    Too much time on the panini press. Disappointed it came on just a regular sub roll but I knew that when I ordered it.

    Never again! Been a couple times previously for a quick in and out lunch with work folks. It was always fine - nothing to write home about. This last time I stopped in for another quick lunch. A couple people sitting at the bar; not busy at all. To start, they don't serve sweet tea! I was aghast. lol But I stayed and ordered a Pepsi that turned out to be half flat. Got th menu and the interior of the menu was gross - dirty and sauce and something else on there. I overlooked it and ordered a Cuban that came out over done as hell. It was toasted too long in the panini press. Parts of the bread were burnt and the inside was dry as the Mojave as I said on insta and it lacked any real flavor. The fries were hot and crispy - a plus. The ketchup tasted wrong as hell. Not rancid but on its way. Well? I finish the fries and under the fries were not one but TWO hairs. Weren't mine, I'm bald! Tell my server and say, I think the kitchen needs a little reminder to wear hair nets or something. I don't make a big deal about it cuz at this point it's whatever. He says he'll "yell" at them. Ummm...no yelling isn't necessary, just a reminder - I've worked in kitchens I know what it's like. He takes the plate away and lets me know he "yelled" at them because it was completely unacceptable. I tell him again, no yelling was necessary just a reminder and he replied with, "nah it's okay, I can do what I want around here." So that alone left a nasty taste in my mouth. I never asked for a discount and didn't fully expect one given I ate the thing without complaining but as someone who's worked and run restaurants I definitely would not have charged full price. I'd say it was a waste of 30 minutes but I was waiting for the pharmacy to reopen, but it was definitely a waste of $22!! Never again.

    We came in for the nfl games this past weekend and sat at the bar. I wish we would have gotten the bartenders name as he was SO friendly! We ordered a couple beers a MASSIVE quesadilla (I forgot to take a picture) and some steamed spiced shrimp! Both were awesome and we will be back!

    Sunday 8/6/23 6:47pm The restaurant is packed! That's a great thing. It's a family style restaurant but could also be a casual date spot. Nobody working here gives off the vibe they love their job. That being said, they are a little busy. I'm not really hungry but I wanted something so I will order the crab dip & a cup of homemade chili with a sweet tea. Ok- I was told they don't have the crab dip anymore. They haven't updated the menu yet. They also don't have sweet tea. So I opted for nothing to drink and ordered lobster bisque. The lobster bisque was ok. Would I order it again? Probably not. I also think it has imitation Lobster meat. It doesn't taste real. $9.08 Maybe I'll come back when I'm hungry and try the Ruben.

The staff was kind enough to seat us earlier than our original reservation, which was a really nice touch and much appreciated. I was also happy to see a decent number of gluten-free options. While the main dishes are a bit limited, most of the sides are gluten-free. Now for the food, the crispy chicken sandwich was the highlight of the meal. The Smashburger was also delicious. I ordered the rockfish without the bun, while my dad had it with the bun, and both were great. The beet salad was fresh and flavorful, and the fries were solid. The mac & cheese, unfortunately, was not good at all. On the plus side, the hot cider was delicious. Desserts were a bit of a mixed thoughts. The bread pudding was definitely the best one we tried and really enjoyable. However, the chocolate peanut butter pie was a big disappointment. It was extremely hard and cold (not pie texture), the peanut butter wasn't creamy at all, and it honestly tasted more like a protein bar loaded with sugar. The crust also tasted like it had been sitting in the fridge for a while--disappointing. Overall, we still enjoyed our visit and many of the dishes were great, but the dessert experience could definitely be improved.

It's served with one whole waffle, two large pieces of fried chicken, and syrup on the side. The chicken was not seasoned as much as I hoped and wasn't as spicy as I expected, which was a bummer. The cheese grits were alright as well, but not as flavorful as I hoped. My partner ordered the Double Barrel Bowl, and he really enjoyed it. It was packed with pulled pork and was plentiful and filling. The service: Great and kind service from Mave (I believe that is her name but I'm not entirely sure). She informed us about the daily specials and was attentive throughout our visit.

