The food was actually pretty good, but unfortunately the staff completely ruined the experience…read more The employees came across as unhappy, unwelcoming, and honestly seemed like they didn't want to be there or deal with customers. Good service makes a huge difference, and sadly this place has none. Between the attitude and lack of professionalism, it made the whole visit uncomfortable. I wouldn't go back even if the food were free. Hopefully management takes a serious look at how their customers are being treated

We've been wanting to give this place a try and Hubs was craving for some fried chicken…read more We got the following to share: 4 piece bucket of chicken- this was ok. It was crispy but a bit bland and could use some herbs or salt. Codfish sandwich- I was disappointed with this sandwich. I was expecting a codfish filet sandwich and instead I got 2 codfish sticks in a bun. Macaroni salad- Hubs liked it a lot and it made him want to find a recipe on how to make it. Caesar salad - it was fine and clean. This was ok. Service was friendly and quick. Will return when in the area to try other items on the menu.

Excellent, quick "fun food" 'fast food' BBQ with well-prepared meats and sauces created by an…read moreexpert in Tennessee. The pulled pork slider had a pleasant amount of smokey pork, and the brisket slider transported me to another dimension with how tender and flavorful the brisket was. Both were generously-packed with a dark house BBQ sauce that was different than I've experienced before. I could speculate that there's some sort of soda or molasses rounding out the flavor profile. The only way I could see this elevated would be with some sort of light slaw to add a little texture and vegetables. An included side of chips was equally excellent. House-made from actual potato's, the chips had a pleasant crisp with a hint of what I could perceive as being a malt vinegar. $10 for this entire platter is a sound deal. Then, as I sometimes do, I turned a late lunch into my lunch/dinner for the day and took advantage of their $1 wings deal on Monday's. The minimum order is 12 wings, which ended up being the ideal amount since these were phenomenal. Smokey Sliders' wings are baked with ample seasoning and an impressively crispy, evenly-cooked exterior. The chicken inside was cooked absolutely perfectly, still smoking as I bit into them. I used each of their spicy sauces to cool the wings down: Maple Bourbon BBQ, Mango Habanero, and Pineapple Sriracha. My mouth is watering recollecting the flavors of these sauces: they were all top-tier sauces that are several notches above the standard BBQ sauce at a chain or even a hot sauce purveyor. The flavor notes were all prevalent, with plenty of maple syrup, mango, and pineapple notes respectively balanced well into a slightly-thickened sauce. These wings are top-tier, and some of the best I've ever had. The wings, paired with the sublime sauces, may even be better than the well-crafted sliders. It's served in a clean space with some seating for groups by a friendly owner. I was glad I used Yelp to lead me here instead of grabbing pizza, as I would otherwise have no idea, as the entirety of the meal was excellent. The quality, speed, and innovativeness of the sauces may make this an underdog in the BBQ scene within a few more seasons.

The food is very tasty. The St. Louis Ribs look like and are about the same size as the baby back,…read moremeaning they seem small. The meat is fall off the bone. Are they good, yes. Do the St. Louis seem small, yes, that is why I dinged them. The baked beans are good. The coleslaw is good. Maybe it is not a 5, because they are slathered in sauce and I would have preferred the sauce on the side. They don't seem especially smoked and for my tastes are a little too over cooked. I don't know if I will return. I wonder if they are really smoked on premises. Seems like they were reheated some how. Will I return ? I don't know. They are not as good IMHO as good Chinese ribs, say from Sichuan Cottage in Marlboro or Mee Mah in Edison. Having said that these ribs much better than the ones on the UMI lunchtime buffet in Freehold.

Drinks consisted of Red Sangria, Drop Top IPA, Canyon Road Merlot, J Lohr Cab and Kane Port Omna. They have a good beer selection and wines are okay. Their Special menu for St Patrick's Day is quite nice. My wife went for Fish and Chips, and we also ordered two Corned Beef Reubens and a 14oz Ribeye. All were really good along with some hot, crispy fries. We chose to share a dessert (because we could) and the Grannies Hot Apple Cobbler was perfect. Our server, Jason, couldn't have been nicer.

I can't believe I waited so long to come back to Harvest. What was I thinking ?…read more We went out for lunch to celebrate my friend's birthday and Harvest turned out to be a great choice! The location is a little further than we would normally travel, but it was worth it. I loved all the farm to table foods they have. They even nicely promote all the partners they use right on the wall of the restaurant, so you know where all your food comes from. Everyone loved their meals! I had the Thai chicken sandwich and it was so flavorful and delicious. It came with a side and I picked baked sweet potato wedges that were really good and so memorable that a week later I am still thinking about them. Other dishes ordered were the chicken salad and strawberry salad which my friends both enjoyed. Our server was very good and didn't rush us as we were just chatting up a storm. The restaurant suggests reservations which are a good idea, especially for dinner. I will definitely be back and can't wait to put Harvest on my restaurant rotation. Sorry no photos this time... the food was just so good and we were hungry!

