Harry's continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in downtown St. Augustine. Even on a busy Saturday night, it's worth the wait. We visited with a party of four on a Saturday evening and were quoted about an hour. Honestly, we didn't mind at all. We spent the time looking at the bayfront, enjoying the evening, and catching up on life while we waited. Parking, however, is another story. That's downtown St. Augustine these days--not Harry's fault--but be prepared. We ended up paying $25 to park and had about a 10-minute walk to the restaurant. Still worth it. We were seated outside at a spacious round table, which was perfect for conversation. The patio has a cozy garden feel with tiki torches, string lights, and beautiful landscaping. The only downside was that our table was tucked into a back corner where two walls met, so it didn't catch much of the evening breeze and got pretty warm. On the bright side, the tiki torches seemed to keep the bugs away because they weren't an issue at all. Our server, Samantha, was friendly and did a great job despite how busy the restaurant was. Water refills were a little slower than I'd normally like on a hot Florida evening, but with such a full restaurant, it was understandable and certainly wasn't enough to take away from an otherwise great experience. The only significant miss of the night was the live entertainment. We've visited many times when they've had musicians performing, and it's usually one of the things we enjoy most. Tonight's performer was a talented keyboard player, but unfortunately the vocals were consistently off pitch and the lyrics were difficult to understand. Familiar songs weren't recognizable until the chorus. Hopefully it was just an off night because our previous experiences with the live music have all been excellent. Now...the food. We never skip the Fried Green Tomatoes appetizer. Years ago we made a point of ordering fried green tomatoes everywhere we went while visiting Savannah, Georgia, and Harry's is still my favorite. The coating is perfectly crisp and actually stays attached to the tomato, while the creamy goat cheese and remoulade sauce bring everything together. Two of the slices were noticeably smaller than the others this visit, but we devoured them so quickly I didn't even think to take a picture! I ordered the Shrimp & Grits, and it was outstanding. If you're sensitive to spice like I am, don't let the Cajun flavors scare you away. It has just enough kick to add flavor without overpowering the dish. The creamy grits topped with freshly shaved Parmesan paired perfectly with the rich sauce. Do yourself a favor and ask for bread--you'll want every last drop of that sauce. My husband ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna, which has become his favorite thing on the menu. He orders it almost every time we visit, and it never disappoints. The other two in our party ordered one of the chicken pasta dishes and one of the shrimp pasta dishes. Both were flavorful without being spicy, making them great choices for anyone who prefers milder options. To drink, I had the Hurricane ($12.99), which was exactly what I was hoping for--fruity, refreshing, and perfect for a summer evening. My husband ordered a Tall Tito's & Tonic with a twist. He said it was good, but nothing particularly memorable. Harry's continues to be one of those restaurants we come back to year after year because it's consistently good. Between the atmosphere, the food, the location across from the bayfront, and the friendly service, it's easy to see why it's become a downtown St. Augustine favorite. We'll definitely be back. read more

Service was fantastic for being fairly packed midday! Our server made sure waters/drinks were replenished and food came out quick. The shrimp and grits was some of the best I've had in Historic St. Augustine! Not sure if the added sausage is necessary to make it such a memorable dish, but definitely added to the flavor. Great vibe inside! read more

Fun atmosphere in a premier location on the riverfront in the historical district of St. Augustine. We walked in without reservations around 5:30 pm and were able to get outdoor seating in the courtyard. By 6 pm, it was packed and a long line of customers waiting for tables. From the New Orleans inspired menu, I ordered a bowl of Gumbo to share as an appetizer and andouille crusted grouper as the main entree. My husband ordered the French Market pasta. All had great flavors and the portion were huge. During dinner there was live entertainment which was nice. The courtyard was pleasant. We finished 2 hours later and the line to get in was even longer. Overall, a must go when visiting St. Augustine. read more

I so immensely enjoyed the food, service and ambiance of Harry's that I came here not once, but twice for dinner while on vacation in St. Augustine! Expect a wait. That is a given for either lunch or dinner, unless you come on the earlier side. The first time, we waited 30 minutes and the second time about 20. For food we tried Harry's Gumbo, Crawfish and Shrimp Etouffe, Shrimp and Scallops Orleans, and Crabcakes. The portions are large, and some of the entrees on the heavy side, but absolutely delicious. For dessert we ordered, Key Lime Pie and Banana Creme Brûlée. The desserts did not live up to the rest of the meal, but still capped off the evening nicely. The first time we were sat downstairs and our service was fantastic. Our waiter was personable, knowledgable and effortlessly managing several tables at once. The second time we were seated upstairs and waited on by the bartender, this scenario was not as great, but the food still was. read more

