We had a really good meal at Harry's Seafood in St. Augustine and would rate it a solid 4 stars. The patio seating was nice--comfortable and a pleasant spot to sit and enjoy the evening. Everything we ordered was delicious. The fish and shrimp basket tasted great, though the portions were a little on the small side. The rest of the food was excellent, and the drinks were just as good. We especially loved the Strawberry Bourbon Mule and finished the meal with a key lime pie that was outstanding. The only downside was that the wait time between courses felt a little long, but the quality of the food and drinks made up for it. Overall, a very enjoyable stop and one we'd recommend if you're looking for solid seafood in St. Augustine.
Absolutely wonderful as always!! The food was amazing, everyone I was with raved about their food! Service was on point, whatever we needed waiter was there. We sat outside, went around 4, it's the perfect time if you're trying to beat the crowd. The outside is always a lovely experience.
Harry's continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in downtown St. Augustine. Even on a busy Saturday night, it's worth the wait. We visited with a party of four on a Saturday evening and were quoted about an hour. Honestly, we didn't mind at all. We spent the time looking at the bayfront, enjoying the evening, and catching up on life while we waited. Parking, however, is another story. That's downtown St. Augustine these days--not Harry's fault--but be prepared. We ended up paying $25 to park and had about a 10-minute walk to the restaurant. Still worth it. We were seated outside at a spacious round table, which was perfect for conversation. The patio has a cozy garden feel with tiki torches, string lights, and beautiful landscaping. The only downside was that our table was tucked into a back corner where two walls met, so it didn't catch much of the evening breeze and got pretty warm. On the bright side, the tiki torches seemed to keep the bugs away because they weren't an issue at all. Our server, Samantha, was friendly and did a great job despite how busy the restaurant was. Water refills were a little slower than I'd normally like on a hot Florida evening, but with such a full restaurant, it was understandable and certainly wasn't enough to take away from an otherwise great experience. The only significant miss of the night was the live entertainment. We've visited many times when they've had musicians performing, and it's usually one of the things we enjoy most. Tonight's performer was a talented keyboard player, but unfortunately the vocals were consistently off pitch and the lyrics were difficult to understand. Familiar songs weren't recognizable until the chorus. Hopefully it was just an off night because our previous experiences with the live music have all been excellent. Now...the food. We never skip the Fried Green Tomatoes appetizer. Years ago we made a point of ordering fried green tomatoes everywhere we went while visiting Savannah, Georgia, and Harry's is still my favorite. The coating is perfectly crisp and actually stays attached to the tomato, while the creamy goat cheese and remoulade sauce bring everything together. Two of the slices were noticeably smaller than the others this visit, but we devoured them so quickly I didn't even think to take a picture! I ordered the Shrimp & Grits, and it was outstanding. If you're sensitive to spice like I am, don't let the Cajun flavors scare you away. It has just enough kick to add flavor without overpowering the dish. The creamy grits topped with freshly shaved Parmesan paired perfectly with the rich sauce. Do yourself a favor and ask for bread--you'll want every last drop of that sauce. My husband ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna, which has become his favorite thing on the menu. He orders it almost every time we visit, and it never disappoints. The other two in our party ordered one of the chicken pasta dishes and one of the shrimp pasta dishes. Both were flavorful without being spicy, making them great choices for anyone who prefers milder options. To drink, I had the Hurricane ($12.99), which was exactly what I was hoping for--fruity, refreshing, and perfect for a summer evening. My husband ordered a Tall Tito's & Tonic with a twist. He said it was good, but nothing particularly memorable. Harry's continues to be one of those restaurants we come back to year after year because it's consistently good. Between the atmosphere, the food, the location across from the bayfront, and the friendly service, it's easy to see why it's become a downtown St. Augustine favorite. We'll definitely be back.
Fun atmosphere in a premier location on the riverfront in the historical district of St. Augustine. We walked in without reservations around 5:30 pm and were able to get outdoor seating in the courtyard. By 6 pm, it was packed and a long line of customers waiting for tables. From the New Orleans inspired menu, I ordered a bowl of Gumbo to share as an appetizer and andouille crusted grouper as the main entree. My husband ordered the French Market pasta. All had great flavors and the portion were huge. During dinner there was live entertainment which was nice. The courtyard was pleasant. We finished 2 hours later and the line to get in was even longer. Overall, a must go when visiting St. Augustine.
I so immensely enjoyed the food, service and ambiance of Harry's that I came here not once, but twice for dinner while on vacation in St. Augustine! Expect a wait. That is a given for either lunch or dinner, unless you come on the earlier side. The first time, we waited 30 minutes and the second time about 20. For food we tried Harry's Gumbo, Crawfish and Shrimp Etouffe, Shrimp and Scallops Orleans, and Crabcakes. The portions are large, and some of the entrees on the heavy side, but absolutely delicious. For dessert we ordered, Key Lime Pie and Banana Creme Brûlée. The desserts did not live up to the rest of the meal, but still capped off the evening nicely. The first time we were sat downstairs and our service was fantastic. Our waiter was personable, knowledgable and effortlessly managing several tables at once. The second time we were seated upstairs and waited on by the bartender, this scenario was not as great, but the food still was.
I have been here a few times - always great service and consistent food. We sat outside on their dog friendly patio and ordered the fried green tomatos to start which had so much flavor. Our server was super friendly and had great recommendations - my bf went with the andouille crusted grouper and I went with the blackened redfish. Both were great. The redfish was light, flakey, and had just the right amount of spice. Always a great stop in St. Aug.
I rarely give restaurants a five star review but Harry's Seafood Bar & Grill deserves every bit of it. We were in town visiting friends who live locally and they brought us here and put a lot of thought into it. I got the crab cakes dinner and I got one side with it. I chose the red beans and rice. Both the entree and the side were delicious. My friends got Jambalaya, grit cake, Fat tire, boudin balls and red fish. Everyone loved their food and our waitress Kayla was amazing. She was so much fun and right on top of everything.
Yum! After a couple of days near Orlando and having too much fast food and pizza (because of my kids) I was really looking forward to some good seafood. This place did not disappoint! We started with the crab cake appetizer which was fantastic. I ordered the crab dusted redfish royale which was delicious! I love the smashed potatoes and corn maque choux. Unfortunately I was stuffed from the crab cake appetizer and the side salad I ordered so I couldn't eat too much. My husband had the andouille crusted grouper which he said was fantastic. My son ordered the southern fried chicken tenders which he said were just ok since they were kind of soft and not very crispy. We sat in the alley/patio area and the seating and ambiance was absolutely beautiful. Service was excellent as well. I'd definitely recommend this place!
I took a day trip with some friends to St. Augustine and we discovered this incredible seafood restaurant. Harry's Seafood Bar & Grille is a cozy rustic and modern venue. You know it's good when there's a long wait. It's a cute two story building with an outdoor seating area. Since it was a little chilly out, they had lamp heaters available and even live entertainment. The particular singer that day was phenomenal with her unique raspy indie tone. We had a 20 minute wait for our table which happened to be outdoors, so we bought drinks at the bar. The Bloody Mary and Sangria were both better than expected. The downstairs bar was a little tiny for the amount of patrons, but cozy. There's also a bar upstairs. When we finally got seated, we were pleased to have an awesome server. He was attentive, helpful, and had a good sense of humor with our silly group. The staff in general were friendly. I can honestly say that everything we ordered was good. For appetizers we chose Fried Green Tomatoes, Cheese Dip, Fish Strips and Seafood Dip. Dinner included Seared Tuna, Seafood Pasta, Crab Cakes, and a Redfish special. Everything was well seasoned, savory, and rather sizable portions. The only downside is that there may be a wait for the restrooms since this is definitely a high traffic restaurant! There's plenty of pay parking lots.
My family and I came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. It was a little hot outside, so we sat indoors in one of the dining rooms. I had the blackened fish tacos with a side of collard greens. The tacos were filled with fresh pico de gallo and lettuce, and the greens were salty and a little spicy. All of us really enjoyed our food! Our waitress was great and checked in on us a few times during our meal. I would definitely recommend this spot!
Cajun food at it's finest! I ordered thr Mahi with a double order of NOLA rice. The fish was fresh wirh a spicy lemon marinade and the rice had the perfect amount of heat. Served with the trinity! The service, atmosphere and food all exceededed my expectations. Prices were also very reasonable. I only wish I lived closer.
Amazing restaurant. Beautiful inside and out, large patio outside for when weather is nice. Live music of the weekends, I think. Our server was excellent, very attentive and efficient. The bread is delicious, soft, and the garlic butter ... yum... spreads so nicely. I started with a Blackberry Bramble which was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this beverage. I had shrimp and grits as it was a chilly day. It was as perfect as any can be. The grits were smooth and creamy, shrimp lightly seasoned and served in a Cajun gravy. My husband had the fried shrimp and said it was excellent. He doesn't eat cole slaw, so I had his and it was so good, fresh sweet, and delightfully crunchy. Will definitely visit this restaurant again!!
We love sitting outside on the patio at this bustling restaurant. We had a drink while waiting to be seated. Service is friendly but a bit slow. We ordered the Fish Tacos (blackened), which were very good and also tried the Shrimp & Crawfish Pot Pie. The fish tacos had a nice crunch. The pot pie is extremely rich so be prepared if you're not ready for a heavy entree. Both entrées came with sides so we ordered the collard greens which were delicious, and rice and beans which also were good, but needed a little kick of hot sauce

