Real good Southern comfort food in a cool venue. If the weather permits chill outside and soak up the Harlem vibe. Crispy chicken really hit the spot. Roxy behind the bar was a gem. Very solid 9/10.
Marcus Samuelsson hit a grand slam. The ambiance is terrific; like a contemporaryspeakeasy. The food is even better. Try the mac & greens, crayfishgrits, red caesar, and the dirty rice & shrimp!
came to celebrate the other night, and we did. it's all delicious (split the fried bird royale if you can: it's for 3 people), the service is great, and the music's on point. 10/10 would recommend
Delicious mix of Northern and Southern comfort food served up by Swedish/Ethiopian chefMarcus Samuelsson's. Helga's spicymeatballs, hot fried chicken and waffles, Harlem Chowder...go there hungry!
We had the cornbread with maple butter which was like dessert, along with the deviled eggs which were delicious, lunchprix fix $30. Fried chicken and shrimp with grits. Delicious! Did not disappoint!
Every single dish was phenomenal. The cold corn chowder was unique and amazing. For dessert, actually preferred the Tiramisu to the RumPineapple Upside down cake.
Todo lo que probamos estaba espectacular, especialmente el shrimps and grits y el cornbread son "epic". Músicasalsa 70s ese dia. El único pero quizá sea el tamaño y ubicacion de algunas mesas.
Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. When in doubt, fried chicken (it’s a 1/2 chicken!), Mac & cheese. Roxxy the bartender is amazing, super attentive and friendly!
His menu has Southern comfort food such as biscuits, cornbread and fried chicken, as well as some Scandinavian classics such as Helga’s meatballs, and Gravlax. En savoir plus
#1 all respect to Marcus. Great vibe, ambiance, community #2 food is good, but not lifetime of hype good. My fav was chicken and waffles. But 💯, the gold standard for friend chicken is still Popeyes.
Start with the corn bread and collard greens for the table. The preserved lemon Aleppo chicken was delicious and a healthy option. Go downstairs to Ginney's Supper Club after for live music & drinks!
To start, try the deviled eggs...simple and delicious. The lamb ribappetizer is a tasty and spicy way to get the dinner going. And the oxtailpasta only leaves you wanting more. Loved everything.
The food is amazing!! Corn bread hits the spot and the fried chicken ugh to die for! Just keep in mind that it's a long wait but you would be happy you waited :)
How do they make that Yep chicken & waffle so good?!? The chicken is so crispy, tender, juicy, and just a bit spicy with a little sweetness in the waffle to compliment it. Amazing
During Fall/Winter try their old fashioned spiced Swedish Glögg cocktail/drink (which is basically a warm red wine drink with a conglomerate of spices in it. They have the recipe down to perfection!
One of Harlem's best soul food spots, Red Rooster features a gospel group that performs on the weekends. The Yard Bird is a must have, but don't forget to make a reservation.
Great for private events. They hosted my wife's birthday brunch and it was perfect. They have a great atmosphere, southern cuisine, and friendly staff. The best spot in Harlem. Highly recommended.
Their corn bread is excellent. Soft, great crust, and a certain rawness about it that brings out the most flavor you could expect. The tomato jam they serve with it is excellent as well.
Solid food & drinks (Loved the Fried YardBird), but this is a must see place for the almost too good to be true vibe & atmosphere. Hang at the bar to really take it in. Totally worth the trip uptown!
The Yard Bird was even better than I expected. Delicious greens and the creamiest mashed potatoes I've ever had. The cocktails are strong, try the Brownstoner!
Swedish chefMarcus Samuelsson’stown house in Harlem serves a mix of multi-culti comfort food (fried “yardbird,” cured meats, and fish tacos). It's every bit as fun and stylish as the chef himself.
Start off with a signature cocktail, and then I recommend the crabcakes, fried yard bird, or salmon. The pumpkin cake was soft and decadent. Portions seemed just right, and everything hit the spot.
