    Amazing time - had by all! Steaks were perfectly cooked to order! Lobster was fresh and tender. Chicken juicy and ribs were fall off the bone! Our waitress Autumn was awesome and fun! And we even got to meet Harold himself. Definitely be back!

    My family was looking for a private room to hold a Celebration of Life event for a loved one and after talking with the manager Peter for about 30 minutes we decided to rent out their private dining room for the event. The food was amazing and the service was perfect. Our server Mike was just awesome and handled the entire event very well. We spoke with our guests and not one of them had a bad thing to say and a lot of them commented on how great Mike was, very attentive and friendly. He was extremely professional and helped keep the mood up and the energy high. We had checked out other places including hotels on the beach with scenic views, but we are so glad we chose Harold Seltzer's because it was just a flawless experience and we were able to focus on being with family in a comfortable setting. Next time we need to have any kind of event, Peter and Mike are our first choice. As I said before the food was amazing, but you can get amazing food at a lot of places. If you want delicious food with great service and a nice atmosphere, Harold Seltzer's tops the list for me.

    The prime rib was BETTER than Ruth’s Chris! And only 40$ for two of us. I was happy to pay $5 to “share” the 2lb prime rib which included two sides!!! I wish this chain was local to us in Boston. The staff were exceptionally professional and fast too.

    So, I want to be honest. First of all, my wife and I LOVED the friendly service! Our waitress was AWESOME! Our first serving was a salad...which I liked and my wife hated. She hated that the salad had only lettuce and one cherry tomato. She was hoping for onions, cucumbers, croutons, etc. I was so hungry, I honestly didn't care. Then we got our steaks, which were wonderful, but my wife paid extra for a side order of lamb chops, and it was a tiny amount. The steaks were really good, but I think their should have been more lamb chops and MORE to the salad for the price. We spent 70+ dollars on our meal tonight...and the amount of food was very small. My wife says we will go to Texas Roadhouse from now on. We did love the service, but the amount of food for the price was scant.

    I Love this place!! I have been going here for years!! Used to go to his uncle's place (same last name) before they closed and it was just as good!! The piece of beef (2 Lb Prime Rib) I had on Thanksgiving would have been $150+ at a more expensive Steak House and not as good. $49 is what I paid!! I Had lunch and dinner with the leftovers!! The sides and salads are good, but the star of the show is the Beef, as it should be!!

    We had a delightful dinner at Harold Seltzer's Steakhouse. We ordered and were served the "best burgers in town." They truly were amazing! Our service was fantastic, too. They offer daily specials. Tonight was 14 ounces of Ribeye for 22 dollars. That is a great deal! They offer a large selection of desserts, too. This restaurant is always full. But the food comes out quickly and you can enjoy fresh hot rosemary buttered rolls while you wait. Best part of this dining experience is sitting across from me. Thank You Jesus for my Gorgeous Husband that I ADORE!!!

    We enjoyed our dinner here. Food and beverages weren’t anything super special but we loved customer service, our waiter, and that the manager came and checked on us. The Brie appetizer WAS amazing! Highly recommend!

    Great steak house. My hubby and I had the prime rib and it was delicious, hubby had the garlic smashed potatoes which he enjoyed and I had the loaded baked potato which was very good. My mom had the BBQ ribs and they were fall-off the bone delicious!

    Harold Seltzer's is one of our favorite restaurants in the St. Pete area. Good food, good drinks, good service, and good prices! Last Monday's prime rib special was cooked perfectly, as requested. Only reason not 5 stars is because of the wait. They could use more servers and busboy's to clean tables. (I know, everyone needs more help! Hiring signs everywhere!)

    Overall a great meal and experience. Filet was cooked perfectly as well as my side of baby back ribs. Hot rolls and fresh croutons were nice. Companion had prime rib and very happy with it. Salad was fresh and delicious. Minus one star because the bbq sauce on ribs was not very good. Also, it was my birthday, and was mentioned, but they didn't offer anything. Usually when you drop $100+ on food and drinks they at least bring a scoop of ice cream. No biggie, but of mention.

    The staff was very nice. Our waitress was great. Restaurant is clean as well as the bathrooms. Food was just ok as I thought it was on the bland side. I ordered a porterhouse and even though it was cooked perfect, it was still very tough. (And very bland as mentioned). Prices are also on the higher side. I'd give this place another chance as like I said the resources itself and the staff were great.

