I want to jump right in here and say: the wings. So I stopped in for a beer and booze and a book. While I'm here I spot the wings on the menu. I remember the dry rub wings being amazing. Great crust and tender meat. Today's was not that. Tender meat but the crust was a smidge over done, not enough to ruin the meal, but nothing to fantasize about like the early days of this place. They have the Lagavulin 16. Winner winner chicken dinner right there. Tullamore Dew was well would have made 5 stars. Service was good though. Professional. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And they have two pretty big TVs to watch sports on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ladies Flag Football baby. No one to revisit though like other establishments in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very light rock music in the background. But I'm here during the daytime. Great atmosphere for a sunny day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cool place, good food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can either dine inside or outside under their covered patio (more like an alley between buildings).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We enjoyed beers (nothing exotic on tap that I recall), good salad and a cheesesteak. Service was fine. read more

Maybe I tried the wrong things but I was underwhelmed. If I was just scoring the outside bar and the staff they would get five stars. The staff was very attentive but not annoying. They worked well together and made sure we were well taken care of. If you went to a restaurant just for the staff then this would get them five stars. But I don't come just for the staff or ambiance. I come to restaurants for the food and with a limited budget I want value and quality for our money. When we go to a place we haven't tried before I like to try sampler plates or try smaller portions of more items to learn what they are good at. Most BBQ joints have a sampler platter but there wasn't one on the menu. I asked about it and they said it was common to get smaller portions of the proteins as a combo (again not on the menu) but if you do it, doesn't come with the bread or the side even though the price is a bit more. You get to choose three meats. Ok I ordered the sausage, burnt ends, pork belly and a side of fries. The sausage was very good, thank you. The pork belly was a very small portion and fattier than I've had before, sweetened and too salty. The burnt ends were bad, I couldn't even finish them. Perhaps the worst burnt ends I've ever had. Very salty, I mean way too much salt. greasy, truly burnt not just the bark and meat like most burnt ends, and the sauce wasn't very good either. I was really disappointed. The fries were great, I would come here just for those. My wife ordered the turkey pot pie which was small and dry. She asked for some gravy on the side which they promptly got out. She indicated it was very good gravy. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We stopped by Harry's BBQ for trivia night and had a great time , the atmosphere was fun and the service was excellent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, which really added to the experience. I ordered the wings and a Texas Twinkie. Unfortunately, the wings were overcooked and some were burnt, which took away from the meal. The highlight was definitely the Alabama white sauce , absolutely delicious and the best part of the dish. The Texas Twinkie was tasty, but I wish it had more brisket. It was very heavy on the cream cheese and light on the meat, which made it feel a bit unbalanced. Overall, great vibes, fun trivia night, and wonderful service, but the food was hit or miss. I'd come back for the atmosphere and give it another try. read more

We got the pork rinds and queso for an app and they were quite good. We tried the burnt ends, pulled pork and smoked sausage platters. The main complaint we had was that pulled pork was way over sauced and you couldn't taste the smoked flavor. The smoked sausage didn't have a good flavor from what how it is seasoned when raw. The Mac and cheese was quite good, baked beans a bit too spicy and the seasonal veg was a sweet potato has that was different and very good. The side of buttered and grilled Hawaiian rolls were delicious. read more

Had lunch at Harry's BBQ on Saturday with friends, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere was the biggest drawback. The music--loud rage-style--was overwhelming both indoors and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We asked several times for it to be turned down but were told the bartender controlled it, which made it hard to enjoy our meal or conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was mixed: the Fig & Pig pizza had a great crispy crust (could use more meat), but my husband's grilled chicken sandwich was pretty bland with no grill flavor. Service was efficient, but [[HIGHLIGHT]]the vibe just wasn't for us. We'd consider coming back if the music/volume changes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Second time I've been to the outdoor bar and I have to say it's my favorite in downtown New Bern. Love the greenery and the couches.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The cocktails are delicious and change seasonally which I appreciate. Updating since I've ordered food. The ramen is delicious. The pickled egg and vinegar based slaw off set the richness of the broth. I also tried the beef sandwich and corn pudding which was incredible. The pickles taste homemade and the beef was tender. The corn pudding was like the best kind you get at Thanksgiving. read more

Wow. Please see reviews on Yelp. My drink was sweet and weak. Terrible mojito with cucumber. Couldn't imagine there was tequila in it so I asked the bartender for a shot in it. The $12 dollar drink became $18. We asked the bartender because our waitress was MIA. I ordered the burnt ends for lunch with baked beans. My husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich. This is the good part, my husbands sandwich was okay. He did want a beer though so again we had to hunt down another waitress to get a beer. My lunch was inedible. It was like warm ends, so very salty I could not eat them. Swimming in barb b que sauce. I literally had to wipe each bite down with my napkin until I gave up. The beans were sweet sticky mess. The bartender, waitress and hostess could not have paid less attention if they tried. I didn't eat my lunch. Couldn't drink my drink. My husband had to try to get a beer. The upside was the good fries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Oh and they had four condiment bottles on the table. They were gross dirty. Not sure when they were cleaned.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I left with a belly ache, a large bill and a feeling I would never even try again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wow. This place could be awesome. Awesome space and an opportunity for great barb b Q. But it seriously feels like no one here cares. Terrible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Delicious food. A little in the pricey side. I had the beef brisket, Saturday special and my husband had the pulled pork sandwich. It's right in the middle of town so it was a little challenging parking our 2500 HD. We would eat here again. read more

