I love the huge selection of unique brews and quaint atmosphere. They're happy hour is great fro a quick bite but I always leave feeling full of grease. The sliders taste great but really lay heavy especially on top of a beer or 2

So this is a purely on principle review. The food here is absolutely scrumptious and there are great beers to be had. The one star comes from the shady fucking charge they put on my bill. I ordered a whiskey on the rocks. I get the bill and it shows that they charged me 50 cents for "Rocks." Really??? You are that cheap and sneaky that you try to slip a 50 cent charge for ice on to $50 check? I can afford it, but I don't like underhanded shit like this. Pretty scum baggy move.

I'm much overdue for a Harry's review update, so here it is, simple: You can't get a better lunch, for a better price, in Providence. (or a better Happy Hour) The burgers are EXCELLENT and very filling. The regular fries and sweet potato fries are both delicious. The bartenders and waitresses are friendly, attentive, and make you want to keep coming back. I love Harry's- its a must try. Happy Hour: Monday - Friday 3-5pm 1/2 off burgers & beers (Yes that means $2 burgers and $3 beers!!)

I dig Harry's. They have good sliders at decent prices. This is especially true during their burger happy hour that runs in the early evening. I especially love their veggie black bean sliders with their tasty bbq sauce. I'm not a huge fan of their regular fries but I enjoy their sweet potato fries. The sliders don't come with a side but it's a couple of dollars extra if you wish to partake. Their draft selection is small and beer is rather expensive. The drafts that they do carry are usually tasty, local craft beers, which is a plus. Their cocktail list usually doesn't have anything too showstopping but they make a rather tasty margarita (hint: it's not on the menu but they have a full bar and sour mix). The bathrooms are cool since they are often playing old faves such as Planes, Trains, and Automobiles or other classics on their tv. There are two separate dining areas, an upstairs area and downstairs dining area plus bar. Even with the two dining spaces, there still seems to be a wait the majority of the time I come in. All, in all, I dig Harry's but it isn't quite my fave burger space. i will keep coming back because of their tasty burgers but it's not quite a four or five star place in my heart.

When a place has a very limited menu, they better do what they have well. Harry's meets this expectation. Their menu is basically just sliders and beer. I walked past this place for years and always said that I would try this place another time but never did until about 2 weeks ago. They are known for their sliders and they are delicious. I am a big fan of the M.O.A.B (Mother of All Burgers). It is just 2 little pieces of heaven. I like to have heaven served with chili cheese fries and a beer from their great selection and it is as close to a religious experience you can get without going to church. If you are feeling ambitious, just make it a threesome which adds another slider. Its a little place with a big atmosphere. Harry also does not like to rob you of your money so you can expect a good burger and beer for a fair price!!
(5)Maria M.
Really tight space but the food was fantastic. I had the classic harry's well done and the kitchen stayed true to the order. If you're coming here, definitely try the salt and pepper fries. Great bang for your buck.
(4)Cameron P.
I've probably been to Harry's about a dozen times. Never had a problem. This time I went in was BY FAR the worst but I think this establishment still holds it's own. They have a downstairs bar and small dining room and an upstairs with a larger dining room. This last time I went in there was a large party of about 10 celebrating a birthday and it was very loud and took up the entire downstairs except the table I ended up at. For the future I think Harry's should try and sit parties like that upstairs. Admittedly I'm not in Providence all the time so my review may not be the most accurate. Still my friends from RI rate it highly and I can understand why. The burgers and sandwiches are all served as sliders so one order gets you 2 small burgers. Don't worry though, 2 of Harry's sliders are still pretty substantial. You can also add a 3rd burger for half the price of a regular order, or you could just get another order altogether, and you may want to. They have vegetarian friendly options like a black bean burger. Other items on the menu include hot dogs and chicken wings. I've never had the desserts but I've smelled and seem them and they look awesome. I got the Double Wide which is basically a double cheeseburger. It's pretty fantastic. I've also had the black bean burgers and whichever one has pulled pork on it. You can easily get out if here for $15 to $20 after tip per person. They also have a rotating selection of craft beer as well.
(4)Jon S.
Great place. Great food. Great beer. This place has the best burgers in providence and one of the best beer selections. They have at least 4 new beers on tap every week and even more bottled beer and bombers.
(5)Shannon D.
We just arrived after traveling 2+ hours! We had YELPED "Harry's".. Kids wanted BURGERS.. We didn't want chain! The hostess said 30 min wait at least. I said can u recommend another place, we did find u on Yelp .. She offered the SHUFFLE BOARD ROOM TO MY FAMILY! We were seated with the room to our selves, the kids played, we had cocktails & our BURGERS : CRUNCH, MOAB , BACON CHEESEBURGER, a plain CHEESEBURGER ( there is always one.. Lol).. Our server was great. He ran up & down the stairs w/ out forgetting a thing. Excellent service:) excellent Food! DEF COME BACK..
(5)Leesha Z.
I have been here several times and each time I leave full and satisfied. They have an array of delicious items to choose from on the menu from hot dogs to cheeseburgers to yummy desserts. I always get the Harry's classic with a side of fries. The food is always fresh and flavorful and the service in my opinion is always great. This is also a cute place for a date or to come with friends. In my opinion, it's hard to find a good burger in Providence so Harry's is a must!
(4)Rebecca H.
In a town chock-full of places to get a decent burger, Harry's is a standout. You can indulge your curiosity while staying noncommittal, because the menu's offerings are served as two small-ish, affordable sliders. On my most recent visit to Harry's, I didn't have a burger at all - at least, not by a carnivore's definition. I had the veggie black bean sliders, and they were amazing. I have also enjoyed their actual, Hereford hamburgers and they, too, are exceptional: fresh, juicy, melty, flavor-filled helpings of meaty goodness. Parking in this part of town is tough, to say the least--no matter the time of day, or the day of the week. Be prepared: arrive bearing quarters, lots of 'em. And wear walking shoes, because if karma is not on your side, you will have to hoof it back to the restaurant -- and, as metered parking is .25 for 12 minutes, it may cost you nearly a quarter simply to get from your car into Harry's. Once inside, the space is not efficiently laid out. Seating is at a premium; both times I've eaten here, we've opted to take a seat at the bar, rather than wait for table service. Each time, the bartender has been friendly and accommodating, engaging us in friendly conversation and allowing us to sample beers if we indicated interest, but weren't yet fully sold on something. Certain creature comforts aside, you can't argue with a place that serves such an array of quality beer. Wine-bottle sized servings of Delirium Tremens are on the menu, as are Chimay Blue, Loose Cannon Holy Sheet, and Duvel. The beer alone is worth it, and that - not the burgers! - is what ultimately drives up your tab at the end of the night. Do yourself the ultimate favor and spring for an order of fries; but don't stop there. Ask to be loaded down with the various sauce concoctions that are available--the whole array. If you dig dipping, you'll be in your glory. Order one more gourmet beer to pair with your dessert, which should always, always be the Chocolate Crack: four Saltines that are dipped in chocolate sauce, which hardens to a crunchy exterior around the cracker. Sweet...salty... entirely addictive. And only $2.95! I daresay, crack is not whack; it's what's for dessert. And you'll be back for more.

Soo good.. The turkey burger is better than any real burger i have had anywhere else.. Every burger is amazing there... Pastrami burger heaven... They have the cheap deal thing going earlier in the day.. I dig this place!!
(5)Chris L.
Great burgers, excellent atmosphere. The Bloody Marys are wonderful! We sat at the bar and had a lovely time. Go check it out!
(4)Nicholas B.
This place is the perfect spot to go after a nice round of laser tag. Great beer selection food is always good.
(5)Ken A.
Reasonable prices, tasty burgers. Come between 3-5 and get 1/2 off burgers. Lots of beer choices. I'm a fan of most of the burgers, especially the MOAB (they raised the price 1 dollar :( ) and the Pig Pile (burger with pulled pork on top). The fries aren't great and the service can be hit or miss. The people that work there are nice but sometimes the food doesn't come out for quite a while.
(4)Jamie F.
I've been to Harry's several times and for the most part I really do like it here with one exception, the wait time and service. Harry's seems to do something very specific that makes all the difference, from what I can tell they use a flat-top griddle (as opposed to an open fire grill) that holds all those fatty juices inside the burger for your meat loving pleasure. It tastes much like the flat-top griddled burgers of Shake Shack fame, and similarly Harry's house their patties in a soft and delicious potato bun. When I plan on writing a review then I order accordingly - order steak at a steakhouse and a burger at a burger bar. I recommend you do the same here as my one venture away from this lead me to a sub-par hot dog. I've tried the M.O.A.B., Fungus Among Us, and the Crunch Burger. Each order of burgers comes with two sliders and are well priced between $5-6 per order. They also offer half price burgers daily from 3-5pm on the dot- so if you sit down at 4:55pm but don't order until 5:01pm, you're out of luck. There are several fries that are also very tasty although I should note that the string fries can come out pretty greasy. Harry's has a small and playful atmosphere with interesting aesthetics, televisions, and an upper level of seating. I really enjoy the quiet music that appeals to multiple tastes ranging from Ray Charles, Peter Bjorn & John, and Nas. They also have a good beer selection; a normal tip off of this for me is when I see old speckled hen on tap. Yum. But...and there's always a but with three stars...the service! The staff does seem friendly and willing to help but during my last visit the food came out forty minutes after we placed our order for two burgers and a side of string fries. So after thirty minutes I asked our waitress if our order had in fact been put through and she explained that there was a large takeout order of 150 burgers which was causing the holdup and that ours would still take a few more minutes. I then asked her if she could at least bring out our order of fries which she agreed and did so five minutes later. I imagine that Harry's flat top grille isn't very big and that in order to fill an order of 150 burgers they would PROBABLY need to fill it 4-6 times. However, if a restaurant is experiencing delays I would expect them to let us know before we place our order and offer to bring out something else until our burgers were ready. This coupled with the fact that another table that was seated after us received their food first, leads me to believe that our waitress either A) put our order in late B) wasn't immediately informed of the backup in the kitchen C) wasn't thinking ahead OR D) was playing scramble with friends (which I did at the table to fill some time). I always try to give servers the benefit of the doubt but in this case the bottom line is that someone goofed. Harry, I will be back for the juicy burgers but won't come super hungry and will probably go during a game that will hold my attention until the burgers are ready. Burgers & Fries: A- Atmosphere: B+ Service: C- Final Grade: B

Harry's burgers are taste of heaven thats for sure. I love this place and everyone is super friendly every time I come in. I also like the fact that its not expensive at all. Had couple of my birthdays there and because I am getting older, the place doesnt!
(4)Hope K.
Folks aren't kidding about the wait. We were told it would be 20 mins and it was over 40 (for just 2 ppl) so be prepared. If you park on the street with a meter make sure you put in enough time. Once seated we had a great cocktail and beer milkshake. The burgers were good and the fried onion strings were delicious. The bartender was friendly and it was all definitely a good value.
(4)Jef S.
Just when I thought Harry's couldn't get any better, I've discovered their half off happy hour. Likewise, they have Milagro, my favorite tequila. I'm going to put a cot in their bar area and move in. Should be at the top of every Best of Providence list.
(5)Jason H.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere here, and the burgers were filling and well-made. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and we had a great time. There could be a wait to get seats on a busy day, but there are usually spots at the bar that are just as nice.
(4)Jordan A.
Harry's is my go to lunch spot. I'm not a slider person myself, but these are far better than any other sliders. I always get 3 of the crunch burgers- it's my favorite and I always leave full. However, I'm glad I came back after my first experience- I was told 35 minutes and waited an hour and a half. Eventually we sat down at a table outside, and so did another group of people who had JUST walked up. They were immediately given menus after seating themselves, and nothing was offereed to us who had been waiting. The food was good enough to warrant a second attempt. I don't know about dinner here; I didn't want to relive that experience. While I do love it here, I have to take a star off for the inconsistency of the service and I feel as though the beer is a little overpriced, mostly for the craft beers on tap.
(3)Camden O.
I've had many burgers and Harry's definitely takes the cake! While the West Coast is graced with burger establishments like In-N-Out, here on the East Coast we have Harry's! Unfortunately, there is only one.... Rundown: Very affordable burger sliders (topped with onion strings for a crunch), a hip atmosphere, a variety of microbrews, and even hard milkshakes. If you're in Providence, don't pass it up. Skip the drive-thru and grab Harry's instead. Although, be prepared for a wait as this eatery is very popular.
(5)Austin J.
Harry's in in a great area of town on a quant street. I've been wavering between 2 and 3 stars but decided on 3 because the sweet potato fries were great. I've never been to a burger place that will only give you well done burgers. I asked for rare and was told NO. A little strange in my book. The burgers were tasty for what they are. The toppings definitely made them. Service was good, place was clean. I would say it's more for the late drinking crowd then true burger fans. Really no reason to go back.
(3)Mike F.
One of the best restaurants In providence, hands down! I go to school in Providence, and I try to go to Harry's once a week. Everything on their menu is great, but we always get the sliders. I've tried every slider on the menu, and cannot pick a favorite, their all that good! The average person seems to get either 2 or 4 sliders(as they are sold in pairs) but I typically get six, because I can never get enough. If you go between 3 and 5, the sliders are half priced, so you can get a gourmet meal for about 7 dollars. The only downside is the restaurant is rather small, which means there's almost always a wait, but it Is definitely worth it!
(5)Braden W.
Spent the day in Providence and lucky for us stumbled by this burger bar. They serve 2 sliders for about $6 and they are delicious. We also got the fries, with cheese and jalapenos, which were yummy. Good beer selection to choose from and the chocolate crack is killer. All told burgers, beer, fries, and a sweet treat for $15/ person -- that is hard to beat. Check this place out.
(4)Joe C.
I've only gone once, but I really like this place. They do burgers the right way. Thin and fried on a flat top slider style. Really delicious. Prices are cheap and they have an awesome beer selection. As I am writing this review, I am craving one of their burgers. The servers were very nice as well. A really cool little spot in Providence. If you want to just stop in quick and whack a couple of sliders and craft beer down. This is your place. Thanks
(4)Neatha S.
Passing thru Providence looking for a local place for lunch we happened to find Harry's. Very good burgers, great beer selection, friendly service.
(4)Lauri L.
We love it here, and we come at least once every week or two. The burgers, the sweet potato fries, the salt & pepper fries, the onion strings - all delicious. Personally, I recommend the Pig Pile Burger, but my husband likes the M.O.A.B. And the beer selection (and cocktails) are also great. It's usually crowded, and parking can be challenging, but there is valet parking available most evenings. The service is usually terrific, too. This is the place we take many out-of-town friends.
(5)Shar A.
Um yum! Amazing sliders here with unique variations. Fries are great and great beer selection too! Very affordable and staff is really fun and nice. Place is small, but I love how cozy it is. Sit at the bar to try some of their fun drinks. Great Main St. location. Love love.
(4)Meghan M.
Harry's is a great spot to sit at the bar since it's a smaller and more intimate place than other restaurants in the area. Excellent sliders and really great prices!
(4)Alex D.
Good beer but the bartender seemed overwhelmed with a small crowd and ignored our order giving me the wrong draft. I loved my turkey burgers but my boyfriend was a little upset by the small portions
(3)Joanne B.
Harry's was probably my best find when I lived in Providence. Their prices are great, especially half price sliders from 12-3 who can beat that! The place itself can be a little cramped, but once you move past that fact, you'll love it! The sliders are the perfect size. My favorites are the mother of all burgers or the fungus among us, sometimes I even combine parts of the two. The servers are attentive and helpful, but do not expect high restaurant service, it is a burger place after all. Their fries are the right mix between crispy and soft, I am a fan of both the sweet potato fries and the salt and pepper fries. For desert if you're not too full, try the crack. It's a saltine cracker with caramel and chocolate, it sounds a bit different, but it is amazing! Harry's has a good selection of craft beer, carrying some kinds that are especially hard to find at other places. If you sit at the bar the bartenders are friendly and can give you some knowledge about some of the lesser known beers. Whenever I am back in Providence Harry's is always a stop, I definitely recommend it!
(5)Rachel K.
Good sliders fries and beers. Very cute and fun kind of place. We got the pig pile burger (comes w pulled pork) and the fried onion string burger. My preference was the pig pile. Quick and friendly service. We will def be coming back!
(4)Alexandria C.
Harry's is a go-to spot or me for a few reasons; 1. It's almost a hole in the wall. I enjoy low key, casual places because you can pop into with jeans and a t-shirt, or a fancy night-out outfit. Either is fine here. Judgement free. Also, chalkboard walls are a fun addition. 2. They have black bean burgers. Vegetarian friendly for people like myself. ALSO, sweet potato fries with some fantastic sauce. Two thumbs up. 3. Their beer selection is extensive and that is necessary in any burger joint. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, and I have never had to wait for a table for more than 5 minutes.
(4)Lisa S.
Fast service and delicious burgers. Sweet potato fries were good. Regular salt and pepper fries were soggy only complaint. Place was small but comfortable! Be back soon!
(4)Joseph H.
This place was great but heed my warning 2, 3 burgers MAX or you will be sorry **key thunder and lightning** Now that the warning is out of the way we were greeted promptly and grabbed a seat upstairs. The cocktails were imaginative and slightly hipsterish but very good. I would skip the fries really run of the mill even with their green dipping sauce. The burgers we juicy and ooooooooh so good I suggest going with a few people getting several different ones and sharing.
(4)Phil S.
Found out about this place when I read about it on CNN dot com, who rated them as the #1 burger place to check out in 2014. I got the cheeseburger sliders, probably the best slider I've ever had. You need to upgrade to three sliders (typical order is 2), or you will be sorry. All people in my party thanked me for taking them here, everything was top notch.
(5)Amanda A.
Came here on a yelp review. Tried a draft Kolsch and had the MOAB sliders (mother of all burgers). Friendly staff, good atmosphere and good music!!! I'd come back for sure if I'm ever back in Providence!
(5)Annamarie T.
So I came here for the first time after passing it a ton of time prior and boy I was not disappointed! The food was great, the service was great, and the vast beer selection was great. The burgers are to sliders, but that was plenty of food don't be fooled by the term slider this is no white castle burger. In addition fries were good too, the sweet potatoes fries came with this spicy green sauce which was pretty good. I loved the atmosphere and decor, I was a tiny bit tacky but in a good way. They also had a great variety of beers, and they even offered "Das Boot"! All in all, this place is def worth checking out for a great burger, I was not disappointed with my stop here and I am sure you won't be either. I mean the food is really reasonably priced, great bar, friendly service, and for dessert Irish Car Bomb Brownie... Is there really any going wrong with that combination?
(5)Alice L.
We stopped by on the way from Cape Cod back to NYC and I wanted to take Harry's with me! It was Happy Hour 3-5pm, half off burgers! Forget Beer specials, I'd take a Juicy Burger any day!!! First off, after you pass by the bar area, you enter this cool room with booths lining the walls and those awesome foot rails. There are awesome cow spots everywhere. They have a "makeout room" crossed out to be the Rest Rooms. The Decor is just awesome. Harry's Burger isn't a Burger, it's 2 Sliders and I use the term "sliders" loosely. It's like 4-5x the size of a white castle burger, it's Huge... for a slider. We ordered the Crispy Onion and Chili Burger, both delicious, both oh a Potato Bun YUM! Both HALF OFF!!! I want to try them all!!! We ordered a side of Chili Fries and Onion Straws - ironically, the toppings of our burgers. Both were good but I would have rather tried the Sweet Potato Fries or had another burger! If we ever stop by again, this is a must do!
(4)Jess P.
Harry's is probably my favorite place to eat in the city. The beer selection is fantastic, their drinks are strong and tasty, their adorable slider burgers are to die for!
(5)JOHN P.
Usually pretty good have been here an hour and still no food.its a Sunday afternoon at 1230 and I have to wait over an hour for our food awful experience
(2)Robert K.
This place is optimized for late night. While I like to go for a full-sized burger, these sliders are more than filling and great for a late night hunger craving without the remorse of late night overeating. Also, a really choice beer selection. Service was fine when we went. Can't complain.
(4)Rodrigo T.
Alright,, make sure you keep a box of kleenex in your man purse. Select the slider of choice and try not to make a mess in your trousers. These guys are spectacular in making their burgers. My burger (M.O.A.B.) is historically destructive my friend. Bacon, mushrooms, cheese and French fried onions. When their powers combine, here comes captain planet. Weeeeeee!!! The fries are in a different level son. Sweet potato sticks then you dip them in their kryptonite aioli,,, OMG!! I don't know what they put in that mayo, but I can bet you it's close to the Heizenberg Blue product. Their service is kick ass, their staff is hella friendly and the bartender working that day is such a delight. Anyways,, come eat here cause it's freaky awesome. Make sure you never miss this spot before leaving Providence. Weeeeeee! Life is awesome when the glass is always half full. (",) Follow me on instagram @rodtorres3

I don't know how I've lived in Rhode Island for a year and a half and am only now discovering the wonder that is Harry's Burger Bar. I actually want to thank the Yelp! community because I was writing an article on Bloody Mary's, and someone discussed the Bacon Bloody Mary, which is what prompted my visit. So THANK YOU! First of all, Harry's not only has a Bacon Bloody (bacon-infused vodka, garnished with a crispy slice of bacon), they also have the Classic Bloody and the Bloody Murder From Hell (sounds inviting, no? jalepeno-infused vodka, I believe). But when I go back, I'm trying one of their mudslides or shakes because...WOW. Dessert drinkers' delight. And the sliders are, of course, awesome. Their half price from 3-5 happy hour deal can't be beat. Dario the bartender took care of me like a champ. He even tested my brain strength with Narragansett coasters (because he knows them all!) And the sweet potato fries are a must! I will definitely be back!
(4)Dennis U.
I liked Harry's. Good sliders and a funky bar atmosphere. Good fries as well. The MOB was a great burger in concept as well as execution. Good selection of beers as well. If I'm in Providence and looking for burger Harry's will surely come to mind.
(4)Imran N.
It's a small place which serves good burgers and the staff is friendly. Pretty nice serving size for the price. We ordered chicken wings, cheese burgers and fries with jalapeño, typical bar food and it was good. When I ordered the Wide Load which is essentially the double cheese slider, the wrong food was served initially, I notified the server who was very polite and apologetic, she fixed the food quickly and there was no issue. I liked the food and service, will recommend it to anyone.
(4)Jeff K.
1/2 price burgers from 3 to 5. I sat here from 3 to 5. I ate here from 3 to 5. I ate M.O.A.B, the double cheese burger and the burgers with onion and cheese. Ate two orders of chili cheese fries, drank several beers, big butt beer from 3 to 5. I love this place.....more than 3 to 5.
(5)Greyson And Jess G.
Best sliders in town. The patties are juicy and delicious, they keep it simple with toppings and the buns are fresh. Add in some fries or onion straws and a milkshake or a cold beer, and you've got one hell of a meal. The burgers are small enough that you can get just two and not feel like you're throwing away your last 5 workouts. The one downside is the place is fairly small and it gets crowded quickly, the service is just okay, and it can get a little dirty when they're having a rush. But the food is so good I can look the other way... If you want a cleaner, less mobbed, more customer-friendly atmosphere, head to their second location on federal hill, sit at the bar where the chairs are more comfy and you'll get your burgers faster.
(4)Jackie O.
Note: the 3 is for the entire experience. But the food gets 4 stars. Came in around 430 on a Friday and the place was already pretty crowded. Waited for about 10 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. We were finally seated cozily on a wobbly table between other tables (which is fine if you like being close to other people & if you have extra napkins to fix the wobbly table). We ordered and when the food came, our server brought an extra set of sliders which he insisted we ordered...we did not.... But he walked away so quickly that it was too late. Weird. Luckily we were there before 5 so we got half off our burger orders! So, the extra few bucks was not a huge deal. The food: really great. Definitely a good burger for the price. Don't go expecting a masterpiece of a burger- you get what you pay for. The burgers are small but I like the portion size. The sweet potato fries with the aioli dipping sauce were great. The regular fries were eh. I really liked the food, so next time I would just get an order to.

Harry's provides the perfect bite for a quick and convenient-to-my-office lunch at a reasonable price. I nearly always get the basic, no cheese and the salt and pepper fries. Their sliders are tasty and the fries always done to perfection. If possible, grab one of their many beers and sit outside.
(4)Robert C.
Stopped by this place after a concert and the food and service was impeccable. Highly recommend the nachos, overall this place is amazing!
(5)David S.
Just ate the MOAB. Best sliders in Providence hands down. Great vibe, great food. A little tight to sit in, but that's why I get my burgers to goooo
(5)Blake G.
I want to give Harry's a 5. The food is amazing and cheap, the drink selection is great, and the decor is well designed. The only reason I give Harry's a 4/5 is because the service can be hit or miss and the restaurant is very small. Do not go with a party of more than 5. I've had some great service and some so-so service, but those two short falls do not detract dramatically from what is my favorite burger place in Providence. Turkey burger threesome with sweet potato fries and a mud slide shake is a must.

The sliders, the fries, the hard shakes... I could eat here every day! I absolutely love the sliders. They rival the burgers of In-n-Out. Yes, I said it. I recommend the crunch sliders. Their sweet potato fries with Kryptonite aioli is definitely worth a try. I love it, and am now addicted. The flavor is unique and refreshing. For the first time this past week I tried one of their hard shakes. The waiter recommended the mudslide, and my mom and I were enamored. I must get that every time now! The wait staff is always SO friendly and accommodating, too. Great people with friendly and hip demeanor! In conclusion, if you like burgers and you're in a 100 mile radius of Providence, definitely stop at Harry's for a delicious burger slider experience.
(5)Arianna G.
Never had a bad meal here. If you come for happy hour, you can get gourmet sliders dirt cheap, and that's enough to make anyone come back again and again. Their bloody marys are delicious and spicy, and their adult milkshakes don't disappoint. A favorite spot in Providence!
(5)Douglas A.
Any place that offers a "hard milkshake" with twinkles, caramel, and vanilla vodka has got to be amazing! Harry's fits the bill. Slider burgers with handmade local beef patties! Salt and pepper fries with cheese whiz if you wish! Harry's has a full service bar with ample beer choices and "cow quips" like "utterly delicious"! Tiny place, they do takeout too. Near the Providence train station. Yumb...
(4)Toni O.
Nice selection of craft brews - got to try some new ales I'd never even heard of! The prices were extremely cheap, especially by Providence standards, and most importantly - sliders were super fresh and delicious! Everything was perfect. Would happily come back here again on my next visit to Rhode Island.
(5)Emily S.
This place is a little treasure. I went here Sunday with my friends before we went to Muse Paintbar next door and was so pleasantly surprised. I love the idea of the sliders (I had the Bacon Cheesburger Sliders). I was no overly full after I was done (with those and my Cheesy Fries *delish*). I was happy that I was able to enjoy the Chocolate Crack without feeling bloated and over full. The food was so satisfying. I am happy we chose to dine here and would come again! The service was prompt and our waitress (I think her name was Gwen) was super friendly, engaging but not overly hovering which was pleasant. Having your menu have various ciders also made me super happy since I am not a beer person and cider is right up my alley. Even having the Cranberry Down East was a huge treat for me! Thank you for making my cheat day worthwhile!

Harry's will quickly become one of my go to favorite places in Providence. Note before coming that they specialize in sliders here and so that means that your burgers are smaller in size. Regardless though you will leave here feeling content and full. I have come to learn that there are in fact two locations now with the original on North main Street and the newly opened restaurant in Federal Hill. These locations are like pub/bar style with the intent that you are staying here for more than just beer. They have a short selection of appetizers that you can choose from including chili fries which are... oops a little on the salty side. -1 star for that. The burgers on the other hand deserve the 5 star treatment. We opted for the MOAB (Mother of all burgers... which is exactly what it is), the crunchy burger and the fungus among us. All great and unique in their own ways and all savory and succulent with their juices pouring over the sides of the bun. Each order comes with 2 sliders unless you add a third and all burgers are half off between 3-5pm. Beat the crowd and get twice the burgers! They also supposedly have great shakes but I didn't see anything on the menu... maybe it's a secret item. We topped everything off with an ice cream sandwich in the end which was perfectly soft, sweet and cold at the same time. For two people, 6 burgers, fries and 2 ice cream sandwiches we made it out of here for a total of $40. Not too shabby and that wasn't even during the 1/2 off price! (it better not have been...). Great quick service. Even though we had to wait it was only for 10 min. Park on the street (it's wickedly stupid trying to find parking around here.
(4)Holly E.
Consistent, delicious food. My boyfriend and I order two different kinds of sliders because we can never decide what to get. MOAB and Pulled Pork sliders always win, of course. There is also a huge selection of unique beers, mixed drinks, and boozy shakes. Everything is incredible. The only think I don't enjoy is being seated downstairs. I like distance between myself and other people, and in the back room downstairs you're literally sitting RIGHT next to the people next to you. Personally, I'm not a fan. I'll ask to be seated upstairs from now on, if possible. Overall: love, love, love Harry's. Every time.
(4)Laurie B.
I love eating here! It's inexpensive and delicious. I always get the Jumbo Bacon Cheddar Dog. My boyfriend gets sliders. He's tried the Bacon Cheeseburger, MOAB, and Harry's Meltdown. He said they are all delicious. I definitely recommend the haystack onions which comes with chipotle ketchup, which has a touch of heat to it! As well as the sweet potato fries which come with a kryptonite aioli. The fries were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. The aioli was delicious, couldn't tell you what the flavor is exactly, but I want more!
(5)Miryam Y.
One of my favorite places in Rhode Island. Their burgers and sliders are perfect-- as are their cheese fries. Good place to go for a casual dining experience. I love their beers and cocktails. Watch out for the Blood Murder from Hell drink--spiciest drink I've EVER had! Will be coming back here multiple times :)
(4)Jeannine V.
Loved the beer, burgers, and service! Our server, Kelly, was very informative and fun. Try the fungus among us burger-yum! KCCO
(5)Cameron R.
The boyfriend and I were meeting some friends who live in Providence, so they recommended Harry's. We arrived at 6, and were surprisingly able to get a table for 4 immediately. They have a nice (but small) craft beer selection to accompany the tasty sliders. That's right - sliders! Sliders are always a gamble for me, because it runs the risk of not being enough food, honestly. This, however, was not the case. I decided to play it simple and go for the Crunch Burgers, just a classic cheeseburger slider with fried onions. For a side, I saw some pictures on here of the sweet potato fries, so I went with those. I was really, really impressed! The burgers were perfectly cooked, not dry, and nicely portioned! 2 sliders and the sweet potato fries were a perfect amount of food for me, and left me feeling full without feeling like I'm bursting at the seams! The sweet potato fries with their green aioli were phenomenal. Everything was fresh and delicious! The venue itself is small, and filled up quickly. It definitely has the college feel, which makes sense seeing that it's located pretty much down the hill from Brown. Overall, though, we were incredibly impressed. Harry's is a great place for a cheap but tasty meal.
(4)Sohini R.
Harry's is my favorite spot in the Chow Fun group - those little sliders are perfect and tasty. Nowadays I'm cutting back on meat and so really appreciate the black bean deliciousness Harry's offers. Also, the kryptonite aioli that comes with the sweet potato fries is dangerously tasty and different. I usually get takeout from Harry's as they are a short walk away for me, but it is a fun atmosphere and I look forward to the summers when their big cow is outside.
(4)Little B.
Finally I got a seat at this place to discover it's just an average burger joint. Sure they have a wide variety of beer on tap, but so does everyone these days. A fresh burger is also easy to come by. I wasn't in love with the Cosco potato roll as the bun. This place is not worth the long line out the door, which is most likely the result of slow service. Yes- my sliders were good and my IPA was fresh, which is why I rate this at least a 2/5. I recommend to skip the wait and try one of the many delicious restaurants in PVD.
(2)Lukas H.
My friends and I ended up here by accident one night, and what a happy accident it was. In search of a late-night dessert, we were aiming for XO cafe, but upon arrival they informed us that the kitchen was closed and we should try next door, particularly "chocolate crack if nothing else. " Chocolate crack? With a name like that, how could we resist? Ended up splitting all three of their desserts, and each of us walked with a different favorite. Personally, while everything was delightful, the Irish car bomb brownies really captured my heart. Fudgy brownies, swimming in a warm and ever so slightly boozy sauce. To. Die. For. There's no going wrong with their desserts, and the atmosphere is awesome also. Lots of decoration for conversation starters. Can't wait to go back and try some of their other fare. P.S. if you get all three like we did, try dipping the crack and/or cookie sammich into the brownie sauce. Heaven~
(5)Katy N.
Delicious burgers! This was a yelp find - I got the crunch burger and was extremely happy. We got the side of fries to share and those were kind of bland - basic fries. But honestly the burgers were filling on their own and really good! service was also excellent and the beers on tap were unique. I'll be back to try the milkshakes!
(4)Asia T.
Came to this spot on a weeknight in search of some good food, and my Aunt and I were very well pleased! Cute and cozy environment, service was great. We received our food and drinks rather quickly and may I say the food was excellent? Try them, you'll definitely enjoy!
(5)Maryclare K.
This small burger joint packs a punch. We ordered the nachos. Don't let presentation fool you- they are delicious! We ordered burgers ( they come as two slider) which didn't disappoint and the salt and pepper fries were crunchy and fresh. They also had a great beer selection. It was close by to our hotel so we could easily walk to the restaurant and then walk around the area after.
(4)Renée G.
This place has pretty good food and is in a great location (near College Hill). Their actual building is kind of odd...interesting, but probably not best for a restaurant. We sat at the bar. The bartender/waitress could have been a bit more attentive, but the food was good enough that we didn't mind. I would recommend it if you're in the area.
(4)Kelly S.
After painting (and let's be honest, drinking, too) next door at Muse, my friend and I decided we needed food, stat. She suggested Harry's- her words included something about burgers, beer, and delicious. So, we went. :-) A very small restaurant, including a bar as you enter and a small room behind that. It's wasn't too crowded at 9 p.m. on a Monday, but it filled up! We sat at the bar, and were attended to quickly. We could see our burgers being prepared as we drank our beverages, and they were soon in front of us. Wow. Sooooo good. I had a hard time deciding what to order, everything sounded delicious- and it was. I cannot wait to go back and try more of the menu!!
(4)Kisha T.
This place, man. Always delicious and always so affordable. I was lucky enough to go to Harry's when it first opened a few years ago and it was just as delicious back then as it is today. When ANYONE comes to visit me in Providence, there are 3-5 places that I always have to take them and Harry's is a permanent stop on that list. In my college days, I'd go with the MOAB (Mother of All Burgers) - this thing literally has everything on it and it is freakin' delicious. Nowadays, my go-to is the Fungus Amongus. Simple and yummy. Their chili cheese fries with jalapeños are definitely a necessary staple to the meal. The fries are always freshly made and the chili is the right balance between hearty and flavorful. Btw, the beer selections are always surprising too. I tries a Game of Thrones beer just this week and it was yum! Overall, this place has got to be one of the best burger places in Rhode Island and if you come to Providence without stopping by, well, shame on you.
(5)Kyle S.
Burgers and beer...a match made in heaven. When I'm in need of satisfying my burger (more specifically slider) craving, Harry's is the spot that I know won't let me down. Yes the place is tiny and there can be a lengthy wait sometimes, but in my estimation it is definitely worth it. While there is no bad time to go to Harry's, your best bet is to head over from 3 to 5 for their happy hour (half priced burgers!). Mother of All Burgers, the bacon cheeseburger and the sloppy chili burger are all personal favorites, and you need to make sure to ask for some of the special sauce on the side...it's addictingly good to dip the regular or sweet potato fries in. Besides the delicious food they also have a great craft beer selection. Only 4 draft beers but plenty of can and bottle options. I've always found the service to be adequate and the food seems to come out in a decent timeframe. If you are looking for some tasty sliders and a cold beer to wash them down, then you should make your way to Harry's.
(4)Tish B.
If your looking for a good slider this is your place- Harry's Burgers ( harrysbarburger.com/menu ) Harry's offers a variety of Burgers and specialty drinks. Great Prices! Even better if you go from 2-5 for half price burgers. They also offer footlong dogs ! Great TGIF Happy Hour Location! hisandhersreviewspot.tum…
(4)Ward W.
It was just ok. The service was meh Friendly and so not fast . Not many People last night but took 40 minutes to get three orders. Fountain soft drink was nasty .. Burgers were ok. Rolls were fresh Quaint place .. Love the TV in the rest room. Not as big as all the hype
(3)Mike Y.
I dont know what all the rave is about. Maybe people are just hearing about sliders for the first time and they go to harrys and see these adorable minis. Well folks, just because something seems cool and is trending does it make it good. Ive had many burgers in my life and for all the hype about this place i think the burgers are just average. Their good but not as great as people say. Harrys is a fun place but i just dont think it lives up to its potential.
(2)Julia M.
First things first, this little joint is one of the best burger places around. The little burgers are always juicy, tasty, and a great size without making a huge mess! I'm a huge fan of the M.O.A.B. It is topped with mini fried onion strings which adds the perfect amount of flavor to this little sliders. You also get the option of salt & pepper or tangy sweet potato fries. Both are great options if you're into sweet potatoes. The atmosphere is kind of a cozy & rad setup. Service is good. Overall I give Harry's a four stars out of five definitely a must try burger restaurant! happy eating
(4)Josh W.
When the world is falling apart When my heart is broken When the zombies are running rampant When I'm with friends or enemies alike When I'm in jury duty and the gun is in my mouth... Harry's Saves Me Every Single Time. And here it is: Sliders: M.O.A.B (Mother of All Burgers) Fries: Chili& Cheese Drink: Ultimate Mudslide And then all is right with the world.
(5)Natasha G.
Man, I have loved Harry's ever since it opened, and I've been back countless times for all sorts of occasions -- low-key lunches to boozy happy hours to casual celebrations. Harry's is great for big groups or solo diners, though I will say, you probably shouldn't bother coming here if you're not a beef eater. The sliders are really the whole point of Harry's (though the beer/booze selection is also solid). They have boozy milkshakes, which I have not personally tried but have been told are delicious, and a pretty good short list of cocktails (including, surprisingly, a pretty good Sazerac -- not typical for a casual burger bar). My favorite thing to order is the MOAB (mother of all burgers, which has terrific toppings) and the sweet potato fries, which come with an amazing jalapeno aioli. The onion strings and regular fries are also pretty good, but I'm a sweet potato fry fiend so I have to get them. The sliders are the perfect thickness, with a good crust and juiciness. They use some good sweet buns, too, and the sliders are composed with a good balance of ingredients. I've tried all the desserts, and I really like the crack. I like to come for the happy hour, 3-5PM, when burgers are half price. There's an upstairs dining area if you're with a larger group. The decor is casual with some quirk -- I really find the bathroom decor pretty fun. I've found the service generally fast and attentive, though servers can seem a little harried during rush times. Any time that I've had a problem with my order (incorrect ingredients or a hair in my food... I forgive them), it's been corrected with grace. It's also on the way to the train station if you're coming from College Hill, and they're fas -- a great place to stop before catching a train.
(5)Dick D.
Finally got to eat here after hearing about it for so many years. Staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful. Food was unbelievable. Burgers are served as sliders. The order comes with two sliders Their "mother of all burgers" is their staple. I had the pastrami cheese burger and it was above my expectations. Highly recommended.
(5)Goldie H.
F U N G U S A M O N G U S YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I mean, come on. Sliders with truffle oil? COME ON!!! P.S. Happy Hour half priced sliders is totally worth it.
(5)Robert S.
Excellent sliders, sandwiches and brownies. The staff is prompt and the kitchen delivers food in just minutes. It is a well run establishment. I had the Meltdown Slider....beef burger, caramelized onions and melted cheese....Yum!!! The order comes with two delicious sliders. Fries need to be ordered separate. You can choose from downstairs or upstairs (which has larger tables). The selection of beer and cocktails are excellent and....the cocktails are very good. Some places have watered down drinks or mixes that just don't taste good. Harry's delivers. Check it out. Rated by some as the best burger joint in Providence.
(5)Miya B.
The Burgers come in slider form and they are delicious. I LOVE the Fungus Burgers. The Chocolate crack is also fantastic and worth trying.
(5)Danielle C.
Idk what to say except that I love this place!! Bacon bloody Mary's and pulled pork burgers!? YES! And the onion strings are awesome! Awesome beer selection and wine selection! The servers are friendly and sweet and this place is just a cool place to be.. I also really like their bathroom.
(5)Nate D.
I love the sliders here, I know nobody who has regretted getting them. I really love that they let you buy the burgers without having to pay for the sides too. Getting good burgers without having to pay for sides is fantastic! The atmosphere is nice and mellow, and the servers have been friendly for to me, at least. And of course what helps keep this place above the competition is its consistent good beer selection. I do miss the tabletop shuffleboard, but their reason is well justified - they said it was to make room for additional kegs (good enough for me).
(5)Jep G.
good sliders. not overcooked, not too heavy. nice atmosphere. long list of bottled beers. on tap selection could be improved. will be back
(4)Brian G.
Great service, good prices and the best slider/burger I've ever had.
(5)Kira P.
No crap beers but not a huge selection on draft. Bottle selection is good. Sliders are good small bar area even smaller TV. I was one of 4 people at the 6 person bar. 1 of the people was an employee and I had to call for the waitress to order. Service isn't great. I'll try Federal Hill location next time.
(3)Jamey B.
Quick fix sliders with some good little fries hits the spot at Harry's. The space is definitely more divey, with a great bar as you walk in. I usually only come here for lunch, so I can't comment on the beer selection. The crowd is pretty student heavy, with a handful of hipsters and business people thrown in. The tables downstairs are a bit awkward to sit at if you are close to 5 feet, but the food generally comes quickly enough. Good service, tasty food. Try the MOAB for a good crunch with your slider.
(4)Kevin S.
Outstanding sliders! Went on a weekday at lunchtime and the place wasn't very busy. Wait staff very attentive and helpful. Burgers, fries, chili were all delicious and the free refills on sodas and iced tea was a nice extra. Highly recommend!
(5)Tabitha A.
Burgers were incredible but the service just made the whole experience horrible. The wait staff took forever to take our order and never came to check on us until we were done with our meal and had no water for quite awhile. Food was off the charts but they need way better waitstaff
(1)Christina V.
Two delicious little sliders cooked to perfection... That is what brought Harry's rating up to 4 stars for me. The fries were delicious too. And if you happen to make it there between 3-5 their half off special can't be beat! That said, the place is TINY. When something is burnt is smoking - you will know it. Some staff is super friendly is wonderful, and some is, well, they make your visit almost uncomfortable. The wait for food was long, and if we hadn't snagged a seat at the bar the wait for a table - or having a place to stand to wait for a table - I can't even imagine! The bartender kept serving a belligerent guy sitting next to us, who was getting kind of sloppy and we weren't sure what to do... BUT. The burgers were amazing! For that, on a slow day, if there is one, I would return.
(3)Katie B.
Oh wow I love this place. My boyfriend and I wanted a late afternoon (too early for 'dinner') meal and some good drinks. Enter Harry's. It was busy when we got there - we had to wait for a table - but we grabbed a drink and hung out. The set-up of the restaurant could be off-putting to some. It's an old home that's been converted, so space is a premium for sure and the bar area felt a little cramped. We sat downstairs, so I can't speak to the upstairs, but once we were at our table we didn't notice the cramped quarters. The ambiance in general was great - a little noisy but relaxed. The service was good; not amazing, but not disappointing either. The food, however, was incredible. My bf got the wings to start, and I got an order of onion strings. Both were delicious. My main course was an order of Harry's Meltdown, and they were fab too. I finished my meal off with a Twinkie Caramel hard shake, and I was in heaven. I should mention that I did not realize Harry's serves sliders and not full size burgers. That was a most welcome surprise, because who doesn't love sliders? But I could see a patron being miffed if they weren't in the mood for a slider (or two or three). We'll be back for sure for a laid-back date night, and this will undoubtedly be a favorite place to bring out-of-town guests.
(4)Melissa M.
I've been to Harry's several times now and each time the service has been excellent. they offer every type of burger you could imagine and they have large beer selection. parking can be really tricky, but its easily accessible by foot. if your a meat eater go check them out.
(5)Dominic W.
I am a regular at Harry's and I'm usually very satisfied after the meal! The service is friendly, food comes relatively quickly, and the sliders are delicious. The secret sauce is great on each burger - I e pretty much tried all of them and loved it. The burger is usually juicy, the bun is soft and chewy, secret sauce!!! Unfortunately this visit, the patty was much drier. Not sure why, but I was a little disappointed. Perhaps it was overcooked, not as fresh, or had a different supplier?
(4)Angela I.
Burgers and I have never gotten along. They're big, the meat gets stuck in my teeth to a point where I feel primal, and they usually come with my least favourite cheese of all time - American. Harry's solves all of my burger dilemmas because they only make sliders. WIN for tiny foods! You wanted a burger? Sliders. Cheeseburger? Sliders with cheese. You thought ordered a chicken sandwich? Chicken. Sandwich. Sliders. Compared to burgers, the sliders are infinitely easier to eat, letting me maintain a facade of being a dainty carnivore. I usually order three, thinking I'm full around two and forcing the third one down until I'm stuffed because they are so tender and tasty. Now, if you've been to Harry's, you're probably thinking, "Yo, those sliders DO come with American cheese, though." And that is true (no cheese substitutions is probably my only complaint). But with amazing combinations like Fungus Among Us, where I can get my burger bedazzled with portobello mushrooms and truffle aioli, I can hardly taste the cheese, so it's no big. The sliders are best washed down with a chocolate shake, which you can booze up (the Ultimate Mudslide, which comes with Kahlua, Bailey's, and vanilla vodka, is my fave). The Madaket Mule, a variation of the Moscow Mule which Harry's does the right way (in a copper mug - heads up, you've got to give your ID as collateral!), is also a solid choice. The microbrews served up here are pretty decent, though I notice they tend to be IPAs. Fries aren't included with the sliders, but they're relatively inexpensive ($2.25 for the regular salt-and-pepper; shell out an extra buck and you can get sweet potato instead) and there are enough that you can usually split them with a friend. If you really want to renew your love for burgers, or if you're like me and you've been searching all over Providence to find a decent one, come for Happy Hour - sliders are half price from 3-5, seven days a week.
(5)Olivia P.
WOW. I eat vegan. I got the bean veggie burger which is amazing and the sweet potato fries. Everything is really fucking yummy and it just doesn't get better. I can't stop eating Harry's burgers. Oh my god. Favorite ever. These burgers are addictive. Beware.
(5)Elena M.
I was so excited to FINALLY try Harry's with my boyfriend the other night, and am saddened to say that I wasn't a huge fan. First, the entryway space is very narrow and I was face-to-face with the tray of a server who was rushing down the stairs as I entered the restaurant. We had a short wait time which was great. We placed our order and waited an average length of time for our meals to arrive. After we decided to add a second order of fries once we were already eating, I immediately regretted it. The server took a solid 15 minutes to bring us a second plate of fries! I totally understand the kitchen may get backed up sometimes, but at 5:30 on a Monday night? Finally, we received our bill. The hostess/our server were clearing the table next to ours while our paid check was sitting readily on the edge of our table. They cleared the entire table and walked around a bit before coming back to grab our money. I was really underwhelmed by this. All in all, the food is very good but the service needs some attention.
(3)Ben S.
Maybe it was the heavy rotation of Tribe Called Quest, with a dose of CL Smooth and Luniz thrown in. Might have been the thick, savory sauces in evidence again. Could have been the quality portions returning. Possible the full flavors at the fore. Mighta been the Southern Tier Pumking on tap. But regardless, Harry's seems to have returned to its strengths, and their core competencies make the place enjoyable and repeatable again. I'm pleased, and I suspect you will be too. I know my kids are, and so are my friends. That's a pretty fair sample of quality enjoyment. Come on back now, ya hear?
(4)Vina C.
I want to start off with, dear Harry's Owner guy.... I really miss the Blueberry Pancake Milkshake. Anyways, I love everything here. I've had all of the burgers at least once and it's always delicious ! I always go with the Onion Strings, with extra sauce, MOAB (only two) and a Blue Berry Pancake Milkshake. It always surprises me how I only need two to be full. Keep it up.
(5)Shaun L.
My wife and I finally ate here back in January and were very happy with the food. I ordered Harry's Classic with Cheese w/ double meat. The sliders came out quick and were delicious. With the first bite, the fresh burger gave you that seared outside but juicy inside that you want on a burger. The burgers are amazing, the beer selection is great if you enjoy local crafts, but everything else was standard. The wings were good but basic wings, the salt and pepper fries were just.... fries. My wife also ordered some brownie thing to finish off the meal. I was not too fond of it. I didn't enjoy the liqueur on it nor was the brownie even tasty. Overall great spot to grab some beer and burgers in Providence.
(4)Eralyn S.
Simply the best burger joint in Providence, RI!!! Theresa, our server was very friendly. We've tried their popular M.O.A.B. (Mother Of All Burgers) and the Turkey Burger but sweet potato fries with Kryptonite aioli is the bomb! With the cozy ambiance on top of the good food, it surely was quite worth stopping by to get a grub.
(5)Don S.
Been a fan of Harry's for a long time. One of the only places I can think of that has Butternuts Porkslap Pale Ale. Of course however, I go for the sliders which are really great.. and the chili cheese fries are pretty darn good too. The place is really small and I have seen a dip in service as of late, but I'm hoping it's just new staff or the like.
(4)Missy N.
Harry's happy hour is what I look forward to on Tuesday nights with friends. Everyday 3 to 5 burgers are 1/2 off as well as drinks! What is better than that?! The food is incredible and the service is superb.
(5)Colby Z.
You know that feeling when you eat an incredibly satisfying burger - like one of those ones that's fresh and juicy and melty and the tastiness just glides down your throat and you don't even take it out of your hand because it's also a bit messy but it is SO worth it because it's amazeballs so you eat the whole thing without putting it down and then it's all gone cuz you've eaten it all and you're like "HEY I'M SO SAD NOW!"??? Well, that doesn't happen at Harry's because you have TWO OF THEM! Harry's is my favorite burger place of all time. Period. The sliders are a perfect size and have always been cooked perfectly in my experience - juicy on the inside and a tad bit crispy on the outside. I can eat the two sliders without feeling like an overfull sloth who can no longer fit in my pants. My go-to is the crunch burger (I have a weakness for onion straws), but have tried others and they are all equally as delicious. Buns are always fluffy, produce is always fresh. The level of grease is always perfect. The prices, also, can't be beat. I try my best to go between 3pm-5pm when the burgers are half price, but will gladly pay full price for food this good. Be forewarned, the beer is where they get ya! They always have an eclectic mix on tap that can be tempting, but I advise splurging on the spiked ice cream instead. I can't think of a more fulfilling meal than a succulent burger (or two!), ice cream and booze. Boom! Day = made.
(5)Marietta M.
A group of us dined here Monday night and it was a fun time.burgers were delicious and service was great.we were not rushed. We will be back.

