Amazing food. Service is always great. The prime rib sandwich is amazing as well as the steak. My fiancé and I try and go here once a year on our anniversary or for one of our birthdays as a nice treat! read more

We had a wonderful experience at Harvey's! The food was very tasty with great portions sizes. And, the staff were wonderful and very attentive. We were celebrating our Anniversary and the manager came to our table and told we were getting a free dessert in honor of our special occasion. Definitely will come back when we are back in Columbus! read more

Arrived around 12:45 and got a table after an hour wait. Then after waiting almost an hour at the table all we received was an appetizer and drinks (even had an error with that) . Our waiter was more interested in chatting with other patrons than taking orders. Our food was only brought out after wishing to speak with the manager. I would not recommend this location to anyone, completely ruined Mother's Day read more

We had been waiting for an hour and 15 minutes for for food. When it came it was ice cold. Managers excuse was they were busy. No kidding its a restaurant. read more

Harveys sent me a solicitation about their Happy Hour deals so my wife and I went to the restaurant only to discover that there was no Happy Hour. I wrote to the manager directly about the situation and received no response. We will not be returning - there are better places to go in Columbus read more

Harveys sets the standard for great sit down restaurants in Columbus. If they would only bring back the wings they would be perfect. But everything else is great. read more

Went for a birthday celebration at the one in Columbus on 2/12. Got there and ordered at 7:30, didn't get food until over a hour later. The food came out cold. Sent food back. They brought our food back out at almost 10 in a to-go bag. We waited 30 more minutes for our tickets that were all wrong. The managers were not a bit concerned. Called in to speak with district manager last week. Still not call back. Went back in the restaurant to eat yesterday and spoke with a manager. She did not seem to have a care in the world about the situation. On 2/14, went to the one in Starkville and had a bug in my drink. Nothing was done about that nor have I received a callback in regards to that either. Harvey's is my favorite restaurant, but these past experiences within the past week have really made feel different. read more

The salmon was amazing and our server whose name is Christian was nothing less than amazing, sweet, friendly and professional he did an amazing job. read more

Very friendly staff, excellent service. Food is exquisite. Plenty of room, has a nice feeling to the place as well.

I ordered eggs Benedict. The waiter asked how I wanted the eggs. I have never been asked how I wanted a poached egg before and I told the waiter that. He insisted that I told him how I wanted it cooked. Instead of arguing I said medium. When I got the eggs Benedict the eggs were fried not poached. The piece of ham was so hard I couldn't cut it with a knife and there was no hollandaise sauce on it at all. read more

This restaurant sucked. The cajun redfish was awful and the baked potato was cold. How does that happen? Our waiter (William) was MIA most of the night. When we complained about the fish and baked potato he said, "Maybe next time you should order something else." He also said, "It's the day after Labor day so nobody wants to work so that why the food was probably bad." The only good point of the night was when the hostess seated us. read more

Such good customer service. Went there on my birthday as part of a big group and they gave me a free replacement drink because the first one wasn't correct. read more

Love this location in Columbus! The restaurant owner was very attentive and friendly. Our food was cooked to perfection. As a first time customer I would more than excited to return! read more

This place is always amazing, wonderful service. The best food in Columbus. I love the catfish. And, all of the steaks are wonderful. Get then milkshake even though it isn't in the menu. read more

Madison made our experience so wonderful! She's prompt, and so knowledgeable about the menu! I love the knew updates at the location! Will definitely be back and ask for Madison! read more

Great food and great drinks....I'll be back the next time I'm in town. Had the lemon pepper chicken...yummmmm

Stephanie, our sweet server, was amazing.. the manager was great.. but.. the food was cold and the steaks were over cooked.. so if we go back we won't order steaks .. but the salad, bread and dessert were good! read more

