T Stands For Wild About Harry's

Before heading out to run errands, we stopped at the bank to get cash. We were near Harry's restaurant and decided to give it another try. We had tried to eat here on Ash Wednesday, but the parking lot was so full we couldn't get in. I wasn't so sure we'd be able to get in on a Friday during Lent, either.

The parking lot was full, but there were parking spaces. Promising. Inside the diner, a waitress cheerily told us we could seat ourselves anywhere we liked. There was a booth open and seats at the counter. We took the booth.

Harry's is a diner and according to their website decorated in "vinyl galore". There are all sorts of fun and quirky posters illustrating menu items.

When I'm at Harry's my go to beverage is a Raspberry Lime Rickey, a nod to my MIL who introduced me to the beverage. I hesitated about ordering a large size. Not sure I'd be able to finish, but the waitress made it in a To Go cup.

I also had a cup of clam chowder. Himself had the lobster bisque and a Coke which I forgot to take a picture of.

Our waitress allowed me to take a picture of the back of her t-shirt with the Harry's clam guy logo. Harry's and fried clams go together. It's not Summer unless we make a stop for Harry's fried clams, and though I was tempted to rush the season, a Lenten Special item caught my eye.

Coconut Fried Shrimp. I love coconut and fried shrimp is the perfect vehicle. The only thing I didn't care for was the Caribbean tartar sauce. I'm sure most people would have found it tasty. It tasted like a spicy version of Thousand Island dressing. I don't like Thousand Island dressing or mayonnaise. I really like the tangy marmalade dipping sauce from Outback with the coconut shrimp. Still the shrimp were fried to golden perfection. Harry's batter is a bit of fried Heaven and doesn't need a sauce.

Himself had the baked Shrimp and Scallops with a mashed potato and gravy.

I was hoping Whoopie Pies would be on the dessert menu, but sadly they were not. Still a delicious lunch with leftovers.

The only downside of Harry's is the business is cash only. No credit or debit cards. There is an ATM machine in the restaurant if you need to get cash. I'm cheap and don't like  getting whacked with usurous fees from two banks to get at my own money. This time, we had cash.
