Review Humble Harry's - Fourways

Tijil Jugadoe
Humble Harry’s definitely lives up to its name. Going there I did not expect much, but was blown away by the great portion sizes at reasonable prices, great atmosphere and overall look of the place. I will be visiting again soon!

Consistently up there with the big/expensive names; Consistently - good food, good service, good value for money; always pleasant, always friendly, never rushed, never anything to moan about. And they don't wait for you to ask nicely for a refill of their bottomless coffee. If Cyril would just run the country like a Harry's, we wouldn't mind paying taxes!
Gio Strydom
The service is superb (Odette was wonderful), with delicious, juicy food to go with it! I have never had such tender and juicy chicken breast EVER! Delightful!
Marlene Uys
Good service, friendly staff with a sense of humor. The ribs, chips, and onion rings we had were tender, tasty, and delicious.

Hubble Harry's has always been one of my favorite places to just go for a snack or meal. I moved out of the area but were there on 24th November for breakfast. It felt like home. 👍

I meet with a group of colleagues for breakfast at least once a month at Humble Harry's. Food quality is great and good value. Paul, the owner, is always very friendly and checks on his customers. My only gripe is that the Cuppachino machine does not work during periods of load shedding.

There are few mixed reviews about this place but I've been here twice in the past few days and I'm loving it. The service is really good, they try their best to be attentive. I give the food 5/5 because 1. the portions are really great for the price you pay, 2. Food is very tasty. 3. They have a nice variety of food from, pizza, to pasta, steaks and they serve breakfast. They have specials for everyday of the week even on a Sunday. The best part is they serve breakfast all day and have a mimosa fro R35 :). Book marked as my new fave spot.

June 2023 Humble Harry's provide plug points and you can connect to their wifi Great place to sit and work, and you may just meet interesting neighbors if you choose to talk to them. Great tea, lovely coffee and food that is reasonably priced Come and enjoy a different view and support a local spot 😁👍👍 Low key place to meet people, talk, and enjoy good food prepared well. No pretentions. Just proud to offer decent food and good service. Just what i was looking for

Always a great breakfast spot, and good to see Harry walking around to ensure patrons are well cared for. Looking forward to trying the one at the Buzz Centre. Ok so it’s now 3 years later (Aug20), and Gmaps won’t allow me to do another review, so I’ll add: Dropped in for a breakfast, had to charge devices, our complex power out for a while. Had the Harry Value breakfast, to perfection, tasty, not a thing out of place, and Harry still greeting his guests - consistently good service and value. Thank you, and may the Lord continue to bless Harry.

Quiet little spot. Good place to catch up on some work using their power points. Good service and good food.
Ettiene Vercueil
Very nice spot to meet and chat!! Peaceful atmosphere, quality food and drink and the prices were quite reasonable.
Leora Hart
It's a very relaxing atmosphere to grab a bite to eat. The coffee is delicious and robust and the meat was cooked well. At the time I went for breakfast with a friend and had the steak, egg and chips. I also like the decorative aspect - not too over the top but still homely.
Ashwell Barrett Glasson
The owner is super-friendly and also comes to chat to patrons. The brunch was really great, and we had a large table, with over 10 people. The waiters were engaging and offered advice on specials and variations. It was my first visit, and it has quickly become a favorite spot in and around Four Ways.

