One of our favorite spots to get premium burgers and beers. Great homemade desserts as well! We've also never had a bad experience with the staff...some of the best and friendliest you'll find anywhere.

Always greatly enjoy the food. The menu is small enough to not overwhelm you, yet big enough to still be able to try something new each time.

We used to love Harrys and would stop in on our way down south but this is our last time. Stopped in here for lunch and it was awful. They no longer serve fresh cut fries. Ordered a burger which was cold and the bun was smashed. Took over 40 min to get our lunch. Hoping this was a fluke.

I go here all the time and always love going. it is such a lively place, and the waiters are always very nice. the food is always amazing and ones they did mess up my order, but it was a bigger and better burger and even though it was more expensive they still charged the price of the first burger.

Went here with 25 soccer kids/families and they did a wonderful job. The service was great and fast. The food was delicious! I have never been to any restaurant that got us in and out in an hour and fifteen minutes for a team meal.

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!

This was the first time my wife and I have visited this place. We started with an appitizer of Shanghai Shrimp and it was outstanding!! I ordered the Ruben Sandwich and my wife had the Shrimp Poboy and it was delicious. I planned on taking photos but it looked so good we ate it up before I realized it!! There is a lot to choose from on the Menu and the adult drinks were great too. Definitely recommend this place and the service was friendly and fast and we will absolutely be going back!Kid-friendliness: There were multiple families with kids there.
