I have been enjoying re-visiting restaurants we have not visited in over 10 years. There is no…read morespecific reason we didn't return to the Back Burner because I remember it being fantastic. My last visit was March of 2014, and I am very happy it is still here. We had reservations for the bar area, and were seated right away at a small table. We started with a Pomegranate Bellini and vodka and sprite, with Shrimp Lejon. The shrimp were huge wrapped in delicious, crispy bacon with a dill horseradish sauce. This was a good start. Next we tried the Better Cheddar since they are known for that. Wow, it was cheese and smoke and figs and pear and nuts and crispy flat bread. So many fantastic flavors! I ordered the Grilled Yellowtail Special, and RJ had the NY Strip Special. Mine was so beautiful, , cooked perfectly, with asparagus and lumps of crab. RJ's steak melted in his mouth. We finished with an apple bread pudding that was absolutely incredible. Our server was friendly, fast, and efficient and we will definitely be back to enjoy more of the menu and check out their little shop next door.

My friend and I dined here in tonight. We were sat promptly with our 6:00 reservation. Someone came…read moreover shortly after to fill our water glasses and they mentioned our server would be with us shortly. About twenty minutes later nobody had come over and the restaurant wasn't all that busy. A couple sat down around that time next to us who within a few minutes was visited by a server and given fresh bread. We waited another ten minutes until a little after 6:30 before going to the hostess who told us she'd let someone know. A few minutes later the server who was serving the couple directly next to us came to us, apologized and started our evening. We both ordered the scallop and shrimp risotto and a few minutes later our server came to tell us they were out of scallops. That happen but it's better if the server tells you up front what they are out of. I ended up still getting the risotto with double shrimp instead of both proteins and my friend got the short rib. She said the short rib was very tender. My food was good too. I had the bourbon mule to drink and it was too sweet for my tastes. The ambience was ok but I sort of got a negative vibe from the 30+ minute wait for a server who was inches away from us and didn't notice we weren't being served.

Met and talked with the owner, sharing my limited food service experience as I listened to his fascinating story. The restaurant is part of American history, and is a business that always fascinated me. I've always thought successful restaurant owners, would be successful at most any endeavor because they are just such committed, hard workers, and this fella was a gauge for that rule. The happy hour food and drink prices are fabulous, and though I am a person of habit, everything Ive tried here was excellent, a good example would be the onion rings. Ordered these many times through the years, and it's amazing how many restaurants can't get them right. From the generous portion I was served, they were a hot crispy golden brown with no crumbs on the bottom of the basket, which tells me the frying oil is fresh and at perfect temperature. The regular bartender is one of the most knowledgeable and engaging, and while by myself, I'm always drawn into friendly conversation with the mostly couples that sit at the bar. The bar makes me feel like I'm at a local corner bar in the '70's or '80's, such friendly atmosphere. Wished I lived closer, as this would be a destination dining spot.

Let me be clear on this, we are one of two tables in the restaurant it is empty. -I had the NY strip it was burnt on the outside and served cold. - Had a side of gnocchi it a pesto sauce that was ok. The bottom line here folks is this , if you want a slightly better than sizzler steakhouse than this is your place. I won't be back.

Outdoor seating was available in both a large covered area where they also have entertainment of the weekends, but also on the deck---many tables on the deck also had umbrellas. Service was both prompt and welcoming. Tried a number of appetizers including their twisted pretzel, steamed shrimp, and the hush puppies. Pretzel served with a peppery pimiento spread---nice kick; steamed shrimp were on the larger size served with traditional cocktail sauce; and hush puppies with actual corn served with a creamy mustard sauce---interesting twist to hush puppies served with butter. Our one dinner option was their jerk chicken salad and there was a nice spiciness to it---worth a try. Lastly, tried one of their specialty margaritas and it did not disappoint---plenty for two!

Soul food in Hockessin? Yes!…read more This unit has gone through a number of changes over the past couple of years (Pat's Pizza, another pizza joint, a kebab place, and now Aunt Berta's), the decor is the same as Kebab. The new restaurant has opted for the same decor with a major shift in the cuisine offering. Owner is super nice and checked in on us a few times during our meal. We tried the fried chicken (!), collard greens (!), salmon cakes (meh), fried fish (!), cole slaw (!), and mac & cheese (!). While I think it's a little pricey, it's a great occasional dining option in the heart of Hockessin. It's a rarity, so I hope it sticks around.

Harry's responded and genuinely asked us to contact them so they could see what they could do better, so in fairness we did so as we never want to leave a negative review and then not give the restaurant the chance to make it right if they are willing. I spoke with the manager, John, who took the time to listen, and then asked if we would consider coming back so they could make it right for us. We are delighted to say our meal was outstanding from the warm bread, to our steak and lobster, to both our sides and an exquisite dessert. Our steaks were seasoned and cooked perfectly. Our Cocktails were both delicious and our waiter was wonderful. It's not only a great meal that will have us return once again to Harry's, but the fact that the restaurant truly cared about our experience wanting to make it right, which showed us compassion and integrity. Therefore, it is only fair to update our review and perhaps classify our previous experience as just an off day, but Harry's has more than made our experience exceptional this time, and we will certainly be dining there once again to enjoy a delicious meal!

Since we were getting down to Delaware later than planned, I looked up a couple of places that had…read moresome seafood options (apps and entrees) and ended up on this place. It doesn't seem like it from the outside but the place is pretty spacious inside, with one side filled with dining room tables/booths facing a stage and the other side with wrap around bar and hightops. Place had a good amount of people in there and a cover band was playing some rock hits while we were there + they were pretty decent lol. Staff were good - our waitress/bartender was very friendly, helpful (she suggested the wing sauce) and pm just attentive enough. We ended up ordered a round of drinks - the Hennything For Shore - and shared a few apps: Creamy Crab Dip, bone in Wings in sweet Thai chili sauce and Fried Shrimp. Everything was pretty good, especially the wings - they were fried nice with a good crisp but not overcooked so the meat was still tender in the inside. Good, chill spot for food and drinks.
