Harry's Charbroiled

Gave Harry's a try for the first time tonight, though I found on unpacking it (did takeout) that they'd messed up my order; I ordered a double Classic Jane, but instead got a double Plane Jane, which is unfortunate, as I don't love straight ketchup on my burgers. But anyways, it was a fine burger, very much in-line with other spots around the city catering to the smash-burger trend. Hard to go wrong with that... greasy (probably 80/20?) beefy beef, melted cheese... what's not to like? The fries looked promising from afar, but fell short for me, both as far as the texture (far too dry inside; I'd reconsider the type of spud used) and seasoning, barely any salt. The jalapeno mayo dip was fine, nothing remarkable. Reason for "only" three-stars is that at near $30 for my "combo", I'd just expect something more (and for the order to be right)- I'd feel much better about what I had if it cost 30%-or-so less. They have a couple sandwiches on the menu I'd still like to try-- Big Jane and Red Burger--, as well the poutine, but don't think I'll be running back. As a side-note, I highly recommend letting the food cool down for a few minutes before digging in, as it's piping hot, more-so than from any other spot I've eaten at- not a bad thing obviously, just a word of caution. Also, reason for only three stars re: service- I asked both guys behind the counter working the grill/food station what their favourites were, as well as about the gravy, and I was met with disinterested, bordering on rude, replies which didn't even answer the questions but just kind of brushed them off? Spot looks cool aesthetically tho!

A convenient burger joint. We got two double Jane burgers. The size was good for the price. I would suggest a little bit less cheese as the taste of the cheese was overpowering. The fries are the star of the show and very good. You can tell they make them in house fresh. Very tasty. The staff are lovely and the service is quick. There is not much seating so plan to take out if needed.

For fans of a quality smash burger, let me tell you — this spot deserves far more recognition. I ordered the classic Double Jane burger, which comes with two smash patties, each topped with a slice of American cheese, plus pickles, onions, and ketchup. While I would’ve loved if lettuce and tomatoes were included — I added tomatoes for an extra $0.99 — the burger still checked all the boxes of a well-executed smash burger. Served on a soft, lightly toasted brioche-style bun, the patties were packed with flavour and had those signature crispy edges while staying juicy inside — exactly what you want in a proper smash burger. Despite the name Harry’s Charbroiled, I’ve heard the burgers are actually seared on a flattop rather than charbroiled. I ordered delivery this time, so I can’t confirm that firsthand — but either way, the burger delivered on being exceptionally well-charred. This is a burger I’ll definitely be coming back for — and one I’d confidently put on my list of the best in the city.

Ordered a classic Jane solo, a double Jane solo, some chicken fingers and onion rings. The onion rings were good and the chicken fingers were alright. The burgers were alright as well, but nothing that great. They made an odd choice for the classic jane and double jane to remove certain parts of the sandwich (classic has lettuce, tomatoes and Harry's sauce, but double removes those in place of 1 patty and anything else is considered an addon). The patties were also a bit more salty than I like.

I live close by, and went there in 2023 on the first day it opened and never went back until today. The first time it was waaaay too salty and decided to never go back. This time was completely different, the burger was really great and fresh so after trying a 2nd time, I might become a regular now!! Gravy sauce is solid too

Love the food, charbroiled burgers are flavorful and delicious. We typically get the BBQ Jane, or plain Jane with their thick cut fries.

Very tasty and filling meal! Had the classic Jane and some onion rings, much better quality than the big name fast food chains. I would definitely eat here again. They also took care to follow the mod request I had on my burger which was good.

Went for the first time after reading some great reviews. Must say very clean and spacious restaurant, great service the staff were very sweet. I ordered the classic Jane witch came to be $12.00 CAN ($1.50 TIP) Holiday poutine $15.00 CAN (beef gravy add on $2.99) both items were delicious. The burger was cooked to perfection. The holiday poutine had turkey, fries, cranberry sauce & turkey sauce. So yummy very festive highly recommend if your in the area.

