Pies are the drawcard, chunky beef, curry chicken, pepper steak and tiger varieties come topped with mashed potato, mushy peas and gravy, and locals praise the flavourful fillings, generous portions and good value.

About Harry’s Café de Wheels - Tempe

Harry's Café de Wheels in Tempe is the branch of a Sydney name that has been serving pies for about 80 years. The original caravan sits near the Woolloomooloo naval dockyard, and this Tempe outlet carries the same classic menu. It has a 1950s drive-in diner look, its own car park and indoor seating, so it's an easier stop than the curbside original.

Pies are the draw here. The chunky beef pie piled with mashed potato, mushy peas and gravy features on the menu, and tiger pie, hotdogs and chilli con carne are also available. We've heard a spicy black pepper pie went down especially well with someone on a recent visit, and a curry chicken, a beef chunk and a veggie pie got a thumbs up from one table of visitors. The chips impressed one local who called them the best they'd had in Sydney. Portions are generous, the pricing is seen as fair, and the pies come out fresh from the oven.

Staff get plenty of kind words. One visitor was won over by a warm welcome from Patrick, and another by the girl on the counter whose energy lifted the whole visit. We've heard the odd grumble about the quality of a particular order, and some feel the menu gets thin late in the evening, with fewer choices once the night wears on.

Service options are flexible: dine in, takeaway or delivery, with seating inside and outdoors. It's good for kids, and there's a wheelchair-accessible car park. Coffee, vegetarian options and a dessert menu are on offer, and they trade across breakfast, lunch and dinner, with hours stretching late into the evening, especially towards the weekend.

If you're after a late feed in Tempe, it's worth checking the hours and what's still available before you head over, particularly after the dinner rush has passed.