    First time here while we were on vacation and if we ever go back down, we will definitely eat here again! The service was great! Our waitress was very friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu and what to recommend! The bread and croutons were delicious! The food was fantastic!! The steaks cooked just perfectly with just the right seasoning! The sides were great also! Highly recommend this place!!

    I guess the best way I could explain this Restaurant is That the food was just OK .... We ordered 5 appetizers and a New York strip steak We had mozzarella sticks & they were just ok Next where the fried mushrooms Nice and size but the Taste was Just OK ..We also had the wild Onion rose and for some reason the Center of it was not cooked all the way So I think this was the biggest disappointment. & we had the French onion soup that was probably the best tasting Item we had. We also have the Ahi tuna salad 🥗 And a side salad. And last was the New York strip steak. Which was OK I am not putting this steakhouse down but if you're inspecting something like outback you will be A little. disappointed

    Best experience at a restaurant! The owner greeted me, and my girlfriend, Harold, was very polite. They have a slip were you enter your information, and 3 times a year, you receive a few free items on the house. For an anniversary, you get a free bottle of wine. Amazing restaurant the atmosphere is so relaxing. I used to love texas Roadhouse, but Harold's steakhouse showed me a new level of class.

    It wasn't a bad place to go. My tenderloin steak was tender but did lack some flavor. Husband said his prime rib was very good! The place itself is very old school supper club. Very dark inside. Seats were really comfy but there were some things that were very worn. We would be back. Our waitress was nice but our bill was wrong.

    Awesome steaks, medium cooked to perfection. DAVID our server took a long time to acknowledge us, we waited almost 10mins before being attended to, but he sure made up for it quick with Excellent service. Thanks David

  • 4/5 MY 2 C. 3 years ago on Google
    All around very nice and well accommodating staff. We even had Harold himself greet us and the other tables. Had the NY strip and it was very good. Side salad with the vinaigrette also delish. Lobster Bisque and Garlic Mash just ok. First time visit and would definetly recommend and come back. HAPPY THANKSGIVING

    Thanksgiving date night was a hit! Even Harold was working and said hi. That says a lot about someone who takes pride in his business. Always a pleasure going here.

  • 5/5 george s. 3 years ago on Google
    My first time at this restaurant, made reservations and glad i did, ordered one pound prime rib and prepared correctly wasnt sure about 2 sides and ordered yummy salad with hone made honey mustard the side baked potato was small, but loaded, i asked for water and the glass had 2 large cracks, the ice tea was half and half very good. When i sat down the seats really drop which is a sign of an older restaurant. I nearly ordered the thanksgiving giving meal but no photo of what i would eat so i passed. I recommend and i will eat another prime rib.

    I spent my 23rd birthday evening here and Nanna was absolutely amazing!! I honestly have not had this best of a service in a very long time! Thank you Nanna for making my birthday so great and memorable! If you are going to Harold Seltzer’s make sure you are in Nanna’s section!

  • 1/5 Melody Helenek Terrana R. 3 years ago on Google
    Too many reasons to write. Sad. Because I've been enjoying Harold Seltzer's for decades in all their locations. Not today. Not for take out. Pls take us off your email list advising us of your prime rib Monday special, if you're not going to include, even when specifically requested, your creamy horseradish and regular horseradish...we get it all the way back to the hotel to find dry prime rib. With the smallest baked potatoes rolling around the styrofoam container. It's sad because we were trying to celebrate our daughter's birthday.

  • 5/5 Anand P. 5 months ago on Google
    The food is amazing and well priced. They had a lobster special that I thoroughly enjoyed. Great selection of wines as well. Friendly staff and great ambiance.

  • 5/5 Beth B. 6 months ago on Google
    It’s a little old inside but in a nostalgic way I guess. Food was straightforward and well cooked. Salads were fresh, crisp with great dressings and awesome rolls. Staff were all friendly and attentive. Prices are right actually, visiting from Chicago, a very good value for what you get for sure!

  • 5/5 Susan H. 6 months ago on Google
    Our meal was excellent! We shared the 14oz New York Strip Steak. Hubby had the sweet potato fries and salad. I had the baked potato plus salad. The shared plate was $7.99, well worth the price. We both had one drink, plus a glass of water with a lemon twist. The food was fresh, hot, and the service was excellent! We will be back!

  • 4/5 Matthew P. 6 months ago on Google
    Decent place with reasonable prices. Sat outside and enjoyed the fresh air. The prime rib was mediocre and the lobster was over cooked and rubbery.

