Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend Harvey's as a favorite dining option in Columbus. Poor dining experience on 21 Feb 2019, followed up to restaurants General Manager via web "contact us" on 26 Feb 2019, followed up to restaurants CEO via web "contact us" on 6 Mar 2019, followed up to CEO via US Post Office mail on 12 Mar 2019. Today is 18 Mar 2019 and I have never heard from anyone at Harvey's, clearly our poor dining experience and three "contact us" attempts haven't registered with the company's leadership. 21 February 2019 restaurant experience. Host was very pleasant. Server was prompt and took drink/app order, even up sold us to the extra pour on wine. Order taken and we really had to laugh at trying to upsell .25 for egg or cheese added to a salad (maybe raise the price of all salads .25 and then offer complimentary egg or cheese). For an "upscale" restaurant we just thought this was funny. Ordered Prime Rib/Potato/Salad and Shrimp &Grits/Salad. Meal arrived and Shrimp & Grits were fine - Prime Rib was cold, and tough (I did ask for an end cut) but it was leather tough and had zero flavor. For a "house specialty and melt in your mouth tender" it was extremely disappointing. It almost seems as if the prime rib came off the food service truck precooked ready to be warmed and served. Baked potato was not cooked through at all, top portion was soft but bottom half was rock hard and cold. Server either got busy or something else as another server finally came by and returned with horseradish. Then we finally got iced tea/water refills. Shame on me for not voicing that my meal was cold and flavorless then and there, however we had after dinner plans and did not want to be delayed, nor did I want to ruin our date night. Harvey's has always been a steady local restaurant for special occasions, business dinners, and date night, however this night was a serious fail. read more

My 12 ounce prime rib was 7 ounces of fat. My husband and I ate there about five years ago and had a bad experience. Maybe will try again in another five years. read more

Traveling from California and the moment we walked through the door we were greeted with southern hospitality we all hear about! We were immediately seated and taken care of. We had just flown all day and were starving. We started with the broccoli bite appetizer and those were so yummy. Our salads came out they were fine but just drenched with dressing. For dinner I had the shrimp and grits and my husband had the catfish and grits. Both were great. We ended with the bread pudding and it was sooooooo good. Our waitress was darling and very attentive! Was a great start to this work trip! read more

Service was terrible but the food made up for it. Blackened catfish had great flavor and the crab cakes were awesome. The prime rib sandwich is also delicious. You can never go wrong with the ribeye. Enjoyed sitting at the bar with the delicious cocktail options. read more

My last visit here I had poor service and always want to give a restaurant the benefit of the doubt so I went again for lunch today. It was not very crowded at all. I experienced an 8 minute arrival time for my server after I was seated. Once I was able to place my order, and after 31 minutes, my food arrived. This as the two table seated well after me received their food. I will never go back, as Columbus has restaurants with comparable food and better service. read more

Friend green tomatoes were yummy & hit the spot! Marinated ribeye was amazing & perfectly cooked! Prime rib was good. Black & Bleu salad was good. I look forward to returning and trying the shrimp & grits next time. read more

The food is always freshly cooked and the staff is attentive and friendly. Their soups are freshly made daily and are out of this world. You can order anything on the menu and you will be pleased. read more

I have been a Harvey's fan since forever! The cheese sticks, cheese bread with your salad, fried mushrooms and more delish dishes can't be beat (these are just a few of my confront food faves)! The staff is always friendly and helpful. I love the fact I feel I've "grown up" with the restaurant and it still holds its hometown comforting feel when I'm back visiting my family. True southern hospitality and great food options - keep it up! read more

Outstanding service, tasty menu, and the car side service is superb. Recommend the delta chicken or shrimp n grits. Even though not a burger place, the burger is pretty stellar too. read more

I'm from Texas so I don't know about the local food scene here in Columbus but our dinner at Harvey's was fantastic! We had the fried cheese as the appetizer, it was soooooo good! They are homemade so it was gooey cheesey goodness with every bite! We also got the prime rib sandwich and lemon pepper chicken. Both super delicious!!! The chicken was moist and juicy ! The staff and manager were also so very friendly. read more

We were passing though Columbus, MS, today. If you live near Columbus, or are just traveling through, do Not miss this restaurant. On Sundays you can order from the brunch menu until 4:00pm, or from the regular menu. Chef Boyd did magnificent work ~ the food was plated beautifully, perfectly cooked, and was absolutely 5-star delicious! Our server, April, was also wonderful! Thank you, Harveys, for the grand surprise lunch on our trip! read more

If this is new Harvey, I will hold on to my memories of what used to be. We arrived an hour and a half before closing. I was told to check myself in even though 3 host were stationed at the hostess stand and waited 45 minutes. I do not mind the wait for a great experience. I am still waiting for that great experience. Our appetizer, pimento crawfish dip, was greasy, steak was over cooked only to be off set by the under cooked potato, shrimp and grits was lumpy and cold. Had to beg for drinks and even water took three times of asking to be refilled. Ordered dessert, main reason we came, but the waitress came back to the table to inform us it was to late even with them still setting people. Be assured the only thing they were prompt on was swiping my credit card, our waitress's reader would not work but she found one that would in no time flat but that will not be an issue again. The new Harvey's has so much to learn from the past. Love the new decor but the new customer service makes Hardee's look good. read more

