  • Have dined at Harpers many times at both the Woodlawn Rd location and also the SouthPark location. I haven't been in a few years and was down near Carolina Place Mall and looking for a good, casual meal. I saw the Harpers and based on good memories from visits to previous locations decided to dine there. Walking in the traditional wood fired grill gave me pleasant reminders as the scent of hickory filled the air. We sat down in a comfortable booth and began looking over the menu. I was open to new items as I was sure things had changed but have to say I was a bit disappointed to see that Harpers seems to be letting others lead. Most of their menu items looked like things other restaurants have innovated. There were a couple of promising looking items (but they did not include the $17 farm raised salmon). I decided to go with the crispy chicken sandwich. Harpers used to have an amazing chicken sandwich with a simple but good bun and a tasty dijon mustard sauce. My companion went with the artisan pizza (flatbread) with bacon cheeseburger. He loved it and he also loved the tomato bisque. My chicken sandwich was nothing special. It was OK but it was dripping wet and the chicken was kinda room temperature. Slaw on a sandwich is OK but it shouldn't be sopping wet. And side from the hint of jalapeno, there just wasn't any flavor. Texture was pretty bland as well. The slaw was wet but not crisp. The bread was OK but not remarkable. The chicken was competently cooked but not hot. The fries came in hot but were a mix of crispy and soggy. Some seemed like they had been overcooked but were crispy. Others were soft and saturated with oil as if they had been dumped in when the oil was well below temperature. We had discussed getting dessert there versus going someplace and getting a whole cheesecake, pie, etc and simply taking it home. However, I remembered the deep dish apple cobbler so we decided to share one. It took a very long time to get the cobbler and I though that perhaps it had been freshly made and they were simply waiting on it to be thoroughly cooked. One bite told me that the cobbler (which was still pretty flavorful) was at least a day old and had simply been re-heated. The breading was soft and saturated with no hint of crispness or crunch. There was plenty of cinnamon and sugar. I also ran across a couple of apple slices. However, this seemed a bit short of my memories of hot and fresh cobbler I had had numerous times before. On the whole it was a poor substitute for something that used to be a signature dessert. Given a $38 bill with tip for myself and my son I won't be hurrying back. I'm sure a couple of soft drinks would have pushed us into the $42 range and that's simply to much for an "OK" lunch for two.
