Harlem Nights Scratch Kitchen and Cocktails — Restaurant in Paris

Absolutely beautiful restaurant with delicious good old fashion southern soul food just like Grandma used to make served with a smile. I cook a lot of down home southern soul food, I am dang good cook, but sometimes I don't want to cook it myself, sometimes I want someone else to feed my soul for a change and boy did Harlem Nights feed my hungry soul. I had the chicken and dressing with a side of greens and mac n' cheese while my husband enjoyed the fish and shrimp with mac n cheese and okra, we started off with some tasty fried green tomatoes. All homemade deliciousness! The food was out of this world and they weren't stingy, the portions were huge and the prices were great. I have enough chicken and dressing to last my aging body a few days and my husband walked away with a huge whole hand breaded fish filet and 4 shrimp. My husband polished his off when he got home and declared "it's even good cold!". They were pretty slow as they only had one cook due to being understaffed tonight, we didn't complain as the food was worth the wait, but the cook came out and still sent us home with some delicious peach cobbler and banana pudding to enjoy when our tummies weren't so full. Bottom line, if you love good granny style home cooking, IE: soul food, this is the only place in town you will find it cooked the right way! You could feel the love in our food, we WILL be back. The oxtails are...

A friend recommended Harlem Nights to me and said it was excellent food. So my wife and I decided to give it a shot and let me tell you, he wasn't lying. The minute we walked through the doors The ladies in the restaurant greeted us, asked us how we were doing, and where as nice as can be. I informed them we have never been there before we were new. They Show us the menu and told us the recommendations on what food they Thought was the best. I ended up going with chicken fried chicken with sweet potatoes and macaroni and cheese and my wife ended up going with chicken fried steak with fried green tomatoes and Macaroni and cheese. When the food came out, it was so hot. We couldn’t even eat it for the first 10 minutes. It was completely fresh and everything was homemade didn’t last very long. I’m pretty much finished it almost immediately except for my macaroni which my wife stole. She is a very big macaroni lover, and she loved their homemade macaroni. I let the ladies know that this was the best meal I’ve had in Paris, Texas and probably my new favorite restaurant and I would definitely be back. I would recommend it for anybody. The only downfall of the restaurant is the location is not in the best part of town but do not let that persuade you. It is an excellent restaurant. The restaurant itself was very nice and clean and they took great care of us. We will...

Well, I never would have known this place existed if it wasn't for my wife's desire to try new foods. I love trying new food, but she has a whole new level. It's gonna make this move to New Mexico amazing. Anyway, that's not important. So, Harlem nights, this place has an amazing interior, ambiance, and just a great vibe.

The food and the service is great, and here is a snippet of what we had. Also, I should have had the chicken and waffles, but it was dinner time so I had collard greens and wings instead. My favorite chicken and waffles is in philly, but i need to try these ones.

Greens are good, and the wings are amazing. Nothing spicy or too salty. My wife, she had the chicken fried steak with okra and potatoes. She is a true texas, I am not. Although, she said it was the best in the area. That was def alittle heavy for me to eat.

When i'm back in town, i will try them out again. Great work...
