Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a little mom and pop restaurant with great food. The onion loaf on the menu is what grabbed my attention at first and then we both had the shrimp and mussel boil. Both were excellent and we were too stuffed for dessert. Try...the kiwi and lime cocktail, it was delicious.More

Long wait always but worth it. Seafood is always fresh and the service is very professional and friendly. Sorry they don't give birthday dinners anymore.

Visiting from MN. Enjoyed the alligator bites, lobster special, swordfish, shrimp tacos and fish and chips. Everything was fantastic. The shrimp tacos were absolutely and some of the best we have ever had. Finished up our evening with a piece of key lime pie. The...pie was delicious and so refreshing.More

We happened to be in Winter Haven, Florida for a wedding and arrived the evening before the event. We decided to give Harry's Old Place a try and it did not disappoint. The flounder was buttery and the shrimp was plentiful. Love coleslaw-their's is fresh,...made in house. If you end up in Winter Haven make sure to stop in at Harry's Old Place for a delicious meal.More

The restaurant is small, but the staff was very friendly and efficient. My husband had the fish Reuben sandwich and said it was tasty. I don’t eat fish and didn’t read the menu very well and ordered a cheese burger which was also very good....We would stop again.More

My husband and I are traveling through the area, looking for rehearsal dinner possibilities. While this place was too small with no private area for a group, the food was great! So was the staff.

First time here with my boyfriend. We loved everything that we ordered. I had the seafood imperial and it was heavenly, but I have to say that the French onion soup was the best I’ve ever had. And believe me, I’m a connoisseur. Coconut cream...pie for dessert. Great experience. Great atmosphere. Great food. Boyfriend got the corvina, his first time trying it and loved it.More

Two mom's and two kids for an early dinner/ late lunch. Had seafood dip, scallop dinner with collards and a shrimp boil dinner. Peanut butter cake and coconut cream pie for dessert. All yummy. Small place but neat and clean with some nautical decor. Staff...pleasant. This is a regular lunch spot for my son and daughter in law. Easy parking. Nice stop.More

We went here for dinner with three other couples. We went there because of the great lobster tail special! Of course, I had the lobster tails with cole slaw and key lime pie. All really good, but the lobster tails were kind of small. Key...lime pie was slightly frozen, as advertised, and was excellent. Highly recommend the pie for dessert.More

I've been anxious to eat here for years and had heard such great things about it. Unfortunately the place was crowded, very loud, and the server seemed in a hurry to get our food and get us out so she could get another table. It...was all very rushed, fine dining prices for a fast food experience. We had to yell to hear each other. I ordered grilled scallopes in a lemon butter sauce and got fried scallops, I didn't complain as I love all scallops any way they're done. The fried scallops were terrible. When my sister complained I was offered $5 off because I ate them so obviously enjoyed them. The manager was kind of rude. My sister and her husband had surf and turf and said the filet was overcooked and the lobster was salty. The bread basket was squashed little undercooked buns as were the undercooked hush puppies. The only things we enjoyed were the french fries and salad. Won't be back.More

All I can say is wow. Visiting on vacation. Being from wisconsin I have noticed a lot of rude people in Florida. Well not here. We had the greatest workers. From the bartender to our waitress to the owner coming to say hi. We were...very impressed. To the food now. The kid ordered a pb&j and cheesy grits. He said best pb&j ever. I decided to finally live outside my food bubble tonight. I went with the dolphin fish and the wife had monk fish. My wife’s monk fish is different. It was ok but it’s an acquired taste. That’s why the call it the poor man’s lobster. Now to the high light of the night. I ordered dolphin and it was amazing. Perfectly cooked. So juicy and flakey. I did just the lemon butter and very little seasoning. Also had the cheesy grits for a side. Those are really good. I loved that the meal came with hush puppies. We don’t have those in wisconsin. I also had the French onion soup. It was cooked perfect. This place came to us at a good time. You get tired of amusement park food and fast food. Sometimes you need that one meal that makes your vacation perfect. When we come back and are in the area we will be back.More

This used to be a favourite of ours. Would drive al the way from Champions Gate for lunch. This time, the good part was we were immediately seated (table of 4), the waiter was attentive, and the desserts were excellent. You would be hard pressed...finding a better key lime pie. So the bad experience was the globular appearance of the chowder, although it tasted okay. Those who received french fries, found them excessively salty. My Imperial Seafood Casserole had been over broiled, which caused the oil to come out of the cheese. None of us raged about our meal, and just thought it was just not worth the money and the drive .More

This is the best restaurant we have been to in a very, very long time. The staff makes you feel very welcomed and project a level of pride in their work that makes dining here exceptional. From the moment we arrived and met Jessica we...felt like we were being welcomed by a close friend. Our server, Holman, was very intuitive and demonstrated a strong understanding of the menu. The food arrived and blew all of us away with the freshness, seasoning and presentation. My family and I are originally from Maryland and are very critical of seafood in general; all of us wish to award a resounding 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our compliments to the entire staff that make this establishment an absolutely amazing restaurant. We can hardly wait to return.More
