The experience was excellent. Every dish we had from start to finish was delicious! Our server Michelle was amazing: great personality, sociable while not being over bearing, attentive and offered great suggestions for meals! We ordered charbroiled oysters, fried chicken wingettes, famous seafood platter (catfish and snapper), T-bone steak, shrimp po boy. Sides of Mac and cheese, red beans and rice, spinach, and fries. There isn’t one thing we wouldn’t order again! Portions and value for money are also fantastic!
This was my first time going to Harold &Belle's. I had the red snapper which was seasoned well and crunchy. The catfish nuggets were good as well. I would definitely go back to try another dish.
First time here, but it won't be the last! The exterior is a little misleading because the inside is elegant and comfortable. They have a full bar right when you walk into the right, and it's perfectly lit. Tvs with sports are on, and the vibe is chill and classy. I had the jambalaya to start, and the sausage they use is like nothing I've had in a long time. The flavor was delicious! They are famous for their fried catfish, but I was not hungry enough to have an entire fish, so I tried the po boy instead, and it was excellent! Next time, I'll need to try some of the cocktails, but I had their IPA, and it was refreshing and balanced. Harold and Belle's is a staple in the community and a MUST visit for locals and visitors alike.
I would absolutely come back for a second visit!!
We got:
Catfish Nuggets for the Appetizer 5/5
Salmon Creole Pasta 4/5 (The pasta sauce was exquisite but I think I expected more out of the salmon)
Mac and Cheese side 5/5 (AMAZING)
Catfish Po Boy 3.7/5 (a different type of bread would have brought this to 5/5!)
We went on a Thursday around 6:30 and service was great and quick! Our waitress Desiree was so nice and helped me decide what to get!
I hope to go back soon to try the other entrees!
My review about Harold & Belles is that it is a very nice family style restaurant. The service was great, starting on the phone. The lady who answered the phone was super nice and remembered. I called to ask if reservations were needed. The food was delicious, but I'm sorry I was not a fan of the crab cakes! I would definitely come back again! Fried chicken was the star of the menu. Try that!
I never ate oysters before and really love the way they prepare them. Rockafella style, all the food was great. Customer service is great, we'll be going back again.
Decided to visit after being featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. This was an awesome and filling meal. I loved everything I ordered and it was worth it. Shout-out to Alex, very pleasant waitress. She made me feel very welcomed and well token care of.
I absolutely loved the food, the ambience and the service. Even though I ate alone I felt at home. This is a wonderful creole restaurant.
It's been over 20 years since I've been here because I don't eat seafood and I don't eat pork and didn't remember much options. Last night we went and truly enjoyed ourselves. There were more options for me to eat and I'm mad I didn't take more photos. The service was great. Everyone was helpful and friendly and kept checking on us. We ordered wings, salad, red beans and rice, Mac n cheese, catfish, gumbo, maitais and beignets. While I wish the wings had a little more flavor and the beignets were a little less doughy, we truly enjoyed our meal and being able to support this great little restaurant that's been around for so very long. We will definitely be back.
Also, best maitais I've ever had! That hasn't changed over the years!
