Harlem Toddy: Jack Daniel honey, Starr African Rum, earl grey tea, spiced coriander syrup - The real deal

Famous for Fried Yardbird, Swedish meatballs! Everything including was good here, including cornbread :) I didn't like bloodymarry so much

Celeb chef Marcus Samuelsson’s eatery offers his take on soul-food classics. Come for Renaissance on Thursdays (7:30pm), a weekly DJ night devoted to jazz and soul tunes from across the globe. Read more

High energy from a blend of old world Harlem, pioneering yuppies and...European tourists? Yup its in the guidebooks. May not be cool much longer (when it hits American tourists' radar they are done).

Great chicken and waffles and the creamy grits are addictive! Also loved the music and overall atmosphere.
Rachel FerlagJanuary 19, 2016
Spicy chicken wings, corn bread, music, bar. Everything was great!

The only place I've been to where I actually liked the corn bread. Usually I find cornbread too dry and crumbly, but this stuff was moist and even kind of sweet.
AhmedJanuary 15, 2014
The ambiance is great. Food is awesome (Must haves - fried yard bird and corn bread...yummy) and of course the drinks!
Jennifer 🍴December 26, 2010
Awesome food, awesome service! We had the cornbread, oysters, dirty rice, duck liver, yard bird chicken and shrimp & grits. Everything was beyond great. And it was a plus to meet Marc Samuelsson!
Deon DJuly 30, 2017
The best chicken and waffles ever. Try the mac and greens and corn bread. You will not be sorry.
Karin BäcklundJanuary 19, 2016
The live music ads to the great atmosphere! Come here to have a few drinks or to have dinner.
Yanzy BearJanuary 1, 2018
Walked in and the music was so good. The vibe was great but, to get a drink it was a disaster. Still loved the music

Food was outstanding (especially the cornbread!) DJ was excellent and the music great, it's WAY too loud. Can't hear anyone not next to you.
Tracey ChurrayJanuary 2, 2014
Start with the cornbread, split the Mac and Greens and the Yard bird with a friend, have one of the best meals ever.
NicoleJune 10, 2017
Short ribs were great! Enough to share for 4 plus some sides. Mac n cheese with kale ....yummy
Amy ZiffDecember 8, 2018
The food is tasty but pretty heavy. The Brussels sprout side dish was the absolute best and the pumpkin soup was thick and hearty.
Honghui YuNovember 8, 2016
Great ambience with delicious food. Come here for Sunday morning brunch with live music!
Pame Rubio PiñaDecember 15, 2015
Amazing ambience, main dishes are excellent! Corn bread is a must!
Tom FlemingMay 18, 2014
Gail's Bloody Mary Eggs are a must for Sunday brunch. So good! And the corn bread is so fresh. Also try the lemonade. Yum!

It's the latest obsession in our Creative Department; they simply can't stop talking about the Mac & Greens and The Cat's Meow. We'll be sure to see you again up-up-town...

Great decor and atmosphere. Pricing slightly higher than other comparable restaurants.
Francesca GrimaOctober 31, 2013
Great atmosphere and interesting food but can't help but feel that it has become more of a tourist spot than the authentic Harlem eatery
Maria Eugenia SosaMay 21, 2018
Very tasty food, excellent service. In general staff is very nice too.

The shrimp and grits is the best southern food in NYC, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: NYC Edition." Read more

Very nice place to eat and enjoy the vibe and some music.

Fried chicken and waffles are legit and not overwhelmingly large. Basically everything is great
Mimi D.March 20, 2016
Listen...their mac&cheese with collard* greens! And their cornbread 😍 I previously left this tip and saw that I had a typo 😩 stupid swype keyboard lol
DrewskiApril 17, 2015
I love wings, and these are possibly the best I've ever had. The sauce is incredible.
Saarim ZamanJanuary 19, 2016
Super lively vibes here. Order the yardbird for 2, and don't forget to get a pitcher of the punch.
DoggrunnerSeptember 17, 2013
Great food! Fried green tomatoes, great! Crab cakes great! Jerk chicken, great! Cocktails are good, skip the wine!
Brittanyc EnnixJune 9, 2011
The windows/doors are open to give you the feel of eating outside, so its REALLY HOT in here! Dress light! Lol other than that the food is good.
Fatima SerulleJune 16, 2013
Loved the entire ambiance, staff people watching - the music was incredible! Don't leave without trying the biscuits!

Monday nites fabulous band Rakiem Walker band fabulous!! The violinist is breathtaking!! And Dj Masi keep you on your feet!!!
Guy LennoxApril 27, 2014
Come strapped with cash. Personally, I believe it's worth it for the environment they offer, but, it's expensive. A good night would typically run you $80.00-$100.00.
Zina MeeksApril 27, 2014
The pork belly and beans are to die for. The flavours are perfect!
Dan ChenOctober 12, 2014
CORN BREAD, lobster mac and greens, yard bird, shrimp grits!
IsaMarch 11, 2017
Best cornbread ever! Try the fried yardbird or the roasted chicken, they're both very delicious:)
Tiffany LangstonFebruary 12, 2016
It's good. Streetbird is better and cheaper, but if you want to hit up Marcus Samuelsson's flagship, sit at the super cool copper bar
Monica DesaiNovember 28, 2014
Best bird I've had! The yardbird, that is. Great soulful vibe to go with it too.

I like the Dinner menu better than brunch, but always impeccable service and good ingredients
Daniele CodegaOctober 14, 2014
Fried Yard Bird is amazing! Comes with delicious mash potatoes and gravy. Get ready to take a nap after all that.
Dwyer WilliamsSeptember 26, 2013
Salmon, fish & grits, deviled eggs, catfish good. Drinks great. Didnt care for mac n greens. Pricey, good service tho.
Rachel LippmanSeptember 2, 2012
Get the lamb bunny chow you won't regret it! You also can't go wrong with the gravlax, a tribute to Samuelsson's native Sweden.
Kelly POctober 22, 2015
I had the salmon and my partner had the lobster mac and cheese ... Amazing and the perfect portion.
Zayed KhanMay 27, 2015
Their brunch game is strong! Hard to go wrong with any plate, and the live jazz is no joke.
William DoonanMay 1, 2017
Come here for elevated comfort/soul food. They have excellent fried chicken and shrimp and grits.
Thova HelmfridNovember 5, 2019
Their chicken wing starter is to die for 😋
Katerina AnnaDecember 3, 2014
Seems like a good place to try soul food. Great cocktails and really fun live music nights!