When my son went to the Mississippi School of Math and Science in 1996, Harvey's was the standby place we would go eat dinner when visiting or when my son had off campus privileges. My son had three standbys he always enjoyed there- the french dip sandwich, the fried cheese appetizer, and the teriyaki rib-eye. Passing through Columbus for the first time in almost 20 years, I decided to stop by for lunch. I ordered the fried cheese appetizer, which was still the hand breaded original. The fried cheese is still prepared with thick logs of cheese, hand breaded with a light flour coating, fried up crispy and thin. I was sorry I was alone to enjoy this appetizer but finished it slowly as I remembered pleasant times in the good old days. The teriyaki rib-eye was equally as good as I remembered. Thoroughly marinated with a deep beef taste, this steak is outstanding because it lacks the syrupy taste of teriyaki coating found in so many places that don't take the time to marinade properly. It was a great lunch with a vegetable kebab as the side which was fresh and tasty with a real grill char. Really hated that I couldn't try the french dip sandwich but I'll have to save that for the next time. read more

Columbus is fortunate to have a few excellent eateries, and Harvey's ranks near the top. The food is very good and the service, friendly & efficient. The Delta Chicken came highly recommended, and didn't disappoint, although I might opt for something with a little less gravy, and a few more veggies, next time. read more

The Fettuccine Romano is outstanding -- Italian sausage, ground hamburger, onions, garlic, crushed tomatoes, roasted red bell peppers, olive oil, parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Now be forewarned, this is fairly greasy -- they could probably stand to use a bit less olive oil and I'm not a big fan of the basil. It's pretty strong. But this is still a great dish. The bread pudding is to die for, and I don't even usually like bread pudding. A big slab of French bread baked with vanilla custard, granny smith apples, and pecans, DRENCHED in bourbon sauce and dusted with powdered sugar. This stuff is heavenly. The atmosphere is kind of fancy -- the type of place you would take a date or have a business lunch. I always preferred to get my food to go. You can pull up to the curb in the back and they will bring it out to you. It's expensive, but I usually got three meals out of it. read more

Perfect blackened catfish. Wonderful spinach. Couldn't get enough of the grits (and I don't really like grits). Even my roll and salad were great. I ate at the bar and the service was flawless and very personable. I couldn't have felt more at home. I've eaten at all the "good spots" in Columbus and this was the best meal and experience I had. read more

Terrible service and the marinade ribeye was 40% fat. I will never be back here to eat. Arrived at 7:01 and no one even spoke to me until 7:32pm ... terrible service and the waitress I had (college girl) was more interested in her peers than servicing me. I was sadly disappointed in the food, the service .. EVERYTHING. I could have got a better cut of meat at Arby's. read more

I had no problem being here. The food was great, the crab cakes were amazing, the steak marinaded in the pineapple juice was delicious, and the bathrooms were clean. Will be coming back for more read more

We love walking down to Harvey's and sitting at the bar and grabbing dinner! The fried mushroom appetizer is phenomenal. The crawfish salad, prime rib sandwich, Cajun pasta, and delta chicken are the best entrees by far. They have some really spectacular cocktails on the menu and the margarita is fresh and delicious! Service is always great and the prices are on point. read more

I reserved the "private area" and paid my deposit to have to share with others that were not with my party the day of my dinner. The food took hours to come. I don't recommen having a large party here. Also the manager did not do anything about the people in my area read more

EXTREMELY IMPRESSED! I had the filet mignon with the cheddar/jalapeño grits and broccoli. The filet was out of this world, I ordered it medium and it was cooked perfectly. I rarely write reviews but I felt I had to for this. The filet was one of the best I've had in a while. Alex served me tonight and did an outstanding job. He was friendly, attentive and on point. Definitely will be returning next trip to Columbus. read more

Delicious! I was in town for work and everyone said "go to Harvey's!" And I'm so glad I did. The steak was perfectly cooked and had a lot of flavor. The broccoli bites where mighty tasty too! I would skip the bread pudding.. It was so so., Ask for Deborah. She was such a sweetheart and a AMAZING server. Great southern, hometown service. Don't forget to tip her great because she deserves it;) read more

