Problem: Ugh....I hate to have to agree with the previous reviews but this place is not going to be at the top of my list of places to run back too for lunch. I went during lunch so the line was long and there were more than enough people behind the counter to have a productive assembly line to get us in and out...however they spent more time talking to themselves than helping us! I finally made it up to the counter, ordered my sub. Here's where this visit went way downhill, when it was time to came to add my toppings the lady behind the counter made it seem like it was a bit of an inconvenience for her...like how dare I ask for lettuce and jalapenos?!?!? UGH . O_o Eventually made it out, but I'm not running back to this location any time soon! OH, and this location did NOT have the raspberry cheesecake cookies!!!

Problem: This review only pertains to the restaurant side of Harvey American, I did not visit the bar. I've eaten places high class to home cooking, good food and bad food; Harvey American is the only place I've ever felt insulted. The evening started off well, the decor is a neat little mix between English public house and American saloon, it really gives the place a unique feel. The wait staff were friendly and the wait time wasn't too long. At first glance this place looked like the fabled Friendly Neighborhood Local Eatery that makes you happy you live near by. This fantasy came to an abrupt conclusion when the food arrived. The first hurdle was ordering something off the menu that did not have their signature rub (which tastes like K.C. Masterpiece). Its on the fries, on the bun, and mixed into the burger, I ordered a burger exclusively because it was the only one that didn't call out the rub. My fiancee ordered the baby back ribs, and to round out the order at a new place we ordered the risotto ball appetizer and a cup of soup as well. The risotto balls came out and were interesting, they had that signature spice but were a refreshing change from the usual fair. When the meal arrived the first thing i noticed was that the rub was, infact, on everything I ordered, fries, bun, in the burger, on the ribs, and the food was shockingly bland (yes even the ribs), the end result was that everything from appetizer to burger to ribs tasted exactly the same, in addition everything had almost the same consistency. I was left with the distinct feeling they were trying to hide the food behind the rub. The final straw was the soup, it didn't make it to our table when the rest of the food arrived, but when it did it made quite the entrance, I've never had soup that at a glance could be confused with instant flaked mashed potatoes before, but being a fan of flavor first and foremost, I dug in anyway. The soup was solid. The soup was so solid I stuck my spoon in it and it remained upright. I brought up my soup concerns to the server, who informed me it was supposed to be like that. I then turned the bowl upside down and neither the soup nor the spoon moved, the server took the bowel and left, some time later she returned, apologized, and said that this had never happened before. Harvey, I wanted to like you, but I couldn't help but notice you were hiding things from me.

Problem: As seen on TV, their food is wacky but tasty! Mexican mixed with Chinese, very interesting and a lot of creative food. While this is not a gourmet restaurant, it is worth a try. Their Chandler location is hard to find, behind Walgreen and you can barely see it from the main streets.

Problem: Postino is delicious, reasonably priced and fun. The only bummer is they don't have a full bar.