Food is outdated and for the most part quite disgusting. Rice came out and it had clearly been in a microwave, so hot I'm surprised the fire alarms didn't go off. Great restaurant if you want to time warp to 1982. Don't go. Total waste of money. read more

I have eaten here since college and every time I'm in Columbus, i must have Broccoli Bites. I have never eaten anything on the menu that wasn't good and I've been eating here since 1990. I love it! read more

Awesome food and atmosphere! Nice place for a romantic dinner. Loved the stuffed crab patties. Is expensive but the food is well worth it! Great staff! The place was clean as well. read more

3 of us here for lunch today. Was very good. I had rueben sandwich, one had bbq shrimp and other, a club sandwich. Great service. Good guidance from the folks at flying service at local airport. Thanks folks. Well done. read more

Service was terrible. Hostess seated me and told me my server would be with me when they could because they had a party of 25 to take service. Hostess brought my drink. Sever came by and I gave her my order. Someone else brought order out and my drink was never refilled so I ate meal without a drink. Finally after finishing eating, the server came by and told me she was not neglecting me but she was having to take care of s party of 25. I told her I was neglected because I never saw her after she took my order. Manager came over and I told him what had happened. He acted concern but could tell he didn't mean it. No discount was given for the terrible service I received!! read more

Jeff, our server, was really good! Food was excellent, but sharing the time with family was priceless!!!! A must try in Columbus, MS.

Harveys' is one of the top restaurants in Columbus. They have a nice variety of options from the best fried cheese to a couple of my favorites the Asian Chicken Salad and a Great Filet and baked potato. You can't go wrong!! read more

Get the Chicken n Fixins & thank me later. Chicken Cordon Bleu with bbq sauce. Great staff & atmosphere.

I come to Harvey's every time I am in town. The food and service is always great! Love the broccoli bites, shrimp and grits, blackened catfish, crab cakes, and they have great beers on tap. I would highly recommend! read more

We are here on Saturday night, 9/24/2016. I had the gumbo, wife had some kind of spinach cheese dip, daughter had shrimp bisque, friend had tuna. The tuna and the spinach dip were good, but the shrimp bisque was so salty, my daughter was only able to eat a few bites. My gumbo was too salty as well. My wife's family is from Louisiana, so yeah, we know how it should be, but it shouldn't be that salty. Come on guys, lighten up on the salt, but you could had some more spice. read more

This place use to be my favorite spot to eat at in Columbus. The absolute best, with impeccable service. Last night, May 25th, was my first time going in several months and the service was abysmal. The waitress only tended to one table at a time. She'd take them things, find out what else they wanted, go get it, while completely ignoring us. I even flagged her down cause I needed a drink refresh after finishing mine a good 10 minutes earlier and she completely ignored me. And this was a Wednesday night, so the place was not busy in any way. It's called multitasking and I know what it's like to be a server. She needs serious training. I have never felt so ignored and disrespected at Harvey's back when I believe their names were AD, Jessica, and Crystal worked there. They were no where to be seen. The drinks were subpar and not mixed right and the waitress, who's name I can't remember but she had curly brown hair, didn't seem to care. It seemed to be new waiters, waitresses, and they were nothing compared to Harvey's of 6 months ago. And the manager Jody was rude. I've never had such a horrible experience at Harvey's in Columbus. I believe I will be taking my business to Huck's from now on. read more

Love everything about Harvey's! The food & staff are great! The only reason i have not given 5 stars is because I wish the menu items would change up bit every so often. Gets a little repetitive especially since there are only a handful of restaurants to choose from in Columbus. read more

Harvey's is a very good restaurant in Columbus, MS. A business partner and I ate there two nights in a row this week. First night, no wait, Tuesday night, Larry was our server and was excellent. I had Shrimp and Grits and my friend had the Cajun Pasta. S&G was good, shrimp plentiful and delicious. Cajun pasta was a bit mild but flavorful and we cleaned the plates. You can get a Iceberg Wedge salad (not on menu) which was excellent as well. We did have the Broccoli Bites as an appetizer, very good! Wednesday night we came back, busier night so we ate at the bar. Server was friendly but got my partner's order wrong, we ate anyway. He had Shrimp and Grits (ordered Shrimp Scampi) and I had the 10oz Prime Rib (medium). S&G wasn't as good tonight, Prime Rib was a bit overdone and not great. Wedge salads again, superb. The Four Cheese Mac & cheese was a bit dry, not as creamy as I hoped. Bread pudding was good, not exceptional. I will eat here again but a Four Star night followed by a Two Star night here on this trip. The Broccoli Bites are unique and very good. The server Wednesday recommended the Prime Rib as amazing and it was not at all. Larry was totally terrific as our server on our first night. Ask for the "off-the-menu" Iceberg Wedge with Blue Cheese, Blue Cheese crumbles and bacon. Magnificent! read more

