Located in Friendly Shopping Center. Harper's has been open for 35+ years. I was in the area so decided to grab dinner there. I've been once before & really enjoyed the food. We had Trey as our server and he was great. Very quick and informative. Checked on us several times to make sure we didn't need anything. I originally order the full rack of ribs but was shortly informed they were sold out. Bummer! So I went w/ the sirloin and fries w/ a house salad. The salad was delicious 10/10. It has cucumber, tomato, bacon and egg. The ranch was homemade and reminded me of the ranch from Jake's. The truffle fries were very good and crispy. I do wish they had aioli to go with them. I was a bit disappointed with the sirloin. I asked for it medium, it was definitely medium rare. Beautiful presentation; however the meat was tough & chewy! I was just expecting better quality. The kids meal option was probably the best and most cost efficient I've ever seen. You can pick from a list of about 8 different meals all for $6! + $1 for a drink & a dessert! $7 for a full meal and dessert is a steal especially in this economy. & the dessert was huge! Definitely shareable. My kid really enjoyed it. The prickly pear ranch water drink was sooo goood! The best one I've ever had. read more

I hadn't been to Harper's in quite some time and I need to put it back on the rotation. I got the salad with chicken supremes on it and it was absolutely delicious!!! The service was really attentive and for a lunch meeting it was quiet and our conversation was private. You don't find that often. The chicken tenders are really juicy and nicely spiced. You can tell they are hand cut and lightly battered. That really makes a difference. Great job! I will be back soon! read more

Spending part of my summer break back home in North Carolina meant I had to stop by an old favorite. Harper's at Friendly Center is one of those places that brings back memories because it's where my husband used to take me when we were dating. My favorite thing on the menu has always been the collard greens, and they still didn't disappoint! I also love the location. After a long day of shopping at Friendly Center, it's the perfect place to relax with good food, great drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere. Some places never go out of style, and Harper's is definitely one of them read more

Omg! I love the vibe here, the music was on point. AC was blasting on this hot day! I got the cake cakes meal with Mac n cheese. Crab cake was everything I could ask for, the sauce and veggies pair well with it. Love how they offer a lemon also to squeeze on the crab cake. I was in a need for a delicious salad and the house salad did not disappoint either. Came with eggs, cucumber and real bacon pieces not the fake hard ones in the bag. Hubby got him braised boneless beef short rib with collard green. He was also very pleased. We both finish everything on our plate no left over which is a good sign. Definitely check them out guys. I can see why they been in business for over 3 decades. Lots of parking right up front also. Bathroom was clean and bar area was super cool. FYI if you are a American Express Gold or platinum card member you get 500l.00 dine in credit also!!! read more

The ribs were tender and the portion was large, the BBQ sauce could have been better. The fish and chips were great, We had a a nice server and the restaurant vibe was laid back. The glasses are small, like highball glasses and so it was difficult for the server. We ordered iced tea and they did not have a pitcher for refills so he had to make a trip to bring us a new glass which meant there was nothing to drink several times throughout our meal. I like Harper's - just need some taller glasses and a new sweet smoky bbq sauce. read more

Harper's is a classic bar/restaurant and Grill. It's a very large restaurant with lots of seating. It is in an area with a lot of shopping so there is ample parking. Overall, the service was OK. It wasn't anything outstanding. Our server forgot a few things and mixed up orders a few times however outside of that, he was very pleasant The food overall was OK, nothing special. It was fine for a post work dinner, but I would not necessarily want to go back. read more

Bar area is comfortable and a typical bar vibe. Service was quick. Our waitress never let drinks go empty and was very attentive. The Rueben was awesome. Full of corned beef and perfectly grilled. The only downfall was the fact that the sandwich was so full, the bread got a little soggy. It was still very good. The fries were crispy and hot. Overall a very good experience! read more

