I don't normally review or check into fast food chains and franchises because everything is…read morecontrolled and consistent, and... it's fast food, what is there to talk about? So unless there is something unique about the location, I'm usually mums on these reviews (I have written some with Starbucks and McD's, but again, the focus was primarily on something other than the food). So what's up with Harvey's? Well I think Harvey's has a story worth mentioning. A true Canadian fast food chain, Harvey's has been around since 1959 and still only has locations in Canada. Harvey's was the pioneer of three concepts that is still visible in franchise chains even today. The fist was the control of cash, the concept of paying up front, then following your receipt along the top of the toppings counter and then getting your food. The second was the toppings counter, allowing you to customize your burger with fresh ingredients. The third was the concept of skin-on fresh cut fries; imported from PEI, then washed and cut in house with the skins left on. On a more personal note, Harvey's was the first to introduce me to Poutine and to fast food franchises, a dish that has expanded to Canadian competitors like McD's, Burger King, Wendy's, A&W, and New York Fries. For many of these, the Poutine did not survive and were eventually removed from the menu. Poutine is fries, cheese curds, and brown sauce. I say brown sauce and not gravy, as gravy is a sauce made from the juices of meat; and, well let's face it, there's no meat juices of any kind in this sauce... in fact, Harvey's "gravy" is vegan! (verified by the company via email) along with the veggie burger, the multigrain bun, the fries, and the onion rings. The hot brown sauce is enough to melt the cheese curds and provide that ooey gooey goodness in every bite. The sauce is salty by design as the cheese curds carry no flavour, and I often add some ground pepper to curb it further. The fries and fried to a crisp golden brown on the outside and the potato is still soft and tender inside. As good as it gets for non-gourmet poutine. 5 stars. Onion Rings. A simple, seasoned batter, they're cooked to a crispy outside without overcooking the onion inside. 4 stars. Tip: You can order Frings (1/2 fries, 1/2 onion rings) as a side to your combo or on their own and try them both! "Gravy" can also be ordered as a side. Chocolate Milkshake. Another surprise, it's sweet, it's thick, it's cacao-ey, and really tasty. 4 stars. Apple Pie. Once upon a time, everyone deep fried their apple pies in Canada. With brand imaging with the last couple of decades, healthier consciences steered most to baking them. Harvey's remained on the path that quickly changed to the one less traveled by, and I love them for it! My philosophy is enjoy everything in moderation. The crust of the apple pie is thin and crispy. It's a little greasy, which you have to expect for something deep fried, but the ratio of filling to pastry counters any grease effectively (all the more reason for moderation!). 5 stars. I also want to note that Harvey's is on the pricier side for fast food, but they also keep things simple from a price standpoint. For example, you can pick any side you want with your combo, and the price doesn't change. You can also upgrade items, paying only the difference. E.g. upgrade the fries with your combo to a poutine for $2. Or from a drink to a shake for $1. Or fries to frings for $1. Want cheese or bacon? Add a $0.89. Cheeseburger. Sporting a 5.1oz (145g) patty, all their burgers are cooked to order over 600°F (316°C) open flames, then topped the way you like it right in front of your eyes with fresh ingredients. The burger is made with 100% beef that is now purely sourced in Canada. It's not a 100% pure ground beef (it's processed so it may have some beef fillers, but it's 100% beef none the less, and it's not discernible to my taste buds), so it does not have the same texture as Wendy's, McD's or BK, but it's much thicker and juicier than it's competitors. The cheese is processed like all other fast food places. (3,5 stars). Harvey's is probably my favourite FAST FOOD place for Burgers, Poutine, Onion Rings, and Apple Pie. I'm definitely a fan. 4 stars overall. If you're in Canada, Harvey's is something you need to experience for yourself.

Their hard to find in restaurants! I had the chili cheese dog, it was very good but most of all it stayed together! A lot of the times the guns fall apart, but I ate the whole thing without a mess! It wasn't too salty, the chili was meaty and the cheese was old and sharp! I also got the mac and cheese .. a side dish okay?!?! The noodles weren't mushy and the cheese sauce was flavorful, definitely some of the better mac and cheese I've had. My hubby had a hotdog too, the Chicago, lots of veggies, he liked it... I rather my chili cheese haha. The fries were super crispy, if recommend if you're looking just for a plate of fries I forgot to take a pic until I was almost done ooooops!