I rarely give restaurants a five star review but Harry's Seafood Bar & Grill deserves every bit of it. We were in town visiting friends who live locally and they brought us here and put a lot of thought into it. I got the crab cakes dinner and I got one side with it. I chose the red beans and rice. Both the entree and the side were delicious. My friends got Jambalaya, grit cake, Fat tire, boudin balls and red fish. Everyone loved their food and our waitress Kayla was amazing. She was so much fun and right on top of everything. read more

Yum! After a couple of days near Orlando and having too much fast food and pizza (because of my kids) I was really looking forward to some good seafood. This place did not disappoint! We started with the crab cake appetizer which was fantastic. I ordered the crab dusted redfish royale which was delicious! I love the smashed potatoes and corn maque choux. Unfortunately I was stuffed from the crab cake appetizer and the side salad I ordered so I couldn't eat too much. My husband had the andouille crusted grouper which he said was fantastic. My son ordered the southern fried chicken tenders which he said were just ok since they were kind of soft and not very crispy. We sat in the alley/patio area and the seating and ambiance was absolutely beautiful. Service was excellent as well. I'd definitely recommend this place! read more

I took a day trip with some friends to St. Augustine and we discovered this incredible seafood restaurant. Harry's Seafood Bar & Grille is a cozy rustic and modern venue. You know it's good when there's a long wait. It's a cute two story building with an outdoor seating area. Since it was a little chilly out, they had lamp heaters available and even live entertainment. The particular singer that day was phenomenal with her unique raspy indie tone. We had a 20 minute wait for our table which happened to be outdoors, so we bought drinks at the bar. The Bloody Mary and Sangria were both better than expected. The downstairs bar was a little tiny for the amount of patrons, but cozy. There's also a bar upstairs. When we finally got seated, we were pleased to have an awesome server. He was attentive, helpful, and had a good sense of humor with our silly group. The staff in general were friendly. I can honestly say that everything we ordered was good. For appetizers we chose Fried Green Tomatoes, Cheese Dip, Fish Strips and Seafood Dip. Dinner included Seared Tuna, Seafood Pasta, Crab Cakes, and a Redfish special. Everything was well seasoned, savory, and rather sizable portions. The only downside is that there may be a wait for the restrooms since this is definitely a high traffic restaurant! There's plenty of pay parking lots. read more

Taste: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Every time I'm in St. Augustine, someone tells me to go to Harry's Seafood Bar, and honestly, they're right! The food is consistently delicious, it really lives up to the hype. Definitely a must-visit if you're in St. Augustine, especially if you're in the mood for flavorful, New Orleans-style seafood dishes. The outdoor setup is a big part of what makes it so enjoyable. It's a really comfortable and well-done space with a great atmosphere, laid-back and yet still lively. They've got heaters going when it's chilly and umbrellas for when the sun gets a little intense, so it's a solid spot no matter the weather. On our most recent visit, our server Jesse was super helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly. He checked in at the right times, had great recommendations, and really added to the overall experience. All around, it's one of those places that's easy to recommend. Great food, great vibe, and solid service, definitely worth checking out. read more

My family and I came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. It was a little hot outside, so we sat indoors in one of the dining rooms. I had the blackened fish tacos with a side of collard greens. The tacos were filled with fresh pico de gallo and lettuce, and the greens were salty and a little spicy. All of us really enjoyed our food! Our waitress was great and checked in on us a few times during our meal. I would definitely recommend this spot! read more

Imagine if The Cheesecake Factory was a New Orleans seafood restaurant. The portions here are massive! This was our choice for our family dinner for our beach trip to Saint Augustine. We lucked out and found street parking. On a weekend night, wait was about 30 minutes. The bar served a delicious mule while we waited. We ended up sitting outside and really enjoyed the (not too loud) live music underneath the string lights. It made for quite the comforting ambience. Our server Gabby was fantastic! She was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. She made great recommendations and definitely made the experience for us. Prices were so affordable! I don't know anywhere else you can get two lobster tails for $37.99 with a side! TWO! Majority of entrees were $20-$30 with plenty of under $20 options as well. We received complimentary bread with butter prior to the meal and the in-house butter was DELICIOUS. I believe it was onion butter or something and we definitely inhaled it. For starters, I loved the calamari and the Louisiana fondeaux. The blue crab claws were just ok. The horseradish mayonnaise definitely made it more appetizing. For entree, I opted for the crab crusted redfish royale. This thing was a monster. The crab cake smashed on top was absolutely delicious and best part of my meal. Everything else was just too much cream and felt overpowering and heavy. Fish was lost in it all. My husband's shrimps and scallops orleans was much better balanced dish. My brother really enjoyed his shrimp scampi and my mom enjoyed her ribeye. The lobster tails were massive and delicious. Everyone loved the NOLA rice. At the end, we got the fried Oreos (Oreo beignets) which made everyone loosen their waistbands. We all left feeling way too full with plenty of leftovers for the next day. Definitely a win for our seafood loving family! read more

