Our server Ella took great care of us. Her personality realy made our meal so much better. She made some great recomendations and our conversations were wonderful. It was quite hot when we showed up, so we sat by the window to look out over the river. We recommend this restaurant for anyone in the area. read more

The atmosphere there was just OK after all it was a bar and grill. The waitress was friendly. I had the fish basket, the fish was slightly overdone, and those round fries were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, kinda hard to chew. My wife had chicken nuggets and the fries which were the same. The prices were kind of steep. Sitting on those high chairs was kind of uncomfortable. You couldn't relax. We might go back again and eat on the deck outside next to the river and try that for comfort. The price for both meals with soft drinks was $51and the tip brought it up to $61. For what we got I believe that was over priced read more

Nice place, knowledgable staff. Great atmosphere sitting outside watching the boats while sitting in the shade under a canopy. Food was good if a little pricey. Deducted a star because their parking lot, nor street parking, had any marked handicap spots. Deducted another star because when presented with the bill there is a notation that there is a credit card surcharge. Did not see this on the online menu. Did not see it on the table menu (unless maybe in small print on the last page???), or posted at the entrance. I don't pay any surcharge when paying for gasoline or supermarkets. Dislike sneakiness. read more

Four for lunch on Wednesday, 2:00 or so, not busy but a few tables occupied. Our server was friendly and efficient and meals did not take too long to arrive. The HH burger was OK, over cooked but a generous serving of fries, comes with chips. My wife had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It was a great size breast, not a pressed patty, it was cooked perfect and the sauce was excellent. She asked and the sauce is made there. She loved her lunch! Another had the walleye basket, she said it was very good and the other had perch and perogi. She love the perch, it is lake Erie perch, the perogis however were completely disappointing. Deep fried....? Raw or slightly cooked onions, they had an odd sweet flavor. We are all use to old fashioned homemade perogis. These were not close. Wife and I stop her often for drinks, usually come by boat, love the outdoor bar and the dockside atmosphere. Apps and drinks with river front seating is a great way to spend an afternoon. read more

We googled walleye near Huron and this place popped up, we decided to stop for a quick early dinner on the way home from cedar point, my husband got the walleye basket and I got the perch, the perch was eh and portion was very small. However his walleye was fantastic! My daughter got the pulled pork Mac and cheese it was a large portion, she enjoyed it. Only downside is that once our food was dropped we didn't see the waitress again for a long time, no refills and we were done eating for a while before we got our check. Other than that the ambience by the water was nice! read more

Visited this establishment specifically to see a band on their patio. The patio is first come, first serve so you need to scope out tables when it's busy. They have two outside bars which made it a little nicer to have a drink while waiting for a table. Once we grabbed a table, a server came over to take drink orders, give us menus, and somewhat cleared off the dirty table. We ordered Walleye Bites and Walleye Tacos. I ordered the Orange Crush off the drink menu for something different & new. The drink was delicious, but overpriced. The food was really good! I would definitely come back for both items we had on the menu. The band was fun and the patio was full all night. We didn't sit right on the water but the tables along the lake have great views. A good place for a date, dinner with family, or a night out to see a band on their patio. I'd definitely come back. Yes, it's overpriced but it's also on the water. read more

Nice location and good food. We had picked at random and were happy with our choice. My wife enjoyed her meal and the atmosphere, as did I

Great little waterfront view, fresh fish snd a great cocktail menu. Whether you choose to walk, drive or idle up in your boat you will be happy to relax. We ordered heavy appetizers, hot fresh and perfect for sitting on the patio. The walleye bites were fantastic, simple and the tartar was just as good, extra pickle! The tacos were a good size and filling. Simple review, you can't go wrong with a deck over looking the water. Whether you are looking for family friendly or a girls night out head yo the harbor house. Okay read more

