Great little "lake restaurant" & bar. Kind & helpful staff. It's one of our favorites when we're at the lake & want to enjoy a sit down meal. Brunch is yummy too & especially nice on the patio overlooking the lake. read more

We visited The Harbor on Sunday, September 6th, and I really wanted to love this place. My husband found it and thought it would be the perfect spot to celebrate our son and his girlfriend's 1-year anniversary. Our son is attending college at Navarro, while his girlfriend lives in Hawaii, and she flew all the way out to Texas just to spend their anniversary with him. My husband and I wanted to treat them to a special dinner, so this wasn't just another night out for us. First, I will say the location is BEAUTIFUL. The drive out there was gorgeous, and being right on the water made us even more excited about dinner. We completely understood that it was a busy holiday weekend. My husband called ahead, and the hostess was kind enough to get us a 6:00 PM reservation. We ended up arriving about 15 minutes late, and despite how packed they were, she was very gracious and seated us immediately. We truly appreciated that. Unfortunately, that's where the good customer service pretty much ended. We sat for almost 25 minutes before our waitress was even able to take our drink order. She was very sweet and apologized, and because we could already see how overwhelmed they were, we tried to be understanding. At that point I told my husband, "Let's just order our food now too because we're probably going to be waiting awhile." Thank goodness we did. Our waitress told us she would bring dinner rolls. More than 30 minutes passed... no rolls. We eventually had to ask for them ourselves. We kept watching more people being seated, especially outside, while we continued to wait...and wait...and wait. Eventually we went outside to take pictures by the water because our food was nowhere in sight. By then, we had been waiting around an hour and 15 minutes. My husband was beyond frustrated and ready to leave, but we had driven about 25 minutes to get there and the kids were STARVING. When he finally asked how much longer our food would take, we were told, "Oh, it's ready." It wasn't. Our food finally arrived around the 1 HOUR AND 30 MINUTE mark. On top of that, they had run out of the large pizza we ordered and offered us two small pizzas instead. I assumed "small" would still be a reasonable size. Nope. They were basically personal-pan sized--and for what we paid, that was another disappointment. Now, I will absolutely give credit where it's due: when our main dishes FINALLY arrived, the food was delicious. We enjoyed what we ordered. But good food doesn't erase an hour-and-a-half wait with very little communication or attention. When we asked for more rolls, we were told they had run out. By the time everything was said and done, we looked around and realized we were literally the LAST TABLE being served and the last customers leaving. The owners appeared to be at the bar, yet no one came over to acknowledge what had happened, apologize for the excessive wait, or even offer to adjust anything on our bill. And THAT is what bothered me the most!! I understand restaurants get busy. I understand holiday weekends can be crazy. I understand kitchens get backed up and things run out. What I don't understand is continuing to seat customers when your staff and kitchen are already overwhelmed, while customers who have been waiting well over an hour are left wondering when--or IF--their food is coming. Sometimes customer service is simply saying, "We are really sorry. We dropped the ball tonight. What can we do to make this right?" We never got that. I honestly wish I had read some of the reviews before my husband booked our dinner here. The Harbor is absolutely beautiful, and if you want somewhere to enjoy the scenery and take gorgeous pictures by the water, the location delivers. But would I drive 25 minutes back to have dinner there again? Unfortunately, NO. This was supposed to be a special anniversary dinner for two young people we love, and instead most of the evening was spent hungry, waiting, frustrated, and wondering where our food was. Beautiful view. Delicious food once it finally arrived. But the overall experience and customer service left us extremely disappointed. And for us, a beautiful view just isn't enough to make up for that. read more

The Harbor Restaurant - The beautiful scenery i mentioned in my review. - Steakhouses Near Me - Corsicana, Texas

Our waitress, the band (TX Express) & the view were all super fabulous. For a starter we ordered the bruschetta & house salad then for our main, the elk steak with asparagus & pecan crusted halibut with Mac. The quality was good but everything was bland & there was no salt or pepper on the tables. The star of the show was the toffee sticky bun which was a mini Bundt cake with a fantastic flavor. We shall return. read more

