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.

Outside eating area
Hannah C.

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.

Shrimp and Grits

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.

French Market pasta
Ann L.

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.

Crawfish and Shrimp Etouffe
Leena S.

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.

Fried green tomatoes
Priscilla H.

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.

Grit bread
Billy L.

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.

Crab cakes with red pepper sauce
Tiersa B.

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.

Fish tacos (right) with side of collard green (left)
Alana K.

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!

Mahi w/ Nola rice
Benjamin B.

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.

Blackberry Bramble
Debbie M.

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!!

Harry's patio seating
Beth C.

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

Ask for the gravy on the side. Exceptional dish! Their drinks are also really good. The bartenders know what they are doing. You won't go wrong with any cocktail, a glass of the house whiskey, or just asking them to get creative for you. Service is always excellent. Professional, friendly, attentive. Very well run. And the location is really cool - an old ice factory turned into a restaurant. Its industrial setting goes with the vibe. While the Saint Augustine trolleys cart people here, don't write this off as a tourist trap. It's one of the best restaurants in North Florida.

We walked in around 12 o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon and was able to sit at the bar with no challenges. Bar area is open seeing if you want a table you do have to check in. I started with a handmade Italian soda the ginger one and I love this because the ginger is very pronounced. It's very crisp and light. I also got an order of their soup of the season, which was a red curry. It was absolutely delicious. Had great flavor little spice at the end of it as well. For lunch, we split the fried chicken that comes with collard greens and whole cakes. The collard greens are by far one of the best that we have ever had. They use slab bacon and they're absolutely delicious. We've literally talked about them for years and they were just as good as we remembered. Fried chicken was nice and moist and the hocakes cakes were very sweet. For drinks, I tried one of the seasonal ones which was the witches of Eastwick. The gin based drink definitely was sweet, but exactly what I was looking for. My husband got an old-fashioned because they had black walnut bitters when he was really excited about.

Walking in, I loved the vibes! It gave modern tiki bar feeling, it was clean and felt very warm and inviting. We sat at the bar and was greeted by the bartender and a very extensive and beautiful leather bound menu! I loved that haha! They had everything from classic tiki drinks, to modern, to drinks by liquor type, etc. It had the food menu, some information about the bar and how it came about. We ordered a few drinks: Bushido Rhapsody (DELICIOUS), Stars & Sarsaparilla (husband liked it) and their currently rotating tiki drink - Escape from Black Mountain, which serves 2 and is served in a cool mug of the bust of Pedro Menendez. You can purchase it as well! It was so good and felt never ending between the 2 of us drinking it. For food we ordered a couple of apps - Cajun Chicken Eggrolls and the Montenegro Meatballs.
