OffTheTrailsOffTheTrails.com drops in at Harry's

Harry and the Natives, in Hobe Sound, is a great place to go. It’s fun and unpretentious, with delicious food, priced reasonably. Our lunch today was a gator burger, something new for us. The sandwich was tasty and tender. It comes with a choice of slaw, potato salad, fries, or cucumber salad. The salad was tasty! They have mimosas on the menu, so MaryJo had to try one. Greg had a beer. Total before tip was $28.25. Visit their website »
