Harry’s Roadhouse, a Santa Fe Institution<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Roadhouses–great inns and restaurants located near major highways traversing the country–once dotted America’s fruited plain, offering respite and sustenance to weary or hungry travelers. Renown for serving great comfort foods, they have been an important part of America’s heritage though with the advent of fast food restaurants and chains, fewer authentic roadhouses exist today. \u00a0Harry’s Roadhouse may be a bit more sophisticated and eclectic than its roadhouse brethren, offering several kinds of pizza, sandwiches, burgers, salads, pastas, Cajun and Asian cuisine as well as American comfort food standards that give it a feel and taste of home.<\/p>\n

\"\"
One of Several Dining Rooms in the Sprawling Edifice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To say it’s a popular dining destination is an understatement.\u00a0 Perhaps the only Santa Fe event which exceeds the number of cars parked at Harry’s is Zozobra.\u00a0 If you don’t get there early, you may have to wait to be seated despite the restaurant’s sprawling multi-room capacity. Even during peak hours, however, the efficient wait staff will likely have you seated within half an hour. \u00a0The light blue trimmed restaurant has several dining rooms, each with a different decor. There’s a room with an atrium-like ambience and windows to maximize light and one with an artsy Southwestern room replete with mismatched tables.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Patio Seating Under Majestic Trees<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ask for seating where you can have a view of the restaurant’s center, a kitchen abuzz with activity. That puts you also in close proximity to the counter in which Harry’s famous pies and desserts will elicit gustatory lust in the most staunch dieter. \u00a0During the summer, even better seating is available out-of-doors in Harry’s garden. Colorful hollyhocks are the home of busy bees, but they’ll leave you alone if you reciprocate that courtesy. Clinging to the coyote fencing buttressing much of the property are verdant grape vines and their clustered green fruit.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Back Patio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Summer may be the best time of year for dining at Harry’s. One of the reasons is the availability of watermelon juice<\/em><\/strong> on the menu. It’s as fleshy as if just extricated from its rindy home and not necessarily thirst quenching, but absolutely delicious, comparable to its Mexican brethren agua fresca de sandia. \u00a0Reputedly Harry’s is also home to great lime-infused margaritas and other adult libations. A rustic bar features spirits of all sorts. Alternatively, teetotalers will enjoy some of the very best lemonade you can find anywhere.\u00a0 The watermelon lemonade is especially good.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Watermelon Lemonade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Harry’s Roadhouse is named for Philadelphia native Harry Shapiro.\u00a0 Harry and his bride Peyton Young launched the iconic Old Las Vegas Highway eatery in 1992.\u00a0 The restaurant is actually a converted gas station, the type of which once dotted Route 66.\u00a0 They operated the restaurant until 2024 when they handed the reins to Kathleen O\u2019Brien, who has been the restaurant\u2019s manager since 2000.\u00a0 Kathleen’s business partner and co-owner is\u00a0 Mario Reyes,\u00a0 the Roadhouse chef for 10 years.\u00a0 Reyes performed every kitchen job there since 2002, starting with washing dishes.<\/p>\n

In 2007, Gibbs Smith published Harry’s Roadhouse Cookbook<\/strong><\/a> in which Harry included the recipes for many of the most popular dishes served in his restaurant. It’s a must have for Roadhouse fans.\u00a0 \u00a0As Amazon’s description of the book indicates “<\/span>Harry’s Roadhouse takes its motto very seriously: “A Square Meal Every Time.” Harry Shapiro has been serving up the very best comfort food, with a unique Southwestern twist, for over a decade. This Santa Fe institution is beloved by locals and tourists alike who have come to rely on the home-cooked comfort food served with a smile-if they can find a spot to park, that is<\/em>!”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Appetizers<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\n
\"Vietnamese
Vietnamese Lobster spring roll<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The menu changes frequently (several of the dishes described in this essay might not be available when you visit) and is sure to have something everyone in the family will enjoy. From appetizers to entrees, Harry’s Roadhouse delivers on its motto of “A Square Meal Every Time.” You’ll see this motto emblazoned on the shirts worn by the wait staff and you’ll see it executed in every meal.\u00a0 A popular appetizer when on the menu are the Vietnamese Lobster Spring Rolls<\/em><\/strong> (pictured above) served with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce not at all dissimilar to “Nuoc Mam,” the incomparable Vietnamese fish sauce. The translucent wrapper envelops thin egg noodles, a few sprigs of mint and sweet, succulent lobster. The dipping sauce is terrific.<\/p>\n

\"\"
St. Louis Cut Pork Ribs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

