Harrison’s Speakeasy

Food and atmosphere is fun, cozy and upbeat! Our server tonight was King (King Samual) and what a treat he was - his attitude was fun with quick wit and knowledge of the dishes! He took great care of us! We will be back soon (and will ask for King)!

We had a party of 10. Neat place as far as decor and theme but the experience because of the food and how loud it was made this visit only just fair. Our waitress was good and my drink served in a bathtub with a rubber duck was a fun start. However I was pretty disappointed with the appetizers.. The Shrimp scampi sauce was runny. The hush puppies were a bit dry and lacking flavor and the calamari was over cooked. 2 of the apps came out and were finished 10 mins before the last one came to the table. I had the speakeasy chicken for dinner with a house salad to start and it was good. My husband had the classic cheeseburger with chips and liked it. The rest of the party didn't have any big complaints. However my son had the ribeye and said it was lacking flavor. My mother in law didn't like the garlic mashed potato but that's more of how they were prepared so that's about preference. The Outdoor area looks fun but we didn't go outside. The bar and lounge areas are inviting and looks nice to possibly hang out in the future if I were to return. Overall I might try it again but it's not at the top of my list.

I've worked in the F&B industry for over 20 years. Who is running this place?! The service is awful. Servers eating, rather stuffing their face on the floor whilst asking another server to run their drinks because they're too busy eating. The bartender can't multi-task to save his life: the bar is dirty & he's throwing food at a server from across the bar. And the food- it's sub par at best. Why?!? There's no restaurants around here! Why can't y'all run a decent restaurant? It should be a shoe in this town! Another restaurant opened by someone that never worked in a restaurant before...SMH.

Cute little spot. Decor was nice, and the menu was pretty large. Drinks are advertised on the menu as having 2 oz pours. So yeah, one will be plenty. The night of my visit, they had music. The singer was well... interesting. It felt like a Saturday night live skit. Food was good and prices very reasonable. For an appetizer had the pretzel bites. The serving size was large. The beer cheese it came with was only ok.

I didn't have high expectations for Harrison's Speakeasy, but I was happily proven wrong. The restaurant itself is well decorated, as the "speakeasy" theme is prevalent. I don't want to spoil what makes the bathrooms unique, but it's definitely something to see. The outdoor area features a large chess set and corn hole. Upon walking in, we were barely greeted by the hostess. She didn't seem like she wanted to be there. On the flip side, our server, Cassandra, was attentive and professional. The lavender martini was my favorite of the 3 drinks I tasted. The metro parkway was well made. The bathtub gin had a strong ginger taste, but went down nonetheless... and yes, you get to keep the rubber duck.As for the food, everything I tasted was somewhere between above average and amazing. The pretzel bites and pineapple baked brie cheese were both pretty good. The blackberry, basil, and ricotta pizza was to die for. It was honestly one of the best pizzas I've had locally. Both the Harrison burger and mac & cheese chicken sandwich are worth ordering. I did prefer the burger over the chicken sandwich. The orecchiette pasta's presentation and flavor were equally impressive. The fish and chips were good, and didn't have that typical frozen look to them. However, the portion size was a little disappointing. Of the 3 desserts I tasted, the chocolate lava cake was my favorite. Both the cheese cake and the pistachio & ricotta cake were good, as well. This wasn't the best restaurant I've ever been to, but it's easily one of the best I've been to on Jefferson.

Came here to try something new. I ordered a very strong tequila cocktail. Be forewarned, they do 2oz pours. The pretzel bites were good, not a fan of the cheese dip. I did enjoy the fish and chips. Overall, the food was decent. The reason for the 3/5 stars was the live music, and the hostess and server were on their phones a lot and seemed like they were in a bad mood. Parking was easy, no issues there.

So there's an up charge to get a carrot ginger side salad. Bitter lettuce, limp pile of shredded carrots and a dressing that is creamy with no ginger. Disgusting! The calamari is not bad. I would get that again. Frozen bagged vegetables as a side. Again yuck! The butter baked cod is definitely not baked with butter. No flavor other than the capers and scallions with another cream sauce. Cream is not flavor! Herb, spices, and caramelization are. The lamb was good according to my partner. Mine was bad enough that I ate a small amount and left the rest. Our waiter as nice, but he was too busy. I guess there is not enough staff. I like the vibe, but the food falls so short.

This place has such a cool, cozy atmosphere! There are tables, booths, & bar seating but there are also couches with coffee tables for seating. They do have an outdoor area that looks really fun with a life size chess board, but the few times we've been in have been cold or rainy so we usually hangout by the fireplace. Last time, we had their Mac n cheese which was really good but could have use something added like bacon or breadcrumbs for some more texture & flavor. Overall it was still pretty good! The campfire old fashion-ish is super tasty & looks cute with the toasted marshmallow garnish. The brown sugar bourbon espresso martini is a hands down must order every single time because it really is just THAT delicious! The service is always fast & friendly as well!

Hmmmmm how to review this place ? Soooo much potential- 9pm reservation. Hostess was incredibly RUDE- threw down menus- left. Place was nearly empty. Patiently waited 15 minutes. Finally waiter Luke to rescue. He apologized. Took drink order . Had to try the bathtub gin drink. He recommended the speak easy chicken & Cajun pasta. , along with house salad . After long wait entrees came . Luke showed us his slip for salad - never appeared. Dinners tasted very good. If they can go from being totally disorganized- will be a hit place.

First of all....don't miss the bathroom!!! It's fabulous!!Service is fantastic...friendly and fun. They really seem to like working there. The food is so good..lots of items that change all the time, which makes it fun. My steak dinner was perfect. I'll definitely go back to this place!!
