Lexington Publick in Harlem is a fun spot to grab a drink and catch a game, but when it comes to the food, let’s just say it’s a mixed bag.
I arrived there with friends, with plans to hangout before we continue on with our nightly activities….🤣🤣🤣 what does that even mean? Ok, focus! First off, the food. The chicken nuggets and jalapeño poppers had a little too much of a “well-done” vibe for my taste. I appreciate a good char, but these felt more like they’d been through a culinary boot camp! The chicken slider was another surprise—$17 for a grilled piece of chicken that was more shy than flavorful. I was expecting a fried chicken slider, (since that’s the title of the sandwich) but it seems the kitchen had other plans. Oh, each slider came with one sliced pickle. And that’s it. Just chicken, pickle and aioli. The chipotle aioli? A bit of a ghost, really—not much to write home about.
Now, let’s talk about the fries. They were definitely the highlight of my meal! But shockingly, they didn’t come with the sliders, so I had to add them for another $9. I don’t know but by the time I finished, realizing I spent $26 on chicken sliders and fries, I couldn’t help but feel it was a tad on the pricey side.
However, the frickles (fried pickles) were a delightful find! They had just the right crunch and flavor, which gave me hope for the rest of the menu.
As for the atmosphere, it’s a great place to hang out! The chairs are comfy, and it’s a good spot to enjoy a game without feeling overwhelmed by noise, even when it’s busy. Plus, with no servers around, you’ll get to channel your inner bartender and head to the bar for your drinks, which is perfectly fine by me.
So, if you’re looking for a lively spot in Harlem to enjoy drinks and watch a game, Lexington Publick can be considered a solid choice. Just make sure to come with a light appetite, and if you’re craving something hearty, perhaps consider ordering in! Cheers! 🍻