We have always had the best experience at Humble Harry’s Leaping Frog � The food is amazing, their specials are the best and staff are always so friendly! I highly recommend them for a romantic dinner out �
Ryan De Melo
Amazing beyond words, I had the mushroom burger and my fiance had the calamari pizza, words cant descride how amazing the food was, burger cooked to perfection and the pizza not over killed with toppings but beautiful balance of flavours, well done, will be back for sure!!!!!
Vinod Wes-lee Singh
Exceptional Service! Friendly staff and great food! I spilled my cup of coffee and the waiter brought me a new cup at no extra charge! I didn't realise this until after i left so i didn't get a chance to thank them personally. Harry is truly Humble ! �
Angi Fook
Food was amazing!! Thumbs up to the chefs.. will definitely recommend this place to everyone! Great value for money, and very delicious!
Faye Joubert
" Uncle Paul" is running a real local spot has a cosy feel not at all like a mall franchise shop . Personal service and populated by regulars. A testament to the joint!
Fiona Worwood
The service and staff are absolutely fantastic!! I humiliating spilt my coffee all over me and your staff were amazing! I received another coffee and the service was fantastic. Added to this the food was impeccable, delicious and definitely affordable! Very very impressed! Keep up the great service!
Kirsten Erin Theofanous
Seriously, your menu leaves ALOT to be desired. We went there for breakfast today, and we walked away very unsatisfied. I had mince on toast - fair price I suppose for mince that was terribly dry. My husband had your boerewors bits and toast. R74 for 1 slice of toast cut in half, about 8cm of boerewors cut into small bits and chakalaka that looked like it came out of a can. Really guys??? That is absolutely shocking. Thank goodness your staff are friendly otherwise you’d have barely anything gong for you. Would really like to see an improvement in the quality of food you share. Very very disappointed at your leaping frog branch
Johan de Coning
Like so many Restaurants the online menu is outdated. Many guests go online and look at menu's. It is imperative that online menu's are always correct. That being said the service and food was good. Please update the 2014 menu - it has been 3 years.
Nick Henry
If only the food was as good as the menu descriptions. Slow service and the restaurant wasn't even full. Given it a few chances. Never again. Can think of other ways of throwing away my hard earned cash.
Marli Greeff
We have date night every Tuesday! Love the food!! Love the atmosphere. Will recommend it to everyone!! They have also new dishes on the menu!! :-)
Debbie Vernon
As always, food & service was excellent - still my favorite place - feels like home ❤️
Nicolaos Pitsillides
best food best prices best owner.. highly recommended .
Helen Van der Merwe
Thank you to all the staff at Humble Harrys at the Buzz for hosting a fabulous baby shower today for my daughter, the food was outstanding as always and everyone that came was really impressed with the delicious treats that were served... Daniel and Lloyd made sure we were all looked after all the time and a fabulous times was had by all.... Thank you so much!!!
Kelsea Goodliffe
We booked a table for Mothers Day and we were blown away at the delicious food that we had! Everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed their meals! We will DEFINITELY be back!! Lovely staff with big smiles!
Erica Loots
The food never disappoints, the burrito is a definite must try!!! Love the sweet patato fries and the jalapeño sauce is Amazing!!!!
Andrew Karshagen
Waiter very friendly and efficient and food was good will definitely go again good concept
Paula Branco
Was there on Sunday 1st September 2019.  Can't complain about the service as there was none.....<br/>What I can complain about is as follows:  Ordered a decaf filter coffee no milk, what I got was a black 5 Roses tea.  On calling the manager (as the waitress was no where to be seen) he confirmed that it was indeed tea, took another 10 minutes before I got my coffee without an apology for the error.  Proceeded to order a toasted cheese and tomato, what I got was grated cheese with cold tomato between 2 slices of toast.<br/>Won't be going there again, rather go to the McDonalds across the road.....
Troy Airon
Great value for money! Nice for a girls mid week catch up dinner! They have super specials and haven’t been disappointed by the food! It’s good dinner style food!
Lynette Scafturis
This place is a great stop for a casual meal out. They definitely serve generous portions and are good value for money. The food was pleasant. Initially the service was good, but I was disappointed that the staff were too distracted to make eye contact towards the end of our meal.
