Harlem Bar-B-Q

Came here for a 90’s brunch. The DJ was fun, the ambiance was chill and the food was good. The packed event tanked the quality of service but thank goodness for ordering appetizers to thwart starvation.
My friends and I ordered the corn fritters, the mozzarella sticks, 2 catfish sandwiches, Mac and cheese, well seasoned meatless collard greens (Thank God) and a turkey burger.
Mac and cheese was too rich, like only «extra» sharp cheese was used… But hey, people seem to love it so its merely just my opinion.
We ordered Texas size margaritas and eventually had to «fat girl» roll ourselves out of the joint from being stuffed and intoxicated from the «big ass drinks» … All indicative of a great day indeed.
The worst part of the visit was the «trap house» bathroom… that only accommodates one person at a time which is clearly ridiculous considering the size of the spot. But at the very least it should’ve been updated and better maintained.
The tip was included on the bill, which I was surprised by but that delicious free cornbread made up for any issues I may have had for the rest of the day. Cute spot… Might have this Jersey girl check back next time I’m in Harlem… I’ll just use the bathroom when I get back home.

Great place to unwind from work or shopping with great menu options and excellent drink prices. The atmosphere could use more lightening. Definitely will be back to experience their happy hour.

Really good food. Stopped in randomly on the way to a meeting. Would go back again and again. Service was great, portions perfect and the sides were delicious. Even the homemade iced tea was something to write about. Check this place out!

I have been here twice recently. The food is yummy and the portions are large. The service was kind of lacking though. I once saw the bartender make my drink and leave it at the bar and then make a phone call. I then had to flag down my waiter to ask him if that was my piña colada just sitting there like that so he could bring it. The last time i went was just for drinks and the waitress then was more attentive. I have had delivery from them once a few years ago and it was terrible. the portions are much smaller than when you go there and the person that delivered on walked 2 blocks and thought $ 3 wasn’t enough. So if they still deliver, I wouldn’t recommend getting delivery.
It’s a great spot for taking the kids earlier in the day for lunch. They have tvs where you can watch the different sports. The honey fried chicken is delicious and so is the mac and cheese. They make big drinks like Dallas BBQ too. I would go back again because it is close by and tasty.

Happy hour Friday, Saturday and Sunday 12 – 4. During the week 12 – 7. Strong drinks. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Good laid back place. Music not too loud

I like to try new things, so yesterday I found myself in Harlem with two friends having the most amazing and juicy honey mustard chicken barbecue I have tried while in New York)
This place serves unsophisticated but delicious food. The kind you want to indulge in after a game or a movie with friends. Maybe not on a date though :)
Enormous portions, strong cocktails.
I saw some people commenting on service, but we were just so lucky with Fatima. She was nice to us in a genuine way and patiently took many pictures of us :) I definitely recommend this place.

This Place is Liiit drinks Are Strongg and Good Catfish Is the Besttttt mmm mmm mmmmm tooo good, mac and cheese soo Cheesey and Collard Greens are good too just wish they werent vegitarian collard greens use to my greens with a smokey flavor. A good loud environment everyone is there to have a good time. More of a neighborhood spot so ppl from across the street and up the block will b in there with friends. Honestly a good, cool, down to earth place to be

Attentive staff. Humongous proportions. Strong drinks. + they also serve cornbread after you order, I’ll be back next week for happy hour

I always have fun whenever I dine at Harlem BBB’s. The staff is extremely friendly and the environment is pleasing. Great place to be during a game, on fight night, or a starter spot for a girls night out. Their bar is fully stocked and the selection is on point!
The catfish bites and sweet potato fries are the best in my opinion. Their burritos are also a great choice.

The food was good. Mac and cheese with buffalo chicken is highly recommended. The cons The chicken and waffles were below average. They need more servers. The guy serving us was the only server. Our food took about 50 minutes to come. The server was polite and we could tell he was trying his hardest but the wait time was horrible. I would recommend if you’re in the area. The ambiance is relaxed.

