OH man. Harry's burgers are super juicy.. These guys definitely make one of the best burgers in Toronto, and they have an awesome casual rocknroll atmosphere. If you're not watching your calories, definitely try one of the burgers. They're not the biggest, but they're perfectly sized for a satisfying meal. I need to head back some time soon. Also, they can get pretty busy. read more

Do not come here. I came here tonight and asked if it was seat yourself. They said "no go wait over there" and pointed to the door. I said "ok thanks." And then stood at the door for 3 mins. Then a woman came over and said "there's a table in the back" without making eye contact. I'd rather eat a cigarette that I found on Bathurst than talk to this woman ever again. I've never felt so unwanted and I'm an orphan. 2 stars cause they'd probably take down my 1 star. read more

This is a nice hidden spot, open late, cash only. I had the big jane burger and didn't think much of it. The fries were not great (big, kinda soggy, oily). It also seemed quite expensive. However, the green chorizo burger was very good and different; I definitely recommend that one. Service was a bit rude, with vibes of "this place is not for you, get lost." So yeah, don't just wander into here, I guess you gotta be invited. read more

An affront to the good name of Harry's For people native to Parkdale Harry's was one of the last remnants of the way things were: greasy, grimy and good hearted. The new Harry's keeps the grease and grimy (ironically) but the heartless hinds that have taken over are doing the place a disserve. Frustratingly long waits to get service even in the off hours, soaked in oil and under cooked home fries, the worst scrambled eggs I've ever been served, and a baffling removal of the debit machine are all on the menu. The sausage was good, a lone redeeming quality read more

One of the best place to grab a burger in downtown TO. The location is very low key and hidden behind some building so you will not find place walking on the Parkdale without looking for it. Don't get fooled by interior that looks like you're back in late 80s-early 90s and scary looking regulars - the burgers that I like the most is 'Plain Jane' and it's very, very good - with sizzling patty and old-fashioned bun that's toasted to perfection. Old fashioned thick cut fries are also very fresh and crispy. Love how they put the whole thing in red plastic basket too. It's very close to where I work so this place has became a regular lunch burger spot. read more

I have lived in Parkdale for over 30 years and have seen the changes (some good, some bad). I live down the street and frequented Harry's. It was a super friendly and cheap place where you could throw some quarters in the jukebox and listen to some tunes (beer was under $4 and you could have that along with a burger and fries for about $12). I always had enough money to buy the regulars a couple of drinks. This place has transformed into another gentrified burger joint where a beer, simple burger (I'm talking patties and some cheese) and fries will NOW cost you $26.20 (CASH - yes my friends, cash only)! There are other options in the area that truly continue to support the spirit of Parkdale. In my opinion this is NOT one of them! read more

When I moved this was my fave local place to go. In the 8 months I've been in the hood though it's become my least fave. Prices have skyrocketed and the quality has not. Used to be open always and now hours are unpredictable. It's hit or miss with the food. Will probably hit it again but hope it won't be a miss. So many other options around I won't miss it lol read more

When Harry's first re-opened I was excited to have a Grant Van Gameren option within a couple blocks walking distance. The first time we went in was not long after they opened - service was slow and there were a couple of young Asian girls, hired by the restaurant, ludicrously photographing basically every item on the menu as the kitchen prepared and brought it out sequentially, for Instagram. That was definitely a harbinger... In the first 6 months or so, it was just your typical hipster faux-dive with decently satisfying burgers, if nothing special. After that we showed up one evening for dinner and suddenly the burgers were about half the size and at least 30% more expensive. Completely unjustifiable. Especially since they are obviously not doing much with the place with the extra money. The booth seats are still all torn up and duct taped together. Don't go there very often anymore because of the tiny thumbelina-sized burgers for ~$15, just once in a blue moon or if we happen to catch their monthly 2-4-1 rent day special. read more

Better hurry if you want to taste the best burgers in TO as Harry's is closing next month. Even the infamous Banquet burger can't compete with another new condo development but I suppose after making burgers for 50 years it's probably time to relax! Well played Harry ...... read more

I found the place to be really really dirty. There's diner charm then there is filth. The French fries were nothing more than beefsteak frozen MaCain fries. Awful. The food prices are very high and the menu selection is small. I won't be returning. Plenty of great breakfast joints in parkdale to choose from. read more

The first time I went it was really good, last night was spectacular. Yes I'm using the word spectacular to describe a cheeseburger. Okay, banquet burger :D Crispy bun, meat was cooked perfectly, giant slathering of delicious cheese, spicy ketchup (I think??), tangy pickles, fries and gravy...(my mouth is literally watering right now). This place has kept its parkdale feel but now full of hipsters...which is no prob as the food is legit and vibe is chill and beers are cold. Check 'er out. Oh ya...and cash only! read more

Terrible service. I had to walk around looking for a employee to take my order and found one sitting down with customers, but she directed me away to someone else. I finally got to order my burger . It came lumped on top of a handful of lousy fries. I was not given any utensils to eat with.And to top it off , they only take cash! Plus way overpriced for a dive bar. read more