Ok so the only reason I went with 4 stars is because we went here as a group and wanted items from the bars bite menu and unfortunately you cant do the happy hour bar bites prices if you dont go to the actual bar and with a group as large as ours we could only split the bills by 4 separate checks which is super inconvenient if you have a lot of seniors who dont use cash app or zelle or that type of technology. Now as far as the service, the staff was great and I ordered a kids chicken strip meal and an old fashion that was like a banana chocolate flavored one....it was weird but I drank it because im not wasting it lol but the chicken strips OMG I've eaten a gazillion chicken strips in my life and these were phenomenal. The batter was light and reminded me of tempura and the seasoning was so on point I would totally go back just to order this read more

I forgot to take pictures during my recent Father's Day visit, but appreciated the ability to make a reservation through RESY. We arrived a few minutes early for our 145 reservation and we were seated within five minutes of our arrival. The waste staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and provided us with some options for both Sunday brunch as well as lunch, including two separate drink menus. My husband and I ordered the deviled egg appetizer, I had the chicken and waffles which included the restaurants, famous chicken tenders, and my husband opted for a burger. We were so caught up in the conversation and the enjoyment of the food that we didn't take any pictures. read more

I totally forgot to take pictures, but I had the Tuscan ribeye with pesto sauce and grilled asparagus. Also ordered a house salad with blue cheese dressing. My husband had the same and I'm gonna have to tell you. This was one of the best meals I've eaten in a long time out, the steak was delicious that pesto sauce they have on there is so good. The service was amazing as always in the ambience was nice. It's a nice place to go. this was our Valentine's Day dinner and it was delicious and I really enjoyed it and I hate I forgot to take the pictures but we were enjoying going out. I did get a shot of the salad before I devoured it. read more

Harper's at Friendly Center in Greensboro is one of our go to's.. We usually eat in the bar area. The food is always good and the establishment has a "nice restaurant" vibe. Today I got the Salmon wrap and pasta salad. My wife got Chicken noodle soup and the Wedge salad. Not an elite food experience, but reliable upper scale chain in my opinion.. read more

I've never had a bad experience here! One of my go-to spots! Most recently, went to meet some long time friends for a catch up session over a meal. We went on a Sunday and thankfully it wasn't crowded so we were able to sit directly down. Everyone from the host to the wait staff greeted us with a smile and kept the same energy throughout the service! The food is always good! The Parmesan truffle fries are my favorite, so I got those with a salmon Caesar salad. So delicious! One of my friends got a side that they didn't like that much but the staff was accommodating and assisted with a switch out so that their meal would be great! The restaurant has a tavern feel to me. A very chill atmosphere where you can come for any occasion. The food options can go from a kid's pallet to an elder's pallet. Always seasoned, always flavorful and served with a smile! read more

My youngest son took me out for dinner this evening, and he made reservations to this restaurant. We ordered calamari as our appetizer, and it was delicious. He ordered the ribeye w steak fries and a coke. He wanted his steak cooked medium rare, and thought steak was slightly over cooked to his desired texture. I had the trout w garlic mashed potatoes, and a glass of Chardonnay to pair my meal w. Zack/ server was very cordial and attentive, which made our experience even better. We were both stuffed but couldn't resist to have dessert. Overall, I think Harper never disappoints again the service made a great impact to having a phenomenal dinner with my family. The restaurant is always clean. There's also a bar section that I may give it a shot one of these days. read more

Service was great and food was delicious. Salad was beautiful but small. I was trying to be healthy but I was still very hungry when finished. I got the salmon salad. Maybe a little bigger serving would do the trick! The dining area was comfortable and very nice. read more

I visited Harper's as part of a holiday luncheon with my colleagues. We were seated in a designated section of the restaurant and assured by multiple employees. The service was great. Everyone was friendly and helpful when answering any questions that we had. Due to this being a booked luncheon, we were given preselected menu items to choose from. I ordered the salmon with asparagus. I'm not a fan of asparagus, so I ordered a side of the mashed potatoes, which were so good. The salmon was lacking seasoning, in my opinion. While waiting for our lunch, a few of us walked over to the bar to order a drink. I ordered a Strawberry Lemon Drop. The bartender did her thing when making my drink. I wish that I remembered her name because she deserves all of the credit. I'd go back to Harper's just because of her bartending skills. The food was lacking for me. Perhaps I would've enjoyed it more if I was able to pick from other menu options. read more

