Dirty Dan Harris Steakhouse Revival

Help Us Bring a Fairhaven Legend Back to Life!

With over 40 years of combined experience in the restaurant industry, we’ve dedicated our careers to creating memorable dining experiences, training great teams, and building community through food. Now, we have the chance to bring back one of Fairhaven’s most beloved landmarks, Dirty Dan Harris Steakhouse.

This isn’t just a business plan; it’s our passion and our promise to restore a place full of memories, create local jobs, and keep a 50+ year tradition alive. With your support, we can open the doors once again, welcome old friends and new faces, and serve up the meals and moments that make Fairhaven special.

Why This Matters

Dirty Dan Harris Steakhouse has been a part of Fairhaven’s story for over half a century. When we closed in 2023 after damage from the tragic fire at the Terminal building next door, it felt like losing a piece of the neighborhood’s heart. Now, we’re ready to rebuild, not just the restaurant, but the sense of community it represents.