  • 1/5 Liz L. 1 year ago on Google
    My first time visiting Harold Seltzer’s in St Pete - omitted Steakhouse from the name as this restaurant does not earn that title. Ordered a NY Strip - tasted like something thrown on a cheap grill - poor quality of beef & very thin. Side of mushrooms were awful. Credit given to home made fries - only thing I enjoyed. My husband’s ribeye which cost $2 more was just as bad - thin and poor quality beef. What a BIG expensive disappointment! Waste of a lot of money. No plans to ever return - go to Longhorns! 1-Star is being generous! Overpriced for small, poor quality steaks!! To clarify - I did mention to server and was asked if I wanted to take a side dish home - why would I?

  • 5/5 Layne M. 2 years ago on Google
    Autumn is the best server ever! I’ve never had such an easy and great experience with any restaurant! My family and I met up here for dinner and had loads of lottery tickets for good luck and she cheered us on! Such a wonderful dinner and amazing wine! I’ll absolutely be back!!!

  • 5/5 Sean I. 3 years ago on Google
    This restaurant holds a soft spot in my heart and upon my return to St. Petersburg, I knew it would be one of my first stops. We had a party of 5 and were seated promptly with Connie. The dining room was well spaced out with social distancing protocols nicely adhered to. Connie was efficient and helpful, accommodating some of our picky eaters with little fuss and even helped guide some towards a signature Blueberry Mojito of her design. The bread man Bill, as always, delivered quality, outstanding rolls that would make your mouth melt. The French Onion Soup is prepared traditionally in a small crock with plenty of cheese for those of us who indulge. The 12oz Ribeye was on special and many of our group opted for this. They were not disappointed! From the quality to the temperature, Chef Will does not disappoint! I chose another path, instead going for the highly famed and revered Prime Rib. The temperature of a standing roast at medium rare is a thing some chefs have difficulty with, sometimes it might come out cool. Not at Seltzer’s! My medium rare prime rib came out hot and was the perfect color! My only regret of the evening was not leaving room for the Napoleon desert. Kind, warm people, from the hostess to the managers, Peter and Jay, to the wait staff, all facets of this restaurant fired on all cylinders and ultimately, forced us to try out their alternative location in Clearwater (much closer to our locale) the very next evening! If interested in that experience, check out the review left on their page. All in all, Seltzer’s is a time honored tradition in the Bay Area for many natives and snow birds alike and I will always make sure I make time to stop by. With service and quality standards as this, how can you not?!

    Overall great experience tonight. Our server Rina was prompt and friendly; she greeted us as soon as we sat down. For appetizer we ordered the calamari which was fried to a crispy perfection, along with the Potato skins without bacon. Both apps came out in a timely manner and were quite tasty. I got a ribeye which was cooked perfectly; potato was fresh and fluffy. The lobster tail add on had a crust on it that I didn’t care for, the server removed it from the check. Overall great experience

  • 5/5 Hillary M. 1 year ago on Google
    Corey was an amazing bartender/ server. She pulled double duty and handled herself excellently. I had the surf and turf, steak and lobster tail as a much needed treat. The house cab was a winner.

  • 5/5 Kim V. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Joshua K. 3 years ago on Google
    Was there with friends for my birthday. The waitress was really nice, but I'm assuming she was spread thin. Service started great but then nose dived throughout the remainder of the dinner. 2 of the items on our order never came out. Prime Rib was decent at best ordered medium and got more of a well done. Service was so slow and we were hungry wasn't worth waiting. Understand that the pandemic doesn't make things easy, will give another shot post pandemic

  • 5/5 Greg A. 3 years ago on Google
    All right it's not Bern's steakhouse but for the price you cannot beat their steaks or prime rib. The quality of steaks are there. We order takeout probably once a week and never have been let down😉🤙

  • 5/5 Cathie M. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent meal and service. We've lived here for years and never visited, but we'll definitely be back.

  • 1/5 R S. 3 years ago on Google
    Let me preface this by saying that I did everything I could to resolve this with the delivery service. My prime rib was cold and had no flavor, even the horseradish sauce was bland. I got plenty of croutons and salad dressing, but no salad. I ordered a dessert and it was also missing. There was little that I could do with ubereats because there was no receipt with my order. I am less than pleased and won't be giving them my business again.

