The drink specials were great, good prices and good drinks. Food was also great if a little pricey. My husband loved the Roadhouse burger.

After traveling for several days to visit friends and family for the holidays, we were faced with a snow/ice storm and a Nor'Easter running almost entirely along our path home. So, we decided to take a different/longer route and stay in Lexington, KY. We were very, very tired when we arrived, but what a delight we found in Harry's! Thankfully, this gem was super close to the hotel where we stayed (Hyatt Place, which is also lovely, btw)!The service was great and was matched with wonderful food, as well as a comfortable and relaxed environment. It was exactly what we needed!There are so very many options (you can also order from Malone's and Aqua) that I had to ask a lot of questions. I hate to be that person, but even though they were packed, the staff was very friendly and helpful when I asked for recommendations for local beers and information about a couple of dishes.We ended up with the spicy beef dumplings for an appetizer (if you like Japanese gyoza, these taste very similar to the one's "mama" in Japan makes). Yum yum!He got the Malone's twin filets with bearnaise. (There's also Harry's twin filets, and there is a difference in price! The Malone's comes with a bottomless salad and side, Harry's comes with a side. We didn't ask the difference, that's just what I noticed on the menu.) The filets had a perfect sear, glistening center, and very nice seasoning! Mac & cheese as a side was nice and creamy, ooey gooey with cheesy goodness! (To be clear, the bottomless salad is mixed lettuces, not mixed greens that people from elsewhere in the country might expect. Fine with us because we grew up in the Midwest. Others might expect endive, cress, baby greens, arugula, radicchio, etc. Those are not in this salad!)I ordered the fish and chips, mostly because I haven't had that in a long time, but the bartendress said that it had a light breading which sold me. The fish was FANTASTIC! One of the best I've ever had in my life! Glistening center, perfect amount of Old Bay seasoned breading, which was light and crispy... Perfect for the fish! It's so good I may have to drive up to Lexington one day just for this dish (and not eat along the way so I can eat the whole dish when I get there)!Crinkle cut fries were kinda cold when they came out, but they were fine. Eh, they're what you'd expect. I only had a few because we were sharing the salad (it's a very large bowl, btw. We never refilled it). The fish was supposed to come with slaw, but I didn't get it. I also didn't mention it to the staff because we already had too much food! (She did warn me that the fish and chips dish is huge. There's like 8-10 nice sized pieces of fish.)It was all so delicious we didn't want to stop eating! BUT they are NOT skimpy on the portions, so there was simply no more room in our bellies!Obviously we left food on our plates, but we're apparently gluttons. So, we did still order dessert; a layered brownie! (Seriously, how could we not try it? Brownie, Blondie, and a strawberry Blondie served warm with vanilla ice cream.) It was equally yummy, but we couldn't finish it! Soo much food! If we had more time, we would have gone back to try everything, but we decided to just get as much as we could in 1 night instead. Hahaha!Great big Kudos to the wonderful staff of Harry's! Thank you all for such a wonderful experience! We're definitely coming back!

Walked in and sat down. It wasn't busy. At least 6 different employees walked past us and never even acknowledged our presence. Will never be back. Wouldn't recommend. Seemed pretentious anyway.

Meh. I hear a lot of good things but it’s just not a good atmosphere for a nice dining experience, in my opinion.

Stopped at Harry’s for a much deserved lunch after a night of hard work following a UK game. We choose to sit at the bar as it just fits our group better. Food was good but like everywhere this weekend the kitchen was slow. Drinks were strong with good pours and Matt our bartender was friendly and helpful.Definitely a great Lexington experience.

Fantastic place to eat. With the choice of 3 different menus. From sushi to steak everything is covered. Food was fantastic. I highly recommend the baked lava roll. Wow! That was fantastic.

First time and was happy with the food, service and prices. They give you 3 different menus. One for Malone's, one for Harry's and another for an Asian fusion with sushi and rolls. Plenty of TVs to watch sports and YouTube.

There are two separate experiences available at this location--Harry's, which is a mid-level steakhouse and bar, and Malone's, which is a high-end steakhouse restaurant. I have been to both. Harry's certainly gives you more bang for your buck but sacrifices some of the atmosphere and vibe you'll find at Malone's. The food at both is phenomenal and appears to be essentially the same kitchen, but different menu--I have had great food at both. Be prepared to pay more than double at Malone's. My ratings here are based on my experience at Harry's.