We are new in town and just tried this place for the first time. We saw a sign outside that said game day specials, $6 mix well drinks. We thought cool let's do it! We both order a couple margaritas and specified well alcohol to our waitress and then get the bill and they are full price and not $6 each. We asked our waitress and she said ohhhh sorry margaritas aren't a part of the special. So are we just supposed to guess what cocktails are on the mix well drinks list??? A margarita is a cocktail aka a mixed drink by definition. Every table had one of these signs with the specials and no actual List of what drinks qualified. Super disappointed in the staff and we feel lied to. This is false advertising and is really messed up. We definitely won't be coming here again. Save yourself the headache and go to a spot that doesn't have to bamboozle you to make $. read more

I ordered a Cobb salad with no smoked turkey and a pulled pork sandwich with a side of pulse on baked beans. I plan to eat the salad today and save the other for lunch at work tomorrow. The salad was so disgusting. Some of the lettuce was mushy like it was rotten. avocados had already turned brown. Based off of how disgusting the salad was, I was scared to eat the other food and threw it all the way. $48 down the drain! read more

Small portions for what you pay and get. Not much on service either. Maybe they will improve.

We came in late to eat tonight after a softball game and even though we came at 9:40 pm we were greeted with smiles and a warm welcome. We ordered the garlic Parmesan wings and their Thai chili wings both of which were out of this WORLD. Literally, the best wings in all of New Bern. But the pickled veggies that come with the wings... amazing!! It was cold tonight, so we ordered the ramen and I am here to tell say, don't sleep on this American fusion Ramen. It was amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe and whole setting of this venue has always been one of my favorites in town as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This local spot was recommended, and I am happy I stopped in. They have indoor and outdoor seating with a great feel. There was music tonight, and it was just what I needed. The people were friendly, I had a great drink and an amazing fried artichoke appetizer. I selected the Windy City pizza. Flavorful with a great crust. I had a slice for lunch the next day, and it's still great. I have found another great restaurant in Historic downtown. read more

wanted to try their burnt ends as they were out the first time there. Just moved here from Wilmington where I always got good burnt ends. Took out of town guest to Harry''s last Thursday night and had worst meal possible. All 3 of us got burnt ends and baked beans. The ends were so tough that you could hardly cut them with a sharp knife and the beans were way under cooked. I will not go back as there are too many good restaurants in New Bern. BTW, this is the first time I've ever written a review. read more

Popped in here on an early Saturday evening and even though it was crowded we managed to get a seat at the bar outside. We had amazing service throughout our entire stay. They have some inventive cocktails that taste great. We had their Old Fashioned which also includes mezcal for some smokiness. The black walnut bitters which I don't usually prefer was actually the perfect addition to this cocktail, would order it again in a heartbeat. Last but not least, the pizza is worth a visit alone. We ordered the tomato pie (added meatballs) and the crust was perfectly charred in spots. I typically don't eat the pizza crust but we demolished this pizza, the toppings were fresh and delicious. The atmosphere outside was lively and there was even a musician setting up. Will likely pop in here next time we are in town, and will definitely be taking a pizza to go! read more

My family and I are from out of town and tried Stopped in on a whim to grab some food to go--and we're so glad we did! The food was excellent. The pulled pork had great flavor; if I'm being picky, it was a touch on the dry side, but still very tasty. The pickled sides were a perfect complement. The mac and cheese was super good--creamy and flavorful. We also tried the wings with Alabama white sauce and really enjoyed them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem downtown.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll definitely be back! read more

My boyfriend and I came here around 10:00 pm on a Sunday night after a long day out. We were in the mood for some wings and pizza, so we did a quick Yelp search and stumbled across Harry's BBQ. To say this place nailed and satiated our cravings would be a grave understatement. If I could give this establishment a 10/5 stars I would! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and genuine welcome. Our waiter Tyler truly elevated our meal to an unforgettable experience. He went above and beyond with his service, always keeping our drinks filled to the top, making sure we never ran out of sauce or napkins, and anticipated every single one of our needs. This gentleman is a true industry expert in customer service and would be an asset to any company. Tyler was not only incredibly attentive and personable, but he also displayed an impressive knowledge of the menu. He guided us through our choices with insightful recommendations to give us the amount of spice, heat, and flavor we were looking for in a wing sauce/rub. Tylers enthusiasm and professionalism for his job was clearly evident, and he made us feel like valued guests throughout the entirety of our meal. Now, let's talk about the food. Every bite was a revelation. The wings and chopped salad were both masterpieces of flavor and presentation. The freshness of the ingredients and the skillful preparation were evident in each dish we had the pleasure of trying. Potter's Wife pizza was a standout, showcasing a perfect balance of flavors and textures that left us raving about it long after the meal was over. The savory flavors from the garlic and cheese balanced beautifully with the sweetness from the honey. Tyler generously brought us a myriad of sauces to sample before making our final selection of wings. We ended up choosing the garlic parmesan and the dry rub, both of which were absolutely mouth watering!! The quality of the chicken blew our expectations out of the water. We've never had wings before that tasted this fresh and authentic! Harry's BBQ sure sets the standard on quality of ingredients. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance of the restaurant further enhanced the experience--think speakeasy vibes that are comfortable, inviting and appealing to everyone. The outside dining area was the perfect setting for an enjoyable evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's clear that Harry's pays meticulous attention to both their service and culinary offerings. In summary, Tyler's exceptional service plus the remarkable quality of the food made this dining experience truly special. I can't recommend Harry's BBQ highly enough and am already looking forward to my next visit so we can treat our taste buds to the richness of the BBQ menu. Bravo to the entire team for delivering such an outstanding experience! Thank you from us California visitors :) read more

