Harbor House

Came here for the first time last night. My boyfriend and I both ordered the all you can eat since it seemed like a good way to try different menu items. We both ordered the crab legs. It was delicious! Everything was very fresh. The service was great — our waitress continuously checked on us to see if we wanted our next round. Next time I personally will not order the AYCE because I was full after the first round, but there were plenty of entrees that sounded appetizing that I will try instead. Boyfriend ordered multiple rounds of food so AYCE was perfect for him. We will be back!

Bad service. Only one waiter working for a large portion of tables on a busy Saturday night. Ordered a Bloody Mary and it didn’t come as ordered had to send it back. Then ordered the green tomatoes saganaki. They brought us result saganaki and when we asked why we weren’t brought what we ordered we were told «oh we are out of that». That saganaki wasn’t edible.
Never coming back.

This is the «go to» place for fried shrimp for my wife and I. We will stop in before a baseball game and feast on the all you can eat shrimp. The are the plumpest, most perfectly cooked shrimp that I have found in the Detroit area. I have also done the Sunday brunch before a Lion’s game and it was solid as well.
Nice stained glass windows and lamps. Service has always been great. Make sure you feed your parking meter, though

This is a great place. Food is very good. Service is friendly. Stop in and enjoy.

Decent little pub near Comerica Park and Ford Field to get a meal at before the game. More friendly staff than what I’ve previously experienced at other nearby places.

Great place

The restaurant looks a bit dated but we stopped by on a Lions Game and they were able to get us in and out in no time with good food. The service was quick and the food was tasty. I would recommend to anyone looking for American food.

I just went for a quick lunch, but the menu looks pretty awesome. Had butterfly shrimp and they were cooked perfectly. Not tough or rubbery, but as if they were fresh, when I’m not sure that’s the case. Bartender Jeff was super nice, even after he found out I’m a Cardinals fan…

Terrible atmosphere and service. Food sucks too.

Harbor House is my go-​to restaurant for dinner when I’m staying at the Hilton Garden Inn across the street. My favorite meal is the Low-​Country Tilapia with a bowl of Gumbo and a Michigan Salad, but everything I’ve had there has been great. It only matters what you’re in the mood for, even if it is lobster! The kitchen knows it’s stuff and the staff is very friendly and efficient. As a bonus … they have great live entertainment almost every night and the kitchen is open well past 10 pm if that is important to you. Check their website for the entertainment lineup

Great Food, loved it but terrible terrible service. Never had to wait so long for my food. 5 stars for the food and 1 star for service.

My oh my. What can i say but that was by far the worst service i have ever had. While the server was nice he was sooooo swamped that he was completely overwhelmed. They need to add about 5 servers to even to begin to combat the rush. The food on the other was magnificent, a great tribute to sea food. I would like to give this place more stars but both the ambiance and service were just too terrible.

Ah, came here right before a baseball game. It wasn’t all that busy. There were 3 or 4 servers hanging around, but the service was absolutely awful. Some places simply don’t deserve a second chance.
This is a simple seafood and dinner place. It’s not terribly priced, and the food isn’t bad. However, the service was so bad, I couldn’t even consider coming again. Waitress failed to accurately take orders, failed to fill glasses, failed to check up on table, and even failed to bring back correct change. It was wierd. She did this as every table. Frankly, it was so light a single person could wait on us and cook our dinners with good service. Here, they just don’t care. A table beside us had to go up to the bar to get their drinks refilled. The table in front had their orders screwed up. I have worked in a seafood restaurant (and Im not saying that in a snobbish way). It’s not that difficult, especially when there are only 3 – 4 tables that are being served.

I am so glad I gave this place another try. The music was actually really good this time without a cover charge, and we ordered entrees instead of the all you can eat, and the food was great.
We started with the spicy garlic wings which were awesome! I love wings and I try them everywhere, and I’d definitely order these again. We each ordered the Fisherman’s Platter and chose the fried catfish, fried shrimp, and shrimp scampi. Everything was perfect, there was tons of food, and they only cost $ 17.99.
The service was also very good, and the crowd was fun. The kitchen is open until midnight during the week which is a real bonus for me, so we’ll definitely be back! No chain seafood restaurants for us!

Came in with a group of 8 and spent $ 200. They charged us $ 5 «cover» for each person in our party but they didn’t inform us of that fact until we received our bill. I feel this is a dishonest business practice and I will not be back. I won’t comment on the food because it wouldn’t be fair to the kitchen.

Just arrived in Detroit for 3 day conference. Staying at Hilton Garden. I asked front desk person where to eat lunch. She walked to front door and pointed. Asked Danielle what was popular she said Big Fish lunch special… A+. Fantastic batter, good size fish, tartar sauce, exceptionally good cole slaw, with wonderful fries. Asked for hot to order and I got it. A+ fries. Refilled my water. Great service. Yep, you got to try it! Music after 10:00pm with $ 5 cover. I will be back…

Crab legs, ribs, fried green tomato crab cake saganaki stacked appetizer, fried rock shrimp!

This is my go-​to place for lobster mac and cheese. I’ve had lobster mac from many places, but Harbor House has my favorite in the Detroit Metro Area. It’s creamy, luxurious and filled with lobster, with a yummy crispy Panko crust. It’s awesome! I also enjoy their crab cake. It’s well done with big chunks of crab and just enough breadcrumbs to add texture without detracting from the overall composition of telnet cake. As I type this, I’m seriously thinking about going downtown to pick up both of these. Hmmmm, maybe I can convince my hubby to run and get me a carry out.
The service here is usually pretty good and the food is always fresh and hot. They often have live music and the pours are generous. If you haven’t been, now is the chance to try it out.

Came here for a birthday party and left feeling like this should be a 5 star place. they have about 8 beers on tap, about $ 5 a bar (not bad) and actual good live music. As for the food: I had their Garlic Parmesan wings (excellent and it comes with fries) as a starter. For my meal I went with the ribs and steak (both are simply great, ribs are fall off the bone and steak is just great). along with their fries (some of the best fries you are going to have). A lot of people in the party ordered the all you can eat option and that also seemed like a good option because if you pay for one of the high end all you eats, they will let you eat the options that are of lower price also.
Everything here is like i said great, the only reason why they didn’t get 5 stars is service. Now it was a good amount of people in here, but nowhere near packed. The order time was ridiculous with the average wait time for a meal at 2 hours after we order (and some being three). During the time of wait, it was all around bad service by the staff (with the exception of one lady who tried her best, even though she wasn’t the waitress for our group). they didn’t even try at times. Now that’s why they got four stars (really should be 3.5 stars). Great food + Bad Service=eating here at your peril.

I have no complaints about the food here. I’ve dined here several times, and I’ll go back. I just hate to see the establishment responding back to negative reviews in such a tit for tat manor, you can’t please everybody no matter what you do ! Harbor House your supposed to be bigger that, just continue to serve good food and service… leave the petty $h!t alone
