Fantastic.
My sister in law had her wedding rehearsal dinner here and the food was excellent and flawlessly executed. I can't even remember everything we had but it was all very fresh, tasty and properly cooked.
The bartender was fast & courteous.
The people bringing out food were really nice to us even though there were about 75 people in one big room and they needed to maneuver through us all.
The only that sucks is that there is no changing table in the ladies room for babies. I had to change my daughter on the floor (gross). For a place that's in the middle of family ville, you would think they could install a changing table for us young moms out there.
At the risk of being unpopular, I'm going to say that our experience with Harvey's left me with an average experience. On first glance the place seemed pretty cool, but as the time wore on I became less impressed with the place. Mind you, I'm approaching this review from a "diner" perspective where I'm focusing a lot on the food.
It's location is pretty weird as it's in the midst of a community of homes. Upon walking in the door it's also a bit confusing as there are two floors, and we didn't know which one to head to. Since there was absolutely no one on the ground floor restaurant area we headed upstairs to the bar area which was a bit more lively. The bar is big and open with plenty of space. There were a decent number of tables and high tops, and the bar itself was spacious. I was surprised to see parents sitting around with their little kids. We kinda stood at the entrance for a couple of seconds taking it all in and deciding if we seat ourselves or not, until a server saw our confused stares and invited us to pick a seat.
We sat down at one of the high tops and one server came over promptly. He suggested the draft deal of the night ($3 Red Oak) Â which my wife took, but I wanted to see which beers were on tap. I was about to take a look at the menu posted on a chalkboard but he knew his beer enough that he was able to suggest a beer based on the kind of style I was looking for. He suggested a stout ($5 BB Aces & Ates) that I ended up enjoying, and was pleased that he was able to do that.
The menu was a bit lacking but is to be expected from a bar menu. There were the usual apps like wings and mozzarella sticks, as well as salads, sandwiches, burgers and pizzas. The miss' and I decided to split an order of the mozz sticks ($5.75) since it had been ages since we had them. They were served hot and fresh, and the marinara sauce had a very slight spice to it.
For dinner I ordered the half rack of ribs ($9.99) which were decent but not much more. The ribs were tender and came off the bone in one big meaty strip which I would then dunk in the extra little cup of sauce. I wasn't too keen on the sauce, which was really think and spicy. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against a thick sauce, but it was more like a processed sauce. It also came with a choice of side and I went with the white cheddar mashed potatoes. They were pretty good with the red skins still intact and the cheese flavor was mild and not overpowering.
The miss' got the vegetable pizza ($9.50) and was not impressed. The pizza is huge, and probably bigger than the individual pizzas you would get at Brixx. However the quality of the pizza was extremely lacking. Just looking at it you could tell it was a mediocre pie. The sauce was extremely bland and the pizza wasn't really cheesy. The dough itself was mushy, and for the kind of pizza it was I would have liked to have seen a bit more of a crunch to it.
Harvey's is probably a good place to head out for a beer and bar apps, but not the kind of place I would return to for a dinner. The menu is not only limited but the execution is lacking. If I wanted a beer and a pizza I would much rather go to Brixx, where the beer menu is more extensive, cheaper and the pizza is a much higher quality product.
This review is for the Cornelius location for Harvey's B&G.  Hubby and I went there for the 1st time last evening.  We liked the food choices and having read a glowing review of the Fish Tacos, decided to try them along with the Southern Roast Beef Dip sandwich.  The side salad as a choice of side was simple and plentiful.  The actual entrees, while fresh and tasty, are more lunch than dinner size in our opinion.  We  would have appreciated a slightly larger size.
Unlike other sports bars and grills that tend to be so noisy you can barely hold a conversation, we liked that while monitors were going with several channels to choose from, it was not noisy. Â We noted the audio dampening panels overheard.
If portion sizes are to remain the same, then I would recommend this place for lunch vs. dinner. Â You don't want your patrons to leave hungry, after all. ;)
Read all the reviews and stopped in on Friday evening to check it out. Â The word that comes to mind is average. No complaints at all mind you. But nothing exceptional about Harvey's at all. Average wings, average beer list, average atmosphere. I'll take that back. The neighborhood is unusual for a bar. Â I'll be back if I'm in the area but there are other average spots closer to home.
Review Source:We went to this great little place on a spur of the moment decision to grab a beer and a bite after work on Friday. I never would have known about it/found it without the help of someone who has been there before. It is tucked inside a neighborhood, surrounded by townhouses. You go upstairs to find the bar, dining area and outdoor seating on the porch. The first thing I liked: very friendly staff! Next I noticed how casual and comfortable the surrounds were (do not come here if you are seeking a fancy/quiet environment). And the best thing I noticed is that they had a nice selection of craft beers! I had never enjoyed a Palm Belgium Amber (the beer Fat Tire was brewed to be like). Yum!!! It paired well with the bar/pub food menu. We had the chicken nachos and they were delish. This was just what I needed after a tough work week - we will definitely be back!
Review Source:We ended up here after finding a cheap gift certificate on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a>. The way the GPS took us was weird (right through a neighborhood), and then you have to go upstairs after you enter through the front, so we were a little wary at first, but ended up really liking this place!
We've been about 4 times now (even though it isn't exactly around the corner from us) but the service is always on point, everyone is friendly, and it's a nice laid back casual atmosphere. It's also pretty cheap, and the food is pretty good. We usually start with their wings and order burgers or pizza for dinner.
