Have a wonderful lunch experience at Harlem Tavern. The food was ready in about 10 minutes and was delicious. They have several screens showing sports games. Staff were very accommodating as we had children with us.

Was this place recently renovated? It’s BEAUTIFUL and so clean. Outstanding food. A drink menu so huge, it was hard to choose. I wanted to try so much stuff. Our server Ramon was phenomenal and extremely attentive. I don’t want to give unrealistic expectations, but our drinks showed up in seconds and our food in less than 5 minutes it seemed. SO FAST! The kitchen staff def impressed. That fast with food that was so delicious AND beautifully presented? Y’all just showing off. Amazing.

The place was filled with loud sports fans so we sat on the patio. We had the brunch special which included an entrée and a drink. We had peach Billings! The price was $19.95 and worth it! Our server was friendly and pleasant. I think her base was Kiki! I will go ba k again! I had lamb burger cooked to perfection! My son had huevos Ranchos he said it was delicious!

Came through this past Sunday and had a great time for my first time here. Came during brunch time and the seafood gumbo was delicious. The chicken quesadilla was tasty as well with the steak and eggs. In addition, for brunch time it comes with different selection of drinks you can choose with your meal. I will definitely come back.

This is a busy local hot spot. My visit was on a Sunday during brunch. Tables were available but we opted for the bar to be away from the crowds. The Shocktop beer on draft was cold and delicious. I highly recommend the pot of mussels in spicy tomato sauce. It is served with garlic bread to soak up that great broth. Aside from that, we ordered fries, chicken, and waffles, which were all great as well. Looking forward to returning soon.

We hit this place up to grab a drink after dinner and before heading to a show, so it was a bit of a rush, but this place is a vibe! The drinks were strong and reasonably priced. Some girls behind us ordered some chicken wings, and they looked fire. Will definitely have to visit in the future to get a more complete experience.

1st let me say this place is great to go watch games and drink water and eat French fries. I say that because this food right here was so trash it was crazy everything didn't have seasoning. So if you're into bland food this is a place for you.

Been coming hear for years and the service has not been the same after the pandemic so have to downgrade my rating. The latest: Met a long time friend for drinks and dinner last minute and was glad the Tavern was scheduled to close at 12am (according to their website) , however, on this day everything was shut down by 11:30pm latest. I mean the music was abruptly turned-off, last-call was called, doors were closed, televisions cut off and frankly, killed our entire vibe and conversation and felt so rushed. To add insult to injury, they place the shut off TV directly in our line of sight, blocking our already obstructed view. 😡 I've eaten at restaurants all over the United States and usually restaurants don't do this until the stated time to close (12am according to their website) and even then allow customers to enjoy their meal and not just shut the music & TV off and turn the bright lights on. In the end, we cut our meal short (had no choice really) and took our half-eaten meals to-go, only to throw the enite thing in the garbage once we got home, due to cold and having to reheat the meals. Until they get back to their prepandemic standards, I'll be going across the street to Bistro Blvd.

I've gone to the tavern for years since they arrived to harlem. It fluctuates, they're on a high note!. The hostess were super friendly and got the perfect seat for me outside but can still feel the A/C. My server Sam was awesome and super patient. THE Flatbread is really insane!! So delicious..every flavor balanced. The sangria was refreshing and perfect for the heat. The Buffalo chicken wrap was no good, the chicken tasted like it was fried hard and then just sat. I was able to switch to the fish sandwich, that was perfect!

Great vibe! Waiters were on it. Drinks and food were delicious. We sat outside since it was around 8:30pm so the sun was down. TVs outside to watch different things on TV if you weren't interested in the music. Overall great place to eat.

I've been here about six times over the last two years. Their lunch and dinner fare is leagues above their breakfast and lunch fare. Great service, inclusive establishment. Strong drinks. Photos are from my most recent visit a week ago.

Nice place to have a quick bite. Upon entry no one was available to offer seating. 10 minutes later I decided to walk to the bar and seat myself (reason for 3 stars). The bartender was more engaged in his phone then service. No eye to eye contact at all. Very weird but on to the meal. Food was delicious! The Spicy Margarita IS DELICIOUS (a must try). I guess there’s good days and bad days, this day was crowded and ok.

First time visiting, even though I pass by alot. Waitstaff was friendly. Atmosphere was good, especially for a weekday. My friend had the truffle fries, BBQ spare ribs and Harlem tavern sliders. I had the beef nachos (pictured). Solid prices. Recommended.

