  THE SICILIAN WAS AWESOME! BUNS, SERVICE, QUALITY, ATMOSPHERE, AWESOME!!!! DEF. RETURNING!
• gooner
  good burger but not great. bun bigger than burger. fries limp and greasy.
• Lurker
  The burgers were slightly beyond well done and the fries limp and greasy. The whole meal was very expensive for what it is. The staff was very pushy in having you finish and get out the door (even when there was no one waiting). Will not be coming back.

  My experience:
  
  Walked to Harry's on a Sunday evening and it was pretty busy but not packed. No sooner had we walked in the door before we were greeted by someone asking us "Table for two?" so that was a nice example of prompt service.
  
  We sat down immediately and were given two glasses of ice water. Ordered a few minutes later and the food came within a reasonable amount of time.
  
  The burger was pretty good but a little overcooked. I'll chalk that up to "how they do things" because I didn't specify how I wanted the burger cooked in the first place. I like the buns they use (much preferred over the buns at Zak's) and the vegetables were fresh. The french fries are hand-cut and a little on the soggy side but that's sorta how I like my fries. Basically, expect the sort of fries you get at Dick's but thicker and longer. For some reason this place doesn't offer milkshakes and to that I say "the fuck?" What sort of burger place doesn't offer a milkshake.
  
  The atmosphere I did not particularly enjoy. It's really family friendly and all (which is good) but it felt like a TGI Fridays or something with massive amounts of sports memorabilia all over the place and at least three large screen televisions (and video poker for some reason).
  
  So a basic summary here is:
  
  1) Decent burger, good bun
  2) Decent fries if you like the hand cut style that aren't breaded (basically: opposite of Zak's fries)
  3) Prompt service even when they're pretty busy
  4) Sorta cheesy Anytown USA atmosphere

  The waitstaff absolutely rocked - can't say the same for the food. The fries are Dick's fries - yup, good ol' Dick's french fries at a very high price. Large hamburger buns, lots of toppings, very small hamburger = disappointing.
  
  Atmosphere was fratboy sports bar on steriods - overwhelming.
  
  Been there, done that, won't bother again...

  Hamburger Harry`s is a really great place to eat..the burgers are sooo good every thing fresh. The natural meat is from Mystic farms on Vashion lsland and the buns are made fresh daily from Larsens Bakery the menu explains. l will be back again and again. Mark

  Just got back from lunch there, it was good.
  
  Some of the best fries around, kind of similar to Dick's fries but actually better (not as greasy as Dick's). I wish more places would do fries like this, they are really good.
  
  Super service.
  
  The main problems were - mega sportsbar ambiance kinda feels like one of those big chain type places, and the burgers were overcooked, especially the Gyro burger my wife had was really dry. I had the Sicilian burger which was only slightly overcooked and was quite tasty.
  
  I'm not sure if I like it enough to make it part of a regular lunch rotation, but it looks like a good option if you want to have a sit down burger meal with a family.

  Went to Hamburger Harry's for lunch with a group of friends the Hamburgers were very good, We all picked a different burger and shared. It was great to have all the differnt tastes. I especially liked the onion rings ...nothing like I've ever had before...A good addition to Ballard Thanks Marilyn

  Hamburger Harry's Is A Great Place To Go! the Fries, Burgers And Appitizers Were Out Of This World! Go There! Great Family Restraunt And Kid Friendly!
• Doug
  #1 place to go...Hamburger Harry's was the best hamburger plce I've ever been to! The service and food was great! I was there with some old friends and we all had different burgers. I had the Beer Cheese Burger what great flavor and texture it had! What a gret place!
• Kellen
  I really enjoy Hamburger Harry's. I work in Ballard and am always looking for places to get a good lunch quickly. I enjoy the blue cheese burger, it is great how the blue cheese is cooked into the middle, and the buns are amazing.
  The best part is the service, I was seated quickly, my server was nice and competent. My lunch came out with enough time that I could enjoy it before going back to work. It has become one of my regular lunch spots.

