Delicious food and great service. One of my favorite restaurants in town.
When someone complained about the canned green beans, this is the owners response... "Our garden doesn’t have harvestable green beans in May so yes... we get our green beans from a supplier." So let me understand this response... is this owner claiming they have a green bean garden in the back of the restaurant? LMAO!! Instead, the owner's response should have been... I apologize. We will try to NEVER AGAIN serve boiled, bland, mushy, canned green beans and pass them off as fresh. What a joke... this is NOT HOW YOU RUN A RESTAURANT. You will not make it in a small town like this. People talk and word of mouth MATTERS in small towns. Learn how to run a restaurant with fresh food... AND DON'T PRETEND LIKE YOU HAVE A FRESH GARDEN IN YOUR BACK YARD... LOLOLOL
My friend and I visited here recently and it was amazing! I had the pork chops that were so tasty and my friend had the salmon which she enjoyed! The staff was very friendly and our server, Jamie, was superb! We will definitely be back!
I’ve heard great things about J Harrods for years and finally decided to try it out. I was not disappointed. The place is nice without being pretentious, and the food is delicious and reasonably priced.
We went Saturday after my son’s UL graduation (bonus that the owner was so kind about my anxiety about what exact time we would make a reservation since we didn’t know exactly when graduation would be over). Everything was SO good and more upscale than expected for food and ambiance (in a good way). Most of us got the filet special and all said whoever cooked that steak knows what they’re doing- perfect, melt in your mouth awesome. We were all passing around our plates for the other things ordered so everyone could taste how good it all was. Our server was clearly busy with a good crowd there but she was always attentive to us. We will definitely be back and even my picky father said it’s definitely a place he needs to bring his even pickier sister and brother-in-law to and that’s a win!
This restaurant is an absolute delight The service is fast and friendly and they are always pleasant to interact with the food absolutely to die for guy personally recommend the fried chicken the cabbage casserole and the Caesar salad all made with extreme care and they are absolutely delicious the chicken melts in your mouth in the casserole reminds you of something that your grandmother used to make I love going here especially with my family and the atmosphere makes me want to keep coming back.
J. Harrod's is a local gem in the Prospect area. Everything is fresh, service is excellent, and there are daily and weekly specials. Even if you have a big stomach, some of the large entrees will be difficult to finish! Live music is available occasionally, and outdoor seating is available when the weather is nice.We will definitely return again and will update my review if anything changes!
Great piano music! Good food. I had the special salmon in an orange-maple sauce. It was delicious. My date enjoyed the prime rib. Portions were generous, but the right amount for dinner. I suggest sticking with the wine and beer menu; mixed drinks were okay, but there's a reason we didn't order a second round.
Ambience and service were very good. Good piano player who understood he is not the star of a show in a loud bar. Everyone we spoke to was very pleasant and professional.The food was another story. Chicken livers had a grainy/ sandy texture. Not good. Fried chicken? I guess. Blindfolded I would have been unable to tell you if I was eating fried chicken or a fried towel. No flavor. I've never understood how so many restaurants survive serving unseasoned food. But it happens all the time.In summary? 4 stars for ambiance and service. 0 stars for the food.
We were visiting from out of town and wanted a nice dinner close to where we were staying. That’s why we chose J Harrods. It’s a lovely and cozy local restaurant. Reminds you of restaurant from the 60s and 70s. Even though it was Saturday, on Valentine’s Day weekend, we were able to get an early reservation. The dining room had a romantic feel with candles and flowers on every table. We totally enjoyed the live music! The prime rib was good, but not outstanding. I had two sides...mushrooms that were wonderful and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were served with a brown gravy. Next time I will order the mashed potatoes plain. The chocolate cake with chocolate sauce and fresh whipped cream was amazing. Our server, Anna, was very attentive and she never made us feel rushed even though it was a busy night. We will return the next time we are in the area.

This place is under new management. The old fashioned comfy environment is the same, but the food is much improved! Live music is delightful but not overwhelming. Service is fantastic. We love you, Clarissa!
Like a lot of restaurants, they are shorthanded. But staff is earnest and food is good. I tried the basa grilled and it was cooked perfectly.
