    This was a very nice breakfast experience. I forgot to take a picture of the Huevos Rancheros. It was excellent.

    It was like traveling back in time. We ended up here after spending time at the beach and tried to look for a fish n chips restaurant on Google maps with low internet reception. It was 0.4 miles away so decided this was the place to go. We were pleasantly surprised by the retro style interior. The restaurant wasn’t busy and service was good. The food came out quick and it was pretty good except for the beans and rice that came with the fish taco. It wasn’t tasty enough to finish. We liked the $9.99 cheeseburger deal. This place has so much potential. Great place to take photos. Hope they renovate their ancient restrooms.

    As someone who grew ip coming here, Tonight the food was the worst food that I have had ever in my life. We tried the Claim Cowder and it was grainy and seem to have been sitting in a hot pot way to long. We then tried the Tuna Melt and am sorry even after pointing it out to the server it was disgusting and burnt within one bite you knew it was completely garbage and should never have been served. I didn't ask the server to remove it from the bill nor was it offer. The server was great the food she had to serve was the issue. The moment we walked in and seen one couple at a booth and two men at the counter the rest of the resturant empty I should have known the place had gone down hill. I believe the Manager should be in charge and make sure to see the cooks as quality control is lacking as this place use to be a good place for comfort food. I am now heading out looking for food to get the taste out of my mouth. Sadly after dozens of years coming here we are most likely not going to return.

    Our favorite place for comfort food! From the eggs to the spaghetti, you can’t go wrong with Harbor House Cafe. The portion sizes are huge(just look at that ham steak) and the menu is plentiful. The staff is very friendly, but they can be understaffed at times. Try the tuna melt the next time you’re in the area

    The food here is excellent at a great price.. Beyond that, the waiters and waitress here are so nice and attentive. As a movie fan, I love the classic film poster decor. I totally recommend.
