no matter how we tried (due to the chair weighing over 350 pounds.) A gentleman from the kitchen, along with a patron, noticed that we were having difficulty with access and came out to offer help, however, due to the weight and the fragility of the components in the chair, we were unable to accept their generous offer. In Harry's defense, the historical society or some blah blah blah protects or prevents them from making their location accessible to all patrons. Even a portable ramp kept on the premises would have worked fine, but there was no option for that. Fortunately, we had a manual chair in the van and switched over to that. Normally we would have looked for another place to eat, but the local reputation of this spot buffered our inconvenience. The place is small. The inside felt more like a bus, in terms of space. Nothing fancy. The waitstaff was engaging and loaded with personality. I'm guessing they had been there for years. The overall ambiance felt like the set of that 1970s television show, "Alice." You know the one that coined the expression, "Kiss my grits!" After we settled in our tiny booth, we looked at the menu and it was loaded with comfort foods that all sounded alarmingly delicious. Without going into detail, I'm going to cut to the chase: The lobster roll is second to none that I've ever experienced. I did order the Jumbo Lobster roll, so I'm not sure if that made the difference, but it was beyond the beyond. To the point, if I was going to the chair and had a last meal request, it would be Harry's Lobster Roll. In short, there could be a staircase added to that place and we would crawl up to the top just to experience that again! Everything was delicious! Did I mention, I love Harry's? read more

We like trying new places to eat, especially seafood. We know seafood. However, what we ate tonight wasn't - I mean, very good. For our take-out order we had one fried clam strip roll and one fried scallop roll - they did not come with fries, so we ordered those, too. All for the low, low price of $43. We are very disappointed. There was absolutely no seasoning in their dredge mixture used in frying. Can you say BLAND? Sure, these reviews showcase many more stars than what we give you (it's really 1/2 a star, but Yelp doesn't give us that option). Or the option to select "0". A score of zero would absolutely mean DON'T EVEN BOTHER. Well, that's our conclusion for this restaurant. I's too expensive to eat food that has no taste. If you are in the Northbridge/Linwood area of Massachusetts, try Pirates Cove. Or, there's always George's Surf and Turf in Mendon. North Shore people, Woodman's is our call (always 4-5 stars in our book). Cathy from Shrewsbury read more

Servers, Mary, Dianne and Celeste help to make Harry's a true gem!! We are a travel hockey family from Texas and we brought three other hockey families and our boys to the restaurant today between games. The food was incredible and the serving staff is spectacular! Our table's order included three lobster rolls (two traditional with mayonnaise) and one warm with butter. All of the rolls were delicious and flavorful. I also had a cup of clam chowder and wish I had gotten the bowl because it was so good. It was spot on and exactly the way a New England clam chowder should taste. Mary, Dianne and Celeste are welcoming, kind, and hilarious! I am originally from the East coast and they made me feel like I was back at home. They kept us laughing through our entire meal. Though every booth was filled with customers, they have a special way of making each feel as if they are the only customer in the restaurant because of how engaging and caring they were with each table. All of the food came out timely and hot, exactly the way our table hoped it would. We would definitely eat here again! read more

I can't understand the hype for this restaurant. I had a lobster roll that was mediocre. Dry. Tasteless. Hidden under mountains of soggy onion rings and fries. The waitstaff, while cheerful and attentive, was clearly overwhelmed and further hampered by an archaic, manual check system. This is a local favorite but satisfy your fried seafood fix in Ipswich! read more

The place is small but the food and drinks are good I have not been back but I will be

Can't say enough about this place, fantastic diner food! the service is always friendly and attentive, and the ambiance is classic drive in diner, love the signs on the walls. They also serve alcohol there as well and if you want a plate of whole belly clams at 9am they have you covered lol also best coffee is middlesex county read more

Happened to be visiting the area going down RT. 9 and Harry's could our eye. Tried it the next day for brunch. Breakfast was very good! Clam roll was excellent! Served Wormtown Brewery So Hoppy on draft! Clams were fried just right with a simple breading. Nice friendly diner! It's their 75th anniversary this year and we wish them many more. Came back for dinner two days later for fisherman's platter! Awesome! My husband had liver and onions which he just loved (to each his own!). read more

Fried Clams were whole belly clams. This is great, however I found them a bit pricey. Serving size was okay, but for the money, I wasn't impressed read more

Great selection of everything on the menu! Staff is the best!! The chicken fingers are great!

Was in Westborough last week and decided to pick up some takeout from Harry's on my way home. I ordered 2 cheeseburgers with fries and a baked haddock and scallop dinner and got fries and coleslaw for sides with it . I was told the burgers were delicious but I had the haddock and scallops which were really good but was expecting a bigger piece of fish and a few more scallops, the order came to $69 and change which I had no problem with i know food has gone up and seafood is expensive but the portion of fish and scallops was tiny and I'm guessing the burgers were $15 a piece (probably there were no prices on the website menu )so what I got for my meal was roughly $39 and for what I got was high way robbery. I have been going to Harry's for years and have always been pretty happy with there food and service but I just feel I got the short end of the stick this time read more

Always is busy and that is excellent friendly staff , seafood great enjoy and parking too

I walked in to this movie set but it is the real deal restaurant and I knew it was time to get some bellies ...... Denise welcomes me and explained all the COVID stuff and made me feel like I have eaten here all my life. I settled on the combo bay scallops and fried clams and onion rings. The grease was so light I tasted the food !! The bellies were just right and I am so glad I found this amazing cool place. I could have eaten outside but the AC felt great and my booth for me perfect read more

Food was great and service was quick and friendly. Looking forward to going back and trying more items from the menu.