They don't have Lake Erie Perch or Walleye! Besides that tragedy, the non-seafood menu is very good. The Cajun Steak Alfredo and burgers are good. The drink menu is pretty expansive and there are two popular river-side bars to enjoy the drinks. While enjoying a drink outside on the river, there is live music every weekend during the summer (Thursday-Sunday). Overall, a classic spot in Huron, Ohio during the summer. Good food only a few feet from the lake and it's always nice to take a walk on the pier after eating at Harbor House. read more

Harbor House - Black and bleu burger with fries ($1.99 up charge) - Bars Near Me - Huron, Ohio

First time at this restaurant and I 100% will never come back, they don't have a host, so good luck finding a table without getting cut by random people walking all over the place, food is over priced and bland and soggy or dry, I ordered the ahi tuna b.l.a.t, it came out if some dry white bread, two pieces of tuna, and a bunch of lettuce, with no avocado, it was so dry and flavorless there was no way I was going to eat it especially for 20$ I asked the waitress to replace it... it took 40 minutes to get the tacos instead, and guess what? She charged me for both because I ate the fries while waiting at my table with everyone else eating around me. Strange? I have worked in restaurants on and off for years, never have I ever had an experience like this, as a customer, or god forgive as the poor waitress who had to take all the blame for the "manager" who gave her the short end of the stick and risked her tip by not handling the situation properly. Food not good, service iffy, never going back. Thanks for letting us add this to our "never again" list!!!! read more

Harbor House - Bars Near Me - Huron, Ohio

Awesome outdoor seating They have picnic tables and other patio chair. Sometimes they even have live music. Nice view right on the river where you can watch boats go buy. Service was great and food was delivered quickly. The menu has a number of options most are fried in nature. We tried the perch and pierogis. Perch was a little greasy and pierogis are fried. The Mac n cheese was alright. Husband liked his burger. The sweet potato fries with the special sauce were really good. read more

We are in town for a tournament. Visited the Cantina patio. Returned for drinks later that night. The Cantina is along the river. We highly recommend the Bushwacker (speciality drink) The menu is filled with walleye and perch (tacos, by the pound, sandwhiches). Apps were pricey with lots of fried options. They offer 2 salad options, a kids menu and a full bar. Kitchen service was slow. The team arrived at noon Sunday for lunch. I was very happy they accommodated a group of 20 inside the restaurant. Everyone found something they liked. But again service was slow. A. We were a big group B. Every restaurant is short staffed. I get it. I would like see more vegetarian options. Would would return. read more

It was our last day and we wanted to find a dog friendly bar and grill overlooking the lake. My Mr had this bookmarked on Yelp. He called the restaurant and thankfully they do welcome pets. You can seat yourselves so we chose a picnic table with shading. Our server was very kind and brought our Frenchie a dog bowl. Very thoughtful and greatly appreciated it. The menu selection has a a lot to offer from appetizers, tacos, meals, sandwiches, wings and more! They do have a good craft beer selection, specialty mixed drinks, domestics and wine. I opted for the Walleye bites basket ($16.99) which comes with sidewinder fries and coleslaw. My Mr got the Perch fingers basket he subbed the fries for the sweet potato waffle fries (which comes with a maple sauce) and it came with coleslaw. For beers my Mr got the Catawba Island Lake Erie love (Kolsch) and I got the Twin Oast Eriesponsible Pale Ale. Both on drafts. We didn't have to wait long for our meals. The were both delicious. Both the fish were fresh and not greasy. The fries were amazing. Especially the waffle fries! The maple sauce was a perfect with it! Overall, we had a great experience and glad that we stopped by. read more

