Harry’s Steakhouse & Banquet Center

The food is tasty I will give it that, but the place is dark and eerie, I’m sure its suppose to make it seem fancy but it just makes it feel like they will stab with that steak knife. Not to mention it took us eons just to get some gosh darn bread.

I gotta give Harry’s four stars based on our recent visit. We called ahead to take my parents out for a steak dinner. When we arrived, we waited approximately two minutes and then six of us were seated. Our waitress showed up quickly and took our drink orders. She was fast and friendly the entire night. Everyone ordered steak except for me, who loves chicken, mushrooms, and onions. I ordered a side of veggies too. We were served bread and a large bowl of salad, which was really good. The restaurant is really large and they were very busy, but they still brought our food pretty quickly.
My chicken was very tasty as were the shrooms and onions. Also, my steamed veggies were nicely seasoned and they were tasty. I really liked my meal. The steaks looked and tasted very good — much better than on our last visit.
I didn’t think we’d come back here, but the other steak houses were jam packed on a Friday at 7pm. We got right in! I will visit again.

I go to Harry’s fairly regularly also get take out. (Great big tasty burgers!) Last time had two grilled pork chops, very good. Came with a little portion of baked apples… nice touch and a loaded baked potato and unlimited salad with blue cheese dressing and crumbled blue cheese and warm rolls with cinnamon butter. Waitress was very nice!

I really liked Harry’s. My daughter and I went there last night before a show and we were greeted immediately and shown to our seats. The staff was very friendly and our waitress was very helpful. (She even poured my glass of wine herself because the bar staff was busy and she felt I had waited long enough!) My daughter got the sirloin steak with garlic mashed potatoes and said everything was really good. I got the prime rib and au gratin potatoes. Both our steaks were cooked perfectly. The potatoes were very good, too. I’ve had really greasy au gratin potatoes before but these were really good. Prices are very reasonable, too. For the 2 of us, it was about $ 43.00 which included my glass of wine and my daughter’s lemonade. They have a 2 for $ 16.95 dinner menu that looks really good and the price can’t be beat. I quickly looked at the happy hour menu and it looked like they had a decent food selection as well as drink prices. We will be back.

I went to the prime rib special last night and it was outstanding. They have to have one of the top 3 prime rib dinners in northeast Ohio. Everything is always cooked exactly as requested and it’s always great!
Every time I’ve been here the food and service was top notch.

40 minute drive NOT worth it, so sad was favorite. have kids so always attend when NOT rush time, early dinners. latest experience same as others, slow slow service-​have to flag down for rolls or refills and check and box. food not consistent. dealt with manager «harry» unsure if owner but reeked of cigarettes and appeared intoxicated-​hassled me on $ 5 kids meal being free-​downright rude for $ 5-​had better customer service @ McDonalds-​that $ 5 was added back to my bill and literally cost them my business-​bad service too much for me. Potato wasn’t fully cooked or split-​steak mostly fat, I will stick to Longhorn.

Harry’s is my go to steakhouse in the Cleveland area. Great steaks at an affordable price, and better than your neighborhood chains like Longhorn and Outback.
Harry’s has an «old school» rustic atmosphere similar to Texas Roadhouse. We will sometimes dine here with a party of 10 or more and it’s never an issue because they have plenty of seating and full bar area as well. Good selection of menu items raging from apps to sandwiches, steaks, seafood, chicken, & burgers.
Prime rib, Ribeye, and Delmonico Steaks are always tender and delicious. Never had to send something back. Entrees come with «family» style all you can eat salad (house dressing fantastic) which is a nice addition along with hot rolls.
Located in a nice area where you can go out to the bars after or catch a movie at Valley View.

Better service could have left me with a better taste in my mouth about Harry’s. A pretty cool place out in the Independence area with great prices. It has mixed remnants of other places. Family style salad like olive garden with no cheese add chick pea, rolls like Logans Steakhouse soft and sweet. They serve them with regular and cinnamon butter. I preferred regular butter.
Wooden booths and red checkered table clothes with white butcher paper made me think ‘standard steakhouse’ but the place is huge. Anyway, back to the service. 4 top table, not needy, having to flag down for refills and really had to ask for any need when she came by to check up. Then, once the check was paid, she never came back to clear dirty plates, or serve drink refills while we chatted for 30 minutes more when they weren’t very busy. I saw the tip, it was a full 20% so it wasn’t that.
I ordered the chopped steak and it was perfectly fine. I did need A1, but that’s pretty typical unless the meat is something stellar. Got the baked potato side– it came unsplit, which I found odd.
Dad got the bacon wrapped filet. Loved it. Brother got the center cut chops and sweet potato. The latter is a good use for that cinnamon butter. Uncle got the lobster tails. He seemed to enjoy them.
We drove 45 minutes to get to this place and I wouldn’t do that again, but for that area it’s a good dinner option for those who like steakhouses. Just hope your service is more on their game.

Went to Harry’s today for the Thanksgiving buffet. First, let me say how organized the staff was I n the face of being slammed. We had a 4pm reservation, got there at 340pm and were seated at 405pm. We both had the buffet — veggies, mashed, stuffing, pasta, and carve to order ham, roast beef and turkey. The meal included a family style salad bowl served at the table, delicious rolls, and a dessert buffet. By the way, Maria was an outstanding waitress! We sat in the main dining room and my only complaint was that the restaurant was so full it was difficult navigating between the tables to get to the buffet. All in all, a great experience for a very reasonable price — buffet was $ 24.95/adult. We will return to sample the regular menu.

