The Michelada is a great drink to go for and get the Mac and cheese for brunch.

Yard Bird - yum. The steak - amazing! Mint Lemonade was good too!

If you like South Asian flavors, try the sweet potato and lamb hash during brunch. Very interesting flavors that taste almost like a dry curry.
Zayed KhanMay 27, 2015
Their brunch game is strong! Hard to go wrong with any plate, and the live jazz is no joke.
Mary BrutovskiJuly 20, 2014
Earl of Harlem! Must have cocktail...the smoothest bourbon cocktail u have ever had.
Jeff SmithApril 30, 2016
The corn bread, shrimp and grits and yard bird are positively amazing.
Trista KempaJune 13, 2015
Didn't get the signature dish, so I ended up so-so pleased. But my bf got the fried chicken and it was great, really unique flavor.
Josh JosephNovember 11, 2015
Helga's meatballs and ham soup are super delicious!

Great vibes and good service. The food needs some more TLC, but I would come back for the drinks and vibe anytime.

Totally unexpected that the best Swedish meatballs I've ever had would be found in Harlem! Pair it with the Brownstoner cocktail and ur all set!
SparkieSeptember 26, 2012
Harlem: Saturday and Sunday brunches hear are rumored to be incredible! Prices vary pending dish and cocktails.
Kevin TolliverJuly 26, 2015
-Wings better than the fried yardbird, cornbread and the gazpacho were incredible. HARLEM.
ThrillistJanuary 17, 2011
Head uptown for this new prix fixe mid-day meal featuring 3 courses: app/main/dessert, with dishes like Spicy Chili w/ creme fraiche for $17.
Isabella MayNovember 27, 2014
Amazing Thanksgiving lunch with a wonderful open buffet! Waiters were so kind!
DrewskiApril 17, 2015
I love wings, and these are possibly the best I've ever had. The sauce is incredible.
AmateurConciergeSeptember 20, 2014
Brunch: Migas with hot sauce. Or at least make sure you get the potatoes somehow
Jacqueline ToDecember 3, 2013
Luv the sweet potato doughnut. Service was fantastic
LindsayApril 9, 2011
The mac 'n cheese is, probably, my favorite in town. Never thought I'd love the greens blended in, but it works! Worth returning for, alone.
Bill O'LearyOctober 28, 2014
The appetizers and "snacks" are excellent. Fried chicken "yard bird" all dried out.
Esther ChoiOctober 22, 2015
So good!! The chicken and waffles were awesome!
Robert ThompsonSeptember 19, 2018
Being one of the first customers seated for evening dinner you would assume having spot on service & scrumptious food. But in my case the waiter had a language barrier & my food was prepared poorly😤
Turner CowlesFebruary 16, 2014
Mac & greens are out of this world, but be prepared to skip the booze before noon.
Veronica TMarch 24, 2013
A most satisfying experience for both body and soul! Excellent buffet, fantastic service, beautiful performance
Andrea ArterberyOctober 1, 2011
I'm not a huge fan of the food here, but I love the ambience. I always make new friends each time I go to the bar!
Monique LInderJanuary 10, 2016
The shrimp and grits and corn bread were heavenly... Just the right choice
The New York TimesMarch 8, 2011
Cornbread’s a must. Then? Duck-liver pudding: Discuss. (Yes.) Red Caesar salad: yes. Fried yard bird: Yes. Go malted for dessert. Read more

Fabulous Restaurant - Excellent Service - For starters try their gorgeous cornbread served with honey butter and tomatoe jam - scrummalious! Read more
Sir KensingtonAugust 9, 2011
The ketchup of choice here is Sir Kensington's! Try it with the yardbird and the steak frites. Finish off with Peanut Bourbon.
francine hardawayAugust 3, 2012
This is a hip, diverse bar crowd that is very friendly.Have the Harlem Chowder and the salmon.
Connie ChiuAugust 23, 2014
The lamb tostada and cornbread! Fried yardbird was only okay, but huge portion.
Princess de JesusAugust 9, 2015
Yard bird..the white gravy is very rich. Grits too is extra rich and creamy.
John NiedermeyerMay 14, 2013
The bar is up-for-grabs, if you want to eat w/o a reservation. So! Make sure you communicate that w/ the bartender, or they will FUCK you & give your place to someone they like better. #shitshow
Pedro UOctober 11, 2019
Brunch. Music. Vibes. Marcus’s food does not miss despite the tourists and noise
Wayne HewettOctober 23, 2018
Fish fry is the bomb. Incredible atmosphere in the bar area
José DucósMarch 1, 2014
Starting out with some cornbread is a must. Slather some butter for a powerful combination.
JoelAugust 12, 2013
Cornbread with honey butter really hit the spot. And the deviled eggs were outstanding.
Wade O COctober 18, 2011
Helga Meatballs, Yams, salad, Mac & Greens, and a half off the beer (during the happy hour.) Can't beat that!
RyanApril 3, 2015
Wings are bomb and bartenders are super awesome. Great music too.
Mimi D.March 20, 2016

Denise ShapiroJuly 6, 2012
If you loved Marcus at Acquvit you will adore the Rooster. Refined Comfort food, great crowd, cool music
Katherine BarnaDecember 15, 2012
Jerk bacon and egg at brunch is to die for. Sadly the Obama-tini doesn't live up to its name.
ExperiencesAugust 10, 2012
Corn bread mandatory. Obv. Mac and cheese, fried yardbird... It's top-notch and worth the trip.
Kimmie OhhDecember 30, 2019
Get the fried yardbird, three pepper steak & BBQ pork shoulder!
