My husband just came home with the most delicious food today. He brought me a pork souvlaki dinner. The pork was the best I've ever eaten. I will definitely be a repeat customer. My husband said the service was good but he's a man of few words lol. As for the Ambiance it NA today. read more

Chicken souvlaki on a bun was amazing. Better the Kathy's grill. Their burgers are great too! read more

rip off . look at there store window advertising prices and compare this with the menu sign indoors. as/ advertising the homeburger combo is $9.75 plus tax = $11. when u go inside to order suddenly its only $10.60 plus tax. so beware of deceptive pricing I know its far away better choice is Square Boys burger, they don t deceive read more

I tried this place for the first time today, after years of passing by it on my way to work. I had read a few good things about it on Google Maps and thought I'd give it a try. I decided to try the homemade burger combo which came out to be $10.10 which I thought was okkkk considering that kind of the price you'd be getting a fast food chain burger place anyways. In the combo, you get a large burger, a good amount of fries and a can of pop. After seeing how massive this burger was, I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was too. I really liked that is was a thick charbroiled burger patty, and it definitely showed in the taste. PROS: - family run local burger joint with old school charm - Friendly and fast service - The homemade burger is huge! It's hard to finish - They fries was fresh and they don't put any salt, pepper or any toppings to accommodate the customer which I thought was a nice touch. They have the salt, pepper and vinegars off to the side to add yourself. CONS: - The pricing for the combo doesn't offer any discount If you add up the prices of each item individually, it comes out to be the exact same as if in a combo. - It might've been just today, but I could definitely tell they use the same fryer for battered fish as they do for the fries because the flavour definitely came through on the fries - The burger bun was a tad bit stale, it was cracking all over the place, but that might have to do with the fact that all the doors were open for ventilation. Overall, I had a pretty good experience and I'll probably come back in a little while for that homemade burger. read more

Love the Greek salad here, I haven't tried anything else tbh. Fresh veggies, lots of crumbled feta, and good price point! I hear the Greek fries are also good too. Overall 8/10 would recommend read more

Sometimes the olde fashion way is the best way. Harry's Drive in, is one of those places scattered throughout the area that is ubiquitous to the old days of Scarborough. History, small quarters, friendly great staff, straightforward menu, simple good food .... and cash only -_-. Your typical varieties from burgers to souvlaki dinners. Fresh meat and ingredients. I typically order the Chicken Souvlaki Dinner, minus the lettuce in the salad. Nothing fancy just good food with good portion size. Fills you up for the entire day. The grilled chicken looks greasy in the picture but its just salad dressing. No potatoes and rice, you get fries instead. Overall would recommend it. The only con I have is the lack of debit/credit, you can hate me all you want but I sold my soul to Google and the way of Plastic. Then again one workaround is ordering via UberEats. Good local food. read more

I decided to try this place because it had the small business look and feel, a testament to my parents who owned & operated a restaurant for 27 years. Upon entering, a young lady greeted me and asked if I knew what I wanted, while she was wrapping up the order for another customer. That gave the cooks a head start on grilling or preparing my order. I saw a sign at the cash register with a few specials and I immediately honed in on the Homemade Burger Combo $8.95 as a can't go wrong choice. Maybe the outside sign that said "Homemade Hamburgers" was a subliminal thought that was planted already! Well, the choice of toppings were fresh and the bun seemed to make the whole homemade burger taste phenomenal. Wow!!! The fries were crispy and I selected a can of Coke Zero as my drink. I was able to enjoy the meal on the patio even with heavy traffic buzzing by. Great customer service and a fantastic meal for $10.10 taxes in. I will return to sample other items! read more

This is your classic mom and pop local neighbourhood restaurant. It's cash only so just be aware of that although there is an atm on site. Most of the items on the menu are under $10. I tried the poutine which comes to about $6 with tax. The portion is pretty good for the price and they actually use cheddar instead of cheese curds. Fries were crispy and gravy had great flavour. Not something i would necessarily go out of my way for but you can never go wrong with supporting a small business when you're in the area. read more

Harry's Drive-In - poutine - Burgers Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Quick service and delicious! Friendly and straightforward. They cook right there and some seating too.