Great burger, seasoned to perfection and served piping hot. Thick yet amazingly crunchy fries. They used to be open for lunch on weekdays, however now they only open at 5:00, which is a bummer. I loved hitting up that burger for lunch on a day off, or when friends are in town. This is one of the best burgers you'll ever have, I just took off a star for their lame new hours and the fact that it's cash only, which is always inconvenient. read more

I stopped in for lunch here last weekend after walking/driving past this place for the past two months. There's very little in this immediate area so I felt that a pop-in was required. The space is small and very dated, but these types of surroundings do not put me off and can add to the charm of certain restaurants if done properly, which Harry's does. The staff at Harry's were always in motion, whether it be taking orders, refilling water, running dishes or making orders. Regulars lined the bar at lunch while I was there with my girlfriend and with bottles at around $4 and 12 oz draft at $3 it's not hard to understand why. I ordered the hot chicken sandwich that came with fries and veggies while my girlfriend ordered a cheeseburger and fries. Both plates came out quickly and were piping hot. After we left, I remarked to my girlfriend that the meal I had, while hot and well prepared, lacked any real lasting flavour impressions. She told me that she felt the exact same way about her cheeseburger. So, if you're in the area then I would recommend checking it out for the surroundings and maybe you'll happen to pick a better menu item than we did. We'll likely be back for another crack at it. read more

Plain Jane with fries well. Soooooo tastey. Great atmosphere and friendly staff too. Sit by the griddle for some added entertainment. They have a pretty well-stocked bar as well. Blue light at 1 a.m. Burger and fries at Harry's: Bomb-ass cheeseburgers read more

What a great little spot. Good food, good service. Really enjoyed my lunch and Harry's. Will definitely be back.

Idky but I love it in there. Real authentic dinner tucked away in pk. Probably one of the only left standing in this area. Food is also good I normally get breakfast. Prices are amazing, the older lady who I think is the owners wife is the cutest. Super friendly the people inside are sometimes colourful. Highly recommended if u love hole in the wall greasy spoons. :) read more

This place is so good! Walking in it was definitely not what I expected. Decor makes you think your creepy uncle frequents the place -- and he probably does. Menu is small and pretty straight forward. I got a plain jane burger and my boyfriend got the Big Jane burger. I thought my burger was amazing and my boyfriend was really happy with his as well. Definitely a new place to consider whenever I'm craving a burger. Will be back for sure! read more

Harry's Char Broil & Dining Lounge After serving Parkdale for 48 years they finally closed the doors today. Can't say enough good things about the PETROPOULOS family, they served the community like family. May they all live long and enjoy their retirement. read more

I finally visited Harry's for the first time a few weeks ago and honestly, I've been craving going back ever since. Its not just the delicious grilled cheese (melty processed cheese and jalapenos on white bread with a crispy grilled exterior and some sort of yummy flavour dusting). Its not just the perfect french fries. Its not just the classic caesar. Its not just the fact that they have Hellman's mayo on the table along with the Ketchup and mustard. Its not just that some of the table tops are made of beer bottle caps embedded in resin. Its not just the colourful lights in the slightly dimly-lit room. Its not just the fact that this place feels like its been there forever and belongs to so many people but also it's yours for a hour. Its all those things. Its getting colder and darker outside right now and places like Harry's feel like the perfect place to hibernate and hide with your friends over a meal. read more

Absolutely fabulous hole in the wall hamburger joint. Food and service were great. Ordered the plain Jane. A new favorite! read more

The burgers are smashed on the flat top just like everyone else does these days. I wanted an old fashioned charbroiled burger. Apparently they are virtually extinct. The burger here was okay, but no different then the hundred other places that offer the same. read more

This is the perfect place for breakfast. Homefry potatoes show how much they care. Classic breakfast done right. Merci beaucoup.

I'm sorry but $7.50 for a milkshake? And the gravy that came with the fries was literally the worst gravy I've ever had in my life. It was just thickened brown water, had no taste. And I don't think its right to call yourself charbroiled if you don't actually use a charbroiler. These are just regular flat top griddle burgers. Not worth the price. They took a parkdale institution and full on yuppied it. Who else could pay $30 for a lunch? read more

It's good and their burgers are delicious but I only go during rent week because their prices are too High.

Sad to say. Harry's closed on 29 June. The sign says that the new owners will reopen but not when. Looking for a new place to eat now.

