    The wife and I decided to celebrate Mother's day early as our weekend will be busy with multiple events. We have a desire to visit local businesses and be supportive as they sometimes get forgotten especially when we are having financial concerns nationally. We made a reservation online and upon arrival the extremely nice hostess didn't even check to see if we had one. She just started looking for an empty table and offered one in a great spot. We informed her of the reservation and she thanked us for making one and for choosing them for dinner. She along with the wait staff wanted to know if we were celebrating anything and when we said Mother's day they were very attentive to my wife and were so polite. They brought fresh bread out quickly to our table. We notice the signs sharing that the produce used was provided by local farms. Both of our steaks wagyu and prime rib were amazing. They were hit and the right temperature. The potatoes, loaded and sweet were great. We got dessert to go and will try those this evening. The staff alone made this dinner worthwhile and the great care and cook of the food has confirmed we will be back. We recommend this restaurant to anyone willing to get away for a quiet enjoyable evening. We both felt that the environment was one that encouraged you to communicate which is missing at dinner these days with the focus on cell phones. We will be back!

    Tomahawk Ribeye Steak
    T F.

    My parents recently moved to the area, and one thing we all agree on is a love for a great steak. So when they heard about Harvey John's--and their $45 Tuesday prime rib special--they tried it and loved and brought me while I was visiting. We made a rookie mistake: no reservation. Day before Christmas Eve. The only table available was by the door, which, for us, is a hard no. It was already chilly outside, and sitting by the door means constant drafts, tense shoulders, and food cooling faster with every opening. Not ideal, especially when you're settling in for a proper steak dinner. To their credit, the hostess tried everything--even showing us the reservation layout for the evening. The owner came over personally, and in the end, our options were simple: take the door table or come back at 7:30 pm when more tables would open. We were hungry, but we chose comfort over impatience. My dad left his number just in case a table opened sooner. We went home, had light snacks, and--surprise--got a call at 6:55 pm. Not only was a table available, it was a booth. That alone told me everything I needed to know about how they run this place. Stellar Client Care. When we returned, the owner John Linderman,met us at the door--warm, apologetic, and genuinely appreciative that we came back. The entire staff operates like a well-oiled team, with hospitality that feels intentional rather than performative. It's been a good while since I experienced an owner manager stop by every table to check in. A gesture from better dining times. Now, the food. We ordered: * Stuffed Shrimp with crab meat * Sausage bombs * Prime rib * A tomahawk ribeye to split I don't know if Harvey John's is officially farm-to-table, but the steak tasted incredibly clean--like actual beef. As a native New Yorker living in Los Angeles, I've eaten at many top-tier steakhouses--BOA, Ruth's Chris, Musso & Frank, Nick & Stef's, Steak 48--and I can confidently say this tomahawk was more flavorful and tasted fresher than all of them. Who knew a small-town North Carolina steakhouse would deliver a truly high-end experience? I'm no chef, but I do have a refined palate, and this meal was memorable. Honestly? If Michelin ever looks this way, they should take note. It's comforting to know you can leave one of the biggest food cities in the world and still find a steakhouse worthy of becoming a new regular favorite. Pro tip: Make a reservation--just to be safe. Cheers to Harvey John's.

    Amazing bathroom art

    A steakhouse in Angier. Yes.. you read that correctly. We decided to stop in because I wanted a good steak. The restaurant is very nice and inviting. We were warmly greeted and seated right away. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They told us to check their Facebook page often because they offer a variety of daily specials based on what meat they get that day. prime rib specials. We ordered an appetizer and entrees. The food was quite tasty and came out in a timely manner. When you order an entree the salad bar is included. Some entrees also have a potato option. I recommend stopping in and trying for yourself. I will definitely be back.

    Stopped by Harvey Johns for brunch and it was amazing! The meats (shouts out to the butcher and the shop next door) and the flavors are delicious. The pancakes and the steak and eggs are not to be missed. Service is great and the kitchen is churning out delicious orders left and right. The brunch cocktails are tasty as well. HJ is a quaint, quality dining experience that I personally loved! Will return soon.

    We went here for the first time tonight and it is amazing! Everyone was absolutely wonderful! The minute we walked in the door the hostess greeted us and sat us right away. Our waitress Amy was extremely friendly and helpful. Everything was amazing! I ordered the espresso martini and it was incredible! We will be coming back and bringing the family!

    Spinach and artichoke dip with crostinis
    Amber Marie C.

