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 anyharriesbranch 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 lamb filling was 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.

can't beat a good old pancake for lunch and atharriesyou are spoilt for choice with a variety of savoury and sweet pancakes. the portion size is everything but stingy and the atmosphere is also nice. no complaints

from savory cheese and mince fillings, to the most mouth watering chocolate moose fillings,harriespancakes has it all!
and not only their pancakes are amazing, their breakfast meals are devine too!
their home made jam is a must to try!
the decor is so adorable and makes you feel so relaxed and comfortable.
highly recommended

a yummy treat with a friend atharriespankcakes was the perfect way to end what was a stressful week. we opted for pancakes with cinnamon sugar, banana filling and 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.

peaceful little restaurant in pretoria with great pancakes. awesome selection, reasonable pricing and friendly service. overall great experience atharriespancakes.

this was my first time going to the famousharriespancakes. 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 was filling and 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 visitedharriesin pretoria, and left disappointed on both occasions. the milk tart filling pancake 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 meringue filling is 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 theharriesin dullstroom and was much better. would rather recommend dullstroom and not the one in pretoria.

i have heard much aboutharriespancakes....and was very excited to finally eat there. the service was good. both the savory and sweet pancakes were good. the pancakes are a little pricey and i really wasn't blown away.

"july 5 breakfast: one group of friends had gone to pilgrim's rest and were raving about theharriespan cakes. so, one fine sunday morning, we drove down to pretoria to have breakfast at harries. we had booked a table the day before - do your reservations as the place tends to get full. the place is nicely done and the ceiling caught the eye. 

the strawberry small shake was nice though a bit on the colder side. i had the spinach and feta pan cake. i had requested them to add mushrooms but since the fillings are all made in advance, they wont do any changes. :( 

however, the pan cake was good though there seemed to be a bit of an overdose of spinach and a bit of mushrooms would have surely helped. the thai style chicken pan cake tasted good. the pan cake with strawberry reserve was a bit of the sweeter side. we all had a good time though the prices are on the higher side and the options in vegeterain are less."

these pancakes define what gourmet pancake's true meaning is. i mean milktart in a pancake! we ordered the milktart custard with cinnamon sugar, as well as the spinach and feta with cream cheese pancakes. my word! was that the most scrumptious pancakes i've eaten. good value for money and most certainly will be returning again. for all you foodies out thereharriespancakes is a must! 👌

my so and myself decided that we'd giveharrieshatfield 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 the filling was not as much as expected, we will definitely return for another seating soon.

the thing i really enjoyed aboutharrieshere is the great service. the waiters and also the manager is kind and welcoming to their customers. i had the traditional breakfast therewith a milkshake to take it down and gosh was it amazing.the environment is peaceful and quiet, definitely a place i would go back and try something new on the menu.

pancakes conjour up images of warm steamy kitchens on rainy days, the smell of cinnamon, sugar and sizzling batter.
so, on an overcast sunday we went toharriesfor lunch.
service is friendly, competent and not even a busload of tourists made a ripple in the flow.
the pancakes is thick and soft, not at all like crepes. sweet and savoury, one is spoiled for choice.
our table had the bobotie and dutch bacon, both delicious with their lucky recipients just digging in!
i had the beef and bean soup served in an enamel bowl with a lid to keep it warm - rustic and traditional. my daughter had chicken vegetable soup.
the soups were simple, flavourful and very moreish.
of cource we tried pancakes with sweet fillings too. i had the milktart custard, it was satisfying and good.
harries is in a small, pretty centre with pleasant street views of jacaranda trees. next door is an excellent curio and gift shop.

never knew there's aharriesin pta, always make sure a stop @ the one in dullstroom. totally love this pancake house.... see you soon......

once drove to dulstroom for lunch atharriesonly to discover there was a branch in pretoria .. enough said ! i love their pancakes - almost always have bobotie with pineapple on the side, they are huge, light & fluffy. took my in-laws on the gautrain and then caught the bus - just for fun - which practically drops you on the doorstep ofharries.. something they should advertise. my hubby decided to have a dessert and had a strawberry preserve pancake, my in-laws had chicken and cashew nuts and then we shared a banana, cream & home made caramel sauce, 'to die for' as they say ! service is prompt, friendly and efficient. just writing this makes me want to go back soon.
