Harveys

I’ve eaten at Harvey’s Tupelo for many years at lunch, dinner and private events. For a long time it was one of the nicest places to eat in this town and it’s centrally located in the business district, so I regularly had the chance to sit down here.
They do a great job with their appetizers — broccoli bites, fried cheese, stuffed mushrooms, etc. They’ve never had an entrée I was just crazy about.
They’ve done a terrible job with every private event I’ve ever been to. Kitchen staff is never able to coordinate things and as a result, entrees have always been lukewarm and pasty. Maybe one drink refill per meal.
Worst experience was when I had to bring my toddler to a private lunch because of a school dismissal. The waitress wouldn’t let me order for her off the menu because I was sitting with the group in the private dining room. Even on a separate ticket. Told me if I wanted to order for her off the menu, she’d have to be seated in another room at a table by herself. So my 3 year old had her choice of prime rib with asparagus or smothered chicken with garlic potatoes. She just waited and I went through a drive-​in after it was over.
Great apps, meh food, *sshole staff.

WORST RESTAURANT IN TUPELO. Got a call-​in order. First, waitress argued with us for 30 minutes on the phone because she said the online menu we were trying to order from was wrong. Second, asked for no croutons because of a wheat allergy and the salad was still covered in bread crumbs as if they had put them on and taken them off like what? Third, the salad was made with rotten lettuce. Last, the Delta Chicken I ordered was one rubbery chicken tender. Terrible service. Overrated food.

Just had the BEST dinner here! I had the tenderloin kabobs with the garlic mash potatoes, instead of the rice. The tenderloin was so tender and the glaze is amazing! A fresh veggie kabob comes with it. And I could have eaten another 6 of the rolls! So flaky and good.
My daughter had a chef salad and ate the whole huge thing.
Our waiter, Joe, was outstanding! Never had to ask for our drinks to be refilled.
If you’re in Tupelo this place is a must.

Great restaurant in Tupelo, fresh salads and meals, great service, great ambiance and varied menu for everyone. It’s a very nice restaurant, semi dark ambient lighting, don’t trip getting into the booth. We had great service from friendly, knowledgable wait staff. We had salads, colleague had the crab cake salad, tasty, other had the Caesar with chicken, delicious, I had the Asian salmon salad — yummy, moist grilled salmon, greens dressed in Asian vinaigrette, oranges and baby tomatoes… yummy. Freshly prepared foods, using local ingredients and Flavors, great restaurant.

Harveys has been around a while but the food is good and atmosphere great. It’s a great place for drinks and appetizers or a meal.
The food is a step up from blue plate but retains a southern flare.
The staff is very friendly. If you are in the Golden Triangle you can find there other locations in both Starkville and Columbus.

We had a great stopover in Harvey’s while on a cross-​country bicycle journey. We were between lunch and dinner time so sat at the bar and had 2 starters: the award-​winning Broccoli Bites and the Black Eye Pea Hummus. Both were excellent, fresh tasting and perfect with a beer after biking 40 miles. Branden (sp) was tending bar and took great care of us. He was so friendly and interested in our journey. We had a great time and highly recommend Harvey’s– great food and Southern hospitality!

This is my first time to Harvey’s for me and I really enjoyed it. From the service, to the food. I recommend this place.

What a welcome to Tupelo. Excellent service, great food and worthy of a five star review. I had just arrived in Tupelo and wasn’t exactly excited to be immediately running to a dinner, but as soon as we got in to the food, that changed.
We started with the broccoli bites. I’m not much of a broccoli eater, but when they’re deep fried with cheese and bacon with a side of honey mustard, things change. I had the Delta Chicken and it was absolutely perfect. The right amount of seasoning, great tasting sauces and jus for the garlic mashed potatoes.
Our server was fantastic and was just the right amount of attentive without feeling like he was hovering. We never had an empty glass the entire meal. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone in Tupelo looking for a great dinner.

My all-​time favorite restaurant in Tupelo. We’ve average dining at Harvey’s twice a month. It’s not always perfect, but when it’s not, Chase always makes it right. Our favorite appetizer is the Firecracker Shrimp with jimaca slaw. My husband usually gets the prime rib, rare and I prefer the beef filet. This week this is what we had. His prime rib was perfect and I tried the horseradish crust on my filet. I was not disappointed. One can also choose a blue cheese crust. Kris was our server and could not have been more attentive and professional. We will certainly ask for her again when we return and make no mistake, WE WILL.