Harry's Seafood Bar & Grille was actually one of the restaurants recommended to us when we first came to visit St. Augustine, before we even lived here! Now that we've officially moved here, we've been back about three more times, and somehow I love it more every time. If you enjoy seafood and New Orleans-style food, this is definitely a place to put on your St. Augustine list! The service has always been good, the drinks are great, and yes, there's usually a wait, but honestly, it goes by pretty quickly. We typically grab a drink and hang outside while we wait for our buzzer to go off, which makes the wait feel much more enjoyable. I have a few favorites here that I find myself coming back to: Redfish Alexandria, absolutely delicious and one of my favorites. Andouille Crusted Grouper , another standout if you're looking for something flavorful and seafood-focused. My first choice now that the low country pasta isn't available Crab Cakes, always a good choice for appetizer. Low Country Pasta, this was a special during their Mardi Gras menu, and I was SO SAD to find out it wasn't a regular menu item because I would order this all the time! My first choice And please save room for dessert because the fried Oreos are a MUST-TRY! For drinks, you really can't go wrong, we've had a few of their signature drinks, but the Cucumber Martini was one of my favorites. Refreshing, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering! The restrooms are conveniently located both upstairs and downstairs. Parking in this part of St. Augustine can be a little difficult, but that's pretty typical for the area and definitely wouldn't stop me from coming here. Overall, Harry's has become one of those places we're happy to keep coming back to. Great food, fun atmosphere, good drinks, and plenty of New Orleans-inspired seafood dishes to choose from. Definitely worth checking out when you're visiting St. Augustine! read more

