Harry's Place is located on Knott Avenue, just north of Lincoln. You can't miss the orange sign. Both times that I've gone there, I've ordered the kids' meal grilled cheese. It's pretty legit, it comes with fries, and the whole meal costs less than four bucks. Also, they totally don't care that I'm not 12 or under. Aaron, on the other had, has not had the best time at Harry's place.
The first time we went, he ordered the bean and cheese burrito. Hard to screw up, yes? In this case, it indeed was hard to screw up and Aaron was fairly satisfied with it. Having relinquished some trust, Aaron decided to move forward in his relationship with Harry's and order the chicken burrito. After, of course, scrutinizing the menu for half an hour and peppering the cashier girl with questions. Cashier Girl claimed to really like the chicken burrito. If I recall correctly, she said that it was "one of her favorites."
Halfway through our meal, I noticed that Aaron wasn't wearing a happy face. In fact, his face looked more like that of a man consigned to spend his two-weeks paid vacation with his mother-in-law. "What's wrong?' I queried.
"This isn't very good", he responded.
"Why don't you tell them that and get something else?"
"Nah."
So he continued to pick at it. I felt pretty bad for him. He's so considerate of the cook's feelings.
When we got in the car, he looked over at me, his countenance both green and sly.
"You know what that burrito tasted like?", he rakishly posed. I anxiously awaited his description.
"Like someone took a tortilla and farted in it."

That was a seriously nasty toot burrito.
Aaron ate chicken!
Hey Amanda,
I found your blog whist I was doing a search for my church. The posting for Harry's Place--which is near my home--came up so I thought I'd take a peek.. I was laughing at the description of the chicken burrito. Poor Aaron.
I've learned over the years that when you visit a primarily burgers joint, you should stick with those. Kinda like going to a Chinese restaurant and ordering a cheeseburger. Not good.
In any event, I hope Aaron doesn't write off Harry's Place altogether. Their breakfast burritos are pretty good. :-)
Nice blog! Keep this one up. Since we're in the OC, I'd love to hear about places I haven't yet visited. The yoghurt place is one.
If I may suggest something: try out Watson's Drug store in the Orange traffic circle. That place awesome. Makes you long for the old days.
Blessings to you!
Joe.
Yo Amanda,
Thanks for commenting my blog. So far I've only reviewed a few products (hot sauce), but I guess I wouldn't hesitate to review restaurants if I thought they were good.... Hum, just gave me a thought....
Don't worry, "reviewsmatter" is all yours. I just may post a restaurant review here and there in the OC area.
In any event, I've added "reviewsmatter" to my blog. Not that you're going to get a huge volume of traffic, but I like to put up links to blogs/sites I like.
Have a blessed day!
Joe.
