Maybe better in the regular season. No sense of service or urgency at this place. Understand staffing challenges but when everyone stands behind the bar just talking to each other it's a operations issue. read more

Nice place. Food is fresh. If you looking for a Quick place to eat this is the police.

Conveniently located under the movie theater, this burger place is one of the newer additions to Stone Harbor this summer. They have a decent craft beer selection on tap, but there's no menu for the draft or the bottles. They have a small cocktail menu though, with prices starting at $10. They had a lot of staff but only one server, which was a little strange. We started with the mozzarella sticks which were really delicious and hot, but it only came with 3 and they were $10. We were going to order the pretzels with beer cheese, but after watching the next table receive theirs, it looked like it was only an order of 2 or 3 of the type of pretzel that you microwave from the freezer, for about $12 (which is ridiculous, I might as well go to the Wawa down the road and I could make the same ones). We ordered the Texas burger, and the meat was cooked well and as requested but the barbeque sauce lacked flavor. The fries, which cost extra, were really good and probably the best part of the meal. We also had the margarita flatbread, which also lacked a little flavor, so I spiced it up with red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese that I quickly requested. The service wasn't good, the food left quite a bit to be desired, and the prices for what you're getting are pretty bad, so I don't think we'll be returning. read more

This is a really great option for burgers and such but it is pricy. We stopped in tonight, we've been watching the construction and we're excited to see the old theater open back up. We didn't catch a flick just a bite. We had the fish tacos, the Cali burger and a grilled cheese for my boy. The full bar has a nice selection of draft beers but no menu so I'm not sure what bottles are available only the drafts that our waitress told us about. Honestly, everything was very good, maybe things could have been hotter but my Cali burger had nice slices of avocado and ordered medium, it came out a perfect medium. My wife had the ahi tuna tacos and it's been a while since she had been happy with any fish tacos and these tacos win for her! The order was 2 tacos but they are stuffed to the max and visually appealing. She couldn't remember the last time she was happy with fish tacos, so now every trip will include a stop here now! Our boy had a grilled cheese and loved it and the side of fries are shoestring style which are our favorite. Our waitress Asia was very friendly and got us in and out without any pressure or feeling rushed so that was nice. We will be back for sure, but it is pricy. 15$ for a burger and the fries are a 2$ up charge, so there in lies the 5th star for me, if it was a little less expensive that would put it over the top, but at least everything is fresh, tasty and cooked right, so you'll leave happy! read more

The burgers is where it's at. I really enjoyed the Texas burger which was cook just as I wanted. Opted for sweet potato fries instead of the chips. As a burger and no fries is just not an option for me. The place can get a bit noisy with the theater a few feet away but generally an ok experience. Thank you read more

What a terrible restaurant. Slow service, horrible food & extremely overpriced. Our server was very nice & helpful. I payed over $78 plus tip for some fried seafood bites, chips and cold thin fries. Overpriced garbage. Disgusting food & extremely, extremely, extremely overpriced crap. read more

Bad CX to Good: Ordered a Cape May IPA and a Beyond Burger -- the bartender left my beer sitting under the tap, and I waited more than 30 mins before finding out that the kitchen dropped my burger and had to make another one. The IPA is very good. Still waiting for the burger :/ SURPRISE-- the bartender chased me down the street to give me my money back! He said "it's on me." I insisted he keep my cash but he refused to accept it. He said "Please come back again so we can make it right." I acquiesced. This is the best example of a person turning a bad customer experience into a good one. I'm really glad this demonstration of service happened because I have a fond memory of the bar -- this is the place I visited last summer. I grabbed a beer and a burger and watched Jake Elliot kick a 61-yard field goal in what was a pivotal moment in the Philadelphia Eagles season. read more

