• Thirty Years of Reel Seafood and Real Hospitality •

A Family-Owned Orlando Original Since 1995

For over three decades, High Tide Harry’s has done things the right way. Family owned, proudly local, and rooted in genuine hospitality.

What started as a neighborhood seafood spot near Orlando International Airport has become a favorite for locals and a must visit for travelers.

Through the years, one thing has never changed. Great food, warm service, and making every guest feel at home.

Our Story

Our journey began at the corner of Semoran and East Colonial, where High Tide Harry’s first found its sea legs. That original flagship location was home for 15 great years, filled with loyal locals, first-time visitors, and plenty of unforgettable meals.

As the years went on, the adventure grew. We opened a second location on OBT and proudly operated it for five years, expanding the High Tide Harry’s experience while learning what it truly takes to run a family restaurant.

Eventually, we realized something important… you can’t be in two places at once. Rather than spreading ourselves thin, we made the decision to close both locations and focus on what we do best.

That decision led us to our current and only home on Semoran at Gatlin and Pershing, just two miles north of Orlando International Airport. This move allowed us to bring everything together under one roof and create the High Tide Harry’s experience you know today.

Today, we’re proud to serve food you won’t find everywhere, at prices you won’t find anywhere. Most importantly, we’re grateful to the community that’s kept us going for three decades and counting.
