| About: | In a world where everyone's a foodie and a critic, it's nice to see that there are still places to go that have great food and solid serviceall without pretentions. Harry's has been serving Houstonians breakfast and lunch since the 40s. The menu is a fun mix of Greek, Tex-Mex and American favorites including the ever-popular Greek omelet or breakfast tacos, Thanksgiving lunch on Mondays and Thursdays, or slow-cooked lamb shanks. Though it's cafeteria style at a steam table, have no fear that the food will be mushy. They even manage to keep the veggies fresh and crisp. - JoAnn Takasaki |

User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsKeep your friggin' kids on a leash parents. Nobody thinks they're cute, except "maybe" your relatives. Sorry to be the one to tell you. Harry's is a classic, friendly, American dinner. Give the your ego a rest and learn from criticism instead of crying about it. Oh, and remember to try the meatloaf. Best in town.

NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY: My wife and I (with our 2 daughters) have been going
to Harry's Restaurant on 318 Tuam almost weekly for
over 3 years after church. We had a very unpleasant
trip this Sunday. We took some friends who also have
a small girl. Since they close at 2pm, it was near
the end of the day for them. We were seated in the
back section. Since this seciton was empty, our three
girls (all under 5) were playing (not running around)
with some chairs. They formed a line and pretended
they were in a "choo-choo". Ordinarily, we would have
rally'd them up if they were disturbing anyone - but
since we were the only ones, we let the play, but
maintained monitoring them.
Upon leaving, the owner's wife rang me up at the
register and began to tell me that I needed to
"maintain" my children and not let them run around
breaking things. I asked her what they broke and she
said nothing, but that the chairs hit the wall and
moved a picture. I asked her why she did not say
anything when she "saw it happen". She proceeded to
tell me that our children are always running around
and disturbing customers. I questioned why she was
just coming to tell me of her dislikes to my girls.
Her only response was that her children always sat
down in their chairs the entire meal when they were
little because they were disciplined. I told her I
thought this was a "family restaurant" and her
response was that it is for "well-behaved families."
I will be the first one to admit wrong when my
children are acting unruly and sometimes we will leave
a meal prematurely if we feel our children are not
acting acceptable.
Well, I wanted to post this so that anyone with
children knows that you are not welcomed at Harry's
Restaurant.

Their cafeteria food is excellent on Fridays and on weekends for breakfast my favorite is the greek omelet. Cant't wait to try the what's on the steamtable for the rest of the week.
I recommend it excellent

Sounds like you should have been more mindful of the owner and controlled your children. I am a parent and I would not have let my child run around like that even if the restaurant was empty and about to close. It's a liability to the restaurant - what if your kid fell or got hurt in their establishment? Sounds like poor parenting to me, don't blame the restaurant!
Obviously you did not read what I wrote. the point was how the owner communicated her displeasure with us. If it bothered them, she should have approached us while we were dining and not when she was taking our money. Further, after going there for 3 years, we did not change our behavior. It is always funny that other "parents" comment on how they "control" their kids. I bet you work full time and let someone else take care of your child - then you can "control" your child when they fit in your schedule.
Harry's is not particularly child-friendly, thank goodness. You need to take your children to a restaurant like a children's pizza place, at which they are welcome. Harry's is not that place. It is an inexpensive, good, comfort food restaurant for adults. I eat at Harry's an average of once a week. I prefer restaurants that are not "child friendly"--the code word for restaurants at which unruly children are allowed to run like savages while their blind, deaf, and mute parents sit oblivious to the discomfort their children are causing to others. Just because you think your kids are cute running around like banshees does not give you the right to inflict them on others. I am glad the owner called you down for your insensitivity. I wish she had done so earlier. You learned a valuable lesson that YOUR parents should have taught you--respect the rights of others. Feed your kids at home, or at Chucky Cheese for the next ten years and do not inflict their bad manners on others.
You are too sensitive. They did the right thing by telling you on a "one on one" basis instead of embarassing you in front of the entire table. Just because it was empty doesn't mean you are at home. Might as well eat in your underwear and kick up your feet on the table if you feel that way. Get over it and control your kids.
