We love the Harvest! Fantastic describes the food and the service. They have the best and biggest ham steak dinner, leftovers for days. The broasted chicken is also amazing. Thanks to Kayla Jo and staff for always being the best.

This restaurant is very simple but acts like a supper club with a very nice salad bar. The service was fantastic and friendly. We had the meatloaf dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy, and the asparagus was fantastic. When in the area I would recommend this place!