Harper's Restaurant delivered great service from start to finish, and the spicy margarita was excellent. The steak was good and cooked well. I'm giving four stars due to the limited menu options. While they do offer soups, you have to ask the server, and there's only one pasta dish available. Most dishes also come with grits if you choose them. Overall, a solid experience with great service, but I'd love to see a more expanded menu. read more

We stopped in recently for dinner and we were not disappointed! I ordered the trout, sweet potato fries, and a side of seasonal veggies - all delicious. HIGHLY recommend the sweet potato fries with their honey mustard - it's basically drinkable. Hubby loved his wings and our toddler had zero complaints! read more

This place is GOOD and I'm mad that it took me so long to discover it! I went with coworkers on a weekday during lunchtime and it wasn't too busy. We were seated immediately. I ordered the salmon wrap. The wrap comes with your choice of side from three options (fries, sweet potato fries, or pesto pasta salad). I chose the pesto pasta salad. The whole meal was delicious! Service was quick and friendly. There were many other things I wanted from the menu, so I'll need to go again. Parking is plentiful since this is located in the Friendly Center. read more

We went for a Sunday lunch with our baby around 2pm and there was at least 5 table waiting in the line. We waited for around 25 minutes and they called us to show our table. I look around and they were at least 5 tables empty around us. What it looked like a full restaurant actually it was a disorganized staff that did not work properly to receive their customers. After that we stay for more 20 minutes to the waitress ask us about drinks and more 15 minutes to return to order the food. When the food came we were so hungry and tired of waiting, but I thought the waiting would worth it. Unfortunately, it doesn't. My steak was ok, the size was less than I expected, my husband order the tuna that at least was more tasty than mine. Probably won't came back for the long waiting but it sad to see such a nice, well located and beautiful restaurant with some disorganized service. read more

Met family here for Thanksgiving as we were out of town. Warm atmoshere and good service. Meal choice were turkey & prime rib that could be double ordered. All the fixings plus desserts. Groups of 4+ needed reservation. We had 6 people and all enjoyed meal. read more

Abysmal and ghastly. I'm being generous. We went one last time because an acquaintance said that the food was a bit improved. They were decidedly wrong. It was the same tried, trite and poorly executed food we had grown to loathe. I decided, for this was the last gasp at this " restaurant" so I offered the beef short ribs, the most expensive thing on the minimalist menu. When it arrived it was dried and tough ap with a nice bit of fat thrown in, served in an uninspired sauce. I fully understand why they are in a shopping center. There is a constant flow of one time patrons. This restaurant fails on so many levels I'm embarrassed for them. To be fair, the wait staff is good, personable and competent. Much more than can be said of the kitchen. read more

I've eaten here on many occasions. Food is normally good for the price. Sunday's dinner was an exception! The lemon herb chicken had neither of the flavors! The flavor was burnt! I couldn't taste anything but burnt! It was slightly overcooked and dry. The garlic mashed potatoes had no garlic flavor! The vegetables were the best thing on the plate and I'm not a huge fan of onions and peppers. Ordered a side of greens and they were pretty decent.The calamari was seasoned well but oily. Our server was very nice. It was a bit busy but she kept a check on us. read more

I visited with a group of friends on a Sunday. I was glad that they offer the ability to make reservations-both in the dining room and the bar. We arrived and were promptly escorted to our table where we met our waiter Justin. He was great. He offered great suggestions on drinks and food, was very attentive, had good conversation but not too pushy. I got the margarita. I hoped to get the smoky one but they were out of the mezcal needed to make it. The regular margarita was great. It was very fresh and the right kind of boozy. For dinner I got the ribeye, Caesar salad, and loaded baked potato. The ribeye had a great homemade pesto on it. It was perfectly cooked. Everything was well seasoned, arrived hot, and was delicious. I would definitely visit again! read more

I've been to this spot several times and each time is a different experience. I've had great food and also some not so great food. This visit falls somewhere in the middle. I ordered a salmon wrap and was a little disappointed. Overall the wrap was decent but it lacked a lot of flavor that it should have. No seasoning at all. Seems like they just assemble the wrap and didn't think about salt and pepper. They are not off my list just yet, I would go back and try it again if I get a chance. read more