Amazing restaurant. Beautiful inside and out, large patio outside for when weather is nice. Live music of the weekends, I think. Our server was excellent, very attentive and efficient. The bread is delicious, soft, and the garlic butter ... yum... spreads so nicely. I started with a Blackberry Bramble which was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this beverage. I had shrimp and grits as it was a chilly day. It was as perfect as any can be. The grits were smooth and creamy, shrimp lightly seasoned and served in a Cajun gravy. My husband had the fried shrimp and said it was excellent. He doesn't eat cole slaw, so I had his and it was so good, fresh sweet, and delightfully crunchy. Will definitely visit this restaurant again!! read more

We love sitting outside on the patio at this bustling restaurant. We had a drink while waiting to be seated. Service is friendly but a bit slow. We ordered the Fish Tacos (blackened), which were very good and also tried the Shrimp & Crawfish Pot Pie. The fish tacos had a nice crunch. The pot pie is extremely rich so be prepared if you're not ready for a heavy entree. Both entrées came with sides so we ordered the collard greens which were delicious, and rice and beans which also were good, but needed a little kick of hot sauce read more

Wow! Food tastes just like you're sitting in the New Orleans French Quarter. I'm not sure I had joy like this at a restaurant in a really long time. The fried crab claws were 100000% one of the best things I've eaten. I wish I could have taken a gallon home. The fried green tomatoes were also spectacular and I like all the accompaniments that came on it. All of our entrees were delicious. We had the pasta, fish sandwich, and fish tacos. The best treat was the friend Oreo beignets were the final closing act. We sat outside on the patio and it was really nice and the trees kept us from sitting directly in the sun. 10/10 recommend read more

Harry's is a staple for my boyfriend for when we go to St. Augustine. And there's a reason for it! They have wonderful food and are conveniently located in the walking area of downtown st Augustine. Service has been a little hit or miss depending on when we've come but it's not been horrible. If you've come for dinner be prepared to wait. Anytime we've stopped in after 5 it's always been about an hour wait and there's very limited seating space to wait. However, while you're waiting they do have a server who will take drink orders and bring them out to you. We love that service as it's very convenient. This is an old home or business that's been converted on each floor to have its own kitchen. We've dined on the first and second floor, and so far I prefer the first floor dining space as it was just a little less crowded. The food can be spicy so be wary of what you're ordering! The mashed potatoes have a kick to them that's not advertised. The pasta has a kick on the aftertaste. I'm not able to handle really spicy foods and unfortunately for me most of the menu is off limits. However my boyfriend finds the spice a lot more tolerable and loves the salmon dish. Overall, it's a bit of a pricier place to eat but it's a nice treat once in a while. read more

We arrived around 4pm in November, so a busy time since it's during Night of Lights and they don't take reservations. The wait was about 20 minutes; be sure to walk all the way inside to put your name on the list (there was no host outside where guests were waiting). The jambalaya was very good. Everything was seasoned well, and the side of rice and chicken was just okay. Although it was busy, service didn't lack. read more

My fries had the grouper encrusted with something she said was outstanding. She loved the greens, saying they had just the right kick! I had the chicken and grits with broccoli! The seasonings on the broccoli was out of this word! I could love to can that flavor! The chicken was overcooked,however, the sauce on it made up for it! It had just the right amount of heat! LOVED it! We had the ability to sit outside, such a gorgeous Florida day! The trees covering the patio area and the fake owls worth the view! Thank you Jordan for your outstanding service!

