Back in November, I have received a gift card from Harvey’s. Since our third son’s birthday was just coming around, we decided to go to Harvey’s to celebrate his birthday. It was a first for the kids as we had never brought them there before.
What is special about this fast food chain is that you can build your burger the way you want it to be. After each kids had picked their meal (as well as the adults), we instructed the Harvey’s employee on what each of us wanted in their burgers. You can pick onions, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, hot peppers as well as various condiments. Don’t like pickles in your burgers but adore them nevertheless? Not a problem as you can ask them to put some on the side for you. They will wrap them in an individual paper and put them in your tray.
Personally, I am not a big fan of the regular hamburgers. Somehow, I never liked them. However, I am a huge fan of their grilled chicken one and I even try a new sauce – Spicy Mesquite. It was delicious! Below are all the selections you can add to your burger.
Though the younger kids tried the Kids Combos, my oldest chose to eat a Great Canadian Burger which he loved.. My husband chose the Great Canadian Spicy Onion Bacon Burger and was a bit disappointed with it. We had frings (a combination of fries and onion rings), fries and onion rings to eat with this as well a drinks. With the Kids Combos, the younger ones also have a toy. If you compare the quality and the originality of the toys at Harvey’s with another fast food chain, it is a bit disappointing to see what they are offering. When we went they only had cardboard built your own dinosaur or a plastic building toys that didn’t have enough pieces to build something interesting… The dinosaur were broken within a day or two and the other toys quickly found its way in the recycling bin. The kids were disappointed but quickly got over it.
We had a great time at Harvey’s to celebrate our son’s birthday. The place was quiet though. Not many people were in the restaurant on Nov 21st. We had picked one that we knew that not many people go there in the evening. I think when we arrived there was only one person in the restaurant. When we left two other families had arrived…
Though the food is great and that you can find many Harvey’s throughout Canada, we find the prices a bit expensive. For a family of six the total amount was slightly over 50$. Not everyone can pay that much to take the family out to Harvey’s. There are many other possibilities for take out/restaurant that is cheaper than this for a big family like ours. We appreciate the fact that we had a gift card to enjoy our outing to Harvey’s but I would like to suggest the chain to consider putting cheaper meal options for big families or at least create a family meal option.
