Harry Fast Food — Restaurant in Tainan

I’m a little surprised at 3 of the first 4 leading reviews for Harry—one 3 years ago, then 2 years ago, and 1 year ago—all pretty darn severe and all seemingly from “westernized” Asians like myself.

I wasn’t even hungry and on my way to a bakery to be open at 9 am. So I took a winding route through “Snail Alley”—really u gotta check out these little young mom and pop’s places lining Tainan’s alleys.

And I stopped at Harry cause—I kid you not—I could feel the warmth and joy and the contentment of customers within.

I ordered a hamburger and egg toastie and for 50 NT .. what were these other reviewers expecting? Hallelujah in a sandwich?

It was damn decent! No question of cleanliness: mom takes money with ungloved hand and picks up food with gloved hand—standard practice.

It’s a family-run joint .. where would they find the money to pay someone? so that mom can lol sit back and just kaching?

Bad attitude? My goodness!! Nothing could be further from truth. Pop was chatting up a regular who joshed about having to wait a bit today and pop wisecracked back “Well, come at 7:30 tomorrow” with a smile.

Mom was exceptionally courteous. They both give me the impression of 2 professionals who gave up the grind to work for themselves and dictate their own hours.

I love the vibe of Harry: I dig mom and pop. The food is darn good for 50 NT. Pick up an iced milk tea to go with ur toastie and check out the cleaver grinder in a hut across the alley.

The endeavour is to find the small and unheralded and defend them against the blight of Michelin-minded bargain hunters.

Harry is good and true. Whether ur a Harry Potter or Harry Brown (Michael Caine is exceptional) fan, come get ur brekkie...

Go there on a week day would be a better choice. We went there on a friday around 10~11 am, and there were only a couple of people, so we got our table in no time. The menu is hanging on the wall so just go ahead and order your meal at the desk.

Its a single person -run place so if you go there on the weekend its probably going to take long time.

We got our food in just 5 minutes, but we also finished them in 5. The food is simply not enough for guys unless you order more than 3 meals.

All in all, its a cute japanese style breakfast burger restaurant in the small alley with three tables and 4 window bar seats. Fair food, no music,...

南巷子內的早餐店「哈利速食」，在台南歷史悠久， 但身為台南人的我也第一次來吃😊😊 因為母愛而開的店，現在媽媽都變成了婆婆了。漢堡肉是手工每天現做，奶茶所帶出茶香的奶味。真的要是像我這年齡，且在台南長大的人 才會了解的懷念味道😍😍 餐點是一份一份手工作，而且只有老闆娘一個人作，所以會很快就大排長龍，想來吃的要有耐心等候。 （PS :...
