One of my favorite meals is the chicken fried steak, mashed potato's, both covered with milk gravy and a side of fried okra. Talk about memories, my mom's is the best. So when we discovered this place, we didn't know if it would match my memories or be another frozen mock up.\n\nWalking in, the decor is really countr...

Place has Texas ambiance in spades. You leave the cavernous restaurant and you almost expect to step onto a dusty street in the panhandle. The chicken fried steak is great and when you consider the $8 price tag it becomes downright splendid.

Had the big nasty tonight, a biscuit topped wth fried chicken breast. Cheddar cheese and sausage gravy. Very good tasting and the service was supeb. The only flaw was the wilted salad which has the dressing mixed in which was the reason for only 4 stars. Next time i will order the dressing on the side.

People really need to understand where they are going and the role the place is supposed to fulfill. I find it funny that all three of the negative reviews mention how the food was great and the environment is chaos. That is what they do at Harvey's.

Running errands near Camelback a few Fridays ago, I found myself STARVING, yet having several more stops on my itinerary.

Don't let the looks fool you, the grill is great here. The Reuben is as good as any I've had. I like it here to get out of the bright desert heat and have a cold draft to cool my heels for a few.

Yes, it's a dive bar. But it's one of the most interesting dive bars I've ever been to.\nThey only have 2 beers on draft, and only about 10 items on the menu.

Just to be weird, I have only gone here for lunch. With Groupons.\n\nAll I can say is that a) the burgers are good b) it's so blatantly anti-yuppie that its actually appealing, and c) I need a leisure suit and a mid-70's Dodge to do this place right.

I wanted to love it so much!! I don't mind the divey old school feel, I just felt the burger was not all it's cracked up to be. It was juicy, but under seasoned, so it didn't have much flavor.

As a loyal (former) patron of Harvey's Wineburger for over 40 years, I can now announce that the change of ownership in the past year or so has murdered the magnet that kept customers coming back - their hamburgers.

They've changed hands again. I'd been going there fairly regularly for something like 20 years. The guy who started it (Harvey, I presume) ran it for around 40 years, until he died.

In 1980 this place was outdated. And nobody's changed anything since.