Used to love this place, now it is a 50/50 shot on if you even get the food the way it was ordered. 3rd time in a row entire order was wrong and this last time- due to allergies I can not even eat the food and have no way to get reimbursement as they aren't even answering the phone. Stay away. read more

Dinner for 4, 3 had fish and chips which looked fantastic. I had the open faced Ruben.. not so good. I'd give it a 1 for presentation, just a piece of rye bread with a tiny amount of meat and toppings. Doesn't even come with a pickle:-( Not even a lunch size serving for me and my friends were all full with leftovers! read more

I hadn't been back to Harry's since I left Westboro in 1971. It was such a great nostalgia trip for me. I just wish I hadn't waited so long. Harry's has a very extensive menu, which makes ordering, at least for me, difficult. I opted for meatloaf, and my son-in-law got the turkey club. Both meals were excellent, decent in size, and priced right. I'm not a seafood lover, but if I was I would have gotten the lobster roll. Harry's is better than the hamburger joint I remember it as a kid. Check out Harry's Restaurant, it's the best! read more

This popular small town restaurant is located in Worcester Massachusetts. A handful of parking and popular to the natives. They have a large menu with a little bit of everything, so almost everyone and anyone can find something to consume.The only immediate downside is that they only accept cash, but of course they have an atm inside. This joint gives off pure diner vibes, a place to go for comfort food. I tried their lobster roll and it was great! So much meat packed into a roll, it's the first time the meat overpowered the bread itself, but of course I did not mind. The more meat the better! It does come with a large portion of fries and onion rings. The fries were good but the onions were a little underwhelming. I actually like bland food sometimes, but for me, the onion rings had absolutely nothing, not even salt. The clam chowder was a little sour as well. Other than that, I wouldn't mind coming back again and possibly trying something new or coming back for another roll. read more

I was in the area tonight and decided to stop in for an early dinner. It appeared to be pretty busy with almost every seat full and customers waiting for to go orders. The two waitresses on staff were very kind and attentive. I did wait a minute to be seated but I could see that they were working hard and sat me as soon as they had a chance. I ordered the French onion soup and shrimp and scallop pasta. Both were very good and the pasta was huge with a very nice portion of seafood. I always feel a little awkward being a solo diner in an unfamiliar place but these ladies made me feel right at home. read more

This is our first time in Westborough and we wanted to have a good breakfast. After looking around we found Harry's which looks like a little throwback diner from the 60's. It has a very small town cafe feel with good food and decent prices for the quality and portion size. The staff was friendly, in particular our waitress Tricia was very nice and gave us exceptional service. Although it was our first time there, she made us feel like regulars. She made good suggestions from their very extensive menu and served our food quickly and with a smile. We decided on a combination of breakfast and lunch which included clam chowder. That was some of the best chowder i have eaten with lots of clams instead of a couple of clams and lots of potatoes. After our experience I have to question some of the other reviews about the bad service. Yes it is true, they only accept cash but that is the currency of our great country, so i think itd a good thing. We will definitely eat there again when we return to the area. read more

I've been here at around 15-20 times and it never disappoints, one of the best seafood restaurants around this part of Massachusetts. The service is always so amazing and makes me feel as if it is a home cooked meal just for me. The overall vibe and atmosphere the diner creates makes me feel like I'm in the 60's grabbing lunch after school. My family also enjoys Harry's and whenever I need a nice and hearty meal this is my go to read more

While we understand that ordering a big order has many risks especially at a family owned restaurant like harry's our experience with the restaurant was not great at all. The service at the front was spectacular and beyond what we expected, they were very friendly and patient making jokes and being sociable with us. However, after leaving the restaurant, with our large takeout order it all went south. Even though it was takeout, food after less than 10 minutes of travel should not be that quality. The steaks were dry, multiple orders were incorrect and wrong, not matching what was written on the receipts, the onion rings were bland, and the only good thing we could say something about was the crab and lobster bisque and the lobster rolls which tasted fine and had a generous amount of lobster. However, ALL of the other dishes went unenjoyed by many people, with a negative reception of the food taste and quality being shared by everyone. Overall, the only redeeming quality of this restaurant was the service, even cutting slack for the large group order in a family restaurant, we find the food quality a nd straight up wrong and missing food items as unacceptable. read more

Great classic diner w/ hand painted menu posters and outdoor seating and booths. Salad was perfect. Open til 8 PM. Chowder good - lots of clams . Try it ! Servers mature & knowledgeable. read more

I would give the food 5 stars but the service zero stars. RUDEST STAFF EVER! My group had 3 couples and when we asked for separate checks (for each couple, not individual) the server was visibly pissed off. I mean come on, it's three checks. Then when we didn't get the vinegar we asked for for the fish and chips my wife went back inside to get it. No big deal right? Accept the person she asked was rude and very put out they she dare ask for two of the tiny little plastic cups of vinegar (for 6 people!) There are lots of places with good food in the area so none of us will ever be back and of course we will tell many more people about our sub par experience. Honestly how are you in that business if you can't be civil to your customers???? read more

In town for college football from Winter Park, FL. Stopped in for lunch as Harry's was recommended as place where "locals like to eat". Outside and decor nothing special, but service was excellent even with new server. Servers all helped out each other. I've had lobster rolls all over New England, and this was one of the best I've had, and reasonably priced. Had to have a bite of "whole bellies", and they were sweet and light, no taste of grease. Wife had Italian sausage sub with idea of bringing some of it back to room for later. It didn't go as planned, she ate every bite. We have more games scheduled for this season, and Harry's will definitely be on our list of stops. read more
