Harry's Old Place

Stopped in at Harry's Old Place in Winter Haven for lunch on New Years Eve. Our server Suzanne is a real pro - handled the entire dining room with a smile. Love the great fish and seafood choices - the fish board says it all. I absolutely love their Onion Loaf just so good, wonderfully seasoned and perfectly cooked. The Seafood Chowder is packed with seafood in a creamy broth that delivers great flavor - just comfort in a bowl. I don't know how you fry fish and seafood better - hot, crispy and tender - includes shrimp, scallops, oysters, clam strips - took half home for lunch today. We split this amazing Florida Orange cake which is a new guilty pleasure of mine. Going for lunch is a great way to avoid the crowds but still get a great meal. Give it a try and you will not be disappointed.

On January 24, 2026 we held our wedding dinner at Harry's. First, it was given 5 stars by the nearly 50 people in attendance. Cody the manager, worked in every way to please our guest and the staff was absolutely incredible. It's not a huge place, but I couldn't ask for a better experience. Fresh fish, fresh chicken, steaks, and more lined our plates. I have traveled many states and restaurants, (check my reviews) and definitely a top 5 place to eat. Thank you Cody, Harry's, and staff for making our day ending with smiles and full stomachs. I recommend if you ever are in the Winter Haven area...make this a must. Duane and Katarina

We wanted to explore a more local seafood restaurant and something away from tourists. Harry’s delivered on all fronts. It is about 35 minutes from Davenport and Google maps got us there with no issues. The fresh fish is posted on the chalk board and the portions were good. We ordered the fried onion loaf, swordfish, cod and chips and fried shrimp. Everything tasted great. We thought the swordfish was too thin and did not come as a steak cut. The shrimp were great and you can get to choose from two different portion sizes. The cocktails were amazing! The fresh made key lime pie was the best we have had, it was frozen but tart and fluffy at the same time. The hot bread rolls were outstanding and reminded me of my mother’s baking years ago. They have outdoor seating but it didn’t look like i

Suzanne was so attentive and amazing. And the food!!! Gator bites with pimento cheese was so good. I had the amberjack with garlic caper butter, wow was that amazing. My husband had blackened grouper sandwich and that was so good too. Their tartar sauce was Devine.

Harry's Old Place is a quaint nostalgic place nestled on Lake Ned. We started our meal with smoked salmon dip, gator sausage, served with creamy pimento cheese & bbq dipping sauce. The starters were fresh, delicious and packed with flavor. We sipped on ice cold half sweet tea and unsweetened tea and an Arnold Palmer which was served in a 3 cup mason jar. For our main dish, we had the Grouper Special with shrimp, scallops,and crab meat in a garlic butter sauce served with new potatoes and savory cheese grits. We also tried the Corvino Monterey with artichokes hearts, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic white wine sauce and parmesan cheese that was coupled with seasonal vegetables and rice pilaf. For dessert, we had the salted caramel cheesecake and key lime pie. Overall, everything