Horrible water downed drinks at the bar but laughed it off with the bartender. The bar manager who wasn't even needed decided to take offense when none was needed and 'cut us off' after two drinks. Little man complex. The bartender herself couldn't have been nicer and apologized to us. What a little wimp read more

I wish I remembered to go to this place more often. I always sit on the bar side & it is very cute, nice date night ambiance. The food was spectacular! My husband ordered pasta & I went with my tried and true fish & chips. Honestly, his pasta was so good, I ate half! Service was so-so, neither good nor bad. She did her job, but nothing notable or friendly. We definitely recommend this place for a date night. It's somewhat pricy, but I would say the food is worth it. read more

Always consistent!! Local Greensboro eatery. Home cooked comfort food. This trip I had the meatloaf dish. It was different than most meatloafs, more like a scramble of meat. Very tasty. Side of grilled veggies and mashed potatoes. Perfect dish to start out fall. The service was great, a little slower than normal- but I believe just due to staffing and how busy it was on a rainy day. The bar is my favorite place to sit- it's always cozy feeling. read more

Stopped in for date night recently and really enjoyed it. We started with the Cajun calamari as our appetizer. The coating was light and crispy and had a decent flavor but I wouldn't say it was "Cajun" to me. For my entree I got the crab cakes and a side of Mac and cheese. I loved that the crab cakes had corn salsa and a Cajun sauce on top. It really complimented the crab cakes nicely and added some flavor. I really enjoyed my dinner and the service was nice as well. read more

Swung by Harpers while out in GSO shopping for lunch. Been years since I've been to Harpers and forgot what a solid spot it was. Had a few Red Oaks at the bar before we ordered. The bar seating area is better than the main dining area in most other restaurants. The deviled eggs with bacon are pretty good. Could a little more seasoning for my taste but I'd order them again without hesitation. Had the ribs and collared greens for lunch. Ordered the sauce on side because side I hate ribs that are over powered with bbq sauce. Anyway, ribs were perfectly tender, collards were very good and the slaw was very solid. read more

My husband and I are having a baby this week and naming her Harper, so for fun, we decided to go to Harper's as our "last dinner out" as a family of two. I haven't been to Harper's in years and my husband hasn't at all so we didn't go in with any expectations. We arrived on the early side at 4:00pm and it wasn't crowded at all. The restaurant was clean and just how I remembered it looking on the inside. Our waitress was friendly and prompt. We ordered the calamari for our appetizer and it came out super fast. It was piping hot, crispy, and delicious. The tarter and cocktail sauce were perfect. It also came with slaw, which I'm normally super picky about, and I have to say this slaw was incredible! For our entrees, we split the Parmesan crusted trout but traded the grilled veggies for a baked sweet potato and the Chicken Supremes with fries (and more slaw!) entree because of its high reviews. Again, both entrees came out quick and hot. Both were so good. We couldn't decide which was our favorite! We will definitely be returning soon to try out the cookie skillet or key lime pie. I was too full for dessert today! read more

Did anyone else get food poisoning from the Chef's special tomato bisque soup on Sunday, Apr 19, 2026? I ate there with my two sisters. I was the only one to have the tomato soup and the only one to get sick afterward. Within three hours of eating I was vomiting and had diarrhea. read more

I came in today. I had the worst service of my life. My server was Zach. He was on his phone most of the time I was there. He was super rude and short with my whole table. Along with this, it isn't my first time at this restaurant, and the food is good. I just have never had a server that was on his phone more than he was at my table. read more

The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere but is a bit loud. The service is great and very accommodating. The food was sub par. WE came in for brunch on Sunday. I had an omelet and it was too greasy to eat. I used 4 cocktail napkins to wipe it off and it was still greasy with no meat at all. Both of us had coffee and it was sour, and just bad. My wife had French toast and it was 3 large pieces but was covered in butter. They should let you put that on yourself. To get all the butter off she had to scrape all the pecans off too. the had a side of roast vegetables and they were vegetables soaked in oil. People say they are a "chef" and can't cook basic food. We gone there off and on since they opened. Just stick with a beer at the bar. read more