  • 5/5 Tei H. 3 years ago on Google

    I had an amazing server! Joey is a great server! He was very attentive to our table! He made sure our food got to us quickly. He kept making sure we were doing good and seeing if we needed anything. I had a very pleasant experience at Harold Seltzer’s! I look forward to coming back and hopefully having him as my server again!

  • 5/5 Danielle T. 3 years ago on Google
    Just had dinner to go. NY strip, Firecracker Shrimp, Lobster Biaque and Potato Skins. It was SO GOOD. The strip was tender and flavorful, button mushroom aplenty. The Shrimp were large and perfect. We got the food to go, because you know, there's a pandemic out there. FANTASTIC FOOD!! This was our 3rd wedding anniversary and it couldn't have been better.

  • 3/5 Elena B. 3 years ago on Google
    The person who gets the pick up orders ready was fabulous. I almost left main dish and sides. They should number the bags if more than 1. The food was small portions, higher prices and 2 items on menu not available. Especially mushroom side no flavor and not fresh, canned. Disappointed was my Christmas dinner.

  • 4/5 Brook B. 3 years ago on Google
    Husband and I both had the 1lb prime rib. I ordered medium rare and it was a very nice cut. My husband ordered his medium and his cut was quite poor. Very full of grizzle and fat and not very much edible meat. Our server was on point and had we complained, I am sure he would have done something. The blackberry spritzer was absolutely perfect.

  • 1/5 Larry H. 3 years ago on Google
    Not the best. Longhorn is much better. Bread had a taste like Italian seasoning was on it. Appetizer was cold. Ordered steak, medium. It was "medium rare". Ranch and Ceasar Dressing had a wierd taste. Not typical Ranch or Ceasar, had a tangy touch to it. Maybe Covid has had an impact on there staffing. Just wasn't satisfied over all. Longhorn will be my next stop.

  • 5/5 Erin J. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this place. I always get the prime rib. Very little fat on it. I am impressed. Also , I love that they give a veterans discount. Fresh hot rolls straight from the oven. Great place. I have never had bad service at Harold Seltzers.

    Single Harold Seltzers good for Thanksgiving on the run. After work very nicely do glad it there Rhonda Laine

  • 4/5 Mark H. 3 years ago on Google
    I love this place however tonight I was a little disappointed, no longer do they bring fresh made croutons without asking and a steak was prepared incorrectly. My 1lb prime Rib was excellent, the 9 0z filet was extremely undercooked. Still will give it another chance. Just being honest.

  • 5/5 chet s. 3 years ago on Google
    Steaks cooked perfect. (3) Waitress was on top of her game. Sauteed mushrooms were fantastic! Manager stoped by twice during our time there. Very friendly. Glad to see they were able to hang in there with COVID.

  • 4/5 Murray V. 3 years ago on Google
    Not as good as the original Sam Seltzer’s ( that could be nostalgia) but still better than National chains. Great prime rib and steaks.

  • 5/5 Robbie D. 3 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Barry L. 3 years ago on Google
    When a nicely dressed older couple arrive at 7pm for dinner, at least ask them if they want to sit in the bar, don't just take them their directly and cause them to ask to be moved. And don't use COVID as an excuse, it was pure laziness as the dining room had plenty of open seats while still maintaining social distancing rules. Wife ordered 6oz filet, medium and I ordered 16oz bone in ribeye special, medium rare. Steaks came backwards, hers was medium rare and mine was essentially well done. Returned both, hers for a little fire and mine was a redo. Waiter was all over the issue, handled well and friendly. Steaks came back, hers was now medium and mine looked like it might be medium rare, but once I cut into it the color of the meat was not a nice red or pink, it was greyish/purpleish/back. The consistency felt like medium rare, but as the waiter immediately determined that the steak had probably "bled out". Now I am smart enough to understand that steaks don't actually have blood in them which makes them red, so the term is not proper, but just hearing the explanation and the color of the meat did not incline me to want them to try a third time. I was offered to have my meal removed from the bill, which sounds like a nice gesture, but what was the alternative, to charge me for something I never ate? I was also offered anything on the menu as compensation for the mishap, but all I could stand to order was potato skins, as I could not stomach the thought of another steak from this place, as what I saw was truly one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen, certainly not appetizing, both from a visual perspective as well as the way the waiter described it. Hard to fault the wait staff, they did great, handled it well. Cannot say that I will give them another shot to be honest, hard to ignore what I saw and obtain an appetite for it....