    We were greeted immediately upon arrival, we had made a reservation online on their website. We were given bowls to visit the included salad bar and presented with bread as soon as we sat down. We ordered a Chianti from their extensive wine menu that had wonderful choices. We started with the spinach and artichoke dip, it was so good, I didn't get a photo before we had all dug in! I ordered the filet, while my mother in law ordered the waygu, and my husband ordered the bacon wrapped bacon pork loin. Every entree comes with your choice of potato, mashed or baked, we ordered one of each. To end, we got the cheesecake sampler and it was fantastic. Our server was very nice, didn't come by very often but it wasn't necessary to, we had several people checking on us regularly. The owner, John, came by our table to chat with us and ask how everything was. Our answer, INCREDIBLE! Everything from the salad and bread to our appetizer and entrees was a hit. It's a family style, barn-esq interior with an open floor plan. It isn't noisy at all, perfect for a family outing or a date night. We were very impressed and will be back!

    I'd say that's medium!!

    Great addition to the quaint town of Angier. Harvey Johns Steakhouse is located to the right of the Angier Meat Market, which, yep....you guessed it, "they get their meat from." Parking is in the same strip mall. I'd recommend calling ahead just to be safe. There's ample seating inside with a small bar top and a few outdoor bar top tables with tower heaters. The inside decor is nice with the wooden accents. The coated concrete floor and high ceilings don't help to deaden sound much, but it's not a deterrent. The staff are all very nice and I commend the front of the house, all female staff. They were great! Food!! I'm not big on pork, but their pork chop description made me crack a sly grimace, haha. And it looks as good as it sounds. The chop sets atop a good-sized portion of risotto (it's not a thin chop either). The risotto was a little miss tonight, not as cooked through, but meh.....risotto is so finicky and usually hit or miss. It paired very well with the pork chop. I ordered the NY Strip, medium. It came out just right. The cut was nice and came out with a slight sear. You get the option to top it with either garlic - herb grass-fed compound butter or Roasted bone marrow gravy , yes.....I did just that . The steaks all come with a potato option, I chose "creamy garlic mashed potatoes". Good sized portion piped onto the plate accompanied by great flavor and texture. Upon being seated, you'll be served salad bowls and rolls (1 per patron). The salad bar is a small bar along the front wall. Rather, uncomfortable salad bar as it sits low. The items were all nice and fresh, but I'm sure it's funny watching taller folks make a salad. The rolls ended up not being eaten; pretty dry. Don't seem in-house made. These were the only 2 "meh's" we had. We look forward to seeing Harvey Johns develop and thrive as it is a great addition to Angier.

    Anniversary Dinner
    Kaylee T.

    We went for an anniversary dinner- salad bar was AMAZING! Service was really good given they were down 2 servers but we didn't feel left out at all. Food was delicious- NY Strip is the way to go. They even took our picture and had a sign for our anniversary.

    Taking a break from the workday, we decided to have lunch at the bar at The Mason Jar Tavern. It…read moreturned out to be a great choice. We struck up conversations with several locals, including a few fellow educators--and even our bartender. There's a genuine sense of community here, and the atmosphere is friendly, relaxed, and welcoming. I went with the Fried Green Tomato BLT, a creative take on the classic sandwich. Instead of the usual tomato, it features two crisp fried green tomatoes paired with candied bacon, lettuce, fresh tomato, and roasted garlic aioli. The combination works particularly well--the tangy, slightly tart fried green tomatoes provide a great contrast to the sweet, smoky bacon, while the roasted garlic aioli brings everything together. At $12, it's a very satisfying lunch. I paired it with a pilsner. The beer selection is particularly noteworthy, given the restaurant's connection to Mason Jar Lager Co., the local Fuquay-Varina brewery. It's a nice touch that reinforces the tavern's connection to the local community. Overall, The Mason Jar Tavern is an exceptionally good casual restaurant--comfortable, welcoming, and the kind of place where you can come in for lunch and easily find yourself lingering a little longer than planned.

The goat cheese is a nice touch. But today is my birthday, so I ordered the ribeye sandwich. It's the best. It's like a Philly Cheesesteak, but instead they use red peppers and American cheese. I am from Wisconsin and though it is sacrilegious to boast about American cheese, I'm telling you it's the best switch up steak sandwich I've ever eaten. I'm never eating another Philly cheesesteak AGAIN. And if I ever cook a steak sandwich at home, I'll try and copy the recipe from the Mason Jar. Many thanks for a delicious #41. And if you're someone leaving bad reviews, I suggest going to church or ashram or temple or something, because we should all be GRATEFUL to be able to eat anything at all! Haven't you ever been through a health crisis where you were unable to eat normally for a prolonged period of time? Czech yourself! Do you know how lucky you are to be ALIVE? Fantastic bar service as well! Peace and Love!

They are known for their boards, I've not had the bruschetta yet but it looks delicious. My favorite board is the hummus. One thing I hate is when a restaurant gives you a big bowl of hummus and not enough pita. That is not the case here, you'll get pita, toasted bread, and a variety of vegetables to scoop up the velvety humus covered in cherry tomatoes, red onion and feta.