  This place may be "kid friendly" but the kids menu is not. $5 for 3 burned, dry chicken strips and some fries. Didn't include drinks (choc. milk was extra $2.50 each and no refills). The burgers and fries/onion rings were OK but I wouldn't return- just as soon go to Red Robins.
• Steph
  I'm having a hard time seeing beyond that gigantic cheesy sign.
• Josh
  This place will not survive unless they lower their prices. $10 for a hamburger -- in Ballard? This could be a cool place but as it is, I don't see why I or anyone else in this neighborhood would be a regular when they are gouging customers. At least they show sports on their TVs, unlike some if their retro competitors. I hope the owners wise up before they go under. I'd like to be able to call this place my haunt.
• TREX
  Went there Saturday night...
  FOOD=Burger meat was just okay but the Bun seemed like it was straight out of Safeway. Too much mayo. Fries were soggy and tasteless.
  PRICES= Average of $9-11 per burger; I want something more than Dicks for that price
  SERVICE=Fine...2 people seemed be be waiting on me, the girl that took my order(friendly and helpful) and the 'dude' who gave me the menu and checked back on me later. 2 out of 3 times he did the "slap on the back" how's it going pal thing
  {I swear, if he had slapped me on the back a 3rd time I think I would have decked him}
  So...never going back...Fat alberts while lacking in ambiance is MUCH better for this type of food.

  I love the spicey chicken burger. OMG!
• chelsea!
  Eh, I really like the burgers, but the service is HORRIBLE. We live a few blocks away, but will instead be making the walk to Zaks from now on.
  
  The owner/manager (not sure) was trashed, and wandering around with a bottle of Jagermeister and shot glasses, offering shots in the restaurant. We tried to flag someone down to check up on our order, and he didn't understand and instead offered us shots. Ugh.
• Jack
  I'm not sure if I understand the last review or not. Are you telling me you were dissappointed with being offered free shot of Jager?!
  
  Oh well, have fun at Zak's!
• Maria
  Good burger though very overpriced. HOWEVER there is a problem here with the music. I saw Quiet Riot and ZZ Top at the Forum in LA with every biker ex biker and wanna be biker south of Santa Barbara and it was not as loud as this place. TURN DOWN THE VOLUMN.
• ballard_mayor
  Just ate there tonight. Good service and good food, but still not sure if this place will survive. Burgers were good but not great (we had the blue cheese stuffed burger and the gyro burger) and fries were tasty - not at all limp like another poster noted. Service was very attentive.
  
  In terms of Ballard-area burgers, it was a little tastier and more interesting menu than Zak's; a little less tasty than Red Mill; not as creative as but a lot less expensive than Lunchbox Lab. A good price point overall ($30 for 2 big burgers, lots of fries and 1 beer). Great place to watch a game with all the tvs, but not sure it's a destination place for dinner or a regular haunt.
• poop
  I wont ever give a dime to the douchebags there..I hope this place doesn't last
• Ballardlove
  I don't know what the dislikers are talking about. I thought this place was great. Nice, fast service and the Gyro burger was soooooo good. It tasted just like a gyro from Mr. Gyro (one of the best Gyro places in town) I was impressed. Not to mention the garlic fries that came with. Heavenly. I loved it. And I will go back!
• Hostess
  God awful.....stick to REd Mill.
• MR
  Very dirty. Need to clean the place (windows, floors... everything).
• Shane Dillon
  Terrible vegeburgers and not a very kid friendly place. It is a good place for a beer though.
  
  Not a place to really take a family.
• TMW58
  The staff was very nice but the food uninteresting. For a place with a large array of gourmet burgers, you'd think the burgers would be memorable. They aren't. And the frys were worse.
• hello
  I think people need to open their minds to this place. It is ridiculously amazing. It is so tasty, the wait staff is amazing, yes the floors can sometimes get dirty, but HEY i have worked in the restaurant business, you try keeping a restaurant clean all the time, very very hard.
  
  BUT STILL THIS PLACE IS AMAZING.
  
  reading people's comments about dry burgers, and greasy fries, WHY NOT JUST ASK FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT?
  
  my fries were on the greasy side so i asked for new fries. They server promptly brought me new fries.. that were not ever close to as greasy.
  
  great place to watch sporting events.
  
  I WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK
• J.Crew
  Whatever you do DO NOT order the nachos. They are disgusting, weird "chip wannabes" drenched in cheese that wasn't even melted, with a layer of grease on top. They are horrible, the waitress knew we couldn't eat the nachos and didn't even offer something instead. We paid and will never return. I have been there once before and thought it was good, if you get a burger and a beer, but too much food, and it leaves you feeling gross afterwards.
• seattlemedic7

• ddo

• saymamma
  Hamburger Harry's has been a quick fix when we're out with the kids, but what is up with a glass of wine for $7.50, not only the price, but a 3 oz glass, c'mon folks, there is enough decent wines out there, that you can keep your small glass and give us a reasonable price!
• ballardmike
  Mmmm... Ciabatta burger was Awesome!
• Name
  A great place for people with mass-market tastes.