I was legit surprised that this spot got such low reviews. Honestly, I really enjoyed it, and my lady did too. Plus, being VERY dog-friendly was a plus in my book. My lady and I were about to start a drive home from a relaxing vacation in Huron, OH, and wanted to stop by a local place for lunch first. We saw this spot here on Yelp, and despite the low ratings, we decided to check it out. The place looked pretty cool, especially being right on the water, with lots of outdoor seating (dogs are only allowed on their outdoor patio). Our server was super friendly and brought our dog some water when she brought our waters too. Their menu was fairly diverse and their beer menu was nice too. My lady ordered a Twin Oast Eriesponsible pale ale and I ordered a Catawba Island Lake Erie Love kolsch (Yeah, even after the not-so-good experience at their brewery. See my review on then for details. Still good beer though.). For our meals, my lady had the walleye basket with sidewinder fries, and I had the perch basket with sweet potato waffle fries. Both came with cole slaw. Everything was very tasty and the cole slaw tasted super fresh. Both the walleye and perch were excellent, definitely the best we'd had in the area on this trip. I liked this place and would absolutely go again if my lady and I plan to be in the area again. Great food, good beer selection, friendly service, and a very nice view. read more

Harbor House - A brew and a view. - Bars Near Me - Huron, Ohio

First found this spot on Memorial Day. We stopping in and grabbed some dinner with our 2 dogs on the patio. They had live music which was decent and entertaining. Food was average with service on the low end. Our experience was good enough we would come back. Fast forward and we brought our son and his fiancé for dinner. Again live music with a 80/90 band. They were pretty good. Service was better but not great. Food was pretty good and better than first visit. Pulled pork nachos were great. Loved watching the boats on the river. Only negative was sanitation measures were lax. Our table was sticky and not cleaned well. Had to ask for a wipe down. I noticed other tables barely being wiped off. More focus on speed in flipping the table than take time to do it right. I would come back but would want to see better cleaning protocols. read more

Had lunch here recently. It took quite awhile to get a server over to greet us! Placed our drink order and reviewed the menu! I ordered the steak and poblano tacos with a side of onion rings. My wife ordered the mussels! Both were good but neither was great! The steak was very chewy and lacked much flavor and was interesting that the meat was hot and the corn and beans were cold! The onion rings were good! It took awhile to get the waitress to bring our check! read more

The atmosphere of the outdoor deck was awesome, with boats moored next to our table. My wife has a gluten and dairy allergy and it was very hard to get confirmation on what foods she could actually order. The waitress tried her best, but seemed like no one was knowledgeable enough about the menu (not even the cooks). One of the waitresses definitely went above and beyond to assist us. But our order was taken and a little while later the waitress is came up and basically said ordering the salad was her only option and that what she ordered would not work after being told that it would. That was very disappointing. Then in the middle of ordering her salad, my meal is brought to me. Our meals should've been brought out to us together, even if it meant re-cooking mine due to the inconvenience. It was very disappointing not eating with my wife. I would've given them three stars if our dinner was brought to us at the same time. I got the perch and pierogi dinner, the perch was very good and perfectly cooked m. the pierogi's were deep fried and they were hard crispy and dry. I expected the pierogies to be soft and sautéed on the grill not hard, crispy and dry cooked in grease. This has to be the lowest rating i have ever given a Restaurant. The only reason why they got two stars, was because of the outdoor seating, the perch, and the one waitress that really tried her best to help out. read more

Update: 5 hours later I got food poisoning. I don't have any allergies. We walked into the restaurant and it said to seat yourself. We sat at a table for 25 mins and we didn't get any service. Servers walked by us numerous times and did nothing. Didn't even ask if we had been helped. So we got up and moved to the bar. The bartender took her sweet time so by the time we got menus, it had been 35 mins. I got bang bang shrimp with fries and coleslaw as my main and pierogis as my appetizer. My boyfriend got their raspberry jalapeño poppers burger as his main and soft pretzels as his appetizer. Everything sounded great on paper. We were excited and really hungry. Took forever to get to order. Food was worse than frozen food. I'm pretty sure they served us frozen food. The bang bang shrimp was barely drizzled with a sauce that was supposed to be spicy Mayo but instead tasted like Buffalo sauce. I had to get more sauce on the side. It was so bad I couldn't finish my plate. The coleslaw tasted so bad and I like coleslaw typically! The fries were decent. The pierogis were lukewarm and decent. Came with lukewarm grilled onions and sliced sausage. Edible but I could have gotten something better at Walmart's frozen aisle. The burger was overpowered by raspberry sauce and the jalapeños were not spicy at all and had no flavor. The cream cheese was bland. The patties were dry and overcooked. The pretzels were soft and decent but they served it with weak honey mustard. Was expecting stadium/stone ground mustard. The dipping cheese was the gross nacho cheese. Would not go back or recommend to anyone. read more

Food and ambiance was awesome! Right on the canal out to the lake. Went twice while visiting the lake. Had a great band Saturday night!

