    Bacon Cheese Grilled Fresh Jalepeo
    Dustin U.

    Today I had my usual Bacon Cheese Grilled Fresh Jalepeo 1/2lb burger. As usual it didn't disappoint. My dietitian and personal trainer will not be happy, but I am! They also have good salads which my partner enjoys, but if you want an honest to goodness hole in the wall greasy burger, this is the best place in East Dallas! Only a few stools to sit on, so it's more of a to-go experience, but it doesn't take too long. If you call ahead odds are it'll be hot and ready in 10-15 most days.

    Fries were great burger sucked.

    Old School fries were a 10! The burger sucked. Precooked reheated burger granted I got the 1/4 pound and not the 8oz but the bun to meat ratio was sad. And I love bread. Device was good. It's small so if it's busy plan on taking it out to eat.

    Maaaaaaaaan. Do yourself a favor and come get a burger here! "The best burger behind bars." There isn't much seating if you want to eat here. That is okay. I ordered a half pound bacon cheeseburger with grilled jalapeños. It was hot, fresh, and fast. The picture doesn't capture the quality or flavor. Daniel, Maria, and Chris were awesome. Amazing staff. Y'all earn your ratings. Thank you. I'll definitely swing back when I'm in town again.

    I asked for extra onions so my burger was off but omg! Bacon cheeseburger w extra onions!  delish!!

    Must try! Heard about this place and thought, why not. It did not disappoint!! From the staff that was on point to the food & the Mexican Coke they had too! Will come again! Not pictured were nuggets that were 10/10!

    Grilled Chicken Salad
    Liz C.

    First time here and the people and service are awesome! Not many places to sit, but it still feels cozy and welcoming. The chicken salad was to die for, very well seasoned and the fried egg and cheese added to the flavor. The 1/4 burger was huge...I will try that next time! I don't know how I missed this spot before.

    We hadn't had food from Harvey B's in a long time and it sounded so good to us. I called to place the order and was put on hold for over five minutes, then was hung up on. I called right back and was sent to answering with a full mailbox. Then called again and no one picked up. So I ordered online, a BBQ bacon burger and a Chili burger, Jalapeno Poppers and tots. Two of the poppers were so small hubby mistook them for tots. I tasted one and didn't finish it. Not good. Husband got order and brought it home and both of our buns were burned and my burger patty was burned, dried out, and tough enough that I had trouble cutting it with a sharp knife. I ate less than half and was done. Hubby didn't eat it all either and threw it away. The original owner must have sold this place because it was soo good but now it is abysmal. We are not going back. Awful!

    What a wonderful find! This place isn't in the most savory side of town but it houses some of the best burgers you will ever eat. Walked in and was greeted by a friendly and personable young man behind the counter. He quickly explained the ins and outs of the menu and put us all at ease. Behind him you could see the kitchen staff at work making old school burgers. Nothing fancy, just good ingredients put together with care and passion. He recommended their onion rings and they were divine, crispy, battered not breaded and full of flavor. The burgers were made to order, juicy, hot and delicious. Drinks include craft options and the strawberry lemonade was spot on. The only downside of this place was a lack of seating but that was minimal given the goods.

    I have NO CLUE how this place got good reviews . Our food was literally inedible. Pics tell the bulk of the issues and we ended up throwing most of our food away. From bits and ends for fries to burned chicken. Burned buns. Strawberry lemonade tasted like sugar water. Absolutely DISGUSTING

    the front of the restaurant

    Harvey Bs has been on my Hamburger hit list for several years now. It meets all my criteria(supported by Yelp reviews) of an old-school, hole-in-the-wall, delicious burger value. Simply stated it's a 4-star experience given those parameters. This is old east Dallas at the edge of gentrification. But,the foofoo hasnt caught up yet so, id say this is still explorers' territory. Your kids and wife driving in with you from North Dallas probably aren't going to find the charm that you do. But let's get down to the burger business. The place has years of patina on it. The M and M vending machine hasn't been used in decades but its still sitting there(turned around so no one uses it). I like that its still there. The place has the usual ephemera for a genuine hole in the wall. Random signs pulled from a strip club, mailbox made into a bird house...etc It's small and id say mainly takeout. There are about 6 counter spaces looking out the front window. I sat here as to breathe the air, watch the clientele and catch the full experience. These places are disappearing as fast as an Ice Cube in the August heat and I want to visit as many as possible before they're extinct. The small kitchen behind the register with an old flat top,some fryolator etc. Just the basics you need to sling some cheeseburgers. I ordered a double meat cheeseburger all the way which meant 2 1/4 lb patties,lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles lettuce, and mustard. I ask if the french fries were frozen or fresh. He said fresh so I got an order. I read a few reviews as I waited on my food and a common comment from a substantial number was over cooked meat. Guess what,yes,my meat was overcooked and a little dry and not as much flavor as i thought it should have. That one fact kept them out of five star territory and almost dropped them to 3. I mean if you are a burger place bring it right? The fries where good but id opt for the onion rings next time. Why? Because on my way out I was tipping and thanking them and noticed 2 big delicious batches of rings going down. This is a place you aren't going to just notice and stop. In this part of town, you have to be headed there. Id say if you love hamburgers and are adventurous, check it out. I may give it another shot, if im in the area hungry.

We rolled in after our morning workout and the place was packed, which honestly just confirmed we were in the right place. The ladies at the counter were awesome. I asked a ton of questions, and they didn't rush me at all--they answered everything with patience and good vibes. They even ran out of my partner's favorite salad, but then replenished it and made sure we got the size we wanted. They literally caught us at checkout to hand it over. That's hospitality. The sandwiches have street names, which gives it that real small-community feel. I went with the marble pastrami and it hit the spot after a workout. We also grabbed some drinks--this place has a surprising amount of healthy options. Enough that we walked out with a few in hand and a mental list of more to try next time. You can order to go or eat inside, and honestly both are solid options. If you see an open seat, grab it quick. Bonus points: there's a flower shop connected to the deli, so of course I wandered over and picked up some beautiful flowers for her. Perfect way to end a great visit.

I ordered two sandwiches through the DoorDash app for pickup. The app clearly stated that the sandwiches came with chips and potato salad, which is why I chose that option instead of ordering a different special. When I arrived at the restaurant, I still had to wait in line before reaching the cashier. When I finally got to the counter, she handed me my sandwiches and then told me that I had ordered chips and potato salad but had not paid for them. I calmly explained that the app showed those items as included with the sandwich. Instead of resolving the situation professionally, she told me she needed to call the owner. She then had me step aside while she helped three other customers, leaving me waiting awkwardly off to the side. When the owner finally called her back, she spoke to him loudly (almost argumentatively) about me being there and "claiming" the sandwiches came with chips and potato salad. It was embarrassing because other customers could clearly hear what was happening. Ultimately, I was told the owner said the sandwiches did not come with those sides. At that point, I just took my sandwiches and left. The entire situation felt uncomfortable and unnecessary. If there was a mix-up with the app, that isn't the customer's fault. Good customer service would have been to honor what was displayed in the app and clarify the issue internally afterward. Instead, I left feeling frustrated and embarrassed. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had.