A lovely day in St. Augustine. Stopped by this popular restaurant. Greeted by a lovely hostess. A short wait for an outside table. Unfortunately we weren't assigned a waiter but someone finally noticed and our waiter Jeremy was very attentive. Love the atmosphere. You can smell the fresh air of the ocean. The landscape is well maintained and provides a delightful atmosphere. Ordered the arugula mahi mahi. The fish was superb. Very tender and flakey. Well seasoned. The accompanying rice however was flavorful but rather dry. My husband paired his mahi mahi with corn grits which were some of the best grits I'd ever had. I would consider changing the complimentary bread as it just tasted like a bun you would use in a sub sandwich. Overall it was a good experience. read more

My friends and I were in St. Augustine for the Nights of Lights and decided to eat at Harry's since it looked like a popular spot. They don't take reservations, so we went early and were able to get a table right away. It was pretty busy, but service was still fast and friendly. If you want to sit on the patio, though, expect to wait. Since it's known for Cajun/Creole food, our server warned us that some dishes might have a bit of spice. Honestly, I didn't find that to be true at all. Everything we tried tasted pretty bland. We shared the Louisiana Foundeax as an appetizer, and it was fine, but nothing special. I ordered the Bourbon Street salmon, and it was overcooked and lacked flavor. Overall, the food just didn't live up to the hype. With how crowded it was and how many good reviews it has, I was expecting a lot more. I left disappointed and would choose another restaurant the next time I come to St. Augustine. read more

The food was excellent here and I since I was dining alone, I skirted a 45 min wait to be seated for a nice meal at their bar. I tried their seafood dip (excellent) and also a salad with seared Ahi.

It started out good. The she crab soup and crab cake app had us thinking we made a good choice. One person has an allergy to a particular preservative used in frozen shrimp so that was expressed to our waitress. The meal he chose said "fresh shrimp" so he asked her if the shrimp was frozen and she said honestly she'd avoid it because she didn't want to chance him having an allergic reaction. We appreciated her honesty and so he ordered his food without it. He did take a spoon of soup though and I guess the crab meat had the preservative because his lip started tingling and swelling. Thankfully he only tried it and ate no more. The entrees came out and the shrimp scampi was pretty gross. Literally swimming in a bed of oil and the shrimp were so gross. Like the kind you get frozen from a cheap supermarket and still had the shell pieces on some. My husband said his twin lobster tails were overcooked. The weird thing too was to refill my husband's soda the waitress brought out a drippy styrofoam cup and dumped it into his glass and then left him with the almost empty cup. The place was really overpriced at over $4 for a cup of soda and tea and overcooked not fresh high quality seafood. I can't understand why this place is rated so highly. read more

Good Louisiana creole spot in historic St. Augustine. I read the reviews and wanted to check the place out. There are a few options for dining to include outside. I sat at the bar for dinner, I had a very busy bartender who made great drinks but I was never sure if she actually heard my request. Food was good, the gumbo was not a very dark but tasty and the ribeye was also good. Good portions, you won't leave hungry. It's worth a visit. Enjoy!!!! read more

Having been a frequent guest at the Lakeland location for years, I finally had the chance to visit the St. Augustine spot--and I'm happy to report it maintains the high standards I've come to expect. The atmosphere perfectly captures that historic, coastal charm, making it a great backdrop for a solid meal. The Appetizer: We kicked things off with the Louisiana Fonduex. If you haven't tried this yet, it's a must-order. It was rich, savory, and exactly the kind of "so good you want to lick the bowl" starter that sets the tone for the rest of the afternoon. The Main Course: For my entrée, I opted for the Andouille-Crusted Grouper. The crust provided a perfect smoky kick and a satisfying crunch that complemented the fresh, flaky fish beautifully. But the real "hidden gem" on the plate? The Sweet Corn Grits. They were creamy, slightly sweet bit also spicy making it the ultimate comfort food pairing for the spicy andouille. The Verdict: Whether you're a local or just passing through the Old City, this place delivers. The consistency between locations is impressive, and the flavors are bold and authentic. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

Harry's Seafood, Bar & Grille is an absolute must-visit in St. Augustine! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere transports you straight to New Orleans. It's vibrant, lively, and full of charm while still feeling relaxed. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The shrimp and grits were packed with flavor, the gumbo was rich and comforting, and the fried green tomatoes were perfectly crispy with a delicious twist. But the true star of the meal was the Seafood Fondue. If you're only ordering one appetizer, make it this one. It was creamy, rich, loaded with seafood, and so good we were talking about it long after we left. To top it all off, the staff was incredibly sweet, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Great service, amazing food, and a fun atmosphere make this a place we'll absolutely return to every time we're in St. Augustine. read more

Food tasted great, ambiance was a plus (outside) but the long waiting period to get our food was a bit too much. I understand that they were very busy, but hard to manage with hungry kids.