We absolutely loved Harry's Seafood Bar & Grille! If you love New Orleans style food, this place is a must visit! The outdoor dining area is absolutely gorgeous and creates such a beautiful atmosphere. I ordered the Mahi with arugula and NOLA rice, and it was phenomenal! The Cajun flavors were delicious with just the right amount of spice. The food was reasonably priced, and everything came out quickly. Our server was fabulous, friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Gorgeous atmosphere, incredible Cajun food, fair prices and fabulous service. We highly recommend Harry's and cannot wait to go back! read more

Harry's is a staple for my boyfriend for when we go to St. Augustine. And there's a reason for it! They have wonderful food and are conveniently located in the walking area of downtown st Augustine. Service has been a little hit or miss depending on when we've come but it's not been horrible. If you've come for dinner be prepared to wait. Anytime we've stopped in after 5 it's always been about an hour wait and there's very limited seating space to wait. However, while you're waiting they do have a server who will take drink orders and bring them out to you. We love that service as it's very convenient. This is an old home or business that's been converted on each floor to have its own kitchen. We've dined on the first and second floor, and so far I prefer the first floor dining space as it was just a little less crowded. The food can be spicy so be wary of what you're ordering! The mashed potatoes have a kick to them that's not advertised. The pasta has a kick on the aftertaste. I'm not able to handle really spicy foods and unfortunately for me most of the menu is off limits. However my boyfriend finds the spice a lot more tolerable and loves the salmon dish. Overall, it's a bit of a pricier place to eat but it's a nice treat once in a while. read more