Not Worth It. I had the Big Jane as they listed and it was not worth my $13.50. It lacked flavour and that good meat patty texture. Also had the crispy chicken sandwich which was better but still un-impressive. The crispy onion rings were tasty but the measly amount for $7 is again not worth it. This place had no ambiance to eat in and definitely too expensive for a burger fries joint for anyone specially young families. So many other places in the East end Toronto that are way better and a better bang for your buck. Never again.

The service was great, the location is super clean, the fries were well-seasoned and pretty tasty as far as steak-cut fries go, but let's get on to the burger... I ordered a double, and in hindsight this might be why I felt this way, but the patties were insanely salty, so much so I removed one and even thought it was still salty, it was at least palatable. The bun, sauce, condiments were all on point, but that salty salty burger made the experience a definite let down. I wonder if you can order a burger without them salting the patty so heavily? It was the first day for the Coxwell location so I will go back in a week or so and try again. If it's better I'll revise my review.

The burgers are fried - not charbroiled as the name states. The POS seems confusing - three different people asked me what I wanted after reading the ticket. The burgers are really thin. I got a double but it didn't feel like half a pound. The parties are smashed so thin that the edges, that stick an inch out of the bun, are thin and dry. That also leaves not much meat once you get to the burger. The patties were pretty tasteless - except for too much salt. The milkshake was warm and tasteless - and 7.99 plus tax. The wedge fries were well cooked and had a good texture. But again, too much salt. For two dry, thin burgers, a small fries, and a milkshake I paid $45. Absolutely not worth it!!

It was a good burger , was it mind blowing . Not particularly. I will say the bun was nice and soft and the pickles were on point. Something was missing in the burger it just didn't wow me and the only thing I can pin point is the Harry's sauce. I don't think it was tangy enough. The server said it was comparable to Mac sauce to me it was more mayo with a hint of mustard. I wasn't a fan of the fries at all. Way to thick and very disappointed with the gravy. Lacked flavour and had a weird after taste. I like a good Harvey's gravy , good old fashioned beef gravy that pairs well on a poutine. The burger hit the spot but I don't think I will be going back.

Smashed burgers, fresh buns, high quality toppings, and those fries, i LOVE steak cut fries when they are cooked properly. these were fried to perfection, really delicious fries, i absolutely loved them. I don't think they are fresh cut though. The burgers were good! i still prefer Rudy's for smashed burgers as they smash them right, they have that lovely crispy edge, these were mostly smashed and pretty tasty, the buns are excellent as well. I also had the onion rings, they sadly also seemed to have freezer origins too. Still friend nicely, but man, i wish these shops would make fresh onion rings, easy and cheap, and they taste SOOOOOOOOOO much better than frozen. If harry's had fresh fries and onion rings, they would really compliment their good burgers, these short cuts lower the experience a bit, as fresh is always better than frozen. Overall i would sway Harry's is an excellent burger shop, i would definitely return.

I ordered form Harry's about a year ago and at the time thought their fries were amazing while their burger was "solid" but not overwhelming. Still, I wanted to give them another try but they seemed to disappear off Ubereats. I noticed recently that they are back (not sure if they changed location?) and I have been on a bit of a burger kick lately (after a bit of a hiatus) so ordered another Double Jane today. As with my last experience, the fries are amazing! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside...a great texture! They weren't quite as salty as the last batch (I included pics of today's fries vs. my previous order) but still great. As for the burger, it was much better than I remembered! Very juicy without being greasy and full of flavour! While I typically like strong flavours, in this case I liked the fact that the flavours were noticeable but not overpowering. For example, I tasted the pickles but they didn't overwhelm as they did in a burger I ordered from another place last week. In fact of the three burgers I have ordered this past week, Harry's was definitely the best. So based on this experience I am promoting them up from a "solid" into an "excellent" rating! I will definitely order from them again.

