Harry O’s

Nice place to come to haven’t been here in yrs. Great service, love the food. It was on time and warm. My mom also enjoyed hers as well. Will have to come again with my boys.

No one in the place. I had to wait 5 min for my check, then wait 2 min for someone to come to registrar. Finally pay, be date how bad of s tip I want to leave. Get in my car, drive next door to Walgreens to pick up
Prescriptions and there’s my server standing in the drive thru lane! $ 2 tip was too much!

Harry O’s family restaurant has long been home to delicious American breakfast and brunch. With cheap meals, this diner made dinner for a family of three easily affordable. Since this was our first time here, we all decided it was best to get different platters and try each others. The waitress did a great job of making us feel like we were at home with a warm smile and easy-​going personality.
While waiting for the food to come out we took the time to take in the scenery. The outside is very misleading and doesn’t do the interior any justice. In contrast to the plain outside, the inside décor was well put. The antique images displayed along the walls gave the place a sort of aged feel accented with an overall elegant lighting.
Another pleasant surprise came our way as our food was placed before us in a timely fashion. With all the food now laid out in front of us, there was only one thing left to do: dig in. We all took out turns jabbing our knives and forks into the pork chops, mashed potatoes and gravy, first. The pork chop was perfectly cooked with simple seasonings, that had a dipping sauce on the side, to truly bring out the flavors. As for the mashed potatoes and gravy, the seasonings were just not there.
Next, was the chicken, where the finished product was juicy and simple. This platter also came with a delightful dipping sauce. Finally, the tuna melt, which was agreed on the best dish at the table, hands down. It was fresh, light, and clearly lived up to its name «melt.» The fries served with each dish were addicting, with just the right amount of salt, as well as the peppermint ice cream later served as dessert.
Overall, the meal was priced just right and the environment was amazing! We will definitely be back!

We have been going here for a few years because we can all find something we like on the menu. The service has always been very good. Check the date on the beer if you order… not rotated… the prices took a rather large increase just recently which makes it rather difficult to take the family out for a meal. Lemon rice soup is always good ($ 1add’l)!

The owner does not trust or like his customers. I tried to order for my two year old some breakfast. This is a to go order. He would not fill the order because he did not believe it was for a child. He has turned away to go orders when he says he is too busy. Food is not good. No taste. Never going back again.

Harry O’s is fine. It’s not the best I’ve eaten, nor is it the worse. Servers are friendly and the food comes out pretty quickly. It’s one of those places you can take or leave.

I remember how this place used to look before the fire. It looks awesome now! I think the food was better years ago but I was also younger. I really like coming here for brunch. Omelettes or pancakes are my usual choices. As for lunch I’ve only had their Italian beef and their chicken strips which were ok, but nothing to travel long distances for.

Stopped here for a quick breakfast on the way to work. The place was about half full. We were seated and served immediately. The breakfast food was good, presentation was fine, and it came out quickly. Our waitress was great with our refills as well.
Great ambience in this place. You wouldn’t expect it to look like it does on the inside by looking at the outside. It reminds me of a miniature Claim Jumpers if you have ever been
We will be back

I was very much not. impressed, especially having had dinner at George’s the night before and it beong amazingly delicious.
My husband ordered the gyros. The meat was clearly sliced and frozen. The sauce was bland, not. garlicky at all. The pita was stale.
I ordered skirt steak, Greek style. That usually means it is seasoned with pepper, oregano and basil and lemon is squirted on top. I ordered it med rare and. got it closer to the medium doneness than rare, but still decent. The Greek part however was just a dressing on. the side to put on the steak. It was cold and looked like bottled dressing, not even something mixed in house. I didn’t use it. It was too vinegar-​y.
My dad had ordered rotisserie chicken, but knowing how they make them in restaurants (i.e., ahead of time then reheated in a fashion so as not to dry it out), he asked if they would be able to put the Greek seasoning on it before putting it in the oven to roast through. He was a chef at a Greek family restaurant for a long time (oh and he is Greek) and it’s not like he is asking for something completely off the wall (did I mention I went to culinary school myself?). The server was completely confused and went to go ask, no biggie, right? Well she came back and not only said that it wasn’t possible to do that, she said that the cooks in the back would have no odea how to even do it. Rudely, I might add.
It turned out that their «Greek style» dressing could have easily been put over the chicken before popping it in the oven, but hey, it truly wasn’t possible.
I should also mention, the garlic dressing was thicker than heavy mayo and tasted sour. Their ranch was also sour. The French onion soup, while not salty at all, had dry grated cheese on top and chunks of soggy croutons in the soup, not served on top. French onion should have croutons, not soggy bread.
After our mediocre dinner, we were also served dessert. I was excited to learn they had peppermint ice cream, but when I got it, it was barely a half scoop, already nearly melted in a warm dish. Disappointing.
The whole meal seemed like it took more effort to eat than enjoy.

My husband and I met two other couples there for dinner last friday night and had a great time. Everyone really liked their food and you got a lot for the price. The dinners come with a bowl of soup and salad and a dessert. Service was ok, no real complaints and the atmosphere was cozy. It was my first time there and I’d defientely go back (if I’m ever out that way again).

Food is just okay. Nothing I would rave about, and definitely not somewhere I would go out of my way to visit. Undoubtedly, they always mess up my eggs, and I’ve learned it’s better to just order their pancakes… which are good. Service is fine, no complaints there. A good place to go when you’re looking for a lot of options.

I actually live in Cedar Lake. Although I don’t go to Harry O’s often, I have to say Jimmy (the «Greek» owner) makes some of the best ribs I have ever eaten. They need to enter in a rib cook-​off contest. The entire place is decorated in Cedar Lake History. When the rest. burned down they rebuilt and are showing the history from the turn of the century, so not to forget were we all come from! Try the ribs. If youhaven’t figured it out… I love the ribs!

Hit or miss (lately) and a bit pricey, but when they are on, it is worth the 4 star review! There are not many other places around here, and it’s the type of place where if you come often the servers will know your name because I swear it’s been the same servers forever! I like this place a lot! Solid family restaurant!

Food is good for the most part, service has gotten better over the years. It is a nice option when you don’t know what you want to eat. Fried Butterfly shrimp is good for dinner. Their breakfasts are good, however I have had way better biscuits and gravy before.

I’ve had several nice meals here. Most have included the melty, yummy 3-​cheese grilled cheese. Fries are great, soup is good, saganaki is good, cole slaw is pretty bad. One of my favorite restaurants for those rare times that I venture south of 30!

My husband and I are recent transplants from Chicago. Harry’s is a local place with decent food at a good price. It reminds of me of diner food. Their gyros are my favorite.
