  Harry's Roadhouse Review

  I've been there twice now. The first time was awesome, but after the treatment I had this evening I definitely won't back! After 20 minutes, I had to go to the bar to get my own water. My margarita sat on the bar that entire time while the ice melted into the drink (we could see it from our table but were unsure if it was ours until we saw our waiter FINALLY grab it and take it to us). My order was wrong and my husband was finished eating before they brought out my correct order. I told the waiter to forget it, but they brought it out anyway. They charged me for it, so I had to put it in a to-go box since we were ready to leave. I've never left a restaurant without eating, especially after driving 35 minutes to get there. They totally ruined our night. I won't be back!!!

  Harry's Roadhouse Review

  I am in SF on vacation for a week and Harry's was highly recommended by the people where I am staying, and several times I drove past Harry's thinking "maybe I'll go in tomorrow". Well, yesterday was that day and I have to say the recommendation was much appreciated. I was greeted at the door by a gentleman (possibly Harry himself) who was smiling and warm, my waitress was also smiling and warm... and the most amazing grill cheese with aged sharp cheddar, onions, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and baby spinach was warm... I am sure if it could it would have been smiling, but I sure was when I left Harry's after a most excellent meal. I will recommend Harry's to any of my friends that happen to find themselves in SF.

  Headed Downhill

  I have been eating at Harry's for years - and it has been my favorite place in Santa Fe for most of that time. However, they may have let their success go to their heads. There are often lines to get in - which means success, but not fun. The atmosphere is quite nice - casual - funky is a good word. Adobe dining room, intimate dining nook off bar, traditional diner-style room with a line of single tables and a grill, and a very lovely Pinon pine strewn patio out back. The food is eclectic, health-oriented, good sample of vegetarian, and some burgers, meatloaf, pork, and poultry. Waitstaff is mixed due to turn-over; and they seem to select based on hipness rather than experience. The owner and manager now seem to be grumpy and aloof - formerly jolly and inviting. All good things wear out - too bad.

  My last meal at Harrys

  I don't want to bash a restaurant in my hometown, but I have had several meals at Harry's over the past year. I eat there because in the past I have had some mixed experiences but mostly because it is close to my house and convenient. This evening I had my LAST meal at this place; overpriced ($11 enchilada...you have to be kidding me), the now famous Harry's "what will you do for me" service attitude and always a wait....even when there are open tables? I have friends that also live in the area and even though it is about the ONLY convenient restaraunt in the area, refuse to go back. This place is all about location because it wouldn't make it anywhere else in town where there are choices of where to eat.

  Locals May Love it, but.......

  How can such a dive get so many rave reviews? Food was poorly prepared and quite COLD when served. Service was so-so. Atmosphere was..... where was it? Atmosphere = no atmosphere? Menu itself was enough to put us off. Come on now.... Santa Fe MUST have better to offer than this.

  You could eat here every day

  We have neighbors from New York, who, when they remodeled their kitchen, ate at Harry's almost every day—and liked almost every meal. It is a wonderful restaurant on the outskirts of Santa Fe. They have a very eclectic menu: Mexican, hamburgers, meatloaf, Moroccan, Mediterranean, and wonderful specials. We order something different almost every time we go there—often the specials, if they sound good—and are almost always pleased with our meal. I would mention that their New Mexican food is tasty with mild-to-medium "heat."
  
  Service is friendly, and in the summertime, the outside patio is a great place to eat—or drink a good margarita. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are all good. As an added bonuses their food is very reasonably priced.

  Is going steadly down hill

  We live near Harry's and have gone three for years but the tourist are now showing up and the waits are longer (45 minutes), the service is poor (large turnover of help) and the owner (Harry) can be more than rude at times. We have decided it is time to find a better place to eat even if it means driving into Santa Fe.
