This place was nice and low key. We ordered boneless 10 piece with honey bbq and medium buffalo. We did not wait long our food was hot and tasty! Bomb wing spot especially if you had some drink!

The wings were really good and had a nice kick to it. The owner was really nice and calm. The mozzarella sticks were really nice, cheesy, and crispy. The food was a bit overpriced, and the honey mustard cost extra. I would recommend and I will try it again.

Nice, clean place and great service. Didn’t waiting at all and the wings were delicious and cooked very well. I’d recommend if you’re in the Harlem area and would want some wings without hurting your pockets.

I have been going to Atomic wings for close to 10 years now. I always stop and pick up the party pack and bring it to a party that I go to. The wings have always been wonderful. The price is reasonable and I will continue to come here

Went for lunch. Cute place with nice vibe, had to wait a little to get seats at a very wobbly table. Staff was nice and friendly. Part of the reason we came was because we knew they had a gluten free menu, as one of our family members has celiac. He wanted to order the schnitzel, which was listed as GF on the menu, but we double checked it, and it actually wasn't! So he got the salmon salad. He said the salmon was very dry. I ordered falafels - which were very good, and the shakshuka, which I didn't really care for. It was covered in green olives and feta, and I had to dig to find the eggs. The tomato sauce was overly spicy and I left most of it over. The chicken shawarma was too bland, and the fluffy potato chips were ok. Overall, not sure if we will be back, or maybe only to buy something from the cute shop that is in the front area that sells jewelry bags and scarves. Disappointed

The food was delicious, but the salmon was a little bit too dry for me (even though I requested medium cooked). Nice spot for lunch.

Great place and good Israeli menu. The Shakshuka was surprisingly good and served hot. The Malawach was also pretty tasty and served with tahini and tomato sauce (needed more for this size). The falafel was hard and not great. Service was a little slow.

The best babaganoush I’ve ever had and overall delicious food, great ambiance. We also tried the veggie cigars which were delicious, and the fluffy chips which are unlike anything I’ve ever tried before and loved them! They have cute pieces by artisans, I bought a cute card and noticed they had beautiful makeup pouches and home decor. Great place to come hang out with friends, enjoy the patio, or stay in. Love working from here and will certainly be back every time I’m in the city.

The food is excellent, however, the service is quite slow and efficient, hence the reason for four stars. I think the best item here is their falafel plate, which comes with four big falafel Pattie’s on a bed of tahini and several small salads and hummus, along with a choice of 2 sides. For $14, this is a great value for an absolutely delicious snack. We always get the fluffy potato chips which are really flavorful along with their fattoush salad. Another great item is the babaganoush. This roasted, eggplant dip is incredibly smoky, and the smoked paprika on top gives it great flavor. The pita they serve with it is extremely soft and fresh as well. We have tried other dishes in the past, like their cauliflower appetizer, but it just misses the mark. Honestly, just come here if you want the two aforementioned dishes.

My travel companion and I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for a quick bite and cocktail while we waited for our reservations at Melba’s. Thankfully this was just a stop. Had this been the destination I would’ve been incredibly disappointed the establishment being nearly empty the service was terrible. Bloody Mary 6.5/10 Heavy in the tomato sauce and light on the alcohol. Additionally, there were no additional love or accoutrements to help this beverage taste anything more than like leftovers. Jerk Chicken 7.5/10 Peach Fuzz 1/10 Do not recommend. My date sent it back. Rather my date tried to send it back but the service was so terrible. We ended up holding onto it for about 25 minutes before anyone came to our table to provide assistance. Salmon burger 7.75/10

Good food and ambiance in the heart of Harlem. Nice spot to with a group of friends, kid friendly to just enjoy a nice lunch or dinner, even better at night with some live entertainment and ways to watch games. The wait can be long because it gets super busy but not too long. Staff is nice and friendly too. I’d recommend.

