Harvard - Rockford

We went on Sunday I had everything you could eat fish and it was delicious and our waitress was very friendly.

We have been coming frequently for quite a few years, and typically have very good service and the best broasted chicken around.Today, we waited over 20 minutes to be seated and we were the only ones waiting. No one acknowledged us until we approached the bartender to ask if we could sit down and were told they would be with us soon. It was around 2 PM on a Saturday. We waited another 30 minutes before our order was taken. Seemed to be a lot of confusion with the iPads they take the orders on. Had to ask multiple times for a second beer and our food was overdone (baskets) and clearly cooked in old oil. Did notice an employee arrive to get their check and they were readily served shots while the bartender did pull-tabs with them.Waited another 25 minutes to get our check. Hoping this was just an off day and will give it another try, once we get past the bad taste left from our food.

Owner is rude. Nothing like when her dad owned it. She's running it into the ground!

Off the 'beaten path ' Harvard Tavern was recommended by friends so, let 's give it a try! Upon arrival we find the parking lot is quite full at 5:00pm on a Monday.... must be good... where 's the door? As we entered (after finding the correct door) it was apparent we were not the 'regulars ' as every head turned to look at us upon entry... no biggie... The atmosphere soon turned to very 'welcoming ' .... Between us we had the Broasted chicken yummo! French Dip enough for 3 meals! and a fish basket. All the food was very good!

Best Bluegills in the area, NIE again on a Friday night!
