Harriets Restaurant in North East Lincolnshire

Called in for a late lunch and opted for braised beef. Was served with veg and mash, (chips and roasts available). Huge portion, piping hot, and best gravy I've tasted. Looking at other diner's meals, I'd definitely recommend.

Thought would try this for a quick weekend breakfast given all of the high ratings in Google reviews. Honestly… I just don’t get why this place is highly rated. If you like a very typical seaside ‘greasy spoon’ style cafe, then this is the place. We did nearly leave after taking our seat but gave it the benefit of the doubt. Staff were very pleasant and chatty with customers. The cafe itself is very dated/old fashioned and grubby. The food we could see is cooked in large old pans and what appears to be mostly in oil, even the mushrooms were deep dipped. Cheap and cheerful but far from good quality, we were both unwell later that day and the next. Really sorry and had hoped to be kinder and reviewed more positively.

Excellent food delicious fresh and hot . The service was exceptional and well worth the visit from Cyprus . 🇨🇾 highly recommended and excellent value for money .

Great Food. Great price's and very Great service and staff All food made as you order and hot when you get it Thanks Melvin and Susan

This has fast become our go to place for breakfast. Home cooked as you wait. Very reasonable prices, dog free so hygiene is priority. Lunches fabulous too. We go as a couple or on our own. Popular with regular clientele. A true gem

We went for breakfast and was given a menu, we looked and everything was so cheap! We both got an English breakfast at £5, my granddaughter was given the option of a soft drink instead of tea or coffee. The food didn't take long and it was AMAZING! The customer service was top notch, very friendly and kind. Would 100% recommend.

Very nice food and we did not spend a lot at all. we were well fed and the staff are just so lovely. we will return when next back in the area and we say a huge thank you to such a lovely Town and seaside area

Lovely small old fashioned restaurant with good old fashioned customer service. The food is very tasty, plentiful and very reasably priced. I had a beef roast and the beef was incredibly tender and there was so much of it! It was all delicious. My partner had the vegetarian curry which he really enjoyed too. Even our drinks were very good.Everything was lovely and hot and we didn't have to wait long at all, the lady who served us was very pleasant and friendly, we will definitely be back.

Excellent cafe well prepared home made food clean courteous pots of tea not just cups excellent roast and pie plus sweets and tea for under twenty four pounds better value and food than across the road at Wetherspoons please visit you won’t be disappointed

Really nice to go back to a ‘traditional’ cafe rather than the fancy modern ones that are popping up. We did go a bit later on in the afternoon so shouldn’t have expected everything to be available but there wasn’t much left available that was on the menu. If we’d known before we sat down and tried to order we probably would have gone elsewhere however what we did eventually order was really nice and I’d definitely go back but earlier in the day.

We chose to come to this cafe from great reviews.. Visited 23/03/23 we went for breakfast, and are tourists to the area, and staying at one of the local campsites! Our visit was of 2 adults and 2 children, 2 x full breakfast and 2x sausage, hash brown and beans.. food came and served great, hot and just as requested!! And all for £23 fantastic! ALTHOUGH Half way through our meal a customer (elderly male on own) had enjoyed his breakfast and left the cafe.. a couple of minutes later the staff realised/thought he’d left without paying.. one of the staff members left the cafe and then returned with the elderly gentleman, he seemed confused as to being questioned on the non payment and proceeded to protest his innocence and insist he did pay the £5 owed… This then lead to the gentleman being completely embarrassed as this was not a quiet discussion.. another customer then got involved as he was witness to this customer paying and agreed that the gentlemen had paid! He then even tried to explain the reason as to why there wasn’t a five pound note in the till was because he was given it as his change to which the staff member refused to accept this… her words were that she doesn’t believe that he paid but she’s not falling out over £5, she’s too busy for this and walked off and went back into the kitchen and remained there!… This customer to me seemed as though he is a regular customer and eats at this cafe ‘week in week out’!!! I DO HOPE THAT WHEN YOU CASH UP YOUR TILL TONIGHT AND SEE THAT YOU ARE NOT £5 DOWN FOR THE BREAKFAST YOU INSISTED THIS POOR MAN HADN'T PAID FOR THE NEXT TIME HE VISITS THEN HIS BREAKFAST IS ON YOU!!!!!!!! Unfortunately I do believe that the customer will return as I say I feel he is a regular.. but I and anyone I know will be told to avoid this place like the plague… you definitely need to respect your customer more especially your regular customers!!!!

After being let down by another local establishment despite a booking, Harriets was more than happy to cater for our party of 12 for a Sunday breakfast. Hats off to the lady running the cafe, on her own, for us all as well as other customers already there. Nothing was too much, and all served with a smile. Thank you Harriets!

Good food. Big choice menu, breakfast, lunch, dinners, snacks or relaxing coffee. Lovely ladies, nothing too much trouble. Always come here when visiting Cleethorpes.

