HUGE SHOUT OUT TO HARRY's! I organized a Christmas Staff party and had food catered. I ordered over 60 souvlakis, 3 trays each of rice, potatoes, salad. We got pita and tzatziki galore. The staff was soooooooo impressed. You guys were a total hit! Sooooo much food left over. The meat was incredibly tender. Everything had so much flavour. Thank you thank you thank you!
Definitely gone down hill. Used to be so much better. Went for poutine and I sucked. Used to use cheddar cheese better gravy etc. the new style tasted horrible. My wife’s been going for years and we both agreed that it’s not the same It’s a shame they decided to change the way they make stuff maybe there not using the same product as before even the burgers and fries don’t taste the same.
Their home made burger and the chicken souvlaki dinner are amazing! Generous portion. Plus the very nice owners are the bonus 👍👍👍
Harry's has changed immensely... hamburgers have a strange spice I'm pretty sure it's cumin... wasn't cooked all the way thorough... the gravy had no flavour... not the same and spent 25 bucks for 2 hamburgers and fries with gravy and an order of onion rings which were the frozen kind...
CASH ONLY!!! Great place and amazing service. The gyro on a pita was only $6.30 which is so crazy. The service was quick and staff was very friendly. I will definitely be coming back and trying out things on the menu.
5 stars! Hidden scarboro gem, cash only! We bought 3 cheese burgers and a large fries and 3 drinks, roughly $25 which is great value for the money the portions are very generous. Classic bun, the best pickles I’ve ever had, delicious burger. The patty itself is just a standard frozen burger, but it’s got that classic childhood nostalgia. The service was great, the chefs and the woman on the cash were super friendly. I will definitely come back, want to try the Greek salad and souvlaki here, they were pumping them out and they looked amazing. Can’t beat the price and classic tastes of this place! Thanks Harry’s!
Came here as I heard of this spot and I was in the area. Ordered steak on a Kaiser and a Greek salad to go. I was a little dissaponted that it cost around 20$ for both. The staff was friendly but very preoccupied as this place had a good amount of a customers at a time, however the wait was in a timely manner. The steak was juicy and flavorful, the bun was a little big and fluffy. The Greek sale Awad very good with a good amount of eqch topping. The dressing was a good amount and was spread throughout the salad which many places might miss. Would definitely come back here again however for the burger and maybe some fries. The ambiance is average for most old school diners with seating on a bench outside. Support local businesses especially ones that have been in the neighborhood for a long time.
I love the onion rings here! I often come just for those. They remind me of donuts. Onion rings donuts. The dough is large and fluffy but crispy on the outside. They aren't your typical onion rings, but in a good way. Their cheapest hamburger isn't good and uses processes tasting meat. But the homemade burger is great (the upgrade burger)! They make their own patties for it. The food is always freshly made, well worth the price!!
What happened to this place, the poutine almost has no cheese, the chicken souvlaki dinner has a lot less actual chicken...do not recommend
Complete crap nothing right only meat on a pita sold as a gyro these guys are a complete scam dont be fooled they also wont answer the phone to correct my order and i have no cash left to re order anything else such a scam complete crap
I always enjoy my homemade burgers.
I think is one of the best burguers in Toronto!!!!!
Great authentic food old school and amazing service
Wasn t worth of price. Worst veggie burger I have ever had. Fries were also soggy, there wasn t any ketchup or sauce with the burger or fries. 0 rating food.
Scarborough staple. Been going here for over 20 years. Ownership has changed but quality remains the same. Would highly recommend the souvlaki dinner.
Great place. Food is fresh, not processed. Family run business. Best home comfort food in the city.
Pretty average. Dont forget to bring cash otherwise u gotta e-transfer after being called malaka.
The Best Team, Serving Our All Time Favorites, for Over 70 Years!
Sign on door says closed through August 2024, so Im not sure how theyre getting reviews during August?!? Are they real reviews?
Harrys is The Real Deal
Love this little hamburger place. Good food good prices. A little piece of memory lane from my childhood. I now take my daughter there and she loves it too!