WELL I'm not usually one to bother and leave a one star review, I tried to call and speak to a manager but nobody answered the phone, so I think that speaks for itself. I'm going to break this down so it's easier to read cause this is gonna be a long one. FIRST: I drove all the way to Stone Harbor from Erma to try this place, so this whole experience ruined the chances of ever coming all the way back to give it another chance. We were waiting by the hostess stand and were told someone would be right with us and that's perfectly fine, as long as someone acknowledges me I don't mind waiting at all. SO we were seated and the food smelled good so I was excited to try it. The hostess said that "Chris would be right with us", okay great! Only we waited close to 15 minutes to even be greeted by our waitress who approached our table acting like she wasn't our waitress and said "has anyone helped you yet?" We said no, and then proceeded to say "well I'm Chris, I'll take your order" (UNLESS THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAITRESS NAMED CHRIS THEN YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE OUR WAITRESS!!!) SECOND: The waitress named Chris says in a sarcastic tone "wow sorry you had to wait" even though we made no comment about waiting whatsoever, I just said we were ready to order if that was okay with her. So my fiancé and I both ordered a crab bisque and I got a crab cake sandwich and he got the breakfast burger. She leaves and then we wait 20 minutes for our soup to come, meanwhile she is talking to the tables she has on either side of us but does not acknowledge us again once. THIRD: we give it another few minutes and the soup still does not come, so we decided to walk out and go somewhere else since we were drinking water (which I was pretty much done with after all this time). We are not picky people, but this was ridiculous. It felt like she was being purposely rude to us. I work as a waitress as well so I know how demanding the job can be, but this place has a max of 20 tables and 5 waitresses on the floor, not to mention it was a slow Tuesday at 6:30 at night. In conclusion, we ate somewhere else and enjoyed the rest of our night and I will not be returning. Maybe it was just our waitress Chris, but I didn't even get to try the food. What a shame. It was truly a pathetic experience and idk what they must be like on a busy summer night. Guess I'll never know! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! Stopped in over the weekend to escape the madness of the 96th Street festival and had a GREAT experience. Our server, Jordan was soooo attentive and really made sure we had an incredible experience. Food was great and came out hot and fast! Highly recommend the cheesesteak eggrolls and the Bleu Rugula burger! After our meal we came back later in the night for drinks where Kath the bartender was another gem! We loved the cocktails and conversation! Can't wait to come back next summer for more! 10/10 read more

One of the best places to get a great salad & good comfort food. Service here is great & the server are friendly. This place is one of my favorite shore spots read more

Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place! We've dined at Harbor Burger a few times before, but tonight we stopped to just grab some beer. My husband got Yuengling and I got Sam Adams, both on draft. When we asked for a check, there was no price breakdown with taxes, it just had a total of $14.50. We live in NYC and even there beer doesn't cost that much. We were simply not in the mood to argue or anything, so we paid $16 total and left. I noticed drink menu on the way to the ladies room - $4 for Yuengling & $6 for Sam Adams. Such a shame! Will never come back because of such disrespect. read more

Place was excellent. Worth the trip to Stone Harbor. Outside seating is limited but not a long wait for a table. We ordered the Mac and Cheese Burger and Surf N' Turf Burger. Both were delicious. The Mac and Cheese was my fav of the two. Prices are very fair. Not overpriced for drinks or food especially for the location. Table next to us got nachos and they were piled high and loaded with toppings. Service was great. Waitress was attentive and very polite. Can't wait to go back!! read more

Really wanted to like this place since they are right in the center of stone harbor, but the food fell short. I ordered the crab cake sliders - house made crab cakes which were pan fried, my crab cakes were good, but the bun and the fires that came with were stale. The truffle fries must have been sitting out for some time because they were hard as a rock. The location is about the only thing I liked about this place. read more

This was bad, burger had no seasoning, the sweet potato fries tasted like bad air fryer food. The drinks tasted like cough syrup and the service was unpleasant as can be. He cares more about turning tables then customer experience. read more

Great menu selection. We had the Mediterranean burger, steak sandwich, Texas burger, buffalo chicken egg rolls, Bavarian pretzels with cheese, and the truffle fries. Portions were a good size and the food was still good even after we walked home with the take out. Customer service was good and the staff was friendly. read more

Been coming to SH for 7 years. Every year we complain that there aren't enough decent restaurants in this town, so was excited to see a somewhat hip-ish looking burger place open up next to the theater (er, kind of in the theater) on 96th street. At the time of our visit the place had received mixed Yelp reviews. Our experience was positive. Here's why: - Asya (pronounced Asia), our waitress was awesome. Super friendly, accommodating, and on top of things. - The wings were solid. When we couldn't decide whether to get the spicy Buffalo or the BBQ Asya offered to split the order (again, very accommodating). The wings were meaty and cooked well, and both styles were flavorful. If I had pick one over the other I'd say I preferred the BBQ, which was more sweet than smokey. - We had three burgers and all were cooked to medium rare as ordered. Not overcooked as some other reviewers experienced. The buns were ample but not oversized, and super soft. The kettle chips were fresh and crispy. Naturally, a place that names itself the Burger Bar is setting expectations for its burgers. I wouldn't say they were the very best burgers we've ever had in our lives, but more than respectable. - The two drinks we had, a Gin & Tonic and a Hollywood Margarita, were very good. I had the margarita and it was sizable and relatively stiff. Overall, I'd say it's a good addition to the town and that we'll be going back. read more