Toronto has definitely become a haven for burgers. There are a myriad of different types of burgers of all shapes and sizes at all different price points. I'm always down for trying new takes on burgers but sometimes, I want an old school, back to the basics burger with everything done just right. For me, that's what Harry's Charbroiled provides and it provides it pretty darn well. Wanting something meaty, I opted for the Double Jane; a double beef patty with picked, cheese, onions and ketchup. The meat was cooked perfectly and the bun to meat ratio was just right. I feel like a glutton saying this but even after finishing that double patty burger, I wanted more. Oh my. Luckily, Harry's was also carrying Gerties Peanut Butter Pie so I obviously had to get that too. I've never tasted peanut butter pie (never knew such was a thing) but now there's no going back. It was really great to see Harry's support this up and coming desert. Logistically, this was ordered via UBEREats and I had no complaints. It was efficiently packaged and still warm when it found its way to me. Harry's definitely belongs on any "Best of" Toronto burger lists; a true classic!

3.8/5 By far the best diner burger and fries i had in TO. Harry's is hall in the wall that's well loved by locals I tried banquet burger, big jane burger and bourbon milkshake. I am more of pub burger person so i didnt expect much from this place. But when i had my first bite, it changed everything. Harry's burger patty is cross between american style flat patty and thick juicy pub burger patty. It has that semi crunch exterior but yet has full of flavour. All their burgers were good but i personally enjoyed big jane little more due to garlic mayo. Milkshake was very classic diner milkshake. Theres nothing to write home about but it sure makes you feel all nostalgic.

Harry's is located near King and Jameson in a plaza beside the No Frills/Dollarama. The place is somewhat hidden as you would have never guessed there was a diner there. I dropped by for lunch at Harry's on a Thursday and the place was not super busy but there were already a few tables eating. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to find the host so I sat down on one of the empty tables near the entrance. The waiter promptly came by to inquire about my beverage of choice and I ordered a green burger. When the food came, as indicated by other reviewers, the burger was small but the fries that came on the side definitely would fill you up. The combination of the green chorizo in the burger with the condiments worked well together. The fries were also super fresh and filling. Definitely a heavy, greasy meal! Overall, burger was somewhat small and the prices are a tad high, but I wouldnt mind coming back for more. I heard it gets super busy on the weekends though so come on a weekday if you can.

I ate at Harry's on PEC, but had to post here, 'cause there ain't no PEC page. But I assume the burgers are the same, which is amaze-balls, by the way. Had the Big Jane, which is slightly spiced with two kinds of bacon. An American cheeseburger done up. So tasty! And not over filling. Fries are crispy delish too. Mmmmmmmm

This place is so good. The burgers are better than the place where they have priests. They're so flavourful and Harry's sauce is really good, plus the garlic mayo (get a side of that to dip your fries in) l. Only thing is they could give more fries and the flavour of the gravy is too light. It needs to be more substantial, like a beef gravy. Maybe just a preference of mine though. Overall, very tasty burgers. I was skeptical but decided to try it and was very pleased so was my family.

3.7 so weird i never ever heard about this place before... good charbroiled burgers. simple. fresh. fullfulling. lacked a good slice of tomato but otherwise good. same as some concurrents for me, such as priest 3.6 or rudy 3.8. a 4.5 for me is shake shack in the US. a good alternative to mcdo (a very different 3.7 or 3.8) for sure.

If you're hungry for something charbroiled and don't mind a no frills burger, then Harry's will certainly fit the bill. However, you won't be getting a burger that will demand your return, or give you good bang for your buck. While a decent tasting burger and nothing bad, it's quite small for an $11.50 price tag. When I bit into the burger, it tasted exactly like a burger I've previously made at home for much cheaper. I didn't get a chance to try their fries, so I can't comment on that. All in all, if you're in the area and want a greasy fix, this will do the trick, but don't expect anything spectacular.

