Tracy P.February 9, 2014Love love love the Harlem Classic with bacon. So tasty, way more memorable than Shake Shack.
Faridah AbdullahAugust 23, 2014Harlem Market on 115 th and 116 th Street. Booth 24. Come and see the jewelry........earrings, chains and watches.
- Red Velvet shake was to die for, thick and delish!!! Hot mess is my fav burger, nice juicy!!!!
UzoNYCMay 25, 2014Burgers are good. A little overpriced by my estimation, but if you've got the scrilla, it's worth the trip. http://www.uzonyc.com/?p=622
KW.June 22, 2013Great staff and customer service! And the hot mess is amazing. Don't do the jerk fries. The mayo is too much.
Aweaome experience decor is to die for . My official review coming soon.
Jean LFebruary 2, 2015Great for after Apollo events. Skip the pretentious red rooster and crowded corner social. GO HERE
Rikki MorganJune 3, 2013Cute retro decor and friendly staff. My turkey burger was okay. The red velvet shake was too milky and tasted like vanilla. The price of the burger was reasonable but the milkshake was overpriced.
Kim BMarch 22, 2015Love, love, love the Patty Melt, Jerk Fries with a Stella Artois! Yummy in Harlemworld!
Barkima LaneJune 15, 2013I can tell by the look of things, the shakes could be thicker. Can't wait to taste the salted caramel shake.
Mathilde PanagetAugust 9, 2014Great burgers! Try the Hot Mess and keep room for the red velvet shake ❤️
I love their burger ... ask for a side of their jerk sauce .. take a dip and BOOM!

Tyrus TownsendJune 8, 2013So went back again for the second weekend in a row and experienced the same negligence regarding my order. Honestly I'm not sure if this place is gonna succeed. Doubt I will be going back!
Bubblez SinclairNovember 30, 2014Great turkey burger just wish they had more milkshake flavors. Overall great place
Ashley BlackmonJune 14, 2013A shake shack rival indoors, uptown and has red velvet milkshakes! Without the crazy lines!
Heather DanielaMay 26, 2013Very happy with the veggie burger with cheese, jerk fries & salted caramel shake! I'll be back
Peanut. Butter. Milkshake. Killer burgers. Great service. 👍👍- Angelica YoungNovember 11, 2014I don't usually go for shakes, but the double chocolate bacon shake is amazing!
The burgers are off the hook, but if you open a biz with "shake" in the name, you better have some bomb-ass milk shakes. Unfortunately, my shake was milky and warm. #WTF Will be getting a refund.
luis torresJune 16, 2013the millshake man decided to garnish my shake with a chocilate HS! awesome service
Excellent breakfasts, to Enjoy on the terras at the street side.

The customer Service is truly great. Definitely try the Red Velvet Shake.
The "Harlem Shake" shake is amazing. Red Velvet as a shake?!?! Um, yes please.- Brendan RogersJune 17, 2013Excellent time here, try the fried chicken sandwich and red velvet shake!!
S EAugust 22, 2015The orders take a while. I ordered 3 shakes and had to wait 30 mins. My co-worker ordered food and shakes after me and received her order before mine. Overall the shakes were okay.
Khadijah PMay 17, 2013Jessica was very sweet & patient as we tried to figure out our order! Thanks Jessica!!
- Wow!!! That spicy carib slaw is off the charts!! Must try!!
- Tyrus TownsendSeptember 5, 2013I have visited this place three times and everytime has been a fluke. I will NEVER EVER give this establishment my hard earned money again. I wish you success in the future.