Boneless chicken wings were so over cooked that we ask for a dipping sauce as choke em down and they changed us $3.00 for the sauce. BTW OUR TICKET was over $150 So we ask why , manager said we did not ask to replace the burnt chicken and she was not nice about it. I will not be going back and do not recommend anyone eat there. Seems it is more s drinking hole than a restaurant Oh Andreas K has not been there for 4-5 years read more

The service was phenomenal. Joyce was very kind and quick with getting our drinks and food. Food was fantastic. Would definitely recommend to anyone :) read more

We tried this place for dinner recently and it was ok. We tried the garlic shrimp appetizer. It took about 30 min to come out. I'm not sure if the kitchen was backed up or if the server didn't put in the order? She checked on us a couple of times before we asked about the appetizer when she came around a third time. When the appetizer finally came out, we didn't have plates, so we asked for that. We also noticed the tables around us were all getting complimentary bread. We wanted some to dip in our lemon garlic sauce from the shrimp, so we flagged down another server. My wife tried the blackened snapper, I tried the shrimp po boy and my daughter had the grilled cheese with apple sauce. They didn't bring out a spoon for the apple sauce, so we had to ask for that. The red snapper was over cooked and dry. Overall, the food was ok, but the service was not. The appetizer and plates were never cleared. We had to ask for several routine things, including basic things like refills of water. Several larger groups seated after us received their meal before ours without having to ask their servers for anything. Unfortunately, there's not much in the area, so hopefully this was just a one-off. read more

Just left this place. Drove an hour to eat and enjoy the view. Got seated immediately... Waited 15-20 minutes before I finally got up and asked a server to help us. Ordered two drinks and one plate of food at the same time. Drinks didn't come after 15 minutes, I had to walk inside and ask if we could have our drinks which were sitting at the bar waiting. It's been an hour since we ordered our food (they aren't even busy). Waiter came and said he was bringing us some cinnamon bread.. that never came, finally went inside to ask for our check and told Him we still didn't get food and he tells us the food was plated up waiting to be brought out. We cancelled the order and left! Worst service I have ever had. Cannot tell you what the food was like since we never got it after asking about it several times. read more

Nice ambiance. You can sit outside and admire the boats on the lake. We made reservations for Mother's Day Brunch Buffet. We got seated right away. But sat at the table for at least 10 minutes before anyone came to our table even though multiple servers walked by. We paid over $45 per person and drinks such as a mimosa or ice tea was not even include in the price. Food was tasty although not exceptional. Prime rib was offered, along with eggs, bacon, French toast, cinnamon rolls. I would not return for their "special brunch". Perhaps they just need extra servers on special days. read more

Well tonight was a new experience for me. I've been to the Harbor restaurant a handful of times. The servers are nice but service and food preparation is always exceptionally slow. This being a holiday weekend we expected it to be busy but our group of 4 adults and 2 kids were seated right away, around 6:45. We ordered drinks, soda and water. Drinks came about 30 minutes later the soda and water about 45. Our sever seemed a bit frazzled and we Finally ordered our food around 7:40. We ordered a few more drinks and waited, very patiently. The server mentioned getting us some biscuits a few times but they never made an appearance. By 8:30 the restaurant was pretty cleared out but no sign of any food. Still no food at 8:45 so we told our server if our order hadn't been started we would like to settle our drink bill and go. Then someone named Peyton (hostess??) told us our ticket had only been in for 37 minutes and it would be another 20 minutes until our order would be done. I'm not sure if our server got busy and forgot to put in our order or what happened but we had been waiting an hour snd now it was going to be another 20 minutes. We said we couldn't wait any longer and requested our order be cancelled. When my daughter went to pay for the drinks Peyton told her to never come back. She was shocked and told my son-in-law who then went back in to talk to Peyton. The owner then joined in and basically repeated "never come back". After reading several reviews I guess I'll join the distinguished list of patrons who complained and were told to "never come back". If you do dare to try the Harbor Restaurant I recommend you eat a snack ahead of time as you may be waiting quite a long time for your meal! read more

