Updated February 2022! Harvey’s is one of the largest fast food restaurant chains in Canada, with locations in every province. They’re well known for grilled burgers and a good selection of toppings. On our last update, Harvey’s allergen guide was a little piece of chaos with some errors. It looks like they have fixed it with a cleaner menu guide on their website. But be warned that there is still an old allergen guide floating around online that isn’t very accurate. And always double check before ordering – you can’t be too careful!

Awesome
Did the online app, drove up, grabbed the food and headed home. Food was done exactly right and ate a tasty Vegan meal. They made it easy and their app is the best/easiest one I’ve used yet. Pretty amazing. Also none of their packaging contained any plastic. Awesome. You guys are rockin’ it. Thanks.