The menu prices raised $5 from the menu 3 months ago! Thats crazy. $14.50 for a burger combo. This place used to be so good but last time I paid extra for their homemade burger and they gave me a regular frozen one. I dont know what happened to this place.
Great place for homestyle lunches
The food here is always excellent and they have cozy seating, both Inside the Restaurant and Outside.
This restaurant is my go-to for Greek food when you want something quick, relatively priced, and good tasting.
Jump back to the 70s or 80s great food real fun place . Im 54 and it was like eating at your favorite high school joint back in the day. Hard to find these little classic places. Food
As old as Johnnys and the burgers are big. Great combo deals that are still priced low.
Casual dining. Take-out. Ordered homemade burger combos and homemade cheeseburger. Very friendly, fast service. Hamburgers tasted great. French fries are freshly made. Cheeseburger was great. All their food is great. We didnt have a salad this time but highly recommend. Harrys is clean, well-organized. Limited indoor sitting. Free parking. Been here for many years. A neighborhood favorite. Parking: Lots of spots. Located in a strip mall just a separate building.
Ordered pick up on doordash but we came early with kids and pizza we dine in outside table kids got hungry while waiting for our order and they said we can t sit and eat because we have pizzas from pizza nova. I always order here ever since the first owner now they lost a customer
Great little burger place.
This place is an absolute hidden gem in Scarborough. Food is fresh, flavourful and bountiful. The prices are very reasonable and affordable. Love their tzatziki! Fresh and refreshing. I believe its homemade from the taste. If you are looking for a quick and delicious meal at an affordable price....this is the place to be.
6.95 plus tax and tip for 3 strips of frozen gyro...... Shameful.
A GREAT SPOT, please keep the steak sandwich.
Clean restaurant.
Awesome food at great price
Great food at great price Parking: Its a plaza so there is ample parking Food : 5/5 |
One of the last old-school burger joints around. Great tasting burger and onion rings. Excellent value while remaining very tasty. Family run and it shows (in the best way). Great service and a variety of choices. Need to drop by again to experience the rest of the menu. Parking: Plenty of spaces available
Great food 10 bucks for home made burger and fries and pop
This might be the best food in Scarborough. I dont know what they put on their salad, but its the best dressing Ive ever had. Nothing Ive had has ever flopped and I eat here pretty regularly. I love seeing familiar faces and get a genuine friendly hi! every time. Its a proper old school mom and pop, no gimmicks just good food. As an aside, dunno if its ownership that also works it, but there are some folks who are *always* working and I just wanna say thank you, I hope you all take a vacation soon bc youre like never not working.
Good burger! The restaurant takes only cash so be sure to have some on hand. They do have an ATM inside but it wasnt working at the time we went.
I had the Homemade Burger combo with fries through UberEats. The burger itself was nicely seasoned and tastes good, however the bun to meat ratio was heavy on the bun side. Its not really their fault, but I would order the Homemade Burger next time with an extra patty. The buns were toasted and all the toppings tasted fresh. As for the fries, they were very under seasoned and it tasted like the oil they used to fry it was old. Definitely would not recommend the fries.
anything you liked about this place is gone. The new owners are dishing out some real garbage. And they know it. They changed all the food. go to Kathys on Kennedy, way way better. doesnt even compare to this garbage
Been coming here for over 30years number one place for home burger and fries, real beef burgers and big burgers
Been coming here for decades. The last three times we ordered.....something is different. The hamburgers are different, the onion rings (Which they were known for) has changed, the fries are different. It appears like all the food suppliers have changed. I suspect the business has sold and the new owner has just decided to ruin a great thing. Go to Kathys ....far better value for you money and tastes amazing as well. The new owners have taken the Special out of this place. So Sad :(
I liked the fresh fries in the Poutine I ordered, but the sauce was not great, and there wasnt enough cheese. They need to improve on this!!
Their homemade burger was awesome, very friendly people,will definitely be back.. Parking: Lots of parking.
Fun local spot for a midday burger.
Awesome burgers guys!
Absolutely delicious :) the chicken souvlaki is incredible!!!
Great food ! Always!