One of my favorite places to grab a burger and beer. It can get really crowded so seating is limited. I recommend getting the "Fungus Among us" burger with sloppy fries (loaded chili cheese fries). My drink is the "Old Speckle" brown ale as it's smooth going down the hatch. Plenty of beer options on tap so don't be shy to ask the bartender for a sample ;)
(5)Katalyst S.
I really like this place. I've come a couple of times now. I just like the vibe I think. Once when I came it was super cold and rainy outside so it felt great to sit a floor above street level and watch the people milling about outside. The happy hour is excellent because you can get cheap sliders and good beer. I just like knowing this place is here, honestly. Also, the service is always great :D
(4)Chintan M.
Very nice sliders, especially if you get them at their happy hour price!! Btw, don't get their fried onion as a side...these onions are good on your burger, but that's it!!
(4)Bob S.
A little dive in the middle of high end places. Best sweet potato fries I have ever had. Great sliders.
(5)Jax A.
I love this place and can always fit another burger. Fries and beer. You don't need to get wordy with it.
(5)Brian A.
You know that fast food burger you got that one time that was totally delicious and satisfying, but it was from Wendy's or McDonald's or something so you didn't talk about it? Harry's is that burger, except the ingredients are better, they have cold beer and sweet potato fries to go with it, and there's no regret. The M.O.A.B is a solid burger. Go between 3-5PM, get it for half-price (and pound a few cold beers with it) and it's even more solid. I definitely recommend adding some sweet potato fries onto your order. Coming from a man whose favorite food group is cheeseburgers (yes, that is a food group), this is worth your time and money. Super friendly staff, killer food, cold beer, and a nice mix of blues/rock for background music make this a must-go place.
(5)Rob S.
I been here 3 times and haven't been disappointed yet. Great place to try if your walking the streets of Providence.
(4)Tina P.
Tiny location so we sat at the bar. Our bartender was very cool and had a great drink selection. I love sliders but my boyfriend isn't a huge fan so he was more skeptical...Everything we ordered was delicious and we will definitely be back!

We were only in Providence for one night, and ventured here based on some Googling. The place is pretty cute inside, small, but they have a lot of beer options and the waiter was quick to recommend some. However, we placed our order, a cheeseburger and a bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. And proceeded to watch 2 other couples sit down, get their food, pay their bill AND LEAVE while we waited for our food. At that point I was mostly just curious. We watched a new table of five get their food. We ordered another round of drinks. Then our waiter asked us for our order again, said our ticket had been lost, and it would be right up. We STILL waited for quite awhile after this. Slightly longer than the average table was waiting after ordering for the first time. We watched the table of five get a second round of food delivered. We finally got ours. Their burgers come as 2 sliders. They were tasty, like classed up White Castle burgers. The fries were average. I was interested in dessert but at this point we had been waiting an hour to get burgers, and our waiter had suddenly disappeared so I couldn't order anyway. We had a race to run the next day so when we finally saw him, we asked for the bill instead. Nothing at all was comped on the bill. Now I wasn't angling for something free. I would have been just as satisfied if our burgers were truly done on the fly, like next out of the kitchen - but everyone in the room has a view of the window - and they weren't. Or perhaps a visit from a manager to apologize. Our waiter barely said anything to us after we finally got our food. I used to be a waitress and simply could not fathom how this was being handled. I'm sure this was a fluke, but at the same time, this is NOT how you deal with a mistake. We only got one meal in Providence and were seriously let down by Harry's.
(2)Bob C.
Good food, great prices(half price sliders from 3-5 every day) and great service. Nice beer selection! Tried two or the three Bloody Mary's.
(4)Barbara P.
Stopped by with a couple of friends after painting next door on a Thursday night. Not sure if it was the cold keeping people away, but we were able to be seated immediately around 9pm (when we left around 11 it was full...the place is NOT large so it didn't take much). Our waitress was fantastic, super friendly and she found a spot to store our not-yet-dry paintings while we ate. I had the veggie burger sliders and sweet potato fries. Both were great, not greasy at all and just the right portion sizes. I had read earlier reviews about the kryptonite aioli and was expecting to be wowed, but it was just ok. The fries were perfect all by themselves. I also got the ice cream sandwich for dessert...now, normally I scoff when a waiter/waitress asks if I want to share my dessert, but this time I should have listened, it was HUGE! I would guess at least three inches thick of ice cream on two palm-sized chocolate chip cookies. I ALMOST didn't finish it. My dining companion tried the much raved about chocolate crack, but wasn't a huge fan. Again, sometimes it's better to go in without expectations. My one complaint would be they were out of the first beer on the menu I ordered, but there were plenty of other choices so it wasn't a huge deal. All in all, a place I definitely would go again.
(4)Kevin M.
Who doesn't love a place with a great burger? no one I want to know. These great little burgers with all their unique flavor and soft little buns are fantastic. I have only tried a few kinds but all have been great. Get the sweet potato fries with the kryptonite sauce; its fantastic. they have two locations in providence and both are great to go hang out and have a couple drinks. They usually have some decent craft Brews on tap.
(4)Kristine T.
What stood out for me was the awesome beer selection and fun atmosphere. I got to try some really interesting beers and the waiter was very knowledgeable about them. Be warned: this place is tiny! And the sliders are pretty small too, and they don't come with fries. But they're still good!
(4)Jeff B.
The burgers and the service are tremendous. I've eaten here a whole lot of times and have never been disapppointed. Sweet potatoe fries with the aioli are a can't miss. Great bloody mary's with three different flavors. The beers are always rotating except for some reason they manage to keep speckled hen on tap which is usually never something I would drink beer wise. Service is always friendly. Only downfall is bathroom is close to seats which "stinks" if you have no choice but to sit there.
(5)Karen G.
Love this place. They only serve sliders, but they are oh so delicious!! Good beer and drink selection. Good happy hour as well.
(5)Lisa S.
Delicious little sliders! Two sliders come to an order, but you can order three if you want. Very cute little place. Cheese fries were just so-so, but I won't hold it against this place. We ate up at the bar and the bartender was very attentive and friendly. We would definitely return!
(4)Steve V.
Nice spot for a quick inexpensive bite to eat in downtown Providence. The portions are small (every burger is slider size) but the food is delicious. Best seating is upstairs. Can be quite loud and when busy, it takes a while to be served but it's not too bad overall. I will be back there again.
(3)Sue B.
I went to Harry's when it first opened and I wasn't a fan but I really wanted to give it a try again and I did... well, I changed my mind, very good sliders, let me correct this... awesome turkey sliders and love the sweet potatoes fries... also, the half-off between 3 and 5 was such a great deal
(4)Danae K.
I've been coming to this place for 4 years. I always get their sliders (mother of all burgers is mouth watering) with fries and the bourbon infused milkshake. I have never had a bad experience here, and I come very frequently!
(5)Michael J.
I've spent way too much money at this place because I love their fungus burgers, MOAB burgers, half price burger happy hour, beer selection, awesome staff, and chili fries. The alcoholic shakes are a good idea, but honestly not that great. The brownie bites are dry and not too good both times I've tasted them. Stick with the burgers here and go to Luxe as well cause they're the same owners and have great burgers also. I don't like that it's always cold in there. On the hottest, most humid summer days it's great to go in there and cool off but generally they're pumping the AC even if they don't need to. And in the winter, it's really drafty so it never really stays warm. Everything else makes up for it.
(4)Kevin M.
I've never had such an amazing burger experience. From the great service to the mouth watering burgers, I can say I love Harry! Their prices are great and love the location!!
(5)Charlene F.
Ok I'm updating my review (better score) these little tasty sliders are pretty damn delicious! Skip the fries they're like shoestring frozen bagged & disgusting (and I'm not a picky fries person). Tried the hot dog with cheese & bacon today and did not like it at all. The hotdog tasted weird...if u like spikes u probably won't like this one cuz it doesn't compare. I will only eat spikes hotdogs (& maybe the occasional five guys hot dog). But the score is the burger sliders... If u like five guys burgers u will like Harry's. Next time I'm skipping fries and hot dog and double order of sliders!
(4)Yana R.
The burgers were really nothing special. They were actually super thin, and just not ...meaty enough. But I guess that's what i should have expected for the price. The sweet potato fries though were amazingly crispy and came with the best sauce. I have to say they were the best sweet potato fries I have every had. That's the main reason this place still gets three stars. The onion strings were good and super addicting, but I typically like the thicker onion rings with thicker batter. Probably not coming back because I like a nice meaty burger where the meat itself is the experience.
(3)Yumiko M.
Walking up to the place it was great!! The ambiance inside matched the outside as well. At first, everyone was warm and welcoming and it seemed like a good spot to have some lunch. Our boys were with us and I was a little skeptical about having them in a beer and burger joint, but at that time of day, it was perfectly fine - it was just your average crowd enjoying a burger and some of them had a breweski. The only downfall to the ambiance is that in the area we were sitting in, there were only high-top tables and if you're vertically challenged as I am, it was a little difficult to climb into the chairs.. The menu was short and sweet and all the burgers were served as sliders. The choices all seemed delicious and it took us a while to decide what we wanted. Everything was fine up to this point. Then our server took our order and everything changed... My son wanted a hot dog with bacon and tomatoes (I don't know where he got it from), which the server said was fine, but when it came, it had onions!! My son looked at me as if it were my fault and wouldn't say a word, he would only look at me then his hot dog and back again. When I told the server he says, "Oh! I thought you said onions! We don't have tomatoes here!! I''m sorry about that, I'll have them fix it for you!" Easy enough save and he was happy after that. We ordered our appetizer of wings with the boys food. When our wings came, they were good, but I think I'm attributing it to the fact that we were ravenous and had just finished driving from New Jersey. When my boyfriend and I got our food, I was happy but he wasn't. I ordered something along the lines called a crunch burger or something to that effect. Basically, it was a cheeseburger slider with crunchy onion strings on it - LOVED IT!! My boyfriend however, was supposed to get a double wide with NO onions which consisted of a double patty but instead got something they called a "moat" - not only does it sound completely different, but it has completely different ingredients on it too. This slider had mushrooms and crispy onions on it and all of it came with his order. If it wouldn't have taken forever and a million years for the server to come back and check on us, he wouldn't have eaten it, but as I said before, we were really hungry from the drive. When the server came around and asked how we were doing, finally, we asked him about the sliders and he said everything with a smile but aloof at the same time - weird, I know..When the check came, he still charged for the error and said that he could have changed had he known earlier, but he could offer a dessert instead. All we really wanted to do was get out of there. So, all in all, the food was good, but the service killed it. The prices for everything was pretty decent too. apparently they were having half off the burgers from 1500 to 1700 I believe, which worked in their favor, but not too much.
(2)John D.
Been here many times. Can not beat the half off burgers 3-5 weekdays. the best burgers (in my opinion): pig pile, crunch burger, double wide. also i've gone with people who have enjoyed the turkey burger. Harry's updates the draft beer menu fairly often and has plenty of drink options. Also, i strongly recommend the regular fries.
(5)Brian G.
Gotta love sliders and cider. 2 double burger sliders and a salty fries with a strange cider = terrific and will keep me going through dinner.
(4)Jake R.
I don't even know where to begin the burgers are to die for!!!!! I recommend the M.O.A.B. Burger!!!!! Staff is friendly fast and the food is always consistent. If you like beer just like I do order "DAS BOOT" and let them choose the beer for you! Defiantly recommend as my number one burger place in providence.
(5)Steve P.
Awesome burgers. Moved here from Cali where they have hamburgerstands on every corner. Came to providence and had multiple really bad experiences. The sliders and drinks are really good here. Definitely a repeater.
(5)Amanda C.
If you have a gluten allergy or your looking for a server to kiss your a**, this isn't the place for you. If you are looking for an awesome burger it is. Yummy sliders and Nas and The pharcyde on the radio hell yes.
(4)Michelle A.
Was only in town for only a couple hours and we saw this place on yelp so we decided to stop by, and boy are we glad we did! Such a comfortable environment, great selection of beer, awesome service, and most importantly the most TASTIEST burgers!!! Would definitely come here again! Make sure you get the sweet patato fries with their special green sauce, SO good!
(5)Meelynna L.
Best sliders you will find! When we first came here, we didn't realize that the burgers were sliders until we opened the menu. The MOAB is my go to and my bf loves the pulled pork on top of the slider! We love sweet potato fries and theirs are fantastic! We can never go wrong when we go to Harry's!
(5)James P.
Cool bar to have an excellent slider and beer. Good selection of craft beers and friendly service. Price is reasonable, can't beat it.
(4)Xiao Z.
Certainly a cute little bar/burger/slider joint that I would have driven by multiple times without my friend's recommendation. The wait, unlike what I read, wasn't really all that bad if you come at 2pm, and it's important since all burgers are half off between 3-5pm! I tried the chicken BLT and the beef pastrami burgers, both were surprisingly juicy, served warm on a pair of potato bread buns. The serving (in terms of price) was smaller than what I had hoped for the price, but the quality was definitely well worth the journey. I recommend trying out the sweet potato fries with their special green sauce! I can only imagine how quickly your wallet can go on a diet when you come here at night after a couple of beers in you! Maybe I'll try that next time. Food: 4 stars Price: 3 stars Service: 3 stars
(4)Camille T.
I've driven by the cow on North Main St more times than I can count, but tonight was the first time I've come to Harry's. It's extremely casual. Burgers are served in baskets, nachos and fries are served in cardboard boats. The food is good, though. It's sit-down fast food. Not my favorite, but the burgers are great an there are a ton of beer choices! I'm sure we'll be back!
(4)Virginia Y.
My friends at Brown rave about this place. It was my first meal in Providence. I ordered the MOAB burger, I love the portion sizes at this place. They're sliders but they're pretty filling. The best part was indefinitely the bacon for me. The burgers were okay, they're not juicy but they weren't dry either. My friend ordered salt and pepper fries with their truffle sauce which I found to be quite delightful to my liking. Another friend had a brownie which I sampled, all I can say is " chocolate goodness." They also serve alcoholic milk shakes, it kind of tricks you since you don't really taste the alcohol yet but all in all, still really good. The only thing I didn't like was how long it took to seat us, it was about a 30 - 45 min wait for a group of 8...
(4)Jack C.
The sliders here are delicious, and I especially recommend that Moab. Also get the side of fried onions... They're incredibly good. My only complaint is that service is pretty bad, often taking very long to take an order and sometimes the wait for food is bizarrely long.
(4)Molly L.
Harry's is my go-to spot for burgers in providence. The "burger" is really 2 mini burgers, which I prefer, since it's so much easier to eat that way, for ~$5. The buns are grilled, not mushy or cold, and the fillings are phenomenal. I love the M.O.A.B. (Mother of All burgers) which comes with fried onion strings, bacon, meat, lettuce and the Fungus among Us which has deliciously grilled mushrooms inside. I recommend also getting the chili fries (cheese+chili+jalapenos) as a side... perfect meal! If you have a slight sweet tooth after eating those burgers, RESIST THE TEMPTATION. We got the Irish crumb brownie bites which ended up to be a real disappointment. The brownies were slightly-cold (aka not fresh) brown bits with some chocolate whiskey sauce and not appetizing at all. Overall, love the burgers here. If you can't resist a deal, go in 3-5PM, and the burgers will be half off!!!
(4)Anna P.
I would have liked more info on what kind of meat they serve, and not only if it has been frozen or not. Unclear if the beef was grass fed, organic, hormone free or humanly raised. Big minus. The sliders were quite tasty. I would probably have liked it better if I could choose what kind of bun they came with. The fries were normal / mediocre. Don't come here if you are in a hurry, they really take their time making your food. Good bang for your buck though.
(3)Kristine R.
What I remember the most about this place is the amazing service we got here and the funky decor. It's a small space that features bold contrasting colors (red, black, white, brown). Its has retrofitted bathroom signs, cow spotted prints and high top dark wood furnishings. I always ask for the staff's recommendations for drafts and food. The waiter didn't disappoint. He took into consideration our tastes and the popular picks. He also accurately described the daily draft's flavors for a novice beer drinker like myself. The waiter was pretty chill and got our sarcastic humor. *brownie points* The food was well prepared. The M.O.A.B sliders tasted pretty awesome, messy, cheesy, saucy and oozing with flavor. The chili fries were all sorts of delicious. Not to mention, addicting. Come with good company, great conversation and they will take care of the rest!
(5)Todd S.
Stopped in for lunch, due to a great recommendation from Andy Kerr! Had a combination of turkey burgers and sweet potato fries, with several glasses of homemade iced tea. I am still in awe of the great meal. Service was very attentive and quick, for such a small place.
(5)Keyser S.
I love this place. Seriously. I've never been a huge slider fan, but the flavor of these little burgers is just amazing.
(4)Matt C.
Ok, but nothing amazing.
(3)S S.
Outstanding service, great food, great beer, and extremely reasonable prices. The only knock against this place is the parking, which isn't really their fault. I took my girlfriend here (on her recommendation) and invited two friends to meet her. My friends and my girlfriend are all into beer, and everyone loves burgers, right? The menu says "No substitutions", but don't worry; there is enough variation that you can find something you like, maybe by taking something off when it arrives. But you won't want to. The burgers were cooked perfectly, and you get two of them per order (three if you pay about a buck extra). They're sliders, but still, amazing. Their fries are also excellent, just the right size and crispness. The beers are slightly pricey, but you can get the really good stuff here, not the swill and standard popular beers that most burger joints will sell you. Also, their deserts? Get the chocolate crack, no matter how odd it may read in the description. Their ice cream sandwiches are good too, enough for a meal themselves, but the crack? It alone is worth the effort to go here. It's worth the effort to find parking. You will enjoy yourself, I promise you!
(5)L P.
Favorite spot for burgers and beer in RI!
(5)Paul W.
I do like the sliders on the potato rolls -very good, But the onion fries are almost as bad a canned rings. Everything is served in platic trays so not a place for anything upscale. The place is also a bit clautrophobic and not comfortable at all. Not a good place for groups larger than 2. They played head banging music turned way up, to the dismay of about 90% of the patrons. Staff was pleasant and informative however. If I go again it would be for Take-Out Only. Too many places have great sliders to put up with the bad ambience.
(2)Vinny G.
We tried Harry's last night for their grand opening. I was pleasantly surprised by the cool decor, relaxed... chill atmosphere, great beer selection, and fun crowd. They went with a bit of a cow theme, which totally works... and bonus... they have a life size replica cow right out front. Other great features: -Amazing beer selection, including some heady draft brews -SHUFFLE BOARD table in the downstairs game room -Wait... did I mention they have a GAME ROOM?!? -Diverse seating options - bar stools, high tops, regular tables... -Cute waitresses and bartenders! -Awesome food, reasonably priced. Remember, next time your friends want to go wait in line at Olives.... head across the street towards the Giant Cow!
(4)Tom L.
Really, one of the highlights of our trip to Providence. The food is just so good, and fairly priced. And the DRINKS are AMAZING! My partner had a drink that tasted like a chocolate milkshake, and I had a drink that was like a root beer float with vanilla ice cream. WOW. And the drinks are cheap... I think our drinks were like $8 each. Waitress was friendly and helpful. We LOVED this place.
(5)Jessica S.
the funghi burger and sweet potato fries were very good. cute little place. what was not good was the icky green aoli that came with the fries. we did not like that and it does not go well with the fries. stick with some sort of honey maple mustard. also there was ketchup but no mustard or salt/pepper.
(4)Kyle S.
I'm usually a pretty patient person but the wait for food at Harry's tested it. When the burgers finally came out they were decent but they weren't enough satisfy my man-sized hunger. They have a decent beer selection, which included a cask conditioned English bitter ale. In the back part of the restaurant you can see the cooks flipping the burgers, maybe this is a subtle hint to throw them a few extra dollars so you can get your food in less than 2 hours.
(2)Cara G.
I like Harry's... and would love to like it more. But I struggle. The sliders are great. Being a smaller appitite person, I am sometimes overwhelmed by portions. The sliders at Harry's are perfect for me, and boy are they cooked right. I have tried both their beef variety, as well as the veggie bean burger. Both have been top notch. I dont wanna scare big appitite lovers away, they definitly offer great sides and multiple opportunities for filling up!! (i.e. great seasonal and not-your average brews). I do love Harry's food (I would give the burgers, salt and pepper, and sweet potato fries 5 stars)... but I am a sucker for good service and just cant seem to find it here. Each time I have been the service has been not so swell. I feel like there might be a party in the back room because no one emerges. I run out of water, beer (dear lord), and even was once charged for a dessert when no one in my party even ordered one.... I'm gonna stick with my 3 stars. I'll go back, only if i need sweet potato fries and a fungus amoung us burger......
(3)Rebecca R.
I LOVE their sliders! When I have a serious craving for a burger I go here. Actually... just thinking about Harry's makes me want to go there now! I have never had a bad burger. I've had the fries, chili fries, wings, soup, chocolate crack, and hot dogs. Everything is always great! Their sliders are priced exactly what they should be and 3-5 daily they're half off. My only complaint (and the only reason they don't get 5 stars) is the pricing of some of their other food items. A cup of chicken soup is $5. Which btw it does not say on the menu what size you're getting. I was not happy when they brought me a cup of soup for $5, maybe thats my problem for not asking first. A small portion of wings are almost $8. Their alcohol, beer and hard liquor, is way over priced for the atmosphere they're trying to achieve. I can see a "high class" place charging almost $9 for cocktail, but not a burger joint. Sorry thats just me. I HIGHLY recommend them for a great burger or hot dog and if you're not as cheap as me the soup and wings are great as well. As far as the service goes, I've never had a problem. I'm there a few times (probably more) a month. Maybe I just get lucky or have a gift for picking the right times to go. No complaints about the service here.
(4)Sarah O.
Delicious homemade veggie bean burgers and sweet potatoe fries. Great beer selection. Very helpful staff. Casual/hipster vibe. I'll definitely be back soon.
(4)A Z.
Word of advice: Don't let your eyes wander around the menu, just get the burgers. So I've had the burgers, a hotdog and buffalo wings here. The burgers are where it's at. You get two sliders, and if you get in for happy hour, all sliders are half off. All of the sliders seem to be pretty tasty. I like the burgers with pulled pork on them, but the regular ones with ketchup and mustard are just dandy too. Parking is a minor nuisance, but not terrible. It's street parking, but there's a lot of it, so you might have to drive around the block once or twice, but what's new? Overall, this is a cool place if you plan on doing a bit of drinking, since their portions are so miniature, you can gobble and drink a little at a time (or a lot at a time).
(4)alyssa a.
We went there on a whim the past two Saturday nights. It's a good place to stop for a beer and quick bite after a concert or evening shopping trip, which was the case for us. If you're looking for atmosphere or a memorable experience, go elsewhere. A big plus was the free valet parking & the attendant, who we got both times and remembered us. He was by FAR the friendliest person we've encountered there. Both times, we were in the back behind the bar (not realizing there's more seating upstairs), which is probably just as well since if the service was this bad while we were in plain view, I can only imagine what would have happened if we were further away. The burgers were good, the sweet potato fries were okay, and we were happy with the beer selection. I've been a server & all you have to do is be efficient & friendly. Fail. Last week is was OK - not terrible, but far from great. The second time I was really annoyed. We were treated like we were cutting into her social time and had to practically BEG to pay & leave while she endlessly chatted with the next table. I don't think either one ever introduced herself, and neither seemed at all interested in doing their job. My advice: bring the valet guy in-house & get some personality in there.
(3)Ben S.
They serve sliders only, which are slightly different from burgers so the name is a bit misleading. That being said, fantastic sliders. Great lunch prices, great beer selection (30+ beers), and we had a really friendly waitress. I will be going back many times
(4)John H.
Bout the 4th time there. It is what it is. Great beer selection and fantastic burgers. We usually sit at the bar. The bartenders and staff are very friendly and layed-back. If your going for low-cal, low-carb, not your place.
(4)K H.
My husband and I are obsessed with this place!! The burgers are absolutely delicious!! They also have a wicked good beer list!!! Every time we are in the Providence area we stop in to Harry's!!
(5)Kavia K.
The sliders are the perfect size and amazingly tasty :) Happy hour is the best
(5)Glenn C.
Cool vibe...Great beer selection and burgers, salt and pepper fries were good. The buffalo wings were also excellent. Portions were good - not huge but in line with the reasonable prices. Our server was friendly and helpful.
(4)James M.
You can say a lot about Harry's Burgers and Bar. This is Bar food on steroids! All burgers are two sliders at a time and all priced at about five bucks... You also have hot dog choices and of course desserts. They always have local beers on tap and a lot of times they have a room temperature keg which is an Amazing to have. The ambience is awesome with old beer taps all around the windows a small dinning area on the main floor with more dinning upstairs. If you have a chance to use the restroom you will find yourself watching a always streaming movie at the time of my bathroom experience DodgeBall was on! If you decide that you need dessert make sure you get the chocolate crack! I won't spoil what's in it but don't forget it
(4)Raf H.
I've been wanting to try this place for quite awhile, finally I went there this afternoon with a high expectations; after sitting outside for about 10 to 15 min with no service; I decided to go inside to get service myself only to be told that we have to wait another 20 minutes with no explanations why!!!!!???At this point we just left with a great disappointment.
(1)Cassandra P.
Harry's is absolutely wonderful! I tend to make my way to Harry's during their special when Burgers are half price! Which I believe is from 3-6 pm... Their delectable sliders with a nice variety to choose from and the atmosphere is not your common every day spot! You can chalk up the entire joint and have a HUGE selection of beers to choose from as well :)
(5)Travis A.
I absolutely love this place. There is very little I can say about Harry's that won't sound like a love affair. However, I digress, it's not all rainbows and gumdrops. CONS: Beer Prices - This is the biggest reason I can not give this place a full 5. The beers on tap (and some of the bottles), and ridiculously overpriced. I can not and will no justify $6.50-$7.00 for a BBC IPA. Everywhere else I go it's between $4.50 & $5. Murphys in downtown doesn't even charge that for a Two roads Rye 95 which is a better bear with more Alchohol. The G Pub in downtown charges the same for a Founders Old Dirty Scotch Ale, and that's an import and rated one of the best beers ever made. Don't buy beer here. You will be taken for a ride. On top of which, the selection is pretty mediocre for then being so high. Service - An ongoing issue in Providence and it's no exception here. I know it's a beer bar so it's not going to be top level like Gracies or Persiman, however, can you at least keep some sort of professionalism behind the bar? There is this one woman who is there frequently (glasses, usually works slow nights during the week), who is just a hot mess behind the counter. She is has dropped or broken something everytime I have been in, her laughs are loud and super obnoxious during quiet times so the whole resturant heres it. Her gossip just flails on and on. I get it, you are comfortable at your job, you coworkers are friends. That being said, not everyone wants to hear about your night out or issue with someone. I know I don't want to hear it when I am trying to enjoy some food after a long night at work. Also, if it's busy, don't expect to get food quickly. You will wait anywhere from 5-10 mins after you sit for a waiter to walk up, then another 5-10 if you haven't decided on drinks yet, and another 5-10 for food if you don't know what you want yet either. This happens because the waiters there can not multi task at all. On top of which are talking with co-workers to much to get a move on. Be ready to order as soon as you sit. It will save you time. Keep in mind, I have been in about a dozen times not, and this happens about 50% of the time. PROS: The Burgers & Dogs: Best hamburgers & Hotdogs in Providence hands down. The sliders are always juicy, flavorful, & cooked just right everytime. So many selections of sliders to choose from with each topping being special in its own way. Plus, potato buns? Can you ask for much more? The hotdogs are large. Nice foot longs with some weight to them. Juicy all beef dogs, just as if you were making them on the grill during the 4th of July. Again, potato roll with it. Should I say more? Happy Hour - Not only are these silders amazing, but, you can get them half off between 3-5 during the week if you eat in. You can get 4 sliders for $5-$7. Such an amazing deal if you can make it and know how good their sliders are. Milk Shakes: Also killing it on the shakes. 4.50 for Non Alchoholic which is fine by me because they look, and taste like a classic 50's diner shake. Yum. Overall, I highly recommend Harry's and have gone back a bunch. The bad service part of the time and overpriced beer is not enough to keep my away from those burgers and shakes.

Had the Moab burger and it was awesome! Wife had the black bean burger, and she couldn't stop raving about it. Wish the bottle of beer I got had been a little colder, but overall great place!! Don't forget to try the cookie ice cream sandwich and to hit up some of the chocolate crack! Cookie sandwich is a 2 man job, but the crack is a small enough serving that you will not want to share.
(5)Philip E.
Excited to visit in Downtown Providence, very good attentive and knowledgable waitress service. The beer menu is extensive with both tap and bottled beer, half pints available also. Classic cheese sliders were good, chili fries just ok. Will come back again.
(3)Katie S.
We had pretty terrible service, but the food was AMAZING and somewhat made up for it. I got the turkey burgers, which were SO unusual and delicious. The sweet potato fries were also great. We shared the chocolate brownie shake, which was fine but nothing all that special. Next time, I'd try a different one.

OMG... New fave late night place to eat. I keep late hours & sometimes it's just nice to have a place to eat & drink. Went to Julian's first but came here bc Julian's was only serving snacks -at 10p Harry's was a MUCH better late night option! What I had: sliders =fungus among us & pig pile. Delicious. I like the diff flavors (all the slider choices r nicely varied in flavor combos) & beef is good quality, well cooked & moist. The pulled pork in pig pile was melt in ur mouth soft & they didn't over sauce it (which is what usually happens w/BBQ). Sweet potato fries w/aioli. Also great although wish it was spicy. Octoberfest beer. The bottled beer selection is great, but wish there was more draft beer selection- only 4-5 beers in tap TIP: Harry's, tens steak & sushi, XO, & ricks roadhouse are part of the same food group. Join the rewards membership thing at any of these restaurants, get points for every dollar & accrue enough points to get free credit at any of them. Not a bad deal since I will def be back to Harry's
(5)Melanie D.
I have two positive things to say! The hostess was very pleasant and accommodating and the food was good. Otherwise we were two very dissatisfied customers. The bartender was very inattentive and actually pretty disgusting as she not only sneezed in her hand and counted money but did not ever wash her hands before reaching for a lime for our drinks which of course we declined. The manager was present as a waitress had asked for and had a drink of alcohol. Another waitress went behind the bar and helped herself to a drink as she poured two samples for customers. We've always enjoyed it but haven't been there for about a year. Things have certainly changed and not for the better! No reason to go back! It was gross!!!!

