“ I like this place. The burger is very good. Some burgers with toppings can be messy but not at this place. Love the fries as well! ”
“ Such a fun, old school vibe, a mix of both nostalgia and retro, a definite ode to the culture of Harlem. I'm adding a half star to make it 4 1/2 's. My partner is a a big fan of milkshakes. There are so-so milk shakes and then there are the luscious milkshakes. He had the cookies and cream shake which was, rich, flavorful, frothy, a frozen perfection. My partner had a classic hot dog and we shared the fries. The fries were nice and crispy with, the skin on. I had the "Snoop Dog." An all beef hot dog topped with chili and cheese. I don't eat hot dogs very often but, this one was worth the splurge. A tribute to Harlem and old New York. The service was very friendly and courteous. Next time we will try the burgers. We will be back. ”
“ Looks very retro and vintage and it's in the corner of Fifth Avenue of Park Slope. They have a location in Harlem and Park Slope. The Park Slope location has outdoor seating with a tent for shade and also a dog bowl for water in front of the restaurant. I ordered the Harlem Classic burger (beef patties with American cheese, onions, pickles, and special sauce) and Jerk Fries with Jerk Mayo for dine in. The burger came out looking very nice especially the bun is not wrinkly or messy. The beef is a thick cut and very juicy. Jerk fries on the other hand were kind of plain or bland. I couldn't taste the jerk seasoning and it lacked the spice. I should have opted for regular fries instead. Ambience is very casual and fun. Good for families and couples. Utensils and condiments are available on the counter so you don't need to ask the staff for ketchup or mustard or napkins. I couldn't finish my food and the staff was nice enough to give me boxes and a paper bag to pack it to go. Very friendly staff. ”
“ I recently visited Harlem Shake because of how much my daughter's friend talks about this place so I said let's give it a try. We were immiediately greeted as soon as we walked to the counter & offered menus. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries. I waited a few minutes before my food was brought over to my table. The burger looked so juicy & fresh and it definitely was! Everything about this burger was so good. The burger buns were so soft which in my opinion made the burger so much better. The fries were okay, nothing special about them. Just regular fries that were hot and tasted fresh. ”
“ I came here for the first time and ordered the classic smash burger. This was a solid smash. You are able to add a bunch of toppings for free as well as others that cost extra. The chili cheese fries were amazing. There was one employee that stood out to us. She gave great customer service and was very helpful. She was friendly at the door and continued to go out of her way to take care of us. ”
“ I ordered through Uber Eats for delivery and it did not disappoint. Everything was delicious and I think I found my new burger joint. I ordered the Hot mess but fearing it'll be too hot I opted out of the relish because I'm such a weak girl with heat but after trying those delicious smash burgers I really wish I would've gotten it just to try it. I also ordered a chicken sandwich and it was well seasoned and fried. I can tell it was brined nicely in some buttermilk. The coleslaw could use a little bit more flavor but it was very delicious overall. I'd come in person to eat because it's pricy ordering online for delivery but a little splurge here and there won't hurt. The hot dogs are also beefy and nicely grilled. ”