The food is amazing, the service is the best! The prices are awesome! You wont be disappointed
Food was great! Loved the Greek fries and the bifteki wrap. Definitely would go back and try some other stuff on the menu. Prices were reasonable and service was awesome.
Amazing Greek food and friendly service. Try the Bifteki
The food is good, been going for years as I Went to the highschool across the street and became familiar with the restaurant. My favourite is their banquet burger and poutine fries.
The service is nice and friendly, I tried the poutine, baklava and the homemade burger, it was okay next time I will try the Greek food selection. Good spot for a quick bite.
Very good portion and packaging
The staff here are 10 stars out of 5!
Been coming to the spot before the had the TVs displaying the menu. Of the best burgers you can ever find and poutines as well. Portions are really good and the staff are the nicest :)
He is the only one professional in Canada!!!!! Amazing food,very top quality products, Very clean store. I recommend everyone to try!!! Original natural homemade food!!!!!
This place is a part of Scarborough History!!! Wish there was more locations. Love it. My mom and I used to come here all the time. Now shes gone and everytime I come here its so bitter sweet because it reminds me of good times with my Mom
Amazing food! Great customer service! Received extra sauce for free! Nice workers! Only Cash! Recommended dishes Pork Souvlaki Dinner
Awesome and delicious home made burgers. It s a family run business I guess and they are fast and provide enough given price.
I moved to the area not to long ago and this has become a favourite of mine. Much better option than a lot of fast food chains in the area. If you re looking for good, healthier, wholesome food at good prices, Harry s is the place to be
Awesome traditional diner Vegetarian options: Veggie burgers exist Food : 5/5 |
So good always hits the spot
Value for money. Good Food. Parking: Specious parking. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access.
Great memories of this place .always good food
Cant wait to try the souvlaki
Awesome food !
Old style burgers. Tasty tasty tasty souvlaki ( order 2x ) all burger combos are a bargain. Eat there
When you see 5 be skeptical and alert!! Greasy and oily Food had a stomach problem after and not only me also the place is dirty and bugs are walking around like customers!!
Nice take out Spot or a quick sit and eat. Quick service, FRESH FOOD I got the chicken souvlaki real chicken breast. Homemade lemon sauce is awesome and looks to be low carb. Again, Fresh food also had the homemade ground chicken Kafta type dish awesome and not too salty. Prices are fair best and healthiest food in that plaza I highly recommend it!
Customer service needs a lot of work. Food was decent, but not worth the order taker shouting so much.
Classic burger and Greek fast food joint with unique flavours. The home made burger is large, juicy and delicious - top it with homemade sauce to plus it up! Fries are hand cut and perfectly golden. Burger toppings are fresh and bright. The price is also right- top quality at fair prices but be aware: this place is cash-only (there s an ATM though)
Tried their double homemade burger and it was quite good.
Best in town Vegetarian options: Best burger Food : 5/5 |
My wife hadnt been back since she left Scarborough when she was a teenager. We stopped in after a doctors appointment and were pleasantly surprised with their homemade burger special. Amazing conversation with the owner and fantastic food. Brought back a lot of memories for my wife.
I quite liked the burger. Simple but juicy. Would stop by again.
Ive eaten here For a long time the experience I had tonight Was bad The Onion rings they werent the same. I could of got them. anywhere even at food basics. I ordered the home Burger. I dont know what they put in it. But it was the worst experience Ive ever had. Theres no way Im gonna go back there. I heard the original owners of Harrys own Cathys on Kennedy road. That is a place to go in Scarborough.
My boss asked me to arrange a staff luncheon and he suggested this place. I called and the owner asked me to email my order a day before I wanted to pick it up. We were feeding 12 ppl. Not only was everything ready on time, but they wrote everyones name on each order so I wouldnt have to open everything. The food was delicious, the salads were fresh, and I will definitely be going back on my own when I dont feel like cooking. Thank you Soula
Great little place with good food and service. The prices are fair and the portions are good too
Harrys is a staple in Scarborough, Fantastic burger and fries combo for under $10.00!