Really good chicken and waffles There was someone rolling a blunt right on the table ! lol

Maybe their night life is better than their day time lunch hours. I called ahead to see if they serve turkey burgers and was happy to hear that they do! I walked in around 2PM and the energy and hospitality was lack luster, as I was told to seat myself wherever. Initially I went to the bar where I was told happy hour does not begin until 4PM and only drinks will be served. So, I find a quiet spot in the corner between the threshold of the bar and dining room. The water glasses are already facing right side up on the table, and visibly dirty. I just asked for a clean glass, no problem. I’ll take partial responsibility for the fact that I was served a turkey burger with pork bacon on it. I ordered blindly without reading the menu, but I feel as though I should’ve been informed by my knowledgeable waitress. Regardless, I sent it back knowing they were just going to remove the bacon from my burger and reassemble it accordingly. To my dismay, my burger comes back with a hair on the plate. Mind you, it’s only 2PM. I’m sure it wasn’t intentional but at this point the cleanliness of this establishment is a cause for concern. In the end my meal was compensated, and I was no longer planning to leave this review due to their effort to rectify the situation. However, the opportunity presented itself when I was notified to leave a review😅

Nice service and atmosphere. The food....not so much. We had to send our food back because the onion had mold and the lettuce was brown and wilting. The Turkey burger was large but not tasty. The gumbo was a no. The drinks that came with the brunch were good. First time there so maybe next time will be better.

I had late lunch there. The place was packed (I now think it's because Sunday football was on) so I assumed the food and drinks were good. I ordered "A Peach Grows In Harlem" as my cocktail and chicken and waffles. The drink was a sugary mess and you could hardly taste the alcohol. There wasn't a balance of ingredients in the cocktail. The waffles were good but the chicken was not at all appetizing. The first bite I took of the chicken skin was like rubber. I kept chewing but the fibers weren't breaking down so I gave up and spat it out. I tried a different piece and noticed that parts of the chicken were over cooked and others were under. It felt and tasted stale. And whatever batter they used also tasted like it hadn't been changed in a while. I could literally taste the flour. This is experience was disappointing. I won't be back except maybe for beer or wine (not cocktails.) **Someone in my party did have the gumbo and enjoyed it, though.

Harlem Tavern is a wide space with wonderful energy. My gf tried the Branzino omg it was delicious and full of flavor. I had the spicy tomato mussels and the sauce was delicious plus the portion was big enough for 2 people. I also order the steak sandwich that was full of flavor. Our waitress was wonderful and she also didn't rush us during happy hour. Btw if you go during happy hour the entire restaurant happy hour.😎

Ended up here on a whim just walking around Harlem on a Friday night. It was busy, however got seated upon arrival without a reservation. We sat on the outside covered area and the noise level was a bit much. Just be aware, not sure if in the proper restaurant/indoor area if it's any better. Our waitstaff seemed to be absent minded wondering around and wasn't good at checking in on us. We ended up having to call him over after he passed by multiple times without even looking to see if we needed anything. To the point where we ended up ordering double drinks as we weren't sure when the waitstaff would return. The food was delicious. And honestly the savior of the review as the service left little to desire. Ordered the Pot of Mussels (2 ways...did the White and Spicy Tomato), I've only had in white sauce while my counterpart only had in tomato. I maybe bias but the white sauce is wayyy better. For mains ordered the Truffle burger (I love me some truffle) and the Codfish Po'boy sandwich. Ended up splitting both in half and sharing the other 1/2 with one another as they were so good. The burger was cooked perfectly and not overwhelmed with truffle and the codfish po'boy was crispy with the lettuce, tomato, mayo and the bread all adding to the flavor. I would go back and sit in another section to see if the service is the same all around or if we just had an off night for the gentleman.

The Harlem Tavern has excellent food, a nice atmosphere, and excellent service. The Harlem Tavern is readily accessible from public transit, and has a good mix of indoor and outdoor seating options. I sampled a variety of their food at a work function, and it was all delicious. Our server was friendly and very efficient. The Harlem Tavern really is a great place to have a meal, meet up for some drinks, or both.

I went to Harlem Tavern on a Friday at 4 pm in November and the place was dead. When I left at appx 7:30 there were a few other people but there were a lot of empty tables. My lamb burger was juicy and tasted great. The goat cheese and pesto sauce complimented the meat. The truffle fries didn't leave a wow effect on my taste buds. My aunt had the seafood ceviche but couldn't enjoy or finish it because it was too sour. It was hard to taste the seafood because the lime juice was overpowering. I'll give Harlem Tavern another shot, as I must try other items on the menu before making a final fair judgment.

The service at Harlem Tavern is the WORST dining experience I have ever had. I have been to Harlem Tavern multiple times and their quality of service is always horrible but my most recent experience was ABYSMAL. We saw in the restaurant for 2 hours waiting for our food to be served. When it arrived, our salmon was cold and uncooked on the inside. We ordered food to go for our family which came out incorrectly. We asked to speak to the manager, saw our waiter communicate this, and the manager couldn't spare 5 minutes to speak with us. Harlem Tavern shows no care for their customers, the quality of their food or other people's time. We would have been better off going to Chipotle than spending $150 on subpar service and uncooked food. There are too many good restaurants in Harlem to waste your money on such an unprofessional and inconsiderate establishment. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE.
