    When I arrived at the restaurant, the staff kindly told me that the conditions were not appropriate for the restaurant to have anyone eat there. So everyone left and ate someplace else.

    This was my first visit to Home Sweet Harlem. If you enjoy down home Southern cuisine, this is the place to go! The fish and grits served salmon croquette with a side of fried shrimp was delicious! I would definitely recommend this place when my family from the South visits again!

    Brunch at Home Sweet Harlem felt like stepping into a beloved family member's home for a heart-warming meal. The decor, ambience, playlist and service were superb. Our souls and bodies were nourished with delectable soul food, including the best, most buttery and flaky-in-the-best-way biscuits. To top it all of we were blessed to chat with the owner, Donna, whose warmth as a hostess is close second to her expertise as a chef. We will definitely be back soon!

    Wait service was slow and inattentive. Food service was incredibly slow (more than an hour wait although we only ordered two entrees) despite a number of open tables. Another family got up and left because they waited two hours but weren’t served. Drinks were not appropriate temperature (OJ warm). Overall, we left disappointed. The highlight of the outing was the ambiance, but the Jazz ended one hour into our reservation leaving an hour of silence. The food was unseasoned and slightly above room temperature once it did arrive which made no sense given the long wait. Unfortunately, we will not be returning as the entire experience was underwhelming and anxiety inducing.

    I made a reservation for 1:15. But we got there earlier than expected. It was around 12:15. We were told we had to be out by 1:30 to accommodate a party that had also changed their reservation. We agreed.The problem is it took a very long for the staff to take our order, to bring the food and bring the check.And even as we were waiting for the check multiple staff members were reaching over us grabbing plates without asking if we’re done. And when we left, there wasn’t anyone waiting for the table they were

    This place is cute and quaint. It reminded me of going to a small town restaurant in the south or the mid-west. Every table is different with mix-matched chairs. Very homey. My friend loved the black art on the wall. I had the pancakes which came with eggs and a salmon croquet which was by far the tastiest thing on the plate. The pancakes were just ok. Everyone else in my party seemed to enjoy the food. I didn't love it enough to go back especially because I thought the price was expensive.