I think what I like best about this place and what keeps us coming back is the atmosphere - it IS a neighborhood bar, and that's exactly what it feels like! Pair that with the friendly staff and the prices and it's a winner.
We've since found a more direct route, but don't be fooled, it is really right in the heart of a bunch of townhouses. I'm kind of glad I don't live there, if I did I'd probably be there every night.
Every place I have called home, I have always had one bar, one bar that I could meet my husband at after work to unwind, one bar that I could go watch 'the game', one bar that just feels like home. Â I have been searching far and wide for this kind of bar in the Huntersville area and don't worry everyone.... I HAVE FOUND IT!!
Just like Toby Keith's song "I love this bar.... it's my kind of place..." Â I do love this bar and it is just my kind of place. Â They people working there are great, the beer is good and I haven't had any food yet but I am sure that will be good too. Â Can't wait to become a regular. :-)
Harvey's usually posts their weekly events on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FLKNFUN.com&s=5ba67092a6dfc0a34b053790cf46a4268dc3a5b72d8106afba38ffd8a1947f3d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://LKNFUN.com</a>. I saw on Mondays they have an open mic night, which got my wheels turning regarding a location to host a special event for my school.
This semester I taught a songwriting class and the students wanted to have a "gig" out in the community. After emailing a man named "Charlie" who I'm assuming is one of the managers or owners, he quickly responded with a big YES to hosting my event. He was very professional and easy to work with. That evening
they blocked off the entire bottom room for our event at no cost. When I arrived early to set up my sound system the room was already set with menu's and silverware and the servers even offered to help me bring things in from my car.
The families who attended the event had a great evening, with delicious food. Whenever I eat at Harvey's the bar area and tables are always clean, and they always have great drink specials.
Harvey's is the perfect place for a worry free special events location!
Harvey's is very unique in that a local neighborhood literally has their own bar and grill. We tried this place out the first time because of a <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> coupon, and we were surprised to be turning into a community on our way to get there. Before we knew it the street opens up and there is Harvey's right on the corner of one of the town home units.
The place is two floors, the first one looks to be restaurant tables only, so we walked to the top floor to enjoy the bar area. They have a nice large open area upstairs with a large bar that has plenty of seats and several tables. They also have a wrap around outside patio seating area that is a favorite among most patrons there on a nice day.
They have a good selection on tap and we had to spend a lot on food to use our coupon so we sampled it all, appetizers, entrees, and dessert and everything was great.
Atmosphere of this place is very nice and even if you don't live in the neighborhood everyone is very welcoming. They have pool tables, a dart board, jukebox, and free live music on certain nights.
We have been several more times, and this is a nice chill spot to take out of town guests, if you want to hang out in a bar with friends, but still be able to carry a conversation with each other.
Appalachian State University headquarters too for you Boone grads looking for your local team fans in Huntersville.
One knock, this neighborhood is a black hole for AT&T signals. Don't expect to get many calls or check in at this place with ease. Good news is they have free wifi, and the key is usually the 7 digit bus. phone number.
great place, nice and quiet. great food. amazing pizza's. not usually too busy, and pretty fast service. wish they had more specials ($1 beers, 25cent wings, Â ect ect ect) i think it would bring in alot more people. i will caution... some times they have live music... but the place is too loud when they have that. i enjoy background music, not music so loud i cant even talk or think. but that is just how i feel. some may enjoy that. its hard to find, its back in a neighborhood. but its worth your time, give it a try! great patio!
Review Source:What a great pub/sports bar. Â Very nice atmosphere, food was solid...lots of drink and dinner specials...waitstaff (Amy) was on point. Â No complaints at all. Â On top of that, the prices are right...I WILL BE BACK!!! Â Would love to visit my friends sometime when you are having a crawfish boil or what have you!
Review Source:Upon getting out of the car in the Vermillion neighborhood and walking to the front door of the newly-reopened Tin Pan Alley (the bar formerly known as Harvey's), my roommate's girlfriend spied a street sign that read: Tin Pan Alley.
"Oh," she said. "That's where it gets its name!"
With that mystery solved, we opened the front door and climbed the staircase to the upstairs bar and...virtually everything was the same as Harvey's. Same hardwood floors, rectangular bar, same sports posters, banners and memorabilia peppered on the walls (that I could tell...there might have been a few different pieces).
The lone pool table was in the same location, the hand-powered shuffleboard table (so much fun!) still against the back wall.
The place is not big, but it does have a number of TVs and enough drink specials and events such as trivia night and live music to keep people returning.
My favorite on this particular Trivia Night was the $1 PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon) cans. I remember PBR mostly for being the beer upperclassmen would force pledges to drink in college. On this night, with little money in my wallet, it was the nectar of the gods.
This was also the first time I had eaten here, or even looked at the menu, so I can't say how much or even if the selection had changed. The menu was full of sandwiches, pizzas, calzones and appetizers. I had a calzone which was excellent,and grabbed a stray chicken finger off someone's plate, which was also tasty.
In the end, I was out the door with a total tab under $20, so I was very pleased.
So what have we learned?
For someone looking for a low-key scene with lots of sports bar atmosphere and good beer specials, it is a good choice.
We also learned that PBR is made in Milwaukee. Says so on the can. Who knew?
