Potato Works, Harry J's steak fries covered with melted
cheddar and bacon bits served with sour cream.
If you're stopping by for lunch or prefer a sandwich,
Harry J's has you covered. They offer their charbroiled,
hand-pattied burgers from one-quarter pound to a monstrous
one-pound double cheeseburger. The Buffalo
chicken sandwich features Paul's housemade hot sauce.
One standout sandwich is the Philly steak featuring
thinly sliced rib-eye topped with mushrooms, peppers,
onions and melted provolone on a buttery, toasted bun.
Paul says their Philly is unique because all the ingredients
are stacked, not mixed. " You get a lot more of the individual
Philly fl avors as opposed to a traditional Philly where
everything is combined, " he says. " You can taste the individual
peppers, mushrooms and onions in it as you eat. "
For a heartier appetite, there are plenty of steak,
chicken and seafood options. Filet mignon, rib-eye, porterhouse,
T-bone, strip, sirloin and fl at iron steaks are all
cooked to order to your perfect temperature and served
with your choice of potato and soup, salad or vegetable.
If you're looking for surf instead of turf, the mahi-mahi is
drizzled with housemade bearnaise sauce and the stuffed
sole is fi lled with crabmeat.
In addition to their menu and traditional weekly specials,
Paul runs daily specials depending on what's available
and how adventurous he or his cooks feel. " They come
up with specials to help keep things fresh, so it keeps us
on our toes and it's not the same food every time, " he says.
A recent popular special is the chicken tacos. Two large
fl our tortillas are heated over the open fl ame giving them
just a little bit of texture. Grilled and sliced chicken is
placed inside the tortillas and is topped with lettuce, tomatoes,
cheddar and housemade chipotle ranch. " I wanted
families that are eating out to have an option if they didn't
necessarily want a big steak, " Paul says.
With a commitment to the original steakhouse menu
paired with decor including license plates from across the
world and signs from the old co-op store, Harry J's Steakhouse
is a meal you won't soon forget.
" You can go get a steak at a chain restaurant in a strip
mall, but it's not going to be the same food and family
atmosphere as here, " he says. " It's like walking into an oldtime
store where everyone feels welcome and you're treated
like a regular. "