I can't think of anything I have ever eaten here that isn't good!! Broccoli bites mushrooms great appetizers - love the salad always so fresh the small cheese bread has been on the side since I was in high school yummy!!! Steaks great here - my kids love the chicken tenders - good hamburger- chicken and fixins good!! My daughter got crab cakes tonight!! Excellent!! Husband got surf and turf which he said was great!! They usually have fresh fish selection and I get that but tonight halibut was fresh fish I did not want that!! Finished with amazing bread pudding!! It's a safe selection for dinner I this area!! read more

We had a reservation at 630, and was not served our waters after half an hour because of a confusion as to who was serving us...we then waited another half an hour. However, when the food finally came out it was really good. read more

We went here with the big boss for dinner on the company. It was okay, not great, but pretty decent. I had the almond crusted grouper with rice pilaf. The fish was very good, but the pilaf was just over salted rice. I'm not a big rice fan to start out with, but pouring tons of salt all over it only makes it worse. The place was packed on the Thursday night that we were there, and our food and drinks were handled by about six different servers, which is always annoying because they never know who gets what. read more

Went here last night with high expectations. They were not met. The waitress that finally waited on us was very good, they just weren't sure for a bit who was waiting on our table. Crab cakes were good but minuscule in size. My wife had the teriyaki steak on skewer that she described as good but wouldn't order again. For my order, the Caesar salad was good, potato was small but hot and cooked well, the 4 cheese macaroni was cold and would've been good had it been hot. Finally the prime rib. I should've complained but it's not something I normally do, I ordered rare and this was almost well done, not juicy at all and virtually no flavor. This was my first and last trip to Harvey's. Obviously others have eaten better food there but for me it was the worst prime rib I've ever had and I get prime rib almost every time it's available where we are eating. read more

Their to go service is amazing. I would go here just because you don't have to get out of your car. You call, place your order, and then you just have to pull up to one of two designated spots. They bring the food right to you. The steak sandwich I got was fantastic. There are tons of regular parking spots, too. read more

Harvey's is a very middle-of-the-road restaurant. There are dishes here you will not regret eating but nothing that will excite you and require a return visit. That said, there are not a lot of good dining options in Columbus and Harvey's is one of the better choices. The prime rib sandwich is usually dependable. The rosemary chicken kebob is tasty. The lemon pepper chicken is decent. I enjoy the club salad. The craft beer selection is slender. read more

The other steakhouse was closed on Sunday, so I checked out this place. Curiosity of YELP. I decided to drive 2 miles and check it out. It was Sunday and around 5pm. As I pulled into the parking lot, it wasn't full. I thought, a dump or a treasure. I found a treasure. I walked into the place and sat at the bar. The bartender, a nice young lady, was very good at service and very attentive. I ordered a Lazy Magnolia Brown Ale. It was good, I looked over the menu and the options were plentiful. Randi Lee(?) asked me if I would like an appetizer. Beer was my appetizer. I ordered the NY Strip(medium), with a Caesar Salad and the Smoked Cheddar & Jalapeno grits. I got my salad first and it was a typically Caesar salad, only problem 4 croutons. A couple more please. I ordered another beer, same one, and my food came. Everything looked great. The Grits were awesome, and the Steak was cooked excellent. Nice pink and a nice char. I was really very,very,very, satisfied with my experience. Just Great!!! read more

