There was only three people in the bar. Went on a Monday before 4th of July 2024. I did hear they have karaoke on the weekend so hopefully I'll be able to check that out very soon. If you have an opportunity I would definitely check out Cuzin's.”

The 0wner, Tommy is usually hanging around and is friendly and accommodating. Sometimes due to allergies I have to alter the menu a little and he doesn’t hesitate to switch things around a little… Do yourself a favor… stop in for a great meal and enjoy a friendly atmosphere.”

“A nightclub in the middle of Harvey. And...it...was....bumpin!!!! On a Thursday!!! Just wow!!! The bar inside is fairly small but well appointed. Since it s summer? They had 3 huge tents...and a great sou d system. It was not only loud? But clear. You could hear the music clearly and the lyrics were clearly discernable from several blocks out. Wow Smittys!!! You are winning!!! The security was also excellent. With the sidewalks all blocked off......with horses and tape and rope. Done well. Bumpin in Harvey!!! If u want a black owned nightclub? With great music? Atmosphere? Vibe? With young AND grown people? You ve found it!!!! I only gave the food the rating I did because I didn't have any. When I do? I ll add to the review. But? DO GO!!!! On Thursdays!!! You ll b happy you did!!!!”