New owners. Nothing like it was. They changed the bun the onion rings and the meat. Ruined a good thing !!

Great family owned place! I've been coming here since 2001 and the food hasn't changed at all. The family who owns the place love what they do and always greet us when my family and I walk in. When your here make sure you try their Greek fries! It's a "Greek twist" to the traditional poutine. It's something that your going to be coming back for! Other than that, their chicken/pork dinners are excellent and also very filling. This place has been up and running successfully for so long just by word of mouth. Not many reviews on yelp but every time I come here the place is almost full of customers! read more

This has been my go to during the pandemic and I have always been happy. Until today. I ordered the onion rings which I always do and today I got them and they were the frozen kind. I was so disappointed. They were not the big chewy kind I am used to. Shame on you Harry for changing this up. It was the reason I kept going back. Not anymore read more

The price of the food is unbeatable and the food is very good. On top of that the people working there are really friendly and polite.

Cheap but very bland-tasting burgers.. The woman at the cash looked really miserable today. Service was quick, food is prepared quickly. The bun is huuuge compared to the patty. When I bit into the burger I found it pretty tasteless. Should've just had Harvey's next door. Not coming back here.. Next!! Review 47 of 100 read more

The grill cook this time around was ironically named "Johnny" like what most other Burger Joints are named after, however this place is called Harry's Drive-in where it's one of the tiny places with barstool counter seating and on a nice day there are 4 outdoor tables in the front. I parked my car beside a few Light-sized Trucks as I followed a few rugged men inside this small place to order their Combo(Burger, Fries & Drink, $5.95) which is reasonable value for a grilled burger patty that didn't have as much frozen taste as other places. As for the Bun? I think the photo will give you a good indication. Fries are A-OK also and what is different is that your beverage comes in Can form instead of Fountain drink. The elder women that took care of the orders and condiments and the elder men that had the cooking duties made this place feel of Mom & Pop. read more

This is a great place to get affordable, home style grub. I ordered the 7-ounce burger, which was wide and on the flat side. The burger bread was just the right size for the burger. You can use two hands to hold the burger. All this for $4.40 plus tax. I also ordered the poutine, which isn't presented the traditional way, nonetheless, it was tasty and satisfying. The poutine was made out of shredded cheddar cheese, gravy and pre-cut fries. For the quantity provided, it was a great steal. This burger joint has a patio, which is great for casual summer dining. Nothing fancy here, just good food at affordable prices! read more

You rarely see a small family owned restaurant last as long as this one. Harry's opened in 1964. For that alone they get a five star rating from me. Every so often, I get a craving for onion rings and nobody does onion rings better than Harry's. The batter is crispy and the onions are cut thick. They are consistently good. But their burgers, souvlaki, and steak on a bun are great too. Just good old fashioned standbys that everyone loves at a price you can't beat. I guess that's how they've stood the test of time. When you have a good thing, you don't mess with it! Oh btw, just to add to their old-school charm, they accept cash only. I hope Harry's Drive In stays exactly the same for many years to come! read more

Was planning to re-visit The Fuzz Box. Got there by 6:30, and turns out it was already closed. Ended up going to this burger place that I learned here. Welcomed by the lady at the cashier, nice and friendly. Same with the other one cooking at the back. Ordered the 7oz home burger. Tasted ok....nothing special about it. Got the poutine too. The gravy is good, but they used cheddar cheese instead. Total comes up to $10.10......fair. Repeat?.....unless Johnny's and The Real Macory were both closed. PS. while waiting....I realized that the Pizza Nova restaurant is still there. The last time I was there is maybe the early 90's.....wow. read more

