I should probably state, right up front, that I really like Harvey's milkshakes. The chocolate shakes are brown, rather than beige, and they actually taste like chocolate. (I know, it's a radical idea, but once you get over the shock, it's quite nice.) I'm giving them a full point on the shakes alone.
Which is not to say that the rest of the menu is bad: I've had the veggie burger, the turkey burger (which was under testing at the time -- I don't know if it's going to be added to the menu permanently), and the chicken wrap, and they were all very tasty.
Harvey's schtick is that they assemble to burger in front of you, and put in the toppings you want. It's sort of like a burger equivalent of Subway, only with not quite so many choices (lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, bell peppers, sweet green relish, ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, mayonnaise, and mesquite sauce). Personally, I suspect that it's the flame broiling, or perhaps the combination of flame broiling and the toppings of your choice, that make the burgers so good, but after trying Harvey's about half a dozen times now (including three visits to this location), I'm considering moving Harvey's to the top of the list of my favourite fast food burger joints. read more