Harlem Tavern is a vibrant spot in NYC that offers a great mix of atmosphere, food, and drinks. The outdoor seating is spacious, so it’s great for a sunny day or warm night. They have a solid menu with comfort foods like the Tavern Burger and Buffalo Wings that hit the spot. The drinks selection is great too with plenty of craft beers and cocktails to choose from. Also the staff is super friendly- only did 4 stars because it was so busy, so we had a to wait a bit to put in our requests.
Jasmine Mitchell - 5 months ago

The food and service were awesome. They could handle a party of thirty or more without needing a deposit. I loved the food, drinks, and servers. Everyone was super nice and helpful. The atmosphere was upbeat but not too crazy, which was great for families and kids. There was even live music, and the performers played Sesame Street for my daughter.
M London - 6 months ago

Food is definitely overpriced but the burgers and fries were very filling and delicious. I went for a late lunch so there weren't too many people. The vibe was nice and the music wasn't too loud. They have a lunch menu that is a little cheaper than their dinner menu. Even though there are a lot of servers, the service is really slow. I saw a group of servers just chatting and being on their phones in front of the kitchen when I passed by them on my way to the bathroom. Overall, good food but definitely not a place to eat at unless you have no other plans after.

Stopped in after my hair appointment & was not disappointed. Our server TuQuan was great, he was very attentive & provided his personal recommendations. We both enjoyed our meals, wish we would have had room for dessert! my only con was it was freezing inside.

I went to Melba’s this past Saturday, and had a great experience. I love the subtle upscale nature of this place, backed up with some great dishes. The menu is small, but what they do, they do well. I ordered just two dishes; the chicken and eggnog waffles and an order of peas and rice. Both dishes were so good, especially with the addition of the strawberry butter and maple syrup to the chicken and waffles. I also had a strawberry lemonade drink which was refreshing. Overall, I think this is an excellent place to come for great dishes and a nice atmosphere.

Stopped Here On A Busy Sunday Afternoon Craving Some Delicious Soul Food. Unfortunately I Was Able To Get A Table Due To Long Wait Times. I’m Glad I Decided To Still Get Food. I Enjoyed Every Item I Ordered. Mac & Cheese- 4/5 Tasty, But It Was Missing Something Collard Greens- 5/5 Nicely Seasoned With A Hint Of Sweetness Yams- 4/5 Sweet, But Not Too Sweet. Could Use A Lil More Nutmeg Chicken Wings- 3.9/5 They Were Big AF & They Kinda Lacked In Seasoning Bbq Short Rib- 5/5 It Was Falling Off The Bone Good. Carrot Cake -5/5 Delicious Lemonade- 5/5 Splendid

I came here in a party of two on a Saturday afternoon before catching a show in the city. As far as flavors go, as a Texan, I can throw a rock in Houston or Dallas and hit a place with better seasoned food. But, this is New York; so, I’m guessing it scratches an itch for locals who rarely travel south of the Mason-Dixon Line. If you expect to get a table on the weekends, definitely make a reservation. Otherwise, you may not be able to be seated at all. The servers and busboys were friendly and courteous and mildly attentive. Sweet tea 6/10 All sweet, no tea. Rum punch 7.75/10 Tasted pre-mixed and rum light. Chicken and egg nog waffle 7/10 Utilitarian portion. No razzle. Even less dazzle. Egg nog, out of season, is not as comforting as one would think. Catfish and egg nog waffle 7/10 Ditto above, plus I wish the catfish was better seasoned and crispy rather than mushy. Requesting a bottle of hot sauce was the only way to save the fish.

I lived right by Melba's for 1.5 years but only went to the restaurant towards the very end of my stay in New York City. I totally and wholeheartedly regret that now. We ordered the oxtails and the short ribs - both were amazing beyond belief. The sweet yams where out of the world as well. Rest of the sides were good too. The final cherry on the top was the sweet potato pie, which was surprisingly served cold - it managed to be so impressive that it now sits on top of my dessert list.

