    The Larger Croaker Plate
    Steve B.

    So I pass this lil Seafood joint on the way home every weekday and I have never stopped in to check it out. Now the place is not eye candy but the owner of this place can most definitely cook some fish. I order the large croaker plate and I can assure you that is exactly what it was. Two decent size croakers cooked whole. I am not a fan of eating bony fish but this was mot definitely a pleasant surprise. He threw in a filet of whiting's for me to try as well which was absolutely delicious. The staff was very pleasant to deal with and answered questions that I presented in an effort to satisfy my taste palate. Now the one negative had to be the coleslaw, it needed a lil something more and the fries could've been a lil more crispier with a lil seasoning. Over all, I can most definitely say that I will be returning to this establishment.

    Love this place. Great price and portion sizes. Food is fantastic! Always friendly service. The girls who work here are efficient and know their stuff. It's easy to miss when you're driving by. And it's definitely not fancy inside, but always worth a visit.

    Hardly any info on yelp, but this place is a hidden gem! The portions were huge and tasty. You can get a two-part entrée with two sides for around $12; we tried catfish and deviled crab (served in crab shells) with a choice of two sides. We chose potato salad and okra. That would have been enough food for two people. But I also got separate orders of jalapeño poppers and okra, both were a little underseasoned but the quantities were jaw-dropping! Definitely a good find.

    Shrimp, sweet potato fries and fried green beans.

    Loved it! Fried catfish with hush puppies and fries. Staff was very friendly, too, making this a great dinner for "visitors from the north".

    Hush puppies are fabulous. The fish is delicious and I love the shrimp. They have okra, potato salad and slaw. Can't go wrong

    I found the breading on both the flounder and the hush puppies was light and slightly sweet.

    I decided to check out Harvey johns steakhouse in angier on Wednesday, and the service was amazing…read moreour server Amy was so kind and she got us everything we needed and she also made sure our cups never were empty. Brayden was amazing he was so attentive and got us everything we asked for. I got the crab stuffed shrimp as a appetizer and i will get it again it was so flavorful, for the main course me and my husband got the sirloin deal and it was amazing for the price and what we got. we defiently will be coming back every week. if your looking for a good steakhouse locally come to Harvey johns steakhouse.

    My parents recently moved to the area, and one thing we all agree on is a love for a great steak…read more So when they heard about Harvey John's--and their $45 Tuesday prime rib special--they tried it and loved and brought me while I was visiting. We made a rookie mistake: no reservation. Day before Christmas Eve. The only table available was by the door, which, for us, is a hard no. It was already chilly outside, and sitting by the door means constant drafts, tense shoulders, and food cooling faster with every opening. Not ideal, especially when you're settling in for a proper steak dinner. To their credit, the hostess tried everything--even showing us the reservation layout for the evening. The owner came over personally, and in the end, our options were simple: take the door table or come back at 7:30 pm when more tables would open. We were hungry, but we chose comfort over impatience. My dad left his number just in case a table opened sooner. We went home, had light snacks, and--surprise--got a call at 6:55 pm. Not only was a table available, it was a booth. That alone told me everything I needed to know about how they run this place. Stellar Client Care. When we returned, the owner John Linderman,met us at the door--warm, apologetic, and genuinely appreciative that we came back. The entire staff operates like a well-oiled team, with hospitality that feels intentional rather than performative. It's been a good while since I experienced an owner manager stop by every table to check in. A gesture from better dining times. Now, the food. We ordered: * Stuffed Shrimp with crab meat * Sausage bombs * Prime rib * A tomahawk ribeye to split I don't know if Harvey John's is officially farm-to-table, but the steak tasted incredibly clean--like actual beef. As a native New Yorker living in Los Angeles, I've eaten at many top-tier steakhouses--BOA, Ruth's Chris, Musso & Frank, Nick & Stef's, Steak 48--and I can confidently say this tomahawk was more flavorful and tasted fresher than all of them. Who knew a small-town North Carolina steakhouse would deliver a truly high-end experience? I'm no chef, but I do have a refined palate, and this meal was memorable. Honestly? If Michelin ever looks this way, they should take note. It's comforting to know you can leave one of the biggest food cities in the world and still find a steakhouse worthy of becoming a new regular favorite. Pro tip: Make a reservation--just to be safe. Cheers to Harvey John's.