Amazing. Had the banquet burger and everything came to me hot off the grill perfection. Kitschy atmosphere, amazing staff. If you want a fab burger and a cocktail, this joint will rock your world. (And they are open and serving food until 12:00am most nights!!)

We love this place just a burger and fries kind of place, so yummy and nostalgic. Reminds me of high school

Found this place online when I was trying to find a lunch spot in Parkdale, and was lured in by the reviews. What a gem! First off, it's nothing special on the outside...looks a bit rundown. On the inside, it's got lots of vintage posters and Christmas lights which is kitschy. I had the Banquet burger and my boyfriend had the Big-Jane burger. I'll agree with other posters saying that the burger is a touch small for the price, but that's not necessarily a bad thing...I don't need a monster burger all the time! The burger itself was FANTASTIC and delicious, all of the toppings added so much flavour. But real talk...the fries?? These are like a thick steak cut fry. Fried perfectly. Overall, I absolutely loved the food here and would highly recommend it. Sorry for the blurry picture, was in too much of a rush to eat.

Love this place for breakfast and lunch. Nice mix of Parkdale folks and good tunes. My only complaint is that the burger is pretty small for 13 -$16$. Yah might want to throw another patty in there Harry or drop the price. You're in Parkdale! Great fries and nice smashed burger with lots of flavour.

I am hesitant to pen this review because, though it's not hyped on Yelp, enough people know about Harry's that at peak times there are already lines. However, my Yelpiness overcame my hesitation, because here I am, about to tell you that Harry's is the best... Everyone, listen up. Harry's is the best. It is my favourite diner hamburger, general brunch atmosphere and friendly dark corner to handle a hangover or feed my kid french fries in Toronto, maybe in the world. Beyond breakfast, they're open to 2am and have wicked deals, including an after 10pm burger, beer and shot deal for $20. Not bad, not bad at all.

It aches me, pains me, destroys me, and ruins me to not give Harry's a five star! Atmosphere is so inviting and cool, like a cool single dad's garage? Like if Patrick Swayze's character from Roadhouse lived with Susan Sarandon's character from Thelma and Louise and they were raising Emilio Esteves (THE MIGHTY DUCK GUY) together? And if they all shared their garage space as a club house to work on their Dodge Challenger while watching the game and having charbroiled burgers and a beer to celebrate after? That's what Harry's is like! It's good! It is the absolute best charbroiled burger joint in the west end! The burgers are perfection: The Plain Jane burger is FAR from plain, it has all the perfect elements of a burger all wrapped up together in holy matrimony, and it celebrates its honeymoon in your mouth! Does that make sense? Or do I just have wedding season fever? I don't know! The burger is 10/10! The fires are the best fries in town, I'm dead! If my life's goal was to have the best fries ever and then die, please shoot me now. *pew pew* I have also been here for many brunches, and the avocado toast with some sausage and a boiled egg on the side was what I ordered! Lol! Man oh man oh man oh man, they do not skimp on the avocado, fam! It's sooooooo good. A nice cool Himalayan mountain of avocado on a warm toasty sourdough bread! Mmmm I feel like a new woman when I eat it, almost makes me forget the soul wrenching hangover for a brief moment. Coffee is dece too! Now...I can't give Harry's the fifth star because what the the hell is the deal with the rancid, putrid, appalling, nauseating state of their bathrooms?!?!?! Please please please clean it! I get your vibe, it's supposed to be chill, low key, easy peazy, and fun! BUT I don't wanna throw up my delicious Plain Jane burger every time I have to go freshen up or excuse myself to the lil ladies room! Please clean up that bathroom couple times a day or a few times a day. Get some oil diffusers or something, I dunno where that smell of mildew is coming from. Sometimes the smell can leak into the restaurant if you sit too close to the bathroom doors! YUCK! I'm proud to say that I'm a regular at Harry's! And I would stay for a beer or two after my meal, if I didn't have to run home to pee or freshen up after my burger every time, because I'm traumatized and terrified to use that bathroom! Thank you Harry's! I will be back! BUT CLEAN YO BATHROOM!