20 June 2025<\/strong>:\u00a0 It’s not very often you see St. Louis Cut Ribs on an appetizers menu, but then Harry’s doesn’t subscribe to a template.\u00a0 Harry’s does things the Harry’s way, not anyone else’s.\u00a0 That means two dry-rubbed, smoky St Louis cut pork ribs<\/strong><\/em> served with coleslaw and a ramekin of barbecue sauce.\u00a0 The ribs are brawny and tender, perhaps even tender enough to be enjoyed even without teeth.\u00a0 There is a lot of bone on each rib but also a higher amount of fat, making them very flavorful.\u00a0 An entree-sized portion of St. Louis ribs is available, too.\u00a0 It’s accompanied by fries or ranch-style pinto beans, slaw and cornbread.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Entrees<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"Thai
Thai Style Grilled Beef Salad<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The dipping sauce served with the Vietnamese lobster spring rolls is even better on an entree of Thai Style Grilled Beef Salad<\/em><\/strong> than the spicy Thai dressing which accompanies it. The salad features grilled (just above a sear) skirt steak on chopped Romaine lettuce with snap peas, tomatoes, corn wheels, cucumbers and scallions. \u00a0The skirt steak is pink-fleshed and slightly chewy, but it is very well seasoned and works well with all the fresh components in this creative salad. Only the spicy Thai dressing fails to live up to its dressing, being more salty than spicy.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Baked Penne With Four Cheeses<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

20 June 2025<\/strong>: From Asian cuisine to the cuisine of Europe, Harry’s Roadhouse seemingly does it all and very well at that. The Baked Penne<\/em><\/strong> with four cheeses tossed in a tomato-cream sauce is sure to appease any fromage fanatic…and if four cheeses isn’t enough, you can order this entree with Danish\u00a0 blue cheese for an appetite quelling, artery clogging bowl of deliciousness. Better still, order it with Harry’s spicy Italian sausage to cut the creaminess and richness of the cheeses.\u00a0 \u00a0This entree is served with a small Caesar salad.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Meat Pizza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

20 June 2025<\/strong>:\u00a0 It’s often believed that restaurants that offer a little bit of everything on a menu don’t do anything well.\u00a0 Some critics tend to believe restaurants that specialize are more apt to master their more limited offerings than restaurants with menus as expansive as Harry’s.\u00a0 With that train of thinking, you’re apt to believe a pizzeria has got to serve better pizza than Harry’s which has eleven distinct pizzas on the menu.\u00a0 Those pizzas can be prepared on a gluten-free canvas for a pittance more.\u00a0 Carnivores will appreciate the meat pizza<\/strong><\/em> (Italian sausage, pepperoni, prosciutto, green chile and mozzarella).\u00a0 The meat pizza is thin and crispy with just a slight cornicione, t<\/b>he Italian word for the edge of the pizza.\u00a0 If you like char, you’ll love the pinto pony charred edges.\u00a0 Contrary to the name of this pie, meat offerings are rather sparse.<\/p>\n

The lunch menu is laden with sandwiches, salads and pizzas. The green chile cheeseburger<\/em><\/strong> is a “must have.” Grilled to your specifications, it features a thick, hand-formed patty; chopped, gorgeous green chile and other ingredients of your choosing.\u00a0 Perhaps only the legendary and much missed Bobcat Bite<\/strong><\/a> served a better green chile cheeseburger in the Santa Fe area though for some reason, Harry’s burger has not yet made the New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Ask for the hot and sweet mustard which has both the gunpowder bite of Chinese hot mustard and the sweetness of honey mustard. \u00a0Together with the green chile, it makes the burger (and your taste buds) sing.<\/p>\n

That mustard comes standard with Harry’s nonpareil grilled cheese sandwich<\/em><\/strong> on sourdough bread which includes aged extra sharp Cheddar cheese and grilled onions. It’s a two-fisted, must-have sandwich. It’s an adult grilled cheese sandwich several orders of magnitude better than any other in town. Ditto on the “must have” for Harry’s New Orleans worthy catfish po-boy<\/em><\/strong> with jalapeno tartar sauce, a good cure when we’re missing the Crescent City’s cuisine. Burgers and sandwiches alike are accompanied by hand-cut French fries which are best dipped in that hot and sweet mustard.<\/p>\n

