We did a Harlem fried chicken food crawl! As you know, we’re trying to find the best fried chicken in NYC (RECS WELCOMED). We’ve been dying to try some of these iconic places and are so glad we did. Also, we’re glad @thecarboholic was able to join us to help us eat! STOPS: 1. @amyruthsharlem first! We learned how to make their signature chicken and waffles and they were great 2. Charles himself taught us how to make his famous pan fried chicken at @charlespanfriedchicken and their selection of sides was crazy but do not skip the warm cornbread with honey or desserts 3. @sylviasrestaurant aka the queen of soul food has been on our list for years and love their loaded plates with all the fixins, this one’s more pricey 4. @roosterharlem from celebrity chef Marcus Samuelson which has a cornmeal like crust with a sweet and spicy glaze RANKING - Fried Chicken 🍗 🌟This was hard for us to decide since we were a bit torn but Sylvia’s and Amy Ruth’s were at the top and Charles Pan Fried was right behind them with an insanely crispy crust. Red Rooster was our least favorite of the day but still amazing RANKING - sides 🌟Charles Pan Fried Chicken took the lead on the cornbread alone and overall taste of sides. Amy Ruth’s mac and cheese was the best of the day. Red Rooster made an insane white cheddar and greens mac and cheese with a crispy breadcrumb topping. Sylvia’s simple potatoes and yams were delicious to! Hope you try this out and come hungry • • • • #sistersnacking #friedchicken #friedchickenasmr #harlem #harlemfood #harlemfoodie #nyc #nycfood #nycfoodie

Sending much love from DALLAS, TX!! Ok, I will try to make this as short as possible but it’s extremely hard when this place is absolutely AMAZING!!! I visited this place on 1/14/23 while visiting NYC for the very first time. As a “down south” girl who LOVES southern home style cooking, this place DID NOT disappoint! Y’all, when I tell you I have NEVER tasted a waffle like this before, I kid you not! They put Ihop, Dennys, Waffle House, Pancake House, even Roscoes chicken and waffles to shame! I can’t even explain to you how good this waffle was. I got the chicken and waffle and my boyfriend got shrimp and waffle. Y’all……….umm umm umm I’m really just speechless! The chicken was fried to perfection and the shrimp also. The syrup that came along with it went so perfect together. Normally, when I’ve eaten chicken and waffles in the past at other places, I eat the chicken and waffle separate. But this dish just seem like you HAD to eat it together to get the whole experience. from the crispy outer texture of the waffle to the soft fluffy almost cornbread or cake like center, to the crispy fried chicken with the sweet syrup drizzled on top……they put their foot in this dish!! You don’t even need the butter for your waffle! Then the cornbread they serve as you wait for your food……smh….it’s definitely no Jiffy or Martha White baby, that’s all AMY RUTH! Then I looked around at other peoples dishes and saw huge helpings meat loaf, yams, mashed potato’s etc… they give you so much two peop could actually share one dish but the ish so good I PROMISE you will prefer your own plate! Staff was friendly, place was clean, and service was quick! I will definitely be going back! I want to catch a flight just to come get me a plate and come back to Dallas lol! I pray the business expand and y’all get a spot out here in Dallas one day. Thank you so much, it was my favorite meal I had eaten in NYC during my 4 day stay (Joes pizza was #2) instead of me calling it Amy Ruth’s, I’ll refer to it as “Ainee Ruth’s” because it taste like something your auntie hooked up when you came to visit! Y’all please drop by and show these peop some love! I promise you won’t be disappointed!

My brother came in from out of town wanting to eat some soul food so we go to AR. 30 minute wait was not bad, place packed wall 2 wall we were seated near a very busy bathroom which i might add was very clean being A Unisex bathroom. I noticed a table sitting directly under a blue bug zapper which I'm glad we did not accept. (SEE PHOTO BELOW) After being seated menus were given to us made out of paper. We waited at lease 13 minutes just to get water OK the place was crowded. After another 10 minute wait I had the smothered pork chops my brother had roasted chicken my niece had the salmon cakes They sure give you large portions for your money. On a one to ten basis My Pork chops were and 8 I would have given it a 10 but there was so much gravy on it I could not tell where the bone started and the meat ended My brother enjoyed his baked chicken and my niece enjoyed her salmon cakes. We also enjoyed some very good Potato salad collard greens And candy yams, My brother and I also enjoyed a piece of chocolate and coconut cake this place is highly overrated and prices are very high but they do give you a lot of food for your money, My brother asked if I would return to this place My response was no the prices are too high , And you have to wait too long to get served OK the place was crowded the food was just OK though. The bill for 3 people was $100 including tips. End of report

It was vibe was there in 25th august on holiday for my nieces 10th birthday to NYC from London so thought it be good chance to try soul food. The waitress was so lovely very patient with us given that we hadn’t tried it before well authentic american soul food that is. Forgot her name but she’s a star Enjoyed candied yams (uk orange sweet potato basically) very tasty it was a little bit too sweet for me but that’s the points i guess either way it complemented my smothered turkey wings which was full flavour very savoury . I find turkey to be a bit drier than chicken but for me i was able to enjoy so thats a plus. Sister loves vegetables so enjoyed the Okra They are not stingy the chef wants to feed you because our plates were full , you might feel overwhelmed but you won’t complain about the portion sizes. My niece couldn’t finish her plate , it’s funny coz it looked like she didn’t eat it and unfortunately we couldn’t take it back because we had no microwave at the hotel otherwise that would have got waxed down for breakfast. It’s a shame there was no kids menu coz that was a waste of food but thats fine because it seems like a more mature / adult setting . I did like there interior of seeing influential black people on the walls. Overall great experience , great food. I would come back Lol love corn bread carried that back to the london🤣
