Harry's Bar & Grill

I'm kicking myself for waiting this long to stop in and give Harry's a try. I spotted at least a dozen menu items that sounded amazing, but I settled on the cinnamon French toast with a side of bacon. Everything was perfect, and I already have my next several orders planned out.

Service was great too. I don't think my coffee mug stayed empty for more than a few seconds at a time. To me, that constant flow of coffee is one of the signs of a great breakfast diner.

I had read about this place opening in local newspaper articles, so it was cool to see all the decor celebrating the owner's father and the impact he had on Iowa City.

Though they've only been open for a few months, Harry's feels like an Iowa City classic that's just kind of always been here, and I hope they stick around for a very long time.

Our first time at Harry’s was an excellent experience! The Philly Cheesesteak was incredible, and I appreciate that they try to source ingredients locally as much as possible. The lavender gin fizz was also very tasty. The service was quick and pleasant, and the atmosphere/decorating was very fun - a nice ode to Epstein Books.

Ordered the garden variety omelette. They were happy to make it with egg whites and no onion or hollandaise for me. It was absolutely amazing!
Good bloody Mary's and Irish coffee to boot.
A must try for locals and visitors alike.
Also, they play great music...

Just ate there this morning for the first time and i'm an every-week breakfast eater somewhere in IC so I believe a couple things. 1) We need more good breakfast options. 2) We need to support the folks that do things well.

Atmosphere was great - I really like what they did with the vintage red tables and vinyl chairs. Clean and appealing. The historic IC photos and art is very nice as well.

Waitress was great. Attentive and pleasant. For 7am on a Thursday no complaints here.

Food was excellent. I had the Country and Western (Denver) omelet with an English muffin and some decaf and it was all really good. Omelet was well cooked and warm. Coffee was strong and delicious.

Please support these folks. They're doing it the right way.
*Also the music was good.