Really amazing Burgers in a cool atmosphere. Let's face it sliders are very popular, but it's a fad that should be going away because usually people do not know how to cook them. They are generally thin dried-out flavorless bits of meat inside a bun with some gunk on them. Not here. These are delicious bites that are the perfect proportion of meat (which steals the show as it is so moist and succulent) and the various toppings. Nice drink list, and an excellent selection of bottled beer. Only five taps unfortuanately, and a terrible selection. C'mon people, lots of us have tried Pork Slap as it has those two cute pigs belly bumping on the can, but it is a truly vile beer- horrible. And to waste one of your taps on that crap is almost a sin. Overall excellent experieice, and would give it 4.5 stars if possible. Will go back next time I am in the area for sure.
(4)Lisa R.
This is a good place to come for sliders. I have been here a few times. I would like to have more draft beer selections. The burgers are good, they are sliders which is great for portion control. Everyday from 3 - 5 burgers are 1/2 off, which is a good deal. Our service was very good.
(3)Siri U.
Good burgers, TERRIBLE atmosphere. The lighting is awful, the walls are dirty, and the service is shit. I came in one night and one of the servers was wearing her pajamas. She was also super rude.
(2)J H.
What do you guys see in this place? The food clearly is an after thought. Buffalo wings 6 pcs of standard non meaty wings tossed in buffalo sauce and 3 tiny pieces of celery for $7.69. Disappointing to say the least. The burgers are just ok. The fries both the regular and sweet are shitty frozen products. I swear the food is all off the Sysco truck. The chocolate crack. Stale and cold. The server we had was great. The beer list was great. Overall a blah experience will not be back.
(2)Liz T.
I've refrained from reviewing Harry's for a long time because I wanted to really evaluate the place on its own merit and not on the fact that I'm not really a "beer and burger" kina gal. But frankly, I've totally digged the vibe ever since stepping foot into this cute little eclectic abode. And yes, I'm totally a regular there now. From the cow sculpture outside (which is missing some parts?) to the full bar being up front, marking the entrance way to Harry's, I've loved this place from the start. A few things I would recommend if you're a little like me: 1) Chicken BLC sliders. 2) Kryptonite and special sauce. 3) Guinness and bailey's brownie bites (seriously SO freaking good). I totally dig the sauces. And yes, I am a saucy kinda gal. Oh and BTW. Half-off happy hour burgers from 3-5pm DAILY. One of Providence's best kept secrets!!! Something I totally get excited for if given the chance to eat out at that time.
(4)Sarah C.
My fiance discovered this place one Friday, and we were back again on Sunday we liked it so much. Small (so be warned) but very cute, with awesome sliders, fries, and beer. The bartender let me try out some beers when I was unsure of what I wanted. I ended up getting a Bloody Mary and it had a big ol' slice of bacon in it, yum! We love this place, we only went on off-peak hours though so not sure how busy it gets.
(4)Joe P.
Superb chili sliders! Nice beer selection. Excellent for lunch, especially, a late lunch with the the half price burgers 3-5pm. Very prompt and cheerful service.
(5)Dave L.
Went here with slightly high expectations based on the ratings. I'll keep it simple; Service - poor. Is 'Disaffected" the work ethos of the under-30 generation? 10 minutes for the hostess to appear, 10 minutes for the waitress to show up once we were at the table. It wasn't that busy. Food - burgers (actually sliders) were good, not great. Fries were standard frozen shoe-string style. I did like the onion strings, but the chipotle dipping sauce was terrible. It had a very unpleasant taste, completely outside of any heat the sauce had. Cleanliness - poor. Dirty floors; large dirty trash bin right behind our table; menus with schmutz on them; bartender handled several dirty glasses with his fingers inside to carry them while pulling a draught, then handled that fresh draught. I watch things and notice stuff like this - it sucks because I can't ignore it. Other thoughts: While I liked my sliders, I don't really like the whole slider concept. I'm a big boy so give me a big boy burger. I can handle it. The whole slider thing is annoying now, much like the cupcake craze. Enough already. Food served in plastic baskets sucks. Give me a goddamn plate! I'm not into kitsch, I'm not into whatever hipster vibe this represents. I want real food served with some respect for me, the diner. Put some effort into making me feel like you value my business. Harry's has good beer, a lot of potential, but too many minuses. I am not a fan.
(2)Rob J.
Yes, burgers are very tasty, with good variety. Hot dogs also pretty amazing (chili dog-wow) as are the fries. If I'd had a drink or two probably would have given five stars, but it was a school nite.
(4)Justin B.
Great concept, Sliders and fries, with good beer on draft. The burgers are delicious, but I always need to get a threesome, thats when you add a 3rd burger to your order. The sliders are small but the prices reflect that, so adding a 3rd burger is not expensive. The selection of toppings are all well thought out and work great. I love all fries and some people have strong opinions on thin fries. The only drawbacks are the service, size, and Cleanliness. All 3 need attention, size can't change but the other 2 can and they go hand in hand. Better trained staff will help this place so much. I have given this place 4 stars not 3 because the burgers are that tasty that I can put the food ahead of service.
(4)Nicole A.
Harry's offers half-priced burgers every day from 3-5 pm. That alone is reason to give the place a try. My man and I checked it out the other day and we had a swell time enjoying delicious burgers and fries, plus we each had a beer and our check totalled just under 20 bucks. We loved our burgers. He had the MOAB, I had The Fungus Among Us. We both had salt and pepper french fries. The burgers were hot and juicy and served on delightfully soft potato rolls. The service was friendly and efficient and our food arrived faster than we expected. Not one to make a habit of complaining about stuff that is free, I can't help but at least mention that the tap water here tastes pretty lousy. It tastes just as bad at my house, so I can't fault them for that. And it is free afterall, so I should just shut my mouth about it... We'll go back to Harry's again for sure.
(4)Analien A.
I ate twice at Harry's Bar & Burger during a business trip to Providence. It was within walking distance of my hotel, the Providence Biltmore. Harry's has a lovely beer list and delicious food, and good service as well. The portion sizes may look small (two slider-type burgers in an order) but I could barely finish!
(4)Bob B.
Really enjoyed my first two visits here. First time was a quick lunch run that was a good time. The lunch deal is pretty cheap but fortunately, you don't get what you paid here. The sliders and fries were both tasty and fresh. On the second visit, I hung out at the bar with a buddy. I tried the pastrami sliders which were a crazy good. My friend actually ordered a second round apparently to confirm how good they were. And yeap, they were just as good. The beer selection was good as well so really, how can you go wrong with this type experience? Oh wait, I know how. I parked in a loading zone and got a $30 ticket. Even so, I was glad I went. I will just pay a bit more attention to the vague Providence parking signs next time. (grin)
(4)Joe A.
One of my favorite places to eat hands down. The burger buns are awesome. Also you have to get the sweet potato fries over the reg fries they are so much better. My wife likes the pig pile burger but I am a fan of the duo. The half off 3-5pm is an awesome deal as well. There is also a great beer selection. Overall this is a place that you will come back to time and time again.
(5)Katrina G.
I'm a regular. Great fresh sliders and yummy margaritas. I'm not a beer drinker, but I hear they also have a good beer selection. Very reasonable for simple dinner and drink. Oh yes, also love love the ice cream sandwich--yummy.
(4)Lindsay S.
I've been to Harry's too many times to count, and every time is amazing. Half priced sliders from 3-5 can't be beat! The salt and pepper fries are perfectly seasoned, and the kryptonite sauce for the sweet potato fries is not to be missed. My personal favorites are the pulled pork sliders and the turkey sliders (fantastic spice level here). They have great hard cider, my favorite. Great service (shout out to Bruce). Their hard milkshakes are AMAZING. The chocolate crack isn't shabby either.
(5)Rogaa S.
Came here for the first time this past Sunday. I've heard of them before but they always slipped my mind, till i was pleasantly surprised by my friends and just taking me here. There is a downstairs and upstairs outdoor seating. its not the biggest of places but it was fine with us. we were seated and greeted right away. the menu is simple and easy to read. doesn't take you 15 minutes to look through it. they're known for their burgers but you have to know they're sliders. you get two per order. the burgers don't come with sides. but before you judge the sliders are like 4 bucks and depending on what kind of fries you get your meal still comes out to around 7-8 bucks or so same price you'd end up paying anyways. but with this you could skip the fries and just chomp on sliders. BTW their hot-dogs are on steroids, my buddy got it and we were all thinking just a regular dog, but no.. those things weight train HEAVY. I got the turkey burger with sweet potato fries. I loved the burgers you can tell they are hand made very flavorful fresh ingredients. The sweet potato fries were awesome, cut in house and hand battered absolutely one of the best I've had and it comes with this Kryptonite Sauce that brought me to my knees and I'm not even from Krypton.. I honestly have no idea whats it in and its green, but its freaken delicious. Superman would eat it regardless if it was killing him. but my absolute favorite thing about the place, they had Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury playing in the bathroom #WINNING
(4)Bryce A.
Easily the best burger place in Providence. As the other reviews suggest, go for the M.O.A.B. which includes fried onion strings and bacon. The Fungus Among Us is also a great burger for those who like mushrooms. For me, fries are always a must with burgers, but I don't order any of the fries with cheese as they use cheese whiz... gross. Otherwise the food is great! The burgers are soft, fatty, juicy, meaty things. Bad for your health, but totally worth it. It gets pretty crowded during peak hours, but from 3-5pm they have half-off sliders!! Definitely worth the trip. Pro Tip: Go with a friend so you can swap sliders. (There are two per order)
(4)Village P.
One of the best burgers I've had around the area. Its very affordable too and worth the money. The half-off between 3 and 5 is a great deal too.
(5)Molly O.
Their burgers are good. I always get black bean but my meat eating counterparts enjoy the cow. I find the couch burger delicious. You get 2 sliders on a cute little tastey bun. If you go between 3-5 burgers are HALF price!! Any day of the week! A few things I don't really like but I tolerate because the food is good- their soft drinks come in cans. No fountain. Their fries come separate. I've never had great service there. Over all you deal with it to enjoy good food. But go during happy hour.
(3)Sabrina C.
PROS: Cheap food, fast service and tasty options. Harry's is open late which is a PLUS when you're seeking places to go after a night out in Providence. The ice cream sandwich is Godly and the thai chili bbq makes everything taste better. CONS: I'm not a huge fan of beef, so I often get the Turkey slider. I've dealt with my turkey patty being undercooked a few times. They are great about getting me a new one whenever this happens. Now I am just cautious when ordering and make sure to mention that I want me turkey burger WELL WELL WELL done.
(4)Olivia B.
Very small and unique place with great fast options. I tried there sliders with onion strings and it was quite good. At first I thought that the small first floor is all the space but found out that they have another second level with more seating. Great fast service and great vibe.
(4)David C.
First of all, I honestly did not expect this place to be so small on the inside. That being said, we got in and seated right away, especially for a friday night. The prices are reasonable and the food is good, they give you a good amount of fries for your money and the place is new and clean. The only reason that I can't give five stars is that the location is wierd. For someone not originally from Providence it's hard to find, and there's no parking. Can't fault them too badly for that though, parking in that area is a nightmare anyway. All in all, four star establishment.
(4)Brian O.
Great Burgers, all ingredients are always fresh, great craft beer especially the ones that are usually on tap, service has always been excellent in the 3 dozen times ive been, great for late night food.
(5)Ashley C.
I'll be honest. 'Meh' at best. We went here on a whim on a Friday. We awkwardly stood in the freezing cold doorway for about 20 minutes without being greeted in any way, and we ended up snatching seats at the bar before finding out if we would ever have a table. Seated at the bar, I'm not certain the bartender ever cleaned the bar off from the people who were there before us. I may sound snotty, but I am pretty sure I laid down a napkin. Beer selection was good, but overwhelming for someone like myself who drinks bud light out of ease and preference for not having to stare at the menu. We each ordered burgers, and I got sweet potato fries while hubs got regular. Again, meh. When we finally got our food, which was at least a 30 minute wait for fast food quality, I will say the burgers were decent. However, our fries both arrived #1 cold and #2 without their said sauces. So... Skip it unless you really want to get slider burgers for not so slider prices and cold fries.
(3)Ed P.
Excellent burgers and fries. Chicken wings also rocked. Nachos fell short so don't bother with those. Had chocolate chip cookie ice sandwiches that totally rocked (freshly made). Good service, intimate space
(4)Carlos V.
The sliders are AWESOME- Great selection of Beer- Small, but hip and usually short wait on weekends. Also, NEED I SAY MORE THAN ~~~ CHOCOLATE CRACK??? SO addicting after a couple of good burgers!! You need to try it!
(5)Hilary H.
Harry's has such potential to be something worthy of "great." However, the service was so deplorable that I have to knock what would be a four-star review down to three. This teensy shoebox of a chic burger joint is adorable, and has all the makings of a hit: great food, fun interior, a stellar beer list, open late and a perched on a street which makes for a fantastic location. However, waiting over a half an hour for some burgers made me nuts... especially since the place was near empty and it was after 9:30 on a Monday night. Also, immediately upon arriving and being seated we ordered water. We got the water after the food arrived, and seeing as I was parched (so what if I ate a whole bag of salty popcorn at the movie I saw before dinner?), this was a huge strike against our waitress. Based on the burgers alone, I'm sure I'll be back. The Hus had some seriously succulent cheese burger sliders, and I partook of the Buffalo chicken sandwich sliders. We shared the salt 'n' peppa fries, and they did not disappoint, kids - nary a fry was left astray. Also, I love that they're open late in a town notoriously known for before 10 pm shut-downs. And, as I mentioned, that beer list is pretty dope.
(3)Wow K.
Harry's M.O.A.B. sliders are one of my favourite burgers of all time. But honestly, everything on the menu is great especially the hot dogs, bacon cheese fries, and the hard shakes.
(4)Bill D.
Fancy? No. But I've been here twice (once late at night, once for lunch) and been satisfied both times. The sliders are incredibly tasty - juicy but not greasy. The salt and pepper fries are amazing and could easily be eaten on their own without the burgers at all. And the beer selection is great... anyplace I can get Old Speckled Hen on tap, I'm a fan. Atmosphere is kind of divey, but fun divey instead of "you'll catch hepatitis" divey. If you're looking for a quick lunch or some late night grub to soak up some of the booze in your system, Harry's is a good place to go.
(4)Christine P.
Went here the other night with a friend for some "girl" time and we loved it. This is definitely a little dive of a place and not fancy in any way, but that does not matter if the food is good. And we really thought it was! We sat downstairs in a corner booth, which was very comfy. My friend had a couple of different beers from the many choices (and kudos to the server for offering suggestions and samples!) Not being a beer girl I had a Cosmo (go ahead and laugh) and a glass of white wine. Both were very good and better than I had expected for a place that is known for beer. I had the MOAB sliders and my friend had the Pig Pile sliders. We didn't share but I loved mine and she said she was happy with hers as well. We had a basket of 1/2 regular fries and 1/2 sweet potato fries and they were both really, really good. I kind of wish we had more of the sweet potato and next time we'll probably order two. I wish we had room for dessert but between the burgers and the drinks, we were full. I would definitely go back, particularly on those nights you are in the mood for for an indulgent, greasy meal. They have some spiked milkshakes on the menu too that I'd love to try some time. Service was good. They are definitely laid back, but that's the kind of place it is. They were friendly and accomodating though, so we were very content. Definitely worth a trip!
(4)Venice W.
A pretty amazing meal for two at $25. And that's after a good tip! Went there with a friend when I was visiting Providence. I got the pastrami sliders as well as the chili cheese fries. My friend got the M.O.A.B. and sweet potato fries plus a coke. We were both stuffed but I admit to finishing her fries even after my stomach said no more. They have a good selection of drinks abd I'm slightly bummed I didn't know about the 3-5pm half off burgers deal. Will definitely make a special stop the next time I'm back east. Seating is both indoors and outdoors but there's an upstairs that I didn't check out.
(4)Chelsea F.
Yum. I LOVE Harry's burgers. They're AMAZING. The service isn't all that great, but every time I've gotten sliders they're really good. Sometimes things can get a little pricey if you get drinks. One time my boyfriend ordered a beer (off the list that doesn't have prices) and asked how much it was and was told "not much more than your friends" because his friend ordered an IPA. His beer ended up being twelve dollars for a pint. Not worth it. Misinformed. Four stars for the burgers, though.
(4)Ryan D.
I just realized a few days ago that I haven't reviewed Harry's. I really have to tell everyone on Yelp, if you live in Providence or are going to be visiting, you really need to do yourself a favor and go to Harry's. It is a mix of a gastropub and a great burger joint (what genius combo btw). You can go strictly to drink at the bar or just go for the burgers, or do what I do and mix beer and burgers. You cannot go wrong with any of the sliders on the menu, from the Bacon Cheeseburger right on down to the MOAB (Mother of all Burgers). For a side go for some sweet potato fries with the very tasty aioli or their delicious chili cheese fries. We are always taking visitors out to Harry's and when we need a go to place for a date we always have Harry's on the list. Seriously my mouth is watering as I write this review.
(5)William H.
Very tasty and the price was right! We got there after a movie at about 9:30 on a Monday night. We sat right down and ordered our beers - and they have a great beer menu. We then ordered some burgers. It took about 1/2 hour which seemed longer than that because at 9:30 I was starved but they definitely hit the spot. I had the regular cheeseburgers with salt & pepper fries. And I'd have them again right now if I could! Next time I'll try to get a seat at the bar. Seemed like a better ambiance for me especially if there are any large groups in the back (which there were) as it can get pretty loud.
(4)Charles M.
Phenomenal food. Worth the wait.
(5)Katie N.
I can't say much since I only came here for late night drinks with friends - but, I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and overall vibe of Harry's. There is a nice spacious upstairs area. And, the bathroom had a TV playing horror movies. I think this is to scare people from taking too much time on the toilet. The selection of booze and beer is good. But, I think the bartender didn't really know what s/he was doing because I asked for a Black & Coke and got a giant glass of soda with a faint taste of Johnnie.
(3)Bryan T.
$2.50 a piece with no side is a little steep for a potato roll size burger but its 1/2 price 3p-5p during the week but they taste AMAZING
(4)Kevin C.
I've been here several times because I appreciate a good (but small) selection of rotating draft beers and incredibly delicious sliders. However, I don't know if I just didn't realize in the past or if they recently changed their beer prices, but I was absolutely disgusted when I found out our beers (all session, local beers i.e. nothing high alcohol or rare) were $7.50/pint!! That is absolutely nuts. This has to change because I for one won't be going back until those beer prices come back to earth. Used to be a 5 star venue for sure, but those beer prices really struck a nasty chord with me. For shame.
(3)John L.
Harry's was a wonderful and delicious surprise on N Main in providence. I came here with my girlfriend for one of her friend's birthday dinner. They had a reservation so the table was setup when we got there. We actually hung around the bar area for 15 minutes or so to wait for the others in the party to arrive and the staff was fine with us hanging out at the bar. The friend who booked the table actually booked a room that they have in the basement that just so happens to have a shuffleboard table. However, it did not have any tables to eat on... We were rolling 12 deep and without any tables and just little shelves to put drinks on did not workout. We asked for some tables and in a few minutes time, were than escorted to the second floor (many floors to this establishment) through a narrow stairway from the entrance, where we were seated. The upstairs dining area was smallish in size and it felt like we took up half the upstairs area. But we were all comfortably seated now. So the beer from Harry's is pretty good. They had only three beers on tap but they were fine selections. I had a Sixpoint sour wheat beer and it delish. Oh and don't forget to order the boot glass that is only 68 oz. Only draft selection can be ordered to fill the boot (obvious reasons). So make sure you like the beer! As for the burgers - actually sliders - they were excellent. I had the Fungus Among Us slider and complimented the sliders with Sloppy Harry Chili Fries. It was a pairing like white on rice. My girl ordered the Crunch Burger which they over did it with the fried onion strings. It was overflowing to the floor (maybe not that much). Overall the service was excellent since we had a large party. The food and drinks came out promptly without mess ups. When the bill came, the waiter was nice enough to offer some members of our party to immediately charge their portion so as to make the other party paying by cash easier to split. I would recommend going and would personally be back to taste some of their other burgers.
(4)Sarah V. M.
CONFESSION #1 - Harry, you are living proof that good things do come in twin packages. Your sliders are so juicy, your combinations so innovative (like the fungus among us made with portobellos and truffle oil), your buns totally delectable that CONFESSION #2 - I shamelessly returned here four days after my first visit for round two. CONFESSION #3 - Joel is a keeper. How he recognized me after 96 hours with a smile and hello is proof that he could tell I am smitten. May I also sing from the rooftops CONFESSION #4 - your daily happy hour (half priced sliders from 3-5!) might just put you out of business...$1.25/patty. Really? It won't be but a day or two until we meet again. Love, V
(5)George D.
Came to Providence during Spring Break with a friend and was recommended this place by someone who said it would be crowded, but it was pretty vacant on a Monday around 1. Sliders are good, with high-quality beef in the patty and a good variety of toppings. We also had the onion strings, which come with a really interesting spicy ketchup that ran out faster than the fried onions. But the best thing about this place is the beer selection and the knowledgeable bartenders who can tell you whatever you want to know about whatever you're drinking.
(4)Richard C.
My experience with Rhode Island burgers is limited, to say the least. Aside from a brief stint for my undergrad many moons ago, I have not done extensive food research in our tiny neighboring state. On a whim a couple of weeks ago, we set off to Providence for an afternoon of bites and walking around the state's capital. After doing a bit of on-the-fly research, we found our way out of the rain and into Harry's Bar and Burger, supposedly one of the top burger destinations in Providence. A warm and welcoming staff made us feel accommodated immediately in this cozy casual bar setting. The burger menu is the clear highlight (as the name suggests) and they are made as sliders, with two per order and fries a la carte, with options aplenty. I settled for the very straight-forward "Harry's Classic Cheese," which comes on toasted potato rolls, American cheese, grilled onion and pickle for $4.99. The burgers are definitely as advertised in the slider department, but we still have to examine it on the same basis for any sized burger, including but not limited to: meat to bun ratio, use of condiments, application of cheese, etc. The burgers, cooked on a griddle, are definitely big on bun but short on beef. The towering potato rolls are impeccably fresh, airy and squishy in the best of ways. But the beef, a very thin patty nestled into it all, almost gets lost in a sea of bread, lettuce and cheese. The beef has almost no crust to speak of, although it is adequately seasoned with salt and pepper. Melted American cheese combined with a healthy dose of a mayonnaise based spread certainly add a creaminess that is very enjoyable, and overall it actually is quite an enjoyable few bites. It is puzzling however, that for such a basic and primitive slider with barely any toppings on it, how quickly the beef goes missing on a moment's notice. On it's own the beef has pockets of flavor, not too lean or too fatty, but too generic and most likely less seasoned than what is ideal to make it stand out. It's pretty juicy as far as sliders go, but just can't hold a candle to a bigger sized patty. After the fact I realized that you can double the beef for an extra fee, which I would suggest based on my experience to presumably pump up the beef flavor. Fries are heavy, thin and sort of chewy and are dusted with salt and pepper for $2.25. They definitely don't taste super fresh, giving the vibe that they were previously fried and very poorly re-heated, maybe I caught them on a bad day but the portion was small and they offered very little to almost no redeeming qualities. The sliders at Harry's Bar and Burger are satisfying if you aren't one to over-focus on the beef. If you can be content to eat a couple of bites and enjoy them as a whole package and less of individual components, it's an easy breezy endeavor. But for me, when the beef needs to be the major piece of the puzzle, it falls a little short. Still, for around $7 with fries, you essentially get a 1/4 burger that isn't a bad deal at all, it's just not exactly worth a trip from Boston to get there.

I really enjoyed this trendy, tight college eatery. Burgers are essentially sliders, but oh so tasty and the shoestring fries are really very good. I suggest doubling your order if you're really hungry. Great selection of beers and stout on-tap as well.
(4)Nathan M.
Awesome burgers. Service is great. Excellent sellection of beers on the menu. Probably one of the best spots for a burger in RI.

Harry's serves absolutely incredible sliders. They taste fresh, come in great combinations, and are highly affordable. They come in pairs or trios, and are half off from 3-5 daily. The beer and liquor selection is decent, and my servers have always been at the very least both helpful and friendly. There is a bar in the front room, and a small room with tables in the rear, both of which (with cow themed decor) are relatively comfortable. The menu overall is straightforward, and creative, however all the drinks are primarily adult oriented, so it may not be the absolute best place to bring kids. I would highly recommend Harry's, I think they could expand on their list of toppings even more, but I most certainly plan on returning.

I love bugers. Harrys was on phantom gourmet . my bff and I went to check it out. Turns out this place was bomb! We got some onion rings it was a big basket we looked at each other thinking we can't finish. .but once we started munching on them before u know it they were gone. We tried there vanilla caramel twinkie milkshake wow completely blown away it was genius ..I don't really drink alcohol but I could totally smash down a few of them. We got some burgers when they arrived it was 2 sliders I usually put ketchup but once I took a bite it was pure bliss, juicy heavenly goodness. We ate them like it was nothing. No ketchup needed. Seriously we were stuffed but we were so impressed at how good they were we ordered another 2 burgers 2 share. You gotta stop by n check it out

This is definitely one of my favorite spots here in Providence! Their extensive beer menu full of a variety of different IPA's and local beer will keep you coming back for more. Their burgers are on point, with a variety of options to choose from. The pastrami burger is definitely my favorite but the MOAB (mother of all burgers), with its bacon, mushroom, and fried onion strings, is a top contender. And don't forget about the fries! Their sweet potato fries served with an aioli should not be passed up. Harrys is the perfect spot to get good food and good drink with a group of friends. Go for happy hour Monday through Friday from 3 to 5 and get half off burgers and beers.

This is a very small but fun place. This is not a cheeseburger place only a slider place. I ordered the pig sliders with pulled pork on top. It was good. I also got a beer and a side of cheese fries. I'm slim and that was probably enough food. The sliders were good. The fries were fine. Good selection of beer. I ate some of my son's hot dog too. It was decent...and huge! I would recommend this place...it's American food...so don't expect to eat healthy. It's fun and I could see going back to try different sliders if I lived in the area. Also, we were told it is ranked in the top 10 for best cheeseburgers in the US...no way. The judge apparently never went to California.

3.5 Stars. Came here with my brother for lunch the day before Thanksgiving. Housed in an old building on N. Main St, there is a nice bar area on ground level and a stairway going upstairs lined with blackboard and sidewalk chalk to unleash your creative talents (which for most people seems to be the ability to spell one's name). Upstairs, the ambiance is that of a cheap mom and pop type family restaurant you'd find on the side of the highway in the middle of nowhere. It didn't take me long to figure out that you come to Harry's for beer and burgers. Burgers are "sliders" although they are at least twice the size of what you know from Whitecastle and come 2 per order (with an option for a threesome: a third burger at half the price of an order). I went with a threesome of cheeseburgers, he got a trio of M.O.A.B.s. It's has been noted that how much I like food is directly proportional to how fast I eat it, and I had finished 2 burgers before my brother finished one. I had already strategized how I was going to eat my last burger and poach a M.O.A.B., but my bro launched a pre-emptive strike and offered to trade one of his M.O.A.Bs for my cheeseburger, sensing I was about to go honeybadger on his lunch. The M.O.A.B. by the way, is a juicy, delicious, bite size heart attack in the making with cheese, bacon, mushrooms, and fried onion strings. Needless to say, if I have to mention something 4 times in a review in all caps, you'll want to order it.

Best Burgers in town!
(5)Fancy F.
My hubby's favorite when craving a burger out! :) Awesome sliders and great beer selection. Limited seating and always packed, so expect to wait for a table. We have come here with our baby during dinner time, and were comfortably accommodated and given a highchair.
(5)Mike B.
Took my 2 sons, 16 & 21....who each appreciate a good burger These exceeded our high expectations Ordered (3) each and shared Classic is simple and, I think, the tastiest Downside was the beer $ I ordered (2) Goose Island drafts...that will be $17....steep..even more so for what turned out to be a 10oz pull! I questioned the server and got the how dare you ? me stare...throw in a can of sprite and I was $20 pourer and certainly not pleased. The unnecessary of level of beer pretentiousness did not ruin the trip, but I will remember
(3)Joanna R.
This restaurant seems to do things in miniature- tiny dining area, petite burgers, slender fries. I think the quirkiness adds to the charm. However, the tables are crowded together a little to close for my liking and the bathroom is practically next to the kitchen. Moving on... the burgers are actually sliders and each order comes with two and fries are an additional charge. I particularly like the Fungus Among Us- cheese, portobello mushrooms and truffle aioli. Each slider can probably fit in your hand easily so it's quiet manageable. My dining companions in the past have ordered with no complaints the MOAB (mother of all burgers), pig pile burger, and Harry's Meltdown. Even though the fries cost extra, you should get them plus the special sauces. Harry's has a great selection of beers on tap. Not many places have Old Speckled Hen and it surely is a treat to see it on tap nonetheless!
(4)Heather W.
It looks like I am in the minority here when it comes to Harry's. My friend and I checked the place out and I have to say it did not meet my expectations. I have heard great things about it but was less than impressed. It may have been that my seat was directly next to the bathroom which is never appetizing when you are eating but it mainly was the food. The sliders while I love a good slider practically bled at me. That was a bit alarming. The fries were OK but again nothing to write home about. The beer selection was fantastic, while we did not partake we looked and it is a great selection. I would like to say I will check them out again but I don't think I will.
(2)Danny C.
A lot of people near me like their burgers but I personally have tasted burgers that are better and personally Harry's burgers are too greasy for me..not really of big fan of greasy food.. I think Luxe burgers are better because you can customize the burgers to how you want it to be-
(2)Robin S.
I gave Harry's 4 stars, and I don't even like burgers, so that should tell ya something. I went with a group of hungry friends. We sat down, and I immediately ordered a beer (which was a task in and of itself - the list is extensive)! I love a place that A) serves a wide selection of beer, and B) has both the price and alcohol content listed in a nice lil spreadsheet for me to compare/contrast. Like I said, I don't eat burgers. BUT the sweet potato fries (which usually aren't even my thang) were fantastical. THey come with this green dipping sauce that was really something else. It was great. Never putting those guys in honey mustard again. Also, I got an AMAZING ice cream sandwich there. Split it with a friend, it's probably 2x the size of a chipwich, and about 10x as good. It's on two crispy fresh baked cookies nommmnomm and the ice cream was great. I took a star off cause it took like FOREVER for our food to come, but at leaste I had a nice cold beer to apease me.
(4)Bailey M.
Our waitress really made the evening a wonderful experience -- she was funny, super-attentive, and made sure our drinks stayed full the entire night. She even noticed that our table was wobbling and put some napkins under the table leg for us! I'm not a huge fan of sliders so I don't think I would order burgers here again. Next time I'll try another item on the menu. Sweet potato fries were good though!
(4)Lyndsy F.
Best burgers in Providence at a great price. I've had the Crunch burger, the MOAB burger and the pastrami burger, none have disappointed. Also the cheese-fries are great! the only dessert I've had is the chocolate chip cookie sandwich, which was big enough to split! A few craft beers on tap, which rotate. Also, half off burgers from 3-5 pm!
(5)Bri E.
The burgers here are the best burgers I've ever had! I've tried their cheeseburger and their black bean veggie burger and they were both awesome!! I've also tried their sweet potato fries and their grateful dead which were amazing (It was probably the best grateful dead I've ever tried)! Their prices weren't too bad either. The only potential downside of this place is the size. It is super tiny and there was barely any room for people who were waiting at the bar to move (I was also there on a Friday night so that was probably why). Although the size of this place is a potential downside, I think it also adds to the ambiance of it which is really neat and something that you're not likely to find elsewhere.
(5)Mandy D.
Harry's makes a damn good slider. The M.O.B. (Mother of Burgers) is TO DIE FOR. And it's a steal to go between 3-5pm because all sliders are half off. I'm a huge bloody mary lover, so I'm obsessed with the bacon bloody. Therefore, this is my favorite place to go grab Sunday lunch. Sometimes the service can be a bit lax, but I usually leave pretty satisfied overall. Oh, and I really enjoy the TV's in the bathrooms! :)
(4)Timothy B.
This place has without a doubt, hands down, the best burgers in Providence and possibly anywhere I've ever been. To give this place even 4 stars, is confusing to me and somewhat upsetting. The burgers themselves are slightly larger than the normal sliders (you get two per order, but can order a "threesome". The special sauce is awesome and they have many excellent variations on the typical burger. Also, the salt and pepper fries are nearly perfected standard fries to go with the burger. The bar is also great, with several choices on tap and several more by bottle. Service is excellent, nearly everyone who has waited on me here has been friendly and awesome. Music is great with excellent selection of 90's era hip-hop, amongst other genres. Desert and other sides are also excellent. If you're in the area and are looking forward to something delicious, cheap (half off 3-5 pm every day on burgers), and with friendly waitstaff / bartenders do yourself a favor and go.
(5)Ashley L.
I have been to this place a couple of times now and I like it a lot. The burgers I'm pretty sure are all sliders. They are very good, as well as the fries, love the sweet potato fries! Good beer selection. Both times I have been here I ended up trying different beers that I have never had before, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's also a plus that you can get food here late night!
(4)Pete B.
Best burgers I've had...and they are sliders. Good service, even better beer. If you rate this place below a 4 then I feel sorry for you...or you went to the wrong place and got confused. My favorite place for dinner when heading to Providence.
(5)Wayne P.
Very good beer selection on tap with only a hand full of lines. one of the few places you can get a Speckled Hen on Nitro. Avoid the chili pretty much tasteless with the hamburger ground into the consistency of sand. I'm sorry but slider sandwiches do not impress me. they were tasty but snack sized food makes me think i'm at an English tea. The french fries( salt and pepper) were good. Oh and by the way this IS A Small place.
(2)David C.
I've been here a few times, and most recently visited last night. In the mood for a burger and a beer? Look no further! This is a down-to-earth bar/restaurant with a "grungy" feel (in a good way). It has decent sliders and excellent fries. As you can tell from some of the other reviews, the "burgers" here are actually mini-burgers or "sliders." Each order comes with 2, or you can add a third for some extra $. The burgers are affordable ($5-6 per order) but don't come with fries unless you order them separately. My complaints about the burgers: the lack of seasoning and the thickness of the patties. They are a little larger than White-Castle sized patties (though definitely of higher quality). I'd prefer something a tad thicker. Also, the patties themselves are a bit on the bland side. Certainly not bad, but very little independent flavor of their own (aside from "meat" flavored). The fries are excellent and dirt cheap. They are "shoestring" style - thin and crispy! The beer selection is fairly large, and contains some delightful surprises (for example, they carry "Porkslap"). The beer is priced accordingly for the location ($3.75ish for the cheapest beer, but most bottles are closer to $6). I think my can of Porkslap was an affordable $4. The service was fast and friendly! Though i've sat upstairs before, and--depending on the time of day--it can feel like a dead zone. Thicker, more flavorful patties and slightly cheaper beer would give this place 5 stars (for what it is - a great place to grab a burger and some beers)
(4)Chayna D.
The food was good. I got the bacon cheeseburger sliders and the buffalo wings...no complaints. The first floor is bordering on a dive feel and kind of dark. The service is nothing to talk about...but then again I only dealt with the bartender. This is a half review based on a take out order that I waited for. After seeing what little I did of the atmosphere I was glad to eat at home. I only waited 15 min for my food; not bad. The only thing this place is missing is a drive-thru window.
(2)Pamela L.
I've been here a couple of times and was happy with food and service, though it was noisy and very busy both times. First time was during restaurant week and there was a good deal on burgers/sliders which hit the spot. This last time I got the Cajun spiced turkey burgers which were a bit too salty. Still, water glass was refilled multiple times and I also had a soft drink, so I appreciated that we weren't neglected. Tried the salt & pepper fries which could have used more seasoning, but they were good. Large beer selection so next time I'll try a different beverage.
(3)Mitch K.
Went with my brother as we had a Groupon to spend and I'll definitely be back. The burgers are greasy, the buns are soft, and the toppings are plentiful...I was in heaven. You get two sliders per order and they're a good size but after we ate our burgers we decided to split another order...the burgers go for $5-$6 which is very reasonable. I saw two guys at another table order four different kinds of burgers (eight sliders in total) for sharing and that's what we are going to do the next time. The M.O.A.B. burger is awesome! I'd like it just a tad better if they had a more normal mixed drink menu (I had the fruit punch and it tasted like gasoline), and twice the beer my brother ordered was sold out. If you're going to have a 30+ selection of beers make sure you have them in stock, or shorten the list a little bit.
(4)Meg M.
Ok, time for a long overdue update of Harry's Bar! I figured out how to have a kick ass time everytime we come here: #1- Come during HAPPY HOUR weekdays from 3-5 when all burgers are HALF price!! This is really a no brainer, why pay double ever again for the same burger?! #2- Sit at the BAR. The bartenders are all awesome, friendly, and professionals who have great personality and give excellent service. The first couple times we sat at the tables where service can be sub-par. It seems they have the A team at the bar and the B team on the floor. The difference in service level is palpable. The food is always awesome no matter what kind of burger you order and the beer selection is also fantastic, so keep the above in mind and you won't be disappointed.
(4)Jeff V.
We were lucky enough to get a seat at the bar. Service was great. Bartender friendly. They have a large selection of bottled beers and have about five beers on tap. No crap on tap here so leave your Budweiser koozie at home. Burgers were delicious. We tried three different burgers. I was impressed with the fungus amungus!
(4)Gary S.
This is a favorite of mine for lunch when I visit Providence. It has a great casual atmosphere with great beer on tap. I have had just about everything on the menu. You can't go wrong with anything you order. I could go on and on but why? Just go and try it for yourself. The burgers are half price between 3pm and 5pm during the week. Can't go wrong with that and order away. This is how I have had most of the menu.
(5)Sara B.
the burgers are so dang delicious! Even the drinks are awesome. you gotta try the red headed step child. Oh and for desert ask for the crack :)
(5)Christopher C.
HAPPY HOUR 3-5 MONDAY-FRIDAY Half price burgers during happy hour cannot be beat. Harry's"s has the Slider burger business on lock down. These little burgers pack a punch when it comes to flavor. I highly recommend the "double wide" with bacon. The service ca be a bit slow, but that is compounded by the fact that the kitchen is tiny and usually only one chef is on duty pumping out these perfect little burgers. With a very long and varied list of beers waiting time is usually handled with aplomb.
(4)Carly B.
The sliders are juicy deliciousness. I recommend the MOAB (Mother of All Burgers): cheese, bacon, mushrooms, shredded lettuce, pile of onion strings. That's the good news. But not good enough to bring me back to Harry's. The bad just kept coming, to the point I was waiting for Ashton Kutcher to leap around the corner and tell me I'd been "Punk'd". We were sat in the room at the top of the stairs. Do not recommend. The late 90's hip hop and "slow jams" could be faintly heard from downstairs, but it was Sunday ABC primetime on the big screen that was the aural focal point. Icky dim lights cast shadows off the scraps and crumbs all over the grey carpeted floor: it looked like the aftermath of a 4-year-old's birthday party at Friendly's. The issues of service that followed were in part due to a sweet, woefully inexperienced waitress who just has not found her groove but mostly a clear lack of communication between kitchen/bar/servers. Get it together, people! 20 minutes in and my dining companion hadn't yet received his root beer, nor me my water I'd asked for twice, though I had a beer to work on (our server didn't know anything about the beer when asked about it so she made something up.) Girlfriend got her workout that night running laps up and down the stairs delivering messages of "we're out of _____" to the patrons, bringing the wrong stuff, complaining that the kitchen hadn't told her this or that. Finally - food. Little plastic insert gone from malt vinegar so the fries had a bath that night. A manager comes up to apologize for the crazy-long wait and does the right thing - offer us mercy chipwiches. But it's an odd favor to dish out when you then put the onus on ME to inform my server that we were made said offer so that it won't show up on my bill. (Turned out she got the message, but why even say that!) If these sliders were served out of a food truck or a lunch counter, I'd be all over it, but I'm not going to sit down and be subjected to craptastic service for an hour for a couple of burgers - that's what Friendly's is for!
(2)Stephanie K.
Great tiny burger bar. All they have is sliders with a lot of flavor for not having much beef. If I want a burger I want BEEF. This place is more of an appetizer place.
(2)PJ D.
I've been to Harry's several times now and I like it. The Pros: There is a good beer selection and they have some really interesting mixed things if you're not into beer. The sliders are fantastic. Without a doubt you'll be craving them within days. I usually get the Bacon or the classic cheese burger but I've had the chicken one as well as bites from a few other things on the menu. There's no issue with the taste; it all tastes good. The Cons: It's tiny. The downstairs is really cool but really small so it can get crowded quickly. The upstairs lacks any sense of ambiance or vibe. As another poster noted the dirty carpet gives the place a weird TGI Fridays vibe. The service can be spotty. I've had great servers and I've had people who forgot to come back to the table. Kind of all over the place. You also may leave smelling like a burger joint; you've been warned. The bathroom is always clean but not as large as i would expect for a place that could hold that many people. In the end, I like the burgers and I'll keep going back but I would stay away on nights where it may be a little more crowded as it may just be too stressful and not worth the wait.
(3)Danitza S.
Harry's bar and burger is the perfect place to go eat when on a budget. Affordable sliders and amazing food, from 3-5PM daily burgers are 1/2 the price. A casual restaurant that offers seating outside or inside close to the bar or upstairs. It's a great place to hang out with friends.
(5)Juli L.
I've been to Harry's a handful of times, have always sat at the bar and have always left happy and full. I've seen a lot of complaints about the service, but every time I've been there the folks behind the bar have been nice and attentive. My glass has never been empty for long! They offer half price sliders between 3-5 which is a plus. The tap beer selection is small but they rotate some pretty decent brews, plus always have a cask offering. The sliders come in pairs of two and none come with fries, but that's fine by us. The Pastrami Burger is absolutely amazing and generally we'll split an order of sweet potato fries which, for us, is more than enough.
(3)Becky M.
Great beer selection and better sliders selection. What isn't there to like? My boyfriend and I tried 1 with pulled pork, 1 made Cuban-style with ham & mustard, and 1 with a little chili. The pulled pork was certainly the best of the 3, but we enjoyed them all. I'm a girl that loves French fries, and these were fantastic. Was quiet on a Tuesday night, but that was okay with us. Service was a little slow, but our server was in training, so we were okay with it. I've waited tables, I understand.
(4)Kameron S.
I like this place. The slider things is a fun concept and the burgers are pretty tasty. I was still a little hungry after finishing mine though. I suggest getting an extra or not sharing your fries!
(4)C B.
I'm preggers. Sometimes you catch a whiff of something and you just HAVE to have it or you'll go crazy. While driving down the strip after grocery shopping in Attleboro today I smelt burgers...And that was the end of it. Lucky for me, I don't live in Attleboro, I live on Providence's East Side and my options are pretty wide for good burgers. So I turned to Yelp. Soo glad I did. Harry's delivered, and my family was pleased. Being in our neighborhood, it was super fast and easy to get to. No parking issues. It was pretty busy which is expected for a Saturday night, but we really didn't wait long at all. They lead us up stairs to a little room which was all widows. We liked that. Made the tiny space feel...Not so tiny. My six year old wanted Nachos, he got 'em, and they were pretty simple but good. Then we all got burgers. I got the M.O.A.B, it's pretty fantastic and it wasn't too big or overkill like I feared. Just enough to fill me up, and lots of flavor! Husband got the pig pile burger, burgers with pulled pork on top. He loved it and wished he added a third to his order. My six year old (who's cheese burger crazy) got the double wide...With bacon added. We told him it was gonna be way too much and he assured us it wouldn't be...Well he got one and a half down, pretty impressive for such a wee boy. So all three meals, appetizer, a beer, and two gingerales and we left paying just under $40. Awesome! Service was pretty good. Basic waiting, quick delivery, and we probably were in and out of there in about an hour. Good stuff. We'll def be returning, especially now that we know burgers are half off between 3-5!!
(4)C R.
No doubt...best sliders around! Food is always consistent, and fun options to choose from. The dipping sauce that comes with the sweet potato fries is fabulous. Be sure to try the chocolate crack for dessert it is amazing! Also FYI prices are good!
(5)Lou P.
You get two first bites! Look for the big cow out front They stock rye; 'nuff said Harry's is the newest venue from the Elkhay family, who brought you Luxe and Rick's Roadhouse. Their motto is fast food slow, and its sure worth the wait. The place is super easy to find. If you're familiar with the old Chinese Laundry, it's the same spot, right across from Olive's. If you have no idea where that might be, look for the giant Holstein cow out front. Inside, there's a whole black and white thing going on, with checkered tile and dark framing around the doorways to complement the dark faux marble and black wood bar. There's also cow hide (false I assume) lining the backs of the bar chairs and mottled spots on the walls. There's a game room with shuffleboard downstairs and a few small tables upstairs, so options are pretty varied. They make all the burgers fresh to order, and they all come in slider form, with 2 to a serving. They're seared nicely on the outside, but still plenty juicy at first bite. Plus you get two first bite, who's arguing with that? They're 3-4 bites each, and you're not left with a handful of ketchup and lettuce like you would be with a full size burger. The choices are fun, ranging from the regular burger and cheeseburger to the fungus among us (Portobello mushroom topper) and M.O.A.B. (cheese, bacon, mushroom, fried onion strings) selections. They serve everything in a red basket with plastic cutlery, so there's something of a boardwalk fries feel to the presentation. The Salt and Pepper fries are the shoestring variety you see at fast food venues, but not as greasy. Definitely ask for a side of the chipotle ketchup that comes with the onion strings, especially if you like a mild kick. Prices are good, and the burger happy hour (half price burgers) from 3-5 PM is well worth it. Nothing is more than $6, save for the double wide burger. While you might want to order two burgers (four total,) my advice is go for the fries instead. As far as spirits go, Harry's pours the best Sazerac in the city, (although they made with Bulleit bourbon instead of the advertised rye, which wasn't in yet). I'd go here again on that merit alone. A larger choice of spirits would be great, but they have a fairly decent range, and it's clear hat the bar isn't overflowing with well vodka, so I'm down. The cocktail list includes two rye drinks; most bars don't even have rye. There's also a super refreshing fresh lemon press with vodka and soda water. There's a large list of bottled and canned beers, as well as a fun offering of hard milkshakes and floats, all priced at $8. All the cocktails are $8.50, and wines run from $5.50-$9. There's a devilish bloody mary on the menu relying heavily on jalapeño I'm dying to try. One of the better new establishments in Providence, and the price is most certainly right for food, and the cocktails are bold and strong.
(4)Jacob W.
I'm a big fan of this place. The burger is a very solid small burger, not necessarily a true slider but a great generally. This is a good restaurant if you want a topping-intensive burger, which is to say, a burger for which the burger itself is not the primary focus. The toppings are top notch, fries and sauces are very satisfying. Try to come early when the burgers are half priced. I'm told there are great cocktails but I haven't tried them.
(4)Mark S.
I vowed not to return but ended up meeting friends for lunch last week. The service was actually good this time. The burgers were great and we were out of there quickly. The waitress was friendly and on the ball. I may have changed my mind about this place.....
(4)David P.
I am definenatly a fan. We found this place thru yelp and the burgers were so good! We will be back!
(4)Susan A.
Great food at great prices, what a rarity for Providence. Probably the only place I've been where they let you substitute the vegetarian bean burger for any of the other slider burgers. I got the Fungus Amongus with the bean burger and it was delicious. The Kryptonite Aoili is to die for. Sweet potato fries were crisp and went well with my Old Speckled Hen cream ale. My only complaint was the noise level, music was way too loud.
(4)Brandon H.
I was initially hesitant to come here. "Sliders?! How am I supposed to get full off of two sliders?" Boy am I glad that I was wrong. I am trying to work my way as a burger connoisseur, and I have to say Harry's has some of the best burgers in RI! The sliders are surprisingly filling, my favorite being the pig pile burger. The sweet potato fries are delicious as well. A good beer selection, although i wish they a larger draft selection. The only aspect that prevented me from giving Harry's 5 stars is the service. Occasionally slow service, but my gripe is they don't smile enough...they need a dose of the McDonald's theme song :)
(4)Jean F.
Good food and yummy beers on tap if you're looking for fun, good, cheap eats. Go big or go home - get the haystack onion straws, you won't be disappointed.
(4)Mckenzie G.
I echo Steve R's comments about "where's the beef?" Although I was very excited to try this place and I liked the concoctions they created for the burger choices, I was severely disappointed with the amount of meat in each one. Additionally, you have to other fries separately. When you add up the price of a duo of small burgers, an order of fries, and a drink, the price becomes fairly steep. In the end I see this place as more of a place to grab a few unusual beers than a place to go for food. On a side note, I sadly dropped my order of fries after only eating a handful, and when the waitress came back and saw the mess on the floor, she asked if we wouldn't mind if she waited until we left to clean it up - so we had to spend the rest of the meal sadly looking at what was left of my fries. On top of that, she didn't even ask if I wanted to order another basket or -as most places do - bring another order for free, considering I had hardly eaten any of them. Now, I know I don't deserve a free basket considering I was a complete spaz and spilled the first, but it tends to be common courtesy to forgive patrons spaziness.

Lovvvve this place! A friend took me here back in Oct and Im just sitting down to write about it. This place is very unassuming from outside. I would have driven right past it. The decor inside is that of a small English pub. Dark wood, great beers, and nice and small. Im obsessed with the cowhide backs to the bar stools. Really cool. Now for the food. The burgers... wow! I could seriously sit here and put back like 4 orders of these bad birds. I cant wait to go back and try them all. The black pepper fries are pretty awesome as well. SUCH a great little find, and I WILL be making more trips off the Island to hit this place up. And that alone is saying something. I never leave Newport.

We've been to Harry's many times and they have consistently performed well. This is a great place to bring friends because it has a relaxed atmosphere and is inexpensive. The variety of burgers is good for return trips. The alcoholic milkshakes may clog your arteries and give you some cavities, but they are life changing! The desserts weren't particularly impressive, and our friends don't drink much so we can't comment on the bar scene. Note: vegetarians should stay away.

What a wonderful meal! Brand new to the area, the Harry's Burger and Bar is a Rhode Island treasure. Open and serving late. The menu was diverse, the portions filling. The drink selection was also widespread. I had a set of chilli burgers with sweet potato fries, which I highly recommend... they were crispy! Everything was packed with flavors. I highly recommend a visit to the new Harry's Burger Bar in Providence.
(5)Alma C.
good idea, poor execution. the burgers just aren't that good.
(2)Neal F.
Love this place. I've only had the pulled pork sliders, and they are fantastic. The beer selection is also great, as is the service. The place has a really cool look to it and is laid back. I bring everyone who comes to Providence here for a quick bite to eat.
(4)Rahim M.
Our favorite late night burger joint! I mean, how do you go wrong with a couple of Fungus Among Us sliders (look it up, nay go there and try it!). A little secret we've been utilizing is the downstairs shuffleboard room... if the wait time is too long and we have a couple people, we ask if we can just eat downstairs and it's usually open! There's a bar-table with five or six stools, a shuffleboard(!!), and two TVs. This way we're usually seated immediately and we end up having way more fun. Also, order the chocolate crack (especially if Joel is your waiter, you'll find out).
(4)Penn S.
I've heard good things about this place, but I was not impressed. Maybe it was just that night, but one of our waiters was just really bad. He could have been new. Nonetheless, the other waiter made up for it. What he could not make up for was the hour it took for us to get our meal, which was, as you can imagine, two tiny burgers and fries. I knew the price was too good to be true.
(2)Prachie J.
Amazing little sliders, huge beer selection, cowprint walls, great energy, and chalk to leave a message on the stairwell. Oh, and ridiculously inexpensive. I think its the best value for a meal in Providence, besides Mama Kims.

Outstanding

My friend and I were visiting Providence for the day and we stumbled upon this place. The downstairs is the bar with a some counter seating towards the back. The upstairs has more tables and seats, but we decided to sit downstairs. My friend ordered the black bean burger and fries and I ordered the bacon cheeseburger. The burgers are two little ones (not as small as sliders) but burgers on a roll so they serve two. I thought it was tasty and the meat was cooked just right. My friend liked her black bean burger as well. The fries are just fries. The burgers are good and the prices aren't too bad they range from $4-6. Note there is a lunch special: soda, fries and a cheeseburger for $6. If I'm in the area again, I'd go back.

Loved it ;) service ok ,

After being intrigued whenever I drove by the giant cow, I finally found the time to venture over to Harry's Bar and Burger this weekend. I like the idea of the place - it's somewhere better fast food or a family restaurant, without being a pretentious foodie haven. The drinks were... well, the same as drinks you get anywhere. The burgers were good. They weren't some sort of amazing this-is-the-best-burger-ever type of thing, but definitely worth coming back for. The only thing I didn't like about this place was that it's size means the tables are so close together that you feel like you're sharing your dinner with total strangers. That and the very bright lighting in there kills any kind of intimate mood. Overall, great place to go with some friends, maybe not the best date location. If I had a friend who was only in town for a night, I probably wouldn't take them here. However, if they were in town for a couple days, Harry's would almost definitely be on my list of cool local spots to show them.
(4)Greg O.
Burger is pretty small and $8 for a beer? Wtf? They do play good music though.

