The Acorn Restaurant — Restaurant in Harlem

I came in for breakfast early on a Saturday morning. The restaurant is part of a B&B, Red Oak Manor, and it fits with that kind of vibe. I was the only diner and it was very quiet in there until someone eventually turned on the TV.

The staff was very friendly and when I ordered the lady taking the order let me know the biscuits might take an extra couple of minutes. Managing expectations, good move since I could have pivoted to toast if time was an issue. Where they lost a star was when my omelet came out without the grits and I was told they weren't quite ready. After a wait I was offered potatoes which I decided to go with but she went ahead and brought the grits and explained the consistency wasn't what they liked. They were soupy. Good quality and tasty, but soupy.

The omelet on the other hand was great. I got the Acorn Omelet that had onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, bacon pieces, white cheddar and a generous portion of pork tenderloin chunks. Very nice omelet.

I feel like there is 5 star potential here and definitely recommend trying them. Oh yeah and the price...

Went here one morning for breakfast everything was really good ,good customer service, then we went back one evening got a menu the menu said 13 something for a steak, so I got the steak and the steak was no good full of fat and just tasted awful, and the vegetables were very plain you could tell I didn't eat anything off my plate... I got up to the register and my steak rang up for $30 it really made me mad because they gave me a menu that said $13 for the steak and then got up to the register and it was $30 just for the steak, so definitely ask before u go off what the menu says... I was very disappointed and angry because it was not worth the money at all... I wouldn't even pay that amount at my favorite restaurant for a steak,That changed my mind about this place. And I will...

Stopped by here for lunch while driving thru Harlem. Cool atmosphere, located in a bed and breakfast style setting. Very polite staff. Kid friendly. Tables have paper coverings and our waitress encouraged our daughter to draw on the paper covering with the crayons they provided. That made us and our daughter very happy! I ordered a Philly cheese steak with house chips and my wife got the chicken finger basket. My Philly was very good! Really enjoyed it. My wife said that the chicken fingers were just ok, but she knew ahead of time that they were not home Meade chicken fingers. We got the acorn bites as an appetizer and they were extremely good!

Definitely a lot more on the menu that we are going to try! Give this...
