   The food was good but not great. The old fashions were served in tiny glasses and had orange slices rather than peel. Not a craft cocktail for $15. The bar area where we ate was good but nothing spectacular. They need a bar menu though. They do have 3 hamburger options but nothing more. Overall it was no wonder that we could get a table on a Saturday night.

   This is the fifth year we’ve chosen Harry Carey’s for Thanksgiving dinner. It wasn’t bad, but this was the least favorite experience. The food and service were okay, but not the very good or exceptional experiences we’ve had in the past. The service was just okay, too. I’ll have to think about whether to return next year.

   Had a 615pm reservation. Did get seated right away , ordered taken with 5-10min, got drinks then nothing . Had to look for server to ask about our food. Then someone came to tell us our food is coming in another 10-15 min which was unacceptable since we already waited 45 minutes. Then they got our side order wrong and waited another 10 min. By then our appetite was gone. Granted it was busy but to forget a customer is inexcusable. Our waiter finally came back with the excuse our order was piled under a big order, still they should had check us seeing everyone was almost finish eating around us and we still had no food. Chi water refill nobody ask if we wanted another drink.

   Food was not very good, not much flavor. We have eaten here before and thought it was great, this time not so much. Was disappointed.

   We were a little early for our reservation but were seated by very friendly staff. Our food was delicious and the service excellent. This has been our Thanksgiving Day choice for a number of years now.

   Ian, our server, was fabulous. Food was good, but disappointed they were not serving their brunch menu as described on the website. Nice bar area with big TVs for sports watching.

   The prime rib special was delicious. The chicken piccata and the capitivi with sausage were great too. Roger is a terrific server.

   I’ve been going to this restaurant at this location for years with my family. It’s always been fun. The food has been fantastic and we’ve always had a great time. I guess those days are over. We had a great server, but that’s about the best thing that I can say about our experience. We went to celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary and unfortunately, we were very disappointed in the quality of food. It’s not like anything I’ve experienced there before. It was my husband‘s first time there and he was also disappointed. The amount of money that we spent for what we ordered quite literally didn’t add up. The staff and service was great, but the food was terrible . Here’s hoping that they can turn things around and bring it back up to where the standard used to be. Sadly, we will not be returning anytime soon

    We went here on a Friday night with a 7 pm reservation and restaurant was basically empty. It never got crowded. So the noise level was minimal because no one was there. Given how empty it was, I thought service could have been more attentive, but perhaps they were just letting us take as much time as we needed. My girl had a steak which she enjoyed. Good not great. I had a pork chop which was excellent. Obviously, it's a pretty expensive place. It was nice having it be empty but at the same time, there's something to be said for being at a busy restaurant with a buzz. That definitely was not Harry Carays.
