I came in for breakfast and left wishing I hadn't. The food was honestly hard to get through cold, poorly cooked, and lacking any real flavor. For a breakfast spot, that's a big miss. The staff made it worse. Service was rude, unorganized, and it felt like we were an inconvenience just for being there. No greeting, no check-ins, no urgency at all. On top of that, the restaurant itself was dirty. Tables weren't wiped down, floors looked neglected, and overall it just didn't feel clean or welcoming, which makes you question what's going on behind the scenes. There are way too many good breakfast places out there to waste your time here. I won't be back. read more

I had high expectations based on reading some of the reviews, but was disappointed in a few things...the food, the service, and how LOUD it is inside this place. I ordered the Brisket Hash and Eggs - it also comes with either toast or pancakes - I chose the pancakes, which actually was the best choice and best food I had. The coffee is also pretty good. Bold and HOT. The Brisket Hash is served in a smaller cast-iron dish on your plate. It's super dry. I think it's mixed with some hashbrowns and onions and some spices. But it was way too dry and didn't taste like smoked brisket, so if you were hoping for that taste of brisket, this isn't the right choice. It also comes with eggs and I had them over easy, other than still a little runny and not cooked through, they were okay. The pancakes were the best though. Super soft, comes with butter (on the side) plus syrup and a small tiny cup of applesauce (tasty). They had good flavor and was perfect. Someone at our table also ordered the Biscuit and Gravy. It's a super large flaky biscuit (way too dry) and some dark sausage gravy that tasted more like flour than sausage gravy. It was definitely thick, but the flavor was off. We did not finish it. Others at our table got just eggs, bacon and toast. Something you can make at home anyway, so it's hard to mess it up honestly. And one other person ordered the greek salad. The dressing comes ON the salad already, and it felt like they could have served some extra on the side. Just wasn't enough. Plus the salad was served on a plate, not in a bowl, so salad and toppings fell off onto the table. Not the prettiest presentation. In fact, the theme of this place is - everything is served on a separate dish, so good luck finding space on your table. Plus I feel the prices are way higher than they should be for the portion size and quality of food. The other issue here is that this place is LOUD. Someone in our group uses hearing aids and they had to turn them down because it was way too loud. we could hardly have a normal conversation and there were just five of us at a long table. The chairs are another issue I feel. As you scoot in and away from the table, it feels like the legs are going to break from underneath you at any point. They are wobbly, and very uncomfortable. So, in closing, I wanted to LOVE this place, but it's just an overpriced brunch location with a large two-sided menu of bland food with the loudest rooms imaginable. read more

Easter Sunday and only day off, while traveling for work. So I decided to find somewhere good to eat for brunch. Looking through Yelp. And I'd decided to give this place a try. It's a nice brunch spot, that seems to be very properly in the Neighborhood. The service was very friendly and helpful. But to my liking. The food was not as flavorful as I would hope. The French toast was great. But the vegetable skillet lacked a lot of flavor. To be honest, it was pretty bland. Still enjoyed the restaurant. And hopefully on my next visit, it will be better. read more

Late Review I went here about a year ago and it is so nice inside. Perfect brunch spot to go with your family (saw my share of Gen X friend gatherings as well). The food was very flavorful & filling! After I left, an unbuckle was needed. Now I don't remember exactly what I got but I think it was on special. I've been back once and I got the Chill-A-Killa (not pictured) which was great too. Both times I've been, the service was great. We were checked on always right on time & the servers I've had are experienced/trained well. As someone who has worked in the industry, that's always a plus. 8/10 read more

The ambience of this restaurant was elegant and French like. Very clean establishment. The hosts were very nice. Their outdoor seating area is very organized and clean with nice shade. My favorite meal was the pancakes they were delicious. I ate them before I could even take a picture of them. The syrup was good as well. My mom and sister ordered the other two dishes. The biscuit skillet my sister had, she said it was good. The biscuit was nice and fluffy. You do get a large portion and it can be split between two people. My mom got the eggs and hashbrowns that could be split amongst two people as well. The portion sizes here are pretty big. Next time I come, I will be ordering more pancakes. read more

Food was fantastic, service was very good but brunch with my family was fabulous Great menu with healthy food