Was looking for a decent charbroiled burger place that was good value and this seemed to fit the bill. Got the plain jane burger which was $12.50 taxes in. The burger itself was decent albeit a bit small. I was expecting prob a 6 or 8oz party but it seemed like a 4oz. It was as small as those wonder bread burger buns. Fries were plenty and pretty crispy, which compensated for the small burger in terms of keeping me full. For the price, if the burger was bigger, I'd would recommend this place. Otherwise, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

Were we trapped in the No Frills due to a sudden rain storm? Yes. Was Harry's the closest port-of-call that offered drinks? Yes. Did the run down the alley in a downpour seem like a small price to pay for our immediate freedom? Yes. All this to say we showed up here out of necessity and we had a drink and then as the clouds parted, so did we. Probably one of the cooler places to take refuge in the city.

Food was great! Highly recommend the red burger. Poutine gravy and side salad were excellent! However, disappointed by the fact that their chocolate milk shake is vanilla ice cream with added chocolate sauce. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired despite the fact that it was a slow Sunday evening. I will be back but I hope to have a server that's a little more welcoming and isn't so bothered by my business...

While burgers are still tasty. There are increasingly more and more homeless people sitting here, and prices have gone up from $10 a burger about a year and a half ago to $14.

My personal all-time favourite burger is a double-double burger, animal style at In N Out. Second would probably be a banquet burger from Real McCoy in Scarborough. After having a Plain-Jane, though, I think Real McCoy may have just been bumped to 3rd, or they are now at least sitting at 2nd with Harry. Plain-Jane Burger - Each of us literally said "Ohmahgawd" as soon as the burger hit our tastebuds. Not even after a few chews, but literally when it hit our tastebuds. The patty is so fresh and juicy, it's just wow. What's great about it is that Plain-Jane was just that - plain. But in a good way. In a "less is more" type of way. All it had was cheese, pickles, onion and ketchup. That's it. Definitely a must-have if you love burgers. Oh and guess what? Parking is free! 5/5. Fries - All burger orders come with fries that are super crispy. Was also a pretty generous serving so we were able to share a basket. 5/5. Gravy - Gravy was nice and hot, however I personally prefer the darker and thicker gravy, with a little bit of saltiness to it. Theirs was a little in between chicken gravy and beef gravy - consistency and salt level-wise. Regardless, it was still very good. 5/5.

So apparently Harry's Char Broil & Dining Lounge was recently bought and transformed by noted Toronto restaurateur Grant van Gameren, and although the food is certainly a cut above your typical old-school diner, I was happy to discover that the interior remains just as eclectic and sketchy as before. We arrived just before noon on a Saturday and the place was packed, but luckily we were able to grab a table that had just been vacated. I perused the menu and quickly decided to go with one of my favorites: the Corn Beef Hash ("corned beef, home fries, fried egg, peppers"). The dish arrived shortly after and was piping hot (yes!) It's a lot of food. You get a thick hunk of corned beef atop the aforementioned home fries and peppers, and it works. The beef is typically salty, but that intense flavor is allayed by the sweet peppers. When combined with the fried egg, the whole thing is a gloriously tasty mess. I enjoyed the heck out of this dish. The cash-only thing is a bit of a bummer, however.

I made the mistake of ordering the corned beef hash. While all the other breakfasts around me came piled high and on a huge plate, this was a pathetic amount served on a appetizer plate. It said it as served with peppers and home fries but I only received two of each (my friend was even surprised by the lack of potatoes... seriously two potatoes!) and instead a huge pile of pickled onions, so every bite tasted like vinegar. The corned beef was amazing but at $12 it was a huge rip off. Especially seeing this place is the definition of dive bar. And the service was meh. Very slow. Wouldnt go back.