Warwick Robinson
Shoo. Big changes have obviously occurred at Humble Harry’s. Coffee was great and things just went downhill from there. Taste-free spaghetti dish, weird chakalaka instead of fresh items with breakfast and the soggiest burger I’ve had to date - served with the most anemic curly fries in the hemishphere. Oh dear.
Amy Wardle
Stunning and affordable! This was a last minute decision that turned into a great meal. The decor is light and refreshing. Our waitress got straight to the point and delivered our coffees promptly. The manager was attentive and checked on every table. We ordered the Egg Avo stack and the Value breakfast. Our eggs were done perfectly and the health toast was divine! The waitress even remembered to bring glasses of water, which is a rare occurrence.
Wendy Daras
Very good and tasty food and friendly, quick service. Good prices. Decent size portions. Lovely quiet and relaxing night out. Thank you will definitely recommend
Happytsoho
Very unpleasant experience. We ordered coffee while waiting to order b/fast and the coffee came with a biscuit, as I bit into the biscuit I saw a cockroach right where the biscuit was placed. I then informed the waitress about this and explained that I had to spit out the biscuit and couldn’t drink my coffee anymore as I was put off by this and she simply insisted on replacing the coffee which didn’t make sense to me but I let her do it anyway (no apology at all, just shock in her voice and face) another lady came and apologized and gave me another cup of coffee which I really didn’t want anymore and guess what we got charged for it🤣. The 2nd cup was really unnecessary because the roach was not in the coffee and I just couldn’t drink because I simply didn’t feel like it anymore.<br/>I wasn’t happy with the way this was dealt with and decided to go and have our b/fast elsewhere, to my surprise we were charged for the coffee.<br/><br/>I have heard a lot of good things about The buzz shopping centre Humble Harry’s but my experience wasn’t the greatest, we then went to Leapfrog shopping centre and things are much there.<br/><br/>
Jennifer Rundle
Will never go back. This place houses drug addicts and vagrants who sit around all day and threaten customers. The owner defends them when questioned. And management is not allowed by the owner to correct the problem
Seriti Ramakau
Humble Harry is aptly named - a no frills, unpretentious establishment with great filling food. Perfect place to start of one's day on a lazy weekend. The food portions are generous and true value for money. The sangria was exceptionally yum (yes, sometimes a bit of booze with a late breakfast is allowed). Very good service.
Carole Craggs
I heard about this place from my folks. The food is good - I chose to go vegetarian and my friend had a burger. Both meals were generous portions. The service was good and price reasonable.
PJ
Lovely, clean restaurant. The staff were all incredibly helpful and so friendly. A very enjoyable experience. The food was well presented and incredibly tasty. Not one complaint to be had. Will definitely be back again.
Shannaheyes85
What an amazing restaurant. Go on a Tuesday night for "Your date eats free" night which means that the cheapest meal you order between 2 is FREE! We went with a group of friends last night and ended up paying R170 per couple! And everyone's meals were delicious! Great setup and cozy vibe. This will definitely be a regular of mine!
Leigh Robinson
Love this place. Whether breakfast, lunch or supper. Lots to choose from and everything We have tried is amazing. The staff are also excellent and friendly.
Nomfundo Amanda Chirwa
Let's just say the waiters at the door were not welcoming at all. But my actual waiter inside was great so because of his great service inside i will give the overall service a 3.5. Food wasn't exceptional but twas great, burger meat was amazingly done. Interesting twirly chips. Great coffee too.
Sven Little
I think the owner should be aware, as he is never there, just how bad the service has become. This weekend was a nightmare, and your Manager did not know what to do. Everyone sitting outside on Friday and on Sunday were not only complaining but swearing badly saying they will never go back. Food not cooked properly which we sent back....and we are still waiting for that food. ........unfortunately a bad experience.......which is a shame....as you used to 'be good. You cannot run and msintsin a good restuarant if the owner is NEVER EVER there
Crissy Van Zyl
