McCarthy’s Harp and Habit Reviews
Surprised they were empty on a Saturday night. Received our meal and understand why. We try to support local businesses but it was horrible and won't return.
Our server was great, very kind and friendly. The food? Definitely subpar.The chicken parm sandwich was made with sauce that looked like it had been sitting in a pot for 3 days and tasted awful. So bad that we had to send it back. The burgers are just ok. Unfortunately we won’t be back.
Excellent wings at this spot! ☘️