One of the best burger joints in Toronto!!! If you're looking for a great simple burger this is the place to check out! The fries alone deserve a 5 star! The fries are by far one of the best I've ever had. They're incredibly crispy and thick and the burger is so juicy! Service is ok.

You really cannot disagree when someone gives Harry's high praise. If I've learned anything during my time on Yelp, it's that surprises await you around every corner and today, as I entered the divey, dated and colourfully decorated, (read: vintage sunshine girl calendars abound) doors of Harry's a burgerlicious surprise awaited me. As I mentioned, it's a dive bar, but a dive bar with really good classic diner eats and strong coffee. What more could you want? I feel like 50 years ago business types would stop in for a pack of cigs, black coffee and a burger and it'd be served with a smile by a lady named Flo. Nowadays, it's dark and seedy, and your burger is served by a hipster named Finn or Liam. But it still holds up. I did indeed partake in said black coffee but also was amazed by their burger list. I took the path less travelled and ordered a non-traditional but delicious sounding 'Green Burger' which is a chorizo patty infused with spinach served with a host of delicious cooked toppings. Just excellent... like but for real. I won't say much more, the poutine wasn't poutine but it didn't matter the burger was a rockstar Eatcrest Out! CASH ONLY

Harry's is a Toronto staple and will be missed. Hopefully, they're able to open up a new shop soon as it's nearly to get a good charbroiled burger in the city!

If you are on the lookout for a good burger to satisfy a greasy craving, then look no further... I had the Plain-Jane Burger (double beef patty, cheese, pickles, onion, ketchup) as recommended by my server. It certainly hit the spot, but i'll admit it was a tad small, I could easily put back two of them if i was really hungry... Side note; if you are looking for an 80's glam rock fix, this is the place for you... :)

I don't know who Grant Van Gameren is but apparently the fact that he took over Harry's is suppose to be a thing. A friend told me about the place and frankly I should have known better than to fall prey to the rattlings of the hipster grapevine. Came here with a friend for a burger, grilled cheese sandwich and fries. Really wish I hadn't. The old diner aesthetic is indeed still very much in place with the decor, right down to the coin operated table jukeboxes. You can imagine an older generation of blue-collar working class folk coming here for a beer and cheap eats back in the day. If you're looking for that vibe you can find it here or many other diners still alive in the city. As for the food...Now, I've eaten in my fair share of diners all across Canada. Some were surprisingly good, others were barely survivable. Harry's food though not toxic (I suppose that's why everything but the fries were near chard black...Y'know...food safety) is also rather bland and uninspired. My friend's grilled cheese was toasted till black and my burger, what little there was of it, was like a chewy piece of charcoal. I guess I didn't read the menu well enough but usually a "Banquet Burger" has things like lettuce, tomato, pickle, onions...Not so at Harry's, I guess near $15 for a burger a little veg is too much to ask. The fries were most likely the frozen $1 per kilo variety that you can find at any nofrills grocery store (hey whattaya know there's a nofrills right next door to the place). The service I suppose was competent enough albeit done with a nonchalance. I don't think our waitress ever did a quality check with us the whole time we were there. Perhaps she knows better than to ask "How is everything?" When you can have a burger of far superior taste and quality for less than 1/2 the price at the new A&W Parkdale location I can't imagine the retro diner aesthetics of Harry's being worth the trip. Take it one step further you'd be leagues better off at Burger Priest or the nearby Cardinal Rule or The Rude Boy than at Harry's. Unfortunately Harry's food has only taken the worst aspects of cheap diners and brought it to those who are foolish enough to think nostalgia is everything.

Who doesn't like Harry's? Great place for breakfast, lunch and a late night snack. The decor also brings you somewhere else! However, I think it should be noted that they don't open late on weekdays now, and they only take cash! Their greasy juicy burger and fries really hits the spot. The service is pretty good as well - lovely people. They have great grilled cheese as well! They were at Beer Fest 2017, and you could tell that no one was disappointed.

