We stopped there for lunch - two old Army buddies. My Battle had suffered a severe stroke years ago and is still not able to speak. The pretty young waitress and the manager (also a veteran) showed all the patience and care a disabled person could hope for. Its such a joy to meet really good hearted people. The food and service were outstanding. The atmosphere very pleasant and unique!

You can wash your clothes in a nice clean atmosphere. You pre load a card and then wash and dry with that pre paid card. The least amount to put on the card is 10.00. And while you wait, they have the best burgers and lights on the wall to see when your load is done

Great food, reasonable prices, and good portion sizes. Definitely a great place for some food. I havent used the laundromat, but its cool to know its there. The service was good, but it did take a bit, and I wish our server had checked in with us a little more.

I come here once a week to do laundry next door; the staff is remarkably delightful and considerate, especially Hailey whos very patient with and considerate to my anxiousness and her memory is amazing. The kitchen is talented and their menu consists of delicious comfort food; their craft beer list is extensive, too. The vibe inside is that of a classic diner with a modern twist, and on the wall is a light up chart to watch active washers/dryers complete their cycles so you can keep an eye on your laundry without leaving your plate. I recommend my out of town friends to this restaurant, its charmingly unique with all the familiarity of a mom and pop diner.

Drove all the way here thinking they were dog friendly like it says on their website and multiple other websites. However, they apparently changed their policy and DO NOT ALLOW DOGS ANYMORE. Such a shame. Even if you have an ESA they will not allow it. Will not be returning.

Checked to see if they allowed dogs and yes they do! The staff was refreshingly friendly, without being too much. The burger was great, loved the sourdough bun and the sweet potato fries. It was a chill atmosphere my pups loved hanging out in...while each eating their own cheeseburger patties. No food pics, only because my hands were a tad messy but it all looked great!

The service was outrageous! Ordered sweet tea and was given water. The waitress/cashier ignored my table till the point where I was in the process of leaving! Ordered Banger burger and fries, shook the ketchup before opening and got wet from the water pooled in the cap of the bottle. The worst experience ever!

Since the laundry mat is attached and owned by the same person they have it open to where you can drop Im your clothes to wash while you do work on your laptop or dine in right beside. We absolutely enjoyed it and would do it again if ever in the area. The burgers here were great too.

If you have laundry to do and not a whole lot of time to take your girlfriend on a date: solve both problems at once at Harveys. Great selection of beer. Chill atmosphere. Little buttons on the wall will tell you when to go swap your laundry into the dryer. Not a bad place to knock out some homework either. Highly recommended. Parking: Lots of parking available. Designated parking spots for loading laundry. Other spots open for all use.

Im always on the lookout for a unique hamburger joint and Harveys comes out in spades. A burger joint and a laundromat... wow! Excellent burgers and dogs and a nice craft beer selection to wash them down. Queso del hefe and the Chorizo burger are my go-to eats, but Ive never been disappointed across the board. Harveys a must-go when in College Station.

Would give it a 4.5 if I could. The place is filled with buts. The food is good, but the chicken was a hair too dry. The server was nice, but the food took a little too long. My sprite was nice, but I think the coke was mixed with root beer for some reason. The atmosphere is cool though, no buts about it.

Good food and it was really nice to be able to eat a burger while getting laundry done. Lots of machines available, and direct credit card use was nice - no left over quarters!

I wanted to go to a local place for our time in town. My family wasn t thrilled when I said we were eating lunch at a laundromat. But I trusted the reviews, and I wasn t disappointed. The burgers are so good - sweet thick soft bread with the perfect size patty grilled with crispy edges. The porkaholic cheese fries and club sandwich were also good. We sat on the patio with our dog who enjoyed attention from passersby. Good for my waistline that I don t live in CS.