Amazing customer service and food every time, ALSO can t beat the prices.
Great food. Want quick and tasty? Here it is.
Wish they had dine in. Amazing food. Love the poutine
New owners have changed most of the stuff including the legendary onion rings. Swapping them out for store bought ones :(
$20. For a pork souvlaki dinner, extra meat! Gross, every chunk of meat was fatty and chewy, couldnt eat it all, less salad than usual...Prices have gone up, I heard new owners...never again...I recommend Kathys grill and Gingerman, best greasy spoon....Goodluck Harry
Still one of the best Scarborough burger restaurants thats been satisfying customers for decades.
Harrys has gone downhill fast under new ownership. The prices went up on everything and now the home burger is paper thin. You cant even taste the meat anymore. Harrys use to make the best burgers in town. Those days are sadly gone.
I had to change my star rating. They changed their onion rings to some generic batter instead of the delicious giant onion rings they used to have
Best Souvlaki Ive had in years!
Grab the great burger really really fast service prices were right on Ill definitely go back
Have very good chicken souvlaki dinner
Moved into the area almost a year ago and Ive gotta say these guys know how to make a mean burger. The fries and onion rings are always super crispy and fresh. The gravy is just right too. The new owners are very sweet. Always our go-to burger joint when were looking for a fast, delicious dinner. Reminder that they are cash only yall!
WARNING! New owners! I use to swing by here when i do groceries at lone tai. Quality and service dropped tremendously. Burgers are generic and the onion rings . The onion rings lost its love. They used to be nice big and tasty. The staff arent friendly and dont even care if you come and support them or not.
Dont know how I got to be so late to the game at this place. The staff are very pleasant and wonderful to speak to. Working my way through the menu but it is so far, all really good. Prices are reasonable. Just go!
Frozen fries
EDITED: Came back after not being here for a while. Unfortunately, its not as good as it used to be. The veggie burger bun was soggy, the fries were cold and the gravy was lumpy. The best joint to get a greasy-spoon style burger and fries with gravy. They have a pretty good burger and the best fries and gravy you can find in, Scarborough. Their home burger is fantastic and full of flavour, also! The veggie burger is what I order, now, which is also really good, juicy and flavourful. Ive been going here for over 20 years and will continue to eat, here. You have to try it out, it is good and affordable.
Honestly the veggie burger is good, but the double home burger is really good, especially if you like more meat than bread PAUSE. And the fries with gravy is something to try as well, but they need to add a lil salt to them. But good place to eat, if you like burgers.
Their homemade burger (4/5) was very flavorful and the onion rings (5/5) were perfectly done and their Greek salad was a disappointment (2/5). Overall it was delicious.
Excellent food and lots so choose from. Always fresh and staff are always so friendly. They make you feel like family! Highly reccomend!!! Update: New owners took over and to be honest not nearly as good food wise. Staff are nice but the food was alot more greasy and the salad by the time i got it home it was so soggy as they put way to much sauce on it. Very disappointing. Use to be one of my favourite places to eat but now I will not be returning any longer :(
Cheap and delicious eat! My go-to place when I was in high school (poutine always!)
A true local Scarborough gem that deserves more than five stars for its fresh food and friendly service!
Manager is VERY RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL. Instead of apologizing to me when I called her out on something. She hung up the phone on me.
Best burgers EVER! Amazing secret sauce that we tried the other day. Excellent service. Fries are delicious too! Just go try it I promise you will go back again and again.
Very friendly people and burgers are good for the price as of covid
Love thus place glad it survived the pandemic
The best
Good
Nice surprise! Got the Home-made Burger Combo. Was not disappointed! Big burger, good, fries, about $10!
Best deal.
