harrie's pancakes

(2 may 2015)
if you want to be disappointed by a plate of overpriced food, go to harries.  we went to the branch in cullinan.  never, ever will any harries branch see us again.

hein ordered the lamb tomato stew pancake with basil pesto.  well.  the pancake had lamb in and was served with basil pesto.  and yes, the lambfillingwas nice.  but tomato stew?  nu-uh, chef.  you got it wrong.  for a price of r80, at least serve this pancake with a salad, some chips, crisp, veggies - anything!

i ordered the sticky pork pancake.  tsk. tsk.  the sticky side was from a small bowl of sticky liquid.  the pork cubes in the pancake was dry and chewy.  once again for r80 ... really???  no side salad, no veggies?

so after a very disappointing main course, i ordered the chocolate chip peanut butter banana pancake - r45.  i opened up the pancake to take a picture ... poked around with my knife and fork.  i found a knife point worth of peanut butter, a few chocolate chips and 1 banana sliced up.  i sent it back.

honestly, people.  pancakes cost you about 50c or maybe r1.  the very least you can do is fill the pancake decently and at least serve it with a side salad, veggies or something.

i do not appreciate being ripped off and this is exactly what you'll get at harries.

our waiter was super friendly! came with a group of varsity friends after lectures for a catch up. the pancakes were superfillingand prices are student budget friendly. best of all, although not on the menu, you can request for the chef to make the pancakes vegan with no extra charge!! definitely would come back

a yummy treat with a friend at harries pankcakes was the perfect way to end what was a stressful week. we opted for pancakes with cinnamon sugar, bananafillingand ice cream. the pancakes were all kinds of perfect; however, the highlight was the ice cream! it was really goood!
and lovely food presentation. staff is attentive and friendly. the prices are super decent. it’s well worth a visit in my books.

i'd forgotten about this place. used to go to the one is harties years ago! they have the fluffiest pancakes!fillingcombos are great which may leave you spoilt for choice! i opted for the milktart pancake. it was so yum! definitely going back! not sure if i'd wanna try something else tho...

this was my first time going to the famous harries pancakes. it was a rainy day and pancakes were the perfect thing to nosh. i had the east african sweet potato and spinach savoury pancake but the people who ordered sweet pancakes also seemed to thoroughly enjoy them. my pancake wasfillingand delicious, perfect mix of sweet and savoury and the seasoned yoghurt gave it a wonderful tang. the service was very good and our meals came to the table very soon after we'd ordered them.

this is the 2nd time we visited harries in pretoria, and left disappointed on both occasions. the milk tartfillingpancake was amazing, however the rest was not nearly as nice as it could have been.

their caramel is a caramel flavored toffee with a bad after taste, the lemon meringuefillingis actually just a lemon flavored sauce with pieces of meringue, the savory pancake was actually a dry omelette in need of more seasoning. their peppermint crisp gets extremely hard and chewy after they heated it.

we've been to the harries in dullstroom and was much better. would rather recommend dullstroom and not the one in pretoria.

my pancake was delicious albeit that thefillingwas runny and the presentation a bot sloppy. compared to the graskop franchise, it is almost there but not quite yet.

my so and myself decided that we'd give harries hatfield a go and we were impressed by the quality in comparison with the one in graskop. 
the food tasted amazing. i had the biltong with mozzarella cheese and my so decided to choose a thai-style chicken with marmelade. 
the drinks were great. according to my so, the red cappuccino is the best she has ever tasted. i had a cafe latte, nothing special but it still tasted good.
although thefillingwas not as much as expected, we will definitely return for another seating soon.

i thought this was well worth it, pancakes are good,fillingdelicious! i had a red cappuccino with it, the most expensive is r90 but is a meal, with smoked trout, the rest are reasonably priced

gourmet pancakes have to be really good to fill a shop on the daily as harries does. been on numerous occasions myself and can't get enough. i mean pancake with milktartfillingomg
