Located right off the highway next to the Johnson Creek Outlet, Hi-Way Harry's is hard to miss. The Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired architecture explains the quirky yet fascinating decor -- including a waterfall right at the entrance. If you're stopping in for lunch, go for the smashburger. It's got that perfect balance of grease and onion flavor that makes it worth the stop. Enjoy!

Entry area with waterfall

On Sunday we went to Hi Way Harry's at 11 am, the place wasn't too busy. By 12:45 pm we only received one appetizer (note we only ordered one other dish) so asked for it to go and received a bill for $70 (lobster ravioli and risotto croquettes, and 2 coffees). Waitress didn't check on us, apologize nor comp the meal at all. I went to the restroom and there was no toilet paper either ‍ I used up all my patience for the day and was embarrassed for them. The atmosphere was nice but I don't foresee myself going back there again.

Ribs

This always a fun place to stop on our way back from Madison. My mom loves this restaurant. We stopped here recently on a Saturday around 5pm. There are so many options to choose from. I narrowed it down to the pesto chicken with strawberries and my mom got the ribs. Both our meals came with soup or salad, choice of potato and veggies. You also get warm bread before your meal and it is so good. The pesto strawberry chicken was amazing. I hope to recreate it at home. My mom enjoyed her ribs. We splurged on dessert. They bring out a tray of options which is always fun to look over. We went with the carrot cake. It's not pictured because we quickly gobbled it up. Our server was attentive and friendly. This restaurant is also really cool with a raised bar area, a water feature, and very nice bathrooms.

Cool entrance to at Hi-Way Harry's

We met my sister & husband here for brunch on a Sunday and really enjoyed the meal. I had the Crab Benedict and the portion was more generous and I really liked the flavor. All the ingredients were fresh and I like the fact that they added fresh spinach. We got there before my Sister arrived and our server greeted us right away and we were able to able to enjoy a Bloody Mary while waiting. And a $3.00 bloody at that!. Fun atmosphere with a cool waterfall as you walk in. We have driven by this place for years and I'm glad we finally stopped. We'll be back again.

Chateaubriand (medium): it was pretty dang blue for medium, and not the best.

Chateaubriand (medium): pretty dang blue for medium, juices filled the plate and the taste was not great. Mashed potatoes were the best. Mixed veggies seemingly from a frozen bag and reheated - we asked for broccoli for our son but the veggies only came mixed. I now understand the Yelp rating. The quality isn't what it was 15 years ago! The landfill on the property over really reeks as you walk in and out. The restaurant itself is just very out of place.

Cowboy burger with a side of fries
Sonja J.

We went there on a Thursday evening. We had heard it was good and wanted to try someplace we hadn't been before. It's deceptively nice inside!! There is a waterfall in the main lobby and the interior makes you feel like you stepped into a different place altogether, not a restaurant just off interstate 94. We had Jeremiah as a server. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and checked on us numerous times throughout the meal to make sure we had everything we needed to make our meal perfect. We started with the mushroom chips with marinara. Highly recommend. There was a very generous helping served and just the right amount od breading on the portabella mushroom slices. I felt maybe a ranch or smoky cajun ranch might go better with the mushroom texture and flavor. I ordered the cowboy burger. It was juicy and cooked just to my liking. The barbecue sauce was a bit to heavy and sweet and overshadowed the burger. The fries were typical beer battered fries and were seasoned nicely and served nice and crisp and hot. My companion ordered the 5 cheese gourmet mac and cheese. It was tasty and obviously made from scratch. However the bechamel was slight lumpy and the texture coarse for a sauce. Still, the flavor of the sauce was outstanding and the texture of the macaroni was perfect. It was served with soup or salad, and my companion ordered chicken noodle soup. He liked it so much he drank the last bit of it. We shared the chocolate peanut butter torte for dessert. It was tasty and the peanut butter mousse was on point along with the chocolate chips in the dessert. The cake portion in the middle was slightly dry and I would have liked to see some freshly whipped cream on top with a chocolate leaf garnish perhaps. Definitely add whipped cream.

Hair in food!

New Year's Eve dinner disaster! Cafe style table set with no silverware, napkins or water glasses. Cigarette lighter falls out of a wrapper silverware napkin. Two(2) hours after being seated, searching for management. Instead, I found several servers/bussers vaping off the lobby area. Entrees arrive cold and undercooked. Waitress had no idea who got what, it was a "switch of the dinners" game. Found a piece of hair in one of the dinners(see picture). Again, looking for management, found him at the bar enjoying his dinner. Showed him a picture of the hair in the food. He said, "I'll make a note of that." Turned away from me and continued with his dinner. Terrible management, service, and food. Don't waste your $$$ or time.

We came here for a fish fry. They don't take reservations so when we arrived around 5:45pm on a…read moreFriday we had about an hour wait. They have a nice bar area with tables so we were able to grab a table and drinks while we waited. With the crowd, it took some time to get our drink orders. The dining room is cozy. It is family style, all you can eat. The waitress came over to confirm we wanted everything on the menu and then dishes were brought out to our table within 5 minutes. There were sides (baked beans, coleslaw, etc.), fried chicken, baked fish, fried fish, and fries. Overall I thought everything was ok. We were not a fan of the baked fish and the chicken was hit or miss. The chicken was bone in, some pieces were good and some weren't great. Overall our favorite thing on the table was the fried fish. Cool experience and friendly staff but overall underwhelmed by the food.

The dining area is much smaller and you are literally shimmying and squeezing into spaces so you don't bump others. The ambiance is stunning though, with details on the ceilings, the fans and anywhere else you look. We went on Friday, so the menu was limited. I usually get a tenderloin or filet, but I only had ribeye as an option, so I went with it. Many others in our party got the fish fry. There was a relish tray that came along with that, including beans and potato salads. The fish fry came with bake fish, fried fish, and broasted chicken. But we had four people at our table who ordered it and when they asked for more, they brought two pieces of things at a time, seemed extremely silly. Our waitress was extremely hard to hear, as it was so loud in the dining room and she was always walking away from us. The overall experience was okay, but not extremely memorable.
