“you think your grandma is in the kitchen. you really won't believe hiw good all the food is.“

“I am trying to get y'all down here so we can have a restaurant now here in Greenville South Carolina that will be something different to come down here to have one cuz they ain't never seen one like that before now here in Greenville South Carolina“

“Scrumptious food! And they're practicing and implemented covid-19 safety measures for their customers.“

“Hands down best soul food spot in NYC“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place truly deserves it. Every detail from the warm welcome at the door to the unforgettable flavors shows passion and authenticity. It’s rare to find somewhere that feels both like home and a luxury treat at the same time. I love their coffee and I always try different desserts every single one has turned out delicious, especially after asking the lovely owner for recommendations! ❤️ You won’t just taste the difference here, you’ll feel it. A must visit spot that raises the bar for everyone else in the area!“

“The food is locally sourced daily. They offer 4/5 delicious entrees with delectable sides. Service was warm & attentive. Can't wait to return!!!“

“Awesome food and like the most of their dishes“

“you think your grandma is in the kitchen. you really won't believe hiw good all the food is.“

“I was told about this spot thru a friend. I decided to check it out.
Food was very fresh, and tasty. I had the crab legs, shrimp, noodles, potatoes, and corn in a bag, with the signature sauce. So good!
I love the ambiance, music playing (not to loud) for you to bop your head to…but you can also have a conversation without yelling.
Service was on point and on time. For good food and chill vibes, I recommend ESO PESCO. I will definitely come again.“

“The food was delicious , service and staff were so attentive and accommodating , conveniently located a few blocks from Time Square .It is definitely a must in your next visit to NY .“

“This was my first time at Chef Rabbits place but I can already tell you that it won't be my last! I had the whiting fish sandwich and it was GOOD! My date had the chicken and Mac m cheese. All of the food was a hit! The concept of having a pop up restaurant in the middle of Harlem is genius! I can't wait to go back!“

“Excellent service and Plenty of options! Everything was amazing!“

“Great atmosphere, awesome music, prompt service, friendly staff and outstanding cuisine !!!“

“The hospitality is always on point when I dine there. The food is delicious. A nice small intimate setting. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.“

“100 percent recommendation“

“I had my 48 Birthday Dinner here with family and we all had a great time , food was amazing , DJ was rocking service was great and we had drinks& hookah 10 out of 10 I highly recommend 💪🏾“

“It was a little bit overrated if considering the price. Everything was fine but nothing stood out.

The signature soup rice was mild. For me it was a little bit watery, like the meat/ bone was not cooked into the soup.

Kimchi dumplings were delicious. The skin was pliable even it was thin. Kimchi has a nice flavor too.“

“From bread service to the check, everything feels right. The team delivers exceptional service! You'll appreciate the comfortable, clean, and visually pleasing space. The cooking quality went beyond expected levels. The food here meets expectations.“

“The atmosphere is lacking, but the food is good. It used to be great, and now lack consistency. The service leaves something to be desired.
I come for the smothered chicken, but I don't go as often due to the increased prices and decreased service.“

“We really liked the food, it tasted good and seemed like good quality. All five of us liked the food, even the vegetarians had a lot to choose from, the man working there was nice. The place is ordinary but if you want good food you can go there and eat or you can take the food with you.“

“If you have a taste, for some great home cooking, make your way to Maggie's! A small family run joint, where the food is made with soul and love! The meatloaf, yams and greens, are crave worthy and the cabbage, mac n cheese and ribs will make you wish you bought more! I have eaten Soul Food, from way South to NYC, in homes and restaurants and Maggie's rates up there with some of the most delicious, I've had. As they say down South, "they put their feet in that food"!!!“

“On a snowy Saturday, we enjoyed delicious food and friendly service here. Large brunch (including an entree, salmon cake, eggs, and mimosa or Bellini) was $26, which seemed reasonable for the quantity and quality of food. The shrimp and grits was delicious, as was the pancake entree. Small brunch, without the eggs or beverage, was $16. Would definitely return!“

“An absolutely wonderful experience at Stars n Elites! The food was exceptional, thanks to the talented Chef. A huge thank you to Oumou and Mohammed for their warm, attentive service that made us feel so welcome. I can't wait to come back“

