Harvest Fried Chicken

We read an article on FaceBook about 7 hidden gems in your state and figured we should take a road trip so we drove about 45 minutes. The staff could not possibly have been friendlier. The side dishes were very good all way above average and the main event was the fried chicken. If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would it was that good and well worth the drive. We loved it

Harvest Fried Chicken is a small fried chicken joint, located in the Lisbon Center off of Route 94.The menu offers various piece meals of the fried, dinner options, meal deals (that come with a specific quantity with rolls and sides), bulk orders, and kid options.The hubs and I came here for an early lunch, and we had 1/2 chicken meal, that came with 2 legs and 2 thighs. For sides, we tried their potato wedges, their cole slaw, the potato salad, green beans, baked beans, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, and the macaroni salad.The fried chicken was pretty tasty, and, if you're lucky, you might get some from a batch that was freshly fried - otherwise, the chicken was still juicy and had great seasoning on the skin.The sides were forgettable, except for the mashed potatoes and gravy - loved that the potatoes were dense and thick, and the gravy was also delicious, with a similar consistency. We tried their sweet tea, but it had an off taste to it, water was definitely preferred.The staff here are friendly, and it seems to be a favorite spot for the locals. Plenty of tables inside for dining in.A large parking lot is available for the stores in the plaza.+fried chicken+mashed potatoes and gravy+friendly staff+located in the Lisbon Center+plenty of parking int he shared plaza lot

The new owners have definitely raised the bar on the menu I had the most delicious AND FILLING pulled pork meal with collard greens, green beans with bacon and onion, the pork and corn bread I'm so stuffed and it was DELICIOUS going back 200% the cook was super nice and the lady behind the counter was super nice and really helpful! Great people and great food, and the most decadent brownie ever! It's like fudge! You can tell they care about the customer and their business

We would never have found this place if it weren't for Yelp...and I kind of feel like I was led astray with this one.I appreciate good fried chicken, and not that this place was bad by any means, but it wasn't my favorite. I could appreciate how juicy and crispy it was; you could tell it came right from the fryer/pressure cooker to our table. But there was something in the spice blend that didn't do it for me. Combine this with mediocre sides (as mentioned by most other reviews) and the fact that the entire restaurant had that sticky floor/layer of oil on top of every surface thing going on, it just wasn't a great overall experience.I hate to hate on a local place but dare I say head to Royal Farms instead? Just saying.

We first tried this place a couple of years ago and finally had the chance to stop back when in the area hiking this afternoon. The chicken here is quite tasty but a little pricey for the sizes of the pieces (the legs were just a bit larger than most wings I've had) and most of the sides are not house made. I got the 16 piece with 3 large sides - cole slaw, macaroni salad and green beans. I did ask if the items I ordered were homemade and was told that the cole slaw and potato wedges were but nothing else but since my body was craving a vegetable I decided to go with the green beans and hoped that even if they did come out of a can that perhaps they had been "doctored" up a bit to give them a more southern taste - that was NOT the case. The coleslaw was really good, chopped fine the way hubby likes it; the macaroni salad was sweet the way I like but instead of being creamy it had the consistency of paste and I just couldn't eat more than a few bites. I was asked if I wanted to pay the upcharge to get the corn bread instead of the rolls that came with the meal, usually I prefer the dinner style rolls that come with a lot of chicken dinners, and in hindsight I probably should have paid the extra charge because the rolls were really dry, even with butter and jam I added at home, so these got put on the side to feed the birds. We also got an order of chicken livers for our dog which he totally enjoyed, then again he likes pretty much any part of the chicken. The biggest issue I have with this place that will keep me from returning is the fact that they add 4% to your check if you pay with a credit card and the only reason I know this is because when I was waiting for my order to be bagged up after paying I noticed a small sign taped to the counter explaining that policy - seems to me that if the cashier could ask if I wanted to pay extra to replace the cornbread for the rolls she could and SHOULD have mentioned this to me when I handed her my card because, even though I rarely have cash on me, I had more than enough to cover our check because I hadn't stopped by the bank to make a deposit yet. The place is filled with decorative chickens & roosters and they do have plenty of dine in seating not to mention bags of cold, fried chicken in the fridge for only $5.99 but this isn't somewhere I would make a point of coming back to, if I'm patronizing a local restaurant, I prefer one that cooks from scratch and that includes their sides not to mention doesn't charge me extra depending on how I choose to pay (it was hard to even discern if I was paying extra on top of the prices listed on the board or if I would receive a 4% discount if I paid with cash and now I will never know because there are other options in the area).

My wife and I love the fresh chimichongas. Just like Mexico. They have great homemade banana pudding and donuts.

(9/3/2016) Stopped by for a late lunch after a morning of fruit picking at Larriland Farm down the road. Conveniently located on Woodbine Rd. just on the other side of I-70. Harvest Chicken is an unassuming cafeteria-style place in the middle of a strip mall with a Food Lion and Dollar Tree. I got the 1/4 dark meat chicken dinner. The drumstick was room temp, but the thigh was piping hot, light crust, rather salty, darkly fried, meat was very juicy, and stuck to the bone. Sides were OK, mostly canned and boxed products, probably should've skipped them and just gotten more chicken. Also had a 1/2 lb. of fried livers. It's funny, I bet not a lot of people order livers, wherever I get them, you always get way more than what you order (like there's a fire sale or something). They fried them fresh for my order; the livers were very fresh and moist, nice crust, also very salty. Place was quiet when we were in there, just another family with 2 kids and the staff having lunch. Surfaces were pretty clean for a place where you are expected to eat greasy food with your fingers. Service was direct and efficient (and yes, reminded me of lunch ladies from back in school). I'd totally come by here again if out this way, but next time, will eat mor chikin.

Awesome service! The food is good! The chicken is moist! The sides like the mashed potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and green beans are great! The staff is super nice! The price is excellent! We've been coming here for a while and it is always promising to keep us full with some leftovers for later! 5/5!

Have eaten here several times over the years however the last two times were not a very pleasant experience chicken was dried out had been in a warmer too long the cornbread was the size of a quarter went up to the counter because there was some confusion on dinner I had ordered and the young lady behind the counter basically said the misunderstanding was on my part at that point I gave up I didn't even want to create a scene the food was stale the portions were small the chicken was dry I would not recommend eating here it's a waste of time and money sincerely Mark Bowie

I have had some great chicken here. Great sides, too. But I have also on occasion gotten pretty suspect food. Today for example, the fried gizzards had obviously been allowed to go bad and then washed with heavily chlorinated water to try to get the stink off. I waited for them so they wouldn't sit under the heat lamp getting overcooked, but when I got them hot out of the basket, they were overcooked. The cook must have been trying to cook the bad out of them. I got a whole fried chicken that was also overdone and with weird off flavors. The worst I have had there. Again, off tasting. Weird, as I have only had this kind of thing happen once before in the dozens of times I have patronized them. Many of those times the food has been very good. They know me. But to think they'd try to pull one over on anyone- least of all a regular customer - makes me sad for them. Something must not be right there. The sides? At times, very good. This time, awful. Plainly instant mashed potatoes, tasteless green beans, and freezer burnt cornbread. I wish I could give a better review. I liked the place. I liked the guys who run it. But after having them give me garbage, I've lost respect. I won't be back.
