Lovely homey vibe and atmosphere. Our server Kat was amazing, and constantly checked in on us, making our experience even greater! The food was fresh, served hot, I can tell the chef took their time. Catfish & grits was really good and well seasoned. The chicken was a bit small but still packed flavor. I will definitely be back!

Miguel was incredible. So kind, welcoming, and truly made us feel at home. As a Southerner, I’m suuuper picky about my shrimp and grits, and these were top notch. Same goes for the biscuit and you should snag one to go. Our turkey bacon wasn’t too crispy, griddle cakes reminiscent of waffle house, and the music (whoever was on aux⚡️) made our first perfect. Thank you for a great start to our weekend <3

Very welcoming Staff, Food is top tier my new favorite breakfast spot. I got the Chicken and waffles with a Side of Grits. I haven’t had Grits in 10 yrs and this place made the wait so worth it, Great amount of salt and butter. The Waffles were fluffy and savory.

Home Sweet Harlem is a wonderful place for gatherings. Last Friday, we used this hidden gem space for a wedding reception. The owner, Donna, and her staff were very helpful and kind. The space fit the theme of the wedding reception. The restaurant was clean and spacious family and friends were comfortable and delighted with the decor of the space. The restaurant is very accessible. I highly recommend this space for various events. And I will be sure to go back in the near future. Thank you so much, Donna and your great staff, for the amazing hospitality and for making our event memorable and beautiful at your restaurant.

I just love it here at Home Sweet Harlem (HSH). My mom loved the food too. She was 89 when she passed this year. The owner Donna was so gracious and allowed us to have the repass at HSH. It was such a warm and familiar space and I know my mom was smiling as we ate all her favorites. What a lovely tribute and everyone really enjoyed the food.

Home Sweet Harlem holds a special place in my heart. I wanted the perfect venue to host my best friend’s Baby Shower and since we are Harlem natives, it was serendipitous that we found a place that took us back to our roots. We were able to rent the entire venue after hours on a Saturday and Ms. Donna and her staff were absolutely excellent! We had a full buffet brunch menu, complete with chicken, fish, shrimp, sausage, waffles, pancakes, eggs, potatoes, assorted drinks etc.- the entire spread was excellent. From the onset of the first call Ms. Donna was accommodating and organized. We discussed the seating capacity, the desired menu items, and add-ons. Prior to the event my sister and I went to brunch and sampled the menu in person. The food was so good that we decided to add on items! Ms. Donna had great communication via phone and email, which made for a very smooth event. On the day of the Baby Shower we were greeted by her staff and graciously allowed to enter early for the balloon artist to begin decorating. Her staff pre-arranged the tables to my specifications and cleaned and mopped as we were setting up to ensure that no unsightly florals were on the ground during the set-up process. We greatly appreciated the use her sound system to play our curated playlist as it saved us on musician/DJ fees. Her staff provided individualized drink service throughout the event and everyone noted how personable and kind they were-shout out to Tay, William, and Julian- you are jewels! The buffet was well organized and was served table by table for efficiency. I appreciate that she allowed outside food and beverage to compliment the included food package, and she even provided to-go containers for the remaining cupcakes for the guests to take. Having attended Home Sweet Harlem for both brunch and hosting for a catered event, I can attest that your experience will be top notch. At Home Sweet Harlem we truly felt at home and will be returning “home” very soon!

Me and my husband hosted our wedding reception at home Sweet Harlem. We love that we got the warm feeling of home and love when we walked into the space. Plus the aesthetic in that space is so nostalgic, black and powerful. It was very fitting for us as a Renaissance couple. Donna is such a wonderful person and her staff have great costumer service. I suggest y’all book your next event at home sweet Harlem God bless this lucrative business

A cute cozy spot in west Harlem, the food was tasty, but the service was terrible.
First, they didn’t have any menus or a QR code and the server didn’t tell me until they came to take my order and asked for the menu. So I had to pull up the website menu myself (not a big deal, but would’ve been nice to know right when I sat down).
Then, when I was ready to order the server let me know they had a catering order they were trying to finish and weren’t completing restaurant orders until that was done. Expected 10-20 min wait. I said ok and asked if they could bring me some toast (easy enough to get out in the middle of a big order) as I was in the verge of hangry. Toast never came, but it showed up on my check later.
The food eventually came, but I still did not have my coffee. The server did bring it upon asking when the food was dropped and they did come around to ask how it was pretty quickly after. But that was the last I really saw of them at my table the whole time I was there.
When I finished eating, I waited almost 10 minutes to ask for a box, check, and to go cup for my coffee (it was too hot to drink, so I barely had any of it). The box and cup never came, and the check came but it was the wrong one. When she brought the correct one, the toast I ordered and never got was on there. I waited for her to come back to adjust but didn’t wait long bc at that point I was tired of waiting so I went up to the counter. She gave a $5 discount (for the cost of the toast), but did not remove the toast from the ticket, so I’m pretty sure I still paid sales tax on it. And there was a 9% service charge that was not disclosed ahead of time. I have no idea what it was for.
I’m disappointed bc it’s a cute spot and the food was good, plus it’s walking distance from my new place, but I doubt I’ll be back with service that terrible.

Awesome place! Amazing food with a cozy atmosphere. The food was phenomenal- I had an omelet with grits and a biscuit, all of which was perfect. I went with a party of 7 people and they said the chicken sausages were delicious. I also have to note that their hot sauce was super tasty. All the staff is lovely and welcoming. Highly recommend coming here!

Sundays are our pancake days! And today I have discovered this place, which made my Sunday more memorable. Pancakes were soft, the chicken was properly seasoned and the addition of strawberries and syrup was amazing! Something that I like was not only the cozy vibes but the staff!! They adjusted my order however I wanted and gave me and extra pancake!! They are really social and charming, I’ll be coming back for sure! Please give a try to the chicken and cakes!!