I've been to this location a few times. My most recent experience was a weekend breakfast around 9:30 AM. We were seated in the back room, which is an extra loud space (it looks like they have some sound absorption panels on the wall, but they're not doing enough), and the restaurant was playing loud "club" music. The seats were a bit too close together, and the noise made it a rather unenjoyable experience. I ordered the 50/Fifty, but it had a bitterness to it that I didn't enjoy (maybe from the pesto?). I ended up swapping plates with my husband who had ordered the Super Fungi Omelet. The side of pancakes was the best part. They don't offer any specialty coffee, which is a bit of a surprise with the vibe they seem to be going for. The service was fine. I should also note that they charge a credit card fee, and were one of the first restaurants I noticed that started doing that a few years ago. read more

Great food and the menu has a large number of good choices. Everyone at our table enjoyed the meal. Service is lacking. Hostess seemed to be preoccupied and argued with another employee. She told us they were trying to figure out where to seat our table of 5 since they are "not allowed to push tables together". They did for us and another large table after us. Many rules in the menu including a gratuity added for parties if 4 or more (see picture). This along with the hostess sharing the rules she follows made us feel like being the patron if the restaurant is an inconvenience for the business. Also the music is too loud. read more

Service was great. Food came so fast and the waiter kept coming up to us and checking in so much I almost was like ok wait is she flirting with me? Jk I'm just used to bad service hahaha. No but the vibe in there is cozy like typical breakfast diner type place but with outside seating and more space. The food was excellent bro, honestly some of the best pancakes I've ever had in my life. Literally not joking. Thin but melted in your mouth and so buttery and flaky with crispy edges. Chefs kiss I got the chicken and biscuits. Literally the best biscuits and sausage gravy I've ever had in my life. I'm writing this review as I eat my leftovers as we speak. My only complaint with most places that do a chicken and waffles or fried chicken breakfast dish is that the chicken often times isn't seasoned well and that was the case here. Granted, there's this tasty gravy for the chicken, but I would prefer it can stand alone tasty as well. Either way, def come here. Prices are great too. Super affordable. read more

Came here on a random Saturday and there is no reservation possible it is first come first serve. Luckily there was no line, but there were a lot of people here and I found out the place was actually very sprawling. That also includes a small outdoor patio. Parking is shared as this is in a smaller strip mall, but parking can be found. The menu is unique yet also has a lot of the breakfast and brunch staples that you would normally expect. There are also some unique pieces like the chorizo or the selection of vegetables that they put into the mix. The drinks and the juices are also a formidable menu to be able to read and choose from. The ambience is super cute looking very with a modern twist with an appreciation of wood and fixtures. I would definitely come back here again as service was quick. The food was definitely a fair portion for the price with unique flavors. Nothing disappointed it was odd that the pancakes were a little flat normally like fluffy pancakes however they were still tasty. Would come back. read more

Munster is finally entering its millennial-grey core era. Everything about the Harvest Room says "they almost understood the assignment." The decor is so super minimalist that the building looks like they ran out of money after doing the bar and the custom mirrors. The host stand gives Ikea. Don't sleep on the Bloody Mary here, it is absolutely divine and can also be made virgin. I had the crab cakes benedict and once again, it was so close to being good. The crabcakes themselves were cold and mushy and had an off-taste of bell pepper. Wet, cooked tomato and moist avocado between the cake and the English muffin made sure to take any crunchiness out of the outside of the cake or the toasted bread. The hollandaise was a vibrant, fake yellow-looking color and seemed very "box mix" and not made in-house. Maybe it was an off day? I can't be sure, but I would definitely not order this $22 kind-of-not great meal again. The service is very kind and made up for the meal. My server was very attentive and a great conversationalist. The lunch menus on the website look like they were scanned in through a potato because they are not clear like the breakfast menus. The chef's name is also spelled wrong on the career page listings. read more

An odd experience for an old man used to a different "vibe." The place is open and airy, the decor nothing special. The waitstaff is best experienced in bright sunlight as their dress and manner could be troubling in dark light. Their attitude needs improvement in any light. As their work is clearly perceived as beneath them. The food represents the definition of poor value for money as it was ordinary in presentation and taste and inordinately expensive for what it was. I would like to describe it in more detail, but it was not memorable. Breakfast not as good tasting as McDonald's nor as bountiful as most any other placed you have ever been. read more

Food was good. A little loud but hey it's a restaurant, right? Wanted to try something new for breakfast, wasn't disappointed.

They have delicious food, great service, and a nice location. They are always crowded which is also a good sign.

