Been here a couple of times now and enjoyed both experiences. Food and service were both good and the beer selection is excellent.

Very good quality/price ratio, we had a clam chowder and a burger and both were great and tasty. The service, albeit a little slow, was very good and spot on the recommendations
Definitely we would go again if we visit Fredericksburg again.

Was very disappointed after looking up online to see if Harry’s on William Street was going to be open today. We drove all the way across town to eat there we get there and they are closed. Please update your website so that people don’t waste their time and an inclement weather to go eat at your restaurant.

I’ve ate here before… but tonight left me saying “wtf”. I took this photo of my carnitas nachos that i requested be substituted with chicken because of a pork allergy. Left so much to be desired. Our server would disappear and when asked questions or for things, she was just aloof. My bill was $50 for the nachos, a single basil Hayden, a Dr. Pepper, a virgin mojito, and the automatic gratuity for our group. Ouch.

Dietary restrictions: Honored our request to sub pork for chicken due to an allergy but it was extremely bland.

We were here for lunch. Not crowded or busy, so I have no idea what was happening. Our server was pleasant but service overall was SLO-O-O-OW.

Was very enthusiastically told to go here for an authentic beef on weck by a local. Being from the western NY/NW PA area, I love the sandwich and have had many. This sandwich tasted very old. They had the proper roll, tasty aujus and good fries. But the meat on the sandwich was dry, tough, and tasted very old. (Gamey and tough) pretty disappointed when hearing the owner was from Western NY that this would be acceptable. Go Bills.

We go to Harry’s Harrison crossing a few times a week and we LOVE IT. We also go downtown a few times a week and we constantly give Harry’s downtown a chance. We have never had a good experience there. Something is always off. It’s to the point where if we want to go downtown and know we don’t have to wait for a seat we go to harrys. Today 1/11/25 we went to watch playoff football. Let me set the scene- 11 patrons total in the bar area. About 6-7 in the dining area. Every single person in the bar area was there to watch football the ONLY game playing right now is greenbay/eagles. The bartender graciously turned the volume on to the game. He was then told by management they are not allowed to play the volume with an exception to commanders and Steelers games. After we talked with management- we closed our tabs leaving 7 people in the bar area with three other ladies leaving shortly behind us.

We left harrys downtown and came to Harry’s Harrison crossing where they agreed if everyone at the bar was okay with it they would turn the volume up for this game. Do better Harry’s downtown.

My wife and I went to Harry's ale house (downtown )yesterday for lunch and I just felt the need to say how good the food was. We've got a 5 and a 2 yr old and we had grandparent coverage for an hourish so we decided to go out to eat for the first time in six months. I've been to both locations, probably two dozen times, and gotten the burger of the week 80% of the time, almost always unique and almost always great, but yesterday I tried the Big Shrimp sandwich and it just solidified how everything I try there is good. The huge perfectly breaded shrimp were just falling off the bun because there were too many to fit (if that sounds like a problem, it wasn't). The bun was perfectly toasted. We got the crab dip too, one of our favorites.

Anyway, I'm not trying to sound like a corny commercial or anything, but when you have so little time to go out and so few opportunities it can feel amazing to have it go perfectly, so thanks to Harry's! If you haven't

(One Note... the sad country music was a little off-putting, there is perfectly fine country music in the world, but I feel like the music should be 10% quieter and 100% less sad sack songs about cheating. Any station that plays the Luke Combs version of Fast Car should create shame in whoever turned it on.)

Our office rented one of the spaces for a dinner recently. The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. Highly recommend, cannot wait to take my husband there!

Vegetarian options: One of my coworkers and friends is a vegetarian and she said the vegan ravioli was awesome. Everything was so good, I didn't have enough room to try it.

Can be slower at times, but worth the wait. Fresh food, great drink selection, table available every time we've visited. Hoping to try the Sidecar location soon

Hostess seated us, then nothing. A waitress walked by us numerous times and never said a word to us. Another family walked out before us.
