First time visiting in close to five years. Prior to my lengthy absence, I was a frequent visitor to this wonderful cafe. Harbor View consistently offers delicious dishes with a real flair for local flavors and ingredients. The restaurant has a generous outdoor patio and a comfortable, stylish interior that complements the menu and "vibe". Can't wait until my next visit!

Food is Great! The staff are caring and very helpful and are very knowledgeable of all the items on the menu's. Highly recommend not only locals, but visitors stop for a enjoyable meal with absolutely stunning seating overlooking the harbor!

The BLT on rye was really good. The bacon was a tad overcooked but still tasted good because the veggies were fresh and bread was good quality.
The fries were mediocre. I paid extra for them so it was a little disappointing to get fries that tasted like they were cooked in old oil. Overall though, they were still decent. Most likely wouldn't even notice. It was slight but it was there.
The service was good despite being fairly busy and the waitstaff looking like they were a bit overburdened. I was in and out at lunchtime in about 30 minutes.

My husband and I could have gone anywhere to have lunch today, but we decided to go to Harbor View to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. The staff is very friendly and the food was delicious. We couldn’t eat another bite so we brought dessert to eat at home later. We will go back soon. Thanks Harbor View!!! We are back to Harbor View again. My husband had a shrimp poboy and French fried and it’s an up charge of $3 and I have a Cuban sandwich and onion rings with mine and again it’s an up charge of $3 for that as well. They were great 😊. No dessert for today maybe next time! Thank you Harbor View

This is a pretty nice restaurant, just a couple blocks from the beach. The wait staff is friendly enough and the food is good enough. We've been here a few times now, always with the same results. On this trip, I had the blackened shrimp Po boy, gumbo, Gouda macaroni bites, and loaded fries. The po boy was good, not great. The shrimp wasn't really blackened... In fact you wouldn't have known it was supposed to be if you hadn't asked for it that way, and the bread was a little soft for a po boy. Other than that, it was good.
The gumbo was a thin gravy, which isn't my preference, but that said this was the best thin gravy variety I've had.
The Gouda bites were very good, and the fries were just fine.
The prices are quite reasonable, and we'll not hesitate to visit again.

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!!

Harbor View Cafe has everything going for it: beautiful facility, beautiful view, great staff, excellent food, and an easy location off the main strip in Long Beach.
I had the Cuban sammich (without pickles.) Very tasty and filling. One of the best Cuban's I've had on the Coast. Another member of our party had a Patty Melt, it was HUGE! One of the biggest Patty Melts on the Coast. And another party member had a Rueben, it was also HUGE! Outside of St Patricks Day when locations make special Ruebens, this one was a record breaker.
The ONLY downsides might be discovered during their busiest hours. You might encounter a wait to get seated because it is THAT popular. And you might have issues hearing because the place is FILLED and everyone is happy and loud. But those are signs of how good it is, not anything worth complaining about. At least for me.
Plain and simple: go here, you'll enjoy it!

One of a kind place. Appx. 20 yes ago, on our honeymoon we discovered this place In Pass Christian, and fell in love with the food and service. A yr or 2 went by after a hurricane. Then we discovered the new location. And we stop everytime we pass through. Still amazing food and even better service. The place where locals go. I think it's the best seafood in the area. Also try a slab of cheesecake if its your first time.. also the Owner mr. Robert it great. And the staff is the best.. I'll continue to eat here as much as possible.. thanks HVC.

Always good food at Harbor View, with friendly staff. I have enjoyed their prime rib on Thursdays. Yummy! Always tender. Sandwiches are tasty as well. Their fried seafood is excellent! Last night I decided to try their Grand Chicken Caesar salad. Very good!!! The chicken was very tender, and the Greek olives gave it an added touch. We especially enjoy their Sunday breakfasts, but they end at 11 and can only get lunch. Great selection of various types of eggs, pancakes, etc. It's always a good place to go, and has a nice selection of food. Be sure to check out the outstanding desserts.....always the best. Check out the Red Velvet cake. It's some of the best ever! Great selection of yummy desserts! You can't go wrong dining here.

We sat outside and had breakfast. The view was incredible. The staff, the food and the atmosphere was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this cafe. It was a great experience.

Had a wonderful lunch with my sister who is visiting from KY. We drove here from Navarre, FL for a day trip to the casinos and planned lunch here based on reviews. What a great meal, attentive service (Katie is a gem), and a wonderful view of the gulf. Even though the temp was in the 90s we decided to sit on the porch and enjoy the ambiance of this quaint little town. There was a great breeze from the gulf and just sitting out there was a moment in time, a slice of Americana in the south, that we both commented on it and absorbed it all in. The food was delicious---Key Lime Chicken salads, fried pickles and corn fritter nuggets. Oh, and you have to have a slice of Hummingbird Cake! Yum! Just such a memorable time and meal. Thanks so much for making our day very special!

First time here. We drove over and hour to try it out and we were not disappointed. From the time we walked in to walking out the customer service was amazing. Our server Katie was training a new girl and they both were great. Katie knew the menu very well. She had no problems answering all of our questions. The food was perfect also. I tried eggplant fries for the first time and they were amazing. We had the Cuban poboy that was delicious. The fried shrimp wrap my husband devoured very quickly. We will definitely be back and it was worth the trip.

Had breakfast here and oh.my.goodness. Food was fabulous. Service was great. Everyone was friendly and we never lacked for anything. A definite place to come back to on subsequent visits to the coast! Great find!
Steve Blair
Very good food and good service even with a large group that could have clogged up the kitchen and dining room.

Wonderful, scenic place for breakfast or lunch by the Gulf! Homemade desserts and salad dressings were wonderful. I especially liked the ranch and key lime dressings. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

The Trio salad with the chicken, shrimp and tuna salad is not only awesome, but packed full in the take out dish as well as eat in!!

A great way to start the day! Hot breakfast, friendly fast service and a full plate of homestyle cooking. Right off the beach !
Paige Harrison
I love this restaurant!!! Mainly bc there are more options than Cajun inspired seafood �� it's a great homey place with food that tastes home-cooked and it reminds of the little mom and pop restaurants back home in North Alabama. It hit the spot!!!
