Harvey's - Ottawa

My 'go to ' place since the 90 's when it first opened, as I live across the street which is handy. It 's one of the better locations so I 've continued to go there. In 25 years it 's been overall pretty decent. Last couple of times I 'm not so sure that I want to continue going there. I know all about shrink flation etc but the size of the chicken you get now is actually quite comical but that 's not what made me mad. I went in to order takeout...quarter chicken leg and it was over 20 bucks. Okay, I can live with that but when I got home I was shocked. The chickens outer skin was as hard as a rock and even underneath where I had to dig for tender pieces. I was prompted to leave a tip in take out which I didn 't and I 'm thinking because I didn 't. I got rock hard chicken. I can 't think of any other reason why I was given that. It all ended up in the garbage. I did not want to go back as it wasn 't convenient at the time. DO BETTER!

Rotisserie Chicken is one of a kind with fresh cut fries with free refill soda. My mom loves the chicken and it is the most gentle food you can have in my opinion.

A good meal. The restaurant has been recently refurbished. They have trimmed the menu back down to the favorites. Chicken dinner was quick and good. We will come back again.

They just reopened after the fire. The double leg dinner was as good as usual but my wife and friend ordered the chicken pot pie and both had soggy and undercooked tops on then. They were not pleased with their plate but they just removed the top and ate the insides!!! Also the d sticky booths have all been replaced with new stuff so the fire did help somewhat!

Standard fare......ordered take away and it was good for a quick meal ....you can never go wrong as the standards are all the same
