This is a very popular restaurant. We learned that as we sat on the bench at Harper's on Saturday night, trying to get in. Party after party came in that had reservations so of course they were seated before us. But once we got in (after a 30-40 minute wait) our experience improved. We started with drinks and the Spinach Artichoke Dip. I ordered sangria, it came in a huge glass and it was delicious!! My friend ordered a mojito, it came in a small skinny glass. The spinach dip was a bit of a disappointment, it was on the dry side, not nearly as tasty as the same dip at Applebee's. :(
My friends both ordered the BBQ pork sandwich, they both raved about it. You can order it eastern or western style. I ordered the sirloin steak and the loaded baked potato. The steak came grilled exactly as I requested and the potato was delicious. I also had a tossed salad with blue cheese dressing, the dressing was delicious, I am very picky about my salad dressings.
Harper's is a great restaurant to go with friends because anyone can find something to order on their American menu. I have to knock them down a notch because the side dish my friend ordered never arrived, but we overlooked it because the place was insanely busy.