I absolutely love this place!! As mentioned in previous reviews - I am not a breakfast person at all! However this breakfast will definitely see me again! The whole atmosphere of this restaurant is so relaxed and comfortable, and the service was amazing!<br/><br/>Bf and I decided to order smartly again! And shared our meals ;) Best of both worlds baby!!<br/><br/>The Harry's Eggs Benedict was incredible! SO many places nowadays easily ruin an Eggs Benedict with too much Hollandaise sauce, or an overpowering taste of lemon - Humble Harry's however made it to perfection! The asparagus added that extra freshness to the meal, and with the poached eggs and Hollandaise, it just left me wanting more.<br/><br/>The Egg Basket was super scrumptious!! It comes with this mouth watering tomato relish that tied the whole dish together! I wish they sold them by the bottle because I would probably buy them all.. no sharing on that one! Only downfall for this meal (not their fault though) is that it wasn't a spicy relish! Add some chili to that bundle of happiness and it would be AMAZING!!
Teegs
Had the most wonderful breakfast at Humble Harry's this morning, I had the Eggs Benedict on baby marrow and my boyfriend had the three sliders. The food was delicious and the attention to detail was awesome. Sihle our waitress was on point and she brought us water with our cuppachino's (We didn't even have to ask!) We will definitely be back soon 😊
Sarah Connolly
I've been wanting to try here for a while... and was disappointed overall. <br/>On Tuesday they have a special where you at one meal free (great). Arriving at about 7:30, no one greeted me at the door or took me to a table. I was standing there like a tit and had to call someone to show me to a table (it was packed and I couldn't see if there was a free table). Also you cannot book a table. <br/><br/>My date arrived a little later & soon after that we placed an order. We like to share and ordered mini sliders & ribs & chicken wings combo. <br/><br/>After waiting ages (around 45 mins), we managed to fight for the managers attention & told him we were not happy. He sheepishly apologized & looked for our food. Seeing everyone had eaten and payed the bill before our food had come out, I would have assumed that the manager would have maybe thrown in a coffee on the house... anyways. <br/><br/>Over an hour later our food arrived & was super average. <br/><br/>The mini sliders were tasty & the curly fries were just like any other fries. The chicken & ribs were meaty but had no distinct taste from one another. Honestly you get the same at the Spur... would have preferred to go to the Spur. <br/><br/>Our waiter and his service was the only highlight. The special is good but don't think I'll be back for the food. <br/><br/>6/10 for everything (at least 4 of that goes to the waiter)
Byron Wesley Thomas
Wow, awesome food!!! Very friendly waitrons. Portions sizes were good. Their Tuesday date night special is a winner. The vibe and atmosphere is cozy. Free WIFI!!!!!
Carolyn.anne.penny
Absolutely the worst breakfast I have ever had. We were about to order the eggs Benedict when we were told you must pay extra for the ham or bacon despite the fact the the picture on the menu shows it with bacon??? Then we decided to order the egg baskets which were 2 pieces of stale Albany bread with poached eggs and I piece of bacon, dry, no garnish and no attention to detail just absolutely horrid.
Jade Adair
Humble Harrys - Amazing Lentil and halloumi burger and sweet potato fries! <br/>*Great value for money*<br/><br/>A colleague at work had mentioned Humble Harrys and their amazing Tuesday night specials. I believe she said your date eats for free on Tuesday nights and that the food was good. The recommendation stuck in my food-obsessed brain, and I made a trip one Saturday around lunchtime. We have subsequently been back for dinner too. <br/><br/>Our first visit - A quick lunch on a Saturday afternoon.<br/>I must admit I am not a fan of the Buzz Shopping Centre. I find that it lacks ambience. The restaurant is nice enough though.The service was great. The waiter brought us lemon water immediately as we sat down which was really thoughtful and attentive. <br/><br/>We both ordered lentil veggie burgers with halloumi and a side of sweet potato fries. I absolutely loved it. I have had so many dissapointing veggie and normal burgers in my lifetime, but the lentil pattie was so incredibly delicious. I loved the texture and flavour. The sweet potato fries are my favourite. Would highly recommend even if you aren't a vegetarian. <br/> <br/>Our second visit - Dinner <br/>I ordered the veggie platter, and my boyfriend ordered the veggie burrito. The veggie platter is quite substantial and really filling. I loved the lentil croquettes which were really tasty. We also ordered a side of curly fries which were crunchy and delicious. The veggie burrito was nice. But the veggie burger definitlely wins though. <br/><br/>They have amazing specials at Humble Harrys - I would highly recommend taking full advantage of them. The food is really good value for money. Really great options for vegetarians. Will be back. <br/>