My family and I drove into Mississippi to celebrate my grandmother's 93rd birthday. After the celebration, some of our family members decided to go into town for dinner at Harvey's which had great reviews. We called ahead but was told that they did not take reservations. Upon entering the restaurant and checking in we overheard a young lady state the a table was ready for the reservation. I immediately asked if they took reservations as we had been told over the phone no. Before I could get the entire sentence out, the hostess threw up her hand and said, "Hold on, let me get you together. We do but not after a certain point." I stood in disbelief for a second at which I told her I understood just wish that would have been explained on the telephone. Unbeknownst to me, as I was turning to walk away, my sister witnessed that same hostess tell another waitress that "I'm not in a hurry to seat them." It was later explained that she was not speaking about us per se but regardless, this should not be stated about any customers waiting for service. After 1.5 hours of waiting with no check-in or update, I approached the hostess stand to see where we were on the list and the hostess stated that another party that we all saw come in after us was next and then she would seat us. At this point, I asked for a manager. She brought over a gentleman that I would later find out is the banquet floor manager. After telling him of our concerns, he stated he would take care of it but then disappeared to the back of the house for the next 15-20 minutes. I then went back and asked for the gentleman I spoke with at which point the restaurant manager approached. I explained to her the problem at which time, the hostess got huffy when I explained her tone, lack of communication and follow up. She then proceeded to put her hands in my elderly father's face when he was trying to explain the dynamics that had been occurring during our wait. At his point, we are 2 hours into the wait with hungry anxious kids (4 of them), 3 elderly adults and just want to leave. I will give credit to the Manager Molly for trying to make things right but it was an hour too late. We have since spoken with the corporate office and commend them for working to correct the mistakes for that evening. We hope to return in the near future with a better experience. read more

Dining in available but takeout is still quite tasty! Good option to have. Blackened catfish hit the spot.

I frequently go to the Harvey's in Starkville, MS and absolutely love the entire environment, food and servers. Due to weather conditions, the Harvey's in Starkville, MS made a reservation for my party at the Columbus Location for a surprise Birthday Party. Upon arriving, the hostess immediately said oh yes for five people, which had ruined the entire surprise celebration which has been planned for a few weeks. The Birthday girl and I were sat at a completely different table than the rest of our party, who had already ordered drinks. The bartender was very rude and forced them to close out their tabs rather transferring the tab to the waiter who was suppose to take care of our table, I worked in a restaurant and this is possible to do and is not difficult. Finally, my entire party and I were seated together and we ordered drinks. The bartender who was unprofessional made an unexceptionally rude comment to the remainder of our guests for not giving her a tip, her exact words were "well you didn't tip me at all". This had made our entire party uncomfortable and we all wanted to leave immediately but we were celebrating our cherished friends birthday. Previously working in a restaurant, I am fully aware of how it all works but it is unacceptable to hire classless workers who begs and almost force for customers to give a tip when the mistake in service was not the customers fault and is the front of house's mistake. I am beyond displeased with this unprofessionalism, and will never recommend this location to anyone!! My friends who birthday it was tonight, had never gone to Harvey's and she was utterly displeased with this service and does not ever want to come back ever again!! She said it was a complete mistake to ever come to this location in the first place! Management needs to hire better employees who don't scrutinize their customers and beg for tips when a mistake was made in the front of the house!! UNACCEPTABLE & UNPROFESSIONAL!! Classless!! read more

This is one of the "best" places in town. Probably true, but it says more about the town's low expectations than the restaurant's high standards. That said, I heard it used to be very good. This is a small town without a lot of choices, so I do eat there, and will continue when out of other options. To be positive, best choices are the shrimp and grits and baked beans (not together). On the negative, the beef is marinades in such a strong pineapple marinade, that it has no beef flavor. A plus for those that dont like the taste of meat, but a negative if you want your beef to taste of beef. The grilled chicken topped with barbeque sauce, ham, and cheese is too much of a good thing. The barbeque sauce overwhelms the ham and cheese. There are few choices for those that have to avoid wheat. To sum it up, you pays your money and you takes your chances. read more

My favorite restaurant when I come home to visit. Today's visit was different as everything took way too long and all of the managers were sitting right there. ( I'm sure having a meeting. )I had to basically flag someone down to take care of the check. This should never happen. Kaelyn our server was very accommodating. I could tell she was had a lot of responsibility-the inside as well as the car side to go orders. The food was great nonetheless and I'll be back. read more

Wow, not enough positive phrases to describe this place!!! We are traveling through from out of town and there's a reason they call Columbus the friendly city. We were seated right away by a very friendly host, and the food came quickly. It was perfectly flavored and well cooked. We ordered the salmon and Mahi Mahi. The manager/owner came over and recognized that we were first time customers and comped our appetizer for us. Love that you can also do touchless paying by scanning a code on your receipt. Will definitely recommend and have to return next time I pass through town. read more