It was ok being that Thursday they were closing their doors. They had limited juices for drinks. The host was doing everything, seating, making drinks, bringing you your change from the bill. When I didn't see him, I thought he was back there cooking too. My shrimp and grits were very loose. Candy didn't enjoy her Pumkin French Toast, Diane enjoyed her grits with a side of catfish bites. Wendy's enjoyed her chicken and pancakes. The total of the bill was high to me.

Went here on a whim when a place right nearby that features Happy Hour Oysters was out of oysters and we were craving oysters! We went on a Sunday so we didn’t get Happy Hour prices — HOWEVER! Those oysters were HUGE! Plus the chicken and pancakes and the shrimp and grits were awesome. Grits made the REAL way - and this southern gal would know! Love the little nook setting of the patio seating and we had a great server. Service was *slightly* slow but I imagine it’s cause it was so good (making it v busy!) Love that they had a DJ. We also had the Sinners Paradise, which was v yummy but I must admit it almost tasted a bit like Sangria as opposed to what I thought would be like a hibiscus margarita. All in all, we had a great experience and look forward to going back for Happy Hour!

Visited here twice, back in Jan and then again in Mar. Both times had reservations, first time sat at the bar and the bartender was great, she was friendly and it was fun to watch her work. Second time sat at a table and they had a DJ that started shortly after arriving. And man, was it loud! So loud...hard to have conversation, so next time I'd sit outside as it wasn't as loud. If you don't mind not talking...inside is fine. Just no reason to have it be that loud. Anyhoo, first time had the Lobster & Shrimp hash and it was so delicious...if I could lick the plate without getting stared at, I would have. Second time got the Chicken & Pancakes which the pancakes were delicious however the chicken was over fried and a bit crispy. Should have sent it back..but it took a while to get service so didn't want to continue to wait. Didn't give 5 stars due to the chicken not being consistent as my table mate had it the prior visit which came out perfectly cooked. I'll keep on the short list for brunch options, knowing about the DJ on Sunday and sitting outside as well as bar seating vs table due to slow service.

This great place with jazz atmosphere I strongly recommend. Vibes are great! Music is amazing. Everything is cleaned and well-organized. Food and drinks are really good.

Great layout. You won't be packed like sardines here. It's loud up front so ask your maitre d' if you prefer to sit further back. Service is prompt, menu is extensive and food is great. The jazz was great too. I enjoyed my experience and would come back.

Minton's Playhouse in Harlem is a vibrant spot where jazz history comes alive. The live performance was phenomenal, with talented musicians and an electric atmosphere that swept us up in the groove. The food was equally impressive, with a variety of delicious, well-prepared options at affordable prices. A special thanks to our waiter, Chandler, for his attentive and friendly service. Minton’s offers a perfect blend of great food, live jazz, and a welcoming vibe definitely a must-visit!

i came here for the first time to hear my brother sing & it was an all around good night. I would definitely come back, but only if I get to have my same service Michelle. She was great helpful, personable & fun. Everything she suggested was a good look. I would've shared a picture of the drinks but that how good they were, maybe next time.

I recently visited this incredible jazz club that exceeded all expectations. The atmosphere was electric, and the food was exceptional. We enjoyed the Drizzy G cocktail, shared salmon/crab cakes, turkey sliders with truffle fries, and the standout dish, the yucca fries with an irresistible sauce—an absolute must have. The night was made unforgettable by the soulful performance of Kirk Bailey and his band, who created a magical experience. I'll definitely return, and if you're looking for a thrilling jazz club, this is the place to be!

This was an amazing brunch spot. The staff was attentive and friendly towards my group. The drinks were tasty and strong, and the in-house DJ was amazing, bringing in the vibes. As for the food....impeccable. I got the Slow Braised Beef short ribs, and it was cooked to perfection. The portion was enough, and the flavor was well worth the price. Would definitely come here again

A beautiful upscale soul food place in Harlem. I got the fried chicken with collard greens and the lobster mac & cheese. It was all so delicious! The chicken came with a dipping hot sauce that was out of this world. I also got the chocolate martini my girlfriend got the pear martini, and they were both excellent. All the staff were friendly and fast. The atmosphere was wonderful. Definitely recommend going here even if you’re not close to the area.