It’s a while since we visited this lovely little gem. The food is just such good quality. Very tasty and there is a really good selection of foods to choose from. The price is great value and out grandchildren were well catered for. The only problem is getting a seat as it’s such a popular little place. I would recommend Harriet’s to anyone visiting Cleethorpes who wants something different to the usual fish and chips

Amazing staff the lady was spot on with service and friendliness really lovely young lady very very friendly attentive polite. Fabulous clean tidy really outstanding service drinks very reasonable priced I cant wait to come back here definitely recommend 5 stars service 10 out of 10 for clean tidy cafe right in cleethropes town center really good clean loos. Cuppa tea coffee amazing really cant say any more I would come back here. Lovely lovely young lady very happy and bubbly just spot on well done definitely would come back here soon

My cousin lives in cleethorpes and recommended this lovely eating place very friendly staff who knew all the locals we had a full English breakfast with proper tomatoes out of tin not fresh grilled lol we got a massive pot of tea which was lovely and the price is so cheap 950 for 2 full breakfast and a big pot of tea will call again thankyou x

Lovely Staff, Pot of Tea was just enough, Nothing was to much trouble for any of the girls there .Attention was on 100 & point of call.

Called in for breakfast. Friendly service, not the poshest food, noticed waitress knew the names of people coming in who seem to go there for wholesome hot meal which is nice to see I would ditch the net curtains, gives cafe an old fashioned appearance

We went midweek on the the "eat out to help out" scheme. brilliant home cooked food. Massive portions, excellent friendly service, Defo will be going back top notch!!

The food is traditional home made and delicious Served be lovely friendly staff and very welcoming Sunday lunch is amazing value Breakfast to set you up for the day

Jane does some of the best value food in Cleethorpes and all cooked to a excellent standard Sunday lunch only £4.80 plus puddings at bargain prices,good home cooking

i have been in harriets many many times now and you just cant stop going the food is allways spot on served with a smile and the staff are always welcoming me and the wife love it sunday dinners is the best around and i always have the gammon and its cooked to perfection prices are great and we always leave a tip they deserve it having to put up with someone like me lol but you can have a laught and good old bannter give this place a try you will not regret it

We go regularly to the restaurant which serves good food at very reasonable prices. From breakfast to lunch meals everything is fresh, well served and a great atmosphere. The staff are friendly and give a bit of banter to the regular customers. If you want a breakfast or lunch at a weekend it's best to book

A few of us visited this restaurant for breakfast in December. Although it is not very spacious the staff were able to accommodate us comfortably. We all had full english breakfast which was very excellent. Hot and well cooked. the staff were very friendly and the service very efficient. Well worth the visit.

steak pie is not a pie at all its just gravy with beef in and a bit of puff pastry placed on top, veg of poor quality.Lasagne poor quality as is the turkey dinner. You get what you pay for and this is so true cheap price cheap food.It could also do with a good clean & update decor. The Gents toilet is disgusting with paint & plaster coming off the walls.We were looking forward to this due to other reviews we read, big mistake.

I popped in late one afternoon as i was feeling light headed from not eating. I was greeted by a very polite young lady, who swiftly took my order. After a short wait the smell of bacon hit me! then the food was placed on the table along with a mug off coffee. Well for a small local cafe these ladies sure know how to cooked and serve food to a very high standard. Well worth a visit!! Simply the freshest home cooked food ever!!

me and my wife been here and many visits and the place is fantastic the food is home cooked to perfection the staff always make you feel welcome with a smile no matter how busy they are there always happy to see everybody on this visit i had the gamon with chips 2 eggs pinapple and it was cooked perfect the wife had i can remember what she had sorry but she loved it aswell you can not go wrong by going in to this place as you will not be disapointed

Food was lovely, solely on food would have been a 5, proper homemade and lots of flavour, however the place is dated and slightly unwelcoming and when I visited found it to not be the cleanest

Great breakfast, plenty of choice and it was cooked fresh. All in all very well worth the money. Friendly and homely.

Harriet’s is your typical family run seaside restaurant. The food is so delicious and reasonable. Nothing fancy just good home cooking,lovely.

This without doubt is the best value restaurant in Cleethorpes yesterday i had cottage pie with all the trimmings and it was excellent you even get a gravy boat with proper gravy with steak in it

me and the wife called in to this little place today for the first time it was just like a cafe should be small and friendly we sat down a member of staff gave our menus and we ordered the sunday roasts beef with all the trimmings plenty of gravey and meat a yorkshire pudding and veg and potatos came in a diffrent bowl so you could put as much on your plate instead of been over powered with a lot on your plate very polite and service with a smile we would recomend this for sunday lunch will defo try other foods next time we go back

The fact that this small restaurant was nearly full on a cold winter's day and on a Monday lunch, says a lot! Service was prompt and friendly. The food is homemade, reasonably priced and really tasty. My partner had steak pie, and he pronounced the steak to be as tender as any he'd tasted (with really tasty gravy)! I has sausage and mince which was accompanied by chips done just as I like them and lots of veg served in a separate dish. Again, really tasty and great value! Sadly, we were too full for the homemade desserts..next time? Do give this place a try when in Cleethorpes!

