I visited the Harvest after a long day of working outside in below freezing weather. That is to say we were all tired and hungry and looking forward to a sandwich place that a local highly recommended to us. We went around 4pm and there were a few people in the shop. I'm not 100% sure what to call this place... a restaurant? Grocery? Butcher? It certainly fits all of those to an extent.
There is a small deli in the back where they make sandwiches to order. I was disappointed to see they use plain bread from a grocery store, but they do have white and wheat options which helped. There's quite a bit of meat to choose from and put on your sandwich. I got the mesquite turkey and thought it was excellent. I do wish I had combined it with another meat though, to bulk up the sandwich and add some flavor (though the amount of meat I was given was generous- not a skimpy Subway level of meat). The lettuce she put on the sandwich tasted a little old. They don't have much in the way of toppings; there was lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, mayo, mustard, salad dressing (a southern sandwich topper, not actual salad dressing), and I think that was about it.
The sandwiches are simple and I expected to still be hungry after eating it but soon realized it was the perfect size. Plus, it only cost $2.40! An excellent deal for a good homemade sandwich. They price the sandwiches by weight so if you get more meat it will be a little bit more.
The grocery area has lots of necessities- fresh produce, locally made canned goods, some dairy products, and a lot of meat. Their prices on meat were exceptional and while they didn't have a lot to choose from, they did have quite a bit and it all looked to be high quality. There are also snacks available there like chips, cookies, moon pies, and a variety of sodas and bottled drinks.
A few things to note: they didn't appear to have a bathroom for guests and if they did it was likely through and office or kitchen and not easily accessible. Not a huge deal but I do prefer a more accessible bathroom that doesn't require specifically asking for it and having to be led to it.
There is no indoor seating. There is outdoor seating that looks nice but when we went it was below freezing and not ideal.
Everyone working there was very friendly and happy to chat or help us decide what to get on our sandwiches.
On the outside, The Harvest really looks like a hole in the wall but don't let that scare you off! It's a nice stop for a classic sandwich and snack that won't hurt your budget and is a much more local experience than Subway would be. read more
