On Wednesday, October 23rd, we visited the Harvey’s drive-thru location in Alliston. We ordered the following: an Original burger with NO CHEESE, fries, and a lemonade; an Original cheeseburger with bacon, onion rings, and a lemonade; a 4-pack of chicken strips with Ghost Pepper sauce; and two birthday cake pies. There was only one car ahead of us, and they left just as we pulled up to the window. We had the staff member read back our order because the total came to $41.87, and everything seemed correct. We paid, waited for our order, and quickly checked to make sure the pies were included since we had a 20-minute drive home. When we got home and unpacked the meal, we realized the fries and Ghost Pepper sauce were missing. My Original burger had cheese on it, melted into the bun, even though I specifically asked for no cheese. The onion rings, pies, and chicken strips were overcooked. I’ve lived in the area for 20 years and have visited this location many times, but something has changed because the quality of both the food and the customer service has seriously gone downhill. We called the store right away, but it took six calls and over an hour before someone finally answered. The person who picked up said we could come back to get the fries, but making a 40-minute round trip for fries and a burger made the way I ordered it wasn’t happening. He said he was the night supervisor, but he was completely nonchalant, as if he didn’t care at all about the poor service he and his staff were providing and said his manager can call back the next day The next day, my partner received an email offering 20% off for the inconvenience, which was just $8. So they expect us to return, pay more, and risk getting the same bad food and service? The manager then called my partner that evening and again offered 20%. After a conversation, he “sweetened” the deal by throwing in an extra fry. My partner declined, and the manager just said “okay.” No other resolution was provided and no care that he just lost a customer. We paid $41 and had to toss $30 worth of food. Where is your logic Harvey’s??? I’m so disappointed in Harvey’s or maybe it’s just the people working today who don’t take pride in providing a quality product or service. These are the people representing YOUR brand. Do better in your hiring process because I’m tired of wasting our hard-earned money. Safe to say we won’t be returning to the Alliston location again.
This location has a horrible smell throughout like raw sewage. The entrance area smells horrible, and so does the entire inside. Even worse, The washrooms are filthy and smell worse than a porta-potty. The service was good and staff were nice. The meat in the burger must have changed, it was like pate vs the juicy burgers Harvey's used to serve. But, regardless, the smell in this place is a turn off and it should be shut down and investigated.
The burger did not have condiments in it, even if I ordered them,very dry burger
Service and food was really good and staff was friendly as well. Will be back for sure.
Went to drive thru today. It took awhile before someone came on the speaker. I don't know why it was taking so long to take an order, no one at drive thru except me. Finally when she asked what she could get me? Better and faster service to start with. Sped away without an order. My time is of no value to this store. Not the first time this happened.
Made fresh by Vidal after I made a request. I really appreciate this small but AWESOME act of thoroughness.. truly cares about his job.
I've ordered two large poutines and both times it feels like they're REALLY skimping on the fries. I felt like for a large $9 poutine they would've at least filled the box up but you can see in the photo it's barely halfway (and no i promise i did not eat it before taking the picture)
Very clean establishment. Ordered the "Big Harv" fairly hefty. Big bite, the two kinds of cheese do a quick 1-2 punch up of flavour....but that's it. No burger taste, no seasoning, no flame grill crunch. All in all, a bitter disappointment. Harveys, wake up and season the actual patties. This is what you've come to expect from a frozen product. Mediocrity, blandness and meh. Edit: The toppings are top tier. However they aren't going to cover for the patties that so desperately in need of seasoning. Until Harvey announces something different with the actual burger itself, I have visited for the last time.😓
Dont eat here, the owner is cheap. Better not spill any food theyll charge you for it. Might even ask you to lick it up in fear of wasting cleaning supplies.
Used a coupon, great burgers always at Harveys. Restaurant was clean, a little bit dark inside
Best burgers around
Only Harveys Ive ever been too that cant add chicken breast to a burger, have it Harveys way, not my way
Very good eating big Hervey and very good service good job thanks you Im be deaf I will be back
Krip is my pookie bear
Hours are from 10:30-10:30. Arrived on a Tuesday at 10:10pm and all lights were off and restaurant was closed. Please adjust hours to reflect correct closing time. This was very inconvenient.
