We wanted to bring a little bit of Florida to the Great Smoky Mountains. Then our company under the guidance of Ron Evans opened our Crab House concept which is nestled the Lashley Park and Marina that has grown into Harpoon Harry’s Crab House here in beautiful Pigeon Fore TN. Soon after that we opened The Captain Table located above Harpoon Harry’s overlooking Charlotte in Fisherman’s Village. Our company started with the original Harpoon Harry’s Open Air, Boat-Casual Seafood Restaurant on Charlotte Harbor in 1993. Harpoon Harry’s Crab House is a unique multifaceted, indoor/outdoor, 650 seats dining facility specializing in great Seafood, Sushi, Steaks, Sandwiches, Pasta dishes, Comfort foods and Spirits. The restaurant and restrooms were very clean, and prices were very reasonable.Harpoon Harry's Crab House About Harpoon Harry's Crab House We were told that they get their pies from “Kitters?” but whoever made it makes excellent pie. We had to top off the meal with a piece of Key Lime pie. Plenty of tender roast beef with hand made mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley. The two tacos each had a large piece of grilled fish filet with the traditional taco toppings. My fish tacos were EXCELLENT! Probably the best fish tacos that I have ever tasted. I ordered the shrimp tacos and my wife ordered the roast beef dinner (who orders roast beef in a seafood paradise?). We were immediately seated in a nice booth and were greeted with ice water and great sweet tea immediately. Harpoon Harry’s filled all three AND it was relatively close to the Key West Express terminal. We wanted a spot with good food, reasonable prices and with the Key West vibe. We needed a place for lunch in a Key West visit. Needless to say I don't recommend this establishment. When we left the waitress was still loudly saying negative things. It was over all cold and the worst item I was served so far on our trip. It had 4 small, thin slices of bacon and two slices of tomato, lettuce and mayonnaise. He insisted that he had knowledge of marketing and never apologized or even said he understood our point. My husband asked if the owner could see why we didn't know being as it was at the bottom and most people read left to right and too to bottom. My husband asked to see the menu and yes it was on there at the bottom which neither of us read all the way to the bottom because we found the menu item we wanted before getting to the bottom. He also got defensive and explained that it was on the door and on the menu. We let him know again that we weren't informed and my husband made the suggestion that it is not typical and that a verbal notification would be helpful. The manager was confused as to who she was speaking of so I invited him to our table to talk about it. She told her manager and was being demeaning toward us. She took the cash and walked away from our table saying how rude we were loud enough the whole restaurant could hear. We are cash only." My husband explained that we weren't aware of that and said that it was a good thing he had $100 cash on him. When the waitress brought our check we presented a credit card. My husband and I were not verbally told that it was a cash only establishment. It was posted on the door and at the bottom of the menu.
