This past Sunday, Harvey’s was offering a free original burger to all customers from 1030am-3pm.
Eating a burger for breakfast and before my dodgeball playoffs isn’t the smartest thing to do, but how can you turn down FREE?! It would be a crime not to have gone for one..or two (if I could have!).
Since my parents needed to get stuff at Home Depot, we arrived just after 1030. All the Harvey’s in the Lower Mainland are in Home Depots, except for the YVR food court. Why this is, I have no idea. It sure makes it unique compared to the other fast food burger options. Good thing we arrived early, because by the time we were waiting for our burgers to be made, a line up had already formed. By the time we finished and left an hour later, it was to the sliding door, probably a 15-20min wait.
Have you ever noticed that when you are getting something for free, you feel inclined to order something, be it a drink, fries, or an add-on, just to show that you’re not a cheap ass? If I was going by myself, I would have just gotten the burger and left, but since it was sort of breakfast, my mom got some coffee and fries/onion rings.
Doesn’t this bun look almost too perfect?
The burger was good, but I saw that they had a lot of them already pre-grilled, just waiting for the rush. The only reason for the lineup was the three staff members working, plus the fact that Harvey’s does their toppings fresh, however you want.
