Harbor View Cafe

Awesome little American spot. Headed here with family for Sunday brunch.

Service was friendly and prompt. No one at our large group needed anything.

Food was ample and well valued. Recipes could use a little retweaking as felt this wasn't indicative of original intentions.

Very much enjoyed my po' boy paired with local Golden Ale.

Beautiful view of Gulf.

Will be back during next trip to Gulf coast.

Simple and delicious with a good mix of southern staples and unique offerings like Eggplant Fries (my favorite!) good salads sandwiches and they even have a taco night. Also the view is fab.

We came in as a group of people who had been at the funeral of a beloved Mother and friend. The Harbor View did their best at 2:00pm in the afternoon at the end of rush hour and took very good care of our family. Our servers were patient and ran their butts off tending to our group. Our orders came out and the seafood platter's and crab cakes I heard we're fabulous, everyone but me got some type of seafood piled high. I went with the a po-boy that had shrimp and ham mix with chips. Well it was the most sad plate among the piles of sea food on everyone's plates. Prices are agreeable, food tastes good, atmosphere is very pleasant, staff are friendly, and there are drinks and cocktails here too. I will be returning. However don't think I'll go for the Po-Boy again. There was only like 10-12 shrimp on a foot long. 🤔 That being said, everything was great for everyone in our party. ENJOY!

Great menu selections and staff is great! Katie was super friendly and helpful! Very tasty, fresh, homemade sauces and desserts!

Seafood platter you figure atleast one of the three items to be good , unfortunately not . One of the worst meals of my life .burnt oil taste , hard oysters, fish fell apart to small pieces, and not going to talk about shrimp . Was the first time to eat there and definitely the last .

Pretty good place but you can't beat the view. Nestled on a little side street in the quaint town of Long Beach. Overlooks the harbor as well as being able to see Cat Island and Ship Island from the front stoop. Now onto the food. The eggplant fries (appetizer $5.99) were excellent and way better than I expected. It would be better served with real parmesan instead of dried powder parmesan. The remoulade served was good but not what I class as remoulade. It needs some spice (horseradish) as it was very mild. The eggplant fries were much better with the ranch dressing. For lunch my cohort had the Mandarin salad with poppyseed dressing. Her only complaint was the Mandarin oranges were very sour and didn't eat them. For me patty melt. I'm still on the hunt for a good patty melt here in the south. This one was average fare. The burger was a nice size, the cheese wasn't melted like you'd expect. The rye bread was good but seemed to be grilled separately from the patty, cheese and onions. Also definitely too light on the onions and some of the onion was undercooked. Sandwiches are served with chips if you want fries instead it's an upcharge. I did upcharge for fries that were just okay. Definitely frozen and seasoned. Hard to swallow because most home style places here do real fresh fries (not frozen). Total bill for lunch before tip was $28.99. I thought it was pretty pricey. No lunch menu.

We went 2 days in a row it's so good! Great pecan pancakes and breakfast potatoes. Great coffee!

Everything was excellent. Food, service and setting. Even the layout and font on the menu were perfect in my opinion. The attention to detail is obvious throughout and makes for an excellent dining experience.

My family visited this establishment for the first time at the beginning of December when we had family visiting from out of town and we were so impressed! The food was absolutely incredible! We were back in Long Beach today (December 23rd) for an appointment and we wanted to go back for lunch however we knew we wouldn't have time to dine in as the restaurants hours on a Monday are till 3 so we ordered from their menu online to be delivered about 2 blocks down the street. The order said 35-45 minutes which would have been right at about closing time. We ordered our food at 2:20pm and didn't see our food till 4:20pm (I have eyewitnesses!)! All of it went in the trash. It was completely hard and cold, the roast beef was made wrong, The fries didn't have any dressing on them.. The poor delivery woman told us that the staff at the restaurant told us "tell them we closed at 3" so it would seem our food (and to stick it to us) was left sitting on the counter for an hour before they even let the delivery staff know they had an order! Please note this delivery went literally 2 blocks so us waiting 2 hours was absolutely uncalled for and my kids went hungry because of their negligence! The delivery woman was pleasant and apologetic when it wasn't even her to blame. I am disappointed as I had very high hopes for such a nice looking local place especially when we had a decent experience the first visit but $43 was completely wasted all because some young person didn't want to do their job because it was too close to closing time. Apparently 40 minutes till closing is not a good time to place a to go order. I will not be returning here for quite some time. If they would have been open after we received our food I would have marched right up there and got my money back. $43 for old food that was left sitting out that went right in the garbage is absolutely despicable.

Saturday night, no wait time, food was excellent. Our server Katie was the best. I had seafood gumbo, crab cakes and grilled red fish. Outstanding!!