went with my sister and mom on vacation, and we really enjoyed our meal! my mom had a fish special, i had the andouille crusted grouper, and my sister had a bowl of gumbo with collards. everyone enjoyed our food (my sister's review is below). the fish was very well seasoned and the mashed potatoes served with it were a little sweet in a way that complimented the saltiness of the fish well. the boudin ball appetizer was delicious, and while i don't typically enjoy aiolis, the chipotle aioli they were served with was delicious. the desserts were both delicious, and our server was fantastic! (i believe his name was Tony). the food came out at a reasonable time and the restaurant was nicely decorated. the outdoor seating looked better than the indoor, but it was raining off and on so we opted for indoor. the beverages were also delicious! overall wonderful experience. my sister's review: The collard greens were very good. They had more of a spicy and savory flavor than a sweet flavor, overall very enjoyable. The gumbo was a good choice for something lighter for dinner. Although it was light, there was still a sufficient amount of meat and flavor in the gumbo to be filling. The meal was excellent! read more

"Fish tacos, history, and a balcony view worth every calorie!" If you go to Harry's in St. Augustine, do yourself a favor -- sit on the balcony! You get this postcard-perfect view of the waterfront and the Lions Bridge, right next to El Castillo de San Marcos. It's like dinner and a history lesson with seasoning! Our server Jeremy from Indianapolis was awesome -- he just moved to Florida and already delivering 5-star service. (Good luck out here, buddy, just wait till you meet Florida humidity ). We found this spot on TikTok, and for once, TikTok didn't lie! The calamari was crispy, the fish tacos were , and yes... I ordered a hamburger at a seafood place. I know, I know -- but don't judge me, the burger was legit!

When visiting Saint Augustine, I saw this location when we drove by to get to the alligator farm. I enjoy eating seafood on occasion, though I try to stick mostly to a meat free diet. A vacation or work trip seemed like the perfect time to splurge; especially since the seafood is fresh in Florida versus a landlocked state where I live (Arizona). Love the view of the water from the table and was a great ambiance for a Sunday afternoon lunch. Our waitress was fantastic and hope her wedding went well! Loved the recommendations, and she was right - the hot sauce was so good!!! I had to get two bottles to take home as souvenirs. The food was also fantastic!

Went straight for the main course and got the New Orleans Ribeye-was a bit dry but taste was OK with the complimentary sides. The Andouille fish was very tasty, blended well with the red rice and house sauce. There was a less than 10 minute wait for our seats. Service was quick from Rick during our visit. Much appreciated.

My husband had heard about the ghostly history of this restaurant and wanted to eat here, so we decided to check it out. I didn't see the inside of the restaurant as we were seated in their gorgeous outdoor courtyard. It was quite magical out there! It did start to rain and the waiters immediately brought large umbrellas to all the people sitting there. Normally I would be annoyed by the rain, but it added a sense of whimsy. I ordered the blackened red fish, and my husband had the ribeye steak. My fish came with a Creole type rice, and collard greens, and a rich cream sauce. My husband's steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned! I had a bite of it and it was just divine! The restaurant was dog friendly, and that's always a plus for us! A live musician started to play his guitar and sing halfway through our mail and that was lovely! We didn't see any ghosts, but our waitress sure had and told us a couple stories! If you're in St Augustine, and you're looking for a really great restaurant, I suggest you check out Harry's! read more

I will start this review by saying, this was not my first time coming here. In fact, I've been coming to Harry's for years at several of their other locations. It has always been one of my favorites which is why we chose it for my husbands 59th birthday. What a complete disappointment. It seems that the prices have gone up but the quality and service have gone down since the last time I was there. It was average at best. Each of us (and there were 4) had something different and it was the same all around. "It's ok". That was not what I expected nor what I have ever experienced before. I'd be hesitant to return as we had over a $200.00 bill and none of us had alcohol drinks. We had water! As for the ambiance, it's super busy which makes it loud. One thing I did notice, the walls and floors were dirty. I had to ask for a new fork as mine had food stuck to it. That grossed me out! With so many other places to go downtown St Augustine, I won't be back here until I know for sure they've been overhauled and back to how they use to be. read more

Wow what a find... This place has plenty of seating both inside and out. For a nice view of the water sit upstairs . The food was Louisiana style Cajun and didn't disappoint. We had a waitress that was on her 4th and you would have thought she had been serving for years. We started with the seafood dip served chilled with crackers and Harry's hot sauce . Fantastic!!!

The food and service were both good, but the ambiance is really what drew us in. It is such a pretty restaurant in a great central location. The chicken dishes are okay. It didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked. The shrimp creole on the other hand, was AMAZING. The bread was also very tasty and served with a seasoned butter. We had the banana crème brûlée for dessert and it was my favorite part of the meal. We had about an hour wait time. Once we got seated, we ordered our food at the same time as the drinks to try to expedite our dinner, but the kitchen was behind and it took about 45 minutes to get our food after placing our order. read more