I can't say enough good things about this place. Let me just recount my experience: We didn't know where to eat in Providence although I'd heard of Harry's before. We wandered in and I didn't know it was the same place I had heard of. We were seated immediately with no wait during a busy lunch time. The waiter was highly prompt with both our drinks, appetizers and food delivery. The sliders were easily some of the best I've ever had. The sweet potato fries were exactly right and the sauces weren't overwhelming or too spicy. The bill was reasonable and everything was promptly delivered by a very courteous and thorough waiter. All told, simply an outstanding experience. It was far more than I expected for a place like Harry's and I am so glad I was pleasantly surprised. We'll be going back EVERY time I am in Providence. Hopefully your experience will be the same.
(5)Kathryn L.
Simply the most amazing burgers in Providence! They are super juicy and full of flavor. I have been here a number of times and never had a bad burger. I was here last night for a friend's birthday, we sat upstairs and had great, friendly, prompt service. I love the pastrami sliders!! The beer boots are delicious as well :)
(5)Lorin K.
Full disclosure, my friend works here! I have to limit my review to the food and beer because I would not count as an impartial observer on the service. One thing I have thought about Providence is that it is a place with truly exciting restaurants and bars that put this tiny city in direct competition with the big boys like New York. We know it, and can be pretty snobby about it. It is fun to bring people from other parts of the country here, and to surprise them with the sheer concentration of yum. Burgers are a challenge, because many think their local burgers are the best. We had the Ugly American, which sadly closed. We still have Harry's, which carries sliders that offer a true burger experience. Burgers are suppose to be made from moderately fatty ground beef, they should be juicy to the point of being a little drippy, and the meat portion of the burger should be good enough to stand alone, so the burger itself isn't relying solely on the condiments. These rules are immutable, and are believed to be innately imprinted in our minds, showing apparent expression in early childhood. We may have inherited this trait from our burger loving ancestors. What makes a truly good burger, is the perfectly constituted patty combined with toppings that amplify its flavor notes. This can be achieved with very fresh vegetables, bold cheese, and a bun that provides little interference with the flavor of the meat. Potato flour buns are optimal for this task, since they have a mildly sweet flavor that remains stable as you chew. Harry's utilizes all of these ingredients, and does so with that charm that you get with a lot of places in Providence. We aren't fancy schmancy, but that doesn't mean our food has to be made out of industrial waste and bio hazardous material. The ingredients are from local sources much in the tradition of Providence. When I go to a restaurant, I don't want too many options. Too much choice is not good. It has the psychological impact of making you unsure about your decision. I also means that they have TONS of stuff sitting in the freezer, because no restaurant would have a million menu items knowing that much of the food won't be ordered, and would just have to be thrown out. The limited nature of the menu convinces me that their claims about fresh and local and genuine. My taste buds confirm this. Now, all of that being said, I DO want a large selection of beer to choose from. Beer won't go bad sitting in a fridge. The more beer to choose from, the more opportunity I will have to search for just the right craft-slider combination. On several occasions, I have asked servers what they thought, and found some incredible pairings. If there is anything I have discovered in life, it is that the right beer makes the burger. Harry's knows this, and you will know this soon too if you head on down to North Main.

Basic sliders and fries are good. I don't do beer, but mixed drinks are creative and enjoyable. While kids are welcome, I think it's more for adults. The place is cute and you just have to love the cow!!! However, space is tight. I've been a couple of times with one or two other people and once with a party of more than a dozen and that wasn't very comfortable because of the seating. I enjoy the restaurant much more when there are just a few of us eating. If you're looking for a fun little place to go in and out of quickly for decent food, I recommend it. If you're looking to settle in and relax for the evening, this is probably not the best place to go.
(3)Andrea B.
Best sliders I have ever had. My favorite were the ones with the pulled pork. Service was excellent, great selection of beer to choose from, food was fantastic, and the carmel milkshake was a fantastic way to end a great meal.
(5)Amy S.
Absolutely loved it!! The burgers were very tasty and didn't leave you completely stuffed to where you wanted to just keel over and take a nap! I had the classic and my boyfriend order the bacon cheeseburger. Both very yummy! I love the idea of two mini sliders rather than a huge burger that you can barely fit into your mouth. The sweet potato fries were very delicious! However, the kryptonite sauce that came with it did nothing for me. It lacked in flavor a lot! My boyfriend ordered the cheese fries and he didn't care for them at all. Not a fan of cheese-wiz. Their beer selection was quite large and offered a very nice variety. When we received the bill, we were both shocked on how reasonably priced it was. We both agreed that we would definitely be coming back here the next time we come to Providence!!
(4)Ernest S.
Bartender served can of beer and an empty glass - had to pour my own beer! Order of sliders and fries took over an hour! First and last visit.
(1)Maryan P.
You don't have to be in college to love these burgers, With every bite I kept making ummm noises b/c they were so delicious. They are sold as sliders so you get 2 each. Great beer too, I got Berkles brown - which was very tasty. Small bar area - maybe 6 seats. If we are ever in the area again - we would be stopping by.
(5)Michael G.
Good Burger place. Each burger order is 2 sliders. Don't fool yourself, this will be enough for you. The burgers are full of greasy goodness. This is not the place you come to start your diet. This is a Burger Joint. A delicious burger joint. Order the Onion Strings with the Chipotle Ketchup. Its awesome. Great Beer Selection as well. It gives you a opportunity to show how much of a beer aficionado you truly are.
(4)Jessie N.
Great sliders, coming from a guy who preferes a thick juicy burger. The onion strings were bomb and the MOAB sliders were delicious.
(3)Tyler M.
Ok, maybe second times a charm. Me and my mate visited this spot again (we were in a bind). Most kitchen's closed at 11pm, it was about 11.15 when we went. The waitress was SOOOO much better this time, she actually paid attention! That was one of the problems I had previously with this restaurant, the waitress was not at all good. I guess it depends on what time of day you go? Anyhow I had a slider with pulled pork and bbq sauce, absolutely delicious! Maybe its the customer service that made the food taste better? I will visit again maybe next weekend before the bar =) (portions are still abit tiny)
(4)Andy G.
Oh Harry's. This is a sweet little burger joint situated in a hip section of N. Main. Let's get this out of the way right now: for the purists, Harry's offers a slider/hamburger par excellence. The bun is melt-in-your-mouth buttery and soft and the burger itself is a perfect combination of juicy and succulent. Simply put, for hamburgers, there is Harry's and there is everyone else. Even highly regarded places like NYC's Shake Shack could learn a thing or two from this burger nirvana. Wait, did I read that you get two of these slider-sized masterpieces for less than $7? I may be dreaming. Aside from the kickin burger, Harry's beer selection is quite satisfactory. Their salt and pepper fries are also so good they almost deserve a section of their own: when made right (which is the majority of the time), they are a wonderful blend of crispiness and saltiness. So why not 5 stars? Well, this is a restaurant/bar and other things such as service and ambience do count. The bar area is too cramped for it to be a great group location and the scarcity of TVs means you probably won't come here to catch the game. Also, even with the relatively small seating areas, service can be frustratingly slow and (in my experience) while they haven't been rude, they also haven't been especially friendly even to regulars. But now I'm being nit-picky. End story: come for the burger. come for the burger. come for the burger, and maybe the beer. leave happy. *there's a pretty sweet hamburger happy hour deal too
(4)Peter L.
Amazing first time experience. If my friends and I was not in a hurry we would not be impatient about the service. Came into this place when the 1/2 off sliders and others was taking place and was greeted to some pretty good sliders. I mean I was not happy about 4 sliders and wanted to get more. Even when half-off I still feel like we should pay full price for those delicious things. i did not try anything else on the menu that day but I will come back!
(5)Rebecca Z.
This place is just okay. I had the fungus amongus sliders and they were alright...perhaps I didn't order enough or go with enough people because my meal was not particularly filling. It's pretty crowded on weekends and friday nights and such, so be prepared to wait. Other times it's pretty empty, but the service is pretty slow. Perhaps I just didn't do things right to have a better experience? But I'm not sure i would go again.
(3)Julie A.
Harry's Burger bar is a hip place to go for sliders and beer. If you are looking for the place, there's giant statue of a cow on the sidewalk. Parking can be a bit cumbersome, so be prepared to do a little walking or doing valet. I like HBB because there's ample space (2 floors), it's clean, there's a cool vibe, and food/prices are decent. I'm giving it 3 starts because it's just middle of the road. It's not good, it's not bad. The service is inconsistent and I guess I'm looking for something really WOW the crap out me, but after 3 tries, it's just a good place.
(3)Jordan H.
First off, the fact that Harry's Burger Bar is even open until 2 AM in the morning is an impressive feat all in itself (as everything in Providence seems to close before 9) I came to Harry's in a g roup of 3. I found the atmosphere not as open as I would have liked it to be; in fact, it was pretty cramped and not that comfortable to sit in, or at least where I was seated. My group ordered Mushroom Burgers and Sweet Potato Fries. I thought the burger (or burgers because they give us two mini ones) was pretty delicious. Not the most filling burger, but it leaves you very satisfied. I really enjoyed the dip for theSweet Potato Fries. It was a very unique and refreshing flavor. Price was tolerable. Would come again.
(4)Cristy R.
I'm quite a fan of the Chow Fun Food Group, but I must say, that the service I received on Sunday night at Harry's Burger Bar was beyond disappointing. Our party of 5 was seated upstairs at around 8:15pm. The waitress - whose name I can't tell you because she didn't bother to introduce herself - seemed less than thrilled to be waiting on us. She stood nearby as we wondered aloud if the burgers came with fries or if those had to be ordered separately. Did she provide some insight for us? Clearly not. We ordered our food. When she returned with our meals, she asked "do you need any forks, ketchup or anything?" while she WALKED INTO THE OTHER ROOM. Nothing like hosting a travelling conversation with yourself. I ordered the Pig Pile Burger. The burger was rather too pink for my liking; I enjoy my burgers medium well. She never did ask me how I wanted my burger - is this the common practice at Harry's? I would have told her what I thought about my burger, but she never once came and asked us how our food was nor did she ask us if we wanted any more drinks. She came back upstairs to clear our plates. At this point she finally asked us if we wanted another drink, but seeing as how we were clearly inconveniencing her, we politely declined. Still she did not ask us how the meal was. She dropped the bill and scurried off. We waited for her return....and waited some more. Finally, my friend looked up the number to Harry's Burger Bar and called to ask if someone could please send the waitress upstairs. The waitress returned laughing,"Did you really just call here?" Yes, we really did and no, you shouldn't be laughing. What disturbs me the most is that the owner, Harry, came upstairs at least twice to go into a closet. He did not come over either to ask as how we - the only table upstairs - were doing. PLEASE NOTE::I sent the above in an email via the web AND one via email on March 22. Still no reply from anyone. Disappointing.
(2)Stephanie P.
Let me say, I do not go here for the service. I go here because the burgers and fries are great! Every time I have been, service is slow and typically unfriendly. I am from the south so that tends to keep me from going back, but I don't think Harry's is a place that things like that matter so much. When I go here, I just want to eat a good burger (I always get the bacon cheeseburger) and fries. I don't want to chit chat with my waitress, but I would like her to check up on drinks, silverware, etc. We like going around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, it usually isn't busy around this time, so service is a least a little better.
(3)John A.
Tried Harry's yesterday (April 23, 2013) after I read some Google reviews. Came in at lunch and it is SMALL. But they have a very interesting menu of specialty hamburgers which come in a "slider" format of 2 smaller sandwiches per order. I tried a bacon, cheese burger at lunch with fries - very distinctive, interesting. I found myself driving by about 3:15 and remembered that my, friendly, waitress said they had a special from 3-5:00, so I stopped and ordered a chili, cheese burger and a couple other choices to take out. The chili burger was, again, distinctive. I can see where it can be crowded, but certainly very interesting to me and my initial experience was good.
(4)Jeff C.
Sliders are AMAZING! There's always a great selection of beer with good drinks as well. The food is very affordable and the food comes out fast so it's great for a quick meal for lunch or a day of bar hoping. Depending on what time you go parking sucks but I don't ind walking. There's not a whole bunch of seating so it can get tight but I've never had to wait too long to get a seat. Highly recommend giving this place a try.
(4)Fran L.
I dined here before attending evening classes at RISD. I usually arrived by 5pm so I had no problem getting a seat downstairs. Apparently, they have some upstairs seats, too. Harry's is best known for their classic sliders with buttered buns and their variety of beers. The burgers are fresh seasoned meat grilled quickly for a juicy treat. The pepper fries are good. Service is kind and fast. I could get in and out if there within a half hour. I even tried their vegetarian black bean burger..very tasty. Pair the veggie burger with sweet potato fries..yum!
(5)Adrian M.
Great burgers, nice soft fresh buns...can't get any better than this.
(4)Willie M.
I had the pastrami/burger sliders, which I really enjoyed. My only complaint was that it cost me $29 for two beers (one tap and one bottle) and my burger(with tip). So if you don't mind blowing a quick $30 bucks then it's a good stop...or maybe next time, I'll ask for the cheapest beers they have on hand...
(3)Monika S.
Love this place, super cheap and good Veggie Burgers!!! Fries with cheese super duper yummy with salt and pepper and jalepenos. Good wine list by the glass for a beer and burger bar! This is a fun night out that doesn't break the pocket book. I will be back again and again. Plus they play great music from The Cure to Muse to good ol' school The Clash and new mixes from awesome DJs.
(4)Adam H.
Sliders are a nice change of pace from the massive burgers served elsewhere. Got the chili-topped version and they were tasty. Ordered onion strings, which are a little greasy but they're onion strings so of course they are. Great seasoning. Ice cream sandwich was a fun dessert choice. Overall everything tastes great and can't beat the price.
(4)Taylor V.
Love Harry's for late night snacks. The MOAB is the absolute best with a nice Duvel on the side (which is hard to find in PVD). Chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich is perfect to split and you end up devouring it. The atmosphere is a bit stuffy but as long as you get a seat you'll be ok. The cow print decor just adds to it. Waitstaff is always friendly, too.
(4)Mike D.
I stopped in craving a burger, and I left craving a burger. For a burger bar, I didn't find them particularly good. They serve slider style and give you two, but I would rather just have one honking burger. The side of onion straws were super greasy and tasted more like fried straws sans onion. The redeeming factor in this place is the cozy atmosphere and interesting draft selection. They only have about 6 on draft but they usually pick them quite well. They also offer a large bottle selection if nothing on the lines appeals to you.
(3)Julie B.
Whined my way out of waiting 40 minutes in the cold at Union Station so Hubby proposed we tried Harry's. You can't miss the place, giant cow on the sidewalk ~MOOOOOO~ If you like beer, this is the place for you, Hubby had a ball while I had a Bourbon Brownie (adult milkshake) which was sinful. $8 each The burgers -are- small but seriously delicious, I had a Pastrami and Hubby got the Fungus among us (shrooms). Around $5,50 each plate A loaded bowl of Sloppy Fries (where's the fork!?) for $3,50 and for dessert, Irish car bomb brownies! $2,99 Overall the food was delicious and the place is really cute inside, a bit packed but not overly so. My LOL moment happened as we were leaving, I pointed out the glass statue on the bar to my husband and he couldn't see it. I yelled a bit too loud "The one with the tits!" and everyone at the bar laughed. We'll definitely go back
(4)John O.
Went for happy hour , half price sliders were great, nice beer selection , will return
(4)Sarah F.
Kind of unfortunate how an indifferent, expressionless server can overtake a perfectly good slider. Another contribution: sweet potato fries with disappointing aioli-not-aioli. Sliders are sliders, though, and they were fine. We tried regular, cheese-laden, and Cuban varieties and they were all very slidery. I could do with more than one tiny pickle chip per slider, but I am an admitted pickle fiend. Pricing here is tricky. Sure, the sliders seem cheap, but you're going to want fries with that and when you want fries with that plus a beer (of course you want a beer) (maybe two) you're looking at $10-15 for what you thought was a quick slider snack. Factor that in before you walk in the door. You can count on the beer selection--on tap and in bottles--to be satisfying, though. And my friends who tried schmancy cocktails were pleased with their various sours-with-egg-whites. Final note: If Harry's had outdoor seating, I would be so down.
(3)Kimberly H.
After a long day of moving to a third floor walk up all I wanted was a burger and a beer. In our travels I had seen the big cow out front and remembered a sign that said craft beer and we (me, my wife and my in-laws) decided to check it out. Burgers were good, cooked to order and very satisfying. Could I have jammed another small burger down my throat - sure! But not really necessary. We enjoyed the ordering fries and onion straws separate because we were able to get a basket of each and share and there was way more than enough. To top it all off they have half price burgers from 3-5 every day!! I don't know why but I was expecting more beers on draft...no reason - just my own vision I guess. That said the beer I had was out of this world!! Huge selection of bottled beers as well. I went in expecting a burger and a beer (note the name of the restaurant) and got exactly what I wanted and expected. This place is about a mile from the new place and I will certainly go back!
(4)Izabela B.
Harry's is rockin'. Aside from the impossible-to-miss cast iron cow on the sidewalk at the entrance, everything about Harry's is utterly non-pretentious and comfortable. We sat upstairs in a room with two glass walls. The music was great. Our waitress was super friendly. The beer selection was impressive. The fries were perfect. How else to describe Harry's? I don't know. While still in the downtown, Harry's is just a stone's throw from all the downtown action. Which is probably why we always missed it before. Good thing there's a big cow out front, because we probably would have walked on past. Honk if you love burgers.
(4)K S.
Just thinking about Harry's makes me want a burger. So yummy! I love the Mother of All Burgers - it's my favorite. The mushrooms, crispy onion pieces and bacon make it amazing. The fries - sweet potato, salt and pepper and chili - are all fantastic. GREAT beer selection and the price is deliciously cheap. My hubby has on occasion felt compelled to eat four sliders, but for the average person, two is sufficient with fries. Definitely my favorite burger place!
(4)Jess G.
I have been to Harry's a couple times now with friends. I was a bit hesitant about the food when I first came and had a bit of trouble actually finding the restaurant, which sort of blends into the neighborhood. The place was very quaint and had an easy-going atmosphere. I ate upstairs away from the bar itself and it was quiet and enjoyable. The menu was limited but it definitely focused on the main attraction, the burgers themselves. I started liking the idea of the sliders at that point because I wanted to try a couple different burger options and was able to share them with a friend. My only issue was that I wished the wait staff knew their menu a bit better. When I asked for suggestions, my waitress did not really have anything to say, which is disappointing. I always like to hear the popular choices or personal recommendations. However, I ended up picking the crunch burger and the meltdown with a side of sweet potato fries. It was very good overall, a bit oily for a burger I noticed but I liked the size of the sliders and the option of variety to try. I also really loved the aioli that was served with the fries, it went well together. Overall, I will definitely go back again and recommend to anyone looking for a place to go with friends and try some great burgers and bar food.
(4)Steve B.
Finally made it to Harry's, and for someone who doesn't even like hamburgers that much, I was very satisfied. This place is a little too trendy, the service not perfect, and feels almost like an upscale fast-food joint, but somehow it all comes together and really works. It's nice to have a small selection of interesting beers too (with a little info on a chalkboard about them). The pulled pork sliders could not compete with the grilled chicken or basic bacon cheeseburger sliders, but it was fun and delicious to try them all. The menu says "no substitutions", and that keeps the service quick and simple. Definitely a great spot to pop in to for a late-night date night bite.
(4)Valerie Z.
We returned! Still great. I had a chili dog and fries. Absolutely delicious! Oh, and we were there during Restaurant weeks so we got dessert...these absolutely amazing ice cream sandwiches made with vanilla ice cream and chocolate chip cookies. Wow!
(4)Linda F.
Food really slow coming. Buns cold when they finally arrived. But, I'll come back and give em another chance.
(3)Jason L.
Love the atmosphere here. Small intimate bar feel and I'm always able to get a table. I've been here a couple of times. First time I came here pretty hungry, and I was expecting a big beefy burger and some fries. I didn't get that beefy burger... instead I got some burger sliders. Delicious... just not very filling. I like to eat... maybe I'm just a pig? Be sure to get an order of fries. They are awesome! Now the most important part of going to burger joint that has "bar" in its name... DRINKING! Harry's has a pretty big selection of beers. Which goes perfect with your sliders!
(3)Harold O.
Beer selection-- eh Food--eh ambiance--eh service--eh John Elkay's restaurants usually suck for a year or so anyway, so I am sure they will figure it out by the end of the summer.
(2)David G.
I've only been here on the weekends, and each time I'm one of the two tables with people sitting at it. I wonder if my timing is off? I don't mind at all, though, because the service is quick and attentive. I will say, each time I go, Harry's is "out of something". One time it was chili, the next time it was drink mix, the other time it was aioli. This is probably a good thing, since things are fresh, and not just packaged....just wish I could get a complete meal, of everything I asked for. As for the grub. Two sliders and a fry are filling. You get just enough. Go for the burgers that have a "topping" as well, pulled pork, or pastrami. The M.O.A.B. is an awesome concoction of mushrooms, onions straws, bacon....it is truly the MOTHER OF ALL BURGERS. Beer selection is clutch, all price ranges and flavors are available from gansett to delirium. I'm not a Harry's burger Fanboy yet...but I'm on my way
(4)Jazmin I.
I love this place, I've gone sooo many times. Used to be kind of a regular until I decided to cut back. People complain about the service, but I don't care if the waitresses are too lax and not as attentive. Overly friendly staff usually pisses me off anyway. I go for the food and the food is good. I've tried almost every slider... you can't really go wrong. I prefer the pulled pork, bacon, and pastrami sliders. Now I'm not a big fan of the regular fries... so I always order the chili fries... soooo good. I can't say anything about the drinks yet. I'm a year away, so wait up for that review. Both deserts are good. I like the brownies and the ice cream sandwich. Now I'll always go when its half price sliders. Its the best deal you can get. Those little things really fill you up. So yea, this is actually one of my favorite places to go. Ignore the service and give it a try.

Nice place for beer and fast food... expect to only get burgers and hot dogs and beer. The burger were decent (greasy but tasty) if you're into sliders and the price was reasonable. I will probably go back. It had a cool after work atmosphere and didn't seem like it was full of college kids. I took my young kids there around 6PM on a Thursday... kind of hard, not too kid friendly or at least for under 6 yrs old. BTW, the valet parking was a nice touch!

Wow, I was expecting average and got awesome. Really great greasy burgers. I don't wanna know the calorie content because it would totally ruin it for me. Who ever wrote their menu has a sense of humor. For instance, I got the "Double Wide" (and I do feel double wide today...). They also have a dessert called chocolate crack...I was intrigued. I will definitely be back.

I've been here twice. I thought their food was good. I don't know about best in the states though.

I love Harry's! The burgers and fries are always delicious. The service is neither here nor there, but I've never had a poor experience, so I think that says something. I do prefer to sit at the bar or upstairs because the downstairs seating is ridiculously squished- tables are seriously mayyybe a foot apart. But like I said, the upstairs is fine. I do feel like I should mention that the burgers are fairly thin with crispy edges (generally, anyway) and they have shoe string fries. I absolutely love both of those things, which is why I like it here so much, but I have many friends who aren't as into it for those very same reasons. Also, everything is a la carte, but it's cheap- I've had a burger and fries, with tip, for $8. My only complaint is that they serve soda in cans, but it's worth looking past that for delicious, cheap burgers.

Extra friendly service. Try the Mother of All Burgers (MOAB)!

This place is great. The restaurant is pretty small, but even at 11 pm it was packed with people having some delicious late night grub. I had the "fungus among us" sliders and they were delightful. They weren't greasy, definitely full of flavor and just the right amount of food. When you order the sliders, you get two in a basket. You have to order the fries separately. The beers were good, the desserts looked amazing, but I was so full (or feeling too guilty eating sliders and fries at 11 pm) to have dessert but will definitely go back for more. Loved it.
(4)Jess Z.
Had to re-review, because now I am a fan. I got a different burger, and it was delicious! Also their ice cream sandwich is awesome, I highly reccomend it. Service is whatever, I suppose and upgrade from last time I reviewed. I say give this place a shot, it's pretty charming.
(4)Katie M.
We were here right when they opened because we had just gotten in on the train... so there was no wait and hardly anyone in the restaurant. Sounds like from the reviews that this probably helped my experience. But with every bite, I was like daaaamn these were good burgers. So much so that everybody at my table probably wanted me to shut up about it already. But I gotta spread the gospel --this was pretty tasty, and I clearly made a good decision to spring for the M.O.A.B -- the Mother of All Burgers smacked my tongue off with umami from the mushrooms and gave a one-two punch with the bacon and onion rings. This sounds violent but it was pretty amazing, and my beer was actually more expensive than my burgers. I dug the range of beers on tap, judged the cocktail list to be A-OK and the service the same. It's definitely a very laidback fastfood burger/bar joint but they had the classiest bathroom I've ever seen in such an establishment. There's a TV in there? Kill Bill was playing. Awesome!
(4)Till R.
only got 10 bugs left? are really hungry? allergic to slow and rude service? Harry's will provide the meal that cares for all those problems! the burgers/slides are delicious, as are the sweet potato fries! the service is super nice! you don't have to wait longer for your meal than it took you to read all the variations of burgers on the menu! clear recommendation...really, you should go there!
(5)Catherine N.
PVD was just named America's Best Burger City and Harry's go a special call out. Burgers are fantastic.The MOAB is my fav. Fries are just OK, If your smart you'll pass on them and get another order of burgers. Nice beer selection. Service can be spotty.
(4)Mike F.
I'd love to have eaten here to rate the full experience, but that wasn't possible. I was taken aback, considering the Olde Timey exterior and welcoming looking cow, to walk into a garish, Miami sushi bar. Was further put off by the pulsing, low-quality hip-hop and the absolute, almost...intentional disregard by the staff: not one, not two, but three different waitstaff pushed past me without either asking me what I was doing, standing in the middle of the bar, and without saying 'excuse me' - at which point they all congregated at the end of the bar and chatted to the two super-tan bartenders, who also didn't acknowledge me. 5 employees, I think, ignoring me. I ended up, now curious, standing there for about 4 minutes before one of the bartenders noticed I was there - by the time she said 'hi.' flatly, I smiled and said 'I'm all set, thanks, have a good one' and walked out. Offensive service. Awful interior. Loud, obnoxious music for a place touting itself as a burger-bar. Never again. I wonder if the owner knows what's going on there.

Our original destination on this trip was Harrys' sister restaurant, Luxe Burger Bar, located about 2 miles away in Downcity Providence. Parking was an issue, so we decided to try Harry's. Parking was easy on North Main Street, and in we went. The place is small, but we easily found a table. After looking over the very extensive beer list, and hearing the beers on tap, I opted for an Old Specked Hen on tap. So far, so good. My dining partner and I both opted to order Buffalo Wings and a burger. Actually, the burgers are sliders and come two to an order. My bud opted for the "Mother of all Burgers" while I opted for the "Double Wide". On the menu this is touted as double meat, double cheese. Unfortunately I missed the part on the menu where it states that "special sauce served on all burgers unless noted". My burgers (which I expected to be simple, beef and cheese, came adorned with lettuce, onions and the "special sauce". This displeased me. Onions displease me. But I digress. I re-ordered the burgers "plain". Once they came and were prepared the way I personally like, they were very good. Excellent, in fact. If you don't mind Thousand Island dressing and onions cooked into your patties (ala Stanley's Hamburgers or White Castle), you will enjoy them. However I'm NOT an onion fan, and can tolerate, at best, sauces like the "special sauce". Don't mistake my transgressions for bad food at Harry's; again, once I got what I wanted, it was fantastic. The wings, on the other hand, are buffalo wings.. no more, no less. Nothing special about the wings. They were crispy and the buffalo sauce was decent, but it wasn't anything all that amazing. Overall, on my scale of 1-10, I give Harry's a 7. I would definitely go back, but I would go to Luxe first if it were my choice.
(3)Peter M.
This place does one thing and they do it well: make excellent burgers. They are actually sliders (you know, the little ones), but unlike most sliders, they are never overcooked or dry. Wait, they do two things well: burgers and bacon bloody mary's. Bloody Mary with a bacon garnish? Oh, and the beer list! So three things well: burgers, bloodies, and a small but quality tap and beer list. Like the owl from the Tootsie Roll commercial says, "One, two, three..." Three things: burgers, bloodies, and beers, oh my!

Brief summary: Food is great, staff is unfriendly, very casual and laid back ... won't be returning Full story: Went here later in the night to grab some food with friends. We were sat upstairs which seemed more like we were in someones attic and they ran down to grab snacks for us all. It clearly is set up to be more like a bar, so I do not recommend if you are looking for something nice. It most definitely is a casual and laid back place to go. Our waitress was blunt and short with us, didn't seem like she wanted to be bothered by us. I ordered the Strawberry Sour in which she said was very good, I was unsure since it has egg whites in it, but it turned out to be quite tasty! While sitting awaiting for our friends to show up, I hopped on here to Yelp on my phone to read reviews about this place. Luckily I did so I didn't expect for much. The burgers are small and do not come with sides. You can order fries, the sweet potato french fries are good, but they seem like it was the skin of the potato that was fried up. When the girl took our order she rushed us, as we finished ordering she grabbed the menus and ran off. So we all sat there and joked about the poor service we were receiving. Luckily none of needed anything after we received our food, because the server did not come back to check on us until we were done with everything. I actually had to knock on the floor to attempt to grab her attention as if we all were standing up to leave. She came upstairs and didn't ask if the food was good or if we wanted dessert, just grabbed the plates and left to the back room. She then came back to our table with a half empty water pitcher, placed it down for us to fill ourselves, and then went downstairs after placing the check down. No thank you or anything. Of course as always we were paying with a card, so we sat and waited for her to come back up, and as we figured, no return. We waited long enough for us to become annoyed with the lack of service. I then had to turn to my phone, and to Yelp and then called the bar where our server had answered. I promptly informed her it was us from upstairs calling and that we were waiting around for her and she said "okay" and hung up the phone. We then heard a stampede which was in fact her running up the stairs to run the card. She didn't say anything to us, just grabbed the card and charged it and then returned to downstairs. Bottom line is you need not to expect service here, especially if you are in a rush, and if so then I would sit at the bar so you can get attention when you need it.
(1)Agnes T.
Well...the food was good (when you finally got it). The service was terrible. There are plenty of better options like Fatbelly's or Trinity Brew Pub. 1/2 star for service 3 stars for food.
(1)Uncle K.
Stopped in for a bite yesterday...Had the MOAB, Bacon Cheddar Dog, S&P Fries, and Sweet Potato Fries and a Warsteiner. The staff was very friendly and it's my kind of environment. This place could easily be 5 stars if they paid closer attention to seasoning. I LOVE salt, but everything I had was too salty for most anyone.
(3)Chris R.
Bomb burgers and fries. Not to mention high quality selection of brews
(5)Steve r.
Here comes the bad guy. I wasn't impressed by the place that much. Pretty much a hole in the wall that was pretty tight down stairs. Everything seemed over priced for me. I can list a bunch of beers that i have had on tap at other bars much cheaper then getting here in a bottle. A few of them were a value, but some I laughed at the priced, better off drinking at home or track 84. The burgers came and I said "where's the beef?" I could eat 10 of these things the burger was so thin. I will give it this is has taste, it wasn't a bland burger, but I want a mans burger. This is like a quick bite, and i think that is what they trying to do, be an upscale fast food place. The fries themselves were nothing special. Of course you can get toppings. Half price burgers is a good call, but i will not be looking to be eating between 3-5 i think it was. Well don't worry Chow Fun Food Group, you still will get my money. I think Luxe Burger is the best burger place hands down and at a great value. Next time I am going to skip Harry's and go to Luxe the next time I want a burger downtown.
(2)Danielle W.
My friend and I decided to try the fairly new restaraunt last weekend as we had both heard "rave" reviews about Harry's. The previous location of Chinese Laundry, hasn't much changed. There are 3 floors; the first 2 are dining and the bottom floor is a bar area, there is also a bar on the 2nd floor when you first walk into the establishment. The drink menu was unique and the food menu was okay; definitely some different burger choices; all of their burgers are sliders. Fries and side dishes are purchased seperately. The food was okay, I've definitely had better burgers elsewhere. The waitstaff were friendly and knowledgeable. The quarters are tight; we were basically sitting with the people next to us and you have to be a size 2 to squeeze in between the tables to sit on the bench if you don't take the chair. I don't know that I'd go back there again, but I can see this being a good spot to go for college kids to stop in for cheap eats.
(2)Amanda L.
Just visited Harry's last night for the first time and we had a great experience. I had a groupon and there were no issues with using it. I had the double wide, which was the perfect amount of burger. I can see someone maybe still be hungry after eating the single patty sliders. The double wide was great with the sauce, meat and cheese. It really did taste like a shake shack burger. The fried onion strings were much better than the S&P fries. I have been to luxe many times and actually preferred the food at Harry's. Plus the parking is easier over here than at Luxe. Next time I am craving a burger, I will head to Harry's!
(4)Jennifer N.
Looking for that perfect hangout spot that features decent food, awesome music, and amazing service? Harry's is definitely it! All burgers are served as a 2 slider and are quite filling! Oh and their frozen mudslides are amazing as well! However my one and only complaint is that the fries are not served with your burgers and are sold separately. Other than that, I deem this restaurant and it's accessible location, a must try!
(3)Tyler S.
This place was absolutely amazing! I took my girlfriend here just as a place to eat when we were walking by, and I think we found our new lunch spot. The food was very good, the service was very friendly and the place had a nice atmosphere. I was able to get all of this for $8.50 before tip which included drinks, two meals, and some fries. I will definitely be returning here!
(5)Ann S.
Tried this place on a recommendation from the RISD museum shop people. Great recommendation! My husband had the cheeseburgers and was craving them all weekend after wards. I had the black bean veggie burger. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that the veggie burger needs a little help. They're hard to do (homemade- anyone can nuke a Boca), but this one is a little sloppy. Half of it fell out of the bun before I could eat it. It just needs a little more "binder" and then it would be great. Also the french fries are made for chili on top- they are super crunchy and would hold up really well. That being said, if you get them plain, they are slightly overdone.
(4)Foodie F.
It's fast food! Such garbage!!!!
(1)Michael R.
Like others have said, the happy hour half-priced sliders are great. Food was great, only complaint was the high priced draft beer. I ordered a pint of Newport Storm seasonal, to my surprise it was a winter porter, odd considering it was April. I was even more surprised at the price 8.00! Thought I was getting a deal on the half-priced sliders, only to get slammed with the steep price of seasonally late beers. Still tasty nonetheless. That said, I'll definitely go back, but maybe stick to soda.
(4)Scott L.
I've been wanting to try this place since it opened up down the street from me, and being the burger guy that I am, the anticipation was incredible. Well I finally got around to it this evening, and while the decor is nice, as is the beer selection, I wasn't particularly impressed with the food. While the burgers were pretty decent, the 2 sliders didn't come close to satisfying my appetite. I probably should've ordered 2 but next time (if there is one) I'll know better. So the bugers were good, but nothing to write home about. The meal DOES NOT come with french fries, you have to order them separately, and theyre pretty much the equivalent of McDonald's french fries. The wait time was not bad for us, however, a couple sitting behind us had already ordered before we came in, and had still not gotten their food but the time we were ready to pay our bill. They were understandably irritated. I don't know if they were exaggerating, but I overheard the man saying they had been waiting an hour and a half. Overall it was okay, I guess from the other patrons experience and other reviews on here that the wait time can get out of hand,
(3)Bob S.
Solid place for a cold beer and good little burgers. Very good little burgers. Wait staff is usually pretty solid, not aways on the spot with the beer refill... would probaly sell twice as much if they paid attention to our glasses! Worth the trip for a tasty burger.
(4)Jeff S.
Great service and great burgers. Not the restaurant's fault but went there on a Friday afternoon with my 10 year old boy and had a bad experience. We've been there many times before, it's his favorite place for burgers. We sat next to four preppy college guys dropping the "f" bomb every five minutes. They had the look of intelligent people but obviously they were ignorant. I got their attention and showed them I was with my son but they could care less and continued with he profanity. I realize it's called "BAR and burger" but it was a Friday afternoon, not a Saturday night. There was also another couple there with their toddler but fortunately they were far enough away not to hear these geniuses. It always amazes me how ignorant people are and the lack of respect for people around them. So frustrating. I want to take my son back there but I'm worried I'll have the same problem considering it's a hang for college students.
(3)David C.
I am a big fan of this place. If you are looking for a good burger(sliders) and an excellent beer selection, this is your place. It does not have the best seating situation and the service can be a bit slow if it is busy, but the staff is friendly and Harry seems like a decent enough guy. I prefer off nights and try to sit at the bar if at all possible. Never had a problem with undercooked meat as someone else posted.
(4)Kevin l.
great food, great staff and definitely a place i willgo again!
(5)M B.
I've been here twice (once for lunch and once for dinner - will say the dinner service was far better), and both times the food has been absolutely outstanding. I am addicted to the veggie black bean burger with barbecue sauce and potato sticks, the sweet potato fries with kryptonite aioli, and the onion strings. I also had a ridiculous cocktail here with top-secret ingredients - it wasn't on the menu, but involved gin and St. Germain. My waiter recommended it when I tried to order something else from the menu, and I am so glad he did - just goes to show you the level of service. I always appreciate when a waiter goes out of his way to help you avoid a mistake! The beer list is also comprehensive and provides guidance on alcohol content and state or country of brew. All in all, we are hoping this will be a new nighttime spot for us.
(5)Andrew E.
Delicious burgers, great drinks, outstanding collection of beers, perfect service.
(5)Connie W.
Still awesome. I tried the pulled pork sandwich for the first time and I think I love it better than their burgers?!?! Do I dare say that. It was fabulous. Also noticed the giant hot dogs on the grill...will need to try those! The sweet potato fries with kryptonite aioli are also incredible. Aioli is a tad salty but maybe it's because I was silly and didn't order a sweet hard shake to balance it out...I will do it right next time.
(5)jamie v.
Went there for a party and they were accomodating. I know people say it's a funny layout but we were on the second floor in a back room and it was great. There is not a lot of overhead noise so you can actually carry on conversations without yelling and if you're bored with your friends you can go to the rest room and watch a movie on the flat screen. Regarding food---i got MOAB and my husband got the pulled pork on burger and we split the sliders . While at first i wasn't a fan of the slider thing i will say that it's plus for those who like to split or always want what the other person is having. Both burgers were great and tasty. Fries are 'ehhh' so so. THey were good to have on hand but wouldn't give a two thumbs up. The onion strings are just that but essentially delicious vehicles to carry oil and are easy to enjoy. I also split the hot dog and just got it plain with the condiments on the side although you can get it with anything that you would put on a burger. Last--the beer selection is AWESOME......can't say enough and if you start at the bar the bartender will give you a taste if you're unsure. The utensils were plastic but you don't need them except to eat the irish brownies dessert which was also pretty good. Overall it was it a great dining experience at a burger joint. If you're looking for upscale this is not that kind of place but it's good food at decent prices.
(4)Martha S.
Food was sooooo yummy! Got the M.O.A.B. its has everything. Thanks to this place I don't miss Shake Shack in NY anymore!!! They also have a hugge beer selection. Will be back for sure! The only reason that I don't give them 5 stars is because the burgers are a bit greasy.
(4)Jonny W.
I had high hopes for this place but it unfortunately came up very short. This place will survive strictly upon the lunch crowd during the week and the late eaters in search for something quick to chomp on to soak up beer late night. They only have sliders on their menu, 2 one ounce burgers and for the price I would say pretty good. However, the onion rings were quite subpar, or onion strings I should say. They have a very good selection of beers but they are overpriced. It's obvious from seeing the markups on their menu that their profit margins will be 90% drink based. Scale of one to ten I give it a solid 6, subtract .5 for the waitress making us feel rushed even though there was practically no one in the place on July 5. Sorry, if you want a good burger head to Luxe, leave this one off unless you're in the area late night and must have something to chomp on.
(2)N B.
This place has great burgers for a great price. Plus they have an interesting draft beer selection and shuffleboard in the basement. Who could ask for more?
(5)Jim C.
Awesome. That describes this place perfectly. Awesome food - fresh and perfectly prepared. A wonderful balance of flavors! Awesome drinks - a perfect martini!Awesome staff - attentive and pleasant. I'll be back very soon!
(5)Zachary B.
The sliders are out of this world! The MOAB and the double are so good. Also Bacon Bloody Mary's!!
(5)Rachel B.
This is a sweet college-town spot that I'd recommend to anyone who happens to be in the area. Full disclosure: I'm an incredibly picky eater, and if I would have come here hungry, I would have been in major trouble.* That being said, I came to drink some cider, not to eat a bunch of sliders! The sweet potato fries I ate were top-notch, but the burgers my fella ordered were untouchable in my book. He enjoyed them completely, and we hit some kind of happy hour special, so they were super cheap. The service here was great, and it was a fun place to hang out on a Sunday afternoon. -1 star because there was literally nothing on the menu I would have eaten as an entree. *Please note that the author of this review does not eat burgers, hot dogs, chili or reconstituted meat of any kind. It's partially a texture thing, but mostly because things that are ground up and slapped back together are just plain icky. Additionally, I don't eat bell peppers or onions because they make me sick... so yeah. Not a lot of options for someone like me! Maybe grill a portobello and put it between a couple buns?
(4)Farah K.
It was our first trip to Rhode Island to watch the Waterfire show at Providence. We were early and vey hungry so decided to stop by at this place through a recommendation from a staff at Nuovo cafe. It was definitely worth the try! The turkey burgers were yummy and perfectly seasoned. Chili fries w cheese were crispy-perfectly fried. I would recommend this place to anyone.
(5)Alycia G.
This place has become a great little spot for me to grab a bite after a long night at work. I don't get out of work until late in the evening and I'm able to come here and grab some solid inexpensive food. Is there anything better ? Yea there is! When you go to a place with good food that isn't pretentious and the staff is super friendly! We were in here on a Monday night I believe and the cook and bartender were awesome ! We went again this past Monday and the cook came over to us because he recognized us. Super cool vibe here and super cool staff with yummy food and great beer selection. Check it out!
(5)Kate D.
Stopped in here on a whim after a business meeting and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food is. Upon first walking in, I noticed it was quite a tiny restaurant. I believe there is an upstairs seating area but I did not see it, so my review is simply for the downstairs part of the restaurant. It was a cozy and hip place, playing indie hip hop and upon walking in, the servers and bartender were very friendly and helpful. I opted to sit at the bar and order the B.L.C (Bacon Lettuce and Chicken) with a side of fries. I got two slider-sized burgers and they came out quick. They were absolutely delicious - the bacon and the cheddar melted in my mouth and the chicken was made perfectly. It was juicy and tender (man that sounds gross to actually say or write) and the french fries? Delicious! I'm really interested in trying out their other burgers. You can tell that Harry's definitely knows what they're doing in the burger world. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger: "I'll be back."
(4)Todd M.
Just love this place and for so many reasons why. The burgers or should I say sliders are great. Usually go with M. O. A. D but have tried the others and haven't been disappointed yet. The onion rings or should say strings are great and done just right. So are the French fries as well. Yes the wait can be long at times, crowded yes depends on the day and time. Loud or for sure when there is many in that day. Also have outside bistro chairs to sit at on a great day. Service is usually fast and efficient, though I'm sure some days it may seem slow. Especially when your hungry and starving but doesn't that happen anywhere then loll. The beer list is great and I'm sure has something for anyone. From normal beers to great ipa to local breweries. When in the area just stop in and try it, you will thank me later.
(4)Mike S.
Mother of all burgers is the get. Also like the double. There's no better place to get a bite in providence between 3 and 5. Half off all burgers!
(5)Margaret G.
I've been wanting to try Harry's for a good long while now. After much debate about where to go for dinner last night, my friend and I decided to finally give it a shot. We were lucky enough to find parking fairly close. Street parking on North Main can be stressful to say the least. Upon walking up to the door we saw some people seated at little tables out front and a server taking orders. When he saw us he greeted us, very friendly and opened the front door to the restaurant for us. We were given a choice of where to sit, upstairs, downstairs or outside. We chose downstairs and were led into a tiny area in the back with high tops and a view of the kitchen. Our server was super nice and offered us suggestions. We were craving milkshakes and they did not disappoint. I ordered the chocolate caramel and my friend got the vanilla caramel. Both very good, not super thick like some places which made it nice and easy to chug lol. We both ordered the bacon burgers and salt & pepper fries. Amazing. So simple but so tasty and perfectly portioned. The space is cute and the downstairs is very small. The food came out lightning fast and it was as if our server could predict our next move, showing up with waters or condiments before we could even form the thought to ask for them. The prices are very good and I left feeling full but not sick full which was perfect. I look forward to visiting Harry's again and maybe partaking in some of their chili cheese fries...
(5)Jennifer R.
I'm kind of a burger snob. I scoffed when the people I was with suggested Harry's. But, I was out numbered, and no body wanted to go to any of the higher priced, "grown up" establishments I suggested. Oh, hot damn was I glad I lost that vote. Damn. Delicious. Burgers. Like, so good. Fries were awesome, service was friendly, so many beers to choose from. Super reasonable prices. Nothing bad to say!
(4)Kristine R.
What I remember the most about this place is the amazing service we got here and the funky decor. It's a small space that features bold contrasting colors (red, black, white, brown). Its has retrofitted bathroom signs, cow spotted prints and high top dark wood furnishings. I always ask for the staff's recommendations for drafts and food. The waiter didn't disappoint. He took into consideration our tastes and the popular picks. He also accurately described the daily draft's flavors for a novice beer drinker like myself. The waiter was pretty chill and got our sarcastic humor. *brownie points* The food was well prepared. The M.O.A.B sliders tasted pretty awesome, messy, cheesy, saucy and oozing with flavor. The chili fries were all sorts of delicious. Not to mention, addicting. Come with good company, great conversation and they will take care of the rest!
(5)K H.
My husband and I are obsessed with this place!! The burgers are absolutely delicious!! They also have a wicked good beer list!!! Every time we are in the Providence area we stop in to Harry's!!
(5)Kavia K.
The sliders are the perfect size and amazingly tasty :) Happy hour is the best
(5)Jordan A.
Harry's is my go to lunch spot. I'm not a slider person myself, but these are far better than any other sliders. I always get 3 of the crunch burgers- it's my favorite and I always leave full. However, I'm glad I came back after my first experience- I was told 35 minutes and waited an hour and a half. Eventually we sat down at a table outside, and so did another group of people who had JUST walked up. They were immediately given menus after seating themselves, and nothing was offereed to us who had been waiting. The food was good enough to warrant a second attempt. I don't know about dinner here; I didn't want to relive that experience. While I do love it here, I have to take a star off for the inconsistency of the service and I feel as though the beer is a little overpriced, mostly for the craft beers on tap.
(3)Camden O.
I've had many burgers and Harry's definitely takes the cake! While the West Coast is graced with burger establishments like In-N-Out, here on the East Coast we have Harry's! Unfortunately, there is only one.... Rundown: Very affordable burger sliders (topped with onion strings for a crunch), a hip atmosphere, a variety of microbrews, and even hard milkshakes. If you're in Providence, don't pass it up. Skip the drive-thru and grab Harry's instead. Although, be prepared for a wait as this eatery is very popular.
(5)Austin J.
Harry's in in a great area of town on a quant street. I've been wavering between 2 and 3 stars but decided on 3 because the sweet potato fries were great. I've never been to a burger place that will only give you well done burgers. I asked for rare and was told NO. A little strange in my book. The burgers were tasty for what they are. The toppings definitely made them. Service was good, place was clean. I would say it's more for the late drinking crowd then true burger fans. Really no reason to go back.
(3)Travis A.
I absolutely love this place. There is very little I can say about Harry's that won't sound like a love affair. However, I digress, it's not all rainbows and gumdrops. CONS: Beer Prices - This is the biggest reason I can not give this place a full 5. The beers on tap (and some of the bottles), and ridiculously overpriced. I can not and will no justify $6.50-$7.00 for a BBC IPA. Everywhere else I go it's between $4.50 & $5. Murphys in downtown doesn't even charge that for a Two roads Rye 95 which is a better bear with more Alchohol. The G Pub in downtown charges the same for a Founders Old Dirty Scotch Ale, and that's an import and rated one of the best beers ever made. Don't buy beer here. You will be taken for a ride. On top of which, the selection is pretty mediocre for then being so high. Service - An ongoing issue in Providence and it's no exception here. I know it's a beer bar so it's not going to be top level like Gracies or Persiman, however, can you at least keep some sort of professionalism behind the bar? There is this one woman who is there frequently (glasses, usually works slow nights during the week), who is just a hot mess behind the counter. She is has dropped or broken something everytime I have been in, her laughs are loud and super obnoxious during quiet times so the whole resturant heres it. Her gossip just flails on and on. I get it, you are comfortable at your job, you coworkers are friends. That being said, not everyone wants to hear about your night out or issue with someone. I know I don't want to hear it when I am trying to enjoy some food after a long night at work. Also, if it's busy, don't expect to get food quickly. You will wait anywhere from 5-10 mins after you sit for a waiter to walk up, then another 5-10 if you haven't decided on drinks yet, and another 5-10 for food if you don't know what you want yet either. This happens because the waiters there can not multi task at all. On top of which are talking with co-workers to much to get a move on. Be ready to order as soon as you sit. It will save you time. Keep in mind, I have been in about a dozen times not, and this happens about 50% of the time. PROS: The Burgers & Dogs: Best hamburgers & Hotdogs in Providence hands down. The sliders are always juicy, flavorful, & cooked just right everytime. So many selections of sliders to choose from with each topping being special in its own way. Plus, potato buns? Can you ask for much more? The hotdogs are large. Nice foot longs with some weight to them. Juicy all beef dogs, just as if you were making them on the grill during the 4th of July. Again, potato roll with it. Should I say more? Happy Hour - Not only are these silders amazing, but, you can get them half off between 3-5 during the week if you eat in. You can get 4 sliders for $5-$7. Such an amazing deal if you can make it and know how good their sliders are. Milk Shakes: Also killing it on the shakes. 4.50 for Non Alchoholic which is fine by me because they look, and taste like a classic 50's diner shake. Yum. Overall, I highly recommend Harry's and have gone back a bunch. The bad service part of the time and overpriced beer is not enough to keep my away from those burgers and shakes.

