It was my first time eating here. Has a nice vibe with good music. Great customer service 👍🏼 food was good. Shake was good. Place has a retro feel to it. Ordered the Harlem Classic, Snoopdog hotdogs and Jerk fries.

Food was good I got the Harlem Classic truffle fries and Red velvet strawberry milkshake. My only complaint was the straws for the milkshake were terrible. It was too much work trying to drink it.

Just had Harlem Shake and it was so good. The food always hits different fresh burgers, crispy fries, and the shakes are on another level. One of those spots you go to when you want real flavor and a good vibe. Definitely a place worth stopping by if you’re around Harlem. 🍔🥤🔥

First place I went to when I came to Harlem. I got the regular burger, regular fries, and the Harlem shake (velvet cake) and it was really good. I will be coming back whenever I visit NYC again. The bathroom also has nice decor that are framed on the wall.

Harlem Shake was absolutely delicious! I went there on a Saturday night and was pumped that it wasn’t too over crowded and that I didn’t have to wait forever to get my food. We ordered at the counter and then grabbed a booth inside - and got to see a lot of great signed photos of celebrities and entertainers who had visited this location along the walls. The decor was straight out of a 1950s burger shop and the food was so good. I got the regular burger and fries and The Harlem Shake - a red velvet milkshake that was incredible. My friend got the yam fries that were even better than the regular fries! Highly recommending going to this place when you’re in the area! If I lived nearby I’d be getting takeout or delivery from here all the time!

This place is absolutely magical. When you visit the USA this is exactly what you are looking for. Old school style bistro with typical dishes. The food was delicious, the shake was the best I have ever had. A piece of history and delicious food in one place.

Havent had a shake in about 15 years. This was amazing...im gonna pay for it but damn wow. My only issue with this place is that I didnt know such cheap straws existed...you just gotta think about taking a sip from these Harlem Shake straws and they crack in half. Hot mess Burger and fries was great signature taste and blend of meats.

While visiting we decided to stop here for lunch. I got a beef smash burger and my husband, turkey. The burger was pretty good. I was told the turkey was good also. We got fries on the side. My sweet potato fries were actually cold. I really didn’t feel like going back up there so I just ate a few and ate my husbands fries, he had regular ones. Constructive criticism, I would suggest a better system of calling your customers. I mean, idk if that’s a staple thing for the establishment to yell the names, but just sitting there observing, people do not hear their names especially when they were sitting outside. Nevertheless, if I were in the area and wanted a burger, I would stop by.

Burger was pretty good. Serving size was just right too. Not too big nor too small. The chili cheese hotdog was delicious and juicy. The bread they use is very soft. The ambience is of the 50's style. Price is very reasonable. Definitely a good choice for a meal.

Got a classic burger and fries here and they were fantastic. The burger was a smaller portion but honestly the perfect size and tasted fantastic. I also got a red velvet shake and it was okay, but not worth the price to me. Service wise, the employees were nice but it took a long time for my food and then my shake to come out.

Good place, Burger was crunchy and juicy. My homie enjoyed it too.

Highly recommended. This becomes one of my FAV burger now. The Harlem velvet shake is also amazing!!

The food was good. But buyer beware the “classic hamburger” comes with mayo and cheese. I ordered my wife the classic hamburger thinking it was Lettuce tomato but no, this ruined my Saturday as my wife had a complete meltdown over wasting money here. I ate most of the food myself - it was pretty solid. Wish the big menu was more descriptive

I visited Harlem Shake in late September and early October 2025. I’ve always walked by this restaurant while in the area and always wanted to try it. I finally decided to give it a try. When we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by staff. From the moment we walked into the establishment I loved the atmosphere. We waited about 5 -7 mins in line before finally getting to the register. Once we placed our order the representative at the register flipped the screen to ensure our order was accurate. I think all restaurants should do this to ensure the accuracy of customer’s orders and also to ensure food is not going to waste. We decided to dine outside at first, I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to hear my name. But they were loud enough for me to hear outside. I also received a text message when my order was ready. During my first visit I ordered a cheeseburger and the C-dog which is a grilled hotdog with sauerkraut and mustard. I requested it well done like the burger. The burger was absolutely delicious and grilled to perfection just the way I love it. My hot dog was also grilled to perfection my only complaint was they put too much mustard on the hotdog which made it drown out the other flavor and also really mess. They also stacked a whole bunch of sauerkraut on the hotdog that I had to take some of it off. I decided to try a milkshake since people raved about it. I had the Black & White and my aunt had the cookies and cream. Let me tell you they both weren’t good save your money. I ended up washing down my food with the water I was carrying around. My aunt also had a Froze I wasn’t a fan of it as I’m not a drinker and it solely tasted like straight alcohol. When I visited again in October, I ordered the Classic Fried Chicken Sandwich and it had absolutely no flavor. I only tasted black pepper. It was too bland for such a chucky piece of chicken. I was very disappointed. I don't think I'd order this again. I ordered another hot dog but forgot to say I wanted it well done. It was okay this time they put the right amount of ketchup but again way to much sauerkraut. I decided to try their Shirley Temple Soda. I’m warning you now do not order this. If you’re like me expecting the Shirley Temple you order at a bar/restaurant this isn’t it. I don’t know what this taste like. The store accepts both cash and card. It’s also accessible via public transportation. I say give it a try.

I liked my experience overall at this restaurant. The service was nice. The wait for food was a little long but I didn't mind, it was pretty busy in there. I loved the retro vibe of the place, super cool! The bathroom had a cool design as well, but it was a long wait as there was only one. I tried the mama's fried chicken sandwich, curly fries, and vanilla milkshake. All very delicious! Unfortunately I couldn't try the red velvet milkshake since they ran out of ingredients. They had a live band playing outside too, that was fun! It was a little more on the expensive side, but not overly so. I would definitely come back to try other things from the menu.

While the food is really good, the service is really bad. I would rate the food a four out of five and the service of one out of five. I got their hot mess burger in addition to their french fries. The burger was exceptional. It had sweet, relish, as well as really crispy and savory beef. It was a perfect ratio of ingredients and was super fresh and flavorful. The fries were also really exceptionally great. They were perfectly fried and had so much flavor. The reason this place only gets three stars is because the service was terrible. When I got there, it took at least 15 minutes for any of the workers to decide to help me. Several of them looked my way with distain, and would not come over to help take an order. Once I did place my order, they still were very unfriendly throughout the entire experience. Personally, I would only order food to be delivered from here to avoid interacting with the staff.

This place has a really fun vibe, but honestly the food is pretty mediocre. I really wanted to like it, but $9 for essentially a smash burger was a bit much. 2 burgers and a shake =$30

Food was ok. Fairly priced. The place could use a little cleaning unless that’s part of the charm. I had the kids burger meal with a mini shake. For me it was just the right portion.

Food is decent, but beware if you pay in cash. The cashier tried to shortchange me by $10 and only gave it back after we confronted them. Very dishonest.