Breakfast<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"\"
Migas\u00a0<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Harry’s rendition of migas<\/em><\/strong> (a term which translates from Spanish to “crumbs”) puts a unique Santa Fe spin on a breakfast offering more frequently found in Texas than in the Land of Enchantment.\u00a0 Traditionally a Lenten dish, migas are a scrambled eggs dish typically served with refried beans, but Harry’s changes things up a bit with black beans.\u00a0 Other ingredients include onion, green pepper, tomato, pickled jalape\u00f1o, tortilla chips and cheese with a side of salsa.\u00a0 Viva la differencia!\u00a0 These are excellent migas.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Cajun style duck hash<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Breakfast specials are scrawled on a slate board near the front entrance. \u00a0You might think it audacious for “hash” to be considered a special. \u00a0Hash, after all, is typically a dish made with left-overs of pre-cooked chopped meats and vegetables. \u00a0Harry’s elevates hash to a new level and if it’s on that special’s board, make sure you order it. It’s Cajun style duck hash<\/em><\/strong> made with smoked duck, Andouille sausage, green and red peppers, onion, celery, okra, sweet potatoes and corn, a veritable cornucopia of deliciousness. This entree is offered with two eggs any style. Just make sure not to ask for eggs over well because you want runny yellow goodness mixing with the melange of ingredients.\u00a0There’s a lot going on with this hash entree–from the smoky, spicy aggression of the Andouille sausage to the sweet potato goodness.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Toasted Sage Bakehouse Sourdough with Bacon<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Of course no breakfast would be complete without Sage Bakehouse toast<\/em><\/strong>. \u00a0Though it’s been said that man cannot live by bread alone, I could live happily for a long time on only Sage Bakehouse sourdough bread toasted, buttered and slathered with strawberry jelly. \u00a0If it doesn’t come standard with your order, ask for a couple slices on the side. \u00a0It’s the best toast in town.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Pennsylvania Dutch scrapple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the daily offerings which includes toast also features two eggs (any style), home fries and your choice of homemade turkey sausage, ham or scrapple. \u00a0Scrapple<\/em><\/strong> is fairly common in Pennsylvania where Harry Shapiro was from, but rarely seen in these parts. \u00a0It originated as a way to avoid throwing away scraps of pork left over from butchering. \u00a0During the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode at Harry’s, host Guy Fieri told Harry no one in Philadelphia could tell him exactly what part of the pig it came from. \u00a0Harry’s retort, “everything but the oinks” isn’t far from the truth in some restaurants.\u00a0 Harry’s one-ups traditional Pennsylvania Dutch scrapple. \u00a0He makes it out of pork butt, pork stock and vegetables all ground and formed into loaves. \u00a0Slices of the scrapple are then fried in clarified butter. \u00a0Fieri overcame his initial hesitation (admitting he didn’t want to like it) to proclaim Harry’s scrapple “seriously great.” I’ll echo that sentiment.<\/p>\n

Harry even adds surprising twists to popular breakfast favorites–like chocolate French toast and blue corn waffles with strips of bacon inside the waffle itself. \u00a0Better still, you can have these with Shaker Mountain Farm 100 percent pure Grade A maple syrup. \u00a0According to Saveur magazine, an estimated 90 percent of Americans have never tasted real maple syrup. \u00a0Most breakfast syrup consumed in America, Saveur claims, is “of the high-fructose corn variety dressed up with caramel color to make it look like the real stuff.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Desserts<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\n
\"\"
Strawberry Cake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

20 June 2025<\/strong>:\u00a0 A significant portion of our family garden was dedicated to my mom’s strawberries.\u00a0 Though she would have preferred that her family save more of them for her phenomenal strawberry jelly, we couldn’t help but pluck the delicious berries from the vine and enjoy them straight from the garden.\u00a0 Strawberries have never tasted quite as good though Harry’s wonderful strawberry cake comes very close.\u00a0 It’s layered with luscious strawberries–not some strawberry filler–punctuated by a fluffy, creamy and light frosting reminiscent of what you’ll find on a Chantilly cake.<\/p>\n

\"Homemade
Homemade ice cream sandwich<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even though Harry’s hefty lunch and dinner portions may leave you waddling, you’ve got to sample Harry’s desserts–Sizeable slabs of sweet deliciousness in every bite and meant to be shared. \u00a0The\u00a0homemade ice cream sandwich<\/em><\/strong> features a chocolate cookie crust that puts Oreos to shame while the ice cream (over an inch high) has a premium dairy taste you’ll love. \u00a0Premium also describes the luscious pumpkin cheesecake with a praline crust. \u00a0It tastes like pumpkin from the vine, not pumpkin from the can. \u00a0It is rich, moist and delicious.<\/p>\n

In 2005, Harry’s Roadhouse was named Santa Fe’s Restaurant of the Year by the Santa Fe Reporter<\/em>. It’s a very well-deserved honor for one of the City Different’s unique treasures. \u00a0In 2008, Harry’s was featured on an episode of the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. \u00a0Titled “What’s For Breakfast,” the episode showcased some of Harry’s breakfast fare. \u00a0There are many Santa Feans who have a “square meal every time” for every meal of the day starting with breakfast. \u00a0Now that’s a great way to start the day off.<\/p>\n

Leave it to Harry’s Roadhouse to redefine comfort food and reinvent fun at mealtime. In a city replete with high-end dining establishments, Harry’s is the people’s choice.<\/p>\n
