Harvey’s Grill and Bar

We had dinner last night. Jess, the waitress seemed preoccupied while waiting on us. My order was put in wrong. I ended up getting something I didn’t like but ate it anyway. I had a hard time getting her attention to explain that I received the wrong entrée. I believe this was due to her lack of attention. I have eaten here many times before and have always received great service and food. I was very disappointed this time.

We came here to celebrate Father’s Day and we waited over two hours for our food. No one came and told us anything. Waitresses and managers stayed hidden. No one would tell us anything. Very unprofessional!

This is a great restaurant to go to for a quick meal or a night out. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is good and it is also well priced.

Really great food as always! Very poor service!!!
Hostess not great! We felt that we were pushed out by the server! No refills on beverages. It was not busy the staff seemed like zombies!

I come here once in a great while. When they first opened it was really good. Now it’s just your run of the mill place. I think they need to update their menu a bit, and the interior. Their drinks are gold, but pricy. I always usually get what was formally called «Brent’s Blue Lagoon», and that’s pretty tasty for a martini. Our seat tonight was either super cold or super hot by the fireplace. There was no in between. Hope this place goes for something different to make it in this town.

Table for 3. Luke warm food. Pretty sure our waitress left it up at prep table and forgot about it. Table next to us seated 10 min later and had their food before us.

I had no expectations walking into this place since I’m not from the area. A few people recommend it and I’m glad they did. I ordered the chicken sandwich, which sounds boring, but it was really good. The chipotle mayo is what made it great, in my opinion. The service was great even though I went during the lunch rush. I’ll definitely swing by again to try some of their other dishes, and the chicken sandwich again because I love the chipotle mayo so much.

I come here when there are no other options or because someone else chose the location. The martinis are syrupy sweet, or very decadent and dessert-​y. The menu has improved since when it first opened. There are a couple vegetarian-​friendly options, but not a ton. Most items I’ve eaten are decent, and the service usually follows as such. The layout is very crammed and unappealing, and so is trying to find a parking spot. The building could use a contemporary update. Tip: don’t bother with their attempt at street tacos; they are mediocre at best.

Have been here before, food is great as usual. Only issue was our meal took awhile to cook and our server missed little details like bringing place settings for our table. We have had great service here before and the food is wonderful so will return but want another server

The food is fairly priced and primarily very well prepared. A good amount of vegetarian options are available, my favourite is the spinach artichoke dip. However, every steak my mother has ordered from there comes out underdone or overdone.

I’ve been here once and didn’t have a great experience. Food was just Okay. My boyfriend ordered steak and lobster. The steak wasn’t cooked to correct doneness and his lobster came out mushy.
The bar is nice but overall, the restaurant is too crowded for the amount of people they had in there.

Cheap martinis! Kinda sweet.
Had the cider mill sandwich. Was good. Said I didn’t want cheese. Was on it anyway! Tried the coconut shrimp app. Very flavorful!
Would come back again!

Service is great, food is okay. Portions are on the smaller side. Price is moderate to high.

One of the few times Unilocal has steered me wrong. Went here on a short road trip, and a little out of the way to hit a place Unilocal said would be good. Unfortunately it is nothing to write home about. It seemed like an applebees imitation… and poorly done. Which says a lot considering Applebees is horrible.

My wife and I frequent Harvey’s, and there are many positives, which I’ll list first in no particular order:
— The staff is solid… knowledgable, courteous and visible.
— The bar/​drinks are very good. I recommend the Harvey’s Ale, and they have other good drink specials available.
— Happy hour appetizers! My favorites are the boneless wings and the spinach and artichoke dip. We often just get a couple of apps and drinks and leave satisfied!
— Solid variety of entrees… my 2 favorites are the Thai-​glazed salmon or the Philly cheese steak (tip: ask for the grilled wrap version).
The negatives are not show-​stoppers, but I always try to balance my reviews with pros and cons:
— Parking is sad… the lot is too small and so is the restaurant… don’t sit in the bar area if you’re claustrophobic.
— I try to get here by 5 o’clock because I don’t like standing around and waiting (that’s just me).
Overall, Harvey’s is a GREAT choice in Bay City… make sure you join the Harvey’s Rewards club… unless, that is, you don’t like free desserts on your birthday or anniversary!

This Harvey’s is old and needs to be redone… The carpet is old and gross… It smells when you walk thru the door like old rotten food… Hard to enjoy the food when it smells and the tables are sticky… Our service was good but unless they remodel I will not be back.

Great service and food! Courtney was my server at the bar and was very helpful in choosing a sandwich and beer for lunch. She was knowledgable of the beers on tap and the menu. Harvey’s has a great selection of beers on tap. I ordered the philly steak and cheese. It was very good. Onions were a bit overdone, but was very tasty. Harvey’s has a nice atmosphere and cozy feel. I would like to stop by for dinner sometime. I will definitely make this my stop for now on when I pass thru Midland.

Had a nice dinner there one evening. The fish is fresh and done in house and you can tell the difference. My wife and I were very impressed by our dinners. Service was good. The only thing we noticed that wasn’t a big deal but the bar patrons can be a little loud. Worth the effort to eat here.

Went back to Harvey’s. Haven’t been back since we walked out last year because they did not have prime steaks. I received a wonderful letter from the manager about my previous review. She sent me a complimentary meal card. Yesterday about 25 of our church members decided to go to Harvey’s for lunch. Just about everyone had ordered different items from the menu. We had several children with us also. Everything looked delicious and after everyone ate you could tell the food was good because most plates were empty or some took part of their
Food home.
It was very crowded when we arrived. We were sent to the veranda which was completely enclosed. Most of our group complained about the heat, which was extremely warm. Even though several fans were on low.
***Getting to the food. Every person was pleased with their food and the orders were generally a good size. My husband had a huge Cobb salad. He said it was very good.

The atmosphere was wonderful with a wide menu selection. The pot stickers were the best I’ve ever had! And my husband really enjoyed this sword fish. The semi-​outdoor dining space is the perfect place to eat in the summer time. Overall a great experience.