I would have skipped this place if the perfect parking spot hadn't come available but the parallel parking gods told me I was meant to give this place a try. (I live in the land of parking lots and I'm not about this life, lol) This place is really cute!! I only saw the main dining area and bar. Decor is retro, quirky, hipster. The lighting is moody but not too dark. The art is kind of historical eccentric. There's a gorgeous picture of Harriet Tubman over one table that I loved. The waitstaff was really sweet (shout out to Sydney for being awesome). I'm a solo dinner table for one when on business and the waitress was attentive without being over bearing. I had the brussel sprouts, appetizer. It was well flavored with a move char/crisp. Cocktail (The Affair) was great, balanced and yummy but not over sweet. I had the salmon dinner that came with mashed potatoes and green beans. Nice crispy skin, seasoned decent, cooked a little more well-done than I prefer but it was cooked to the level my friends would probably request. Potatoes seemed a little over mixed or possibly from instant but not bad. It didn't stop me from eating it all . It's a great date spot and I enjoyed listening to the "first date" couple who got seated next to me. Yep I'm nosy and the tables are close enough that it's not the place for a private convo. Bread Pudding Dessert was standard but yummy. The place exudes a feeling of inclusion and love from the friendly interactions, to the diverse art, to the pride cake dessert. I love that. Overall I'd give the food a solid 4 but with the, service, and ambiance it rounds up to a 5. Live music came in towards the end of my meal. It was really nice. Not too loud.

Walking in the front door to a welcoming entryway was a nice surprise. The host had gone home already, so we walked in and were seated by a warm and kind bartender. Our server, Clare, came over immediately after and gave us the rundown. No sour beers here either. We looked over the curated menu, and chose a few appetizers, the burrata and the egg rolls. For an entree my partner ordered the fried chicken sandwich, and I chose the pomegranate glazed pork belly. The place settings and restaurant decor were modern and aesthetically pleasing. The paintings and pictures were well placed. I especially liked the one with Truman and the alien, Ebi. The books and book shelves were a nice touch; I thought Harry's would be a nice place to relax on a weekday and enjoy a new read. The food came: the burrata on toast topped with a balsamic glaze and peaches was scrumptious as were the mac and cheese and beef egg rolls. The dips, a sweet BBQ sauce and a spicy mustard aoli, both worked their magic. My partner's fried chicken sandwich was massive. She enjoyed half that night and half the next night for leftovers. The garlic mashed potatoes were exquisitely prepared. The pork belly was a poor choice in my opinion; half of the pork belly was fat that I had to painstakingly remove, and it seemed overcooked. Though, maybe that was the intent, to crisp the bottom. The food tasted fantastic once I did all the prep work to get to it, but the butter knife made cutting through the pork and the broccolini challenging. The broccolini was more sour than I would have liked, probably prepared with lemon, and the garlic mashed potatoes again, with the pomegranate seeds, were the clear winner. It indeed felt like we got the dregs from the kitchen, which is strange considering we arrived well before closing time. Our appetizers and entrees came out at the same time. Everything felt thrown together, even though it was played well and the food tasted top tier. It really seemed like the kitchen staff was ready to go home. All things considered, I recommend Harry's. The food was incredible, the staff were kind and accommodating, just arrive before 8PM if you want a better culinary experience.

The decor and the ambiance are invigorating & soul soothing concurrently. On both occasions I ate in the upstairs dining area & I really enjoyed being able to look out their windows & observe the hustle & bustles of Broad Street while dining. The music that played in the background while we dined was the perfect aural companion to a down home Southern cuisine centered meal. As you know, I love when the music in the restaurant compliments the cuisine & Lillie Pearl's playlist is top notch. During our dining time, we ordered their Smoked Wings as our appetizer. The wings were perfectly seasoned & visually appealing. However, I found them to be a bit dry & overcooked for my taste. My dining companion, however, had no problem with the wings texture. She enjoyed them very much. For my main meal, I ordered their Wild Game Burger[a mixture of Waygu Beef, Bison & Wild Boar] with a side order of Fries. The burger was cooked perfectly. It was well seasoned & juicy. The fries were delicious. They were crispy and also perfectly seasoned. I could have eaten a whole plate of just the fries alone. I ordered a cocktail to complement my meal, the Sweetest Thing. It was bright, crisp & a perfect drink for my food. As for Customer Service, Our server was courteous & attentive & knowledgeable about any menu changes we needed to be aware of. Also of note for me was that I had a reservation I needed to change to an earlier time slot & the staff was able to accommodate my request expediently. I also appreciated the fact that they informed me in advance that they were still on the Lunch menu & not dinner as my initial reservations had requested. I find that type of honesty & transparency refreshing & is definitely one of the reasons I will ALWAYS be a loyal Lillie Pearl customer.
