Buying food from Harrow’s is an experience we highly recommend. The quality and taste of the food blew us away. They definitely make the most delicious chicken pies any of us have had. Not only is the food award-winning and loved by many, but the owners and employees are all friendly, eager to help and are satisfying tastebuds near and far. We highly recommend stopping by and stocking up on delicious food.

There’s a girl that waits on me quite often. She’s phenomenal. I sadly don’t know her name. She and her family just got back from the Philippines. I buy chicken pot pies weekly . Sometimes more than once a week. Always awesome. But so Much nicer when she is there. Love her

I just don't get it. First and last time. People are lying about this place on the reviews if they are saying it's good. How can a 100 year old place that specializes in Chicken products make such a HORRIBLE chicken soup? Extremely dry meat, tasteless broth, no seasonings or animal fat at all and tasted worse then a boxed cup a soup from Markey basket. It eneded up being I tossed the pot pie 🥧 well, because why bother if the soup was no good? For all my life driving by I always thought I was missing out on some delicious homestyle all American meals. HA. In a weird way I'm glad I never have to subject my self to it again and can just keep it in the review mirror. $20 lesson learned ✅️

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 David R · Apr 2023

Surprisingly bland and unappetizing. Don't want to be too critical, but I regret buying this meal even at a discounted price. Thought these would be tasty pies based on the reviews, but it's really just huge chuncks of bland chicken breast with potatoes and carrots in a crust that isn't very good. Mashed potatoes and gravy were similarly underwhelming. Cranberry sauce has the consistency you get from a canned sauce, kind of like a jelly or jam. I was hoping for whole berries. If you don't like spice or much flavor, maybe you'll enjoy these. My kids like the Marie Calendar pot pies sold at Costco, and even they said this Harrows pie was bland and they didn't want to finish it. Hopefully this helps if you're considering it.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Mathew Moschella · Dec 2025

2 stars is for the convenience factor. Other than that it’s like they’ve never heard of salt, pepper or any type of seasoning. The “with vegetables” is just carrots and potatoes… would it kill you to throw in some peas or onions? Just very bland flavor, the one mass produced you can get at grocery stores is better than this. Not worth the money