My friends and I had been itching to try this place for a while and finally popped in last night for some food and drinks. What a blast! It looks a little suspect from the outside, but Harry's has it all. Super faded artwork, harsh fluorescent lighting, scary looking regulars and 60's old diner booths, each with its very own personal (non functioning) wall-mounted jukebox. The beer was cheap, the staff were great and the food was exactly what you'd expect from and old-school greasy spoon. I had the cheeseburger with the works, and my friends had the grilled cheese with fries 'n' gravy. Everything was damn tasty and reasonably priced. Apparently the fried chicken and milkshakes are fantastic, so I'll have to try them out next time. If I had one complaint it would be that it's a little too quiet, they need to get those jukeboxes working, as well as the sit-down Pac Man (!!) game that now serves as a TV stand. Just one note to Shyni Y above: there are two entrances. One in the alley by the no frills and the other, main entrance is right on Springhurst, hence the address. read more

This place retained a lot of the good things about the original Harry's when it first opened, and their burgers are great, but the prices have gone up every couple of months, nearly tripling in just over a year. Their old neighborhood customer base can no longer afford to eat there, and now it seems they don't even pick up their phone for takeout orders. There's something quite unsettling, or at least disappointing, about a place that has gone upmarket but kept the shell of the original. read more

This isn't really the type of place you come because you feel like being blown away by your breakfast. It's dingy, dark, a little shady, but it's got character and a kickass soundtrack. The breakfast is fine, the coffee is ok and the beer is cold. If I could eat a greasy breakfast here every morning, I would. read more

Breakfast burger and corn beef hash are a must! The best fries!!! Get the gravy and dunk your burger. Love this little gem. Don't forget to bring your cash. read more

Came here with friends. Looked up the menu online ahead of time to see if they had veg options. Their eggplant parmesan sandiwch has a vegan option. They didn't know whether their bun was vegan and offered me eggplant with tomato sauce as their vegan option. Came with a caesar salad with white dressing and crouton crumbs, didn't bother with that since the staff seemed unprepared for something they advertise on their website and menu. 13.50 for soggy eggplant tomato much and a not vegan salad for their vegan option. Pretty pathetic. And they only take cash. Their ATM needed to be rebooted to take out money. Won't be back. read more

Had dinner here lastnight with a couple of gf's. OMG the food is delicious had the beef deep sandwich with a chocolate milkshake and then the best blueberry pie I've ever had for dessert. I would definitely come back here again! The server was awesome. Place is very laid back love the kitch decore all in all a great dining experience!!!!! read more

Great spot. Vanilla milkshake was great, club sandwich was tight, and they serve OV.

As Parkdale goes more and more upscale places like this one become special. The foods not the best but its cheap. The beer selection is limited, but its cheap AND COLD. The regulars all look like extras from the movie Barfly or Trees Lounge but they won't bother you. There's a TV where you can watch CP24 and a jukebox that will play a random song every 10 minutes or so. What else do you really need from a place? If you need more than Harry's has to offer then I'm sure there's room for you at the back of the line over at grand electric read more

I love this place! The service is mostly on point. Some servers are more attentive than others but I've never had poor service. The staff are very friendly people! I've never had a disappointing meal here and I am a regular. My boyfriend and I often come here to have a drink and share some fries. The brunch menu is delicious and the red burger is my personal fave! The only downside is it's cash only but they supply at ATM in the restaurant for those who don't normally pay with cash. Come here for a dive bar vibe with awesome music, tasty eats and friendly service! read more

You made my husband's life better. Actually, you made everything better. $20 after 10 PM special... and quite possibly the best burger in the city! read more

Recently raised prices on I think every item, some 50% (gravy), 20%+ burgers, 20%+ cocktails. Pretty steep jump for a menu that was only a year old. Yes, I'm aware minimum wage went up January 1st, but did you're overall costs jump in line with labour increase? Very doubtful. read more

Love the vibe and food in this place! If you dig AOR served with beers and burgers this is the spot. Lovely staff and it's tucked away behind an alley so it's still a little hidden and not so known. Get the plain jane burger or if you are hungrier get the Banquet..Hit up Harper's Pharmacy down the street for drinks after. Save Parkdale from the vegans haha read more

I went to Harry's Thursday, April 27th after months of curiosity about this tucked away, old-school 'Char-broiled' burger joint- it put me in mind of independent burger joints where my Dad would pick up burgers and fries for the family when we were kids. I was not disappointed. Oh, my God. Chef Nate prepared fresh for me the BEST burger and chip shop fries I have ever had. That is not hyperbole, my Son. A tasty, juicy affair with bacon, cheese, JUST the right amount of hot peppers and a sauce that may just cure wounds. I appreciated the freshness of their offerings, and the good nature of chef Nate and his cast of competent, friendly co-chefs/staff. Attend: it was not cheap. But it was cheaper than McDonald's (I make the comparison ONLY because I bought a Filet-O-Fish® combo the week before for close to 13 bucks and was hungry again an hour later) ...and I cannot recommend you try these guys out more. The burgers are NOT huge- but they are satisfying beyond measure and you will be supporting a business that gives a s@@@. True craft should cost a bit more than crap. If calories weren't an issue I would go every day. By all means, gibbem a try. read more

The burgers are great here. Especially the pineapple burger. Sounds strange but it actually tastes great! The fries are thick-cut fries and really tasty. It's a little tricky to find but well worth it. read more