Good food with good service
Deep took my order helped me and made it, tasted great
Come here often and the staff is great and the food is always tasty Parking: Great location I have been coming here for a long time Food : 5/5 |

Krishna top notch service ever
Overall great experience and good staff.
Good Food Good service
The staff are amazing and the food was awesome! Vegetarian options: The veggie burger is excellent! Parking: Parking is easy and you don t have to pay for it.
Me and my partner usually get our burgers and sandwiches from this restaurant, our favorite burger spots in all of Alliston, the service is amazing as well, there s a specific young man that s always friendly I ve never caught his name, overall I I highly recommend this restaurant!!!
Great food and service. This location in Alliston is usually hot inside. Today was very comfortable. Food
I love it
Beautiful. Just being in the mere presence of the employees made my day. Food was such great quality it tasted Heavenly. God Bless you, Harvey s
Potatoes not cooked at all, rice terrible Chicken was ok Food
Experience was terrible asked is that everything after every single word very disrespectful, I felt very rushed. Also they didn t say a single word while I waited at the window for 10 minutes! Threw the debit machine in my face while I was trying to pay cash.
Very unprofessional and even the service is also not upto the mark. Never coming back
The poutine gravy was disappointingly runny, not meeting the expected thickness.They should work on costumer service as well. Not happy with their service.
The gentleman making our order helped me by making the pieces smaller for me to eat with having jaw issues Parking: 50 plus
Probably one of the better fast food locations in alliston that has their $@!# together. Dude taking the orders and handing it out knows what he is doing!
Staff helped clarify coupon I had. They were very efficient and told us how long it would take. Parking: Small side lot, large busy main lot.
Food is always great. Employees are friendly and helpful. Never had a bad experience there.
Average and reasonable speed through the drive through. Food quality is typically well represented at this location. Parking: Can get busy but usually room in the drive through parking lot.
I visited this location last week. After the sour and unprofessional service from a manager at this location, I decided to call the head office and made a complaint. Its been a week, and there has been no call back. The junior chicken sandwich was over, OVER fried, and rubbery consistency. I went back to the window and requested a refund. The ignorant guy gave 1.50 in change. When on your display, it states over 3. And some change. He argued with me at the window because I got a combo with it, too? It was a brown, ignorant guy who was incredibly rude and unprofessional and didnt even apologize for the poor experience. Wont recommend or ever return.
That Buffalo chicken tho. Literally thats what I say and they make my order knowing what I want. Frequently visit
Probably help customers if you had the toppings listed instead of just the works The person taking the order wouldnt even tell me what other toppings they had available, just doing the minimal. They barely put any toppings on the burger. Went home and had to dress the burger myself. Kinda pathetic to be honest.
Extra olives = 2 olives. Never have anything in , no cucumbers, onions etc Harvey s is great but avoid this location, terrible service and their version of a burger is a patty with an olive slice, a piece of onion , part of a tomato and a smirk Terrible service recently as well.. not sure what changed at this location .
Never had a bad burger from here
Excellent service, communicated well and very fast. Will definitely come again :)
The parking lot is a joke.postage size.After thought. I hope you have a small car. Nice if they could get my order right. Food : 4/5
Place needs a deep cleaning.Didn t even order anything for myself.
This place is always dirty inside. Clean it up guys it doesnt make me feel very confident in what im eating
Service was slow, seemed more worried about drive thru. Order was correct. Was disappointed when I watched a staff member drop the dipping sauce on floor. Then proceeded to toss it into bag. I tossed the fries the sauce was sitting on. Won t be back.
Went to Harveys today to pick up lunch and there was no one else in the restaurant or I line. I still ended up waiting over 10 minutes before walking out not receiving service as three different employees stood around the computer unable to figure out the computer without any apologies or effort to take my order. This is completely an acceptable and will never return
Great location, friendly staff
Friendly staff and good food.
Fountain drinks are expired you can taste the stale pop. Their blatters probably wont be replaced till empty. Absolutely horrible pop choice. Even the water tasted dirty... i believe the fountain is long overdue.
