Our first impression(s): I and a group of friends have been going to Harry's for years, and it looks pretty much like a pizza place. Breakfast, I've found, is a surprise to most 20 year veterans of West Hartford.
Sebrah is the waitress you want. She knows the menu, knows what can and cannot be done, and won't take any of your attitude. She will be fun, give you snarky comments back (which my crowd welcomes and invited) and is quick and easy to deal with...she's awesome.
The food is what you'd expect from a diner setting, but has a few 'extra special things and specials' occasionally. Omelets are a standard: asparagus, tomato and gouda make up the 'Harry's Omelet'. It's yummy, but I personally prefer the 'BBC'--bacon, broccoli and cheddar. There is one special treat: when the 'special pizza' menu is on the wall, check out the ingredients and see if it's something you'd like. The bacon, brussel sprout and feta is something to be dreamed about--crispy bacon, sweet brussels and savory feta. They'll offer it in egg whites or beaters too, and it goes down VERY easily.
Pancakes are yummy cake-like, and perfectly cooked. They are big enough to feed a table, so order one at a time. Banana, blueberries, chocolate chips and other 'mix ins' are available.
If you're a typical breakfaster, and prefer eggs, sausage and toast, you'll find it, but the best parts are the interesting choices.
Fruit bowls, sweet crepes, and meats are all available as desired...go for it.
Be prepared for a wait, as Sundays can be quite busy, but earlier than 9:30 isn't a problem. Enjoy it. Singles seated on one side, groups in another. If you're more than 4, plan ahead, but they take no reservations. Enter, sign in, and wait. Coffee is good, too.
Scores (on a scale of 0 (horrifying) to 20 (deliciously awesome and worth every shekel)
Score averages around 14 for deliciousness, and though it can be a teeny bit crowded and noisy, it's consistent and yummy.