Had the Moab burger and it was awesome! Wife had the black bean burger, and she couldn't stop raving about it. Wish the bottle of beer I got had been a little colder, but overall great place!! Don't forget to try the cookie ice cream sandwich and to hit up some of the chocolate crack! Cookie sandwich is a 2 man job, but the crack is a small enough serving that you will not want to share.

One of the best restaurants In providence, hands down! I go to school in Providence, and I try to go to Harry's once a week. Everything on their menu is great, but we always get the sliders. I've tried every slider on the menu, and cannot pick a favorite, their all that good! The average person seems to get either 2 or 4 sliders(as they are sold in pairs) but I typically get six, because I can never get enough. If you go between 3 and 5, the sliders are half priced, so you can get a gourmet meal for about 7 dollars. The only downside is the restaurant is rather small, which means there's almost always a wait, but it Is definitely worth it!

Spent the day in Providence and lucky for us stumbled by this burger bar. They serve 2 sliders for about $6 and they are delicious. We also got the fries, with cheese and jalapenos, which were yummy. Good beer selection to choose from and the chocolate crack is killer. All told burgers, beer, fries, and a sweet treat for $15/ person -- that is hard to beat. Check this place out.
(4)Joe C.
I've only gone once, but I really like this place. They do burgers the right way. Thin and fried on a flat top slider style. Really delicious. Prices are cheap and they have an awesome beer selection. As I am writing this review, I am craving one of their burgers. The servers were very nice as well. A really cool little spot in Providence. If you want to just stop in quick and whack a couple of sliders and craft beer down. This is your place. Thanks
(4)Neatha S.
Passing thru Providence looking for a local place for lunch we happened to find Harry's. Very good burgers, great beer selection, friendly service.
(4)Lauri L.
We love it here, and we come at least once every week or two. The burgers, the sweet potato fries, the salt & pepper fries, the onion strings - all delicious. Personally, I recommend the Pig Pile Burger, but my husband likes the M.O.A.B. And the beer selection (and cocktails) are also great. It's usually crowded, and parking can be challenging, but there is valet parking available most evenings. The service is usually terrific, too. This is the place we take many out-of-town friends.
(5)Shar A.
Um yum! Amazing sliders here with unique variations. Fries are great and great beer selection too! Very affordable and staff is really fun and nice. Place is small, but I love how cozy it is. Sit at the bar to try some of their fun drinks. Great Main St. location. Love love.
(4)Meghan M.
Harry's is a great spot to sit at the bar since it's a smaller and more intimate place than other restaurants in the area. Excellent sliders and really great prices!
(4)Alex D.
Good beer but the bartender seemed overwhelmed with a small crowd and ignored our order giving me the wrong draft. I loved my turkey burgers but my boyfriend was a little upset by the small portions
(3)Joanne B.
Harry's was probably my best find when I lived in Providence. Their prices are great, especially half price sliders from 12-3 who can beat that! The place itself can be a little cramped, but once you move past that fact, you'll love it! The sliders are the perfect size. My favorites are the mother of all burgers or the fungus among us, sometimes I even combine parts of the two. The servers are attentive and helpful, but do not expect high restaurant service, it is a burger place after all. Their fries are the right mix between crispy and soft, I am a fan of both the sweet potato fries and the salt and pepper fries. For desert if you're not too full, try the crack. It's a saltine cracker with caramel and chocolate, it sounds a bit different, but it is amazing! Harry's has a good selection of craft beer, carrying some kinds that are especially hard to find at other places. If you sit at the bar the bartenders are friendly and can give you some knowledge about some of the lesser known beers. Whenever I am back in Providence Harry's is always a stop, I definitely recommend it!
(5)Rachel K.
Good sliders fries and beers. Very cute and fun kind of place. We got the pig pile burger (comes w pulled pork) and the fried onion string burger. My preference was the pig pile. Quick and friendly service. We will def be coming back!
(4)Alexandria C.
Harry's is a go-to spot or me for a few reasons; 1. It's almost a hole in the wall. I enjoy low key, casual places because you can pop into with jeans and a t-shirt, or a fancy night-out outfit. Either is fine here. Judgement free. Also, chalkboard walls are a fun addition. 2. They have black bean burgers. Vegetarian friendly for people like myself. ALSO, sweet potato fries with some fantastic sauce. Two thumbs up. 3. Their beer selection is extensive and that is necessary in any burger joint. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, and I have never had to wait for a table for more than 5 minutes.
(4)Lisa S.
Fast service and delicious burgers. Sweet potato fries were good. Regular salt and pepper fries were soggy only complaint. Place was small but comfortable! Be back soon!
(4)Joseph H.
This place was great but heed my warning 2, 3 burgers MAX or you will be sorry **key thunder and lightning** Now that the warning is out of the way we were greeted promptly and grabbed a seat upstairs. The cocktails were imaginative and slightly hipsterish but very good. I would skip the fries really run of the mill even with their green dipping sauce. The burgers we juicy and ooooooooh so good I suggest going with a few people getting several different ones and sharing.
(4)Phil S.
Found out about this place when I read about it on CNN dot com, who rated them as the #1 burger place to check out in 2014. I got the cheeseburger sliders, probably the best slider I've ever had. You need to upgrade to three sliders (typical order is 2), or you will be sorry. All people in my party thanked me for taking them here, everything was top notch.
(5)Amanda A.
Came here on a yelp review. Tried a draft Kolsch and had the MOAB sliders (mother of all burgers). Friendly staff, good atmosphere and good music!!! I'd come back for sure if I'm ever back in Providence!
(5)Annamarie T.
So I came here for the first time after passing it a ton of time prior and boy I was not disappointed! The food was great, the service was great, and the vast beer selection was great. The burgers are to sliders, but that was plenty of food don't be fooled by the term slider this is no white castle burger. In addition fries were good too, the sweet potatoes fries came with this spicy green sauce which was pretty good. I loved the atmosphere and decor, I was a tiny bit tacky but in a good way. They also had a great variety of beers, and they even offered "Das Boot"! All in all, this place is def worth checking out for a great burger, I was not disappointed with my stop here and I am sure you won't be either. I mean the food is really reasonably priced, great bar, friendly service, and for dessert Irish Car Bomb Brownie... Is there really any going wrong with that combination?
(5)Alice L.
We stopped by on the way from Cape Cod back to NYC and I wanted to take Harry's with me! It was Happy Hour 3-5pm, half off burgers! Forget Beer specials, I'd take a Juicy Burger any day!!! First off, after you pass by the bar area, you enter this cool room with booths lining the walls and those awesome foot rails. There are awesome cow spots everywhere. They have a "makeout room" crossed out to be the Rest Rooms. The Decor is just awesome. Harry's Burger isn't a Burger, it's 2 Sliders and I use the term "sliders" loosely. It's like 4-5x the size of a white castle burger, it's Huge... for a slider. We ordered the Crispy Onion and Chili Burger, both delicious, both oh a Potato Bun YUM! Both HALF OFF!!! I want to try them all!!! We ordered a side of Chili Fries and Onion Straws - ironically, the toppings of our burgers. Both were good but I would have rather tried the Sweet Potato Fries or had another burger! If we ever stop by again, this is a must do!
(4)Jess P.
Harry's is probably my favorite place to eat in the city. The beer selection is fantastic, their drinks are strong and tasty, their adorable slider burgers are to die for!
(5)JOHN P.
Usually pretty good have been here an hour and still no food.its a Sunday afternoon at 1230 and I have to wait over an hour for our food awful experience
(2)Robert K.
This place is optimized for late night. While I like to go for a full-sized burger, these sliders are more than filling and great for a late night hunger craving without the remorse of late night overeating. Also, a really choice beer selection. Service was fine when we went. Can't complain.
(4)Liz T.
I've refrained from reviewing Harry's for a long time because I wanted to really evaluate the place on its own merit and not on the fact that I'm not really a "beer and burger" kina gal. But frankly, I've totally digged the vibe ever since stepping foot into this cute little eclectic abode. And yes, I'm totally a regular there now. From the cow sculpture outside (which is missing some parts?) to the full bar being up front, marking the entrance way to Harry's, I've loved this place from the start. A few things I would recommend if you're a little like me: 1) Chicken BLC sliders. 2) Kryptonite and special sauce. 3) Guinness and bailey's brownie bites (seriously SO freaking good). I totally dig the sauces. And yes, I am a saucy kinda gal. Oh and BTW. Half-off happy hour burgers from 3-5pm DAILY. One of Providence's best kept secrets!!! Something I totally get excited for if given the chance to eat out at that time.
(4)Sarah C.
My fiance discovered this place one Friday, and we were back again on Sunday we liked it so much. Small (so be warned) but very cute, with awesome sliders, fries, and beer. The bartender let me try out some beers when I was unsure of what I wanted. I ended up getting a Bloody Mary and it had a big ol' slice of bacon in it, yum! We love this place, we only went on off-peak hours though so not sure how busy it gets.
(4)Joe P.
Superb chili sliders! Nice beer selection. Excellent for lunch, especially, a late lunch with the the half price burgers 3-5pm. Very prompt and cheerful service.
(5)Dave L.
Went here with slightly high expectations based on the ratings. I'll keep it simple; Service - poor. Is 'Disaffected" the work ethos of the under-30 generation? 10 minutes for the hostess to appear, 10 minutes for the waitress to show up once we were at the table. It wasn't that busy. Food - burgers (actually sliders) were good, not great. Fries were standard frozen shoe-string style. I did like the onion strings, but the chipotle dipping sauce was terrible. It had a very unpleasant taste, completely outside of any heat the sauce had. Cleanliness - poor. Dirty floors; large dirty trash bin right behind our table; menus with schmutz on them; bartender handled several dirty glasses with his fingers inside to carry them while pulling a draught, then handled that fresh draught. I watch things and notice stuff like this - it sucks because I can't ignore it. Other thoughts: While I liked my sliders, I don't really like the whole slider concept. I'm a big boy so give me a big boy burger. I can handle it. The whole slider thing is annoying now, much like the cupcake craze. Enough already. Food served in plastic baskets sucks. Give me a goddamn plate! I'm not into kitsch, I'm not into whatever hipster vibe this represents. I want real food served with some respect for me, the diner. Put some effort into making me feel like you value my business. Harry's has good beer, a lot of potential, but too many minuses. I am not a fan.
(2)Rob J.
Yes, burgers are very tasty, with good variety. Hot dogs also pretty amazing (chili dog-wow) as are the fries. If I'd had a drink or two probably would have given five stars, but it was a school nite.
(4)Justin B.
Great concept, Sliders and fries, with good beer on draft. The burgers are delicious, but I always need to get a threesome, thats when you add a 3rd burger to your order. The sliders are small but the prices reflect that, so adding a 3rd burger is not expensive. The selection of toppings are all well thought out and work great. I love all fries and some people have strong opinions on thin fries. The only drawbacks are the service, size, and Cleanliness. All 3 need attention, size can't change but the other 2 can and they go hand in hand. Better trained staff will help this place so much. I have given this place 4 stars not 3 because the burgers are that tasty that I can put the food ahead of service.
(4)John A.
Tried Harry's yesterday (April 23, 2013) after I read some Google reviews. Came in at lunch and it is SMALL. But they have a very interesting menu of specialty hamburgers which come in a "slider" format of 2 smaller sandwiches per order. I tried a bacon, cheese burger at lunch with fries - very distinctive, interesting. I found myself driving by about 3:15 and remembered that my, friendly, waitress said they had a special from 3-5:00, so I stopped and ordered a chili, cheese burger and a couple other choices to take out. The chili burger was, again, distinctive. I can see where it can be crowded, but certainly very interesting to me and my initial experience was good.
(4)Jeff C.
Sliders are AMAZING! There's always a great selection of beer with good drinks as well. The food is very affordable and the food comes out fast so it's great for a quick meal for lunch or a day of bar hoping. Depending on what time you go parking sucks but I don't ind walking. There's not a whole bunch of seating so it can get tight but I've never had to wait too long to get a seat. Highly recommend giving this place a try.
(4)Fran L.
I dined here before attending evening classes at RISD. I usually arrived by 5pm so I had no problem getting a seat downstairs. Apparently, they have some upstairs seats, too. Harry's is best known for their classic sliders with buttered buns and their variety of beers. The burgers are fresh seasoned meat grilled quickly for a juicy treat. The pepper fries are good. Service is kind and fast. I could get in and out if there within a half hour. I even tried their vegetarian black bean burger..very tasty. Pair the veggie burger with sweet potato fries..yum!
(5)Adrian M.
Great burgers, nice soft fresh buns...can't get any better than this.
(4)Willie M.
I had the pastrami/burger sliders, which I really enjoyed. My only complaint was that it cost me $29 for two beers (one tap and one bottle) and my burger(with tip). So if you don't mind blowing a quick $30 bucks then it's a good stop...or maybe next time, I'll ask for the cheapest beers they have on hand...
(3)Monika S.
Love this place, super cheap and good Veggie Burgers!!! Fries with cheese super duper yummy with salt and pepper and jalepenos. Good wine list by the glass for a beer and burger bar! This is a fun night out that doesn't break the pocket book. I will be back again and again. Plus they play great music from The Cure to Muse to good ol' school The Clash and new mixes from awesome DJs.
(4)Adam H.
Sliders are a nice change of pace from the massive burgers served elsewhere. Got the chili-topped version and they were tasty. Ordered onion strings, which are a little greasy but they're onion strings so of course they are. Great seasoning. Ice cream sandwich was a fun dessert choice. Overall everything tastes great and can't beat the price.
(4)Taylor V.
Love Harry's for late night snacks. The MOAB is the absolute best with a nice Duvel on the side (which is hard to find in PVD). Chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich is perfect to split and you end up devouring it. The atmosphere is a bit stuffy but as long as you get a seat you'll be ok. The cow print decor just adds to it. Waitstaff is always friendly, too.
(4)Mike D.
I stopped in craving a burger, and I left craving a burger. For a burger bar, I didn't find them particularly good. They serve slider style and give you two, but I would rather just have one honking burger. The side of onion straws were super greasy and tasted more like fried straws sans onion. The redeeming factor in this place is the cozy atmosphere and interesting draft selection. They only have about 6 on draft but they usually pick them quite well. They also offer a large bottle selection if nothing on the lines appeals to you.
(3)Julie B.
Whined my way out of waiting 40 minutes in the cold at Union Station so Hubby proposed we tried Harry's. You can't miss the place, giant cow on the sidewalk ~MOOOOOO~ If you like beer, this is the place for you, Hubby had a ball while I had a Bourbon Brownie (adult milkshake) which was sinful. $8 each The burgers -are- small but seriously delicious, I had a Pastrami and Hubby got the Fungus among us (shrooms). Around $5,50 each plate A loaded bowl of Sloppy Fries (where's the fork!?) for $3,50 and for dessert, Irish car bomb brownies! $2,99 Overall the food was delicious and the place is really cute inside, a bit packed but not overly so. My LOL moment happened as we were leaving, I pointed out the glass statue on the bar to my husband and he couldn't see it. I yelled a bit too loud "The one with the tits!" and everyone at the bar laughed. We'll definitely go back
(4)John O.
Went for happy hour , half price sliders were great, nice beer selection , will return
(4)Sarah F.
Kind of unfortunate how an indifferent, expressionless server can overtake a perfectly good slider. Another contribution: sweet potato fries with disappointing aioli-not-aioli. Sliders are sliders, though, and they were fine. We tried regular, cheese-laden, and Cuban varieties and they were all very slidery. I could do with more than one tiny pickle chip per slider, but I am an admitted pickle fiend. Pricing here is tricky. Sure, the sliders seem cheap, but you're going to want fries with that and when you want fries with that plus a beer (of course you want a beer) (maybe two) you're looking at $10-15 for what you thought was a quick slider snack. Factor that in before you walk in the door. You can count on the beer selection--on tap and in bottles--to be satisfying, though. And my friends who tried schmancy cocktails were pleased with their various sours-with-egg-whites. Final note: If Harry's had outdoor seating, I would be so down.
(3)Kimberly H.
After a long day of moving to a third floor walk up all I wanted was a burger and a beer. In our travels I had seen the big cow out front and remembered a sign that said craft beer and we (me, my wife and my in-laws) decided to check it out. Burgers were good, cooked to order and very satisfying. Could I have jammed another small burger down my throat - sure! But not really necessary. We enjoyed the ordering fries and onion straws separate because we were able to get a basket of each and share and there was way more than enough. To top it all off they have half price burgers from 3-5 every day!! I don't know why but I was expecting more beers on draft...no reason - just my own vision I guess. That said the beer I had was out of this world!! Huge selection of bottled beers as well. I went in expecting a burger and a beer (note the name of the restaurant) and got exactly what I wanted and expected. This place is about a mile from the new place and I will certainly go back!
(4)Izabela B.
Harry's is rockin'. Aside from the impossible-to-miss cast iron cow on the sidewalk at the entrance, everything about Harry's is utterly non-pretentious and comfortable. We sat upstairs in a room with two glass walls. The music was great. Our waitress was super friendly. The beer selection was impressive. The fries were perfect. How else to describe Harry's? I don't know. While still in the downtown, Harry's is just a stone's throw from all the downtown action. Which is probably why we always missed it before. Good thing there's a big cow out front, because we probably would have walked on past. Honk if you love burgers.
(4)Jess G.
I have been to Harry's a couple times now with friends. I was a bit hesitant about the food when I first came and had a bit of trouble actually finding the restaurant, which sort of blends into the neighborhood. The place was very quaint and had an easy-going atmosphere. I ate upstairs away from the bar itself and it was quiet and enjoyable. The menu was limited but it definitely focused on the main attraction, the burgers themselves. I started liking the idea of the sliders at that point because I wanted to try a couple different burger options and was able to share them with a friend. My only issue was that I wished the wait staff knew their menu a bit better. When I asked for suggestions, my waitress did not really have anything to say, which is disappointing. I always like to hear the popular choices or personal recommendations. However, I ended up picking the crunch burger and the meltdown with a side of sweet potato fries. It was very good overall, a bit oily for a burger I noticed but I liked the size of the sliders and the option of variety to try. I also really loved the aioli that was served with the fries, it went well together. Overall, I will definitely go back again and recommend to anyone looking for a place to go with friends and try some great burgers and bar food.
(4)Steve B.
Finally made it to Harry's, and for someone who doesn't even like hamburgers that much, I was very satisfied. This place is a little too trendy, the service not perfect, and feels almost like an upscale fast-food joint, but somehow it all comes together and really works. It's nice to have a small selection of interesting beers too (with a little info on a chalkboard about them). The pulled pork sliders could not compete with the grilled chicken or basic bacon cheeseburger sliders, but it was fun and delicious to try them all. The menu says "no substitutions", and that keeps the service quick and simple. Definitely a great spot to pop in to for a late-night date night bite.
(4)Valerie Z.
We returned! Still great. I had a chili dog and fries. Absolutely delicious! Oh, and we were there during Restaurant weeks so we got dessert...these absolutely amazing ice cream sandwiches made with vanilla ice cream and chocolate chip cookies. Wow!
(4)Linda F.
Food really slow coming. Buns cold when they finally arrived. But, I'll come back and give em another chance.
(3)Jason L.
Love the atmosphere here. Small intimate bar feel and I'm always able to get a table. I've been here a couple of times. First time I came here pretty hungry, and I was expecting a big beefy burger and some fries. I didn't get that beefy burger... instead I got some burger sliders. Delicious... just not very filling. I like to eat... maybe I'm just a pig? Be sure to get an order of fries. They are awesome! Now the most important part of going to burger joint that has "bar" in its name... DRINKING! Harry's has a pretty big selection of beers. Which goes perfect with your sliders!
(3)Harold O.
Beer selection-- eh Food--eh ambiance--eh service--eh John Elkay's restaurants usually suck for a year or so anyway, so I am sure they will figure it out by the end of the summer.
(2)David G.
I've only been here on the weekends, and each time I'm one of the two tables with people sitting at it. I wonder if my timing is off? I don't mind at all, though, because the service is quick and attentive. I will say, each time I go, Harry's is "out of something". One time it was chili, the next time it was drink mix, the other time it was aioli. This is probably a good thing, since things are fresh, and not just packaged....just wish I could get a complete meal, of everything I asked for. As for the grub. Two sliders and a fry are filling. You get just enough. Go for the burgers that have a "topping" as well, pulled pork, or pastrami. The M.O.A.B. is an awesome concoction of mushrooms, onions straws, bacon....it is truly the MOTHER OF ALL BURGERS. Beer selection is clutch, all price ranges and flavors are available from gansett to delirium. I'm not a Harry's burger Fanboy yet...but I'm on my way
(4)Jazmin I.
I love this place, I've gone sooo many times. Used to be kind of a regular until I decided to cut back. People complain about the service, but I don't care if the waitresses are too lax and not as attentive. Overly friendly staff usually pisses me off anyway. I go for the food and the food is good. I've tried almost every slider... you can't really go wrong. I prefer the pulled pork, bacon, and pastrami sliders. Now I'm not a big fan of the regular fries... so I always order the chili fries... soooo good. I can't say anything about the drinks yet. I'm a year away, so wait up for that review. Both deserts are good. I like the brownies and the ice cream sandwich. Now I'll always go when its half price sliders. Its the best deal you can get. Those little things really fill you up. So yea, this is actually one of my favorite places to go. Ignore the service and give it a try.
(4)Daniel G.
Nice place for beer and fast food... expect to only get burgers and hot dogs and beer. The burger were decent (greasy but tasty) if you're into sliders and the price was reasonable. I will probably go back. It had a cool after work atmosphere and didn't seem like it was full of college kids. I took my young kids there around 6PM on a Thursday... kind of hard, not too kid friendly or at least for under 6 yrs old. BTW, the valet parking was a nice touch!
(3)Lindsay T.
Wow, I was expecting average and got awesome. Really great greasy burgers. I don't wanna know the calorie content because it would totally ruin it for me. Who ever wrote their menu has a sense of humor. For instance, I got the "Double Wide" (and I do feel double wide today...). They also have a dessert called chocolate crack...I was intrigued. I will definitely be back.
(5)RR M.
I've been here twice. I thought their food was good. I don't know about best in the states though.
(4)Louise E.
I love Harry's! The burgers and fries are always delicious. The service is neither here nor there, but I've never had a poor experience, so I think that says something. I do prefer to sit at the bar or upstairs because the downstairs seating is ridiculously squished- tables are seriously mayyybe a foot apart. But like I said, the upstairs is fine. I do feel like I should mention that the burgers are fairly thin with crispy edges (generally, anyway) and they have shoe string fries. I absolutely love both of those things, which is why I like it here so much, but I have many friends who aren't as into it for those very same reasons. Also, everything is a la carte, but it's cheap- I've had a burger and fries, with tip, for $8. My only complaint is that they serve soda in cans, but it's worth looking past that for delicious, cheap burgers.
(4)Mel D.
Extra friendly service. Try the Mother of All Burgers (MOAB)!
(4)Jen C.
This place is great. The restaurant is pretty small, but even at 11 pm it was packed with people having some delicious late night grub. I had the "fungus among us" sliders and they were delightful. They weren't greasy, definitely full of flavor and just the right amount of food. When you order the sliders, you get two in a basket. You have to order the fries separately. The beers were good, the desserts looked amazing, but I was so full (or feeling too guilty eating sliders and fries at 11 pm) to have dessert but will definitely go back for more. Loved it.
(4)Jess Z.
Had to re-review, because now I am a fan. I got a different burger, and it was delicious! Also their ice cream sandwich is awesome, I highly reccomend it. Service is whatever, I suppose and upgrade from last time I reviewed. I say give this place a shot, it's pretty charming.
(4)Katie M.
We were here right when they opened because we had just gotten in on the train... so there was no wait and hardly anyone in the restaurant. Sounds like from the reviews that this probably helped my experience. But with every bite, I was like daaaamn these were good burgers. So much so that everybody at my table probably wanted me to shut up about it already. But I gotta spread the gospel --this was pretty tasty, and I clearly made a good decision to spring for the M.O.A.B -- the Mother of All Burgers smacked my tongue off with umami from the mushrooms and gave a one-two punch with the bacon and onion rings. This sounds violent but it was pretty amazing, and my beer was actually more expensive than my burgers. I dug the range of beers on tap, judged the cocktail list to be A-OK and the service the same. It's definitely a very laidback fastfood burger/bar joint but they had the classiest bathroom I've ever seen in such an establishment. There's a TV in there? Kill Bill was playing. Awesome!

Just thinking about Harry's makes me want a burger. So yummy! I love the Mother of All Burgers - it's my favorite. The mushrooms, crispy onion pieces and bacon make it amazing. The fries - sweet potato, salt and pepper and chili - are all fantastic. GREAT beer selection and the price is deliciously cheap. My hubby has on occasion felt compelled to eat four sliders, but for the average person, two is sufficient with fries. Definitely my favorite burger place!

only got 10 bugs left? are really hungry? allergic to slow and rude service? Harry's will provide the meal that cares for all those problems! the burgers/slides are delicious, as are the sweet potato fries! the service is super nice! you don't have to wait longer for your meal than it took you to read all the variations of burgers on the menu! clear recommendation...really, you should go there!

PVD was just named America's Best Burger City and Harry's go a special call out. Burgers are fantastic.The MOAB is my fav. Fries are just OK, If your smart you'll pass on them and get another order of burgers. Nice beer selection. Service can be spotty.

I can't say enough good things about this place. Let me just recount my experience: We didn't know where to eat in Providence although I'd heard of Harry's before. We wandered in and I didn't know it was the same place I had heard of. We were seated immediately with no wait during a busy lunch time. The waiter was highly prompt with both our drinks, appetizers and food delivery. The sliders were easily some of the best I've ever had. The sweet potato fries were exactly right and the sauces weren't overwhelming or too spicy. The bill was reasonable and everything was promptly delivered by a very courteous and thorough waiter. All told, simply an outstanding experience. It was far more than I expected for a place like Harry's and I am so glad I was pleasantly surprised. We'll be going back EVERY time I am in Providence. Hopefully your experience will be the same.

Simply the most amazing burgers in Providence! They are super juicy and full of flavor. I have been here a number of times and never had a bad burger. I was here last night for a friend's birthday, we sat upstairs and had great, friendly, prompt service. I love the pastrami sliders!! The beer boots are delicious as well :)
(5)Andrea B.
Best sliders I have ever had. My favorite were the ones with the pulled pork. Service was excellent, great selection of beer to choose from, food was fantastic, and the carmel milkshake was a fantastic way to end a great meal.
(5)Amy S.
Absolutely loved it!! The burgers were very tasty and didn't leave you completely stuffed to where you wanted to just keel over and take a nap! I had the classic and my boyfriend order the bacon cheeseburger. Both very yummy! I love the idea of two mini sliders rather than a huge burger that you can barely fit into your mouth. The sweet potato fries were very delicious! However, the kryptonite sauce that came with it did nothing for me. It lacked in flavor a lot! My boyfriend ordered the cheese fries and he didn't care for them at all. Not a fan of cheese-wiz. Their beer selection was quite large and offered a very nice variety. When we received the bill, we were both shocked on how reasonably priced it was. We both agreed that we would definitely be coming back here the next time we come to Providence!!

Bartender served can of beer and an empty glass - had to pour my own beer! Order of sliders and fries took over an hour! First and last visit.
(1)Maryan P.
You don't have to be in college to love these burgers, With every bite I kept making ummm noises b/c they were so delicious. They are sold as sliders so you get 2 each. Great beer too, I got Berkles brown - which was very tasty. Small bar area - maybe 6 seats. If we are ever in the area again - we would be stopping by.

Full disclosure, my friend works here! I have to limit my review to the food and beer because I would not count as an impartial observer on the service. One thing I have thought about Providence is that it is a place with truly exciting restaurants and bars that put this tiny city in direct competition with the big boys like New York. We know it, and can be pretty snobby about it. It is fun to bring people from other parts of the country here, and to surprise them with the sheer concentration of yum. Burgers are a challenge, because many think their local burgers are the best. We had the Ugly American, which sadly closed. We still have Harry's, which carries sliders that offer a true burger experience. Burgers are suppose to be made from moderately fatty ground beef, they should be juicy to the point of being a little drippy, and the meat portion of the burger should be good enough to stand alone, so the burger itself isn't relying solely on the condiments. These rules are immutable, and are believed to be innately imprinted in our minds, showing apparent expression in early childhood. We may have inherited this trait from our burger loving ancestors. What makes a truly good burger, is the perfectly constituted patty combined with toppings that amplify its flavor notes. This can be achieved with very fresh vegetables, bold cheese, and a bun that provides little interference with the flavor of the meat. Potato flour buns are optimal for this task, since they have a mildly sweet flavor that remains stable as you chew. Harry's utilizes all of these ingredients, and does so with that charm that you get with a lot of places in Providence. We aren't fancy schmancy, but that doesn't mean our food has to be made out of industrial waste and bio hazardous material. The ingredients are from local sources much in the tradition of Providence. When I go to a restaurant, I don't want too many options. Too much choice is not good. It has the psychological impact of making you unsure about your decision. I also means that they have TONS of stuff sitting in the freezer, because no restaurant would have a million menu items knowing that much of the food won't be ordered, and would just have to be thrown out. The limited nature of the menu convinces me that their claims about fresh and local and genuine. My taste buds confirm this. Now, all of that being said, I DO want a large selection of beer to choose from. Beer won't go bad sitting in a fridge. The more beer to choose from, the more opportunity I will have to search for just the right craft-slider combination. On several occasions, I have asked servers what they thought, and found some incredible pairings. If there is anything I have discovered in life, it is that the right beer makes the burger. Harry's knows this, and you will know this soon too if you head on down to North Main.

Basic sliders and fries are good. I don't do beer, but mixed drinks are creative and enjoyable. While kids are welcome, I think it's more for adults. The place is cute and you just have to love the cow!!! However, space is tight. I've been a couple of times with one or two other people and once with a party of more than a dozen and that wasn't very comfortable because of the seating. I enjoy the restaurant much more when there are just a few of us eating. If you're looking for a fun little place to go in and out of quickly for decent food, I recommend it. If you're looking to settle in and relax for the evening, this is probably not the best place to go.
(3)Michael G.
Good Burger place. Each burger order is 2 sliders. Don't fool yourself, this will be enough for you. The burgers are full of greasy goodness. This is not the place you come to start your diet. This is a Burger Joint. A delicious burger joint. Order the Onion Strings with the Chipotle Ketchup. Its awesome. Great Beer Selection as well. It gives you a opportunity to show how much of a beer aficionado you truly are.
(4)Jessie N.
Great sliders, coming from a guy who preferes a thick juicy burger. The onion strings were bomb and the MOAB sliders were delicious.
(3)Todd S.
Stopped in for lunch, due to a great recommendation from Andy Kerr! Had a combination of turkey burgers and sweet potato fries, with several glasses of homemade iced tea. I am still in awe of the great meal. Service was very attentive and quick, for such a small place.
(5)Keyser S.
I love this place. Seriously. I've never been a huge slider fan, but the flavor of these little burgers is just amazing.
(4)S S.
Outstanding service, great food, great beer, and extremely reasonable prices. The only knock against this place is the parking, which isn't really their fault. I took my girlfriend here (on her recommendation) and invited two friends to meet her. My friends and my girlfriend are all into beer, and everyone loves burgers, right? The menu says "No substitutions", but don't worry; there is enough variation that you can find something you like, maybe by taking something off when it arrives. But you won't want to. The burgers were cooked perfectly, and you get two of them per order (three if you pay about a buck extra). They're sliders, but still, amazing. Their fries are also excellent, just the right size and crispness. The beers are slightly pricey, but you can get the really good stuff here, not the swill and standard popular beers that most burger joints will sell you. Also, their deserts? Get the chocolate crack, no matter how odd it may read in the description. Their ice cream sandwiches are good too, enough for a meal themselves, but the crack? It alone is worth the effort to go here. It's worth the effort to find parking. You will enjoy yourself, I promise you!
(5)L P.
Favorite spot for burgers and beer in RI!
(5)Paul W.
I do like the sliders on the potato rolls -very good, But the onion fries are almost as bad a canned rings. Everything is served in platic trays so not a place for anything upscale. The place is also a bit clautrophobic and not comfortable at all. Not a good place for groups larger than 2. They played head banging music turned way up, to the dismay of about 90% of the patrons. Staff was pleasant and informative however. If I go again it would be for Take-Out Only. Too many places have great sliders to put up with the bad ambience.
(2)Vinny G.
We tried Harry's last night for their grand opening. I was pleasantly surprised by the cool decor, relaxed... chill atmosphere, great beer selection, and fun crowd. They went with a bit of a cow theme, which totally works... and bonus... they have a life size replica cow right out front. Other great features: -Amazing beer selection, including some heady draft brews -SHUFFLE BOARD table in the downstairs game room -Wait... did I mention they have a GAME ROOM?!? -Diverse seating options - bar stools, high tops, regular tables... -Cute waitresses and bartenders! -Awesome food, reasonably priced. Remember, next time your friends want to go wait in line at Olives.... head across the street towards the Giant Cow!
(4)Tom L.
Really, one of the highlights of our trip to Providence. The food is just so good, and fairly priced. And the DRINKS are AMAZING! My partner had a drink that tasted like a chocolate milkshake, and I had a drink that was like a root beer float with vanilla ice cream. WOW. And the drinks are cheap... I think our drinks were like $8 each. Waitress was friendly and helpful. We LOVED this place.
(5)Jessica S.
the funghi burger and sweet potato fries were very good. cute little place. what was not good was the icky green aoli that came with the fries. we did not like that and it does not go well with the fries. stick with some sort of honey maple mustard. also there was ketchup but no mustard or salt/pepper.
(4)Kyle S.
I'm usually a pretty patient person but the wait for food at Harry's tested it. When the burgers finally came out they were decent but they weren't enough satisfy my man-sized hunger. They have a decent beer selection, which included a cask conditioned English bitter ale. In the back part of the restaurant you can see the cooks flipping the burgers, maybe this is a subtle hint to throw them a few extra dollars so you can get your food in less than 2 hours.
(2)Cara G.
I like Harry's... and would love to like it more. But I struggle. The sliders are great. Being a smaller appitite person, I am sometimes overwhelmed by portions. The sliders at Harry's are perfect for me, and boy are they cooked right. I have tried both their beef variety, as well as the veggie bean burger. Both have been top notch. I dont wanna scare big appitite lovers away, they definitly offer great sides and multiple opportunities for filling up!! (i.e. great seasonal and not-your average brews). I do love Harry's food (I would give the burgers, salt and pepper, and sweet potato fries 5 stars)... but I am a sucker for good service and just cant seem to find it here. Each time I have been the service has been not so swell. I feel like there might be a party in the back room because no one emerges. I run out of water, beer (dear lord), and even was once charged for a dessert when no one in my party even ordered one.... I'm gonna stick with my 3 stars. I'll go back, only if i need sweet potato fries and a fungus amoung us burger......
(3)Matt C.
Ok, but nothing amazing.
(3)Rebecca R.
I LOVE their sliders! When I have a serious craving for a burger I go here. Actually... just thinking about Harry's makes me want to go there now! I have never had a bad burger. I've had the fries, chili fries, wings, soup, chocolate crack, and hot dogs. Everything is always great! Their sliders are priced exactly what they should be and 3-5 daily they're half off. My only complaint (and the only reason they don't get 5 stars) is the pricing of some of their other food items. A cup of chicken soup is $5. Which btw it does not say on the menu what size you're getting. I was not happy when they brought me a cup of soup for $5, maybe thats my problem for not asking first. A small portion of wings are almost $8. Their alcohol, beer and hard liquor, is way over priced for the atmosphere they're trying to achieve. I can see a "high class" place charging almost $9 for cocktail, but not a burger joint. Sorry thats just me. I HIGHLY recommend them for a great burger or hot dog and if you're not as cheap as me the soup and wings are great as well. As far as the service goes, I've never had a problem. I'm there a few times (probably more) a month. Maybe I just get lucky or have a gift for picking the right times to go. No complaints about the service here.
(4)Sarah O.
Delicious homemade veggie bean burgers and sweet potatoe fries. Great beer selection. Very helpful staff. Casual/hipster vibe. I'll definitely be back soon.
(4)A Z.
Word of advice: Don't let your eyes wander around the menu, just get the burgers. So I've had the burgers, a hotdog and buffalo wings here. The burgers are where it's at. You get two sliders, and if you get in for happy hour, all sliders are half off. All of the sliders seem to be pretty tasty. I like the burgers with pulled pork on them, but the regular ones with ketchup and mustard are just dandy too. Parking is a minor nuisance, but not terrible. It's street parking, but there's a lot of it, so you might have to drive around the block once or twice, but what's new? Overall, this is a cool place if you plan on doing a bit of drinking, since their portions are so miniature, you can gobble and drink a little at a time (or a lot at a time).

We went there on a whim the past two Saturday nights. It's a good place to stop for a beer and quick bite after a concert or evening shopping trip, which was the case for us. If you're looking for atmosphere or a memorable experience, go elsewhere. A big plus was the free valet parking & the attendant, who we got both times and remembered us. He was by FAR the friendliest person we've encountered there. Both times, we were in the back behind the bar (not realizing there's more seating upstairs), which is probably just as well since if the service was this bad while we were in plain view, I can only imagine what would have happened if we were further away. The burgers were good, the sweet potato fries were okay, and we were happy with the beer selection. I've been a server & all you have to do is be efficient & friendly. Fail. Last week is was OK - not terrible, but far from great. The second time I was really annoyed. We were treated like we were cutting into her social time and had to practically BEG to pay & leave while she endlessly chatted with the next table. I don't think either one ever introduced herself, and neither seemed at all interested in doing their job. My advice: bring the valet guy in-house & get some personality in there.
(3)Ben S.
They serve sliders only, which are slightly different from burgers so the name is a bit misleading. That being said, fantastic sliders. Great lunch prices, great beer selection (30+ beers), and we had a really friendly waitress. I will be going back many times
(4)John H.
Bout the 4th time there. It is what it is. Great beer selection and fantastic burgers. We usually sit at the bar. The bartenders and staff are very friendly and layed-back. If your going for low-cal, low-carb, not your place.
(4)Nicole A.
Harry's offers half-priced burgers every day from 3-5 pm. That alone is reason to give the place a try. My man and I checked it out the other day and we had a swell time enjoying delicious burgers and fries, plus we each had a beer and our check totalled just under 20 bucks. We loved our burgers. He had the MOAB, I had The Fungus Among Us. We both had salt and pepper french fries. The burgers were hot and juicy and served on delightfully soft potato rolls. The service was friendly and efficient and our food arrived faster than we expected. Not one to make a habit of complaining about stuff that is free, I can't help but at least mention that the tap water here tastes pretty lousy. It tastes just as bad at my house, so I can't fault them for that. And it is free afterall, so I should just shut my mouth about it... We'll go back to Harry's again for sure.
(4)Analien A.
I ate twice at Harry's Bar & Burger during a business trip to Providence. It was within walking distance of my hotel, the Providence Biltmore. Harry's has a lovely beer list and delicious food, and good service as well. The portion sizes may look small (two slider-type burgers in an order) but I could barely finish!
(4)Bob B.
Really enjoyed my first two visits here. First time was a quick lunch run that was a good time. The lunch deal is pretty cheap but fortunately, you don't get what you paid here. The sliders and fries were both tasty and fresh. On the second visit, I hung out at the bar with a buddy. I tried the pastrami sliders which were a crazy good. My friend actually ordered a second round apparently to confirm how good they were. And yeap, they were just as good. The beer selection was good as well so really, how can you go wrong with this type experience? Oh wait, I know how. I parked in a loading zone and got a $30 ticket. Even so, I was glad I went. I will just pay a bit more attention to the vague Providence parking signs next time. (grin)
(4)Peter M.
This place does one thing and they do it well: make excellent burgers. They are actually sliders (you know, the little ones), but unlike most sliders, they are never overcooked or dry. Wait, they do two things well: burgers and bacon bloody mary's. Bloody Mary with a bacon garnish? Oh, and the beer list! So three things well: burgers, bloodies, and a small but quality tap and beer list. Like the owl from the Tootsie Roll commercial says, "One, two, three..." Three things: burgers, bloodies, and beers, oh my!
(4)Mike F.
I'd love to have eaten here to rate the full experience, but that wasn't possible. I was taken aback, considering the Olde Timey exterior and welcoming looking cow, to walk into a garish, Miami sushi bar. Was further put off by the pulsing, low-quality hip-hop and the absolute, almost...intentional disregard by the staff: not one, not two, but three different waitstaff pushed past me without either asking me what I was doing, standing in the middle of the bar, and without saying 'excuse me' - at which point they all congregated at the end of the bar and chatted to the two super-tan bartenders, who also didn't acknowledge me. 5 employees, I think, ignoring me. I ended up, now curious, standing there for about 4 minutes before one of the bartenders noticed I was there - by the time she said 'hi.' flatly, I smiled and said 'I'm all set, thanks, have a good one' and walked out. Offensive service. Awful interior. Loud, obnoxious music for a place touting itself as a burger-bar. Never again. I wonder if the owner knows what's going on there.