“Title: Enthralled by Steppers Dance Group at Londel's in HarlemI had the pleasure of being invited to witness the incredible talent of a Steppers dance group at the renowned restaurant Londel's in Harlem. Despite a knee injury that prevented me from joining in the dancing, I was captivated by the mesmerizing performances I witnessed.The dancers displayed impeccable hand and foot coordination, executing intricate turns and movements with grace and precision. Their skill and passion for Steppers dance were evident in every step, creating a mesmerizing spectacle for all in attendance.The atmosphere at Londel's was electric, filled with excitement and energy as the dancers moved to the rhythm of the music. Although I was unable to partake in the dancing myself, I felt inspired and motivated to recover from my knee injury and return to the dance floor.Watching the Steppers dance group at Londel's was a truly unforgettable experience, and I am eagerly looking forward to the day when I can join in the fun and experience the joy of dancing once again after my knee surgery.I would highly recommend anyone in the Harlem area to visit Londel's and witness the incredible talent of the Steppers dance group for themselves. It is an experience that is sure to leave you in awe and leave you eagerly anticipating your next visit.“

“Great food. My sons first ramen. He really liked it.“

“If You Love Soul-Disco-Funky Music, the Ashford & Simpson's Sugar Bar is the Place For Your‼️🔊🎶🎵🎙️✌🏻🥇😍“

“We picked up some dinner here a couple of nights ago and it was exactly what we were looking for: delicious food with fast, friendly service. They even gave us little pieces of yummy cake and a bottle of water! (I think they may have heard us debating about dessert and an extra beverage and kindly helped us out!) We shared the lemon-pepper wings, mashed potatoes, and collard greens -- all excellent! We will be back. Highly recommend!“

“The best Jamaican food I have ever had, I traveled all the way from Boston and made it my mission. To eat here again! Soooo worth it. The food tastes amazing and the employees are extremely nice! I wish I lived in New York so that I could visit more often! Keep up the great work Big Tings!!!“

“The food was excellent. Thank you Earl. I will be back.“

“the restaurant says (poster outside) it accepts EBT card and also when we asked the staffs they said the same too. but when we ordered the food the staff said they dont accept EBT card, they only accept cash. Liar“

“Had a pasta and pizza and they were both amazing. We are from Australia and found it hard to find a good restaurant in the Marina bay sands area and this did not disappoint. 5 stars“

“we ordered 2 orders of fried catfish, 1 with sweet potatoe fries and 1 with Mac&cheese, and also a side of collards. everything was made FRESH. crispy and delicious fish & fries, super cheesey Mac and the collards we're great! not the first or the last time I will order from here. reasonably priced for fish around here.“

“It's an amazing experience

Vegetarian options: Jamaican foodReggae AckeeJammin CalalooItal StewRastaman Tofu

Dietary restrictions: Cook to orders based on your specifications

Kid-friendliness: They love kids there and they love the games choices available

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes plus ada bathroom“

“Just moved into the neighborhood and happy to find this local gem. Friendly and welcoming and food was 🔥. Highly recommend the catfish combo w/mac-n-cheese. They were out of collard greens and they substituted cabbage which was very tasty.“

“They hooked me up! Delicious food; good portions. I usually get oxtail from Jamaican restaurants. I'd say it's one of the top of the restaurants I've eaten from.

That said, oxtail is generally an expensive meat to buy and can be hard to cook right. So, it can be difficult to find places like this that give you a decent amount. And I've orderd from them a few times, so I can say their potion size is generally consistent from what I've seen.“

“Live band better Ac and make sure the women’s bathroom more cleaner“

“I dined with my boyfriend for Sunday brunch and we ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees. I felt like we had a good spread of the menu and overall the food was decently good, seasoned and fresh. The server however seemed to completely forget about us halfway through our brunch. No more drinks, no do we need anything else. I asked for the check and then actually waited 25+ min for the check. I will not be back, because of him.“

“The service is great pleasant people food good n service nice n hot Thanks“

“I had a great experience.. food was delicious. Anthony took my order and was so pleasant and patient. Anthony made sure I had everything I ordered he went over and beyond. Excellent service Five stars all day“

“everything stop by................................“

“I remember when it was a small luncheonette in East Harlem. It has several locations now and it hasn't changed. I love the food! I don't live in New York anymore, I live in Georgia now and NOTHING comes close. I loooove the red rice and beans, as well as the whiting. They are THE ONLY place I will get whiting because they fry the small to medium whiting that are DELICIOUS! Places out here like the large tasteless ones :( I could go on and on, when I visit home, they are the ONLY place I eat from. I miss them so much. I want this business to continue to thrive and the food appreciated.“