We stopped by for a burger and fries (my spouse) and onion rings (me). We also added a milk shake. My order: Double burger with cheese. The patties were a decent size and for the soft toasted bun this was a perfect combo. The onion rings were very good however, sadly I might have asked for a large - had this been on the menu. The toppings are limited but cover the basics: Ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, pickles and mayo (if you want it). Unlike many places Harry's does not salt your fries. My wife appreciates this very much. My wife found the bun a bit much for a single patty. The milkshake like the onion rings was very good but a large size would have been preferable. The place offers reasonably priced combos for those not wanting to break the bank for lunch or dinner. Tips: 1 - Bring cash. No debit or credit cards accepted 2 - Park at the rear as reversing out at the side can be perilous. read more

Sunday June 30th I just bought a home made burger which I usually get there but today it was cold & greasy which I believe was made ahead of time. I usually have to wait at least ten minutes for them to grill it, but today they had it ready in less than five minutes .I can tell by the taste it was not freshly made . Disappointed . I won't go back. Mary C read more

I wish I took a picture of the burger and cheese poutine I ordered but they were too good to wait! Plus the burger's meat juices were oozing out slowly from the wrapper so time was of the essence! The burger patty, OF COURSE, is bigger than your fast food chain burger like McDs but I guess it could compare to the size of an Angus patty? Anyway, point is, juicy, yummy and filling. Enough said. I tried this place at the suggestion of my friend while we were driving around and looking for a good place to have a quick, filling bite. I was not disappointed here. Me, being a big eater (and sometimes having my eyes bigger than my stomach, whatever the saying is) I also ordered the cheese poutine. Hey, I'm not around this area of the city often so I got to try the fries too in order to get a better perspective of this place and write this proper, objective and fair review! ;P back to the cheese poutine...it was CHEESY indeed and covered at the top with tons of melted marble cheese!!! YUUUUM! The gravy was all lathered throughout too...perhaps a bit too much making it a tad salty but I have a solution! Have it on the side instead so you can adjust the amount or possibly request for less gravy? It's also too bad they weren't able to put the cheese in layers/throughout the poutine so that you can enjoy the cheese even after eating the top layer. Needless to say, as good as it was, I was unable to finish the fries and had it the next day for lunch. It looks like a mom & pop kind of shop and the service was fast. We did come during a slower evening time with some rain so perhaps that is why? Regardless, everyone was friendly and polite. I am satisfied personally and in my stomach :) I will definitely return if I'm in the area again and want another burger. I'll be smarter this time to order just the burger unless I have someone to share the poutine with! read more

For all the "gourmet" burger establishments that have cropped up over the years, Harry's stands the test of time. Mind you, the burgers here would not be considered gourmet by so-called burger aficionados, but put any $12 blinged out burger in the ring with Harry's flagship homeburger ($6) and the bling will get knocked the eff out. Every. Single. Time. Harry's homeburgers go back to the fundamentals of burgery goodness: one well-seasoned homemade beef patty charbroiled on the grill, loads of fresh veg toppings and your standard condiments of ketchup, mustard, relish and mayo. No caramelized this or funky cheese that. Think of this of the grassroots burger that reminds you why you fell in love with burgers in the first place. Oh, and the homefries and gravy. I lived on these when I was in high school. Lunch cravings or post-volleyball practice hunger pains were satisfied by sprinting across Lawrence Ave. for a $2 plus tax box of freshly cooked, thick-cut homefries and thick gravy. I still think about those fries to this day and if ever I get an unrelenting craving for real fries, I'll make that trip out to Harry's for a box. It doesn't get better than Harry's homeburgers and homefries. read more

Exactly as advertised. I get the feeling that this is an honestly run family business. Nothing fancy, just straight ahead good food and friendly service. I had the banquet burger (homeburger with cheese and bacon), fries (I like them plain), and a strawberry shake. I'm leaving satisfied. Thank you to the good Yelpers for recommending this place. I wouldn't have found this little gem without you. Cheers, read more