Called for lunch, hadn't been for a few years so wasn't sure if it was as good as I remebered. We both had steak pie, 4 veg & mashed potato, excellent pie with a great flaky pastry crust. Meal was freshly repaired, hot and very tasty. Plenty of food served by friendly staff (they even remembered my name from a few years ago) with a great pot of fresh brewed tea in a proper teapot. Had apple crumble and custard to follow, hot and very tasty. Portion size of everything was great but price was less than I thought it would be

We called in for breakfast, very welcoming environment and staff. The food was very reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. Our second visit and would definitely return.

Really good home cooked food. Will definitely be going back again and taking my family and mates. Coffee is excellent

Only came in here for drinks - a pot of tea for two - £1.80 - BARGAIN! The food looked lovely and very reasonably priced. Staff efficient and friendly.

Mi esposa y yo hicimos la madre, en derecho, a una cena en el Café asado los domingos el domingo 5 de harriets de marzo. Es una pequeña cafetería, así que tuvimos que reservar para asegurarse una mesa. Me alegro de haberlo hecho, era precioso. Habíamos visto el tamaño de las comidas en la mesa de al lado, así que ninguno de nosotros tenía un arranque. Los 3 de nosotros tuvimos carne asada con 3 verduras. asado y patata puré con budín de Yorkshire. había demasiada carne para mi esposa y madre, en la ley, para comer, así que me tuve que comer por ellos. Debido a esto no pude un flan. A las 4 - 99 me pareció que valía la pena.

We wanted to give the divine smelling Sunday lunches a try. It was very busy and popular with oaps mainly who reserve their tables, so it can be hard to get a table. Lovely food though and not too expensive

Harriets restaurant is a very friendly establishment which serves a great range of food at amazing prices. The choice of food was great - we don't eat meat but found it hard to decide what to choose as there were so many options. The scampi...

Este lugar es muy amable y nos pareció excelente relación calidad-precio para el almuerzo! Servicio con una sonrisa! Tuvimos recién hecho café, 2 gambas y patatas fritas (abundante! ). Ambos deliciosos. Otro tenía una torta de carne, descrito como "Tender". meltingly ¡volveremos! A un precio muy razonable, pero una advertencia. . Llevar efectivo para pagar. Hay máquina (aunque un cajero automático convenientemente fuera! )

Este pequeño lugar hecho mi día! La señora fue muy amable, la comida era deliciosa. Gran descubrimiento y sin duda volveremos

Excelente y muy buena relación calidad-precio - desayuno al otro lado de la carretera desde Wetherspoon y ofrece mejor relación calidad-precio! Personal muy amable, bien merece una visita para un buen desayuno inglés y asados.

I have visited this little restaurant many times over the last decade and have always found it an exceptional place to eat. We went about 2 weeks ago and booked for Sunday lunch. We had starters and a main course. The quality and choice of food was excellent and we all enjoyed our meals. The staff are very friendly and efficient and the prices are very reasonable. Whenever we go to cleethorpes - we will continue to pay this lovely little eatery a visit.

Great little old fashioned tea room. Good breakfast and lunches. Great staff. Clean, tidy, well presented. Very efficient when the number of patrons are taken into account.

Lovely place food is very good and staff polite and friendly prices are very reasonable highly recommend

great home made food in a traditional seaside café always made to feel welcome if you want sunday lunch try to book as it is always busy

Good home made food - well presented. Nice atmosphere with lots of Local people who are "regulars" - it speaks for itself.

Visited twice while on holiday great service freshly cooked. Good value for money. Lovely friendly polite staff. Recommed by my sister in law last year. Willcall again in future.

Great place for a meal and a cuppa, she fitted us in amongst the regulars. It is said that wherever you go in the world, eat where the locals do. They seem to love the place and it has a turnover of covers and is age friendly. Great staff.

My sister in law and I go out for lunch every Friday. Today,being yet another Friday, we decided to go to Harriets. What a brilliant idea this was!! I had the most amazing, tasty braising steak with gorgeous home made chips and peas. My sister in law had steak pie which,she said, just melted with roast potatoes and beautifully cooked veg. We were too full for a pudding although there were lots of delights on offer. We relaxed with some delicious coffee. The owner gave personal service to her customers and to one elderly lady who needed looking after, she was very caring and considerate and having a bit of fun with her too. The lady left in a taxi (which the staff ordered for her) with the biggest smile on her face. Her visit had obviosly made her day and it was a delight to see. The premises are spotless and the decoration and design is stunning,making the restaurant very comfortable to be in. Can't wait to go again!!

