“ Harvey's has always had wonderful food. Their meat is cooked perfectly and is so tender! The sauces are delectable and the mac and cheese is a winner too. Unfortunately, their prices have increased dramatically from a couple of years ago, meaning that we can't afford to go as often. ”

“ This place had amazing BBQ! Was not expecting to find this hidden gem in Mt. Joy! Was so good, I didn't even take my usual pictures! We had the brisket sandwich with baked beans, BLT sandwich and pastrami sandwich with fries. We left stuffed. Inside decor was so cute and inviting. Ella was very polite and courteous! Will be back! ”

“ VERY GOOD In hind sight if I were to eat there again, would like my ribs dry with the sauce on the side. ”

“ The best BBQ in the area! Ordered take out frequently during the pandemic that I had to have them cater my wedding. The catering menu is so much better than the restaurant menu. The service is amazing as the people are friendly and super attentive. I highly recommend this place. ”

“ Harvey's BBQ, Mount Joy, PA: A Dining Experience Not to Miss If you find yourself at Harvey's BBQ on a beautiful day, make sure to dine in their outdoor courtyard. The picturesque setting significantly enhances the overall dining experience. Should the weather turn chilly, the indoor area is equally inviting, featuring a cozy fireplace in one of the rooms. The courtyard alone makes it worth a visit, easily a 4-star experience. Parking is convenient, with ample spaces available behind and beside the building if street parking is full. The service at Harvey's BBQ is exceptional--attentive, friendly, and efficient. The portion sizes and value are excellent. I tried the "Decision Maker," which includes ribs, brisket, Cajun sausage, chicken, and a couple of sides. It's a hearty meal that can easily satisfy two hungry men. Now, onto the important part--the BBQ: * Ribs: Although smaller and overcooked by my standards (they didn't leave a bite mark), the flavor was excellent--juicy and tender, falling off the bone. Most diners will love them! 6/10 * Chicken: Well-cooked and dipped in a flavorful smoky mustard sauce. Moist and enjoyable. 6/10 *Pulled Pork: Perfectly cooked, moist, juicy, flavorful, good amount of bark mixed throughout, in my opinion best meat on the tray. 8/10 * Brisket: As a seasoned brisket enthusiast who has sampled brisket at approximately 400 different BBQ restaurants, I found it better than most commercial spots. It didn't pass the KCBS judging pull test but was still a solid offering. 7/10 * Cajun Sausage: This was a pleasant surprise. It had a nice snap and excellent flavor, surpassing my usual expectations for sausage. 7/10 * Collard Greens: Very flavorful and well-prepared. 8/10 * Onion Rings: My favorite side dish. They were almost perfect and definitely worth trying. 9/10 * Cornbread: A large, moist, crumbly portion with a sweet overtone, almost cake-like. As a Southern gentleman, I prefer cornbread without sugar, but considering the portion size and moisture, it's decent. 5/10 * Sauces: Tomato-based, available in mild or spicy. The spicy version wasn't particularly hot, just with a slight kick. Good but not remarkable. 6/10 I wish Yelp allowed half-star ratings because Harvey's BBQ is better than a 4-star but not quite a perfect five-star establishment. Sit on the patio; you won't be disappointed. While they were rated the best BBQ in PA by yelp ( I would say might be one or two better) would definitely stop by again if I'm in the area. Even if the food were subpar, the service and patio would make up for it. Tell them BBQ America Big E! sent you. Back on the road again, looking to visit 500 BBQ shacks around the world! ”

“ I believe certain foods are difficult for folks to make and barbeque is one of them. I've been to many bbq restaurants/chains as well and you'll get a heap of meat, but it'll be dry and I'm thinking they're thinking, the sauce will make up for the dryness of the meat Or it will be over-smoked and all you taste is smoke. This was not the case for Harvey's. I felt the meat was tender, flavorful (even without the sauce). The sauce was good, but not addictingly good. For a small sandwich, Harvey's packed a huge punched-sized serving and a small side of collards, were perfectly cooked, with a hint of pepper and vinegar. ”

“ Hidden gem! This place is honestly one of the best BBQ spots that I have EVER had. Happened to be in the area for a basketball tourney and happened to find this place before heading back home after a busy weekend. I had low expectations. But wow, what a pleasant surprise from the great service, the vibe, all top notch. The food was amazing, place was spacious. Prices were reasonable and food was incredible. I highly recommend this place and I will be back during my next trip out to Spooky Nook ”

“ Very delicious experience with REALLY excellent service from Danny. We needed a kid-friendly restaurant for our large party. This place met our needs. First know it is BYOB and there is a pretty nice liquor store up the block in the shopping center with Giant. They have a great kids menu with lots of options. The kids' chicken fingers gets you two fingers and a side for $8. The portion of fries was generous and could be shared with two kids if you want to get another kid a different side such as applesauce. The bbq was also pretty delicious! We got lots of different things like pulled pork, ribs, chicken, sausage and boar. Everyone loved everything! Danny was an EXCELLENT server! He recommended the collard greens and Mac and cheese. The greens have pork and were nice and salty (not a criticism!). The pulled pork goes best with the spicy bbq sauce. Over all the service by Danny is what really made this experience 5 stars. We hope to be back when we're in the area. ”