Unfortunately they changed ingredients, shrunk portion sizes, and increased their prices. A few months ago this was an amazing place to eat. Whatever happened in the last month to change the taste and experience of their food, PLEASE change it back!!! read more

This place is a Scarborough burger, souvlaki & onion ring institution!! I was introduced to Harry's by some loyal, long-time neighbourhood boys who have been going here since their years in the playground. It probably looks almost exactly as it looked 25 years ago (maybe even longer!) The charm about this place is that it is OLD SKOOL and it will stay this way forever. Everyone that enters the doors have all known one another for years. And Peter, the dude that runs the grill, remembers every regular, and their orders. You can't find this kind of service anywhere these days, but it certainly still exists at Harry's! But let me tell you about the food... which is the real reason I've come back year after year. The onion rings are incomparable... everyone must try these at least once before they die. The breading is thick and so are the onion slices. I looove their souvlaki on a bun, or shish kebab dinner. Whenever you order their souvlaki or fries, get it with a few splashes of lemon sauce on top!!! I'm giving it four stars because as a drive through, there aren't many places to sit, especially in the winter months. It's also not the most healthiest something I eat on a regular basis. I don't even want to know how many calories are in one of those fried onion rings... drool... ! read more

Fries and gravy were fantastic! Had the fresh made homeburger and it was very good. It was a large patty and not too thick, cooked just right. At $4.50 that's a pretty hard deal to beat. Service was great, was greeted on the way in and thanked on the way out. They have a counter with stools inside and a few tables outside. Will definitely come back. read more

When I work late nights at work, I'll drop by Harry's. I'm unsure of their hours, but I usually reach here around 9:30ish and they are still open. Super cheap burgers, with one of the best poutines I've ever had! And the poutine is in a huge take out box, it's enough for 2 or 3 people! Totally worth the money! Cash only. A must try! read more

Came into Toronto May.27/21 to go to a dealership down the street from Harry's and went to get lunch and picked this spot. My sister ordered onion rings and one had jiffy cloth inside it or some kind of blue material. My sister went in to show them and this is what she comes out with....literally 2 onion rings. They literally put 2...just 2! onion rings in the fryer and gave that to her to make up for it. Are you freakin kidding me??!! AS IF! Definitely do not recommend. That's complete bullshit. read more

Good food, good value. If you want a decent cheap burger, Harry Drive in is the place but there are a few around like that (Johnny,Retro Burger). It's nothing special. The patties are pretty thin but the double burger isn't expensive and usually solve the issue with wanting more meat. It's not my favourite place but it still a good burger read more

We love this place! This burger is in my top 5, it's just a good old fashioned burger joint where you're not paying fine dining prices for a burger and fries. The homemade burger is a thin well seasoned 8 ounce patty on a perfectly soft bun that I overload with hot peppers, mustard and ketchup. And its only like $4.50 with tax! Definitely go in and grab a homemade with fries if you ever find yourself in the slums of scarborough. p.s. grab the purple drank while you're there. read more

Decent stuff, no complaints but nothing to make it stand out. If you ate looking at this while trying to pick between this and Harvey's though pick this place. More for takeout though, almost no seating. read more

My friend took me here yesterday, my first time. All I can say is good tasty food at a great price. The burger was solid, not the best I've ever had but very enjoyable, same with the greek salad, and I like how they have fresh salads here. A lot of burger places are strictly fries and onion rings for sides, and im trying to keep those out of my diet. I can't wait to go back and try a souvlaki dinner or gyros and a strawberry shake. The place has a nice cozy neighborhood feel to it as well. read more

I grew up eating Harry's and it was always good. Now with the new management it is absolute crap. It is dirty inside, and you have to wonder if they clean their cooking utensils. The food is greasy and never cooked properly. You ask for well done fries and they are complete mush. They are running this restaurant into the ground. If you enjoyed Harry's over a year ago, try Kathy's grill not to far from Harry's. It's what Harry's used to be read more