This place is so popular that we considered ourselves lucky to get in for lunch last week while on holiday in the area. Lots of regulars, so that's a good indication. I had a roast pork dinner and my husband had meat pie dinner. Both meals were delicious, beautifully cooked, tender meat and plenty of veg at prices which I think would be difficult to beat. The only thing I think could improve it would be to have some larger tables to accommodate families with children, because it is a bit of squeeze if more than two at a table. We went here a few years ago with 2 children and it was a bit of a balancing act!

we were in cleethorpes in our motorhome & deciced to have breakfast out one morning. Got off the bus from our caravan site outside Harriet's restaurant & saw menu in the window with really good choice of meals for all tastes. Had english breakfast with tea, small side table provided so your main meal table not over crowded. old world charm we thought had been forgotten. it was getting near lunch time and some people had roast dinners. They looked very tastie so when we were leaving town we had breakfast again and ordered two roast dinners on our own plates that we took in with us to have in the evening at our next stop.don't miss Harriet's if your in cleethorpes.

We first visited Harriet's a decade or more ago, and recall it being a smart little place comparable to The Larder in Grimsby. Not snooty, but smart and clean with decent food. Over the last few years it has got progressively worse, becoming more and more shabby, unclean and unpleasant to visit.There are one or two Pros, so I'll start with those:Situated in the middle of the High Street, Harriet's is well placed to visit. Price-wise, it is also perfectly reasonable.Now the Cons.The place is in a state of decay, with menus peeling and browning, furniture becoming increasingly rickety and and crockery such as cups and plates turning up on tables with dirty cracks. This latter point is especially galling when you go to take a sip of tea and find your mouth has just come in contact with a filthy crevice in the glazing. How much are cups wholesale? Get new ones, don't give customers disgusting cups and mugs.Staff are fawning all over you one minute being awkwardly pleasant, then the next they are barking at you for asking to be served, complaining about being "rushed off their feet", tripping over you, telling you off for complaining, and being generally bad tempered. Maybe it would help if they got in more staff if they are so incredibly busy? That would certainly be better than being made to feel that you are putting them out by your presence. Tables are routinely left unwiped, so you are sitting with your food amidst previous customers' food debris and spillages. if you dare complain, well, see above.The quality of food is poor, with supposedly "home made pies" arriving looking pale and anaemic and being very much like something you would pick up from a supermarket's No Frills selection. Everything has a reheated and lardy aftertaste, with the vegetables being cheap, soggy and unappetising and the chips often dried out or limp.The coffee is disgusting and, for me, undrinkable. It tastes burnt.All in all, not a pleasant experience.Having persisted with Harriet's for years, we now go elsewhere.

Excellent food brilliant service and portion sizes great thoroughly enjoyed food all home cooked and fresh veg would certainly recommend this cafe. Prices are very reasonable

took my boy out for brunch he had scambled egg on toast i had a full english waiting quite along time as other people who come in after us 2 different tables got the dinner first which is not on the lady rushed of her feet all time time if she leaved menus on the table and asked people to order at bar pots all over the tables .customer service is a little poor a man commented on that he felt like a naughty school boy sat in there and a old lady who was not well asked if she would go to shop to buy some sweets as the lady replied loud and blunty "well im not going im rushed of my bloody feet " a simple no or ask someone else would of been aprobiate i think the lady needs some manners i would not take my boy as felt like she was very rude .

Family friendly good for older people too good British food nice cuppa gets really full clean cafe friendly staff

have been eating here now for 7 plus years every sunday lunch same table same time what does that tell you ? it must be good well yes it is . lovely food service beautiful staff great place

We came here because it happened to be by the bus stop but it turned out to be a good choice. There was one woman working there who was kept very busy with a mix of regulars (always a good sign) and walk-ins. We opted for the breakfast as it was still morning; it was freshly cooked, well cooked (crispy hash browns), hot and tasty and good value for the price. And the coffee included was good too - not cheap, weak instant rubbish. All in all a very good deal

Meat pies were good! Friendly and welcoming staff. Didn't have to wait long. Would go again!Would try the Lasagne next time as it looked good!

A nice little place for a meal,good food,but don't like glass covered tables and the chairs are a little uncomfortable.staff are good at what they do and meals are like 'home cooking'.

My wife and I travel from Doncaster to harriets restaurant for our dinner simply because of the standard of food and sevice provided. Value for money and propper chips.cannot fault anything at all. Well done and see you soon for another fantastic dinner.

A good home cooked variety lovely dishes. The staff are efficient and helpful. The food is well cooked with ample portions. I like to reserve a table to make sure I get a table.
