Did you remember the Harvest House Restaurant?
The Harvest House
When the mall area of Meadowdale Shopping Center was rebuilt after the fire, the Wintergarden Pharmacy moved and re-opened in another shopping center. The restaurant known as Harvest House took over the former pharmacy area. It was open from 1966 until 1969. They were well-known for two menu items. The first was pan fried chicken. The other was their Friday fish fry. This location also became Bonanza, and later PM Bentley’s.