Our original destination on this trip was Harrys' sister restaurant, Luxe Burger Bar, located about 2 miles away in Downcity Providence. Parking was an issue, so we decided to try Harry's. Parking was easy on North Main Street, and in we went. The place is small, but we easily found a table. After looking over the very extensive beer list, and hearing the beers on tap, I opted for an Old Specked Hen on tap. So far, so good. My dining partner and I both opted to order Buffalo Wings and a burger. Actually, the burgers are sliders and come two to an order. My bud opted for the "Mother of all Burgers" while I opted for the "Double Wide". On the menu this is touted as double meat, double cheese. Unfortunately I missed the part on the menu where it states that "special sauce served on all burgers unless noted". My burgers (which I expected to be simple, beef and cheese, came adorned with lettuce, onions and the "special sauce". This displeased me. Onions displease me. But I digress. I re-ordered the burgers "plain". Once they came and were prepared the way I personally like, they were very good. Excellent, in fact. If you don't mind Thousand Island dressing and onions cooked into your patties (ala Stanley's Hamburgers or White Castle), you will enjoy them. However I'm NOT an onion fan, and can tolerate, at best, sauces like the "special sauce". Don't mistake my transgressions for bad food at Harry's; again, once I got what I wanted, it was fantastic. The wings, on the other hand, are buffalo wings.. no more, no less. Nothing special about the wings. They were crispy and the buffalo sauce was decent, but it wasn't anything all that amazing. Overall, on my scale of 1-10, I give Harry's a 7. I would definitely go back, but I would go to Luxe first if it were my choice.
(3)Joe A.
One of my favorite places to eat hands down. The burger buns are awesome. Also you have to get the sweet potato fries over the reg fries they are so much better. My wife likes the pig pile burger but I am a fan of the duo. The half off 3-5pm is an awesome deal as well. There is also a great beer selection. Overall this is a place that you will come back to time and time again.
(5)Katrina G.
I'm a regular. Great fresh sliders and yummy margaritas. I'm not a beer drinker, but I hear they also have a good beer selection. Very reasonable for simple dinner and drink. Oh yes, also love love the ice cream sandwich--yummy.

Brief summary: Food is great, staff is unfriendly, very casual and laid back ... won't be returning Full story: Went here later in the night to grab some food with friends. We were sat upstairs which seemed more like we were in someones attic and they ran down to grab snacks for us all. It clearly is set up to be more like a bar, so I do not recommend if you are looking for something nice. It most definitely is a casual and laid back place to go. Our waitress was blunt and short with us, didn't seem like she wanted to be bothered by us. I ordered the Strawberry Sour in which she said was very good, I was unsure since it has egg whites in it, but it turned out to be quite tasty! While sitting awaiting for our friends to show up, I hopped on here to Yelp on my phone to read reviews about this place. Luckily I did so I didn't expect for much. The burgers are small and do not come with sides. You can order fries, the sweet potato french fries are good, but they seem like it was the skin of the potato that was fried up. When the girl took our order she rushed us, as we finished ordering she grabbed the menus and ran off. So we all sat there and joked about the poor service we were receiving. Luckily none of needed anything after we received our food, because the server did not come back to check on us until we were done with everything. I actually had to knock on the floor to attempt to grab her attention as if we all were standing up to leave. She came upstairs and didn't ask if the food was good or if we wanted dessert, just grabbed the plates and left to the back room. She then came back to our table with a half empty water pitcher, placed it down for us to fill ourselves, and then went downstairs after placing the check down. No thank you or anything. Of course as always we were paying with a card, so we sat and waited for her to come back up, and as we figured, no return. We waited long enough for us to become annoyed with the lack of service. I then had to turn to my phone, and to Yelp and then called the bar where our server had answered. I promptly informed her it was us from upstairs calling and that we were waiting around for her and she said "okay" and hung up the phone. We then heard a stampede which was in fact her running up the stairs to run the card. She didn't say anything to us, just grabbed the card and charged it and then returned to downstairs. Bottom line is you need not to expect service here, especially if you are in a rush, and if so then I would sit at the bar so you can get attention when you need it.
(1)Agnes T.
Well...the food was good (when you finally got it). The service was terrible. There are plenty of better options like Fatbelly's or Trinity Brew Pub. 1/2 star for service 3 stars for food.
(1)Uncle K.
Stopped in for a bite yesterday...Had the MOAB, Bacon Cheddar Dog, S&P Fries, and Sweet Potato Fries and a Warsteiner. The staff was very friendly and it's my kind of environment. This place could easily be 5 stars if they paid closer attention to seasoning. I LOVE salt, but everything I had was too salty for most anyone.
(3)Chris R.
Bomb burgers and fries. Not to mention high quality selection of brews
(5)Steve r.
Here comes the bad guy. I wasn't impressed by the place that much. Pretty much a hole in the wall that was pretty tight down stairs. Everything seemed over priced for me. I can list a bunch of beers that i have had on tap at other bars much cheaper then getting here in a bottle. A few of them were a value, but some I laughed at the priced, better off drinking at home or track 84. The burgers came and I said "where's the beef?" I could eat 10 of these things the burger was so thin. I will give it this is has taste, it wasn't a bland burger, but I want a mans burger. This is like a quick bite, and i think that is what they trying to do, be an upscale fast food place. The fries themselves were nothing special. Of course you can get toppings. Half price burgers is a good call, but i will not be looking to be eating between 3-5 i think it was. Well don't worry Chow Fun Food Group, you still will get my money. I think Luxe Burger is the best burger place hands down and at a great value. Next time I am going to skip Harry's and go to Luxe the next time I want a burger downtown.

My friend and I decided to try the fairly new restaraunt last weekend as we had both heard "rave" reviews about Harry's. The previous location of Chinese Laundry, hasn't much changed. There are 3 floors; the first 2 are dining and the bottom floor is a bar area, there is also a bar on the 2nd floor when you first walk into the establishment. The drink menu was unique and the food menu was okay; definitely some different burger choices; all of their burgers are sliders. Fries and side dishes are purchased seperately. The food was okay, I've definitely had better burgers elsewhere. The waitstaff were friendly and knowledgeable. The quarters are tight; we were basically sitting with the people next to us and you have to be a size 2 to squeeze in between the tables to sit on the bench if you don't take the chair. I don't know that I'd go back there again, but I can see this being a good spot to go for college kids to stop in for cheap eats.
(2)Amanda L.
Just visited Harry's last night for the first time and we had a great experience. I had a groupon and there were no issues with using it. I had the double wide, which was the perfect amount of burger. I can see someone maybe still be hungry after eating the single patty sliders. The double wide was great with the sauce, meat and cheese. It really did taste like a shake shack burger. The fried onion strings were much better than the S&P fries. I have been to luxe many times and actually preferred the food at Harry's. Plus the parking is easier over here than at Luxe. Next time I am craving a burger, I will head to Harry's!
(4)Jennifer N.
Looking for that perfect hangout spot that features decent food, awesome music, and amazing service? Harry's is definitely it! All burgers are served as a 2 slider and are quite filling! Oh and their frozen mudslides are amazing as well! However my one and only complaint is that the fries are not served with your burgers and are sold separately. Other than that, I deem this restaurant and it's accessible location, a must try!
(3)Tyler S.
This place was absolutely amazing! I took my girlfriend here just as a place to eat when we were walking by, and I think we found our new lunch spot. The food was very good, the service was very friendly and the place had a nice atmosphere. I was able to get all of this for $8.50 before tip which included drinks, two meals, and some fries. I will definitely be returning here!
(5)Ann S.
Tried this place on a recommendation from the RISD museum shop people. Great recommendation! My husband had the cheeseburgers and was craving them all weekend after wards. I had the black bean veggie burger. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that the veggie burger needs a little help. They're hard to do (homemade- anyone can nuke a Boca), but this one is a little sloppy. Half of it fell out of the bun before I could eat it. It just needs a little more "binder" and then it would be great. Also the french fries are made for chili on top- they are super crunchy and would hold up really well. That being said, if you get them plain, they are slightly overdone.
(4)Foodie F.
It's fast food! Such garbage!!!!
(1)Michael R.
Like others have said, the happy hour half-priced sliders are great. Food was great, only complaint was the high priced draft beer. I ordered a pint of Newport Storm seasonal, to my surprise it was a winter porter, odd considering it was April. I was even more surprised at the price 8.00! Thought I was getting a deal on the half-priced sliders, only to get slammed with the steep price of seasonally late beers. Still tasty nonetheless. That said, I'll definitely go back, but maybe stick to soda.
(4)Scott L.
I've been wanting to try this place since it opened up down the street from me, and being the burger guy that I am, the anticipation was incredible. Well I finally got around to it this evening, and while the decor is nice, as is the beer selection, I wasn't particularly impressed with the food. While the burgers were pretty decent, the 2 sliders didn't come close to satisfying my appetite. I probably should've ordered 2 but next time (if there is one) I'll know better. So the bugers were good, but nothing to write home about. The meal DOES NOT come with french fries, you have to order them separately, and theyre pretty much the equivalent of McDonald's french fries. The wait time was not bad for us, however, a couple sitting behind us had already ordered before we came in, and had still not gotten their food but the time we were ready to pay our bill. They were understandably irritated. I don't know if they were exaggerating, but I overheard the man saying they had been waiting an hour and a half. Overall it was okay, I guess from the other patrons experience and other reviews on here that the wait time can get out of hand,
(3)Bob S.
Solid place for a cold beer and good little burgers. Very good little burgers. Wait staff is usually pretty solid, not aways on the spot with the beer refill... would probaly sell twice as much if they paid attention to our glasses! Worth the trip for a tasty burger.

Great service and great burgers. Not the restaurant's fault but went there on a Friday afternoon with my 10 year old boy and had a bad experience. We've been there many times before, it's his favorite place for burgers. We sat next to four preppy college guys dropping the "f" bomb every five minutes. They had the look of intelligent people but obviously they were ignorant. I got their attention and showed them I was with my son but they could care less and continued with he profanity. I realize it's called "BAR and burger" but it was a Friday afternoon, not a Saturday night. There was also another couple there with their toddler but fortunately they were far enough away not to hear these geniuses. It always amazes me how ignorant people are and the lack of respect for people around them. So frustrating. I want to take my son back there but I'm worried I'll have the same problem considering it's a hang for college students.

I am a big fan of this place. If you are looking for a good burger(sliders) and an excellent beer selection, this is your place. It does not have the best seating situation and the service can be a bit slow if it is busy, but the staff is friendly and Harry seems like a decent enough guy. I prefer off nights and try to sit at the bar if at all possible. Never had a problem with undercooked meat as someone else posted.

great food, great staff and definitely a place i willgo again!

I've been here twice (once for lunch and once for dinner - will say the dinner service was far better), and both times the food has been absolutely outstanding. I am addicted to the veggie black bean burger with barbecue sauce and potato sticks, the sweet potato fries with kryptonite aioli, and the onion strings. I also had a ridiculous cocktail here with top-secret ingredients - it wasn't on the menu, but involved gin and St. Germain. My waiter recommended it when I tried to order something else from the menu, and I am so glad he did - just goes to show you the level of service. I always appreciate when a waiter goes out of his way to help you avoid a mistake! The beer list is also comprehensive and provides guidance on alcohol content and state or country of brew. All in all, we are hoping this will be a new nighttime spot for us.

Delicious burgers, great drinks, outstanding collection of beers, perfect service.

Went there for a party and they were accomodating. I know people say it's a funny layout but we were on the second floor in a back room and it was great. There is not a lot of overhead noise so you can actually carry on conversations without yelling and if you're bored with your friends you can go to the rest room and watch a movie on the flat screen. Regarding food---i got MOAB and my husband got the pulled pork on burger and we split the sliders . While at first i wasn't a fan of the slider thing i will say that it's plus for those who like to split or always want what the other person is having. Both burgers were great and tasty. Fries are 'ehhh' so so. THey were good to have on hand but wouldn't give a two thumbs up. The onion strings are just that but essentially delicious vehicles to carry oil and are easy to enjoy. I also split the hot dog and just got it plain with the condiments on the side although you can get it with anything that you would put on a burger. Last--the beer selection is AWESOME......can't say enough and if you start at the bar the bartender will give you a taste if you're unsure. The utensils were plastic but you don't need them except to eat the irish brownies dessert which was also pretty good. Overall it was it a great dining experience at a burger joint. If you're looking for upscale this is not that kind of place but it's good food at decent prices.
(4)Martha S.
Food was sooooo yummy! Got the M.O.A.B. its has everything. Thanks to this place I don't miss Shake Shack in NY anymore!!! They also have a hugge beer selection. Will be back for sure! The only reason that I don't give them 5 stars is because the burgers are a bit greasy.
(4)Jonny W.
I had high hopes for this place but it unfortunately came up very short. This place will survive strictly upon the lunch crowd during the week and the late eaters in search for something quick to chomp on to soak up beer late night. They only have sliders on their menu, 2 one ounce burgers and for the price I would say pretty good. However, the onion rings were quite subpar, or onion strings I should say. They have a very good selection of beers but they are overpriced. It's obvious from seeing the markups on their menu that their profit margins will be 90% drink based. Scale of one to ten I give it a solid 6, subtract .5 for the waitress making us feel rushed even though there was practically no one in the place on July 5. Sorry, if you want a good burger head to Luxe, leave this one off unless you're in the area late night and must have something to chomp on.
(2)N B.
This place has great burgers for a great price. Plus they have an interesting draft beer selection and shuffleboard in the basement. Who could ask for more?
(5)Jim C.
Awesome. That describes this place perfectly. Awesome food - fresh and perfectly prepared. A wonderful balance of flavors! Awesome drinks - a perfect martini!Awesome staff - attentive and pleasant. I'll be back very soon!
(5)Zachary B.
The sliders are out of this world! The MOAB and the double are so good. Also Bacon Bloody Mary's!!
(5)Connie W.
Still awesome. I tried the pulled pork sandwich for the first time and I think I love it better than their burgers?!?! Do I dare say that. It was fabulous. Also noticed the giant hot dogs on the grill...will need to try those! The sweet potato fries with kryptonite aioli are also incredible. Aioli is a tad salty but maybe it's because I was silly and didn't order a sweet hard shake to balance it out...I will do it right next time.
(5)Rachel B.
This is a sweet college-town spot that I'd recommend to anyone who happens to be in the area. Full disclosure: I'm an incredibly picky eater, and if I would have come here hungry, I would have been in major trouble.* That being said, I came to drink some cider, not to eat a bunch of sliders! The sweet potato fries I ate were top-notch, but the burgers my fella ordered were untouchable in my book. He enjoyed them completely, and we hit some kind of happy hour special, so they were super cheap. The service here was great, and it was a fun place to hang out on a Sunday afternoon. -1 star because there was literally nothing on the menu I would have eaten as an entree. *Please note that the author of this review does not eat burgers, hot dogs, chili or reconstituted meat of any kind. It's partially a texture thing, but mostly because things that are ground up and slapped back together are just plain icky. Additionally, I don't eat bell peppers or onions because they make me sick... so yeah. Not a lot of options for someone like me! Maybe grill a portobello and put it between a couple buns?
(4)Farah K.
It was our first trip to Rhode Island to watch the Waterfire show at Providence. We were early and vey hungry so decided to stop by at this place through a recommendation from a staff at Nuovo cafe. It was definitely worth the try! The turkey burgers were yummy and perfectly seasoned. Chili fries w cheese were crispy-perfectly fried. I would recommend this place to anyone.
(5)Alycia G.
This place has become a great little spot for me to grab a bite after a long night at work. I don't get out of work until late in the evening and I'm able to come here and grab some solid inexpensive food. Is there anything better ? Yea there is! When you go to a place with good food that isn't pretentious and the staff is super friendly! We were in here on a Monday night I believe and the cook and bartender were awesome ! We went again this past Monday and the cook came over to us because he recognized us. Super cool vibe here and super cool staff with yummy food and great beer selection. Check it out!
(5)Kate D.
Stopped in here on a whim after a business meeting and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food is. Upon first walking in, I noticed it was quite a tiny restaurant. I believe there is an upstairs seating area but I did not see it, so my review is simply for the downstairs part of the restaurant. It was a cozy and hip place, playing indie hip hop and upon walking in, the servers and bartender were very friendly and helpful. I opted to sit at the bar and order the B.L.C (Bacon Lettuce and Chicken) with a side of fries. I got two slider-sized burgers and they came out quick. They were absolutely delicious - the bacon and the cheddar melted in my mouth and the chicken was made perfectly. It was juicy and tender (man that sounds gross to actually say or write) and the french fries? Delicious! I'm really interested in trying out their other burgers. You can tell that Harry's definitely knows what they're doing in the burger world. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger: "I'll be back."
(4)Todd M.
Just love this place and for so many reasons why. The burgers or should I say sliders are great. Usually go with M. O. A. D but have tried the others and haven't been disappointed yet. The onion rings or should say strings are great and done just right. So are the French fries as well. Yes the wait can be long at times, crowded yes depends on the day and time. Loud or for sure when there is many in that day. Also have outside bistro chairs to sit at on a great day. Service is usually fast and efficient, though I'm sure some days it may seem slow. Especially when your hungry and starving but doesn't that happen anywhere then loll. The beer list is great and I'm sure has something for anyone. From normal beers to great ipa to local breweries. When in the area just stop in and try it, you will thank me later.
(4)Mike S.
Mother of all burgers is the get. Also like the double. There's no better place to get a bite in providence between 3 and 5. Half off all burgers!
(5)Margaret G.
I've been wanting to try Harry's for a good long while now. After much debate about where to go for dinner last night, my friend and I decided to finally give it a shot. We were lucky enough to find parking fairly close. Street parking on North Main can be stressful to say the least. Upon walking up to the door we saw some people seated at little tables out front and a server taking orders. When he saw us he greeted us, very friendly and opened the front door to the restaurant for us. We were given a choice of where to sit, upstairs, downstairs or outside. We chose downstairs and were led into a tiny area in the back with high tops and a view of the kitchen. Our server was super nice and offered us suggestions. We were craving milkshakes and they did not disappoint. I ordered the chocolate caramel and my friend got the vanilla caramel. Both very good, not super thick like some places which made it nice and easy to chug lol. We both ordered the bacon burgers and salt & pepper fries. Amazing. So simple but so tasty and perfectly portioned. The space is cute and the downstairs is very small. The food came out lightning fast and it was as if our server could predict our next move, showing up with waters or condiments before we could even form the thought to ask for them. The prices are very good and I left feeling full but not sick full which was perfect. I look forward to visiting Harry's again and maybe partaking in some of their chili cheese fries...
(5)Jennifer R.
I'm kind of a burger snob. I scoffed when the people I was with suggested Harry's. But, I was out numbered, and no body wanted to go to any of the higher priced, "grown up" establishments I suggested. Oh, hot damn was I glad I lost that vote. Damn. Delicious. Burgers. Like, so good. Fries were awesome, service was friendly, so many beers to choose from. Super reasonable prices. Nothing bad to say!
(4)Rodrigo T.
Alright,, make sure you keep a box of kleenex in your man purse. Select the slider of choice and try not to make a mess in your trousers. These guys are spectacular in making their burgers. My burger (M.O.A.B.) is historically destructive my friend. Bacon, mushrooms, cheese and French fried onions. When their powers combine, here comes captain planet. Weeeeeee!!! The fries are in a different level son. Sweet potato sticks then you dip them in their kryptonite aioli,,, OMG!! I don't know what they put in that mayo, but I can bet you it's close to the Heizenberg Blue product. Their service is kick ass, their staff is hella friendly and the bartender working that day is such a delight. Anyways,, come eat here cause it's freaky awesome. Make sure you never miss this spot before leaving Providence. Weeeeeee! Life is awesome when the glass is always half full. (",) Follow me on instagram @rodtorres3
(5)Jenny C.
I don't know how I've lived in Rhode Island for a year and a half and am only now discovering the wonder that is Harry's Burger Bar. I actually want to thank the Yelp! community because I was writing an article on Bloody Mary's, and someone discussed the Bacon Bloody Mary, which is what prompted my visit. So THANK YOU! First of all, Harry's not only has a Bacon Bloody (bacon-infused vodka, garnished with a crispy slice of bacon), they also have the Classic Bloody and the Bloody Murder From Hell (sounds inviting, no? jalepeno-infused vodka, I believe). But when I go back, I'm trying one of their mudslides or shakes because...WOW. Dessert drinkers' delight. And the sliders are, of course, awesome. Their half price from 3-5 happy hour deal can't be beat. Dario the bartender took care of me like a champ. He even tested my brain strength with Narragansett coasters (because he knows them all!) And the sweet potato fries are a must! I will definitely be back!
(4)Dennis U.
I liked Harry's. Good sliders and a funky bar atmosphere. Good fries as well. The MOB was a great burger in concept as well as execution. Good selection of beers as well. If I'm in Providence and looking for burger Harry's will surely come to mind.
(4)Imran N.
It's a small place which serves good burgers and the staff is friendly. Pretty nice serving size for the price. We ordered chicken wings, cheese burgers and fries with jalapeño, typical bar food and it was good. When I ordered the Wide Load which is essentially the double cheese slider, the wrong food was served initially, I notified the server who was very polite and apologetic, she fixed the food quickly and there was no issue. I liked the food and service, will recommend it to anyone.
(4)Jeff K.
1/2 price burgers from 3 to 5. I sat here from 3 to 5. I ate here from 3 to 5. I ate M.O.A.B, the double cheese burger and the burgers with onion and cheese. Ate two orders of chili cheese fries, drank several beers, big butt beer from 3 to 5. I love this place.....more than 3 to 5.
(5)Greyson And Jess G.
Best sliders in town. The patties are juicy and delicious, they keep it simple with toppings and the buns are fresh. Add in some fries or onion straws and a milkshake or a cold beer, and you've got one hell of a meal. The burgers are small enough that you can get just two and not feel like you're throwing away your last 5 workouts. The one downside is the place is fairly small and it gets crowded quickly, the service is just okay, and it can get a little dirty when they're having a rush. But the food is so good I can look the other way... If you want a cleaner, less mobbed, more customer-friendly atmosphere, head to their second location on federal hill, sit at the bar where the chairs are more comfy and you'll get your burgers faster.
(4)Jackie O.
Note: the 3 is for the entire experience. But the food gets 4 stars. Came in around 430 on a Friday and the place was already pretty crowded. Waited for about 10 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. We were finally seated cozily on a wobbly table between other tables (which is fine if you like being close to other people & if you have extra napkins to fix the wobbly table). We ordered and when the food came, our server brought an extra set of sliders which he insisted we ordered...we did not.... But he walked away so quickly that it was too late. Weird. Luckily we were there before 5 so we got half off our burger orders! So, the extra few bucks was not a huge deal. The food: really great. Definitely a good burger for the price. Don't go expecting a masterpiece of a burger- you get what you pay for. The burgers are small but I like the portion size. The sweet potato fries with the aioli dipping sauce were great. The regular fries were eh. I really liked the food, so next time I would just get an order to.
(3)Brent R.
Harry's provides the perfect bite for a quick and convenient-to-my-office lunch at a reasonable price. I nearly always get the basic, no cheese and the salt and pepper fries. Their sliders are tasty and the fries always done to perfection. If possible, grab one of their many beers and sit outside.
(4)Robert C.
Stopped by this place after a concert and the food and service was impeccable. Highly recommend the nachos, overall this place is amazing!
(5)David S.
Just ate the MOAB. Best sliders in Providence hands down. Great vibe, great food. A little tight to sit in, but that's why I get my burgers to goooo
(5)Blake G.
I want to give Harry's a 5. The food is amazing and cheap, the drink selection is great, and the decor is well designed. The only reason I give Harry's a 4/5 is because the service can be hit or miss and the restaurant is very small. Do not go with a party of more than 5. I've had some great service and some so-so service, but those two short falls do not detract dramatically from what is my favorite burger place in Providence. Turkey burger threesome with sweet potato fries and a mud slide shake is a must.
(4)Dina F.
The sliders, the fries, the hard shakes... I could eat here every day! I absolutely love the sliders. They rival the burgers of In-n-Out. Yes, I said it. I recommend the crunch sliders. Their sweet potato fries with Kryptonite aioli is definitely worth a try. I love it, and am now addicted. The flavor is unique and refreshing. For the first time this past week I tried one of their hard shakes. The waiter recommended the mudslide, and my mom and I were enamored. I must get that every time now! The wait staff is always SO friendly and accommodating, too. Great people with friendly and hip demeanor! In conclusion, if you like burgers and you're in a 100 mile radius of Providence, definitely stop at Harry's for a delicious burger slider experience.
(5)Arianna G.
Never had a bad meal here. If you come for happy hour, you can get gourmet sliders dirt cheap, and that's enough to make anyone come back again and again. Their bloody marys are delicious and spicy, and their adult milkshakes don't disappoint. A favorite spot in Providence!
(5)Douglas A.
Any place that offers a "hard milkshake" with twinkles, caramel, and vanilla vodka has got to be amazing! Harry's fits the bill. Slider burgers with handmade local beef patties! Salt and pepper fries with cheese whiz if you wish! Harry's has a full service bar with ample beer choices and "cow quips" like "utterly delicious"! Tiny place, they do takeout too. Near the Providence train station. Yumb...
(4)Toni O.
Nice selection of craft brews - got to try some new ales I'd never even heard of! The prices were extremely cheap, especially by Providence standards, and most importantly - sliders were super fresh and delicious! Everything was perfect. Would happily come back here again on my next visit to Rhode Island.
(5)Emily S.
This place is a little treasure. I went here Sunday with my friends before we went to Muse Paintbar next door and was so pleasantly surprised. I love the idea of the sliders (I had the Bacon Cheesburger Sliders). I was no overly full after I was done (with those and my Cheesy Fries *delish*). I was happy that I was able to enjoy the Chocolate Crack without feeling bloated and over full. The food was so satisfying. I am happy we chose to dine here and would come again! The service was prompt and our waitress (I think her name was Gwen) was super friendly, engaging but not overly hovering which was pleasant. Having your menu have various ciders also made me super happy since I am not a beer person and cider is right up my alley. Even having the Cranberry Down East was a huge treat for me! Thank you for making my cheat day worthwhile!
(4)Eric C.
Harry's will quickly become one of my go to favorite places in Providence. Note before coming that they specialize in sliders here and so that means that your burgers are smaller in size. Regardless though you will leave here feeling content and full. I have come to learn that there are in fact two locations now with the original on North main Street and the newly opened restaurant in Federal Hill. These locations are like pub/bar style with the intent that you are staying here for more than just beer. They have a short selection of appetizers that you can choose from including chili fries which are... oops a little on the salty side. -1 star for that. The burgers on the other hand deserve the 5 star treatment. We opted for the MOAB (Mother of all burgers... which is exactly what it is), the crunchy burger and the fungus among us. All great and unique in their own ways and all savory and succulent with their juices pouring over the sides of the bun. Each order comes with 2 sliders unless you add a third and all burgers are half off between 3-5pm. Beat the crowd and get twice the burgers! They also supposedly have great shakes but I didn't see anything on the menu... maybe it's a secret item. We topped everything off with an ice cream sandwich in the end which was perfectly soft, sweet and cold at the same time. For two people, 6 burgers, fries and 2 ice cream sandwiches we made it out of here for a total of $40. Not too shabby and that wasn't even during the 1/2 off price! (it better not have been...). Great quick service. Even though we had to wait it was only for 10 min. Park on the street (it's wickedly stupid trying to find parking around here.
(4)Holly E.
Consistent, delicious food. My boyfriend and I order two different kinds of sliders because we can never decide what to get. MOAB and Pulled Pork sliders always win, of course. There is also a huge selection of unique beers, mixed drinks, and boozy shakes. Everything is incredible. The only think I don't enjoy is being seated downstairs. I like distance between myself and other people, and in the back room downstairs you're literally sitting RIGHT next to the people next to you. Personally, I'm not a fan. I'll ask to be seated upstairs from now on, if possible. Overall: love, love, love Harry's. Every time.
(4)Laurie B.
I love eating here! It's inexpensive and delicious. I always get the Jumbo Bacon Cheddar Dog. My boyfriend gets sliders. He's tried the Bacon Cheeseburger, MOAB, and Harry's Meltdown. He said they are all delicious. I definitely recommend the haystack onions which comes with chipotle ketchup, which has a touch of heat to it! As well as the sweet potato fries which come with a kryptonite aioli. The fries were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. The aioli was delicious, couldn't tell you what the flavor is exactly, but I want more!
(5)Miryam Y.
One of my favorite places in Rhode Island. Their burgers and sliders are perfect-- as are their cheese fries. Good place to go for a casual dining experience. I love their beers and cocktails. Watch out for the Blood Murder from Hell drink--spiciest drink I've EVER had! Will be coming back here multiple times :)
(4)Jeannine V.
Loved the beer, burgers, and service! Our server, Kelly, was very informative and fun. Try the fungus among us burger-yum! KCCO
(5)Cameron R.
The boyfriend and I were meeting some friends who live in Providence, so they recommended Harry's. We arrived at 6, and were surprisingly able to get a table for 4 immediately. They have a nice (but small) craft beer selection to accompany the tasty sliders. That's right - sliders! Sliders are always a gamble for me, because it runs the risk of not being enough food, honestly. This, however, was not the case. I decided to play it simple and go for the Crunch Burgers, just a classic cheeseburger slider with fried onions. For a side, I saw some pictures on here of the sweet potato fries, so I went with those. I was really, really impressed! The burgers were perfectly cooked, not dry, and nicely portioned! 2 sliders and the sweet potato fries were a perfect amount of food for me, and left me feeling full without feeling like I'm bursting at the seams! The sweet potato fries with their green aioli were phenomenal. Everything was fresh and delicious! The venue itself is small, and filled up quickly. It definitely has the college feel, which makes sense seeing that it's located pretty much down the hill from Brown. Overall, though, we were incredibly impressed. Harry's is a great place for a cheap but tasty meal.
(4)Sohini R.
Harry's is my favorite spot in the Chow Fun group - those little sliders are perfect and tasty. Nowadays I'm cutting back on meat and so really appreciate the black bean deliciousness Harry's offers. Also, the kryptonite aioli that comes with the sweet potato fries is dangerously tasty and different. I usually get takeout from Harry's as they are a short walk away for me, but it is a fun atmosphere and I look forward to the summers when their big cow is outside.
(4)Little B.
Finally I got a seat at this place to discover it's just an average burger joint. Sure they have a wide variety of beer on tap, but so does everyone these days. A fresh burger is also easy to come by. I wasn't in love with the Cosco potato roll as the bun. This place is not worth the long line out the door, which is most likely the result of slow service. Yes- my sliders were good and my IPA was fresh, which is why I rate this at least a 2/5. I recommend to skip the wait and try one of the many delicious restaurants in PVD.
(2)Lukas H.
My friends and I ended up here by accident one night, and what a happy accident it was. In search of a late-night dessert, we were aiming for XO cafe, but upon arrival they informed us that the kitchen was closed and we should try next door, particularly "chocolate crack if nothing else. " Chocolate crack? With a name like that, how could we resist? Ended up splitting all three of their desserts, and each of us walked with a different favorite. Personally, while everything was delightful, the Irish car bomb brownies really captured my heart. Fudgy brownies, swimming in a warm and ever so slightly boozy sauce. To. Die. For. There's no going wrong with their desserts, and the atmosphere is awesome also. Lots of decoration for conversation starters. Can't wait to go back and try some of their other fare. P.S. if you get all three like we did, try dipping the crack and/or cookie sammich into the brownie sauce. Heaven~
(5)Katy N.
Delicious burgers! This was a yelp find - I got the crunch burger and was extremely happy. We got the side of fries to share and those were kind of bland - basic fries. But honestly the burgers were filling on their own and really good! service was also excellent and the beers on tap were unique. I'll be back to try the milkshakes!
(4)Asia T.
Came to this spot on a weeknight in search of some good food, and my Aunt and I were very well pleased! Cute and cozy environment, service was great. We received our food and drinks rather quickly and may I say the food was excellent? Try them, you'll definitely enjoy!
(5)Maryclare K.
This small burger joint packs a punch. We ordered the nachos. Don't let presentation fool you- they are delicious! We ordered burgers ( they come as two slider) which didn't disappoint and the salt and pepper fries were crunchy and fresh. They also had a great beer selection. It was close by to our hotel so we could easily walk to the restaurant and then walk around the area after.
(4)Renée G.
This place has pretty good food and is in a great location (near College Hill). Their actual building is kind of odd...interesting, but probably not best for a restaurant. We sat at the bar. The bartender/waitress could have been a bit more attentive, but the food was good enough that we didn't mind. I would recommend it if you're in the area.
(4)Kelly S.
After painting (and let's be honest, drinking, too) next door at Muse, my friend and I decided we needed food, stat. She suggested Harry's- her words included something about burgers, beer, and delicious. So, we went. :-) A very small restaurant, including a bar as you enter and a small room behind that. It's wasn't too crowded at 9 p.m. on a Monday, but it filled up! We sat at the bar, and were attended to quickly. We could see our burgers being prepared as we drank our beverages, and they were soon in front of us. Wow. Sooooo good. I had a hard time deciding what to order, everything sounded delicious- and it was. I cannot wait to go back and try more of the menu!!
(4)Kisha T.
This place, man. Always delicious and always so affordable. I was lucky enough to go to Harry's when it first opened a few years ago and it was just as delicious back then as it is today. When ANYONE comes to visit me in Providence, there are 3-5 places that I always have to take them and Harry's is a permanent stop on that list. In my college days, I'd go with the MOAB (Mother of All Burgers) - this thing literally has everything on it and it is freakin' delicious. Nowadays, my go-to is the Fungus Amongus. Simple and yummy. Their chili cheese fries with jalapeños are definitely a necessary staple to the meal. The fries are always freshly made and the chili is the right balance between hearty and flavorful. Btw, the beer selections are always surprising too. I tries a Game of Thrones beer just this week and it was yum! Overall, this place has got to be one of the best burger places in Rhode Island and if you come to Providence without stopping by, well, shame on you.
(5)Kyle S.
Burgers and beer...a match made in heaven. When I'm in need of satisfying my burger (more specifically slider) craving, Harry's is the spot that I know won't let me down. Yes the place is tiny and there can be a lengthy wait sometimes, but in my estimation it is definitely worth it. While there is no bad time to go to Harry's, your best bet is to head over from 3 to 5 for their happy hour (half priced burgers!). Mother of All Burgers, the bacon cheeseburger and the sloppy chili burger are all personal favorites, and you need to make sure to ask for some of the special sauce on the side...it's addictingly good to dip the regular or sweet potato fries in. Besides the delicious food they also have a great craft beer selection. Only 4 draft beers but plenty of can and bottle options. I've always found the service to be adequate and the food seems to come out in a decent timeframe. If you are looking for some tasty sliders and a cold beer to wash them down, then you should make your way to Harry's.
(4)Tish B.
If your looking for a good slider this is your place- Harry's Burgers ( harrysbarburger.com/menu ) Harry's offers a variety of Burgers and specialty drinks. Great Prices! Even better if you go from 2-5 for half price burgers. They also offer footlong dogs ! Great TGIF Happy Hour Location! hisandhersreviewspot.tum…
(4)Ward W.
It was just ok. The service was meh Friendly and so not fast . Not many People last night but took 40 minutes to get three orders. Fountain soft drink was nasty .. Burgers were ok. Rolls were fresh Quaint place .. Love the TV in the rest room. Not as big as all the hype
(3)Mike Y.
I dont know what all the rave is about. Maybe people are just hearing about sliders for the first time and they go to harrys and see these adorable minis. Well folks, just because something seems cool and is trending does it make it good. Ive had many burgers in my life and for all the hype about this place i think the burgers are just average. Their good but not as great as people say. Harrys is a fun place but i just dont think it lives up to its potential.
(2)Tabitha A.
Burgers were incredible but the service just made the whole experience horrible. The wait staff took forever to take our order and never came to check on us until we were done with our meal and had no water for quite awhile. Food was off the charts but they need way better waitstaff

Maybe it was the heavy rotation of Tribe Called Quest, with a dose of CL Smooth and Luniz thrown in. Might have been the thick, savory sauces in evidence again. Could have been the quality portions returning. Possible the full flavors at the fore. Mighta been the Southern Tier Pumking on tap. But regardless, Harry's seems to have returned to its strengths, and their core competencies make the place enjoyable and repeatable again. I'm pleased, and I suspect you will be too. I know my kids are, and so are my friends. That's a pretty fair sample of quality enjoyment. Come on back now, ya hear?

Man, I have loved Harry's ever since it opened, and I've been back countless times for all sorts of occasions -- low-key lunches to boozy happy hours to casual celebrations. Harry's is great for big groups or solo diners, though I will say, you probably shouldn't bother coming here if you're not a beef eater. The sliders are really the whole point of Harry's (though the beer/booze selection is also solid). They have boozy milkshakes, which I have not personally tried but have been told are delicious, and a pretty good short list of cocktails (including, surprisingly, a pretty good Sazerac -- not typical for a casual burger bar). My favorite thing to order is the MOAB (mother of all burgers, which has terrific toppings) and the sweet potato fries, which come with an amazing jalapeno aioli. The onion strings and regular fries are also pretty good, but I'm a sweet potato fry fiend so I have to get them. The sliders are the perfect thickness, with a good crust and juiciness. They use some good sweet buns, too, and the sliders are composed with a good balance of ingredients. I've tried all the desserts, and I really like the crack. I like to come for the happy hour, 3-5PM, when burgers are half price. There's an upstairs dining area if you're with a larger group. The decor is casual with some quirk -- I really find the bathroom decor pretty fun. I've found the service generally fast and attentive, though servers can seem a little harried during rush times. Any time that I've had a problem with my order (incorrect ingredients or a hair in my food... I forgive them), it's been corrected with grace. It's also on the way to the train station if you're coming from College Hill, and they're fas -- a great place to stop before catching a train.

