    Javanese shrimp stir fried noodles
    Boon C.

    This is a take out restaurant with no dine in condition. We came here due to their Southeast Asia rendang beef. Unfortunately, they no longer carry that. We decided to have other items in the menu and notice they have Javanese food. We got the Javanese shrimp stir fried noodles. They give a lot of food. But the price is not cheap either for take out place. My wife got the pork pad Thai. We selected a picnic area and start enjoying our food. Unfortunately the taste is not match what we expected for the capital city. We did not finish the food and have to throw away due to taste. Value to price is not favorable and the taste is not there.

    Tofu filled with cabbage, onions, carrots and fried
    Dianne P.

    First time back since the pandemic. I ordered the hot and sour soup, beef rendang, and Tahu Isi to try it. I went to sit in the car because they are take out only and I had a dog in the car. The woman at the counter is always so friendly and I adore her lilting voice. She came out to tell me my food was ready so I went into get it. The hot and sour soup had too much cornstarch in it and it was not as flavorful as I remembered. I threw it away. The Tahu Isi was tofu filled with veggies, cabbage, onion, carrots and battered and fried. It was good but a little greasy. I liked it though and would probably order it again. The oil probably wasn't hot enough. The beef rendang had a wonderful curry aroma. I put a few spoons of it over the white rice. It was spicy with a good flavor. The meat was tender but some pieces had entirely too much fat connected. One bite was all fat. I liked the spice but be forewarned- it isn't for the faint of heart. It was good but I wished they would trim the meat more but fat is flavor. I'll come back for lunch and see if the beef Mongolian is as good as I remember.

    16. Sesame Chicken, 1. Egg Fried Rice
    Rachel T.

    Y'all, I'm so disappointed. The rice had no color or flavor, and the chicken was extremely gummy and not satisfying. Worst of ALL, once I had a couple of bites I found a bug (looked like a gnat) crawling in the chicken! Giving one star because the hostess was sweet.

    Egg rolls
    Brigitte M.

    We ordered the sesame chicken with rice (egg rolls included), shrimp lo mein, shrimp fried rice, and fried cheese wontons (all for pick up). Though everything was good, the noodles for the lo mein dish were a bit drier than I like; additionally, I expected to have more than five shrimp. Though I will have loads of leftover noodles left, I will have to make sure they don't become even drier when I warm them up. Of note, the shrimp fried rice had a decent amount of shrimp, but they were all at the bottom of the container - which is not the best way to enjoy the meal if eating directly from the container. In any case, the portions for most items are more than generous. I am sure that we will return but don't think I will order the shrimp lo mein again.

    Mongolian Beef!  The meat is SO TENDER and the sauce would be good on anything!
    Danae K.

    One word...YUMMY. We ordered the steamed dumplings, egg drop soup, moo goo gai pan, bakmi goreng (all the way) and fried chicken wings. ALL AWESOME. I wouldn't ordinarily order chicken wings when I am craving Asian food but this is what my daughter wanted. Ummm, holy deliciousness!! Soooooo goooood. I had this meal delivered but I can say that Tan's called to verify my order. The person I talked to was super sweet! This is a great place to order Asian-Americanish favorites AND to try I here they have a buffet, so I will see you there!!! ***Ordered some new stuff and I am posting pics of my new favorites, the Mongolian Beef and Shrimp Chow Mein!

    Mark R.

    I cannot begin to brag about the food tonight! full with rich flavors the Mongolian tofu was beyond phenomenal! It was cooked to perfection and the spices were outstanding! The service as well was phenomenal. They were truly customer centered watching out for what the customer needs. Making sure our drinks were refilled and that we were satisfied with our selection which beyond words we were! I will be back in Tallahassee next week and of course I will be going back here.

I was DISAPPOINTED. Just DISAPPOINTED. The food was NOT good and definitely NOT New Orleans. The food was downright horrible. Despite the inside appearance, the tacky décor and signs plastered all over the place, I really wanted to like this place, and it breaks my heart to have to write this review. I ordered two dinners. The 10-piece catfish strips with fries and and the 6-piece shrimp with hushpuppies at a total cost of $16.66. It took about 15 - 20 minutes to get my order. Everything tasted like it was fried in cooking oil that was beyond its life and needed to be changed. The catfish strips were small, overcooked, dark in color, dry, and had the flavor of burnt oil / grease. The shrimps were small, overcooked, dry, and tasted like it was cooked in burnt oil / grease. The fries were soggy and just like the fish and shrimp had a burnt taste to them. The hushpuppies were the only thing that was eatable and had great flavor. I only ate 2 pieces of the horrible catfish strips, 3 small shrimps, and a couple of the hushpuppies because that's all my stomach could only tolerate. New Orleans Seafood was a total let down. This may be a locally owned and operated small business, but my goodness, have some standards when it comes to restaurant appearance and food quality.

My favorite entree is the seafood boil, but that's not something you would want to order unless you're feeding a family. For drinks, they have fountain drinks or canned "Hawaiian" options. The interior is bland but comfortable with pleasant music and clean bathrooms. Everything is served in to-go containers even if you're dining in. You can order ahead via their website but cannot pay ahead. Staff are very pleasant and helpful.

    I was pleased to find that Harry's Seafood Bar and Grille was listed on Uber Eats as I searched for…read morerestaurants while visiting the city of Tallahassee. And its 4.4-star rating out of 600+ via Uber Eats was the assurance I needed that I would have a quality experience. Looking through the menu of Harry's, I took interest in and ended up ordering their fried grouper sandwich with Harry's collard greens, and a key lime pie, which both were items I had an interest in trying while visiting the city of Tallahassee. Whether it be Grubhub or now Uber Eats, I love ordering online because it is convenient. Much praise to the Uber Eats delivery driver, Dezi, for arriving with my order at a reasonable time, as well as meeting me in front of the hotel. And Dezi also confirmed that it was me grabbing the order, which I cannot thank her so much for. Once I retrieved my order, it was so hard to not smell it inside of the elevator while heading up to my hotel room. First, I want to say that I was satisfied with the presentation of what I ordered. However, I was not satisfied with the way it was placed inside of the bag, which led to the collard greens leaking slightly, and the cream of the lime pie being splattered around the container. Now my mouth salivated prior to taking my first bite of the grouper sandwich, which appeared big! It could have easily turned into the only meal I ate for the evening and I was not complaining about that. It tasted just as good as it appeared with the addition of tartar sauce which I put a whole glob of it on, tehehe. The grouper sandwich made me forget about the way my food was placed inside of the bag. After letting the grouper sandwich settle off my taste buds, I went for the collard greens, which I enjoyed outside of picking out the chunks of meat! There was a point while eating the collard greens, I said to myself "This is good!". If you love collard greens as much as I do, then I recommend Harry's collard greens, but keep in mind that it has meat chunks inside of it. Now, I saved the best for last, which was the key lime pie! Mm... It was basically a cheesecake in the form of lime pie! And oh my was it tasty! I would be lying if I said that I left some crumbs behind because it sure was satisfying. Okay, Harry's you have won over this traveler from the Midwest. Being that I had a great ordering experience, I would surely order from Harry's Seafood Bar and Grille again whether it be Uber Eats delivery or takeout whenever visiting the city of Tallahassee.
