The Harbor Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Louisiana

It was real late and nothing else was open. They still had a few hours till closing, so we stopped in. First we had no idea where to go when we got there. We went in one door and just walked around the place till we found some workers behind a counter. Then the guy that was at the counter said he really was too busy to take our order could we go order somewhere else. We explained we saw no one else in the place. He sighed and took our order. We weren't sure where to go after that, so we just sat near the counter area. Then some drunk at the counter was giving the cook/waiter a hard time, so I kinda sympathized with the cook/waiter. A waitress brought our drinks (water and coke) after a while. This was the only time we saw her. After a good while had passed, we got our food. When it came out, it looked like bland, boring cafeteria food. Everything we ordered off our meals was on there. I Ordered a Medium Well hamburger but it was bleeding. Being pregnant and SUPPOSED to be eating well done meat, I had to send it back. The cook agreed that it was raw still and took it back. He offered us a free dessert for everything being so bad and we told him we could see that drunk customer was on his nerves and effecting things. We then not seeing our waitress ever again that night had to ask for drinks. It took a while to get someone's attention for that. The food was subpar, especially for the price and the atmosphere/experience was awful. The classic rock music on the radio and free brownie were the only good things about that night. I'd give it 1 star but I could tell the drunk at the counter was prob the reason half the...

I was truly repulsed by the service of this restaurant on Friday, June 21st. We had noticed the sign that TANK TOPS were not allowed in the restaurant and is one of their rules, (which I totally understand), but we sat outside because we saw a woman being served WHO HAD A TANK TOP ON AS WELL!!!! The waitress approached our table looking at my husband with the tank top on and not even glancing at my sister WHO WAS ALSO IN A TANK TOP!! The waitress told my husband that she was sorry, but no tank tops. We looked at the waitress and she said we can let you wear a shirt, he respectfully declined the offer and proceeded to go elsewhere. As we were getting up to leave another woman sat down at an outside table with a tank top on as well and was offered service! I will follow any establishments rules and policies, but I feel that my husband was treated differently for being a man! That was a very unprofessional and inappropriate decision to only point out my husband (THE ONLY MAN WITH A TANK TOP) I did call the restaurant after we left, I found it better to call and make a complaint instead of being angry at that moment in time and complain in front of my husband and family! I called about 5 minutes later and talked to the manager Teressa. It was as if she was expecting my call, I explained the situation and told her what I just explained and how I understood the policies of the restaurant and I did say that it was sexist of the restaurant to only tell my husband about the no tank top policy, she seemed not to care in any way at all! I will never go back there and will be sure to tell family and friends how my husband...

Vito the bartender is one of the best reasons to go here. I went in years ago and met him briefly. Had a great time. Went back two years later - he greeted me by name.

Let me repeat that - HE GREETED ME BY NAME!?!???!!! Who the HECK can do that??? Vito can. And I'm not an anomaly. He's like that with everyone.

Vito has a few different young female protege's who are friendly and prompt on their own, but must be learning a priceless bar education under his kind, warm, affable tutelage.

The atmosphere is an old bar, but a comfortable one like a fine leather glove that you've had for years but only gets better with every wearing. You've got the main bar, that fits oh so many of my different moods. An outdoor patio for eating, socializing, what have you. A pool table area where I've drawn friends into fun contest where the stakes were fun and high, but doable. (I lost the bet). There is a restaurant area has almost a diner feel, which can be fun in it's own regard and has poker machines.

This place has many faces, all of them good. The food is great - burgers, fries, appetizers, but always good. I can always go for one of their burgers, and you will to.

Now I go back whenever I'm in town. I would challenge anyone, ANYONE who is open and game (and a few who are not) to go there and NOT have a good time. You will be hard pressed to not enjoy yourself.

Like the song says, "If you go there once, you'll be...
