I've had the pleasure of dining at Harvey's Smokehouse in Jerusalem, Israel, both at its original location on Shim'on Ben Shatakh Street and its current home on Jaffa Street. Here's a detailed account of my experiences and what you can expect from this popular eatery.

 

Originally, Harvey's Smokehouse made its mark in Jerusalem on Shim'on Ben Shatakh Street. Known for its unique menu of American BBQ in the heart of Jerusalem, it quickly became a go-to spot for both locals and tourists. Eventually, the restaurant moved to a new location on Jaffa Street. This move brought a change in ambience, but the quality of food and service remained consistently high.

At Harvey's, the menu is a carnivore's delight. They offer a delightful range of Southern American BBQ dishes. It begins with appetizers like Texas BBQ Nachos, Burnt Ends, and Rib Eye Riblets, along with a selection of salads including Harvey's Smokehouse Salad and Caesar Salad. The main attraction is their smoked meats, including options like 14 Hour Smoked Beef Brisket, 12 Hour Smoked New York Style Pastrami, and 18 Hour Smoked Pulled Beef Shoulder.


Guests can build their personal BBQ platters or choose from smokehouse mains and handcrafted sandwiches like Harvey's Texas Beef Dip and American Choripan. Side dishes include house fries, yam fries, and onion rings, among others. The menu also offers a variety of drinks, including craft beers, cocktails, wines, and soft drinks.

 

At Harvey's Smokehouse, guests have the option to dine either inside or outside the restaurant. I’ve enjoyed both options. The indoor space offers a cozy and chic atmosphere, ideal for smaller groups or intimate dining. For those who prefer dining al fresco, the restaurant features a picturesque outdoor terrace. This outdoor area is especially popular in the summer months, providing a pleasant setting for enjoying their Southern American BBQ dishes in a more open environment.