I can t speak enough of this place, the fast food version but with the Healthy & Homemade food! The owners are the best! and everyone has smile in their faces. Their souvlaki is finally the cook term I like after years living in Greek town !!! Onion rings? GOOD, fries? GOOD! I just wish I lived closer and I would never cook 11/10 recommend
Great place to eat if you like to try some old authentic Burger shop
Read some of the recent reviews and apparently they recently changed owners here? I wonder if the sweet lady working at cashier is still there (shes a senior) shes very polite and calls every customer dear I came here twice before and I had the Homemade Burger and the Double Burger. The patties are so so good! Theres a nice char on them and theyre a good size too - the size of your hand. They ask what toppings you want at the counter (pickles, relish, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, onions, ketchup, mayo, mustard)
The place is not as expected. You give with a good quantity but not the quality as expected. And also update your menu price and get a debit machine not an ATM.
Its a blast from the past
Fast service. Friendly staff.
New owners changed things.. milkshakes.. not as good. The fries are no longer good.. the box holding the fries.. small falls over.. ! The hamburger buns are different... ! Not gonna say its bad.. just not like it was .. which was addictive.. made you want to go back.. plus the lady .. always asking you how things are.. how your doing? Now.. they have other items, new things on the menu... so what im sayin it keep going but try the new alternatives... the old Harrys is gone.
This place is BOMB AF! If you love chicken souvlaki this is the place to visit. The dinner combo is a great big portion with some of the best tatziki Ive had. Definitely a hidden gem. P.s churchs chicken next door has poor service and mediocre food if you cant decide between the two Harrys wins by a landslide.
Very good place for my inarticulate kid, Karen Suke Hoa! I brought him to the nearby super market and he was running around and knocking over things. So me and the staff decided to tackle him and punch that Allens head LOL! He was crying and I felt bad, so I brought him to Harrys burgers! It made my Suke Hoa happy again!
Usually really love your food, your Slovakia is the best. Had a craving for onion rings and they werent how you usually make them, they were waaaay to soft...literally no crunch at all. Little disappointing.
Customer service is something they may want to work on. If youre looking for this kind of food, Kathys grill down the street is much better ie. Cleaner and friendlier (I dont have any ties to Kathys grill, just my opinion)
Listen up Everybody!! If your looking for the Harry s food we all know and love over the last 3 decades- you can find it at Kathy s Grill just around the corner from this place, on Kennedy Rd!! The new owners of Harry s have changed things up, and it s not what we remember- The slovaki both pork and chicken is gross, to much oregano/ and poor quality of meat, the Greek dressing on the salad is different - taziki tastes pretty good though, gravy is different, pretty much a quality decline in all areas of this establishment- Not tied to either of these restaurants- just saying if your looking for the classic Harry s style food, just go around the corner to Kathy s grill you will find all your favourites there- just as you remember them! Unchanged!!
Not the best burgers in the world but a very good deal. Patties were a little thin but I think I ordered wrong. I got a banquet burger when I shouldve had a home made burger with bacon and cheese. Still prices are just as cheap as a burger chain but much better. There are a few stools but it works better as a take out. Staff were friendly and not stingy with the toppings
Very good
Friendly people poutine was good but next time asking for extra gravy. I already came here two times the chicken Souvlaki and pork was good . Next I wanna try the 2 for 13 bucks deal. Coming back again for sure
Had home made burger combo and chicken burger, Gosh! Never tasted a tasty Burger ever since I came to Canada and I highly recommend Burger lovers to go check em out! Fast service, humble staffs and delicious food. When u go there just make sure to have cash. They dont accept credit/debit cards. Thanks guys fir the remarkable service you gave us.
Ive been going there for over 40 years...always been a great a place
Good food was cash only when I went so make sure you have some before going.
This place used to be great, however; a few years ago something happened and the food quality changed. Not sure if there was new owners or the Cook/Chef changed but they are nowhere near as good as they used to be. Similar food, but the taste has just changed, was not impressed at all this last time I ate there, sorry
Ordered from Uber eats just a regular burger. It tasted bad. like the meat was bad. Left a bad taste in my mouth and gut.I couldnt eat it after the first 2 bites :( I have been a regular customer and I usually order the dinners or the other offered burgers but this was my first regular hamburger. Never again. things are just too expensive to throw away money on bad food.
Man how good is this place. Old school best school! If my rating was based just on the bag weight I would score it 10. Tired of the burger chain light bag syndrome this place does it right, home made, good food and tasty.