Goa a bacon cheese burger Angus. . The burger was not warm enough to melt the cheese the bacon looked like they scraped it together from scraps also to cold to melt the cheese . . . . I have been told not to go to this location for food and I will be passing that along to everyone that thinks about going out for fast food......DO NOT EAT AT THIS LOCATION!!!!
Excellent customer service. Fast and accurate with the order. Food was hot and delicious. Only downfall is extra charge for dipping sauce
I went to pick up a large order for my grandchildren. The staff was friendly and helpful. They labeled the dressed burgers for easy identification. They were fast and accurate. Thanks.
How does Google say close at 1030 and they are closed at 10:06??? Rude!
Harveys burgers are seriously tasty! Theyre juicy, packed with flavor, and oh-so-satisfying. The toppings are fresh and add that extra zing to every bite. Whether youre into classic cheeseburgers or feeling adventurous, Harveys has got you covered. The buns are soft and toasty, the perfect match for those mouthwatering patties. Trust me, Harveys burgers are a must-try for a seriously good fast-food fix!
The staff are amazing here. Although it seems they are very understaffed at this location, they are always friendly, efficient, helpful, and professional.
Always great when I stop by. The Big Harv Angus is in a League of its Own.
Good customer service
Good
Hot food happy customer
Excellent customer service
We had a bad experience once before, and a colleague and I stopped in for lunch the other day. I was most pleasantly surprised as the food was great and service superb. We found the calorie count is lower than the local comparable burger places. Will make Harveys our goto place for lunch or dinner. Parking: Lots of parking available
love the burgers. not to sure about the burger coming out of a warmer though. I thought harvey s was fresh flame broiled. so my favourite place through a curve hall at me when i saw that. this place doesn t look old. however it is dirty everywhere you look. i m talking dirty that a. quick clean on a regular basis would resolve. you have a great restaurant. please clean the washrooms and front of the house well.
Friendly staff, clean environment, quick service
Polite staff
The crispy chicken sandwich is the best!
How can you not crave a Harveys burger. Lol
Love the staff here. They have been amazing everytime I come in. Fast and polite. Highly recommend this location!
Not happy at all food was cold and messed up the order did not get what i asked for last time there .
Really kind staff ! Went in for a quick dinner , they were super friendly, service was quick !
This is the worst place to go Customer service not good Tells u one price at the speaker then you get to the window a different price Don t even tell u and do nothing just look at you like u will not notice the price has change Will never go to this one one again If I could give this place negative I would They don t care just like to rip you off I hope the owner of this restaurant see this and get back to me so we can work this out but I know this will never happen they don t care From a very unhappy customer
This is an old standby when we need a quick bite and I dont feel like preparing supper. I tried the deep fried pickle poutine and it was good. I like fact that I can easily make a gluten free friendly hamburger salad here simply by asking for no bun and extra veggies like lettuce and tomatoes. The ambiance of the sit down area is rather blah, but I can cope with it.
Always make the perfect burger, and their condiments are always fresh. They even offered to keep our take out portion under the heat to we left.
Getting our food took long & no dine-in option. We ordered food for 4 of us and they tried cramming it all into one bag. They even put 3 pies in one bag (no boxes per pie). Just an awful experience.
Great
Quick service
Harveys wasnt my favourite as a kid, but theyre the only fast food that hasnt had a noticeable decline in quality
I ordered a chicken strip combo with a poutine. When I looked in the bag it was fries. No big deal, minor slip up, I go and have them change it. Turns out they didnt charge me for the poutine I asked for and the manager was confused when I said I wanted one. Lady, Im not trying to scam you out of a $2 poutine. But what got me was after all that waiting and confusion she then asked me for the original fries back. First of all, gross, how would you know I hadnt started eating them. Second, what is your need for them now that I had them? Are you tossing them? Are you throwing them back in the warmer? I was miffed, and definitely will not be going back.
Wonderful experience. Candice was a breath of fresh air. Polite, personable. You could see her smile behind the mask. Food was hot & delicious. Love those deep fried pickles!!
Good value, great burger and things! Cannot go wrong!
Need to listen to customer.