Came with a sizable crowd of people and they were able to accommodate us all. Getting us situated and getting drinks and orders must've been exhausting but they did it. The food was delicious and some were really pretty. And overall it felt so warm and inviting to eat there. read more

Not impressed with the service, the food was "meh", and the ambiance was chaotic for 9am. Server wasn't too pleasant during the meal, and then when we were told we had an "hour and a half time policy" and had to leave, I definitely wasn't impressed. The food looked better on the menu than it actually tasted in my opinion. For the price, definitely could improve on the flavor more! Also, trying to fit a ton of people around the bar area was NOT IT. The restaurant seems a lot bigger and all the tables were being placed near the bar, which is very very tiny and crowded. Multiple times servers would pass by and my friend would get bumped in the back or they would swing the tray and almost hit one of us in the face. For a better experience, maybe space out the tables better? No one wants to leave a restaurant feeling beat up! read more

Always busy and quality is very good. Cannot go wrong coming here or any of their other locations for a very fresh and tasty breakfast. Enjoy the omelette and fresh fruit. read more

This place is overrated. I judge a breakfast restaurant by the quality of their bacon. They definitely don't use Oscar Meyer. Very poor quality bacon. We asked to substitute some items but weren't told there would be an upcharge. Always inform customers so they can decide if they want to substitute. We were even charged extra for items served on the side. A tip is based on service. Our service was bad thus the tip was small. The server ran out the restaurant trying to give the tip back. That's tacky. If you want a better tip then give better service. This restaurant also charges you for using your credit card. Credit card fees for a restaurant is part of having a business. Don't pass it on to the customer. Won't be back, too many other better restaurants in the area. With better food, service, and less unwanted fees! read more

This place used to be a 5 star restaurant but within the last two and half years it has been very lackluster. It smells like "BADUSSY". Booty,dick and p#ssy I've seen them allow patrons come in there and neck on each other like they need to go to a hotel instead read more

When I visit NWI, I try to stop by Harvest Room because I miss their food. Atmosphere is still the same and the food is just as delicious. My favorite thing to order is the Bravocado toast. It is sweet, tangy, crunchy, and I love the salt that tops it off. A couple of years ago, I had my small wedding reception (during COVID) at Harvest Room! The owners were so helpful and responsive to all of my questions. It's a cozy place to have a small get together and we got to have the whole restaurant to ourselves. I've never had an issue with service. The waiters/waitresses have always been helpful. Lastly, their cocktails are amazing!! It's seasonal but if you ever see the pear whiskey sour, you should definitely try it. The booty collins is also a great choice (and year round), but something about the pear whiskey sour is to die for. read more

I also noticed a bar as we were leaving so I bet they have some awesome drinks as well. read more

Breakfast this morning was very lackluster. The stars in this meal were the coffee and the biscuit. I love corned beef hash and this restaurant had brisket hash. It was TERRIBLE!!! I may have seen 2 or 3 slivers of brisket and the potatoes were primarily crunchy. The cheese eggs were room temp and the pancakes weren't fluffy. Is like they turned to sawdust in your mouth. I also had a half order of biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were buttery and perfect. The gravy tasted a lot better than it looked. I packed up the eggs and biscuits and headed to one of my more frequented breakfast places, ordered a side of corned beef hash and heading home to try to make sense of this breakfast. I will add that I chose this place because I've never heard a bad review. read more

I want to think of myself as somewhat of a crab cake connoisseur, this is one of the most delicious crab cakes I've had, it was full of crab! Very few fillers yet still held its shape. It came with a small side salad of I think arugula and sweet cherry tomatoes topped with cured onions, soooo yummy!! The metropolitan was soft, soft undertones and delicious, just the perfect drink! I also had the banger bravas and that was good read more

Thee best breakfast well maybe second in that area , Love the morale and the food is top tier ,, big ups to the chef For thee most part ....