Great Food Been around since the 60s
This place has been here for more than 20 years!! Their huge poutine with cheddar cheese is to die for!!!
Had great food and is so good cash only tho
Pretty decent burger combo. I got the homemade burger combo. Which was $11 everything included. And to note they dont credit/debit you need to have cash at hand. The fries werent the best they seemed very meh like taken out of the freezer and then just fried and server. The burger was pretty good but it is on the more softer side not much of crunch. I would have like the buns to be more fluffy but it works out still. I would definitely check it out again but Id avoid the combo and just get the burgers.
Owners have changed and so has the quality of the food. Burgers are still great. Greek salad is hefty but lacking. Fries are different and the once almighty pouting is a far cry from the old days. New owner is nice but might be cutting a few corners to save a few bucks. Still worth the trip but not as often as before.
I expected better after seeing the reviews and someone recommending me to go. I got charged for a combo when I didn t ask for one, I went with it didn t complain. Got the homemade burger with bacon and cheese, the meat wasn t really flavourful at all, my friend said he saw the meat go on the grill and it didn t appear too fresh. For the same price or maybe less I could have got an angus burger next door at Harvey s and that would have tasted better. Friendly staff though and fair pricing, I would come back and try the souvlaki or steak on a bun.
Do not order a homemade burger. They keep it already pre-cooked and all they do is warm it up on the grill for 30 seconds. I wouldn t even feed that to my dog. Complete garbage
I love their homeburger, their salad, their fries, i love all their foods
One of Scarboroughs best kept secrets! You can get carried away ordering this and that because it all smells sooo good but be careful because the price adds up quickly. Ive never had such tender and tasty pork souvlaki. I bring a few sticks home so that we can enjoy them for days later. The Greek salad is amazing... cant get enough of it It has indoor seating but it doesnt look particularly inviting, and thats ok because I only ever want to take the food home. Its a rough looking diner which is also ok because Id rather they put their efforts into the perfectly cooked food than making the restaurant pretty. Keeps pricing down too. The baklava is great, the menu has lots of variety and the staff are very efficient. Ive moved to the other side of the city but I drop into Harrys still because there is no substitute for this kind of food anywhere else.
Just love it! 5 stars
Food is fresh and the customer service is amazing.
Had the homemade burger plus fries and gravy. Burger was great and the bun was just right for the patty. Gravy was pretty tasty, too. Will definitely be back .
Excellent food. Nice non-chain restaurant to support.
I have chicken souvlaki dinner my favourite! Chicken is never dry and properly cook. I have tried almost all the menu and they never disappoint me. It s clean, and great service.
LOVE this place...good eats and great customer service.
Amazing service! Very juicy and tasty homemade burger, it s a must try!
Cant go wrong. Great food and prices.
Its what a burger joint is supposed to be. A huge grill and food prep with great staff. I always get the chicken souvlaki with rice and a Greek salad. Delicious and filling. The homemade cheese burger is great too.
Fast service friendly staff good selection cash only Burgers are better than the other fast food drive in joints Great Salads also
Their greek fries and burgers are amazing. Watch out as they are cash only.
They changed their onion rings.No longer the homemade batter onion rings as seen in their menu picture. Now they are just processed mushy onion with no crunch. What a disappointment.
Great homemade burger . Amazing prices. The fries to be honest were a bit of a let down. But the burger was really good.
This used to be excellent food when Harry owned it. The new owners changed the quality of the food and it tastes horrible they should change the name as it is not anything like Harrys used to be, and price gone up wont be coming here again Id rather go to Harveys they just lost 10 customers from my house hold alone.
I came here for years until the new owners changed it up. Poutine and Greek fries used to be the go to thing here. Not anymore you pay the same price for half the size and the fries aren t the same.
Recommend the poutine
good icl
They have NO delivery options from 1.8 kms away. Used to use Uber, but now state that their drivers are too busy. They still dont even have a website. Who wants to hunt and peck around the net for a menu in 2021? Lastly, they only take cash at the counter. Food is good, service and staff are good. But with these three inconveniences, a 5-star rating cant happen.