We had a great experience! The food was delicious and came out quickly, but what really made our night was our server, Katie. She was incredibly kind and patient with my family, and her warmth truly elevated the whole visit. You can have good food anywhere, but good food and outstanding service is something special. Katie made this restaurant amazing. read more

I loved the food, but the prices to portions wasn't my favorite good bbq but I don't think I'll be back because nothing has called my name since we went twice a few months ago! Great service though.

Great pizza. I know that's weird. The BBQ is so so. They're trying maybe they just need a little more time.

Went this week, ribs were dry, and super salty, drinks never came. I asked a different waitress if she could help, she said she had quit 5 days ago and management was horrible and food was getting a lot of complaints. The manager came over, tried the ribs and said they were salty too. We also got a pizza which as undercooked, light on sauce and just looked like crap. We never even got our drinks until right before we left. They gave us our pizza and my ribs for free and tried giving us a gift card but we refused. This place was good but in the last year has definitely gone down hill. Won't be going again. read more

Vegetables were better than the bbq..Hated to write this review as I currently travel 45 minutes to get to good bbq. So, they are pushing the order yourself from a qr code that brings up a menu you chose from and then submit, place in your cart, then pay. Staff are a solid 4. Atmosphere is just an open room if inside and could get noisy if you have a fair amount of people. Now the food. Poutine was our extra, not starter or appetizer. It was a little salty for me but good flavor. I did not care for the slaw but my partner in food did. We ordered The 3 meat platter that came out kinda Luke warm. Started with the pork belly that was very tuff. Flavor of the meat was overpowered by the carolina gold sauce that's baked into it. Pulled pork was dry. I guess that's why they offer up the sauces. Should not need it. I also would say that you can taste fresh pulled pork and this had none of it. Again, lots of sauces to make up for it. Sausage was like store bought meats. I've found that real, homemade sausage is not as dense as store bought. This was very dense. Flavor was ok. Corn pudding was more like a corn casserole that was not fully baked. Corn pudding is more flour based and this was more corn mix. Kinda gritty but good flavor. Partner had the braised greens, collards. They were good to her. All in All, ok. Hope others have a better experience than us. Best of luck and thanks for having us. read more

The ambiance inside Harry's Blind Tiger is very cool and modern. They have good outside and inside seating. The drinks were good and they were able to make a mock tail for my friend. Our waiter was very nice but unfortunately the two people who ordered pizzas in our party got their dinner about 10-12 minutes after the other people were served. Additionally, the pizza was a bit burnt and hard. Otherwise, this was a nice place. read more

Excellent service and food! So much of the food is hand crafted and made in-house. Our server gave great descriptions of the food and was able to answer all of our questions, showing herself extremely well versed in the menu, able to articulate how the food is made, and could also describe the flavor profile of all of the in-house sauces they offer. The environment is casual/comfort offering both indoor and outdoor seating options. read more

Our server was great, engaging and prompt. I got a caipirinha- my favoritest drink EVER, so automatic 4 stars right there. We ordered the spicy pepperoni pizza and LOL. The crust was good but half of it was almost intolerably salty and it is not a stretch to say I think there was like, 8 pepperoni on the whole pizza - there were multiple slices that didnt even have a single pepperoni. read more

I don't get it. NC is known for great BBQ. So why is it so hard to find? I won't say Harry's BBQ was bad. Just unremarkable. Your own done at home in the oven likely better. Plus, the plate was dominated by a slice of some weird bread that wasn't very good. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Walked by here the night before. It's was a happening place live music and packed![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We decided to give it a try. Needless to say I was a bit disappointed. Service was super slow. We ordered a simple cheese pizza and it was very blah. We also sat at the bar and the bar tender was rude and it seemed like we were a burden. We've had such great experiences at many of the local eateries and this one was the worst! Sorry Harry but your restaurant definitely needs a course on customer service. read more

I got 1 pound of ribs and corn pudding to go. The barbecue was not a bad flavor just way over cooked. Even the bones were falling apart and you could eat them. The corn bread pudding, again good flavor, but more of a crumbly cornbread instead of a pudding. This is the second time I was not necessarily impressed, but since I live in town, I will probably try them again for something else. And there are very few barbecue places in town. Service was great. read more
