The sauce for the jerk fries is kinda heavy. Order the sauce on the side.

“Gets the job done” type place imo
Terrea MitchellAugust 8, 2013
The atmosphere is fun, loud and fun. staff is friendly but unorganized. It took almost 30 minutes for my order because they forgot to put it in, however the food redeemed this eatery. call ahead.

Waited 20 minutes for a melted sundae. The couple who ordered after me, received and finished their meal before I even got this melted mess.

Ben BrattonMay 20, 2013
Customer service was terrible. Burger was gross. Shake was milky and warm. I'be been in Harlem for 5 years and this is the biggest disappointment that's opened in the area so far. Way overhyped.

Best sweet potato fries!
Tyrus TownsendJune 1, 2013
Make sure you check your receipt before leaving!! I got home and two of the four items I ordered were completely messed up. Not a good way to start off a new business.
