ABOUT HARVEY'S

You bet! We’ve been proudly 100% Canadian since 1959. Over six decades later, we’re still serving up custom, flame-grilled goodness to communities right across the country. Learn more about us here.

It all started back in 1959 when Richard Mauran wanted to create a quality fast-food burger chain. He was flipping through the Toronto Telegram and found a dealership that was closing down on Danforth Ave in Toronto, with the sign up for grabs. This dealership was called “Harvey's”. Mauran picked up the sign and installed it on the outside of his restaurant. With that, the first-of-its-kind Canadian burger chain focusing on customization was born.

Harvey's is a proud division of Recipe Unlimited Corporation, one of Canada's leading restaurant companies. Being part of the Recipe family allows us to maintain our deep Canadian roots while delivering the quality and service our guests expect across the country.

OUR BURGERS & MENU

Our Angus burger is made using Angus beef raised without the use of added hormones, steroids or antibiotics. The Original burger is made with beef and a proprietary blend of seasoning and spices.

Our Angus Burger is a thicker patty made from premium Angus beef raised without added hormones, steroids, or antibiotics. Our iconic Original Burger features 100% beef mixed with our secret blend of signature seasonings. View our full menu here.

We sure do! Our Veggie Burger is a fan favourite. We cook it on a dedicated section of our grill to keep things separate, however, there is a possibility of cross-contamination with animal-based products.

Can’t decide between fries and onion rings? You don’t have to! Frings® are a Harvey’s classic, a side-by-side mix of our crispy, golden fries and thick-cut onion rings.

Yes, we offer a dedicated Kids Menu featuring favorites like the Kids Burger, Chicken Strips, and Hot Dogs, all served with a side, a drink, and an activity. It's the perfect way to feed the little "Burger Bosses" in your family.

Our Angus patty is made with high-quality Angus beef raised without added hormones, steroids, or antibiotics. It gets flame-grilled for maximum flavour, before getting topped just the way you like it.

Every Harvey's burger is flame-grilled to perfection on our open-fire broiler. This signature "charcoal-grilled" method is a core part of our brand heritage, ensuring each patty has that authentic, smoky backyard BBQ flavor that has made us famous since 1959.

POUTINE

Only the ultimate Canadian classic! A true poutine needs three things: crispy golden fries, squeaky cheese curds, and hot, savoury gravy to melt it all together. At Harvey's, we take pride in serving this national favorite using high-quality Canadian potatoes.

Our signature poutine gravy is made from a flavorful blend of seasonings designed to complement our fries and cheese curds. It is a vegetarian-friendly recipe, ensuring that more guests can enjoy the classic Harvey's poutine experience.

We use cheese curds made with 100% Canadian dairy in our poutine. These curds provide the perfect "squeak" and texture, standing up to the heat of our savory gravy for the ultimate poutine experience.

The classic Harvey's Poutine features our famous crispy fries, authentic cheese curds, and vegetarian gravy. Craving a twist? Try one of our specialty poutines, like Buffalo Chicken or Pickle Poutine!

Our poutines are made with vegetarian gravy. However, because our fries share cooking equipment with other menu items, there is always a chance of cross-contamination in our kitchens.

HARV SAUCE

Don't you know that a great chef never reveals their secrets? All we can tell you is it's a perfect blend of smokey, sweet and tangy flavours. Allergy Note: Harv Sauce contains eggs, soy, and mustard. If you have specific dietary concerns, feel free to reach out to us!

It’s a little smoky, a little sweet, a little tangy, and 100% delicious. We crafted it specifically to bring out the absolute best flavour in our Angus and Original burgers.

DIETARY, ALLERGENS & NUTRITION

Our signature gravy is 100% vegetarian. Please note that fries are prepared using shared fryer equipment, so there is a risk of cross contamination with animal-based products.

Currently, we do not offer a gluten-free bun.

Full nutritional information or allergens is available here.

While our poutine is made with vegetarian gravy, it is not considered gluten-free. Both the gravy and the fries are prepared in an environment with shared equipment where cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients is possible.