Such great energy here. DJ was setting up when we left for the Apollo, but good times were infectious. Or maybe it was the cocktails. I had an Obamatini and Negroni both delicious and packed a punch.
Located in the heart of Harlem, Red Rooster serves comfort food celebrating the roots of American cuisine and the diverse culinary traditions of the neighborhood. — Mamajo
One of the best restaurants in New York City a must visit, don't forget to try the Helga's Meatballs Atmosphere is amazing and Chef Marcus is quite a gentleman, check out the bar downstairs JAZZ
Marcus Samuelsson's hotly anticipated Harlem global soul food joint is luring the food lovers and critics from across the city uptown. It's totally worth the trip. [Eater 38 Member] En savoir plus
The gospel brunch is great, although a bit pricey! The singers are extremely talented (although I was hoping for a longer performance), and the buffet is incredible and has all the Southern classics.
Everything you want in a night out! Great bartenders, skilled & very engaging. Incredibly talented musicians and an overall fun crowd. Next time I'll be back for dinner!
Believe the hype and make the trek. The corn bread is amazing. As is the dark meat fried chicken plate. Live jazz music and friendly crowd make for a great night out. Can't wait to go back.
It was very tasty and everything was perfectly seasoned-best thing was the mac/greens and brussel sprouts, but it just felt very commercialized + quite pricey!! Go to amy ruths for more authentic vibe
Red rooster has a very friendly staff and a very delightful ambiance. I had the pork and beans with a fried egg and pickledcabbage, it was delicious! They also had a wonderful band playing at 11am!
Deviled eggs, fish& (cheese) grits are great . Yard chicken is still good just not mindblowing like expected. Live music. Full bar. Awesome staff and one of the places with the best hospitality
Definitely worth a trip. Always have the fried chicken, even if just wings as an appetizer, you will not regret it. All portions are good, so prepare to leave full.
Thigh and drumstick were huge and delicious. Would go back for those. Mac&greens tasted good but Mac was overcooked so not much texture. Any drink can be made into a mocktail.
What happens when an Ethiopian born, Swedish bred chef tackles Southern comfort food? it's all good. Never thought grilled Grouper could displace catfish alongside my grits but was I wrong. Must go!
This place is a scene with eclectic decor and incredible food by famed Chef Samuelsson. Sit at the bar to take in more of the ambiance. Order a side of the Mac & Greens.
The pre-fixe lunch is a clear winner. Get the radishsalad, then follow up with Helga's Meatballs (best cucumbers on the planet). Finish it off with the raspberry tart and get a pic with Marcus S!!!
Bourbon infused cocktails are good. Mac and cheese is intense but delicious. It's a fun spot with a good time vibe. Save room for the sweet potatodoughnuts for dessert!
Amazing meal! Ambience is great and the food is too! Had the cornbread, salmongazpacho, and strawberry shortcake w/ homemade ice-cream. Definitely recommend checking out this jewel in Harlem.
Один из главных поводов поехать в Гарлем. Не самый дешевый, но для пробы можно поехать в обед и взять ланчсалат или суп на выбор, горячее и десерт. По меню порции огромные, учтите)
Cornbread and sweet potatopudding was like having dessert for starters 🤩 gravycroissant and yardbird were delicious with the fried chicken impressively seasoned different for both
Difficult to get a walk in seat on weekends. Highlights of our meal include: fried yardbird and mac n greens. You can also order a side of grits (not on menu)
Amazing fried chicken at brunch but super un-amazing weekend reservation policy (they now don’t take brunchreservations). That’s a little ridiculous and I’ll pass from now on...
A bit overpriced for the small portions. The collar green mac and cheese was the best dish we had. The Sunday Gospel Brunch is actually downstairs in Ginny's Supper Club. Upstairs is just live music.
Esquire: You can’t really attempt to “drop in” for a quick snack of yardbird or shrimp & grits, because before long you’re caught up in conversations with neighboring tables...