We went on a Sunday morning around noon. Wasn't too crowded at all. We opted for the mimosas which were bottomless around $25. They have 4 flavors. We got the honey biscuits and shrimp for starters which were definitely really good. That was the best part of the meal honestly. Pancakes were ok. Service was decent. Benedict looked good and I know the grits were good as well. Portions are definitely a good size. Took a while for us to get the check. However a big party did come in. 18% is added automatically for parties with 2 or more. I would definitely comeback.
Shaneka “Pennie” Evans - a month ago

The food was fabulous. The service not so good. There were 3 of us. 1 person drinking the mimosa special. She had to keep asking for a refill. No other guests should know what anyone is drinking. There was hardly no one in the place. Servers just standing around talking w the bartender. Not the best look for a tourist like myself. I had a question about the menu. Had to get up, interrupt the chatting and ask a question. Very dissappointed in the service. WE can do better. I still tipped 25 percent. WE must do better.

I brought my boyfriend here to celebrate his birthday and it was also our first time visiting. We made a reservation and were seated promptly. Service was excellent. We enjoyed the bottomless mimosas and the server made sure to keep them coming. Food was delicious and the restaurant it spacious and super nice. I really appreciate the clean bathrooms as well. Overall 10/10 and will definitely be back to try the dinner menu!

Stopped by for lunch with a friend who came up from Brooklyn and was reminded of how good this local spot is. The staff was friendly and attentive, the food was delicious including the burrata crostini, the kale salad, French toast and bacon (extra crispy just how I like it) and the vibe was homey and comfortable. Will definitely keep coming back.

First time at Lido and I loved everything. I’m lactose intolerant, request a cream-free spaghetti and they were great to offer me a yummy version. Wine list is great and the music is perfect to enjoy a beautiful evening. No reservation needed.

Winner winner, chicken dinner! I was a grateful recipient of community generosity w/ a well-balanced meal of baked chicken, rice & beans, a salad, an orange, & apple juice boxes. Tip: bring a container with you if you want to take your food to go. I'd forgotten mine, but I'll try to remember next time!

I had a great experience as a first-timer at the pantry today; the lines weren't very long due to the weather but I also got there at the top of the food distribution timeframe for today which began at 12:30pm. I had an appointment that I'd set through Plentiful but I waited in line anyway and was "in and out" in less than 15 minutes. The staff members were very kind and helpful to me as a first-timer and I am grateful for this service. :) I have a two-person household, and they assisted me with much-needed fresh(!) fruit (strawberries, blueberries, and lemons - strawberry lemonade, anyone?!), veggies (asparagus and tomatoes), milk, juice, and non-perishables, as well as a pack of chicken that will last a few days. This will supplement my regular shop as it is about $35-40 worth of food - at least in my neighborhood.

Nice, quiet & spotless ! Just what I needed on a heckled day. Plus, I got to try a new flavored foamy oleato! Windows could be cleaner, but we've had lots of rains... so I get it.

These 5 stars are for Shardai (I hope I spelled her name right). She is absolutely outstanding. She goes beyond the call of duty with every single person she interacts with. She greets people by name and goes the extra mile to prepare their drink just right. Still, it is not just about the drink for her though. It's about community. She makes people feel good and want to come back. She is absolutely the best brand ambassador that Starbucks could have and should want to have at every location.

3/24/2022 No matter how slowly you say your name...Chai tea latte and cheddar sandwich (no meat). Beverage and food were hot, store was clean and neat, the wait was about 5 mins . There is a $0.10 charge for cups (yes, on top of the $4.95 grande charge). Joy was the cashier, she was patient with each customer and clarified the requested order. My husband has a lot of gift cards, so I'm using them up. 3/25/2022 Same location and my name is different. Today's beverage was vanilla creme cold brew. MUCH more flavorful than yesterday's chai. I LOVE chai but no matter where I go, Starbucks' doesn't do it for me. But this vanilla creme is sweet and strong on vanilla flavor. I would recommend this beverage.
