    Justin the bartender is the bomb!

    Amazing service and food as always!, you can't pass up the Corvina! Great views and location!

    Harry's Old Place is a great combination of atmosphere and great food. This local seafood restaurant will cook your fish to order. They have fantastic specials and great drink options. We enjoyed the Corvina and Trout. The cheesy grits were absolutely amazing. Holman was our waiter and was very attentive and accommodating. We dined overlooking a beautiful lake.

    Friendly, efficient, helpful staff. Justin the bartender provided great service. The food was incredible. If I find myself on death row, I'm ordering my last meal from Harry's Old Place. A wide variety of fresh fish is available. We both ordered grouper. The fresh vegetable was green beans and they might have been picked this morning. Hush puppies were the best I've tasted. We sat at the bar and planned to move to the back with its view of the lake. But as the place filled, we chose to stay where we were. Good choice. I hope we pass this way again. I wouldn't hesitate to have dinner at Harry's. In fact we were disappointed we had to head home and couldn't come back the following night.

    Nicely updated restrooms!

    Has been a while, but we're back. The entrance is fresh and inviting. Nicely updated restrooms AND a hand-washing station is also available. Love that! Service was congenial and efficient. Super nice! The food is as good as we remembered. Sweet Tea in a giant Mason jar was fresh and crisp. Most folks won't need a refill. ;-) We can happily recommend the Tossed Salad with Blue Cheese Or Ranch dressing. Served cold and fresh - very nice. The Fried Shrimp and Oysters are still favorites. Nice, light batter and prepared well. Definitely consider these options! The Fried Catfish was 2 big filets. Wish the batter was a little lighter, but very good. We enjoyed the tartar sauce, too. Too full for dessert (again) but will try to plan better next time.

    We tried to call and make a reservation at Harry's because we were driving two hours to meet my wife's nephew and his wife were also driving two hours at Harry's cause it was exactly midpoint between Sarasota where we stay in Florida and their home in Florida so we wanted to be sure that we get in and get a table. Well as it worked out my wife's nephew Richard got there early and got us a table because they refused to take a reservation and the food was very good. I had a small salad and we shared an onion loaf for the table. My wife had their French onion soup. Richard had a fillet and my wife and I shared a piece of fish that was wonderful. We had it blackened. It came with mixed veggies and rice. Everything was good. I won't say that it was great, but everything was good however, when I finished the meal and I asked for a cup of coffee, the waitress said they had no coffee which I didn't understand and she tried to explain to me that their coffee maker left or something and I still didn't get it if it's a restaurant and it's an operation what does it take to go out and get a coffee maker anyway if they had a cup of coffee I would've given them five stars.

    This appears to be a local hangout. I adore all of the fresh fish options . I had the monkfish the favorite way with lemon and a side of butter. It was delicious. The chowder was a miss but the fish was delicious. Definitely stop as they have an array of different fish cooked anyway you like.

    Outdoor dining and a section of restaurant has view of lake.

    Went on a rainy Tuesday night around 5:40 and it was packed. Had to wait about 40 minutes for seating but worth the wait. A big draw for retirees - so go for a later dinner If you don't want to wait as long. We tried the gator and pork sausage appetizer plus pimiento cheese and crackers. A little pricey, but a fun unique choice. My husband had the strip steak and it was very tender. I had haddock and key lime pie to go. The hush puppies were my favorite - as far as tasty goes.

    I came here in November 2023 and I ordered Margate broiled in lemon butter, Gator Bites, and French Onion Soup. I also had cheesy grits and french fries as my sides. On a Saturday 1PM, seating was instant even though it was packed. I originally wanted to try the Cobia fish but it was unavailable. All of their available items were on the board. 8 minutes after ordering I received complimentary bread and butter. It was warm, chewy, and satisfying. The French Onion soup was yummy too. It has gooey cheese and was not too hot. The soup also looks deeper than it is. As a tourist, I was most excited for the gator bites. It had a sour and salty taste, like a strange chicken. It came with a sauce that felt like a variant of thousand island. It honestly reminded me of orange chicken, but way more chewy. I personally enjoyed the gator bites a lot. The cheesy grits were a miss. It was too salty for me and I struggled to finish it. The fish was pretty average. It remind me of catfish, which is unfortunately my least favorite fish. I personally wasn't a fan of the flavor but glad that I got to try something new. The texture was good though. Overall this restaurant is in the middle of nowhere but has good food and pretty views.

    I visited Harry's Old Place in Winter Haven tonight for the very first time. It is a very cute and welcoming place. I was greeted and seated right away. My waitress, Taylor was so friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered a filet and asked it to be topped with crab. When it came out it was not as expected, undercooked- I asked for medium rare but it was very rare and the topping was cold. I hesitated to say anything but Taylor noticed and immediately asked what she could do to make it right. She ended up recommending mahi with a garlic sauce topping which was delicious! The GM Cody came over and was just as kind. I will for sure be back and appreciate them for not making me feel bad (or worse) for returning the first dish.

    Beautiful location, great drinks, average food…read more I wanted to love this place. It has great Yelp reviews and is located right on the water. The drinks were very good, service was super friendly, it was the food that fell short. Here's what we got and what we thought. My husband started with the harborside margarita, which was great. He then decided to get a fishbowl margarita. It's 52 oz so it's huge. It was only $15 which was stunning for that amount. He couldn't finish it and left about 1/3. I got a watermelon smash. It has a good amount of alcohol and was delicious. I'd probably branch out and try something else, but it was pretty good. For food we started with the meatballs. It's all beef and was the highlight of the meal. The kids loved the bread it came with. I got a lobster roll and found it had too much dressing to let the lobster shine. It was $30 and disappointing. The coleslaw was ok. My husband got a filet with a Caesar salad. The Caesar salad also had too much dressing. The filet was ok. I didn't love it but our younger son did eat a bit. My older son got the French bread pizza with fries and didn't like the pizza. I wasn't a fan either, the cheese tasted pretty meh to me. He ate some of the fries. Overall this place is great for the atmosphere but I don't think we'll be back soon because of the food.

