Default Harry’s

Had to go to Ocala for a different reason and decided to have lunch there. We selected this restaurant, Harry’s, corner of 24th (Broadway) and 1st, and we had a wonderful time! The hub got shrimp and grits and I got chicken and grits (because it came with collard greens) and we each got a side of smoked sausage. (And the chicken was fried like fish) Yum!!

We also got a starter (crawfish fondeaux), and 2 drinks all for a total of $58.00. And, we had enough for leftovers.

If you get a chance, check out Harry’s, you’ll be glad you did!

Harry's is a favorite spot for us as well. There are some really great places outside TV.

Have gone there for years...since they opened, dinners and lunch, never had a bad meal or service, amazing as many times as we eat there ! Don't drink alcohol very often but when at Harry's always have a hurricane... never found a place that makes a hurricane as close to New Orleans like Harry's. Always buy a couple gift cards at Christmas to get the 2 extra $30 cards... and was surprised to see this month they are having Christmas in July, extra $30 card with every $100 purchased. We consider a nearly 30% discount a real bargain for their food and service. They can move down here to The Villages any time as far as we're concerned...plenty of empty spaces !

We like Costa also, but Harry's is very different (New Orleans) cuisine. Gumbo, red beans and rice, excellent red fish, etc. Shrimp and grits that even someone who HATES grits would love...LOL !

Also, if you get online and sign up for their loyalty club, once a quarter they send you a coupon for $10 off of a $25 meal purchase. We usually go for lunch and bring dinners home. Their shrimp & grits are the best ever. Some kind of Louisiana fish dish they feature every once in a while is really good. My husbands loves their tacos.
I wish they took reservations or had a call-in list. They're slammed during snowbird season.

Don't forget about the one in St. Augustine's. Harry's is always our go-to place when in Ocala.

Went to Harry’s when we lived in Lakeland. I worked downtown Lakeland and would go there for lunch.