I am updating my review from a year ago. Dropped in and gave the steak ( ribeye ) another shot. It was hot, cooked to perfection, and juicy, and tender. Service and staff is always on point. We love The Harbor! Great wine selection too. Keep ip the great work! read more

This was hands down the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. The food was garbage--poorly cooked and barely edible--but the service was somehow even worse. Our waitress did her job, nothing more nothing less. However, another waiter was rude from the start, treated us like we didn't belong there, and then crossed the line completely when it came time to pay. After leaving a 15% tip (which was more than the service deserved), we were chased down, insulted, and told we didn't tip enough. The manager or what she called herself, owner, actually said they "don't like people like us" and told us to never come back. That's harassment, plain and simple. I've never been treated with such disrespect at any business. Save yourself the money, the time, and the humiliation--stay far away from this place. read more

I started out with a Creamsicle drink which was nice at the outset but that " Creamsicle" taste wasn't evident about halfway into the cocktail. The deep fried bread was a novelty. I've never had it before. I won't spoil it in how they make it. You'll have to ask them yourself! The salad was fresh and colorful. I had it with a honey mustard dressing. My main entree was a seafood combo. I chose garlic shrimp and fried catfish. The shrimp came in a small dish akin to a medium ramekin. I liked the taste. The issue with fried anything is you're not sure what you're eating. They were catfish tenders. The green beans I chose must of come out if a institutional can. I can't recall the last time in decades I experienced this. The Molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream was good. We did have an attentive server. He took great care of us. Nice harbor view! 3 1/2 stars. 3 1/3 stars. read more

Always a great time at The Harbor! Food is delicious and a Great Lake atmosphere vibe!

Have tried this place around 5 times. Most times, the food takes over an hour to come out. I'm not sure if they are understaffed in the kitchen or if the flow process needs improvement, but they should not sit at full capacity if they can not support it. read more

One of the worst restaurant experiences of my life. We came in around 6pm with a party of 11 people. We ordered food around 6:30, and at 8:30 we still had not gotten our entrees. Our party respectfully asked to close out so we could pay for our drinks, and the owner approached us and argued about how long we had been waiting. After asking him some questions about how long he would expect his customers to wait for food, he told us not to come back. read more

My go to is the kebabs. I've tried other dishes at this restaurant, but the kebabs is what I always go here for and the shrimp kebabs are the best. The service is awesome. The atmosphere is awesome. I love the fact that I can play whatever I want on the jukebox from my phone . I will definitely return to this restaurant again and again plus on the other side of the lake from where I live I can go there by truck or buy boat. read more

I've eaten here a few times, mostly for brunch. Because brunch is the most important meal of the day. :) All I can say is get the biscuits and gravy. So, so good. The Cowboy Benedict will also satisfy that craving. If you're an eggs Benedict connoisseur, you will also love this place. My friend swears by the chicken and waffles. If you're looking for something different, the Brisket Hash is my recommendation (made with Bludso's famous brisket). Service has been mostly good. A couple times the kitchen was running behind but our server was up front about it and it wasn't an issue. Great drink menu with mimosa specials if that's your thing. They have life music on the weekends sometimes. I'd check their Facebook page where they post their events. The views are great with the lake in the background. They have lots of indoor and some outdoor seating along the water. Overall, a great place to enjoy good food and hang with friends and family. read more

This building on the lake is amazing, but we were not too impressed with the steaks at all, seems like a steak you would get at Applebees or Chilis, definitely 2 times more than what it should of cost, I also saw a piece of lettuce with some brown on it, service was good just if you are wanting a nice steak dinner I would definitely travel to somewhere else. read more

We really like this place. The staff is always pleasant and helpful and the food is good. The view is fantastic!

