I freaking love Harvey's, and am really sad that we don't have it in the U.S. Every time I visit Toronto, I make it a point to stop here on my way home. While Harvey's has all the makings of every other fast food burger joint, there's just something about it that ranks it way higher as compared to most (in my book at least).
They just redid this one in the past 8 months or so, and it looks great. They keep it really clean, and I've never walked in and had one of those "ew" moments due to trash being everywhere or whatnot. There's also a Swiss Chalet that's connected in the same building, which could be convenient if you come with someone that's trying to eat a healthier.
Food is pretty good as well. I usually stick with the kids cheeseburger meal, as it's plenty of food for someone that prefers their portions a little smaller. If you get one of the "adult" meals, hope you're hungry because some of them are pretty big. They even have "acceptable" veggie burgers here. Not quite my thing, but I usually travel with a vegetarian who's pretty picky about her veggie burgers and she loves them.
It's a little higher priced than most fast food places I've frequented, but this also be only because I'm used to seeing U.S prices..
The addition of deep fried pickles to the menu is awesome. Even if you don't want 4 to yourself, they're big enough to get an order to split as a mini appetizer.
Only reason I gave this 4 stars is because the past couple of times I've come, my fries were on the cold & soggy side. read more
