| - Frankly quite unimpressed, and this is coming from an American with regular exposure to McDonald's. I don't typically review chain fast food places, but I have never previously tried a Harvey's and figured that such a review may help out any American who finds themselves in Mississauga.
First impressions: nice layout, good parking availability at this one, easy to find on the corner of Dundas & Winston Churchill. For any American, this will seem kind of like a hybrid of a fast food burger place and a sandwich / sub place. You order on one end and then they'll move you down the line to customize whatever you're getting.
Service: nothing really noteworthy one way or another; I mean people aren't usually super stoked to work at a fast food joint. Typical service by all accounts. Somehow even though I clearly said that I wanted a burger and poutine, that got lost in translation even though the cashier was clearly looking at me and heard me. I had just run 4 km, so I wasn't really in the mood to get back in line to get it. This is Canada, poutine is everywhere.
Price: normal prices for Canada. Americans may balk at the raw price, but remember that it would be cheaper in USD.
Food: okay, here's where all the stars start going downhill. As a disclaimer, I am not a picky eater. I prefer value to fancy ingredients, but there's a limit to everything. I got the mushroom Swiss melt (original, not Angus). I don't typically put anything on these types of burgers, which is my favorite combination by the way. But I like to get the product as marketed on the fancy images, so I got it with pickle, onion, and tomato (the lettuce just didn't seem too palatable at the moment). Coincidentally, those three things were probably the best parts of the burger. Cheese was weak and virtually nonexistent. Patty was highly processed, more so than an average American fast food joint and accordingly had that very perturbing rubbery texture. Mushrooms were also incredibly rubbery and had clearly been sitting in some kind of preserving sauce kind of thing that overpowered their normal flavor. Bun was fine, did its best to hold the fort down. I am a big poutine person and not picky about it at that, so had I actually gotten that as originally requested, this probably would have been a 3-star review. Unfortunate that I don't really have any intentions of returning.