Great service, friendly people and OMG the view is beautiful. There is nothing I've eaten that I didn't enjoy. Hamburgers, pizza, seafood and more. read more

Incredible food! Staff! Ambiance and a stunning view! Get a shipwrecked fishbowl while you're there! There is nothing on this menu that's bad! My only regret is I didn't stay in the area long enough to try everything! read more

My husband and I came here at the recommendation of our local Airbnb host, and let be tell you, we'll be back! The view was amazing, the service equally amazing, the mimosas yummy, the Bloody Mary was so good (according to my husband), and the food was freaking incredible! Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

11 of us celebrating 2 birthdays. Having a great time. ONE of the meals had an issue and the waiter offered a replacement. When the bill arrived they charged for BOTH. The manager said this is the owners policy and there is nothing they can do about. The waiter OFFERED. Never said anything about a second charge. The manager was indifferent. Nevermind the fact that this policy is not posted anywhere. I've traveled all over the world and never run into this policy anywhere. I would suspect it is even illegal if challenged. It's too bad this business will lose all our future business over shrimp scampi that tested like it was drowned in lemons and a lemon of a manager. Save yourself some potential headaches and avoid this place at all costs. Wish I could give it less than 1 star. read more

Portions are small for the money, and bland tasting. Nothing to go out of the way for. Atmosphere was nice, service was good. The large portion of my meal looked like a mistake, not enough food. Even my 4 year old grandson was still hungry after he at all his meal. Won't be going back. read more

I just love this place. Great view of the lake, exceptional customer service, and the food and drinks are absolutely delicious. I'm a Martini Girl and I just love a great tasting Martini. It was recommended for us to try the Pineapple Upside Down Martini and oh booooooy was it DELICIOUS, not only did it taste delicious but it was pretty. If you're at the Harbor and you are looking for something different to drink try the Pineapple Upside Down Martini, you will not be disappointed. Wait!!! Let's not forget about the Chocolate Martini. If you are a Chocolate lover this is the drink for you. I normally get this one last to end my night just right! read more

I love the atmosphere of this place. Everyone e is relaxed and chill. I don't eat out because I expect the best food. I go because I want to enjoy the atmosphere and this place always delivers on that. The servers always go out of their way to help. They always seem like they enjoy their job and that's a great thing to have. The place is pretty spacious so you don't feel like you're too close to another table. And the view is great. With all that said, I wish the place WOULD get some new food options or have better side dishes. Other than that, I love this place and we go once a month. read more

This place has alot to love but also some not to like. It is the coziest lake resturant I have been to. The atmosphere is calming. The food menu is delightful. Everything I have had on the menu has made my palate happy. The menu is a little smaller for NOT what i would label as a fine dining restuarant. They also took more than a few things off the menu I really loved.... For example the fried calamari. I feel like price's on the drinks are a little high though. Especially when you want to stay and take in the scenery. read more

The Harbor Restaurant has a great view of the Richland-Chambers Reservoir from both inside and outside seating. The menu has a lot of range, from burgers to pasta. I have eaten there at least 3 times and have enjoyed all my meals there. They also have live entertainment in season. read more

Best place on RC lake to drink eat and relax. The wings are best in area. The bar has great bartenders. Outside on the porch is clean and has a magnificent view. Watching the boats come and leave is just relaxing. In 4 years it's finally just what the lake needed. With the Marina nearby the opportunity for fishing just adds to the lake experience. Our place to hangout for drinks and meals with a view. read more

Such an adorable find! Building looks new and very clean. Marcus served us and was amazing! Really sweet and quick to serve. Food also was a win - got the chicken fried steak and brisket hash. CFS is buttery and one of the best we've had! Upstairs area currently under construction.. sounds like more good things to come! read more

While attending a fishing tournament in the area, we stopped for lunch at this place. While there's some expansion construction underway, the parking lot and the area around the patio are kept clean and easy to access. The service was very friendly and prompt. All our requests for substitutions and add-ons were met without a blink or a cringe. Outside seating offers tables in and out of the sun. The bar is fully stocked and the wine list is not too shabby either. Whenever we're back in the area, will definitely be back. read more