The New York strip is awesome. I eat here often. It has a quieter atmosphere than any other steak house. Harveys is one of my favorites. I don't care much for the seasoned rib eye. read more

Love Harvey's. Never had a problem with anything on the menu and I have tried most of them. Service has always been superb and with the great food they have become one of my favorite places in town. read more

This is probably our favorite place to eat in columbus. We love that they have a wide range of prices so you don't have to spend a fortune if you're not in the mood. Their chicken noodle soup and corn chowder is the best I've ever had. They have a different quiche every day and serve it with awesome fruit and a soup or salad for $8, which is awesome for such a nice place. My husband usually orders a particular chicken dish with jalapeño grits or their marinated ribeye and is always pleased. The service here is always outstanding, I've yet to leave with anything less than a smile on my face. Oh and the xango dessert is outstanding! read more

While it is unfortunate I must leave tuscaloosa and either drive to Birmingham or now a new found place, Harvey's in Columbus Mississippi, well worth ride and a nice ride and change as opposed to driving to Birmingham. Had fried mushroom app, awesome. Prime rib rare 16oz perfect. You must get the crawfish sauce as an add on the side. Nice atmosphere, quick service, all severs were attentive to us not just our main server. Highly recommended. read more

Usually good bet sometimes they drop the ball as they did once on my anniversary. Had reservations they blew sat us at the bar.

Had an excellent lunch here today. Being from Houston, we are so spoiled by all the good restaurants. This place had a great menu and the dishes we ordered were excellent. The right temp, great taste, along with excellent service. We will certainly try to visit one more time before returning home. read more

The Tuscany Turkey quiche was terrific! Stopped in during a family visit and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Great service, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent food. read more

Stopped at Harvey's for lunch today after checking Yelp for recommendation. Once again we were not disappointed. We started with the crab cake appetizer (Amazing). I had the shrimp & grits and my husband had the ribs both entrees were superb. We don't live in Columbus however the next time we're in town a stop here will be a given. Service was also excellent with manager interaction. Thanks YELP! read more

We drive an hour several times a year to eat here. The food is delicious and service is top notch. My wife loves the marinated ribeye and I'm a fan of chicken and fixings. Everything else we have tried has been very good as well. One of our all time favorites. read more

Broccoli bites were a tasty start to our excellently prepared meal. The mesquite chicken tasted smokey and tender. Made a note to self..."do that again whenever in Columbus" read more

Me and my husband went for his birthday and had a great time. If you leave there hungry, that is your fault. Their food is amazing. I don't know how they make their cheese sticks but no one else in town makes them like that. I love them. You have to try their chocolate martini. AMAZING!! read more

Unfortunately Harvey's missed the mark for me on service. I came in with a large party, 10 people, on a Wednesday evening. We had a reservation, so we were seated quickly in a quiet area. Drink orders were quickly taken, but that was the only quick thing. When we arrived, the restaurant was pretty empty with only 3 other tables being occupied. As the night carried on, many tables came and went before we even received our entrees. Many of my tables salads were "given away" to another table, chicken tortilla soup was delivered without the tortillas and drink refills were never offered. It seems that our server was stretched too thin and opted to be more attentive to his smaller tables leaving us to flag him down when we needed something. The service was unfortunate because the ribeye I ordered was delicious, though slightly over cooked. The macaroni and cheese was also very good. I would recommend the broccoli bites, crawfish pimento dip and spinach artichoke dip as well, but the fried mushrooms lack any significant flavor. I would visit Harvey's again...but I would stress the temp I wanted my steak and NEVER with a large group. read more

Easily one of the lunch time gems in this area!! Service was fantastic but was no comparison to the extreme awesomeness of the food!

Had prime rib previously at Harvey's, excellent, tonight's prime rib was the worst I have ever been served. Taste was fair, but wore out my hacksaw. Never again. I can do better than that read more

I've been to Harvey's many times at their multiple locations, including Columbus, and have been satisfied. Although, its food quality and quantity has been waning here recently. I ordered the New York strip cooked medium rare ($24) with a baked potato. It first came out charred and medium well. It looked to have either been frozen and cooked or finished cooking in the microwave from my judgment. I informed the waiter and he was gracious about it and sent it back for another. I received another steak but with no baked potato. The waiter asked for me to cut into the steak to confirm the doneness. Although I don't like cutting directly into the middle of a (supposedly) hot steak, I obliged only to find a very rare steak that was still cold in the middle. The waiter saw it and agreed with my assessment, but I told him not to send it back that I'll just box it up and finish cooking it at home. I'm not much to complain about my food quality or service (first Yelp review), but I was quite disappointed with my recent experience. Now I have a rare $24 New York strip sitting in my fridge that may or may not get eaten. My advice is if you go, stick with the chicken strips. read more
