Harry's Roadhouse

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!!! more

Harry and Peyton have kept this place's spirit, rustic but clean and comfortable look, great classic and new dishes and desserts, fast and good bartenders, warm fires, beflowered patio, and hence the crowds, intact for a long time now (I've been coming since 1993). Tourists and locals are equally welcome, and although I haven't worked there, some of the staff have been there for many years, which suggests that maybe Harry's not so bad!! Pros: Always a good meal and a great vibe Cons: At peak hours, may have to wait more

I have been going to Harry's on and off for 14 years and the owners have not acknowleged me once. The food is average and very high fat but the deserts are usually worth the visit more

BLAND, disappointing, This is our third time trying Harry's, strike 3 your out! Breakfast was very bland, Ham special was actually seasoned well, but I felt like I was eating beef jerkey. Breakfast potatoes nice portion no seasoning. Service was actually good this time and the manager was receptive to my feedback on the ham. Oh yeah, need to try a new coffee blend.....one word YUCK! Pros: Easy to get to Cons: Unseasoned food more

My wife and I stopped there on Sunday and enjoyed a wonderful New Mexican lunch but most of all I enjoyed the the tangy, not too sweet margaritas that ""taste like you're drinking something"" and the friendly bar maid and bar customers. What a friendly place! It's my favorite place to stop when I'm in that part of santa Fe. Pros: food, service, friendly staff Cons: parking is tough more

This is an average restaurant with an owner who can be rude.....not a good idea, Harry.\r I'm a local who ends up here to meet friends on this end of town when I can't persuade them elsewhere.\r I think we're all willing to ""eat average"" but if the staff and owner are indifferent, that's a problem. more

My husband and I had an excellent lunch at Harry's, June 14th, 2008. We were thoroughly pleased with Harry's. This was my second visit and my husband's first. I had the vegetarian special, which included tomatoes (eeek!) but our great waitress carefully explained their origin and assured us they were not part of the scare.\r We enjoyed being seating outside on the back porch, where we had a good view of the delightful patio. Our chatty waitress was attentive and dependable. She must be a favorite, since we heard a couple ask for her as they were seated.\r The staff works quickly and efficiently. The food and service met our expectations. We tipped over 20% and were happy to do so.\r Harry's daily specials on soup, salad and entrees make the menu even more interesting and there are plenty of unique offerings. The beer list is not too long and is good, including some Mexican choices, which goes over great with my crowd! We will return to Harry's and recommend it without hesitation. more

This isn't the place to go for a gourmet meal, unless you're talking desserts. It's the place to meet friends, have good, hearty food, and enjoy the wait staff. Regulars are cherished, and get more love from the staff when Harry's is their Cheers Bar, but I've almost always found the service to be pleasant, and often friendly, and almost always competent. I've eaten at Harry's off and on for 7 years. You can sit at the counter, like a diner, in the bar (which is a full bar: beer, wine, hard stuff) on stools or at the bar, or in one of the three dining rooms or even outdoors when the weather is nice. Some folks may have had a single bad experience at Harry's and written a scathing review here in revenge. Pfooey: every waiter, every restaurant, will fumble now and then. The line is long during tourist season, but the rest of the year, when there's a line, it's often a good time to meet and chat with strangers. And on Harry's worst day, it's worth coping with some temporary snarliness to get to his wife, Peyton's, pies and other desserts.\r \r Bottom line: if you're looking to put a notch on your Michelin dining belt, there are many better places in Santa Fe to get that done. But if you're looking for dependably good food from a diverse menu, atmosphere, and service and a place for enjoying the company of friends and strangers, Harry's is the Great American Neighborhood Party in a restaurant. Pros: food, service, atmosphere Cons: sometimes long lines more

The busy parking lot made us hopeful, but once inside the food and the service were both disappointing. All of the dishes were bland. Cons: Bland food, poor service more

We are locals and have gone to Harry's many times but everytime we go the wait is longer and the last time we went the food was cold and Harry was in a bad mood and was rude to everyone. Not going back. Pros: If you live in Eldorado it is close Cons: The owner needs to improve his attiude towards his customers. He is just rude. more

It's always great to be remember - greeted by even busy wait staff. From the special veggie salads - to incredible salmon plates, coconut curry carrot soup (that I could not get enough of) and finally, special consideration to my dog, the Sade burger; always done the way she loves to snarf it up. Love the funky ambience, the garden and the wait staff, even though in a Harried frenzie, remember what I love. To top it all off, the fabulous deserts and when I thought they could not be topped, she created the orgazmic peanut butter chocolate pie. OMG It took 5 months to relocate and now we live here and Harry's is always the meeting place that is familar, a good take out or just to sit with friends - dogs and chat about our horses and eat great food. Very creative Thank you!! RELOCATE and glad Pros: wait staff, food & deserts!! Cons: Bucky more

We have eaten here at least a half a dozen times and the food has always been excellent. There is usually a wait and they do not take reservations but the food is great and very reasonably priced. Do not wast your time going to Bobcat Bites down the road where we recently had to wait an hour and a half. Pros: Excellent food Cons: wait for a table except off peak times more

Funcky atmosphere and no wine license might scare you away but its worth it. Great food and locals drink a glass in the parking lot before they come inside. The steak melts in your mouth. Pros: the food Cons: ambience more

We weren't expecting this type of restaurant when we arrived. It was extremely casual - very non-attentive.... nothing really special about the food, but many, many merchants in town told us we just had to go to Harry's Road House. It was hard to find a parking place off the Old Pecos Trail (very busy frontage road to I-25). Cool sign and colorful frontage. I just wasn't impressed with the overall product..... sorry! more

I have always had a good experience at Harry's Roadhouse. Sometimes there is a wait but it doesn't take long to get seated. The service is good, the menu has great variety and I have seen several celebrities at this favorite local spot. This is like home cooking when yoiu're too lazy to cook at home. From vegetarian thai curry to meatloaf sandwiches, you can't go wrong! Pros: great food, people watching, great value Cons: sometimes crowded, on the edge of town more

Skip to tourist spots and get to Harry's. New Mexican comfort food at the best, whether breakfast or dinner. Usually crowded so don't let that deter you. Top quality ingredients, prepared with style and flavor. Pros: funky, high quality, great service Cons: crowded more

Not cheap? Always crowded. Not good for groups. Small and compact seating. Great views outdoor. The bar is the old garage. Go there one time for sure. Pros: Good for couples., Good views., Out of town. Cons: Usually crowded, Resevation don't mean, Limited handicap park more

We eat at Harry's Roadhouse about once a week. The food is SUPERB! The staff is courteous, attentive, accomodating, and knowledgable. Harry's is at the top of our list for entertaining visitors to Santa Fe. more

Moved away and we think about this place all the time. Wish I could start up a franchise here in Tucson. Hang out in the bar, chat with Chad, enjoy a margarita (Hornitos & Grand Marnier), and sample some of the dinner specials. more
