On May, 17th, 2026 a tornado took the roof off of my 78 year old veteren brother-in-law's home in…read morethe Pierson, Iowa area. Then it rained for 12 hours, resulting in extensive water damage and eventually mold set in due to the extreme heat. Ken has also been fighting cancer for 14 years, and not only am I his sister in law, I'm also his caregiver. His home of almost 40 years was yellow tagged, and because the apt that I live in only allows a guest, but not their pets for up to 2 weeks, Ken could not bring his 2 emotional support animals to my place. Therefore, and because I didn't want to seperate him from his beloved animals, I found a motel that would accept his chihuahuas, and it just happens to be in the Sioux City, Iowa area. To make a long story short, while looking for a good restaurant to eat at, one where Ken could eat his favorite meal, which is eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, toast, and coffee, and I wanted liver and onions, we stumbled upon Harvey's Military road in Sioux City, and I'm glad that we did! The place was super clean, they give you HUGE portions, and talk about fast and friendly service! Not only was our waitress Cayla super nice, so was the cook, Cody. And come to find out, they're twins! I have twins in my family, and when Cayla had a few minutes to spare, she approached our table, and we chatted briefly about multiples, as well as what brought us to Harvey's that particular day. So, as far as Ken and I are concerned, Harvey's is at the top of our list, as far as eating establishments that not only offer delicious food, but is also really clean, and most importantly, the staff is super friendly! So for those of you reading this review, whenever you're in the Military Road area in Sioux City, and you're hungry, stop at Harvey's restaurant, and you won't be dissapointed! Thank you Harvey's, especially Cayla and Cody! PS- make sure to come with an empty stomach and a hearty appetite! Diana and Ken