Pathetic service. Went to use coupon I was told its mobile only when it clearly states in fine print and big bold letters that the coupon can be used in store, drive thru or mobile. I asked for a manager but was told there isnt one and wasnt provided any info whatsoever
Went here today completely messed up an item on my order couldn t go back because I was on my break and called them told me I could get a refund but hung up on me and did not tell me where to get it or how too
Great service and food. I come here on a regular basis the staff is always friendly and efficient.
we arrived at 9.10 pm on Saturday store was empty before we ordered we were told that they closed at 10 pm. after ordering we were told it would be nine minutes seemed long to us for a hamburger but we waited after 10 minutes got our food sat down to eat and chat.at 9.55 the manger told us we had to leave as he was going to lock the door. we said we would be finished in a few minutes but he raised his voice demanding us to leave. when i said we would be done soon he walked away from us without saying word,he was completing unprofessional and he stared at us as we were leaving I will never return to this location and I will advise anyone who will listen do not go there they have no customer service skills
2022 July: 4/5 -friendly service, okay drive thru speed...went at lunch during a weekday...I was the 5th car, was out of there after 7 minutes of waiting...burger was as expected quality...
The website says closing at 10:30 I got there at 9:50 waited behind a car for a long time and when I got to order at 9:58 the guy said we re closed and turned off the light. He was rude. Either change the hours on ur website or at least have the workers serve the last costumer they made them wait.
Im giving them a 2 cause Im nice. The burgers werent made right, under cooked.
Parking: Lots of space
Washroom is disgusting floor in the restaurant was all sticky with pop not very confident about the Cook questionable food.
I ordered on the mobile app, I do that all the time. Never an issue till I went to this one. It said that it will be 10 minutes, it was 4;30pm on a Friday night so it was empty in there. I sat at a dirty table wanting for my food. About 5 minutes into the wait someone came in and order a meal and got it within 5 minutes. It took them 16 minutes to make my food which was only a veggie burger, fries, a poutine, and a fountain drink. They only gave me one set of fork and knife, I need two because my veggie burger has no bun and the poutine was for the child I had with me. I also wasnt given a straw. So I when back to get that and had to wait a long time again. Still very empty and workers just standing there but trying to look away from me. A teenager came in to work and they made him go clean up the dinning area. I think they were just not wanting to do it so they waited for a teenager to come in to do it. Make the guest eat in a mess. Definitely worth driving to Cookstown or Angus instead of going here
Not sure what happened to this place lately but the service is terrible, toppings are never fresh and food isn t the same. Shame
Burgers are good but the gravy on the poutine is horrible, just had it for the first time the gravy tastes like cardboard with a horrible aftertaste i had two bites and had to throw it out. Complete waste off money. Never buy the poutine.
Weve moved into the area 4 years ago and its one of the best locations. Friendly staff, hot, fresh food . Never had a problem
We had a mix up in our order with the app and they were so accommodating. Thank you for fixing our mistake !!
Great
Always a great meal at this location
Wasn t given what I ordered and the bun wasn t even healthy looking. Been going to Harvey s for years, but after this I ll probably never go again.
Good food, service
Asked for mustard and onion on a burger.. only two toppings and they managed to forget the onion. Sad as Harveys is usually my favourite burger place but my last few visits to the Angus location have been disappointing :(
Worst experience. Ordered combo. Got just burger. Even, they didnt put the topping that i told them. Went back they couldnt open door and didnt pick the call.
They mail out coupons for price discounts, then you go and try to use the coupons and they say that its 8 p.m. or later. But nowhere on the actual coupon voucher doesnt say anything about times. And the employees at the store cannot understand or speak basic coherent English.
Slow...4 working in store, still tool 20 min to get order. At least it was hit!
Worst customer service.
My Angus combo was delicious and for my first time ordering through the app, it was not difficult at all to do. I did notice that none of the wheelchair buttons to open the door actually work at all, which unfortunately makes this place wheelchair inaccessible.
Food was good. Quick service
Crispy chicken is great
Fast friendly service. Drive through get the orders correct every time. Courtious service.
Pretty good food and nice service. Much better than it was before...not charging me extra 50 cents for having a mayo on the side. Lol
good food but pricey
Label your veggie burgers! I just spent ten minutes doing a guessing of is this meat ? Out of three times we ve ordered here this has happened twice. No ketchup was given. We were the only people at this location, I don t understand the rush.
