For all the "gourmet" burger establishments that have cropped up over the years, Harry's stands the test of time. Mind you, the burgers here would not be considered gourmet by so-called burger aficionados, but put any $12 blinged out burger in the ring with Harry's flagship homeburger ($6) and the bling will get knocked the eff out. Every. Single. Time.
Harry's homeburgers go back to the fundamentals of burgery goodness: one well-seasoned homemade beef patty charbroiled on the grill, loads of fresh veg toppings and your standard condiments of ketchup, mustard, relish and mayo. No caramelized this or funky cheese that. Think of this of the grassroots burger that reminds you why you fell in love with burgers in the first place.
Oh, and the homefries and gravy. I lived on these when I was in high school. Lunch cravings or post-volleyball practice hunger pains were satisfied by sprinting across Lawrence Ave. for a $2 plus tax box of freshly cooked, thick-cut homefries and thick gravy. I still think about those fries to this day and if ever I get an unrelenting craving for real fries, I'll make that trip out to Harry's for a box.
It doesn't get better than Harry's homeburgers and homefries.
