Harbor Steak House

EXPERIENCE

Harbor Steak House gives Sunday dinner a reason to linger: bottomless perch in a Keego Harbor restaurant that dates to 1938. The special belongs to the dining room, with repeat servings of fish rather than a trip through a buffet line. For a table that likes a traditional fish dinner, it is an inviting way to make a neighborhood steakhouse part of the weekend.

The restaurant has welcomed a new family of owners while keeping its longstanding place on Orchard Lake Road. Inside, dark wood, stone columns and tables set for dinner give the room its steakhouse character. The bar adds another place to settle in. Regulars praise the welcome and service, that continues despite the change of hands.

There is a larger dinner menu here, so companions who prefer an individual steak or another entrée can choose their own meal. Sunday perch is the unlimited offering; the restaurant’s Friday and Saturday prime rib dinners are a different occasion. That gives a group some freedom without turning the fish special into an all-you-can-eat version of the whole menu.

Sunday service begins in the afternoon and carries through dinner. The appeal is uncomplicated: a familiar restaurant setting, a complete perch plate and the option of more fish. It suits a Sunday catch-up with family or friends who would rather let dinner take its time.
