We visited Harry’s BBQ for lunch on Saturday with friends. The food had some bright spots, but the atmosphere unfortunately took away from the experience. The music—very loud, high-intensity “rage” music—was overwhelming both indoors and outside. We asked several times if it could be turned down and were eventually told the bartender controls the volume. It left us feeling unheard as customers and made conversation difficult.
Food-wise, the Fig & Pig pizza was the highlight: great crispy crust and good flavor (though a little more meat would have been nice). My husband’s grilled chicken sandwich, however, was underwhelming with no grill marks or flavor.
Service was efficient, but the overall vibe made the meal less enjoyable, and we likely won’t return unless the music/atmosphere improves.

I love BBQ so we hit Harry’s BBQ last time we were in New Bern. We sat on the patio even though it was cold and were super comfortable. For an app we tried the burnt end hominy
tots. They were larger than the what we expected but were crispy. The burnt ends were good but a little dry. For entrees we tried the pulled pork sandwich, pork belly, house made pastrami, house made sausage and sliced brisket. All were good. Only complaint was I wish it were smokier. The brisket did not have a thick smoke ring like i had hoped. But it was all delicious! The brisket was my favorite. It had a good bark. For sides we tried the cole slaw, onion rings, mac & cheese, and hush puppies. The mac & cheese and onion rings were the best out of that group. The slaw was bland for my liking. Overall great food. Great atmosphere. Definitely worth a second trip back.

First time here under this establishment but familiar with the location. Brisket was fairly good, but not super smokey. But that a personal preference. Juicy and fork tender. Mac n Cheese was outstanding. Milk bread tasted the same as a yeast roll only slightly drier. But it was cut to a Texas Toast thickness and was really good. Tried all the sauce on that table (4), Cheerwine BBQ was the clear winner. Desert was Carrot Cake and was delicious! Both the staff and chef checked on us, but not in an annoying way. Entire staff was on point. Will return again as I need to try their Pulled Pork. Cheers

So.. I give the BBQ 4 out of 5 stars ONLY because I am from Georgia and am not a fan of the heavy vinegar taste here in NC. That is not to say that the food was not good. I started off with a Blake’s Hard Cider and ordered dinner. The hostess and bar tenders were all friendly and accomodating, helping me answer any questions that I had. The pulled pork paired with the Cheerwine sauce quite well, and I liked the small kick of heat it had. The mac & cheese was fantastic, loved the bold cheesy flavors and the large macaroni shells. To top it all off, the banana pudding was just phenomenal. It’s hard to come by good homemade banana pudding at restaraunts, but Harry’s has nailed it. I definitely recommend this spot.

Indoor seating near the window is great for people watching as you enjoy your meal.
The outdoor seating area is phenomenal, especially in the colder months as the outdoor heaters make the open-air space feel so cozy.
As for the food… it’s not bad, but don’t serve a “Chicago Dog” to a Chi-town girl if it’s not legit. We’ll let you know – in our polite, yet “leave no room for misunderstanding” way.

This local spot was recommended, and I am happy I stopped in.
They have indoor and outdoor seating with a great feel. There was music tonight, and it was just what I needed.
The people were friendly, I had a great drink and an amazing fried artichoke appetizer.
I selected the Windy City pizza. Flavorful with a great crust. I had a slice for lunch the next day, and it’s still great.
I have found another great restaurant in Historic downtown.

This would have been a 5 star rating had it not been for the overly salted food, that would have otherwise been excellent. It just over shadowed the cuisine, and totally over powered everything that we ordered. You can always add it to your dish, but you cannot take it away. The ambiance, the staff, the quality of the food absolutely fantastic. The food would stand out on it’s own without the addition of the amount of salt that was in it and would have been 5 star.

We’ve been here several times now and gotten to try a little bit of everything. As is the case at their sister restaurant Cypress Hall, the cocktails are fantastic. We are also big fans of the fritto misto and accompanying lemon aioli.
Recently came back for pizzas and loved the variety of meats and the olive tapenade on the Muffuletta, but we were sorely let down by the lack of clams on the Vongole (photo attached). When you’re paying $60 for 2 pizzas, the least you can ask for is every slice to have some clam on it, right? Instead, it was like eating garlic bread doused in Parmesan with the occasional random clam. I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed (and expected better from an establishment with an otherwise impressive menu).
I will say the staff here are exceptionally nice and friendly. The post-Prohibition remodel is a much-needed facelift and the new outside bar is gorgeous. Just please fix the one annoying crooked 2-top against the wall!
UPDATE 6/23: We came by again and were blown away by the casarecce pasta! Loved the broth and flavors + the added bonus of being served in quality dinnerware that kept the pasta hot throughout the meal. They were trialing soft shell crab on Fridays or something so we got a full crab added to the pasta and I have to say — this is the BEST soft shell crab in town!!! The crab was on the smaller side but the batter was fantastic — just the right amount, lightly seasoned, and fried to a perfect crisp. They’ve really nailed it. Their take on tiramisu is a bit untraditional but it is amazing nonetheless. You’ll be on cloud 9 until the last bit of perfectly sweetened cream!! Highly recommend treating yourself to the tiramisu after!

They have great drinks, great food, and a lovely atmosphere… but it was a 30 minute wait for a table, 10 minute wait for our server to ask about drinks, 30 minutes for an order of fried pickles and an hour after ordering 2 sandwiches (3 other tables of large groups came in 20-30 minutes after us around the time we got the pickles and they all got food before we did). The delay was so horrendous that two parties of four left before they got their food while we were here. Food was DELICIOUS though!!

Collin the manager was great to us as well as his staff. I ordered a smoked turkey for Thanksgiving from the establishment for a dinner I was hosting for USMC. I came in from out of state and Collin was my point of contact for weeks! He didn’t miss a beat and I was able to pick up my turkey with no hiccups! And it was delicious! Thanks Harry’s!