Its good for me
So, Im the only customer inside, order taken and being prepared, but while I wait, 3 vehicles go in to the drive through! Their orders were taken, prepared and delivered before mine! I guess they were all VIPs! Next time, I will order at the drive through and walk in to eat!!
If I could give 0 stars I would, after giving an order and reconfirming the order twice with the person they still managed to give me the wrong order, I wasn t even angry or mad just went back in the drive Thur and told them that it was a sandwich I order and not a wrap and this worker starts arguing telling me what I ordered and just started going on a rant saying the drive thru box has a recording and that I m lying. Really I m going to lie about what I ordered? I told him to go and check the recording and when he wasn t sure he gives attitude. By far the worst customer service I ve ever received, this worker of yours needs to relax and watch the way he talks to customers. I didn t pay for a meal and ask for disrespect.
They closed 1 hour earlier than the hours on the door window yet had their drive thru window open.
I have been going here for awhile, and never had a real problem. Today however is a different story. The guy working there who I havent seen there before was very rude and condescending. He told me that I wasnt ordering correctly. He said I had to order what I wanted then tell him what I wanted on each item at the end. I had already told him what my husband wanted on his burger. So, then I said what I wanted on my sandwich and he repeated what I already told him for the burger. If he was able to enter that info when I said it, why bother telling me Im ordering wrong. I didnt even want to take my order after being spoken to that way, but I was ordering food not just for me. I will call and speak to manager, not cool at all. Oh and he didnt even say anything when he handed me the bag, no thank you, no have a nice day...nothing. This guy needs to check himself.
Not a bad review but not a great review. Service is ok. Everything here is alright. Slow but steady? They reduced the poutine size which hurt my soul and charged the same price but such is business.
Great burger and onion rings.
Harveys has excellent customer service and super delicious food...
Always a good burger. Pretty quick too
Its always a great experience at this location we go there all the time
Great staff and a great burger! The kids loved it and so did we!
I was actually disappointed in the food quality in the alliston location now , it has changed, staff was friendly but the food was garbage the last three times
Good value for your money.
When you cook a burger 30 minutes before it s ordered and then just throw it on the grill for a minute it s going to be dry and terrible
Staff are not good. They have never gotten my order right no matter how many times I have to repeat what I want, very lazy with upkeep of cleanliness of store, no customer service skills.
Food was fine, but one worker was cleaning tables when I went in. There were many fries and napkins on the floor that he stepped over. Then joined two other workers for a lengthy chat behind the counter. No sense of urgency to clean up the mess on the floor.
A bit pricy but the food is good
Love their burger specials.
Burger was burnt bun was stale
It was ok,but did not care for the meat lovers poutine. And never ended up eating the chicken sandwich.
Great as usual
Grilled chicken was half cooked didnt have time or I wouldve gone back
Love Harveys burgers and fries.
I wish I could recommend this place but I cant. Its not Harveys or the food. Its just the staff/management, general lack of customer service and store cleaning. Tables left uncleaned even when there is no one in the store. Unhelpful staff who seem not interested in helping customers or going the extra mile. Do yourself a favour if your in the area go to Cookstown and the Tanger outlet mall location, youll have a much superior experience
Fresh fresh fresh
The double Angus burger is great, fries are hot & crispy! Good customer service as well!
Eat like a champ and for a really good price
customer service is absolutely terrible and rude, they will ignore you, speak over you and the food is always stale and sloppy. might as well tire yourself out making your own food than dealing with the frustration of this place.
Wow! I just had the worst Harveys Burger in my life. Harveys was built on making a fantastic burger. With food being served like this, unfortunately the name will be tattered and tarnished. The bun was dry and the burger was definitely under the heat lamp for awhile. Im pretty sure the burgers were made fresh at one time. Honestly that burger was shameful to the food chain.
So slow it s unreal :-(
Was driving though town, don t live around here but stopped in to grab lunch for my mother and I. Best burger and poutine we have had in a very long time. Definitely returning to this location
Nice and quick staff and very helping compare to other fast food chain
Wonderful fries, delicious hamburger