I am sad to say this, but Harvey’s is on the decline. Service is still among the better in town MOST of the time (but avoid the curbside — they will ignore you all day long), but quality control in the kitchen is shot.
Our party of four ordered a fish special (can’t recall details as it wasn’t my order), two marinated steaks, and one Delta chicken.
Fish: Was good, according to the person who ordered it, but it lacked the sauce that was promised. Server promised to get it, forget twice, then brought back a congealed pinkish sauce in a ramekin. When the diner tried to drizzle is over her fish, it fell out in a clump. Disgusting to see, and the diner could not make herself eat it. At the end of the meal, the server cleared her plate, noted the clump of sauce, and said, «Oh, you didn’t like the sauce?» with apparently legitimate surprise. I would bet that his tip was adversely affected by that comment.
Steaks: One was ordered medium, and one was ordered medium well. Both arrived medium rare. One person kept his, and the other person sent hers back to be cooked medium well. It was returned to her absolutely burned, and her baked potato had been removed from the plate. The waiter never brought a replacement potato, and the steak was inedible.
Delta chicken: This was my order. The mashed potatoes that come with the chicken were delicious, as always, and so was the gravy on the chicken. The bird itself was disturbingly rubbery. This is an entrée that used to be reliably perfect, but no more. This is the second time in recent weeks that I’ve ordered the Delta chicken and received sub-​par meat.
We were really unhappy with our meals and did not want to chance dessert being equally bad, so we paid our bill and walked over to Tellini’s and consumed some wonderful tiramisu for dessert.

The marinated steak was good. My waitress, Taylor was a hoot. Little country girl from Vardaman, MS. She took good care of me on a busy night.

Not much to look at form the outside! We ate at Harvey’s for dinner while passing through on the NTP. The staff was great. The food was above average. The flavors were fresh and original. I would highly recommend the Prime Rib and BBQ Ribs. Also the fried cheese and broccoli cheese appetizer was delicious. The ambiance is great as well! Really friendly people.

Had Sunday lunch there today for the first time. We didn’t have to wait for a table, but there were definite «issues» at the hostess stand. There was a whole lot of circling, ex-​ing, highlighting, talking into the headset, etc for a restaurant with no wait. Strange. As we were lead to our table, the hostess mumbled that someone needed to «just deal with it.» I got the impression there was something going on we were not aware of. Not a good start.
After we sat down, someone came to take our drink orders. Very polite. Informed us that she was not our waitress. When our waitress did appear, she apologized for the delay… and blamed it on having too many tables. Made me think she didn’t want us to be there.
Bad service and poor lighting aside, our food was excellent. I had the Fettuccine Romano and it arrived exactly as described. Very tasty. Dessert was The Brownie and was also very nice. Tasty entrée and dessert = $ 20. Not bad. Improve the décor and service and this is 5 stars for sure!

Great service, great food, and great drinks! Wish we had one back in VA!

Cali girl in the deeeeep south… like totally.
I’m definitely not a prime rib fan, much less a prime rib sandwich, but oh my sweet Jesus. I inhaled my sandwich in less than 5 minutes… potato salad included haha. It’s no joke. That was by far one of the best meals I had in Mississippi. It was so good I came back for dinner to have the prime rib!
Cool factor: they got menus in Japanese! Yeah, kid you not. Thanks, Toyota! You have to visit Tupelo to know what I’m talking about.
ADVISORY: Really make a conscious effort to chew at least 10 times before you swallow. Don’t be an idiot like me & get heartburn afterwards. Oh, and it’s like the darkest restaurant ever. Don’t think they ever turn on any lights! But, trust me, you don’t need to READ anything, just tell your server «a prime rib sandwich with potato salad, domo arigato!»

Another blast from the past on the Tupelo food trail. Every town has or had a Harveys, Again snaps for anything lasting 30 years or more. The décor is the same as the day it opened and it feels like a cross between the Sizzler and Stuart Andersons Black Angus Steakhouse. We sat in a little booth and enjoyed a rocking good caesar salad and split a King Prime Rib. The rib was a bit rare rather than medium and a tad chewy, the veggies that came with it were almost cinder like but you know it was still a nice experience, service was really good and I must say super friendly with zero attitude, all this and 3 glasses of wine $ 39 — cant argue with that folks for value.

I am a regular Harvey’s visitor. The best thing on the menu are their broccoli bites for appetizer and the delta chicken for the entrée. Delish! They always have excellent customer service. The Thursday soup of the day is also really good which is the chicken and corn chowder. You should eat it with saltine crackers because the sweetness of the soup clashes with the wafer crackers. I agree that it’s a little pricey for the portions but well worth it.

Stopped there for work. I got the prime rib sandwich and it was way too fatty and over cooked. Also agree with someone that the portions were small. The restaurant was way too dark as well.

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!
My brother and I ate here on a cross-​country road trip. I wish wish wish that they had Harvey’s in California! This place was soooooo GOOD. I’ve eaten at some of the most renowned steakhouses and Harvey’s– SERIOUSLY– the best steak that I’ve EVER HAD. OMG! I cannot even tell you!
You need to eat here! It will change your life.

The food was very good, but the portions seemed small. This is one of the darkest restaurants that I’ve ever eaten in too, however it works toward there advantage and the atmosphere of a really fine dinning experience. I had the tuna dinner with a kabob of vegetables that was very good, however they didn’t serve it with any sides of any type. No soy-​genger or wasobie sauce. Over all, this place is really nice and I’ll need to consider other options for my next meal.
