Harmony Lunch

Its a cute diner that is from the 1930s, but it is really old inside and very dingy. I got there at 6ish and they close at 7 on weekdays. The burger was good, the onion rings were good and the milkshake was made with actual icecream. But the food wasn’t anything incredible.
Come for the experience!

Best greasy breakfast in Waterloo. My wife is Mexican-​Canadian and she loves it. I love it too. There’s a reason it’s been around for 85 years.

I overheard some seniors on the bus once, saying that the best burger in town was at The Harmony. I had always dismissed the place based on its outside appearance, but am always up for a good burger, so I gave it a shot. It is a unique flavor — seems to be somewhat like a sausage patty on a fresh bun. I always order it with extra fried onions. I do like the burger a lot, and always come back whenever I’m in town. Must have a chocolate shake to go with it. Yum.

Ultimate historic restaurant since the 30’s. The best, most unique hamburger & fried onion place period

I haven’t been for many yrs. and not living that far away I should make a visit (: do they still serve the hamburgers with lots of onions? but if I can remember right it was getting a little pricey for what you got, maybe that is the reason for not returning. but we sure enjoyed them when our daughter was going to dance lessons just up the street and headed in for our lunch afterwards. enjoyed the food very much.

Harmony Lunch is a time machine. Inside the 1930’s themed diner, is a sign stating the diner opened in 1930. I am pretty sure that sign was new then, and I am equally sure that is the newest update to the décor.
The restaurant apparently hasn’t changed since the 1930’s, and while 40 years ago, the place must have seemed out of date; it is amazing now to see that it has survived. Another point of interest is the kitchen. It is inside the dining room. You can actually watch your lunch being cooked. Not everything is out of date, the washrooms are modern and very clean.
I stopped in for breakfast the other morning with my wife. The food was great, and the service quick and friendly. Harmony Lunch is famous for their hamburgers which have been noted in several other reviews.
I look forward to my next visit to Harmony Lunch.