Coffee was not great. Service was slow despite empty tables. Nobody asked how the food was. Had to get up to pay bill. This was particularly bad since I was sitting in full view of manager. <br/>
Antoinette Naomi Tebbutt
LOVE this place! The decor is awesome. The staff are friendly and efficient. The prices are affordable and the food is yummy! <br/>We have dinner there and this weekend we went for breakfast and we were NOT disappointed. The portion sizes are GREAT! <br/><br/>Keep it up guys! See you again and again
Jennifer Hayes
We decided to go to Humble Harries for our anniversary and it was an amazing experience. <br/>We loved it! My boyfriend had the T-Bone Steak, most tender piece of meat he's had in a long time and pepper sauce to die for. I had the Greek Platter and every bite was bursting with flavour and so fresh. The staff were so friendly and the vibe was great. The cherry on top was the date night special on a Tuesday. <br/>We will definitely be back !
Rhonda Hamilton
Over the December period, we visited Humble Harry's @ the Buzz twice and were impressed both times. the Menu is diverse and everything we tried was tasty, well prepared and prompt. The service was excellent and everyone was able to find something to try. <br/>Overall, a great place, with lovely decor and atmosphere
Fuzzy Lojic
Popped in for breakfast and was really surprised at the choices on the menu. We settled on the Breakfast Pan and the flapjack and egg basket stack. The pan was delicious and looked quite appertizing. The egg basket was quite nice. The flapjack stack looked different to the pic and came with sliced apple and blueberry compote without the marscapone smeared between the flapjacks but rather on the side. However it was still tasty and worth ordering. We shared a side of curly fries which was a good size portion and deliciously crunchy. Our waiter initially was missing but after prodding from the manager was very attentive and even rescued us from a bee at the table. I like the ambience and deco. Very chilled and pretty. The menu is extensive. I will be back, if not just to try the burgers.
Jonathan Houston
"Buckets of potential"... Probably the best way to describe Humble Harry's. Everything was ok, bordering on good... Admittedly it was a slow and cloudy morning but the atmosphere was *almost* good and the coffee was *almost* spectacular. I will try it again and see what happens.