We came here based on reviews from a friend, so expected more than we got. No seating available outside, so we had to eat inside where it's freezing cold from the A/C and dark, because it's a bar. Waited a very long time for a server to take our drink order. The bartender was our server, so her time was limited. Two of us ordered the Club Sandwich, both with the rosemary fries. One ordered a BLT and one a shrimp p'boy, both with the sweet potato upcharge. The server doesn't write anything down, so it's no surprise when the food comes, that everything isn't right. One club had sweet potato fries, and the BLT had rosemary fries. Told her the problem and she said there wouldn't be a charge for the sweet potato fries. No kidding, we didn't want them with the Club. We had to handle the mistake amongst ourselves. Anyway, one club had all the heels of bread as the bread, which was awful. The meat was too thick and no flavor to anything. The BLT was fine as was the po'boy. Prices are low, so you basically get what you paid for. Disappointed with just about everything so we won't be returning. read more

The food was good but when we got there we had to wait like 20 minutes for our waiter, after she went and got drinks for the other half of our group in the table beside us. My mom had to go to the bar to ask for someone to bring us menus. wWhen we got a waiter she really didn't handle us she came maybe twice, we were the for over an hour.

After spending most of the day cruising to Kelly Island and Put-In-Bay, our friends were interested in stopping for dinner on the way home. As we entered the town of Huron, I remembered another friend mentioning the Harbor House as being a decent place to eat. The restaurant is your typical waterside bar/restaurant. The inside is dark and rustic. The rather large bar is the heart of the inside of the restaurant. (Strike one). Unfortunately, there are very few tables on the outside deck, all of which were occupied. (Strike Two) With two strikes before we had even looked at a menu, I was concerned that we had made a mistake picking this restaurant. However, things improved from this point forward. Our server (Melissa) was warm and friendly. The menu is not large, but we each found something to eat. My wife ordered a club sandwich and I a BLT. I upgraded my side from French Fries to sweet potato waffle fries. My wife enjoyed the Club (it was large, so she took halve home for lunch the next day). The BLT was vey good, but the waffle fries were the star of the meal, especially with the dipping sauce. Service was very good and prices were very reasonable. read more

Pleasantly surprised! We traveled with our pup and teens and needed to find a place to accommodate both and were happy to have stumbled here. The food was awesome! We had: *3 different types of Mac and Cheese (southern, bbq pork, steak) - sinfully amazing *Pablano steak tacos - yummy *Fiery Fritos Steak Wrap - sooo good! *BLT - oldie, but goodie. We asked for it without mayo, it was wrong, but fixed after 10 minutes. They completely remade it and the side item. *Sidewinder fries... OMG, best fries ever! I would return just for these fries. We also had some of the mixed drinks that were good Dirty Shirley and a Blue Lemonade. Must mention that we were here during Sunday lunch and sat on the patio with our dog on a gorgeous day. There was a cover band as well as a biker bingo (Harbor House was a stop) so the place was hoppin'! Our waitress was swamped but always smiling. We would definitely return should our travels bring us back to Huron. read more

Disgusting, everything was luke warm to cold. Not the waitress but one of the servers brought out the wrong order then gave me an attitude about it. Brought out the correct order which was cold cause they kept the sauce refrigerated. Daughter's cheese burger with egg wasn't cooked all the way through, I would've ate it but not a six year old. The fried egg had black stuff all over it from not cleaning the grill. The iced tea was like Nestle powder junk and gross too. My sister in law said when she was here it was fantastic. Maybe I came on a bad day, but it wasn't even busy. We won't be back but please visit and form your own opnion read more