Finally got to eat here after hearing about it for so many years. Staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful. Food was unbelievable. Burgers are served as sliders. The order comes with two sliders Their "mother of all burgers" is their staple. I had the pastrami cheese burger and it was above my expectations. Highly recommended.
(5)Goldie H.
F U N G U S A M O N G U S YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I mean, come on. Sliders with truffle oil? COME ON!!! P.S. Happy Hour half priced sliders is totally worth it.
(5)Kevin S.
Outstanding sliders! Went on a weekday at lunchtime and the place wasn't very busy. Wait staff very attentive and helpful. Burgers, fries, chili were all delicious and the free refills on sodas and iced tea was a nice extra. Highly recommend!
(5)Christina V.
Two delicious little sliders cooked to perfection... That is what brought Harry's rating up to 4 stars for me. The fries were delicious too. And if you happen to make it there between 3-5 their half off special can't be beat! That said, the place is TINY. When something is burnt is smoking - you will know it. Some staff is super friendly is wonderful, and some is, well, they make your visit almost uncomfortable. The wait for food was long, and if we hadn't snagged a seat at the bar the wait for a table - or having a place to stand to wait for a table - I can't even imagine! The bartender kept serving a belligerent guy sitting next to us, who was getting kind of sloppy and we weren't sure what to do... BUT. The burgers were amazing! For that, on a slow day, if there is one, I would return.
(3)Katie B.
Oh wow I love this place. My boyfriend and I wanted a late afternoon (too early for 'dinner') meal and some good drinks. Enter Harry's. It was busy when we got there - we had to wait for a table - but we grabbed a drink and hung out. The set-up of the restaurant could be off-putting to some. It's an old home that's been converted, so space is a premium for sure and the bar area felt a little cramped. We sat downstairs, so I can't speak to the upstairs, but once we were at our table we didn't notice the cramped quarters. The ambiance in general was great - a little noisy but relaxed. The service was good; not amazing, but not disappointing either. The food, however, was incredible. My bf got the wings to start, and I got an order of onion strings. Both were delicious. My main course was an order of Harry's Meltdown, and they were fab too. I finished my meal off with a Twinkie Caramel hard shake, and I was in heaven. I should mention that I did not realize Harry's serves sliders and not full size burgers. That was a most welcome surprise, because who doesn't love sliders? But I could see a patron being miffed if they weren't in the mood for a slider (or two or three). We'll be back for sure for a laid-back date night, and this will undoubtedly be a favorite place to bring out-of-town guests.
(4)Melissa M.
I've been to Harry's several times now and each time the service has been excellent. they offer every type of burger you could imagine and they have large beer selection. parking can be really tricky, but its easily accessible by foot. if your a meat eater go check them out.
(5)Dominic W.
I am a regular at Harry's and I'm usually very satisfied after the meal! The service is friendly, food comes relatively quickly, and the sliders are delicious. The secret sauce is great on each burger - I e pretty much tried all of them and loved it. The burger is usually juicy, the bun is soft and chewy, secret sauce!!! Unfortunately this visit, the patty was much drier. Not sure why, but I was a little disappointed. Perhaps it was overcooked, not as fresh, or had a different supplier?
(4)Vina C.
I want to start off with, dear Harry's Owner guy.... I really miss the Blueberry Pancake Milkshake. Anyways, I love everything here. I've had all of the burgers at least once and it's always delicious ! I always go with the Onion Strings, with extra sauce, MOAB (only two) and a Blue Berry Pancake Milkshake. It always surprises me how I only need two to be full. Keep it up.
(5)Shaun L.
My wife and I finally ate here back in January and were very happy with the food. I ordered Harry's Classic with Cheese w/ double meat. The sliders came out quick and were delicious. With the first bite, the fresh burger gave you that seared outside but juicy inside that you want on a burger. The burgers are amazing, the beer selection is great if you enjoy local crafts, but everything else was standard. The wings were good but basic wings, the salt and pepper fries were just.... fries. My wife also ordered some brownie thing to finish off the meal. I was not too fond of it. I didn't enjoy the liqueur on it nor was the brownie even tasty. Overall great spot to grab some beer and burgers in Providence.
(4)Angela I.
Burgers and I have never gotten along. They're big, the meat gets stuck in my teeth to a point where I feel primal, and they usually come with my least favourite cheese of all time - American. Harry's solves all of my burger dilemmas because they only make sliders. WIN for tiny foods! You wanted a burger? Sliders. Cheeseburger? Sliders with cheese. You thought ordered a chicken sandwich? Chicken. Sandwich. Sliders. Compared to burgers, the sliders are infinitely easier to eat, letting me maintain a facade of being a dainty carnivore. I usually order three, thinking I'm full around two and forcing the third one down until I'm stuffed because they are so tender and tasty. Now, if you've been to Harry's, you're probably thinking, "Yo, those sliders DO come with American cheese, though." And that is true (no cheese substitutions is probably my only complaint). But with amazing combinations like Fungus Among Us, where I can get my burger bedazzled with portobello mushrooms and truffle aioli, I can hardly taste the cheese, so it's no big. The sliders are best washed down with a chocolate shake, which you can booze up (the Ultimate Mudslide, which comes with Kahlua, Bailey's, and vanilla vodka, is my fave). The Madaket Mule, a variation of the Moscow Mule which Harry's does the right way (in a copper mug - heads up, you've got to give your ID as collateral!), is also a solid choice. The microbrews served up here are pretty decent, though I notice they tend to be IPAs. Fries aren't included with the sliders, but they're relatively inexpensive ($2.25 for the regular salt-and-pepper; shell out an extra buck and you can get sweet potato instead) and there are enough that you can usually split them with a friend. If you really want to renew your love for burgers, or if you're like me and you've been searching all over Providence to find a decent one, come for Happy Hour - sliders are half price from 3-5, seven days a week.
(5)Olivia P.
WOW. I eat vegan. I got the bean veggie burger which is amazing and the sweet potato fries. Everything is really fucking yummy and it just doesn't get better. I can't stop eating Harry's burgers. Oh my god. Favorite ever. These burgers are addictive. Beware.
(5)Elena M.
I was so excited to FINALLY try Harry's with my boyfriend the other night, and am saddened to say that I wasn't a huge fan. First, the entryway space is very narrow and I was face-to-face with the tray of a server who was rushing down the stairs as I entered the restaurant. We had a short wait time which was great. We placed our order and waited an average length of time for our meals to arrive. After we decided to add a second order of fries once we were already eating, I immediately regretted it. The server took a solid 15 minutes to bring us a second plate of fries! I totally understand the kitchen may get backed up sometimes, but at 5:30 on a Monday night? Finally, we received our bill. The hostess/our server were clearing the table next to ours while our paid check was sitting readily on the edge of our table. They cleared the entire table and walked around a bit before coming back to grab our money. I was really underwhelmed by this. All in all, the food is very good but the service needs some attention.
(3)Eralyn S.
Simply the best burger joint in Providence, RI!!! Theresa, our server was very friendly. We've tried their popular M.O.A.B. (Mother Of All Burgers) and the Turkey Burger but sweet potato fries with Kryptonite aioli is the bomb! With the cozy ambiance on top of the good food, it surely was quite worth stopping by to get a grub.
(5)Don S.
Been a fan of Harry's for a long time. One of the only places I can think of that has Butternuts Porkslap Pale Ale. Of course however, I go for the sliders which are really great.. and the chili cheese fries are pretty darn good too. The place is really small and I have seen a dip in service as of late, but I'm hoping it's just new staff or the like.
(4)Missy N.
Harry's happy hour is what I look forward to on Tuesday nights with friends. Everyday 3 to 5 burgers are 1/2 off as well as drinks! What is better than that?! The food is incredible and the service is superb.
(5)Colby Z.
You know that feeling when you eat an incredibly satisfying burger - like one of those ones that's fresh and juicy and melty and the tastiness just glides down your throat and you don't even take it out of your hand because it's also a bit messy but it is SO worth it because it's amazeballs so you eat the whole thing without putting it down and then it's all gone cuz you've eaten it all and you're like "HEY I'M SO SAD NOW!"??? Well, that doesn't happen at Harry's because you have TWO OF THEM! Harry's is my favorite burger place of all time. Period. The sliders are a perfect size and have always been cooked perfectly in my experience - juicy on the inside and a tad bit crispy on the outside. I can eat the two sliders without feeling like an overfull sloth who can no longer fit in my pants. My go-to is the crunch burger (I have a weakness for onion straws), but have tried others and they are all equally as delicious. Buns are always fluffy, produce is always fresh. The level of grease is always perfect. The prices, also, can't be beat. I try my best to go between 3pm-5pm when the burgers are half price, but will gladly pay full price for food this good. Be forewarned, the beer is where they get ya! They always have an eclectic mix on tap that can be tempting, but I advise splurging on the spiked ice cream instead. I can't think of a more fulfilling meal than a succulent burger (or two!), ice cream and booze. Boom! Day = made.
(5)Marietta M.
A group of us dined here Monday night and it was a fun time.burgers were delicious and service was great.we were not rushed. We will be back.
(5)Van O.
One of my favorite places to grab a burger and beer. It can get really crowded so seating is limited. I recommend getting the "Fungus Among us" burger with sloppy fries (loaded chili cheese fries). My drink is the "Old Speckle" brown ale as it's smooth going down the hatch. Plenty of beer options on tap so don't be shy to ask the bartender for a sample ;)
(5)Katalyst S.
I really like this place. I've come a couple of times now. I just like the vibe I think. Once when I came it was super cold and rainy outside so it felt great to sit a floor above street level and watch the people milling about outside. The happy hour is excellent because you can get cheap sliders and good beer. I just like knowing this place is here, honestly. Also, the service is always great :D
(4)Chintan M.
Very nice sliders, especially if you get them at their happy hour price!! Btw, don't get their fried onion as a side...these onions are good on your burger, but that's it!!
(4)Bob S.
A little dive in the middle of high end places. Best sweet potato fries I have ever had. Great sliders.
(5)Jax A.
I love this place and can always fit another burger. Fries and beer. You don't need to get wordy with it.
(5)Brian A.
You know that fast food burger you got that one time that was totally delicious and satisfying, but it was from Wendy's or McDonald's or something so you didn't talk about it? Harry's is that burger, except the ingredients are better, they have cold beer and sweet potato fries to go with it, and there's no regret. The M.O.A.B is a solid burger. Go between 3-5PM, get it for half-price (and pound a few cold beers with it) and it's even more solid. I definitely recommend adding some sweet potato fries onto your order. Coming from a man whose favorite food group is cheeseburgers (yes, that is a food group), this is worth your time and money. Super friendly staff, killer food, cold beer, and a nice mix of blues/rock for background music make this a must-go place.
(5)Rob S.
I been here 3 times and haven't been disappointed yet. Great place to try if your walking the streets of Providence.
(4)Tina P.
Tiny location so we sat at the bar. Our bartender was very cool and had a great drink selection. I love sliders but my boyfriend isn't a huge fan so he was more skeptical...Everything we ordered was delicious and we will definitely be back!
(4)Kevin M.
Who doesn't love a place with a great burger? no one I want to know. These great little burgers with all their unique flavor and soft little buns are fantastic. I have only tried a few kinds but all have been great. Get the sweet potato fries with the kryptonite sauce; its fantastic. they have two locations in providence and both are great to go hang out and have a couple drinks. They usually have some decent craft Brews on tap.
(4)Kristine T.
What stood out for me was the awesome beer selection and fun atmosphere. I got to try some really interesting beers and the waiter was very knowledgeable about them. Be warned: this place is tiny! And the sliders are pretty small too, and they don't come with fries. But they're still good!
(4)Molly F.
We were only in Providence for one night, and ventured here based on some Googling. The place is pretty cute inside, small, but they have a lot of beer options and the waiter was quick to recommend some. However, we placed our order, a cheeseburger and a bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. And proceeded to watch 2 other couples sit down, get their food, pay their bill AND LEAVE while we waited for our food. At that point I was mostly just curious. We watched a new table of five get their food. We ordered another round of drinks. Then our waiter asked us for our order again, said our ticket had been lost, and it would be right up. We STILL waited for quite awhile after this. Slightly longer than the average table was waiting after ordering for the first time. We watched the table of five get a second round of food delivered. We finally got ours. Their burgers come as 2 sliders. They were tasty, like classed up White Castle burgers. The fries were average. I was interested in dessert but at this point we had been waiting an hour to get burgers, and our waiter had suddenly disappeared so I couldn't order anyway. We had a race to run the next day so when we finally saw him, we asked for the bill instead. Nothing at all was comped on the bill. Now I wasn't angling for something free. I would have been just as satisfied if our burgers were truly done on the fly, like next out of the kitchen - but everyone in the room has a view of the window - and they weren't. Or perhaps a visit from a manager to apologize. Our waiter barely said anything to us after we finally got our food. I used to be a waitress and simply could not fathom how this was being handled. I'm sure this was a fluke, but at the same time, this is NOT how you deal with a mistake. We only got one meal in Providence and were seriously let down by Harry's.
(2)Bob C.
Good food, great prices(half price sliders from 3-5 every day) and great service. Nice beer selection! Tried two or the three Bloody Mary's.
(4)Barbara P.
Stopped by with a couple of friends after painting next door on a Thursday night. Not sure if it was the cold keeping people away, but we were able to be seated immediately around 9pm (when we left around 11 it was full...the place is NOT large so it didn't take much). Our waitress was fantastic, super friendly and she found a spot to store our not-yet-dry paintings while we ate. I had the veggie burger sliders and sweet potato fries. Both were great, not greasy at all and just the right portion sizes. I had read earlier reviews about the kryptonite aioli and was expecting to be wowed, but it was just ok. The fries were perfect all by themselves. I also got the ice cream sandwich for dessert...now, normally I scoff when a waiter/waitress asks if I want to share my dessert, but this time I should have listened, it was HUGE! I would guess at least three inches thick of ice cream on two palm-sized chocolate chip cookies. I ALMOST didn't finish it. My dining companion tried the much raved about chocolate crack, but wasn't a huge fan. Again, sometimes it's better to go in without expectations. My one complaint would be they were out of the first beer on the menu I ordered, but there were plenty of other choices so it wasn't a huge deal. All in all, a place I definitely would go again.
(4)Jeff B.
The burgers and the service are tremendous. I've eaten here a whole lot of times and have never been disapppointed. Sweet potatoe fries with the aioli are a can't miss. Great bloody mary's with three different flavors. The beers are always rotating except for some reason they manage to keep speckled hen on tap which is usually never something I would drink beer wise. Service is always friendly. Only downfall is bathroom is close to seats which "stinks" if you have no choice but to sit there.
(5)Karen G.
Love this place. They only serve sliders, but they are oh so delicious!! Good beer and drink selection. Good happy hour as well.
(5)Lisa S.
Delicious little sliders! Two sliders come to an order, but you can order three if you want. Very cute little place. Cheese fries were just so-so, but I won't hold it against this place. We ate up at the bar and the bartender was very attentive and friendly. We would definitely return!
(4)Steve V.
Nice spot for a quick inexpensive bite to eat in downtown Providence. The portions are small (every burger is slider size) but the food is delicious. Best seating is upstairs. Can be quite loud and when busy, it takes a while to be served but it's not too bad overall. I will be back there again.
(3)Sue B.
I went to Harry's when it first opened and I wasn't a fan but I really wanted to give it a try again and I did... well, I changed my mind, very good sliders, let me correct this... awesome turkey sliders and love the sweet potatoes fries... also, the half-off between 3 and 5 was such a great deal
(4)Danae K.
I've been coming to this place for 4 years. I always get their sliders (mother of all burgers is mouth watering) with fries and the bourbon infused milkshake. I have never had a bad experience here, and I come very frequently!
(5)Amanda C.
If you have a gluten allergy or your looking for a server to kiss your a**, this isn't the place for you. If you are looking for an awesome burger it is. Yummy sliders and Nas and The pharcyde on the radio hell yes.
(4)Michelle A.
Was only in town for only a couple hours and we saw this place on yelp so we decided to stop by, and boy are we glad we did! Such a comfortable environment, great selection of beer, awesome service, and most importantly the most TASTIEST burgers!!! Would definitely come here again! Make sure you get the sweet patato fries with their special green sauce, SO good!
(5)Meelynna L.
Best sliders you will find! When we first came here, we didn't realize that the burgers were sliders until we opened the menu. The MOAB is my go to and my bf loves the pulled pork on top of the slider! We love sweet potato fries and theirs are fantastic! We can never go wrong when we go to Harry's!
(5)Yumiko M.
Walking up to the place it was great!! The ambiance inside matched the outside as well. At first, everyone was warm and welcoming and it seemed like a good spot to have some lunch. Our boys were with us and I was a little skeptical about having them in a beer and burger joint, but at that time of day, it was perfectly fine - it was just your average crowd enjoying a burger and some of them had a breweski. The only downfall to the ambiance is that in the area we were sitting in, there were only high-top tables and if you're vertically challenged as I am, it was a little difficult to climb into the chairs.. The menu was short and sweet and all the burgers were served as sliders. The choices all seemed delicious and it took us a while to decide what we wanted. Everything was fine up to this point. Then our server took our order and everything changed... My son wanted a hot dog with bacon and tomatoes (I don't know where he got it from), which the server said was fine, but when it came, it had onions!! My son looked at me as if it were my fault and wouldn't say a word, he would only look at me then his hot dog and back again. When I told the server he says, "Oh! I thought you said onions! We don't have tomatoes here!! I''m sorry about that, I'll have them fix it for you!" Easy enough save and he was happy after that. We ordered our appetizer of wings with the boys food. When our wings came, they were good, but I think I'm attributing it to the fact that we were ravenous and had just finished driving from New Jersey. When my boyfriend and I got our food, I was happy but he wasn't. I ordered something along the lines called a crunch burger or something to that effect. Basically, it was a cheeseburger slider with crunchy onion strings on it - LOVED IT!! My boyfriend however, was supposed to get a double wide with NO onions which consisted of a double patty but instead got something they called a "moat" - not only does it sound completely different, but it has completely different ingredients on it too. This slider had mushrooms and crispy onions on it and all of it came with his order. If it wouldn't have taken forever and a million years for the server to come back and check on us, he wouldn't have eaten it, but as I said before, we were really hungry from the drive. When the server came around and asked how we were doing, finally, we asked him about the sliders and he said everything with a smile but aloof at the same time - weird, I know..When the check came, he still charged for the error and said that he could have changed had he known earlier, but he could offer a dessert instead. All we really wanted to do was get out of there. So, all in all, the food was good, but the service killed it. The prices for everything was pretty decent too. apparently they were having half off the burgers from 1500 to 1700 I believe, which worked in their favor, but not too much.
(2)John D.
Been here many times. Can not beat the half off burgers 3-5 weekdays. the best burgers (in my opinion): pig pile, crunch burger, double wide. also i've gone with people who have enjoyed the turkey burger. Harry's updates the draft beer menu fairly often and has plenty of drink options. Also, i strongly recommend the regular fries.
(5)Michael J.
I've spent way too much money at this place because I love their fungus burgers, MOAB burgers, half price burger happy hour, beer selection, awesome staff, and chili fries. The alcoholic shakes are a good idea, but honestly not that great. The brownie bites are dry and not too good both times I've tasted them. Stick with the burgers here and go to Luxe as well cause they're the same owners and have great burgers also. I don't like that it's always cold in there. On the hottest, most humid summer days it's great to go in there and cool off but generally they're pumping the AC even if they don't need to. And in the winter, it's really drafty so it never really stays warm. Everything else makes up for it.
(4)Kevin M.
I've never had such an amazing burger experience. From the great service to the mouth watering burgers, I can say I love Harry! Their prices are great and love the location!!
(5)Charlene F.
Ok I'm updating my review (better score) these little tasty sliders are pretty damn delicious! Skip the fries they're like shoestring frozen bagged & disgusting (and I'm not a picky fries person). Tried the hot dog with cheese & bacon today and did not like it at all. The hotdog tasted weird...if u like spikes u probably won't like this one cuz it doesn't compare. I will only eat spikes hotdogs (& maybe the occasional five guys hot dog). But the score is the burger sliders... If u like five guys burgers u will like Harry's. Next time I'm skipping fries and hot dog and double order of sliders!
(4)Yana R.
The burgers were really nothing special. They were actually super thin, and just not ...meaty enough. But I guess that's what i should have expected for the price. The sweet potato fries though were amazingly crispy and came with the best sauce. I have to say they were the best sweet potato fries I have every had. That's the main reason this place still gets three stars. The onion strings were good and super addicting, but I typically like the thicker onion rings with thicker batter. Probably not coming back because I like a nice meaty burger where the meat itself is the experience.
(3)Brian G.
Gotta love sliders and cider. 2 double burger sliders and a salty fries with a strange cider = terrific and will keep me going through dinner.
(4)Jake R.
I don't even know where to begin the burgers are to die for!!!!! I recommend the M.O.A.B. Burger!!!!! Staff is friendly fast and the food is always consistent. If you like beer just like I do order "DAS BOOT" and let them choose the beer for you! Defiantly recommend as my number one burger place in providence.
(5)Steve P.
Awesome burgers. Moved here from Cali where they have hamburgerstands on every corner. Came to providence and had multiple really bad experiences. The sliders and drinks are really good here. Definitely a repeater.
(5)James P.
Cool bar to have an excellent slider and beer. Good selection of craft beers and friendly service. Price is reasonable, can't beat it.
(4)Xiao Z.
Certainly a cute little bar/burger/slider joint that I would have driven by multiple times without my friend's recommendation. The wait, unlike what I read, wasn't really all that bad if you come at 2pm, and it's important since all burgers are half off between 3-5pm! I tried the chicken BLT and the beef pastrami burgers, both were surprisingly juicy, served warm on a pair of potato bread buns. The serving (in terms of price) was smaller than what I had hoped for the price, but the quality was definitely well worth the journey. I recommend trying out the sweet potato fries with their special green sauce! I can only imagine how quickly your wallet can go on a diet when you come here at night after a couple of beers in you! Maybe I'll try that next time. Food: 4 stars Price: 3 stars Service: 3 stars
(4)Robert S.
Excellent sliders, sandwiches and brownies. The staff is prompt and the kitchen delivers food in just minutes. It is a well run establishment. I had the Meltdown Slider....beef burger, caramelized onions and melted cheese....Yum!!! The order comes with two delicious sliders. Fries need to be ordered separate. You can choose from downstairs or upstairs (which has larger tables). The selection of beer and cocktails are excellent and....the cocktails are very good. Some places have watered down drinks or mixes that just don't taste good. Harry's delivers. Check it out. Rated by some as the best burger joint in Providence.
(5)Miya B.
The Burgers come in slider form and they are delicious. I LOVE the Fungus Burgers. The Chocolate crack is also fantastic and worth trying.
(5)Julia M.
First things first, this little joint is one of the best burger places around. The little burgers are always juicy, tasty, and a great size without making a huge mess! I'm a huge fan of the M.O.A.B. It is topped with mini fried onion strings which adds the perfect amount of flavor to this little sliders. You also get the option of salt & pepper or tangy sweet potato fries. Both are great options if you're into sweet potatoes. The atmosphere is kind of a cozy & rad setup. Service is good. Overall I give Harry's a four stars out of five definitely a must try burger restaurant! happy eating
(4)Josh W.
When the world is falling apart When my heart is broken When the zombies are running rampant When I'm with friends or enemies alike When I'm in jury duty and the gun is in my mouth... Harry's Saves Me Every Single Time. And here it is: Sliders: M.O.A.B (Mother of All Burgers) Fries: Chili& Cheese Drink: Ultimate Mudslide And then all is right with the world.
(5)Danielle C.
Idk what to say except that I love this place!! Bacon bloody Mary's and pulled pork burgers!? YES! And the onion strings are awesome! Awesome beer selection and wine selection! The servers are friendly and sweet and this place is just a cool place to be.. I also really like their bathroom.
(5)Nate D.
I love the sliders here, I know nobody who has regretted getting them. I really love that they let you buy the burgers without having to pay for the sides too. Getting good burgers without having to pay for sides is fantastic! The atmosphere is nice and mellow, and the servers have been friendly for to me, at least. And of course what helps keep this place above the competition is its consistent good beer selection. I do miss the tabletop shuffleboard, but their reason is well justified - they said it was to make room for additional kegs (good enough for me).
(5)Jep G.
good sliders. not overcooked, not too heavy. nice atmosphere. long list of bottled beers. on tap selection could be improved. will be back
(4)Brian G.
Great service, good prices and the best slider/burger I've ever had.
(5)Kira P.
No crap beers but not a huge selection on draft. Bottle selection is good. Sliders are good small bar area even smaller TV. I was one of 4 people at the 6 person bar. 1 of the people was an employee and I had to call for the waitress to order. Service isn't great. I'll try Federal Hill location next time.

Quick fix sliders with some good little fries hits the spot at Harry's. The space is definitely more divey, with a great bar as you walk in. I usually only come here for lunch, so I can't comment on the beer selection. The crowd is pretty student heavy, with a handful of hipsters and business people thrown in. The tables downstairs are a bit awkward to sit at if you are close to 5 feet, but the food generally comes quickly enough. Good service, tasty food. Try the MOAB for a good crunch with your slider.

Cool vibe...Great beer selection and burgers, salt and pepper fries were good. The buffalo wings were also excellent. Portions were good - not huge but in line with the reasonable prices. Our server was friendly and helpful.

You can say a lot about Harry's Burgers and Bar. This is Bar food on steroids! All burgers are two sliders at a time and all priced at about five bucks... You also have hot dog choices and of course desserts. They always have local beers on tap and a lot of times they have a room temperature keg which is an Amazing to have. The ambience is awesome with old beer taps all around the windows a small dinning area on the main floor with more dinning upstairs. If you have a chance to use the restroom you will find yourself watching a always streaming movie at the time of my bathroom experience DodgeBall was on! If you decide that you need dessert make sure you get the chocolate crack! I won't spoil what's in it but don't forget it

I've been wanting to try this place for quite awhile, finally I went there this afternoon with a high expectations; after sitting outside for about 10 to 15 min with no service; I decided to go inside to get service myself only to be told that we have to wait another 20 minutes with no explanations why!!!!!???At this point we just left with a great disappointment.

Harry's is absolutely wonderful! I tend to make my way to Harry's during their special when Burgers are half price! Which I believe is from 3-6 pm... Their delectable sliders with a nice variety to choose from and the atmosphere is not your common every day spot! You can chalk up the entire joint and have a HUGE selection of beers to choose from as well :)
(5)Philip E.
Excited to visit in Downtown Providence, very good attentive and knowledgable waitress service. The beer menu is extensive with both tap and bottled beer, half pints available also. Classic cheese sliders were good, chili fries just ok. Will come back again.
(3)Katie S.
We had pretty terrible service, but the food was AMAZING and somewhat made up for it. I got the turkey burgers, which were SO unusual and delicious. The sweet potato fries were also great. We shared the chocolate brownie shake, which was fine but nothing all that special. Next time, I'd try a different one.

OMG... New fave late night place to eat. I keep late hours & sometimes it's just nice to have a place to eat & drink. Went to Julian's first but came here bc Julian's was only serving snacks -at 10p Harry's was a MUCH better late night option! What I had: sliders =fungus among us & pig pile. Delicious. I like the diff flavors (all the slider choices r nicely varied in flavor combos) & beef is good quality, well cooked & moist. The pulled pork in pig pile was melt in ur mouth soft & they didn't over sauce it (which is what usually happens w/BBQ). Sweet potato fries w/aioli. Also great although wish it was spicy. Octoberfest beer. The bottled beer selection is great, but wish there was more draft beer selection- only 4-5 beers in tap TIP: Harry's, tens steak & sushi, XO, & ricks roadhouse are part of the same food group. Join the rewards membership thing at any of these restaurants, get points for every dollar & accrue enough points to get free credit at any of them. Not a bad deal since I will def be back to Harry's
(5)Melanie D.
I have two positive things to say! The hostess was very pleasant and accommodating and the food was good. Otherwise we were two very dissatisfied customers. The bartender was very inattentive and actually pretty disgusting as she not only sneezed in her hand and counted money but did not ever wash her hands before reaching for a lime for our drinks which of course we declined. The manager was present as a waitress had asked for and had a drink of alcohol. Another waitress went behind the bar and helped herself to a drink as she poured two samples for customers. We've always enjoyed it but haven't been there for about a year. Things have certainly changed and not for the better! No reason to go back! It was gross!!!!

Really amazing Burgers in a cool atmosphere. Let's face it sliders are very popular, but it's a fad that should be going away because usually people do not know how to cook them. They are generally thin dried-out flavorless bits of meat inside a bun with some gunk on them. Not here. These are delicious bites that are the perfect proportion of meat (which steals the show as it is so moist and succulent) and the various toppings. Nice drink list, and an excellent selection of bottled beer. Only five taps unfortuanately, and a terrible selection. C'mon people, lots of us have tried Pork Slap as it has those two cute pigs belly bumping on the can, but it is a truly vile beer- horrible. And to waste one of your taps on that crap is almost a sin. Overall excellent experieice, and would give it 4.5 stars if possible. Will go back next time I am in the area for sure.
(4)Lisa R.
This is a good place to come for sliders. I have been here a few times. I would like to have more draft beer selections. The burgers are good, they are sliders which is great for portion control. Everyday from 3 - 5 burgers are 1/2 off, which is a good deal. Our service was very good.
(3)Siri U.
Good burgers, TERRIBLE atmosphere. The lighting is awful, the walls are dirty, and the service is shit. I came in one night and one of the servers was wearing her pajamas. She was also super rude.
(2)J H.
What do you guys see in this place? The food clearly is an after thought. Buffalo wings 6 pcs of standard non meaty wings tossed in buffalo sauce and 3 tiny pieces of celery for $7.69. Disappointing to say the least. The burgers are just ok. The fries both the regular and sweet are shitty frozen products. I swear the food is all off the Sysco truck. The chocolate crack. Stale and cold. The server we had was great. The beer list was great. Overall a blah experience will not be back.
(2)Lindsay S.
I've been to Harry's too many times to count, and every time is amazing. Half priced sliders from 3-5 can't be beat! The salt and pepper fries are perfectly seasoned, and the kryptonite sauce for the sweet potato fries is not to be missed. My personal favorites are the pulled pork sliders and the turkey sliders (fantastic spice level here). They have great hard cider, my favorite. Great service (shout out to Bruce). Their hard milkshakes are AMAZING. The chocolate crack isn't shabby either.
(5)Sabrina C.
PROS: Cheap food, fast service and tasty options. Harry's is open late which is a PLUS when you're seeking places to go after a night out in Providence. The ice cream sandwich is Godly and the thai chili bbq makes everything taste better. CONS: I'm not a huge fan of beef, so I often get the Turkey slider. I've dealt with my turkey patty being undercooked a few times. They are great about getting me a new one whenever this happens. Now I am just cautious when ordering and make sure to mention that I want me turkey burger WELL WELL WELL done.
(4)Rogaa S.
Came here for the first time this past Sunday. I've heard of them before but they always slipped my mind, till i was pleasantly surprised by my friends and just taking me here. There is a downstairs and upstairs outdoor seating. its not the biggest of places but it was fine with us. we were seated and greeted right away. the menu is simple and easy to read. doesn't take you 15 minutes to look through it. they're known for their burgers but you have to know they're sliders. you get two per order. the burgers don't come with sides. but before you judge the sliders are like 4 bucks and depending on what kind of fries you get your meal still comes out to around 7-8 bucks or so same price you'd end up paying anyways. but with this you could skip the fries and just chomp on sliders. BTW their hot-dogs are on steroids, my buddy got it and we were all thinking just a regular dog, but no.. those things weight train HEAVY. I got the turkey burger with sweet potato fries. I loved the burgers you can tell they are hand made very flavorful fresh ingredients. The sweet potato fries were awesome, cut in house and hand battered absolutely one of the best I've had and it comes with this Kryptonite Sauce that brought me to my knees and I'm not even from Krypton.. I honestly have no idea whats it in and its green, but its freaken delicious. Superman would eat it regardless if it was killing him. but my absolute favorite thing about the place, they had Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury playing in the bathroom #WINNING
(4)Bryce A.
Easily the best burger place in Providence. As the other reviews suggest, go for the M.O.A.B. which includes fried onion strings and bacon. The Fungus Among Us is also a great burger for those who like mushrooms. For me, fries are always a must with burgers, but I don't order any of the fries with cheese as they use cheese whiz... gross. Otherwise the food is great! The burgers are soft, fatty, juicy, meaty things. Bad for your health, but totally worth it. It gets pretty crowded during peak hours, but from 3-5pm they have half-off sliders!! Definitely worth the trip. Pro Tip: Go with a friend so you can swap sliders. (There are two per order)
(4)Village P.
One of the best burgers I've had around the area. Its very affordable too and worth the money. The half-off between 3 and 5 is a great deal too.
(5)Molly O.
Their burgers are good. I always get black bean but my meat eating counterparts enjoy the cow. I find the couch burger delicious. You get 2 sliders on a cute little tastey bun. If you go between 3-5 burgers are HALF price!! Any day of the week! A few things I don't really like but I tolerate because the food is good- their soft drinks come in cans. No fountain. Their fries come separate. I've never had great service there. Over all you deal with it to enjoy good food. But go during happy hour.
(3)Olivia B.
Very small and unique place with great fast options. I tried there sliders with onion strings and it was quite good. At first I thought that the small first floor is all the space but found out that they have another second level with more seating. Great fast service and great vibe.
(4)David C.
First of all, I honestly did not expect this place to be so small on the inside. That being said, we got in and seated right away, especially for a friday night. The prices are reasonable and the food is good, they give you a good amount of fries for your money and the place is new and clean. The only reason that I can't give five stars is that the location is wierd. For someone not originally from Providence it's hard to find, and there's no parking. Can't fault them too badly for that though, parking in that area is a nightmare anyway. All in all, four star establishment.
(4)Brian O.
Great Burgers, all ingredients are always fresh, great craft beer especially the ones that are usually on tap, service has always been excellent in the 3 dozen times ive been, great for late night food.
(5)Chris C.
I love the huge selection of unique brews and quaint atmosphere. They're happy hour is great fro a quick bite but I always leave feeling full of grease. The sliders taste great but really lay heavy especially on top of a beer or 2
(3)Broseph N.
So this is a purely on principle review. The food here is absolutely scrumptious and there are great beers to be had. The one star comes from the shady fucking charge they put on my bill. I ordered a whiskey on the rocks. I get the bill and it shows that they charged me 50 cents for "Rocks." Really??? You are that cheap and sneaky that you try to slip a 50 cent charge for ice on to $50 check? I can afford it, but I don't like underhanded shit like this. Pretty scum baggy move.
(1)Toni M.
I'm much overdue for a Harry's review update, so here it is, simple: You can't get a better lunch, for a better price, in Providence. (or a better Happy Hour) The burgers are EXCELLENT and very filling. The regular fries and sweet potato fries are both delicious. The bartenders and waitresses are friendly, attentive, and make you want to keep coming back. I love Harry's- its a must try. Happy Hour: Monday - Friday 3-5pm 1/2 off burgers & beers (Yes that means $2 burgers and $3 beers!!)
(5)Hope K.
Folks aren't kidding about the wait. We were told it would be 20 mins and it was over 40 (for just 2 ppl) so be prepared. If you park on the street with a meter make sure you put in enough time. Once seated we had a great cocktail and beer milkshake. The burgers were good and the fried onion strings were delicious. The bartender was friendly and it was all definitely a good value.
(4)Jennifer E.
I dig Harry's. They have good sliders at decent prices. This is especially true during their burger happy hour that runs in the early evening. I especially love their veggie black bean sliders with their tasty bbq sauce. I'm not a huge fan of their regular fries but I enjoy their sweet potato fries. The sliders don't come with a side but it's a couple of dollars extra if you wish to partake. Their draft selection is small and beer is rather expensive. The drafts that they do carry are usually tasty, local craft beers, which is a plus. Their cocktail list usually doesn't have anything too showstopping but they make a rather tasty margarita (hint: it's not on the menu but they have a full bar and sour mix). The bathrooms are cool since they are often playing old faves such as Planes, Trains, and Automobiles or other classics on their tv. There are two separate dining areas, an upstairs area and downstairs dining area plus bar. Even with the two dining spaces, there still seems to be a wait the majority of the time I come in. All, in all, I dig Harry's but it isn't quite my fave burger space. i will keep coming back because of their tasty burgers but it's not quite a four or five star place in my heart.
(3)Scott C.
When a place has a very limited menu, they better do what they have well. Harry's meets this expectation. Their menu is basically just sliders and beer. I walked past this place for years and always said that I would try this place another time but never did until about 2 weeks ago. They are known for their sliders and they are delicious. I am a big fan of the M.O.A.B (Mother of All Burgers). It is just 2 little pieces of heaven. I like to have heaven served with chili cheese fries and a beer from their great selection and it is as close to a religious experience you can get without going to church. If you are feeling ambitious, just make it a threesome which adds another slider. Its a little place with a big atmosphere. Harry also does not like to rob you of your money so you can expect a good burger and beer for a fair price!!
(5)Maria M.
Really tight space but the food was fantastic. I had the classic harry's well done and the kitchen stayed true to the order. If you're coming here, definitely try the salt and pepper fries. Great bang for your buck.
(4)Jef S.
Just when I thought Harry's couldn't get any better, I've discovered their half off happy hour. Likewise, they have Milagro, my favorite tequila. I'm going to put a cot in their bar area and move in. Should be at the top of every Best of Providence list.
(5)Jason H.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere here, and the burgers were filling and well-made. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and we had a great time. There could be a wait to get seats on a busy day, but there are usually spots at the bar that are just as nice.
(4)Cameron P.
I've probably been to Harry's about a dozen times. Never had a problem. This time I went in was BY FAR the worst but I think this establishment still holds it's own. They have a downstairs bar and small dining room and an upstairs with a larger dining room. This last time I went in there was a large party of about 10 celebrating a birthday and it was very loud and took up the entire downstairs except the table I ended up at. For the future I think Harry's should try and sit parties like that upstairs. Admittedly I'm not in Providence all the time so my review may not be the most accurate. Still my friends from RI rate it highly and I can understand why. The burgers and sandwiches are all served as sliders so one order gets you 2 small burgers. Don't worry though, 2 of Harry's sliders are still pretty substantial. You can also add a 3rd burger for half the price of a regular order, or you could just get another order altogether, and you may want to. They have vegetarian friendly options like a black bean burger. Other items on the menu include hot dogs and chicken wings. I've never had the desserts but I've smelled and seem them and they look awesome. I got the Double Wide which is basically a double cheeseburger. It's pretty fantastic. I've also had the black bean burgers and whichever one has pulled pork on it. You can easily get out if here for $15 to $20 after tip per person. They also have a rotating selection of craft beer as well.
(4)Jon S.
Great place. Great food. Great beer. This place has the best burgers in providence and one of the best beer selections. They have at least 4 new beers on tap every week and even more bottled beer and bombers.
(5)Shannon D.
We just arrived after traveling 2+ hours! We had YELPED "Harry's".. Kids wanted BURGERS.. We didn't want chain! The hostess said 30 min wait at least. I said can u recommend another place, we did find u on Yelp .. She offered the SHUFFLE BOARD ROOM TO MY FAMILY! We were seated with the room to our selves, the kids played, we had cocktails & our BURGERS : CRUNCH, MOAB , BACON CHEESEBURGER, a plain CHEESEBURGER ( there is always one.. Lol).. Our server was great. He ran up & down the stairs w/ out forgetting a thing. Excellent service:) excellent Food! DEF COME BACK..
(5)Leesha Z.
I have been here several times and each time I leave full and satisfied. They have an array of delicious items to choose from on the menu from hot dogs to cheeseburgers to yummy desserts. I always get the Harry's classic with a side of fries. The food is always fresh and flavorful and the service in my opinion is always great. This is also a cute place for a date or to come with friends. In my opinion, it's hard to find a good burger in Providence so Harry's is a must!
(4)Rebecca H.
In a town chock-full of places to get a decent burger, Harry's is a standout. You can indulge your curiosity while staying noncommittal, because the menu's offerings are served as two small-ish, affordable sliders. On my most recent visit to Harry's, I didn't have a burger at all - at least, not by a carnivore's definition. I had the veggie black bean sliders, and they were amazing. I have also enjoyed their actual, Hereford hamburgers and they, too, are exceptional: fresh, juicy, melty, flavor-filled helpings of meaty goodness. Parking in this part of town is tough, to say the least--no matter the time of day, or the day of the week. Be prepared: arrive bearing quarters, lots of 'em. And wear walking shoes, because if karma is not on your side, you will have to hoof it back to the restaurant -- and, as metered parking is .25 for 12 minutes, it may cost you nearly a quarter simply to get from your car into Harry's. Once inside, the space is not efficiently laid out. Seating is at a premium; both times I've eaten here, we've opted to take a seat at the bar, rather than wait for table service. Each time, the bartender has been friendly and accommodating, engaging us in friendly conversation and allowing us to sample beers if we indicated interest, but weren't yet fully sold on something. Certain creature comforts aside, you can't argue with a place that serves such an array of quality beer. Wine-bottle sized servings of Delirium Tremens are on the menu, as are Chimay Blue, Loose Cannon Holy Sheet, and Duvel. The beer alone is worth it, and that - not the burgers! - is what ultimately drives up your tab at the end of the night. Do yourself the ultimate favor and spring for an order of fries; but don't stop there. Ask to be loaded down with the various sauce concoctions that are available--the whole array. If you dig dipping, you'll be in your glory. Order one more gourmet beer to pair with your dessert, which should always, always be the Chocolate Crack: four Saltines that are dipped in chocolate sauce, which hardens to a crunchy exterior around the cracker. Sweet...salty... entirely addictive. And only $2.95! I daresay, crack is not whack; it's what's for dessert. And you'll be back for more.
(4)Chad M.
Soo good.. The turkey burger is better than any real burger i have had anywhere else.. Every burger is amazing there... Pastrami burger heaven... They have the cheap deal thing going earlier in the day.. I dig this place!!
(5)Chris L.
Great burgers, excellent atmosphere. The Bloody Marys are wonderful! We sat at the bar and had a lovely time. Go check it out!
(4)Nicholas B.
This place is the perfect spot to go after a nice round of laser tag. Great beer selection food is always good.
(5)Ken A.
Reasonable prices, tasty burgers. Come between 3-5 and get 1/2 off burgers. Lots of beer choices. I'm a fan of most of the burgers, especially the MOAB (they raised the price 1 dollar :( ) and the Pig Pile (burger with pulled pork on top). The fries aren't great and the service can be hit or miss. The people that work there are nice but sometimes the food doesn't come out for quite a while.
(4)Jamie F.
I've been to Harry's several times and for the most part I really do like it here with one exception, the wait time and service. Harry's seems to do something very specific that makes all the difference, from what I can tell they use a flat-top griddle (as opposed to an open fire grill) that holds all those fatty juices inside the burger for your meat loving pleasure. It tastes much like the flat-top griddled burgers of Shake Shack fame, and similarly Harry's house their patties in a soft and delicious potato bun. When I plan on writing a review then I order accordingly - order steak at a steakhouse and a burger at a burger bar. I recommend you do the same here as my one venture away from this lead me to a sub-par hot dog. I've tried the M.O.A.B., Fungus Among Us, and the Crunch Burger. Each order of burgers comes with two sliders and are well priced between $5-6 per order. They also offer half price burgers daily from 3-5pm on the dot- so if you sit down at 4:55pm but don't order until 5:01pm, you're out of luck. There are several fries that are also very tasty although I should note that the string fries can come out pretty greasy. Harry's has a small and playful atmosphere with interesting aesthetics, televisions, and an upper level of seating. I really enjoy the quiet music that appeals to multiple tastes ranging from Ray Charles, Peter Bjorn & John, and Nas. They also have a good beer selection; a normal tip off of this for me is when I see old speckled hen on tap. Yum. But...and there's always a but with three stars...the service! The staff does seem friendly and willing to help but during my last visit the food came out forty minutes after we placed our order for two burgers and a side of string fries. So after thirty minutes I asked our waitress if our order had in fact been put through and she explained that there was a large takeout order of 150 burgers which was causing the holdup and that ours would still take a few more minutes. I then asked her if she could at least bring out our order of fries which she agreed and did so five minutes later. I imagine that Harry's flat top grille isn't very big and that in order to fill an order of 150 burgers they would PROBABLY need to fill it 4-6 times. However, if a restaurant is experiencing delays I would expect them to let us know before we place our order and offer to bring out something else until our burgers were ready. This coupled with the fact that another table that was seated after us received their food first, leads me to believe that our waitress either A) put our order in late B) wasn't immediately informed of the backup in the kitchen C) wasn't thinking ahead OR D) was playing scramble with friends (which I did at the table to fill some time). I always try to give servers the benefit of the doubt but in this case the bottom line is that someone goofed. Harry, I will be back for the juicy burgers but won't come super hungry and will probably go during a game that will hold my attention until the burgers are ready. Burgers & Fries: A- Atmosphere: B+ Service: C- Final Grade: B
(3)Galya T.
Harry's burgers are taste of heaven thats for sure. I love this place and everyone is super friendly every time I come in. I also like the fact that its not expensive at all. Had couple of my birthdays there and because I am getting older, the place doesnt!
(4)Camille T.
I've driven by the cow on North Main St more times than I can count, but tonight was the first time I've come to Harry's. It's extremely casual. Burgers are served in baskets, nachos and fries are served in cardboard boats. The food is good, though. It's sit-down fast food. Not my favorite, but the burgers are great an there are a ton of beer choices! I'm sure we'll be back!
(4)Virginia Y.
My friends at Brown rave about this place. It was my first meal in Providence. I ordered the MOAB burger, I love the portion sizes at this place. They're sliders but they're pretty filling. The best part was indefinitely the bacon for me. The burgers were okay, they're not juicy but they weren't dry either. My friend ordered salt and pepper fries with their truffle sauce which I found to be quite delightful to my liking. Another friend had a brownie which I sampled, all I can say is " chocolate goodness." They also serve alcoholic milk shakes, it kind of tricks you since you don't really taste the alcohol yet but all in all, still really good. The only thing I didn't like was how long it took to seat us, it was about a 30 - 45 min wait for a group of 8...
(4)Jack C.
The sliders here are delicious, and I especially recommend that Moab. Also get the side of fried onions... They're incredibly good. My only complaint is that service is pretty bad, often taking very long to take an order and sometimes the wait for food is bizarrely long.
(4)Molly L.
Harry's is my go-to spot for burgers in providence. The "burger" is really 2 mini burgers, which I prefer, since it's so much easier to eat that way, for ~$5. The buns are grilled, not mushy or cold, and the fillings are phenomenal. I love the M.O.A.B. (Mother of All burgers) which comes with fried onion strings, bacon, meat, lettuce and the Fungus among Us which has deliciously grilled mushrooms inside. I recommend also getting the chili fries (cheese+chili+jalapenos) as a side... perfect meal! If you have a slight sweet tooth after eating those burgers, RESIST THE TEMPTATION. We got the Irish crumb brownie bites which ended up to be a real disappointment. The brownies were slightly-cold (aka not fresh) brown bits with some chocolate whiskey sauce and not appetizing at all. Overall, love the burgers here. If you can't resist a deal, go in 3-5PM, and the burgers will be half off!!!
(4)Anna P.
I would have liked more info on what kind of meat they serve, and not only if it has been frozen or not. Unclear if the beef was grass fed, organic, hormone free or humanly raised. Big minus. The sliders were quite tasty. I would probably have liked it better if I could choose what kind of bun they came with. The fries were normal / mediocre. Don't come here if you are in a hurry, they really take their time making your food. Good bang for your buck though.
(3)Ashley C.
I'll be honest. 'Meh' at best. We went here on a whim on a Friday. We awkwardly stood in the freezing cold doorway for about 20 minutes without being greeted in any way, and we ended up snatching seats at the bar before finding out if we would ever have a table. Seated at the bar, I'm not certain the bartender ever cleaned the bar off from the people who were there before us. I may sound snotty, but I am pretty sure I laid down a napkin. Beer selection was good, but overwhelming for someone like myself who drinks bud light out of ease and preference for not having to stare at the menu. We each ordered burgers, and I got sweet potato fries while hubs got regular. Again, meh. When we finally got our food, which was at least a 30 minute wait for fast food quality, I will say the burgers were decent. However, our fries both arrived #1 cold and #2 without their said sauces. So... Skip it unless you really want to get slider burgers for not so slider prices and cold fries.
(3)Ed P.
Excellent burgers and fries. Chicken wings also rocked. Nachos fell short so don't bother with those. Had chocolate chip cookie ice sandwiches that totally rocked (freshly made). Good service, intimate space
(4)Carlos V.
The sliders are AWESOME- Great selection of Beer- Small, but hip and usually short wait on weekends. Also, NEED I SAY MORE THAN ~~~ CHOCOLATE CRACK??? SO addicting after a couple of good burgers!! You need to try it!
(5)Hilary H.
Harry's has such potential to be something worthy of "great." However, the service was so deplorable that I have to knock what would be a four-star review down to three. This teensy shoebox of a chic burger joint is adorable, and has all the makings of a hit: great food, fun interior, a stellar beer list, open late and a perched on a street which makes for a fantastic location. However, waiting over a half an hour for some burgers made me nuts... especially since the place was near empty and it was after 9:30 on a Monday night. Also, immediately upon arriving and being seated we ordered water. We got the water after the food arrived, and seeing as I was parched (so what if I ate a whole bag of salty popcorn at the movie I saw before dinner?), this was a huge strike against our waitress. Based on the burgers alone, I'm sure I'll be back. The Hus had some seriously succulent cheese burger sliders, and I partook of the Buffalo chicken sandwich sliders. We shared the salt 'n' peppa fries, and they did not disappoint, kids - nary a fry was left astray. Also, I love that they're open late in a town notoriously known for before 10 pm shut-downs. And, as I mentioned, that beer list is pretty dope.
(3)Wow K.
Harry's M.O.A.B. sliders are one of my favourite burgers of all time. But honestly, everything on the menu is great especially the hot dogs, bacon cheese fries, and the hard shakes.
(4)Bill D.
Fancy? No. But I've been here twice (once late at night, once for lunch) and been satisfied both times. The sliders are incredibly tasty - juicy but not greasy. The salt and pepper fries are amazing and could easily be eaten on their own without the burgers at all. And the beer selection is great... anyplace I can get Old Speckled Hen on tap, I'm a fan. Atmosphere is kind of divey, but fun divey instead of "you'll catch hepatitis" divey. If you're looking for a quick lunch or some late night grub to soak up some of the booze in your system, Harry's is a good place to go.
(4)Christine P.
Went here the other night with a friend for some "girl" time and we loved it. This is definitely a little dive of a place and not fancy in any way, but that does not matter if the food is good. And we really thought it was! We sat downstairs in a corner booth, which was very comfy. My friend had a couple of different beers from the many choices (and kudos to the server for offering suggestions and samples!) Not being a beer girl I had a Cosmo (go ahead and laugh) and a glass of white wine. Both were very good and better than I had expected for a place that is known for beer. I had the MOAB sliders and my friend had the Pig Pile sliders. We didn't share but I loved mine and she said she was happy with hers as well. We had a basket of 1/2 regular fries and 1/2 sweet potato fries and they were both really, really good. I kind of wish we had more of the sweet potato and next time we'll probably order two. I wish we had room for dessert but between the burgers and the drinks, we were full. I would definitely go back, particularly on those nights you are in the mood for for an indulgent, greasy meal. They have some spiked milkshakes on the menu too that I'd love to try some time. Service was good. They are definitely laid back, but that's the kind of place it is. They were friendly and accomodating though, so we were very content. Definitely worth a trip!

