TL:DR - If you want to try THE seafood restaurant in Lynchburg, this place might be it. Service is superb. I enjoyed the food and the service here both times I went.The food, theme and the service were all superb. Considering we are in the heart of Lynchburg, this place won't let you down in filling you up with good food. The taste of the food was more than what I expected considering we are in the heart Lynchburg. This is not the Pacific or anything. I expected the food to be slightly on the salty side since it's seafood. The large portion size not only filled me up during the visit but also to take some back home. They do not have lemon wedge, which was a bit odd for me since I am so used to eating seafood with lemon. For service, I will rate at highest mark. The waiters are continually checking up on you and make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your meal. I also personally found their props and decor to be enjoyable. I did wish the whole area was brighter though.

In my 70+ years, I've eaten at a lot of seafood restaurants and Harbor Inn is one of the best! The food and service is great and their prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend the place to my friends and family.

The decor is wonderful for a seafood place but my tators and sausage were over cooked, my wife's shrimp was cold and her baked potato was over cooked as well......

We got there around 530 on a Friday, it wasn't crowded when we got there but boy did it get crowded!! But the staff was on top of it. Our waiter was awesome! He clearly does his job well. He stayed on top of our drinks & anything else we needed. The food was great! A literal mountain of seafood. If you leave here hungry, it's your own fault. Everything is hot and cooked to perfection. Will definitely return next time we come thru the area.
Beware if the fish is undercooked and you don’t want to wait another 40 minutes for a replacement (because your table finished eating while you waited on the waiter to return), you will be charged for what you you ate!!!$8 for a baked potato and a bowl of lettuce and cheese…the other dishes were great, the flounder just needed more time - it happens - but that is the petty way they handle the situation.

I've been coming here since I was a little kid. My grandparents used to love coming to Harbor Inn whenever they could. The food has always been amazing, I've literally never in my life heard a single real complaint nor have I had to send anything back. I absolutely love this place. One of my favorite restaurants.