Bleh. Bleh to everything. What a disappointment. In my opinion, if you call yourself a "burger bar" you better have the best burgers in town. You're telling the burger eating world that this is your forte! Sadly, this is not the case for Harbor Burger Bar. After receiving our $3 and very flat, sugary soda, we waited... and waited until Ashley, ( sorry gotta call this one out) our server, moseyed on over to our table. Either this girl was having a bad night or she needs to find a new profession- and quickly! She never once mentioned a special which we didn't know existed until well into our meal. She took our order but never asked how we wanted a burger cooked. When someone asked for the sauce on the side instead of on the burger she became very confused. She asked "do you mean you don't want it on the burger?" Yes. Yes, that is exactly what we mean. Another asked what kind of sauces / condiments do you have...I thought poor Ashley was going to pass out. She scrunched up her face, shook her head and shrugged her shoulders. She managed to get out "uhhhhhh ...ummm... ranch?" Okie dokee then! Ranch it is! We did not see her again until she brought the check. In terms of food-bacon was undercooked and somehow bland. Burgers were way over cooked, way over priced and as dry as the beach down the block! Terrible service. Terrible burgers. Total let down. read more

We are regulars and frequent the burger bar often. We enjoy the tasty burgers, truffle fries and boozy shakes. Unfortunately on New Years Day I can only give three stars for the food only! Our service was very poor. On arrival we were told by our waitress that Milkshakes could not be made because they were out of power. Then we sat for over forty five minutes waiting for our food while two tables that came in after us were served their food. Our waitress was not attentive at all and we had to ask another server to check on our food. After that our food came out but not all together. Our server did not ask if we needed anything else. We needed more drinks. Only one of us got another drink by going to the bar himself and asking for it. Our food was good but our service was not! read more

It's been a few years since we have been here. It was dinner and a movie for us tonight. My partner ordered the mango chicken sandwich. The fried chicken which was just 1/8" thick was topped with dry diced mango pieces and undressed cole slaw. The sandwich was underwhelming. I on the other hand ordered the blue cheese burger which was exceptional. We will be back again but will probably stick to the burgers. read more

Surprisingly good food that comes out faster than expected! Seemed to be a little understaffed, but our waitress was on her game and couldn't have asked for better service. Great selection of burgers, good assortment of apps and some fantastic local beers. We'll be back soon. read more

Burgers were delicious, nachos were incredible, and the wings were so tasty. They practiced proper social distancing and I felt comfortable enough to order food from there multiple times. read more

I almost went 2 stars for this review but we will return again to give them another chance. However, the service was sorely lacking during our first visit to this place. First, it took forever to get our appetizers. When we finally did get them, our entrees arrived moments afterwards which is not the correct timing! So we had all this food on our already cramped table. And about that table.....why was a party of 5 seated in the bar seating area when there were plenty of tables and booths available? It was uncomfortable sitting on seats with no backs, especially for those of us (like me) who are a bit long in the tooth. Our server went missing for most of our meal and when she did resurface, she was with the rest of the wait staff talking to the bartender....for long periods of time - I have never seen anything like this...don't interrupt their conversation! Lack of attention, lack of energy and no hustle...and the place was half empty. Burgers were mediocre, not bad but just "so so." Remind me again why I didn't give 2 stars? read more

I've been there many times, and the service and food have already been great. This time I tried to call in a take out order on a Friday night. Called every few minutes for an hour - phone always busy. Didn't want to drive downtown and wait in the store for 1/2 an hour so gave up and ordered pizza. Come on guys, get your phone system up to speed. read more

I came here with my family to enjoy a dinner in stone harbor. The place itself is really neat and clean. Food is very enjoyable. However, the service is absolutely horrendous. Our waitress came to the table to take our drink and food order, and never returned. The table next to us felt the same way. Pretty bizarre read more

Burger place in town close to shops and centrally located. Indoor and outdoor seating