Food– Ok. I had the fried shrimp and Mac and Cheese. The portion was great. Taste was satisfactory. My father had the BBQ chicken and ribs and he was underwhelmed. The corn fritters were really good.
Service– MEH. I never understand waiters with attitudes. I didn’t choose your occupation, you did.
Don’t know if I’d come back. Dinosaur BBQ is priced around the same as this place and is way more authentic.

So I came here for dinner and the food is still AMAZING ! Better yet it was even better. The ribs were tender and sauced and the ma and cheese is delectable and the greens when u add a little hot sauce are winners. The catfish was piping hot moist flaky and with the most delicious and light batter on them. This is my new go to BBQ spot. Everything was even better, and our server was attentive and very nice. No negative for here!

Harlem Bar-​B-​Q is the go-​to place. If I need a hot meal, an update on the game, and a large drink… my go-​to.
I love Harlem Bar-​B-​Q. They’ve done a lot of renovations and its a fun place. I love the ribsssss. The ribs are to die for here. They fall off the bone. They are are juicy. I love the ribs and mac and cheese.

Love the Catfish Nuggets!

I love it here the food is always good & great service. I wish they kept the other side still open. It could get a little crowded.

Went here for some late night drinks and food. The service wasn’t all that great considering we walked in seated ourselves and had to fetch our own menus. The bathroom was a bit creepy with a window (with no blinds or curtains) that faces what looks like an alley. And after two monsters I was sure going to catch someone looking at me.
Other than that, the drinks were amazing (aka strong) the food was ok too! I had the chicken chipotle quesadilla and my friend had the bbq chicken mac and cheese with sweet potatoes fries. We both had 2 frozen monsters (I think that’s what it’s called bc it isn’t on the menu) our total came up to about $ 75. Well worth it!

Stopped in here for a late lunch while exploring Harlem. Ended up being very glad we did! Everything we had was delish — ribs, wings, cocktails! And the server was a very kind older gentleman who made the experience even better.
The bathroom was a tad scary to be honest, didn’t seem to be as nice as the rest of the place but that is why one lines & hovers eh?
Cool pics on the walls. The wings were huge and they don’t skimp on the booze in the drinks! My sister keeps saying she wishes we could have their wings again!

I love Harlem BBQ! It’s so close to my job & so tasty. The drinks (esp during happy hour) are so good, plentiful, & strong. One regular sized margarita is usually good enough to give me a buzz. I’ve only eaten here twice, and the food is great. I recommend the quesadillas, the catfish bites (mmm) & of course the BBQ ribs.
I would give it 5 stars, but sometimes the wait staff can be so aloof, they often forget about you. And the bathroom could be cleaner :(Otherwise, support neighborhood businesses!

I came here to get a bite to eat before seeing a movie.
It took awhile for the waiter to come to is and we were in a rush so that was kind of annoying. You are supposed to get 10% off with a Unilocal check in and the waiter acted like no such thing existed. We got the whole «let me check with my manager but I don’t think so» talk. He came back and said that we had the wrong address then he said he was kidding. Maybe on a day when we weren’t in a rush it would have been funny– but turned out to just be another annoyance. The service was kind of slow in general (but the place was also packed so maybe that’s a good sign? I’m not sure).
I decided to order the shrimp tacos because I wasn’t too hungry. And good thing I wasn’t. I think they gave 3 small shrimp per taco. The toppings were pretty good but they seemed to double up on the corn tortillas (took away from the flavor so I separated the extra tortilla). I also got a side of greens. They were good but overpriced for the amount you get.
They seemed to have some Dallas BBQ-​esque drinks. Most people there had them. I would def try one if I was going back.
Overall, it’s definitely not a place I would rush back to but I’d give it a chance to try an actual meal.

First time here and I received 10% off the bill because I checked in. How cool! :) I decided to grab something to go and the wait was too long but worth it. The buffalo chicken mac and cheese is excellent. Succulent! I’ll definitely be going back to try their wings!