A pretty amazing meal for two at $25. And that's after a good tip! Went there with a friend when I was visiting Providence. I got the pastrami sliders as well as the chili cheese fries. My friend got the M.O.A.B. and sweet potato fries plus a coke. We were both stuffed but I admit to finishing her fries even after my stomach said no more. They have a good selection of drinks abd I'm slightly bummed I didn't know about the 3-5pm half off burgers deal. Will definitely make a special stop the next time I'm back east. Seating is both indoors and outdoors but there's an upstairs that I didn't check out.

Yum. I LOVE Harry's burgers. They're AMAZING. The service isn't all that great, but every time I've gotten sliders they're really good. Sometimes things can get a little pricey if you get drinks. One time my boyfriend ordered a beer (off the list that doesn't have prices) and asked how much it was and was told "not much more than your friends" because his friend ordered an IPA. His beer ended up being twelve dollars for a pint. Not worth it. Misinformed. Four stars for the burgers, though.

I just realized a few days ago that I haven't reviewed Harry's. I really have to tell everyone on Yelp, if you live in Providence or are going to be visiting, you really need to do yourself a favor and go to Harry's. It is a mix of a gastropub and a great burger joint (what genius combo btw). You can go strictly to drink at the bar or just go for the burgers, or do what I do and mix beer and burgers. You cannot go wrong with any of the sliders on the menu, from the Bacon Cheeseburger right on down to the MOAB (Mother of all Burgers). For a side go for some sweet potato fries with the very tasty aioli or their delicious chili cheese fries. We are always taking visitors out to Harry's and when we need a go to place for a date we always have Harry's on the list. Seriously my mouth is watering as I write this review.

Very tasty and the price was right! We got there after a movie at about 9:30 on a Monday night. We sat right down and ordered our beers - and they have a great beer menu. We then ordered some burgers. It took about 1/2 hour which seemed longer than that because at 9:30 I was starved but they definitely hit the spot. I had the regular cheeseburgers with salt & pepper fries. And I'd have them again right now if I could! Next time I'll try to get a seat at the bar. Seemed like a better ambiance for me especially if there are any large groups in the back (which there were) as it can get pretty loud.

Phenomenal food. Worth the wait.
(5)Katie N.
I can't say much since I only came here for late night drinks with friends - but, I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and overall vibe of Harry's. There is a nice spacious upstairs area. And, the bathroom had a TV playing horror movies. I think this is to scare people from taking too much time on the toilet. The selection of booze and beer is good. But, I think the bartender didn't really know what s/he was doing because I asked for a Black & Coke and got a giant glass of soda with a faint taste of Johnnie.

Came to Providence during Spring Break with a friend and was recommended this place by someone who said it would be crowded, but it was pretty vacant on a Monday around 1. Sliders are good, with high-quality beef in the patty and a good variety of toppings. We also had the onion strings, which come with a really interesting spicy ketchup that ran out faster than the fried onions. But the best thing about this place is the beer selection and the knowledgeable bartenders who can tell you whatever you want to know about whatever you're drinking.
(4)Joseph D.
I really enjoyed this trendy, tight college eatery. Burgers are essentially sliders, but oh so tasty and the shoestring fries are really very good. I suggest doubling your order if you're really hungry. Great selection of beers and stout on-tap as well.
(4)Nathan M.
Awesome burgers. Service is great. Excellent sellection of beers on the menu. Probably one of the best spots for a burger in RI.

Harry's was a wonderful and delicious surprise on N Main in providence. I came here with my girlfriend for one of her friend's birthday dinner. They had a reservation so the table was setup when we got there. We actually hung around the bar area for 15 minutes or so to wait for the others in the party to arrive and the staff was fine with us hanging out at the bar. The friend who booked the table actually booked a room that they have in the basement that just so happens to have a shuffleboard table. However, it did not have any tables to eat on... We were rolling 12 deep and without any tables and just little shelves to put drinks on did not workout. We asked for some tables and in a few minutes time, were than escorted to the second floor (many floors to this establishment) through a narrow stairway from the entrance, where we were seated. The upstairs dining area was smallish in size and it felt like we took up half the upstairs area. But we were all comfortably seated now. So the beer from Harry's is pretty good. They had only three beers on tap but they were fine selections. I had a Sixpoint sour wheat beer and it delish. Oh and don't forget to order the boot glass that is only 68 oz. Only draft selection can be ordered to fill the boot (obvious reasons). So make sure you like the beer! As for the burgers - actually sliders - they were excellent. I had the Fungus Among Us slider and complimented the sliders with Sloppy Harry Chili Fries. It was a pairing like white on rice. My girl ordered the Crunch Burger which they over did it with the fried onion strings. It was overflowing to the floor (maybe not that much). Overall the service was excellent since we had a large party. The food and drinks came out promptly without mess ups. When the bill came, the waiter was nice enough to offer some members of our party to immediately charge their portion so as to make the other party paying by cash easier to split. I would recommend going and would personally be back to taste some of their other burgers.

CONFESSION #1 - Harry, you are living proof that good things do come in twin packages. Your sliders are so juicy, your combinations so innovative (like the fungus among us made with portobellos and truffle oil), your buns totally delectable that CONFESSION #2 - I shamelessly returned here four days after my first visit for round two. CONFESSION #3 - Joel is a keeper. How he recognized me after 96 hours with a smile and hello is proof that he could tell I am smitten. May I also sing from the rooftops CONFESSION #4 - your daily happy hour (half priced sliders from 3-5!) might just put you out of business...$1.25/patty. Really? It won't be but a day or two until we meet again. Love, V

$2.50 a piece with no side is a little steep for a potato roll size burger but its 1/2 price 3p-5p during the week but they taste AMAZING

My experience with Rhode Island burgers is limited, to say the least. Aside from a brief stint for my undergrad many moons ago, I have not done extensive food research in our tiny neighboring state. On a whim a couple of weeks ago, we set off to Providence for an afternoon of bites and walking around the state's capital. After doing a bit of on-the-fly research, we found our way out of the rain and into Harry's Bar and Burger, supposedly one of the top burger destinations in Providence. A warm and welcoming staff made us feel accommodated immediately in this cozy casual bar setting. The burger menu is the clear highlight (as the name suggests) and they are made as sliders, with two per order and fries a la carte, with options aplenty. I settled for the very straight-forward "Harry's Classic Cheese," which comes on toasted potato rolls, American cheese, grilled onion and pickle for $4.99. The burgers are definitely as advertised in the slider department, but we still have to examine it on the same basis for any sized burger, including but not limited to: meat to bun ratio, use of condiments, application of cheese, etc. The burgers, cooked on a griddle, are definitely big on bun but short on beef. The towering potato rolls are impeccably fresh, airy and squishy in the best of ways. But the beef, a very thin patty nestled into it all, almost gets lost in a sea of bread, lettuce and cheese. The beef has almost no crust to speak of, although it is adequately seasoned with salt and pepper. Melted American cheese combined with a healthy dose of a mayonnaise based spread certainly add a creaminess that is very enjoyable, and overall it actually is quite an enjoyable few bites. It is puzzling however, that for such a basic and primitive slider with barely any toppings on it, how quickly the beef goes missing on a moment's notice. On it's own the beef has pockets of flavor, not too lean or too fatty, but too generic and most likely less seasoned than what is ideal to make it stand out. It's pretty juicy as far as sliders go, but just can't hold a candle to a bigger sized patty. After the fact I realized that you can double the beef for an extra fee, which I would suggest based on my experience to presumably pump up the beef flavor. Fries are heavy, thin and sort of chewy and are dusted with salt and pepper for $2.25. They definitely don't taste super fresh, giving the vibe that they were previously fried and very poorly re-heated, maybe I caught them on a bad day but the portion was small and they offered very little to almost no redeeming qualities. The sliders at Harry's Bar and Burger are satisfying if you aren't one to over-focus on the beef. If you can be content to eat a couple of bites and enjoy them as a whole package and less of individual components, it's an easy breezy endeavor. But for me, when the beef needs to be the major piece of the puzzle, it falls a little short. Still, for around $7 with fries, you essentially get a 1/4 burger that isn't a bad deal at all, it's just not exactly worth a trip from Boston to get there.

I've been here several times because I appreciate a good (but small) selection of rotating draft beers and incredibly delicious sliders. However, I don't know if I just didn't realize in the past or if they recently changed their beer prices, but I was absolutely disgusted when I found out our beers (all session, local beers i.e. nothing high alcohol or rare) were $7.50/pint!! That is absolutely nuts. This has to change because I for one won't be going back until those beer prices come back to earth. Used to be a 5 star venue for sure, but those beer prices really struck a nasty chord with me. For shame.
(3)Gabriel O.
Harry's serves absolutely incredible sliders. They taste fresh, come in great combinations, and are highly affordable. They come in pairs or trios, and are half off from 3-5 daily. The beer and liquor selection is decent, and my servers have always been at the very least both helpful and friendly. There is a bar in the front room, and a small room with tables in the rear, both of which (with cow themed decor) are relatively comfortable. The menu overall is straightforward, and creative, however all the drinks are primarily adult oriented, so it may not be the absolute best place to bring kids. I would highly recommend Harry's, I think they could expand on their list of toppings even more, but I most certainly plan on returning.
(4)Eme L.
I love bugers. Harrys was on phantom gourmet . my bff and I went to check it out. Turns out this place was bomb! We got some onion rings it was a big basket we looked at each other thinking we can't finish. .but once we started munching on them before u know it they were gone. We tried there vanilla caramel twinkie milkshake wow completely blown away it was genius ..I don't really drink alcohol but I could totally smash down a few of them. We got some burgers when they arrived it was 2 sliders I usually put ketchup but once I took a bite it was pure bliss, juicy heavenly goodness. We ate them like it was nothing. No ketchup needed. Seriously we were stuffed but we were so impressed at how good they were we ordered another 2 burgers 2 share. You gotta stop by n check it out
(4)Casey D.
This is definitely one of my favorite spots here in Providence! Their extensive beer menu full of a variety of different IPA's and local beer will keep you coming back for more. Their burgers are on point, with a variety of options to choose from. The pastrami burger is definitely my favorite but the MOAB (mother of all burgers), with its bacon, mushroom, and fried onion strings, is a top contender. And don't forget about the fries! Their sweet potato fries served with an aioli should not be passed up. Harrys is the perfect spot to get good food and good drink with a group of friends. Go for happy hour Monday through Friday from 3 to 5 and get half off burgers and beers.
(5)Kevin V.
This is a very small but fun place. This is not a cheeseburger place only a slider place. I ordered the pig sliders with pulled pork on top. It was good. I also got a beer and a side of cheese fries. I'm slim and that was probably enough food. The sliders were good. The fries were fine. Good selection of beer. I ate some of my son's hot dog too. It was decent...and huge! I would recommend this place...it's American food...so don't expect to eat healthy. It's fun and I could see going back to try different sliders if I lived in the area. Also, we were told it is ranked in the top 10 for best cheeseburgers in the US...no way. The judge apparently never went to California.
(4)Bri E.
The burgers here are the best burgers I've ever had! I've tried their cheeseburger and their black bean veggie burger and they were both awesome!! I've also tried their sweet potato fries and their grateful dead which were amazing (It was probably the best grateful dead I've ever tried)! Their prices weren't too bad either. The only potential downside of this place is the size. It is super tiny and there was barely any room for people who were waiting at the bar to move (I was also there on a Friday night so that was probably why). Although the size of this place is a potential downside, I think it also adds to the ambiance of it which is really neat and something that you're not likely to find elsewhere.
(5)Mandy D.
Harry's makes a damn good slider. The M.O.B. (Mother of Burgers) is TO DIE FOR. And it's a steal to go between 3-5pm because all sliders are half off. I'm a huge bloody mary lover, so I'm obsessed with the bacon bloody. Therefore, this is my favorite place to go grab Sunday lunch. Sometimes the service can be a bit lax, but I usually leave pretty satisfied overall. Oh, and I really enjoy the TV's in the bathrooms! :)
(4)Timothy B.
This place has without a doubt, hands down, the best burgers in Providence and possibly anywhere I've ever been. To give this place even 4 stars, is confusing to me and somewhat upsetting. The burgers themselves are slightly larger than the normal sliders (you get two per order, but can order a "threesome". The special sauce is awesome and they have many excellent variations on the typical burger. Also, the salt and pepper fries are nearly perfected standard fries to go with the burger. The bar is also great, with several choices on tap and several more by bottle. Service is excellent, nearly everyone who has waited on me here has been friendly and awesome. Music is great with excellent selection of 90's era hip-hop, amongst other genres. Desert and other sides are also excellent. If you're in the area and are looking forward to something delicious, cheap (half off 3-5 pm every day on burgers), and with friendly waitstaff / bartenders do yourself a favor and go.
(5)Ashley L.
I have been to this place a couple of times now and I like it a lot. The burgers I'm pretty sure are all sliders. They are very good, as well as the fries, love the sweet potato fries! Good beer selection. Both times I have been here I ended up trying different beers that I have never had before, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's also a plus that you can get food here late night!
(4)Pete B.
Best burgers I've had...and they are sliders. Good service, even better beer. If you rate this place below a 4 then I feel sorry for you...or you went to the wrong place and got confused. My favorite place for dinner when heading to Providence.
(5)Wayne P.
Very good beer selection on tap with only a hand full of lines. one of the few places you can get a Speckled Hen on Nitro. Avoid the chili pretty much tasteless with the hamburger ground into the consistency of sand. I'm sorry but slider sandwiches do not impress me. they were tasty but snack sized food makes me think i'm at an English tea. The french fries( salt and pepper) were good. Oh and by the way this IS A Small place.
(2)David C.
I've been here a few times, and most recently visited last night. In the mood for a burger and a beer? Look no further! This is a down-to-earth bar/restaurant with a "grungy" feel (in a good way). It has decent sliders and excellent fries. As you can tell from some of the other reviews, the "burgers" here are actually mini-burgers or "sliders." Each order comes with 2, or you can add a third for some extra $. The burgers are affordable ($5-6 per order) but don't come with fries unless you order them separately. My complaints about the burgers: the lack of seasoning and the thickness of the patties. They are a little larger than White-Castle sized patties (though definitely of higher quality). I'd prefer something a tad thicker. Also, the patties themselves are a bit on the bland side. Certainly not bad, but very little independent flavor of their own (aside from "meat" flavored). The fries are excellent and dirt cheap. They are "shoestring" style - thin and crispy! The beer selection is fairly large, and contains some delightful surprises (for example, they carry "Porkslap"). The beer is priced accordingly for the location ($3.75ish for the cheapest beer, but most bottles are closer to $6). I think my can of Porkslap was an affordable $4. The service was fast and friendly! Though i've sat upstairs before, and--depending on the time of day--it can feel like a dead zone. Thicker, more flavorful patties and slightly cheaper beer would give this place 5 stars (for what it is - a great place to grab a burger and some beers)
(4)Chayna D.
The food was good. I got the bacon cheeseburger sliders and the buffalo wings...no complaints. The first floor is bordering on a dive feel and kind of dark. The service is nothing to talk about...but then again I only dealt with the bartender. This is a half review based on a take out order that I waited for. After seeing what little I did of the atmosphere I was glad to eat at home. I only waited 15 min for my food; not bad. The only thing this place is missing is a drive-thru window.
(2)Pamela L.
I've been here a couple of times and was happy with food and service, though it was noisy and very busy both times. First time was during restaurant week and there was a good deal on burgers/sliders which hit the spot. This last time I got the Cajun spiced turkey burgers which were a bit too salty. Still, water glass was refilled multiple times and I also had a soft drink, so I appreciated that we weren't neglected. Tried the salt & pepper fries which could have used more seasoning, but they were good. Large beer selection so next time I'll try a different beverage.
(3)Mitch K.
Went with my brother as we had a Groupon to spend and I'll definitely be back. The burgers are greasy, the buns are soft, and the toppings are plentiful...I was in heaven. You get two sliders per order and they're a good size but after we ate our burgers we decided to split another order...the burgers go for $5-$6 which is very reasonable. I saw two guys at another table order four different kinds of burgers (eight sliders in total) for sharing and that's what we are going to do the next time. The M.O.A.B. burger is awesome! I'd like it just a tad better if they had a more normal mixed drink menu (I had the fruit punch and it tasted like gasoline), and twice the beer my brother ordered was sold out. If you're going to have a 30+ selection of beers make sure you have them in stock, or shorten the list a little bit.
(4)Meg M.
Ok, time for a long overdue update of Harry's Bar! I figured out how to have a kick ass time everytime we come here: #1- Come during HAPPY HOUR weekdays from 3-5 when all burgers are HALF price!! This is really a no brainer, why pay double ever again for the same burger?! #2- Sit at the BAR. The bartenders are all awesome, friendly, and professionals who have great personality and give excellent service. The first couple times we sat at the tables where service can be sub-par. It seems they have the A team at the bar and the B team on the floor. The difference in service level is palpable. The food is always awesome no matter what kind of burger you order and the beer selection is also fantastic, so keep the above in mind and you won't be disappointed.
(4)Jeff V.
We were lucky enough to get a seat at the bar. Service was great. Bartender friendly. They have a large selection of bottled beers and have about five beers on tap. No crap on tap here so leave your Budweiser koozie at home. Burgers were delicious. We tried three different burgers. I was impressed with the fungus amungus!
(4)Gary S.
This is a favorite of mine for lunch when I visit Providence. It has a great casual atmosphere with great beer on tap. I have had just about everything on the menu. You can't go wrong with anything you order. I could go on and on but why? Just go and try it for yourself. The burgers are half price between 3pm and 5pm during the week. Can't go wrong with that and order away. This is how I have had most of the menu.
(5)Sara B.
the burgers are so dang delicious! Even the drinks are awesome. you gotta try the red headed step child. Oh and for desert ask for the crack :)
(5)Christopher C.
HAPPY HOUR 3-5 MONDAY-FRIDAY Half price burgers during happy hour cannot be beat. Harry's"s has the Slider burger business on lock down. These little burgers pack a punch when it comes to flavor. I highly recommend the "double wide" with bacon. The service ca be a bit slow, but that is compounded by the fact that the kitchen is tiny and usually only one chef is on duty pumping out these perfect little burgers. With a very long and varied list of beers waiting time is usually handled with aplomb.
(4)Carly B.
The sliders are juicy deliciousness. I recommend the MOAB (Mother of All Burgers): cheese, bacon, mushrooms, shredded lettuce, pile of onion strings. That's the good news. But not good enough to bring me back to Harry's. The bad just kept coming, to the point I was waiting for Ashton Kutcher to leap around the corner and tell me I'd been "Punk'd". We were sat in the room at the top of the stairs. Do not recommend. The late 90's hip hop and "slow jams" could be faintly heard from downstairs, but it was Sunday ABC primetime on the big screen that was the aural focal point. Icky dim lights cast shadows off the scraps and crumbs all over the grey carpeted floor: it looked like the aftermath of a 4-year-old's birthday party at Friendly's. The issues of service that followed were in part due to a sweet, woefully inexperienced waitress who just has not found her groove but mostly a clear lack of communication between kitchen/bar/servers. Get it together, people! 20 minutes in and my dining companion hadn't yet received his root beer, nor me my water I'd asked for twice, though I had a beer to work on (our server didn't know anything about the beer when asked about it so she made something up.) Girlfriend got her workout that night running laps up and down the stairs delivering messages of "we're out of _____" to the patrons, bringing the wrong stuff, complaining that the kitchen hadn't told her this or that. Finally - food. Little plastic insert gone from malt vinegar so the fries had a bath that night. A manager comes up to apologize for the crazy-long wait and does the right thing - offer us mercy chipwiches. But it's an odd favor to dish out when you then put the onus on ME to inform my server that we were made said offer so that it won't show up on my bill. (Turned out she got the message, but why even say that!) If these sliders were served out of a food truck or a lunch counter, I'd be all over it, but I'm not going to sit down and be subjected to craptastic service for an hour for a couple of burgers - that's what Friendly's is for!
(2)Stephanie K.
Great tiny burger bar. All they have is sliders with a lot of flavor for not having much beef. If I want a burger I want BEEF. This place is more of an appetizer place.
(2)PJ D.
I've been to Harry's several times now and I like it. The Pros: There is a good beer selection and they have some really interesting mixed things if you're not into beer. The sliders are fantastic. Without a doubt you'll be craving them within days. I usually get the Bacon or the classic cheese burger but I've had the chicken one as well as bites from a few other things on the menu. There's no issue with the taste; it all tastes good. The Cons: It's tiny. The downstairs is really cool but really small so it can get crowded quickly. The upstairs lacks any sense of ambiance or vibe. As another poster noted the dirty carpet gives the place a weird TGI Fridays vibe. The service can be spotty. I've had great servers and I've had people who forgot to come back to the table. Kind of all over the place. You also may leave smelling like a burger joint; you've been warned. The bathroom is always clean but not as large as i would expect for a place that could hold that many people. In the end, I like the burgers and I'll keep going back but I would stay away on nights where it may be a little more crowded as it may just be too stressful and not worth the wait.
(3)Danitza S.
Harry's bar and burger is the perfect place to go eat when on a budget. Affordable sliders and amazing food, from 3-5PM daily burgers are 1/2 the price. A casual restaurant that offers seating outside or inside close to the bar or upstairs. It's a great place to hang out with friends.
(5)Juli L.
I've been to Harry's a handful of times, have always sat at the bar and have always left happy and full. I've seen a lot of complaints about the service, but every time I've been there the folks behind the bar have been nice and attentive. My glass has never been empty for long! They offer half price sliders between 3-5 which is a plus. The tap beer selection is small but they rotate some pretty decent brews, plus always have a cask offering. The sliders come in pairs of two and none come with fries, but that's fine by us. The Pastrami Burger is absolutely amazing and generally we'll split an order of sweet potato fries which, for us, is more than enough.
(3)Becky M.
Great beer selection and better sliders selection. What isn't there to like? My boyfriend and I tried 1 with pulled pork, 1 made Cuban-style with ham & mustard, and 1 with a little chili. The pulled pork was certainly the best of the 3, but we enjoyed them all. I'm a girl that loves French fries, and these were fantastic. Was quiet on a Tuesday night, but that was okay with us. Service was a little slow, but our server was in training, so we were okay with it. I've waited tables, I understand.
(4)Kameron S.
I like this place. The slider things is a fun concept and the burgers are pretty tasty. I was still a little hungry after finishing mine though. I suggest getting an extra or not sharing your fries!
(4)C B.
I'm preggers. Sometimes you catch a whiff of something and you just HAVE to have it or you'll go crazy. While driving down the strip after grocery shopping in Attleboro today I smelt burgers...And that was the end of it. Lucky for me, I don't live in Attleboro, I live on Providence's East Side and my options are pretty wide for good burgers. So I turned to Yelp. Soo glad I did. Harry's delivered, and my family was pleased. Being in our neighborhood, it was super fast and easy to get to. No parking issues. It was pretty busy which is expected for a Saturday night, but we really didn't wait long at all. They lead us up stairs to a little room which was all widows. We liked that. Made the tiny space feel...Not so tiny. My six year old wanted Nachos, he got 'em, and they were pretty simple but good. Then we all got burgers. I got the M.O.A.B, it's pretty fantastic and it wasn't too big or overkill like I feared. Just enough to fill me up, and lots of flavor! Husband got the pig pile burger, burgers with pulled pork on top. He loved it and wished he added a third to his order. My six year old (who's cheese burger crazy) got the double wide...With bacon added. We told him it was gonna be way too much and he assured us it wouldn't be...Well he got one and a half down, pretty impressive for such a wee boy. So all three meals, appetizer, a beer, and two gingerales and we left paying just under $40. Awesome! Service was pretty good. Basic waiting, quick delivery, and we probably were in and out of there in about an hour. Good stuff. We'll def be returning, especially now that we know burgers are half off between 3-5!!
(4)C R.
No doubt...best sliders around! Food is always consistent, and fun options to choose from. The dipping sauce that comes with the sweet potato fries is fabulous. Be sure to try the chocolate crack for dessert it is amazing! Also FYI prices are good!
(5)Lou P.
You get two first bites! Look for the big cow out front They stock rye; 'nuff said Harry's is the newest venue from the Elkhay family, who brought you Luxe and Rick's Roadhouse. Their motto is fast food slow, and its sure worth the wait. The place is super easy to find. If you're familiar with the old Chinese Laundry, it's the same spot, right across from Olive's. If you have no idea where that might be, look for the giant Holstein cow out front. Inside, there's a whole black and white thing going on, with checkered tile and dark framing around the doorways to complement the dark faux marble and black wood bar. There's also cow hide (false I assume) lining the backs of the bar chairs and mottled spots on the walls. There's a game room with shuffleboard downstairs and a few small tables upstairs, so options are pretty varied. They make all the burgers fresh to order, and they all come in slider form, with 2 to a serving. They're seared nicely on the outside, but still plenty juicy at first bite. Plus you get two first bite, who's arguing with that? They're 3-4 bites each, and you're not left with a handful of ketchup and lettuce like you would be with a full size burger. The choices are fun, ranging from the regular burger and cheeseburger to the fungus among us (Portobello mushroom topper) and M.O.A.B. (cheese, bacon, mushroom, fried onion strings) selections. They serve everything in a red basket with plastic cutlery, so there's something of a boardwalk fries feel to the presentation. The Salt and Pepper fries are the shoestring variety you see at fast food venues, but not as greasy. Definitely ask for a side of the chipotle ketchup that comes with the onion strings, especially if you like a mild kick. Prices are good, and the burger happy hour (half price burgers) from 3-5 PM is well worth it. Nothing is more than $6, save for the double wide burger. While you might want to order two burgers (four total,) my advice is go for the fries instead. As far as spirits go, Harry's pours the best Sazerac in the city, (although they made with Bulleit bourbon instead of the advertised rye, which wasn't in yet). I'd go here again on that merit alone. A larger choice of spirits would be great, but they have a fairly decent range, and it's clear hat the bar isn't overflowing with well vodka, so I'm down. The cocktail list includes two rye drinks; most bars don't even have rye. There's also a super refreshing fresh lemon press with vodka and soda water. There's a large list of bottled and canned beers, as well as a fun offering of hard milkshakes and floats, all priced at $8. All the cocktails are $8.50, and wines run from $5.50-$9. There's a devilish bloody mary on the menu relying heavily on jalapeño I'm dying to try. One of the better new establishments in Providence, and the price is most certainly right for food, and the cocktails are bold and strong.

I'm a big fan of this place. The burger is a very solid small burger, not necessarily a true slider but a great generally. This is a good restaurant if you want a topping-intensive burger, which is to say, a burger for which the burger itself is not the primary focus. The toppings are top notch, fries and sauces are very satisfying. Try to come early when the burgers are half priced. I'm told there are great cocktails but I haven't tried them.

I vowed not to return but ended up meeting friends for lunch last week. The service was actually good this time. The burgers were great and we were out of there quickly. The waitress was friendly and on the ball. I may have changed my mind about this place.....

I am definenatly a fan. We found this place thru yelp and the burgers were so good! We will be back!

Great food at great prices, what a rarity for Providence. Probably the only place I've been where they let you substitute the vegetarian bean burger for any of the other slider burgers. I got the Fungus Amongus with the bean burger and it was delicious. The Kryptonite Aoili is to die for. Sweet potato fries were crisp and went well with my Old Speckled Hen cream ale. My only complaint was the noise level, music was way too loud.

I was initially hesitant to come here. "Sliders?! How am I supposed to get full off of two sliders?" Boy am I glad that I was wrong. I am trying to work my way as a burger connoisseur, and I have to say Harry's has some of the best burgers in RI! The sliders are surprisingly filling, my favorite being the pig pile burger. The sweet potato fries are delicious as well. A good beer selection, although i wish they a larger draft selection. The only aspect that prevented me from giving Harry's 5 stars is the service. Occasionally slow service, but my gripe is they don't smile enough...they need a dose of the McDonald's theme song :)

Good food and yummy beers on tap if you're looking for fun, good, cheap eats. Go big or go home - get the haystack onion straws, you won't be disappointed.

I echo Steve R's comments about "where's the beef?" Although I was very excited to try this place and I liked the concoctions they created for the burger choices, I was severely disappointed with the amount of meat in each one. Additionally, you have to other fries separately. When you add up the price of a duo of small burgers, an order of fries, and a drink, the price becomes fairly steep. In the end I see this place as more of a place to grab a few unusual beers than a place to go for food. On a side note, I sadly dropped my order of fries after only eating a handful, and when the waitress came back and saw the mess on the floor, she asked if we wouldn't mind if she waited until we left to clean it up - so we had to spend the rest of the meal sadly looking at what was left of my fries. On top of that, she didn't even ask if I wanted to order another basket or -as most places do - bring another order for free, considering I had hardly eaten any of them. Now, I know I don't deserve a free basket considering I was a complete spaz and spilled the first, but it tends to be common courtesy to forgive patrons spaziness.

Lovvvve this place! A friend took me here back in Oct and Im just sitting down to write about it. This place is very unassuming from outside. I would have driven right past it. The decor inside is that of a small English pub. Dark wood, great beers, and nice and small. Im obsessed with the cowhide backs to the bar stools. Really cool. Now for the food. The burgers... wow! I could seriously sit here and put back like 4 orders of these bad birds. I cant wait to go back and try them all. The black pepper fries are pretty awesome as well. SUCH a great little find, and I WILL be making more trips off the Island to hit this place up. And that alone is saying something. I never leave Newport.

We've been to Harry's many times and they have consistently performed well. This is a great place to bring friends because it has a relaxed atmosphere and is inexpensive. The variety of burgers is good for return trips. The alcoholic milkshakes may clog your arteries and give you some cavities, but they are life changing! The desserts weren't particularly impressive, and our friends don't drink much so we can't comment on the bar scene. Note: vegetarians should stay away.

What a wonderful meal! Brand new to the area, the Harry's Burger and Bar is a Rhode Island treasure. Open and serving late. The menu was diverse, the portions filling. The drink selection was also widespread. I had a set of chilli burgers with sweet potato fries, which I highly recommend... they were crispy! Everything was packed with flavors. I highly recommend a visit to the new Harry's Burger Bar in Providence.
(5)Alma C.
good idea, poor execution. the burgers just aren't that good.
(2)Neal F.
Love this place. I've only had the pulled pork sliders, and they are fantastic. The beer selection is also great, as is the service. The place has a really cool look to it and is laid back. I bring everyone who comes to Providence here for a quick bite to eat.

Our favorite late night burger joint! I mean, how do you go wrong with a couple of Fungus Among Us sliders (look it up, nay go there and try it!). A little secret we've been utilizing is the downstairs shuffleboard room... if the wait time is too long and we have a couple people, we ask if we can just eat downstairs and it's usually open! There's a bar-table with five or six stools, a shuffleboard(!!), and two TVs. This way we're usually seated immediately and we end up having way more fun. Also, order the chocolate crack (especially if Joel is your waiter, you'll find out).

I've heard good things about this place, but I was not impressed. Maybe it was just that night, but one of our waiters was just really bad. He could have been new. Nonetheless, the other waiter made up for it. What he could not make up for was the hour it took for us to get our meal, which was, as you can imagine, two tiny burgers and fries. I knew the price was too good to be true.
(2)Prachie J.
Amazing little sliders, huge beer selection, cowprint walls, great energy, and chalk to leave a message on the stairwell. Oh, and ridiculously inexpensive. I think its the best value for a meal in Providence, besides Mama Kims.

My friend and I were visiting Providence for the day and we stumbled upon this place. The downstairs is the bar with a some counter seating towards the back. The upstairs has more tables and seats, but we decided to sit downstairs. My friend ordered the black bean burger and fries and I ordered the bacon cheeseburger. The burgers are two little ones (not as small as sliders) but burgers on a roll so they serve two. I thought it was tasty and the meat was cooked just right. My friend liked her black bean burger as well. The fries are just fries. The burgers are good and the prices aren't too bad they range from $4-6. Note there is a lunch special: soda, fries and a cheeseburger for $6. If I'm in the area again, I'd go back.

After being intrigued whenever I drove by the giant cow, I finally found the time to venture over to Harry's Bar and Burger this weekend. I like the idea of the place - it's somewhere better fast food or a family restaurant, without being a pretentious foodie haven. The drinks were... well, the same as drinks you get anywhere. The burgers were good. They weren't some sort of amazing this-is-the-best-burger-ever type of thing, but definitely worth coming back for. The only thing I didn't like about this place was that it's size means the tables are so close together that you feel like you're sharing your dinner with total strangers. That and the very bright lighting in there kills any kind of intimate mood. Overall, great place to go with some friends, maybe not the best date location. If I had a friend who was only in town for a night, I probably wouldn't take them here. However, if they were in town for a couple days, Harry's would almost definitely be on my list of cool local spots to show them.

Burger is pretty small and $8 for a beer? Wtf? They do play good music though.
(3)Tyler M.
Ok, maybe second times a charm. Me and my mate visited this spot again (we were in a bind). Most kitchen's closed at 11pm, it was about 11.15 when we went. The waitress was SOOOO much better this time, she actually paid attention! That was one of the problems I had previously with this restaurant, the waitress was not at all good. I guess it depends on what time of day you go? Anyhow I had a slider with pulled pork and bbq sauce, absolutely delicious! Maybe its the customer service that made the food taste better? I will visit again maybe next weekend before the bar =) (portions are still abit tiny)

3.5 Stars. Came here with my brother for lunch the day before Thanksgiving. Housed in an old building on N. Main St, there is a nice bar area on ground level and a stairway going upstairs lined with blackboard and sidewalk chalk to unleash your creative talents (which for most people seems to be the ability to spell one's name). Upstairs, the ambiance is that of a cheap mom and pop type family restaurant you'd find on the side of the highway in the middle of nowhere. It didn't take me long to figure out that you come to Harry's for beer and burgers. Burgers are "sliders" although they are at least twice the size of what you know from Whitecastle and come 2 per order (with an option for a threesome: a third burger at half the price of an order). I went with a threesome of cheeseburgers, he got a trio of M.O.A.B.s. It's has been noted that how much I like food is directly proportional to how fast I eat it, and I had finished 2 burgers before my brother finished one. I had already strategized how I was going to eat my last burger and poach a M.O.A.B., but my bro launched a pre-emptive strike and offered to trade one of his M.O.A.Bs for my cheeseburger, sensing I was about to go honeybadger on his lunch. The M.O.A.B. by the way, is a juicy, delicious, bite size heart attack in the making with cheese, bacon, mushrooms, and fried onion strings. Needless to say, if I have to mention something 4 times in a review in all caps, you'll want to order it.

Best Burgers in town!
(5)Fancy F.
My hubby's favorite when craving a burger out! :) Awesome sliders and great beer selection. Limited seating and always packed, so expect to wait for a table. We have come here with our baby during dinner time, and were comfortably accommodated and given a highchair.
(5)Mike B.
Took my 2 sons, 16 & 21....who each appreciate a good burger These exceeded our high expectations Ordered (3) each and shared Classic is simple and, I think, the tastiest Downside was the beer $ I ordered (2) Goose Island drafts...that will be $17....steep..even more so for what turned out to be a 10oz pull! I questioned the server and got the how dare you ? me stare...throw in a can of sprite and I was $20 pourer and certainly not pleased. The unnecessary of level of beer pretentiousness did not ruin the trip, but I will remember
(3)Joanna R.
This restaurant seems to do things in miniature- tiny dining area, petite burgers, slender fries. I think the quirkiness adds to the charm. However, the tables are crowded together a little to close for my liking and the bathroom is practically next to the kitchen. Moving on... the burgers are actually sliders and each order comes with two and fries are an additional charge. I particularly like the Fungus Among Us- cheese, portobello mushrooms and truffle aioli. Each slider can probably fit in your hand easily so it's quiet manageable. My dining companions in the past have ordered with no complaints the MOAB (mother of all burgers), pig pile burger, and Harry's Meltdown. Even though the fries cost extra, you should get them plus the special sauces. Harry's has a great selection of beers on tap. Not many places have Old Speckled Hen and it surely is a treat to see it on tap nonetheless!
(4)Heather W.
It looks like I am in the minority here when it comes to Harry's. My friend and I checked the place out and I have to say it did not meet my expectations. I have heard great things about it but was less than impressed. It may have been that my seat was directly next to the bathroom which is never appetizing when you are eating but it mainly was the food. The sliders while I love a good slider practically bled at me. That was a bit alarming. The fries were OK but again nothing to write home about. The beer selection was fantastic, while we did not partake we looked and it is a great selection. I would like to say I will check them out again but I don't think I will.
(2)Danny C.
A lot of people near me like their burgers but I personally have tasted burgers that are better and personally Harry's burgers are too greasy for me..not really of big fan of greasy food.. I think Luxe burgers are better because you can customize the burgers to how you want it to be-
(2)Robin S.
I gave Harry's 4 stars, and I don't even like burgers, so that should tell ya something. I went with a group of hungry friends. We sat down, and I immediately ordered a beer (which was a task in and of itself - the list is extensive)! I love a place that A) serves a wide selection of beer, and B) has both the price and alcohol content listed in a nice lil spreadsheet for me to compare/contrast. Like I said, I don't eat burgers. BUT the sweet potato fries (which usually aren't even my thang) were fantastical. THey come with this green dipping sauce that was really something else. It was great. Never putting those guys in honey mustard again. Also, I got an AMAZING ice cream sandwich there. Split it with a friend, it's probably 2x the size of a chipwich, and about 10x as good. It's on two crispy fresh baked cookies nommmnomm and the ice cream was great. I took a star off cause it took like FOREVER for our food to come, but at leaste I had a nice cold beer to apease me.

Our waitress really made the evening a wonderful experience -- she was funny, super-attentive, and made sure our drinks stayed full the entire night. She even noticed that our table was wobbling and put some napkins under the table leg for us! I'm not a huge fan of sliders so I don't think I would order burgers here again. Next time I'll try another item on the menu. Sweet potato fries were good though!
(4)Lyndsy F.
Best burgers in Providence at a great price. I've had the Crunch burger, the MOAB burger and the pastrami burger, none have disappointed. Also the cheese-fries are great! the only dessert I've had is the chocolate chip cookie sandwich, which was big enough to split! A few craft beers on tap, which rotate. Also, half off burgers from 3-5 pm!
(5)Andy G.
Oh Harry's. This is a sweet little burger joint situated in a hip section of N. Main. Let's get this out of the way right now: for the purists, Harry's offers a slider/hamburger par excellence. The bun is melt-in-your-mouth buttery and soft and the burger itself is a perfect combination of juicy and succulent. Simply put, for hamburgers, there is Harry's and there is everyone else. Even highly regarded places like NYC's Shake Shack could learn a thing or two from this burger nirvana. Wait, did I read that you get two of these slider-sized masterpieces for less than $7? I may be dreaming. Aside from the kickin burger, Harry's beer selection is quite satisfactory. Their salt and pepper fries are also so good they almost deserve a section of their own: when made right (which is the majority of the time), they are a wonderful blend of crispiness and saltiness. So why not 5 stars? Well, this is a restaurant/bar and other things such as service and ambience do count. The bar area is too cramped for it to be a great group location and the scarcity of TVs means you probably won't come here to catch the game. Also, even with the relatively small seating areas, service can be frustratingly slow and (in my experience) while they haven't been rude, they also haven't been especially friendly even to regulars. But now I'm being nit-picky. End story: come for the burger. come for the burger. come for the burger, and maybe the beer. leave happy. *there's a pretty sweet hamburger happy hour deal too
(4)Peter L.
Amazing first time experience. If my friends and I was not in a hurry we would not be impatient about the service. Came into this place when the 1/2 off sliders and others was taking place and was greeted to some pretty good sliders. I mean I was not happy about 4 sliders and wanted to get more. Even when half-off I still feel like we should pay full price for those delicious things. i did not try anything else on the menu that day but I will come back!
(5)Rebecca Z.
This place is just okay. I had the fungus amongus sliders and they were alright...perhaps I didn't order enough or go with enough people because my meal was not particularly filling. It's pretty crowded on weekends and friday nights and such, so be prepared to wait. Other times it's pretty empty, but the service is pretty slow. Perhaps I just didn't do things right to have a better experience? But I'm not sure i would go again.

Harry's Burger bar is a hip place to go for sliders and beer. If you are looking for the place, there's giant statue of a cow on the sidewalk. Parking can be a bit cumbersome, so be prepared to do a little walking or doing valet. I like HBB because there's ample space (2 floors), it's clean, there's a cool vibe, and food/prices are decent. I'm giving it 3 starts because it's just middle of the road. It's not good, it's not bad. The service is inconsistent and I guess I'm looking for something really WOW the crap out me, but after 3 tries, it's just a good place.
(3)Jordan H.
First off, the fact that Harry's Burger Bar is even open until 2 AM in the morning is an impressive feat all in itself (as everything in Providence seems to close before 9) I came to Harry's in a g roup of 3. I found the atmosphere not as open as I would have liked it to be; in fact, it was pretty cramped and not that comfortable to sit in, or at least where I was seated. My group ordered Mushroom Burgers and Sweet Potato Fries. I thought the burger (or burgers because they give us two mini ones) was pretty delicious. Not the most filling burger, but it leaves you very satisfied. I really enjoyed the dip for theSweet Potato Fries. It was a very unique and refreshing flavor. Price was tolerable. Would come again.
(4)Cristy R.
I'm quite a fan of the Chow Fun Food Group, but I must say, that the service I received on Sunday night at Harry's Burger Bar was beyond disappointing. Our party of 5 was seated upstairs at around 8:15pm. The waitress - whose name I can't tell you because she didn't bother to introduce herself - seemed less than thrilled to be waiting on us. She stood nearby as we wondered aloud if the burgers came with fries or if those had to be ordered separately. Did she provide some insight for us? Clearly not. We ordered our food. When she returned with our meals, she asked "do you need any forks, ketchup or anything?" while she WALKED INTO THE OTHER ROOM. Nothing like hosting a travelling conversation with yourself. I ordered the Pig Pile Burger. The burger was rather too pink for my liking; I enjoy my burgers medium well. She never did ask me how I wanted my burger - is this the common practice at Harry's? I would have told her what I thought about my burger, but she never once came and asked us how our food was nor did she ask us if we wanted any more drinks. She came back upstairs to clear our plates. At this point she finally asked us if we wanted another drink, but seeing as how we were clearly inconveniencing her, we politely declined. Still she did not ask us how the meal was. She dropped the bill and scurried off. We waited for her return....and waited some more. Finally, my friend looked up the number to Harry's Burger Bar and called to ask if someone could please send the waitress upstairs. The waitress returned laughing,"Did you really just call here?" Yes, we really did and no, you shouldn't be laughing. What disturbs me the most is that the owner, Harry, came upstairs at least twice to go into a closet. He did not come over either to ask as how we - the only table upstairs - were doing. PLEASE NOTE::I sent the above in an email via the web AND one via email on March 22. Still no reply from anyone. Disappointing.
(2)Stephanie P.
Let me say, I do not go here for the service. I go here because the burgers and fries are great! Every time I have been, service is slow and typically unfriendly. I am from the south so that tends to keep me from going back, but I don't think Harry's is a place that things like that matter so much. When I go here, I just want to eat a good burger (I always get the bacon cheeseburger) and fries. I don't want to chit chat with my waitress, but I would like her to check up on drinks, silverware, etc. We like going around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, it usually isn't busy around this time, so service is a least a little better.