I was very excited because they have a good amount of different kinds of burgers and it states CLEARLY on their menu how everything is seasoned. When we get there, the hostess seems to not even care about the world today- okay, everyone is entitled to an off day. When we get seated, our server came over and for a lack of better term, his personality was very dry. Didn't seem to want to help us at all. The food was portioned OK, the only plus side is they gave a lot of fries on the side (which I would hope so with a $2 upcharge). Needless to say I've had better "meatless" burgers before. I won't be returning. read more

Solid burger with wonderful presentation. I had the Cali burger with truffle fries. Beef was well cooked and filling; my only complaint is that the normal fries (which were less expensive) were better than the truffle fries, although I could simply not like truffle fries lol. All in all excellent experience read more

Great burger spot in Stone Harbor!! Great! Have a burger before or after a movie or just go and skip the movie! Great drinks, great apps and great burgers. The burgers are made fresh and they have a variety of them, try the sweet potato fries, calamari or wings! you wint go wrong read more

Being that this is the first time I've ever been to Stone Harbor and was just looking for a good burger place, I thought this sounded good. The staff were very friendly and my burger did not disappoint! The "Classic Burger" was thick and juicy with all the trimmings, and the fries were delicious! I loved the outdoor seating and open/rustic feel to it. The service was great, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great selection of beer and /or burgers! read more

The food was very good, service was excellent and we had a fun time with our little kids (who are not the easiest customers!) We had the chicken nachos, burger, kids grilled cheese and salad. The Nachos had a delicious sauce like Queso and lots of toppings- huge appetizer that was great for 4 of us. The kids loved their grilled cheese and fries. The burger was huge and juicy. Salad was fresh. We thought the prices were good for a resort town and the food was a step higher than expected. They have a full bar (yay!) Service was attentive and fast- exactly what you want with the little ones. The upgrade to 5 stars is for the beyond helpful service in helping me retrieve my lost phone. I left my brand new phone there and didn't realize it until the next morning! They knew who I was when I called and had it waiting for me. Super nice people. read more

Service was great. Ordered nachos only to have them arrive with a brown nacho cheese sauce on them. Come to find out it was a Guinness nacho cheese sauce. This was not noted on the menu. We were looking for simply melted cheese over tortilla chips. Secondly our burgers came with a homemade chips and not fries. As this is our first time at this establishment I guess we needed our server to explain a little bit more to us. My burger was a hockey puck , thick with a fair amount of grizzle. My daughter opted for the Buffalo chicken Mac & cheese. Which was covered in and drowned in Gorgonzola cheese which also was not listed on the menu. It also had celery diced on top which was not listed on the menu and my daughter is allergic to celery. Sadly dinner for 4 with one beer was $85 and it was terrible. We had high hopes as the atmosphere is very cool but the food sadly was very poor. read more

Okay I was there on a Wednesday, June 27. I was there with a friend in Stone Harbor that day, for the Flyers Trial on the Isle, I wanted to go to the Water Star Grille, but my friend who only eats like burgers all the time balked at paying $16 for a burger and fries/side. So I saw Harbor Burger and said what the hell. Well our server was really nice, that's the best part of the experience. I got fish and chips, he got a burger. Well the fish was okay, but I knew it wasn't fresh. His comment on the burger was that he liked the roll. However, the real issue was the nasty shoestring fries. The fries came with the fish (aka Fish and Chips), he had to pay extra for the nasty fries. The fries got cold real fast and were not edible. Also first time I ever had fish and chips without slaw. My real issue was with the nasty fries. Its the beach, should be hand cut beach fries, not those nasty shoestring fries. Oh in the end, with him having to pay for the fries, it was still nearly $16 for the burger and fries. Also of note, those baskets they serve food in, with the handles are a bit annoying, the handles get in the way. I did write a letter to Harbor Burger over three weeks ago, but never got a reply. If they had done so, I would not have written this review. I get it two stars, only for the burger roll, the adequate piece of fish and the really nice girl who waited on us. read more

The service was terrible from the employee on the phone to the pick up counter employee could not have been any more disrespectful and abrupt and angry. In the past, this restaurant has been amazing. It's not worth the money to be treated that poorly; especially not in Stone Harbor. read more

Cool place. Disappointing food and pricey. The burger was not the best part of the meal. Shoestring fries were weak and the chicken panini was hard to tell apart from a quesadilla. Probably only still operating because of the alcohol and limited off season choices in Stone Harbor. Margate Dairy Bar crushes this place at a third of the price. read more
