    Enjoyed the food the Piccadilly, crab cakes, corn bread and wings were delicious and the Pink Lady Mocktail was delicious. The DJ 9am was awesome the music made the evening special. The only thing missing was a dance floor. Our waitresses provided great service. May only issue is the noise level. Very hard to hold a conversation

    Overall the food, drinks, and service all great. The food came out within minutes and was delicious. A bit pricey, but typical for NYC. Only complaint is that the music is so loud you can barely hear the person speaking next to you. It’s as loud and dark as a night club in there. I would give this place 5 stars if wasn’t for the ambience.

    EVERYTHING had lots of sugar in it. The corn bread, the greens, even the fried chicken coating. All way too sweet. They charge for a glass of water. With no ice. They charge $6 for a simple glass of unsweetened tea. With no free refills. We went out of our way to get to eat there and were and were highly disappointed. Will not go back.

    Cannot say enough great things about our meal at Red Rooster. Live in Denver & was in town with family for the Nuggets/Knicks game and topped the day off with dinner in Harlem. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Fabulous!

    Red Rooster HarlemResponded 7 days agoHi Tod, Tough loss (guessing you are a Nuggets fan)! However, we hope the memory of your fabulous meal at Red Rooster Harlem is your lasting impression of this visit to NYC. We look forward to seeing you again the next time you are in town for a game (or any other reason!). We wish you safe travels and happy returns. All the best, The Red Rooster Harlem Restaurant Team

    We have been wanting to visit here every since we saw Chef Marcus on TV during the pandemic. The work he was doing in the community really spoke to us. We said if we ever made it to Harlem, we would make sure to stop in. We were blessed enough to make it & it was worth it. We loved just how lively it was in there. We loved the decor, the service and most importantly the food. It felt like a big warm hug with each bite. We were going to a show or else we would have taken all of our leftovers :-).

    We’re traveling from California and are fans of Marcus Samuelsson. We’ve always wanted to try the Red Rooster. The cocktail was delicious and we appreciated the nice selection of thoughtful non-alcoholic beverages as well. The food did not disappoint and the portions were plentiful. I definitely would return on my next visit!

I’d definitely come back the next time we are in NYC.

    Deviled eggs, cocktail (Yes, chef), catfish + beans were great; ceviche + chicken sandwich fairly average; service was attentive without being annoying (which i love!), and the DJ was awesome. Main complaint: drinks came out after the appetizers. Nevertheless, would recommend.
