Harvey’s

Came here yesterday for lunch. This place is just A-​OK. To start, I’m not a fan at all of harveys beef burgers so I decided to get the grilled chicken sandwich combo instead — my total ended up being $ 9.89. I am a picky eater so having to tell people I only want lettuce and tomato on my sandwich seems to be very strange for them and I always feel judged! Ugh
Anyways.the gentleman who took my order was very friendly and quick. I can see why they would keep him at cash during the lunch rush. Once my order was passed on I watched the girl in front of me get her toppings on her burger. Half way through she asked her friend if they were staying to eat or getting take out and they decided to stay in so she politely asked the lady helping her if she could get her order for take out instead. The lady had no expression and asked the gentleman taking the orders for a tray instead. he smiled and said to the lady «i asked her if she wanted take out or not» to which the lady responded back to him something that made him laugh. I found that very very rude in front of customers and I could tell the girl in front of me felt she was being of inconvenience to them — NO CUSTOMER SHOULD FEEL THIS WAY.
Moving on. I got my order taken at 11:44 and waited until 11:54 to get my grilled chicken sandwich and fries. I don’t think I should have to wait 10 whole minutes during lunch to get my burger. I do understand that these are «freshly» made but harveys needs to find a way to pre-​cook halfway their chicken and then finish it off in the girl so that everyone can get there orders done in a timely manner.
This place would have gotten higher stars if their customer service was better and if I had gotten my order in a timely fashion and not have to had watch 8 other customers get their orders before me.

Burgers here are typical of every Harvey’s — better than McDonalds but shy of gourmet. I do very much enjoy that I can get large slices of pickles though and they offer a variety of condiments like Chipotle, BBQ, and Garlic mayo. I wouldn’t come here for regular prices but they currently have a promo that’s $ 6 for 2 original burgers so I would say it’s worth considering if you’re hungry and nearby.
However, please refer to my previous review for why you SHOULD NOT ORDER THE MILKSHAKES.

Let me say I love Harveys their chains in Toronto seems to be all closing up theres only 3 locations in downtown core left. This location left me with a bad taste. The oil was bad awful so anything fried like fries, onion rings, apple pie tasted not so good. The food here was not up to par from what I used to have. The customer service here is excellent to change ur oil often is good to keep customers coming back.

I had never been to a Harvey’s before, so my boyfriend and I decided to check it out this afternoon upon discovering that I had a coupon (9.99 for two burgers, fries and drinks) which expired today! Good timing!
I was beyond impressed with my food and experience; this is definitely up there with the best fast food I have ever had. I really loved how the burgers were prepared. The patties themselves were cooked in the kitchen in lightning quick time, and then handed over to the server, who dressed the burger with salads and sauces according to my personal preferences. Really loved the combination of the preparation time of a traditional fast food restaurant, with the emphasis on personal customer preference that is usually reserved for somewhere more upmarket.
Any fears that the food would be compromised as a result of the speedy service disappeared as soon as I took a bite into my burger. Piping hot, and just delicious — all my toppings stood out, and everything just tasted RIGHT. (Anyone who’s familiar with fast food burgers will be familiar with that sinking feeling you get when you bite into a burger and realise something you can’t quite put your finger on is just… wrong!)
Loved the fries too — thicker than the skinny McDs ones, but skinnier and less poofy than those gross overly-​potatoey ones you get at Hero’s. Washed down with some Pepsi, the whole meal was just yummy.
I couldn’t believe we got two burgers, two sides and two 20oz drinks for 10 dollars +HST. You’d easily pay twice the price for FAR inferior burgers at a ‘proper’ restaurant chain or pub.
I will definitely be back, even without the money-​saving coupon, this is worth a return visit. I just wish they had more locations!!!

Finally found a convenient-​to-​transit Harvey’s. I ordered lunch and it took like one minute to get the burger. I thought «oh great, it’s been sitting around waiting for me» but it was actually fresh. Good timing I guess. Quite a bit of seating in the food court. Added to the lunch rotation.

Harvey’s is a decent place to get something to eat. I went here for dinner on my first night in Toronto. I was looking for something quick. I got a chicken sandwhich with fries and it hit the spot. It is like your typical fast food joint.
Service is friendly and helpful. I had gotten a nice warning that my food might be really hot so to give it a minute before eating.

Harvey’s is Harvey’s. A good burger, loaded up the way you want it, and decent enough fries. Efficiently run. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced any retard moments here. And since it’s part of the Dundas/​Yonge food court, huge variety in seating. Nice to grab a window seat and check out the Yonge street activity. And the food court has free wireless.

How has nobody written about this Harvey’s.
As a former Ry-​high student, this place was (and still is) my go– to at lunch time. The lines are never too long (even at the 12 – 1 rush) and the veggie burgers are DELICIOUS.
Even my carnivore friends agree, Harvey’s veggie burgers are the shit! IF you are feeling naughty, upgrade your side for 2 bucks and get a poutine. Veggie burger and poutine, sounds so wrong but feels so right.
So if you work/​go to school/​shop in the Yonge/​Dundas area, don’t forget about dear old Harveys in the AMC building foodcourt. For under 10 bucks, you will be stuffed full of delicious, customizable fast food. YUM!