If I could give zero rating I would. I visited the Humble harry's branch at The Buzz in Fourways today and was absolutely disgusted at the quality of the food as the burger patty was semi-hot on the outside and ice cold on the inside but it was cooked through, it was likely reheated after refrigeration. The sweet potato chips was discoloured, ice cold, soggy and tasteless definitely not freshly made and had to have stood there for quite a while before our arrival. Had this problem with their curly fries on numerous occasions as well. The previous time we visited the restaurant we brought our own wine (as they don't serve this particular wine at the restaurant), but there was no wine glasses available for us at first we understood the restaurant was very busy as there was no electricity in the area. I kept an eye on the staff, wine glasses was being served to people that ordered wine from their menu to guests that arrived after us. To add insult to injury on a separate visit a jug of water was brought to the table with a lid and glass jug that reeked of parrafin. This particular jug was either used to store paraffin or had come in contact with it at some point. Today was the last straw I would definitely not suggest this place to anyone!!! Rather go have breakfast, lunch or supper at another place worth your money.

My friend and I were driving around on Boxing Day attempting to do some shopping but discovered that quite a number of shops are closed.  So we decided to have some breakfast instead.  Heard some good things about this restaurant from a friend of mine and decided to give it shot.<br/><br/>It wasn't too busy when we arrived and we were presented with really smart looking wood bounded menus. We placed a quick order of our usual cappuccino with cream toppings.  It was brought to us with glasses with cold water with mint and lemon slices which was a nice touch.  <br/><br/>We placed our food order, I ordered the Egg Baskets with soft poached eggs with brown bread and my friend had the French toast with addition of Bacon.<br/><br/>When the food arrived, I was very impressed with the presentation of my dish, as one can see from my pics.  I dove straight in and was very pleased that my poached eggs were done exactly as per my request - soft.  The flattened brown bread which was probably lined in a muffin tin and toasted before having it filled with the eggs, bacon and the really delicious tomato relish topping.  <br/><br/>I definitely would have to come by to check out the lunch and dinner offerings real soon!
Andrea L
Went here for breakfast this morning and I really enjoyed it! Service was fairly quick and very friendly. I had the eggs basket, which was delicious. They also have the most amazing genuine fresh fruit juices. I found the prices very reasonable.
Stacey Faber
Wonderful breakfast joint! Staff are so friendly and the manager/owner is awesome! One of us ordered the incorrect breakfast and our breakfast was replaced at no cost with what we actually wanted. Very impressed! Food is absolutely delicious and at such great prices!
Taylah Barnard
My husband & I went there for the first time last week Sunday, we shared the popcorn chicken starter which was divine! i had the burger sliders and he had the chicken burrito. Only complaint is the burrito was too sweet from the beetroot. But otherwise, top marks, burgers were delish & very attentive waitress. Will definitely be back.
Sheryl
My first and last time. It's not very nice to hear management shout at staff. Not humble at all! So I left without waiting for my change. Hopefully the poor waitress gets to keep the tip!
Tania
Hidden gem. For food and service that is always outstanding do yourself a favour and come to Humble Harrys.everything I have tried here is delicious. Free WiFi and good coffee to top it off
Diederik Van 't Hof
This is a great spot. Had a family birthday breakfast - menus are fantastic. Items can be mixed and matched, the menu is varied and extensive, and it opens early. The meal we had bordered on spectacular. Super tastes and friendly staff. I will be a regular.
Paula Dow
Humble Harrys occupies a spot in the buzz shopping centre that I’ve always considered doomed. Seeing the passage of one failure after another I wasn’t expecting much from the latest occupants, however Humble Harrys has been a lovely surprise.  The interior of this restaurant has been completely refurbished and now boasts a fresh, uncluttered vibe in mint green and grey. The waiters were all extremely helpful and willing to pitch in to assist should our specific waiter be busy. And there is a friendly family atmosphere to this spot with many off the patrons greeting the manager and waiters like friends.
Leeneshen Govender
Friendly Staff. <br/>love the breakfast <br/>chilled coffee shop vibe with easy food. <br/><br/>Tasty menu with the right mix. <br/>perfect little spot for a snack and chat <br/><br/>
Victoria Cooke
Great little place with good service! Potato skins are a must to try!!!! Yummy! We went on a Friday night and there was live karaoke style music!
Monique Diana Crosti
Friendly staff, awesome specials, delicious cafe-style food and great ambience. Food is reasonably priced and restaurant is clean. Visited 3 times now and every experience has been nothing less than excellent👌
Renate
A really super restaurant. Great variety of interesting vegetarian choices. Efficient service. Excellent value for money. Relaxed vibe with clever decor ideas. Certainly worth a return visit.
Isabella Tosh
Great spot for a lazy lunch , great value for your money, service is very friendly. They need to create a little bit of atmosphere especially when you are sitting outside , maybe a little music in the background . They also have great specials on weekdays .
Clare Appleyard
Great spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Visited The Buzz branch - brand new and still having some finishing touches added to the outside section but great open spaces, bright, welcoming and great decor. Extensive menu with some great variations on your typical lunches and breakfast sandwiches. I had the crispy spicy chicken sandwich which was delicious. The option of sweet potato fries is great and if you're a Paleo diet follower and you want a burger without the bun, take R2 off the price 😁
Erusha Raju
Drove past this restuarant a couple times since it opened and finally got a chance to try it for breakfast. Pleasant waiters and good service. Breakfast served all day which is always a plus. Cappachino was a bit weak but was quickly sorted out by the waiter who brought us 2 shots of espresso. I enjoyed my meal which had a different spin on eggs benedict (served on feta, coriander and baby marrow hash browns). Good variety on the menu including a build-your-own-breakfast, will definitely go back to try the nachos or spicy crumbed schnitzel. Good value for money and quality food. Also appreciated being served a canister of cold water with our meals.
