Me and my wife ordered the ‘Chicken Supreme’ which sounded like a standout dish from the menu - hence both of us ordering. Chargrilled chicken it said - it was oven cooked or boiled, it was tender - but bland, and not chargrilled or even just grilled. Mashed potatoes it said - it was unmistakably instant mash from a packet, but not any effort to disguise the fact with butter or seasoning. Peppercorn sauce, could also have come from a packet, but this is debatable. The vegetables were ok but you couldn’t call them restaurant standard, and could have come from any frozen veggie packets you could buy at a corner shop. It was all lovingly thrown on a plate, and presented to our bewildered faces. We finished the meal as we were really hungry, but the best we can say about it was that it was an adequate TV dinner that happened to cost us £15 each.
To top it all off, we had to sit around for about 20 minutes to try and pay the above inflated bill - but no-one seemed to want our money. In the end I went up to the bar to ask, and the waitress serving us had gone home without telling anyone to sort out our bill for her!
On the plus side, as we are staying in a B&B currently, we had a table to sit at, cutlery that wasn’t plastic, plates, tables and chairs and it wasn’t far from where we are staying. Beyond that, we’re struggling to be positive about the experience. Maybe the rest of the food is amazing - we have no idea - but we don’t want to find out! Avoid the chicken ‘supreme’ at...
Read moreThis was my first ever visit to Harty's at Fourways, and only because I'd been given vouchers as a gift. However, although I hadn't heard any good or bad reports about it I was definitely pleasantly surprised. The restaurant seemed quite busy yet not crowded, everyone had plenty of room whilst still being cosy and privacy wasn't an issue. Staff were very nice, efficient, service was excellent. Our meals arrived much quicker than expected too and were delicious, could not fault in any way at all! Our vouchers more or less paid for the full meal and drinks but noted the prices which are certainly good value with many "meal deal" options on offer. However that said, I have given this review four stars ( four and a half would be more accurate) only because of the decor which is looking a wee bit tired and would benefit from a freshen up but don't be put off as it isn't at all bad and the layout is good. To summarize, I /we definitely recommend and will not hesitate to use more frequently! Looking forward to the next...
Read moreJust spent over an hour in this place tonight and can honestly say won't be back. I was looking forward to my dinner tonight as I had been before but it was a couple of years back. I had ordered the breaded chicken burger at a cost of £14.95. I was totally disappointed when it arrived. It was a shop bought frozen chicken burger with a measly bit of lettuce and tomato on top within a bun, along with chips. Honestly this establishment wants to go to Dalziel park Hotel or even Tony Macs where the chicken is actually a chicken fillet breaded (not shop bought frozen) and has twice the amount of salad and sides compared to this. My husband ordered the chilli garlic chicken and was still starving after we left. I would have flagged this up if we would have been asked if our food was okay before we left but we were not asked. Not even when asked for our bill. Honestly the burgers you would order in a wetherspoons would be better than this. £50 down the drain. Honestly if you want good food...