OH man. Harry's burgers are super juicy.. These guys definitely make one of the best burgers in Toronto, and they have an awesome casual rocknroll atmosphere. If you're not watching your calories, definitely try one of the burgers. They're not the biggest, but they're perfectly sized for a satisfying meal. I need to head back some time soon. Also, they can get pretty busy.

Do not come here. I came here tonight and asked if it was seat yourself. They said "no go wait over there" and pointed to the door. I said "ok thanks." And then stood at the door for 3 mins. Then a woman came over and said "there's a table in the back" without making eye contact. I'd rather eat a cigarette that I found on Bathurst than talk to this woman ever again. I've never felt so unwanted and I'm an orphan. 2 stars cause they'd probably take down my 1 star.

This is a nice hidden spot, open late, cash only. I had the big jane burger and didn't think much of it. The fries were not great (big, kinda soggy, oily). It also seemed quite expensive. However, the green chorizo burger was very good and different; I definitely recommend that one. Service was a bit rude, with vibes of "this place is not for you, get lost." So yeah, don't just wander into here, I guess you gotta be invited.

I may be biased, as this is the first greasy spoon I have been to in the area - but I like it. I'm actually not certain if it's on Springhurst - it's actually just by the No Frills , at the back end of the alleyway - but the address very well be correct, as the alleyway has no name to call its own. I'm not going to give raving review on the service- she wasn't friendly, nice , patient or talkative but she was certainly prompt, which made everything else endurable - since I am, afterall, there to be fed. Seriously, don't expect her to smile back at you - it AIN'T going to happen. The decor isn't as amazing as the milkshake here - but if you find antiques fascinating - there is a jukebox in here from I dunno when! It completely occupied my attention, even though it didn't work(when I remember to take a pic of this, I will post it- it seems to always slip my mind). Good size food - seems to be a hit & miss withe flavours, but non the less, completely filling- and I felt that there was value. Milkshake is pretty awesome - I couldn't share it. It's almost too bad this place came into my life - I blame my friend - because now I have no motivation to cook AT all.

An affront to the good name of Harry's For people native to Parkdale Harry's was one of the last remnants of the way things were: greasy, grimy and good hearted. The new Harry's keeps the grease and grimy (ironically) but the heartless hinds that have taken over are doing the place a disserve. Frustratingly long waits to get service even in the off hours, soaked in oil and under cooked home fries, the worst scrambled eggs I've ever been served, and a baffling removal of the debit machine are all on the menu. The sausage was good, a lone redeeming quality

I have lived in Parkdale for over 30 years and have seen the changes (some good, some bad). I live down the street and frequented Harry's. It was a super friendly and cheap place where you could throw some quarters in the jukebox and listen to some tunes (beer was under $4 and you could have that along with a burger and fries for about $12). I always had enough money to buy the regulars a couple of drinks. This place has transformed into another gentrified burger joint where a beer, simple burger (I'm talking patties and some cheese) and fries will NOW cost you $26.20 (CASH - yes my friends, cash only)! There are other options in the area that truly continue to support the spirit of Parkdale. In my opinion this is NOT one of them!

One of the best place to grab a burger in downtown TO. The location is very low key and hidden behind some building so you will not find place walking on the Parkdale without looking for it. Don't get fooled by interior that looks like you're back in late 80s-early 90s and scary looking regulars - the burgers that I like the most is 'Plain Jane' and it's very, very good - with sizzling patty and old-fashioned bun that's toasted to perfection. Old fashioned thick cut fries are also very fresh and crispy. Love how they put the whole thing in red plastic basket too. It's very close to where I work so this place has became a regular lunch burger spot.