To say this restaurant is uncomfortably unpleasant because of the noise is an understatement. I've dined here a few times as the guest of friends and had a difficult out time conducting a conversation each time. Regarding the food, I don't ask much of a restaurant but if one is offering crudités, the vegetables must be fresh. That was not the case with my order. The red peppers were well past their prime. On top of that, only two vegetables were served. The wait staff hustles, perhaps a bit too much. On busy mornings, I've the feeling that I'm in their way. read more

Service gets a 2. We waited about 15 minutes to place our order after our drinks came. Waitress was in the area and just not acknowledging us. Food came quickly and she offered refills which came when the food was finished. Food was very nice, creative presentation and nice and hot. I appreciated the well toasted English muffin. However, another long time waiting on the check. We were stopping on our way to Indianapolis and it wound up being a super long detour. read more

Food was great. Server was pleasant until she told us there was an hour and a half limit that we were allowed to sit at the table (we were there ~1 hr 45 mins, had paid the bill, and were wrapping up our conversation). Called the restaurant to check on this policy later in the afternoon and they said they didn't have a time limit policy. I didn't find it online either. To be blunt, she was annoyed. I know that servers make more money the faster they turn over tables, but that was rude. We had tipped 20% on a large bill (included specialty drinks and an appetizer as well) and we weren't a table that required much extra time or attention. read more

What a fantastic experience! The greeter asked if anyone in the party needed a vegan or gluten-free menu. She grabbed the vegan menu and escorted us to our seats. The server came over and gave a recommendation from the options that I was considering. The food and the drink brought a smile to my face and made my belly sing. It was good and flavorful. The atmosphere is relaxed and bright. They also have a patio. The server had a great sense of humor. It's a definite place I will revisit when I am in the area. read more

This spot has a nice bar area, but the dining room side is reminiscent of an upscale diner. The service was fine...not special but checked all the basics. I had the hash and eggs. The eggs were not very good. They were much to airy and devoid of seasoning. They seemed to be faux eggs. The hash mix was solid and was presented nicely in a mini skillet. I also tried the monkey bread. It was nice and warm and quite a nice sized roll! I would have liked a few more pecans but overall it was a good buy. Now if only they can fix those eggs! read more

Food is fresh, farm to table. Service was great. I have recommended this place to others.

My partner and I arrived around 9 on a Sunday morning and were seated quickly. They have a cute little patio out front with plants that provide some shade for the morning sun, but we opted to eat inside. Our waitress was polite and prompt. Food came out quickly after placing our order. I was a bit skeptical because the prices are higher than my standard Region breakfast spot and my dish appeared smaller than skillets elsewhere, but the bangers & bravas skillet was incredibly filling and came with a side of pancakes. Lasted me three meals! My only gripe is that the whole dish was a bit greasy. Chorizo is naturally fatty, but they could have drained off the excess grease. My partner ordered the peach cobbler French toast and was also full after eating only half of his meal. Not a bad spot for an upscale weekend brunch! read more

Doggone it! I so wanted to leave a five star review but in all good conscience I can't. The service was five star. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and attentive. The atmosphere is nice and roomy. The ceilings are very high and they use space generously for their guests. It has a nice retro 30's-40's vibe that I enjoyed. I ordered the steak and eggs. I was immediately happy when I saw that the whites for my sunny side up eggs were cooked thoroughly and not runny at all. You may be surprised how rare that is. -Quick side note- the seasoning was left to me. The toast was plain but delivered with jam and butter. The eggs and steak came unseasoned with salt and pepper shakers provided. Unfortunately my steak came well done when I ordered medium rare. They were happy to remake the steak (which was perfect on the remake) and rushed it for me. Let's call my overall experience 4 1/2 stars. I would recommend this establishment. And I will return. read more

I try very hard to never write a negative review. However, the service I had was sad. I grew up in this area all of my life. Know the restaurants very well in and out. Have moved out of state several times. I am no stranger to different cuisines and different dining practices. I had a colleague meeting me for lunch. We got there around 2:35. I fully knew the restaurant was closing at 3 o'clock. However, even though it was a pet peeve of mine to show up that late, we still went to have a very quick bite. he had driven nine hours from the East Coast and was hungry and wanted to get something to eat. So I suggested the harvest room. We were told upon arriving that the kitchen was closed, but that they could put our order in very quickly. We knew what we wanted so we ordered immediately. Although we received food, I couldn't order anything other than water. nor was I ever asked. The staff was rushing around us, trying to close up the restaurant. Chairs were put on tables all around us as to make us very uncomfortable while we were there. It was as if the staff wanted to exit at 3:02 PM. Now, people who have worked in food service most of their lives, understand that restaurants typically don't do this. They don't make their patrons uncomfortable. And they certainly don't try to run out the door with the people dining. This was very uncomfortable and we were both royally pissed off. Both of us own businesses where we manage clientele on a daily basis. I would say, thanks for putting our order in? But it was just not worth feeling like we were putting them out. I won't be back here again. read more