Tucked away in a small town, you will find a cozy nook to discover American cuisine…read more Brand: 5/5 Harvest is a small restaurant in Farmingdale specializing in New American cuisine. The entrance stands out in this borough, despite its small size. I do think that sign with the wooden background reflected the cozy interior quite well with a homey style. The country décor on the walls also enhances the aesthetics. Website: 5/5 It wastes no time, for it immediately opens you to the menu where most of the items have their own images. I appreciated the minimalistic design where the understandable font provides you with the information. The basic description of the establishment does say that they rely on locally sourced ingredients. Ambiance: 5/5 Normally, dark interiors would not necessarily work for eateries unless they achieve a cozy vibe; which is what Harvest did perfectly. The wooden walls provide a sense of comfort underneath lights dim enough to not offend the eyes but bright enough to see. Despite the cramped space, I did think that the interior fitted the ambiance, along with the smooth country music playing over the radio. Service: 5/5 The staff was quite jovial and patiently explained a part of the menu. We had no issues with our orders. Wait Time: 5/5 I did wait awhile for the meals, though we managed to get our orders without any interruptions. Food: 4/5 I ordered the Grilled Chicken Thai Sandwich with no additional sides, with a free, complementary glass of water. It has ciabatta beard containing grilled chicken, spinach, cucumbers, and Thai sauce. I do not know if the signature sauce is authentically Thai, but I will say that I could barely tolerate the pungent taste and smell. I cannot say whether it is the feature. Every other part, such as the spinach and the cucumbers, definitely complemented the grilled chicken with a juicy taste. The ciabatta bread buns managed to hold their form, even as the contents started to fall off. Worth The Money?: 2/5 I will say that Harvest brand has as much of a highfalutin status as its prices. While the restaurant reflects the New American cuisine, it does not come off as condescending. Nevertheless, I still thought that the limited menu items just do not help with the prices. For the website, I would suggest a list of all the farms and independent distributors that Harvest relies on for ingredients, and to include a backstory about how Harvest began and where the name came from. I find local-sourcing incredibly important and commend Harvest for incorporating this into their business model. Concerning the food, I will say that the Grilled Chicken Thai sandwich did have suffice within the ambiance. The wait time it took to make the meal was appropriate enough. I will say that the wait time did feel long within the establishment, especially when no one else was around. Nevertheless, the service did make the food worth the wait and the ambiance worth immersing in. With all of this being said, would I say that the overall price would bring me back? Not really. Even the complementary water could not win me over when compared to the prices. Prestigious New American eateries tend to have a focus on specific consumer bases, and I am just not one of them. I do not score low on this part out of spite, rather based on my current station and many other people. I did tip the staff and I did have enough satisfaction with the meal. Rating: 4/5 Stars I do not know how Harvest would carry itself into the future, though I can see how it would suffice as a New American restaurant. Recommend To... Anyone with enough disposable income looking for a quiet restaurant.

My husband and I decided to give this place another shot hoping the revamped menu addressed some of the suggestions in the reviews. We also invited some friends to join. Due to having a large group we were able to try a lot on the menu. We had the seared scallops, bad hat bang bang, cold sesame noodles, koji fried chicken wings, sticky pork ribs, shishito peppers, and coconut curry mussels. As for dumplings we tried the shitakiyaki, shrimp and bamboo, stuffed pepper, and braised lamb. Let me start with the good items. The seared scallops had the perfect sear on them, they were big and juicy, but sadly you only get 2. The wings were sweet/savory, fried perfectly, and still juicy. Plus the wings were a good size as well. The sticky pork ribs were super tender and fall right off the bone. The coconut curry mussels, you get sooo many! Plus its basically 2 appetizers since after you finish the mussels you can mix the curry with the bowl of rice. The shrimp and bamboo dumplings were tasty and paired perfectly with the yuzu sauce. Now for the bad. The cold sesame noodles had absolutely no flavor, we had to ask our waitress for soy sauce to put on them. The stuffed pepper dumplings literally tasted like a frozen pizza with too much tomato sauce, we had to send it back. The braised lamb bao's had no flavor and we had to drown it in the sauce provided. My rating stays the same because the name of the restaurant is Bad Hat Dumpling and I'm sorry but the dumplings are just mediocre. All of the bao's that look similar to soup dumplings, the skin is just too thick and dry. They need to change something with that recipe. I will wait again until there is another menu change and then give this place a shot.