First time there in years. Food was phenomenal, except for the salad. All iceberg lettuce and the tiniest bit of tomato. Prime rib perfectly cooked, great horseradish sauce, potatoes and veggies.
And the rolls and butter are melt in your mouth.
My date didn’t care for the large amount of mayo on her flounder, but it was good.
I wasn’t too thrilled with the service towards the end of our meal. Our waitress, Maja, forgot about us after our last refill. She was efficient until we had to wait 10 minutes, then my date went to get a box for our leftovers because Maja didn’t come back. Then Maja rushed over to our table ready to tackle my girl for helping herself to a to-​go box. Not quite, but she seemed perturbed.
Some of the busboys and servers also felt like they had the right of way when they were walking through, even the ones with nothing in their hands. No ’ excuse me’ or stepping to the side to let a customer through. I understand if they have a tray, but to just walk right in front of you is quite rude.
We got our check, which was VERY reasonable considering the amount and quality of food.
Overall I would definitely go back again.

Very disappointed in our service tonight, the server Jenna was very unprofessional, I will not be coming back to this restaurant in the future.

This is a homestyle steak house. The atmosphere is very old style A small step above the chains.
French onion soup was below par. The prime rib was well seasoned and cooked to a perfect mid-​rare. Sides are very homemade looking and lacking elevation.

Go here all the time with my girls. Service is always good, & food is consistently made well. The dinner rolls with cinnamon butter is excellent as well. Always recommend this place to people. And, it is near the movie theater so we can grab dinner afterwards.

Stopped here visiting the Cleveland area. Rolls and salad were very good. I got the Flounder stuffed with crabmeat which was out of this world. My fiancé got the 8 oz sirloin which was cooked perfectly. Our server, Julie, was super attentive and very nice! The only downside was that we were seated next to an obnoxious fat lady who was loud and overbearing, especially after not getting her steak prepared right!

I’m giving 3 stars just because I was visiting Cleveland and didn’t really have much expectation for a place like this. I can’t say I was impressed but it is a lower level steak house.
The food was actually good, I enjoyed the family style salad and ordered the filet medium rare with sweet potato .
The steak was cooked perfectly and the sweet potato with the cinnamon butter is delicious. We were a big group and everyone ordered different steaks and everything looked really good, the Pinot noir was pretty good for being the house. light to medium body with hints of stone fruits and cherries. The wine paired great with my leaner filet cut .
I was disappointed by the management and the lack of hospitality from both the owner and his management staff. They were not accommodating and a bit rude. honestly didn’t see a single smile come out of there face which shows to me that they are either in the wrong business or doing it wrong .
I was also disappointed to see that they didn’t offer sparkling water as a water option. however during my visit, I realized a few places in Cleveland do not carry it .
To end on a lighter note, even though the restaurant is old, dark and outdated. It was actually clean and well maintained.

Well the place is very outdated inside. Dark as if right out of the late 70s or early 80s. With that being said, the food is OK at best. The bread and salad are pretty good. Steaks are descent. I’ve have had the ribeye, sirlion, and fillet. All were close to what I ordered, some over some under. I don’t know about drink prices as I drink water in a restaurant.
It is a nice break from the big chain steak houses. I do like to support a local small business when I can.
With a remodel and some expirence d cooks this would be a great place to get a steak!

This place is dark and danky.
We were told they had prime rib and then 20 minutes later were told they didn’t have it.
We spoke to the manager Nick and he said «TOO BAD»…
I have never been treated like such crap… in a crap dank place…
Service =0
Food=2

Came here for my grandfathers birthday with the family to celebrate. My expectations certainly weren’t high, but still everything was extremely underwhelming, and just «ok.» The service was ok. The atmosphere is actually pretty cute and I like the open concept kitchen with glass windows where I you can watch it being cooked but really just a cute novelty. The food was ok. All of the steaks were kind of a crumbly consistency and almost all of the 6 steaks ordered were overcooked. You do get a large amount of food but the quality is very… eh. No, it’s not Mortons nor XO and I never expected that out of this joint, but keeping that in mind for the price I’ve been a lot more impressed with bigger chain joints like Texas Roadhouse. I won’t be giving it a second chance.

Just finished an amazing ½lb burger while out to dinner with my wife and son. Our burgers were cooked exactly to our liking. We added mushrooms and onions to our burgers and definitely got our money’s worth. It’s nice when you find a place that doesn’t skimp out or cut corners. I grew up in the area and used to go there a lot up until the time we moved about 8 years ago. Boy am I glad Harry’s is as good as I remember!
Another quick point: we got there late Saturday afternoon and were seated without a wait. The server was good and he even brought out our son’s dessert early so my wife and I could finish our meals. We will be back.

This is a solid 3 star place. Most likely, it will never be any better than that. I have Given Harry’s so many second chances. and i figured out why. The rolls and cinnamon butter. The even bigger burger is pretty good too. If you are going for a steak, i wouldn’t if i were you. In the 10 – 15 years i have been going here, they have never cooked one to correct temperature. (although they came close Saturday…) I hear the prime rib is good, however thats just not my thing.
I dont know what it is with places like Harrys. There must be a hormone in your brain that over time makes you forget how not-​so-​good they are and you go back every 5 years and you are like. Oooohh thats why i dont eat there. Similar to the Ponderosa phenomenon or pregnancy.
The bar is nice and the outside patio is always completely vacant. If you want to have a nice quiet drink, that your best bet.
