Me and my partner stopped in here on the way home from staying in Paignton, would really recommend! Great portion sizes for the value of money. Staff are really friendly, my partner asked for scrambled egg instead of fried and they swapped it no issues. Would come in here again :) I had the westcoast breakfast and my partner had the Americana
Well this is a find. Drive past often but have never gone in. Tried their breakfasts and they are noteworthy. Even the child's (U12's) at £6.45 was big enough for an adult and the "Harley's Big One" at £11.95 for 3 sausages, 3 bacon, 2 fried bread, etc was so filling and en par with Wetherspoon for value - we rolled out of there. Popular with workmen (burgers) and families and people looking for value, good portions and good American choices. Lots of tables, feels welcoming with great 60s deco. Pool table (£1), licensed bar, TV screens showing sport downstairs - quiet, clean and worth a visit.
Nice food.. massive amount can't complain u definitely get your more than your money's worth. Very polite staff. Had a lovely time. I recommend and would revisit if ever in area again. Thank you
A Gem in Paignton – Harleys Hits the Spot! We had such a lovely time at Harleys in Paignton. The staff were amazing—especially Elle, who made us feel so welcome and looked after us with genuine warmth. The food was delicious, with generous portions and great value for money. My daughters couldn’t get enough of the Harleys starter platter, and the mac 'n' cheese was a big hit too! It’s rare to find a place that gets everything right, but Harleys truly did. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town.
Really enjoyed Harley’s American Diner in Paignton! I had the Americana pancakes with sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, hash browns and maple syrup for £9.95 – filling and great value. My partner had the full English with 3 of everything for £11.95 – huge portions and tasty. Soft drinks are reasonably priced (£3.50 for a large) and the whole place has a fun American theme with different areas decorated from Elvis to Michael Jackson. There’s even a sports bar downstairs with 7 TVs and darts. Friendly staff, good food, and a great atmosphere – we’ll definitely be back!
Very good food and plenty of it. The menu is a wild card of different dishes so there is something for everyone. A good selection of veggie dishes as well. Although a little expensive it seems worth the expense. One very slight niggle - nit picking really- not all the food arrived at the table at the same time. This was especially with the sweet. The staff are lovely and very friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit.
Me and my partner absolutely love this restaurant! We went there 3 weeks ago for a birthday meal and were so impressed with how amazing the food was! The quality of the food was amazing, service was amazing and the portions were out of this world! So worth the price! We even came back a week later driving from Bristol to Paignton with our friends to show them how amazing this place is!
We were looking forward to Harvey's based upon visits to other American-style restaurants and diners. There is bags of parking up the slope and behind the restaurant. Down the ramp and into the restaurant and there's a large bar ahead. There are a few areas to choose your table in. You pay before you eat. There are areas with US themed memorabilia but I felt that more could be done. The menu is large and extensive and the bar is as well stocked as any (American) restaurant. There's also Mexican food here and Italian pasta dishes. Prices are very attractive here, too. The food was pleasant enough lots of fries, but American's love their garnish (which wasn't there) and loads of slaw (we had small servings) and general excessive portions. Our main server was very friendly and helpful I may have to go again to confirm my thoughts but overall I didn't feel I'd been to an American restaurant/diner.