We arrived around 4pm in November, so a busy time since it's during Night of Lights and they don't take reservations. The wait was about 20 minutes; be sure to walk all the way inside to put your name on the list (there was no host outside where guests were waiting). The jambalaya was very good. Everything was seasoned well, and the side of rice and chicken was just okay. Although it was busy, service didn't lack. read more
Where do I begin? Our server, Jordan was personable, friendly, & professional! He was very attentive, polite, and very knowledgeable of the menu! Speaking of menu, wow what. Selection. My fries had the grouper encrusted with something she said was outstanding. She loved the greens, saying they had just the right kick! I had the chicken and grits with broccoli! The seasonings on the broccoli was out of this word! I could love to can that flavor! The chicken was overcooked,however, the sauce on it made up for it! It had just the right amount of heat! LOVED it! We had the ability to sit outside, such a gorgeous Florida day! The trees covering the patio area and the fake owls worth the view! Thank you Jordan for your outstanding service! You truly made this a special visit with your attention to detail!! read more
A lovely day in St. Augustine. Stopped by this popular restaurant. Greeted by a lovely hostess. A short wait for an outside table. Unfortunately we weren't assigned a waiter but someone finally noticed and our waiter Jeremy was very attentive. Love the atmosphere. You can smell the fresh air of the ocean. The landscape is well maintained and provides a delightful atmosphere. Ordered the arugula mahi mahi. The fish was superb. Very tender and flakey. Well seasoned. The accompanying rice however was flavorful but rather dry. My husband paired his mahi mahi with corn grits which were some of the best grits I'd ever had. I would consider changing the complimentary bread as it just tasted like a bun you would use in a sub sandwich. Overall it was a good experience. read more

My friends and I were in St. Augustine for the Nights of Lights and decided to eat at Harry's since it looked like a popular spot. They don't take reservations, so we went early and were able to get a table right away. It was pretty busy, but service was still fast and friendly. If you want to sit on the patio, though, expect to wait. Since it's known for Cajun/Creole food, our server warned us that some dishes might have a bit of spice. Honestly, I didn't find that to be true at all. Everything we tried tasted pretty bland. We shared the Louisiana Foundeax as an appetizer, and it was fine, but nothing special. I ordered the Bourbon Street salmon, and it was overcooked and lacked flavor. Overall, the food just didn't live up to the hype. With how crowded it was and how many good reviews it has, I was expecting a lot more. I left disappointed and would choose another restaurant the next time I come to St. Augustine. read more
Taste: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Every time I'm in St. Augustine, someone tells me to go to Harry's Seafood Bar, and honestly, they're right! The food is consistently delicious, it really lives up to the hype. Definitely a must-visit if you're in St. Augustine, especially if you're in the mood for flavorful, New Orleans-style seafood dishes. The outdoor setup is a big part of what makes it so enjoyable. It's a really comfortable and well-done space with a great atmosphere, laid-back and yet still lively. They've got heaters going when it's chilly and umbrellas for when the sun gets a little intense, so it's a solid spot no matter the weather. On our most recent visit, our server Jesse was super helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly. He checked in at the right times, had great recommendations, and really added to the overall experience. All around, it's one of those places that's easy to recommend. Great food, great vibe, and solid service, definitely worth checking out. read more

Service was fantastic for being fairly packed midday! Our server made sure waters/drinks were replenished and food came out quick. The shrimp and grits was some of the best I've had in Historic St. Augustine! Not sure if the added sausage is necessary to make it such a memorable dish, but definitely added to the flavor. Great vibe inside! read more