When I moved this was my fave local place to go. In the 8 months I've been in the hood though it's become my least fave. Prices have skyrocketed and the quality has not. Used to be open always and now hours are unpredictable. It's hit or miss with the food. Will probably hit it again but hope it won't be a miss. So many other options around I won't miss it lol

When Harry's first re-opened I was excited to have a Grant Van Gameren option within a couple blocks walking distance. The first time we went in was not long after they opened - service was slow and there were a couple of young Asian girls, hired by the restaurant, ludicrously photographing basically every item on the menu as the kitchen prepared and brought it out sequentially, for Instagram. That was definitely a harbinger... In the first 6 months or so, it was just your typical hipster faux-dive with decently satisfying burgers, if nothing special. After that we showed up one evening for dinner and suddenly the burgers were about half the size and at least 30% more expensive. Completely unjustifiable. Especially since they are obviously not doing much with the place with the extra money. The booth seats are still all torn up and duct taped together. Don't go there very often anymore because of the tiny thumbelina-sized burgers for ~$15, just once in a blue moon or if we happen to catch their monthly 2-4-1 rent day special.

Better hurry if you want to taste the best burgers in TO as Harry's is closing next month. Even the infamous Banquet burger can't compete with another new condo development but I suppose after making burgers for 50 years it's probably time to relax! Well played Harry ......

I found the place to be really really dirty. There's diner charm then there is filth. The French fries were nothing more than beefsteak frozen MaCain fries. Awful. The food prices are very high and the menu selection is small. I won't be returning. Plenty of great breakfast joints in parkdale to choose from.

The first time I went it was really good, last night was spectacular. Yes I'm using the word spectacular to describe a cheeseburger. Okay, banquet burger :D Crispy bun, meat was cooked perfectly, giant slathering of delicious cheese, spicy ketchup (I think??), tangy pickles, fries and gravy...(my mouth is literally watering right now). This place has kept its parkdale feel but now full of hipsters...which is no prob as the food is legit and vibe is chill and beers are cold. Check 'er out. Oh ya...and cash only!

Terrible service. I had to walk around looking for a employee to take my order and found one sitting down with customers, but she directed me away to someone else. I finally got to order my burger . It came lumped on top of a handful of lousy fries. I was not given any utensils to eat with.And to top it off , they only take cash! Plus way overpriced for a dive bar.

Great burger, seasoned to perfection and served piping hot. Thick yet amazingly crunchy fries. They used to be open for lunch on weekdays, however now they only open at 5:00, which is a bummer. I loved hitting up that burger for lunch on a day off, or when friends are in town. This is one of the best burgers you'll ever have, I just took off a star for their lame new hours and the fact that it's cash only, which is always inconvenient.

Plain Jane with fries well. Soooooo tastey. Great atmosphere and friendly staff too. Sit by the griddle for some added entertainment. They have a pretty well-stocked bar as well. Blue light at 1 a.m. Burger and fries at Harry's: Bomb-ass cheeseburgers

What a great little spot. Good food, good service. Really enjoyed my lunch and Harry's. Will definitely be back.

I finally visited Harry's for the first time a few weeks ago and honestly, I've been craving going back ever since. Its not just the delicious grilled cheese (melty processed cheese and jalapenos on white bread with a crispy grilled exterior and some sort of yummy flavour dusting). Its not just the perfect french fries. Its not just the classic caesar. Its not just the fact that they have Hellman's mayo on the table along with the Ketchup and mustard. Its not just that some of the table tops are made of beer bottle caps embedded in resin. Its not just the colourful lights in the slightly dimly-lit room. Its not just the fact that this place feels like its been there forever and belongs to so many people but also it's yours for a hour. Its all those things. Its getting colder and darker outside right now and places like Harry's feel like the perfect place to hibernate and hide with your friends over a meal.

This place is so good! Walking in it was definitely not what I expected. Decor makes you think your creepy uncle frequents the place -- and he probably does. Menu is small and pretty straight forward. I got a plain jane burger and my boyfriend got the Big Jane burger. I thought my burger was amazing and my boyfriend was really happy with his as well. Definitely a new place to consider whenever I'm craving a burger. Will be back for sure!
