Connie ChiuAugust 23, 2014The lamb tostada and cornbread! Fried yardbird was only okay, but huge portion.
- ExperiencesAugust 10, 2012Corn bread mandatory. Obv. Mac and cheese, fried yardbird... It's top-notch and worth the trip.
Harlem AmbassadorMarch 26, 2013When the review was made by the NY Times, the bar was a hit and the food, not even mentioned. Understandably. You will exchange cards and numbers Harlemites are ho-hum on yardbird. Stick with apps.
SparkieSeptember 26, 2012Harlem: Saturday and Sunday brunches hear are rumored to be incredible! Prices vary pending dish and cocktails.
The New York TimesMarch 8, 2011Cornbread’s a must. Then? Duck-liver pudding: Discuss. (Yes.) Red Caesar salad: yes. Fried yard bird: Yes. Go malted for dessert. Read more
Pamela TerryDecember 23, 2013Me and Sean loved the gospel brunch downstairs. The singers were extremely talented.
Wade O COctober 18, 2011Helga Meatballs, Yams, salad, Mac & Greens, and a half off the beer (during the happy hour.) Can't beat that!
Lori K. http://www.lkpheartsfood.netJanuary 5, 2015Deviled eggs, Obamatini, Mexiopian chicken. All outrageously fantastic.
Turner CowlesFebruary 16, 2014Mac & greens are out of this world, but be prepared to skip the booze before noon.
TeeAnje BrightJanuary 25, 2011Spinach & Crab soup was light and refreshing. Fried Yard Bird is not for the weak; it is spiced perfectly. Meeting Marcus Samuelsson was a pleasurable plus.
Sunday Gospel Brunch. Live jazz band. Nice atmosphere. Sometimes a little crowded.
Sir KensingtonAugust 9, 2011The ketchup of choice here is Sir Kensington's! Try it with the yardbird and the steak frites. Finish off with Peanut Bourbon.
Bill O'LearyOctober 28, 2014The appetizers and "snacks" are excellent. Fried chicken "yard bird" all dried out.
Chriss RimpelDecember 5, 2013Best time to go when ZING EXPERIENCE is performing. Www.Facebook.com/CR booking N marketing for details
Ms. Dee BellDecember 1, 2011Happy hour from 4-6 offers half priced drinks. We aren't talking the watered down in a plastic cup variety. Good stuff!
Don't order a Zombie at the bar, you'll be dead too by the time the Zombies working there make it for you!
Princess de JesusAugust 9, 2015Yard bird..the white gravy is very rich. Grits too is extra rich and creamy.
Joe DAugust 21, 2012Grilled Chicken Sandwich was awesome. Was a little worried about "pickled vegetables" but was great.
Nick MonroeMay 14, 2012Worthy of the hype. Don't miss the Jerk Bacon & Egg as well as the Mac & Greens.
Kyle BridgeforthMarch 9, 2013Go here for the whiskey list, not the food service. Cornbread is good. Pretty women walking around. Downstairs is Jinny's Supper Club, not Red Rooster.
KateJanuary 27, 2020Came for Restaurant Week to try the Hot Honey Yard Bird and was disappointed. It wasn't seasoned well and found it bland. Sweet Potato Doughnut was served cold which was also disappointing.
Victoria Ferguson-YoungJanuary 11, 2014Get the appetizer cornbread! It was the best thing all night!
Julien VillaMay 10, 2012The food is great, but the hostess is blatantly lying to you when she's giving away your table and making you wait for 30 minutes when you have a reservation
Christopher PepeJanuary 15, 2013Butternut squash soup is off the hook and on the Restaurant Week menu, so go for it!
Katherine BarnaDecember 15, 2012Jerk bacon and egg at brunch is to die for. Sadly the Obama-tini doesn't live up to its name.