Stopped in for lunch as a 4 on a Monday afternoon. Casual atmosphere with tables available inside or outside in their courtyard. The day was beautiful so we stayed outside. Our server was pleasant, friendly and willing to please. Libations all around then onto grilled chicken sandwich, boudin balls (sausage and rice-yummy), grouper sandwich and scallops. Everything was delicious, Enjoy! read more

Wow! Food tastes just like you're sitting in the New Orleans French Quarter. I'm not sure I had joy like this at a restaurant in a really long time. The fried crab claws were 100000% one of the best things I've eaten. I wish I could have taken a gallon home. The fried green tomatoes were also spectacular and I like all the accompaniments that came on it. All of our entrees were delicious. We had the pasta, fish sandwich, and fish tacos. The best treat was the friend Oreo beignets were the final closing act. We sat outside on the patio and it was really nice and the trees kept us from sitting directly in the sun. 10/10 recommend read more
This place was busy...! Seems to be a popular spot for tourists visiting St. Augustine, FL. The food was excellent here and I since I was dining alone, I skirted a 45 min wait to be seated for a nice meal at their bar. I tried their seafood dip (excellent) and also a salad with seared Ahi. The bar area and exterior courtyard seems to be pretty nice spots to dine. I understand there's an upstairs as well, but don't check it out. Enjoy! read more

"Fish tacos, history, and a balcony view worth every calorie!" If you go to Harry's in St. Augustine, do yourself a favor -- sit on the balcony! You get this postcard-perfect view of the waterfront and the Lions Bridge, right next to El Castillo de San Marcos. It's like dinner and a history lesson with seasoning! Our server Jeremy from Indianapolis was awesome -- he just moved to Florida and already delivering 5-star service. (Good luck out here, buddy, just wait till you meet Florida humidity ). We found this spot on TikTok, and for once, TikTok didn't lie! The calamari was crispy, the fish tacos were , and yes... I ordered a hamburger at a seafood place. I know, I know -- but don't judge me, the burger was legit! Between the view, the food, and the vibe, I left full, happy, and slightly jealous of Jeremy's new job location. 10/10 -- would definitely go back (and maybe even try something that actually swims next time). read more

When visiting Saint Augustine, I saw this location when we drove by to get to the alligator farm. I enjoy eating seafood on occasion, though I try to stick mostly to a meat free diet. A vacation or work trip seemed like the perfect time to splurge; especially since the seafood is fresh in Florida versus a landlocked state where I live (Arizona). Love the view of the water from the table and was a great ambiance for a Sunday afternoon lunch. Our waitress was fantastic and hope her wedding went well! Loved the recommendations, and she was right - the hot sauce was so good!!! I had to get two bottles to take home as souvenirs. The food was also fantastic! Definitely would return here if I'm in Saint Augustine again. read more

Dining outside at Harry's and there was a local musician as the crowd had a good vibe as they were enjoying the 80's songs. Went straight for the main course and got the New Orleans Ribeye-was a bit dry but taste was OK with the complimentary sides. The Andouille fish was very tasty, blended well with the red rice and house sauce. There was a less than 10 minute wait for our seats. Service was quick from Rick during our visit. Much appreciated. Parking after 9PM is free on the weekdays and you will most likely pay for a spot . read more

Ask the Community - Harry's Seafood Bar & Grille
Are there any gluten free options?
The menu has many options and I'm sure they can accommodate your dietary needs by recommending dishes that are naturally gluten free. They do have their menu available to view as well if you need to look ahead of time. Hope this helps :)
Do they take reservations?
They do not take reservations. You can call them and ask for the wait time, though!
Can you book?
Are dogs allowed in outside seating area?
Both times I was there! Yes. They were truly service animals for some former military guys
Do I need a reservation?
No reservations, but you need to check in and depending on availability you might have to wait for a table.
Is parking available?
Yes they have their own lot or you can park somewhere else and walk. We have parked in the street before for free and just walked.
Is there Happy hour?
I don't know if they have Happy Hour per se; but, they have a slew of daily specials, which makes it worth a visit almost any day of the week. My wife and I ordered cocktails off the regular menu; and, they were not very expensive.