    Awesome Local Florida Seafood!…read more When I first started eating from this food truck they used to serve fries with the protein. Since the accident with their truck and they have been using the smaller trailer truck they stopped serving fries. Instead they replaced it with 4-5 Hushpuppies and a small sauce container of coleslaw. To me its not worth buying the plates without the fries because you feel its less food for the price you pay. My favorites are : Crab bites / crab cake balls. They increased the price to $10 and you only get 5 pcs now. Apparently the size is bigger than before. The new size is golf balls size. Fried Shrimp / you pretty much pay $1 a shrimp. You get about 10-11 shrimps per plate. They are huge shrimps. This costs about $11. Fried Grouper Sandwich / this is my favorite when it came with fries. Because I don't eat the bun - I eat the grouper like fish and chips! The grouper is huge! And tasty! It is one of the popular item on the menu! The cocktail and tartar sauce and the coleslaw are house made. To me the blackberry lemonade and coleslaw tastes like publix. I only follow them to grab eats when im craving but since they stopped serving fries I slowly decline following them nowadays. The cod fish and chips most of the time the fish is tad overcooked .. and no more fries! So I stopped ordering it. As much as I hate to not support the locals .. until they bring back fries in the plates, I wouldn't support as much anymore.

    I definitely have to update my review from a few years ago as I returned here a couple of times…read morerecently and had a great experience. This place is absolute paradise for my Lego loving child. It's pirate themed and has epic Lego creations. My son loves the area where kids can play with Legos and it's nice for the parents too as it gives them a break. The food is served family style and you get a lot of bang for your buck as you can reorder as many things as you'd like. We chose the Pirate Platter which includes: a delicious salad with apples and pecan and honey bread upfront, then a platter of assorted meats such as brisket, steak, sausage, chicken, and ribs. The brisket is our favorite. It comes with green beans, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese. I really wanted to try some of the vegan platter so they brought that out for me at no extra charge. For dessert, we got a pan cookie with ice cream as well as the vegan chocolate fondue with fruits and marsh mallows. All of this unlimited for only $39 per adult and $19 per child with drinks included. Delicious and such a fun dinner experience! Since I stayed at the hotel, I also came here for breakfast as it is included in the stay. Breakfast is the same across all three Legoland hotels. It's also served family style and includes scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, gravy, French toast or pancakes. You can add fruits, yoghurts, cereal, oatmeal at no up charge. And it also includes drinks such as coffee, milks, juices, etc. The staff was very accommodating about letting me take things to go and ordering extra stuff.

    Ok so we came here for convenience after the park…read more We walked in and saw its $40 per person for an adult. I was like oof. But we sat down and met our waitress Michelle. She is very nice. Older lady, you can tell she's been around as a waitress for a while. Kind of reminds me of like the old diner waitresses "What are you having" lol. Anyway, she was awesome. She let us pick off both options. We ordered the pirate one which is BBQ choices and we got some of the sea dog options for the seafood side. So sweet. We first got our bread. It was good. Tasted like a yeast bread. Came oiled and with sweet butter. It also came with a salad as well for the table which had cheese, tomatoes onion and greens. The salad dressing was light and sweet. The main food came. It came with ribs, flank steak, pulled pork, brisket, beans, string beans, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, sausage, and shrimp. 3 sauces came with it, regular bbq, mango bbq and mustard. The mango bbq had real mango in it. Now, preface by saying I understand this isn't a 5 star Michelin chef meal and I wasn't expecting much. However, this was actually very good. The steak was very good. Not dry. The brisket was good. The ribs were good not dry. The pulled pork was dry. The salmon was good, The shrimp was good, Sausage was good, the string beans were ok, the macaroni was very heavy but good and the mashed potatoes were good. Overall I was very impressed. Then for dessert came our chocolate chip covered ice cream with heath bar bits. So very fattening.

We were seated in the back room for a birthday dinner celebration. The room was extremely dark and we couldn't turn on the other lights because it was connected to the most dustiest ceiling fans that had at least 1/4 of an inch thick of dust. The woman who was coming in and out of the room to pour water in the water glasses had an attitude like she didn't want to be there. I asked her a question about the menu and she very dryly told me "you can't order that unless you are on the other side" then walked away. That's when I was inquiring about the bistro menu. At that point I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat anything there due to their lack of plant based items or even easily adjustable items so I just ate the bruschetta. However when we placed the order for the bruschetta it never came out. So once we asked about it, it was then comped and brought out. Our waiter was very irritated and annoyed it seemed with the large party he had to tend to but his assistant which was a younger more personable guy was way more pleasant to be around. The cost point for the food was beyond the taste and size of the portions. When I asked about kid options, the waiter told me he could have the chef make a kids steak or chicken tenders and fries. It was my mistake for not asking for the price since I assumed it was a kids portion. Granted the tiniest steak did come out I still had to pay over $24 which I would have purchased the regular adult size if that was the case. So some clarity on the menu options for the kids would have been greatly appreciated. I can go on and on about this place but ultimately I would recommend not to go here unless you don't care about customer service or price points. Upon leaving the family event, and getting home I then realized my debit card was never returned to me by our gracious waiter. So once we returned to retrieve the card another day we were greeted with the rudest and most annoyed individuals at the host station. Needless to say we will never ever return.