Just moved to the area and was trying to find a new place. Walked in and waited 10 minutes for our table to be greeted. We ended up walking up to the bar to see if we could get some service and was told that they saw us and would be with us when they can. We finally got served after 15 minutes (there was only 15 people in the restaurant). Our waitress was amazing. She was the only one working as all the other workers were playing with the slot machines and sitting around including the bartender. Dinner came and not only was the bang bang shrimp extremely mushy but our replacement chicken was cold and slimy. Unfortunately was a terrible experience and will not be returning. read more

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY ZERO REASON TO SET FOOT IN THIS DUMP. I've been to dive bars that are nicer! One star is a complement to this place. if I could give it zero stars I would. The food is nasty, low quality and haphazardly prepared. I mean, actually gross. I was totally offended. My friend had a frozen budget steak. YUCK. Looked awful. I tried to choke down the steak quesadilla made with the same meat as their Philly steak sandwich. NOPE, not today, not ever. I'm an easy to please, down home farmer, mid 40's and this place was below par on every level. The ENTIRE place stunk of dirty bathroom and stale beer as soon as I opened the FRONT DOOR OFF MAIN STREET! Not to mention how filthy everything is. SERIOUSLY, no joke. I don't know how anyone could bring themselves to work here. The downstairs bar is more tacky than a bar inside a trailer home. Not a joke. You can tell it WAS formerly a nice place but some Darilek filled it with the crappiest tables and chairs. It looks cheap, dirty and I was embarrassed to have taken a friend there. THE ONLY REASON I TRIED IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS AT THE HOTEL NEXT DOOR. DO NOT GO HERE. This place needs saved because it has a stellar view. read more

A perfect spot for a summer Saturday evening. Snagged a spot in the Huron River. Started with drinks and spinach dip. Anna did an awesome job getting everything out quickly and accurately. Entrees of perch and walleye baskets followed. Very tasty and very generous portions. This was our first visit, but definitely not the last! read more

We live in Huron, OH. I believe in supporting local businesses and it was in this spirit that my wife and I decided to give Harbor House another chance after several less than stellar visits. Our last disappointing visit was at the beginning of the summer season so we had hopes that the restaurant would have worked the bugs out by mid-August, shaken off the winter doldrums, etc. Unfortunately, today was our worst experience yet. We arrived at Noon and were the first customers. Although our server took our orders within 5 minutes, it was nearly 45-minutes before our lunch order came up. I ordered blackened walleye tacos. The fish was definitely not "blackened" but was instead deep-fried. And I seriously doubt it was walleye but more likely perch. Although whatever species of fish it was at least seemed reasonably fresh-tasting, the "tacos" consisted of a couple of pieces of the fried fish sitting on each of the three soft flour tacos. In addition to the fish, each taco included a layer of VERY watery slaw with a side of some strange-looking tartar sauce. When I picked up each taco and attempted to fold/eat it, enough water drained out of the slaw to cover the bottom of my plate. Absolutely hands-down the worst fish tacos I've ever had. My wife had their chicken wrap. The chicken was watery and didn't seem as though it had been cooked sufficiently. Altogether a very disappointing Saturday lunch experience. This is a bar masquerading as a restaurant, and a poor masquerade it is. read more

Our server Brittany was amazing but everything went down hill from there! We arrived at 4:50 PM the patio was about half full. We sat and ordered in about 10 minutes. At 6:15, after being told multiple times that our food would be out next I went to locate a manager to inquire about our food. The kitchen manager would not come out to speak with me, I was referred by the bar tender to the patio manager who explained that "this happens sometimes!" Our food finally arrived at 6:20 for most of us and 6:30 for one member of our party! We had multiple tables around us that came after us, were seated, served and left before we ever got our food but in their world that is normal! I like this place and have eaten here often with my family when we are out with the boat but this was a terrible experience and the management made no attempt to solve the problems or even speak to us about our concerns! read more
