Good food, good service, good atmosphere, and an excellent price above all 👌🏼 A cozy place with an outdoor option but with good protection, I ordered these two dishes and the truth was all very delicious💯
So I’m not from this side of NY but I ventured up here since a friend was in town. Didn’t know much about a Corner Social but what I realized is that it’s a “Turn-Up spot”. You’re not there to have a food experience but it is definitely a vibe.They have the quintessential appetizers from fried calamari to wings. I was shocked that they had lobster bisque and French onion soup. I started off with that and was pleasantly surprised. The French Onion Soup was DELICIOUS. It kind of went down hill from there…food didn’t really do it for me but the music was off the chain.
Great experience! We (Black people) always talk about customer service and this place had Great friendly and timely customer service. Food and drinks are AMAZING! Thank you Harlem
Great drinks, great atmosphere, and great music can only be topped by great service!!!!!Go to the bar!House margaritas and prickly pear margaritas for the win!!
Has been and remains one of my favorite neighborhood haunts. Good vibes, great food, jamming DJ. A great place to just chill with friends
This restaurant is no doubt one of the best place to eat in the area. Every time I visit this place I am remarkably happy. They preserve their high level service and the highest level of dishes they serve. You will be always satisfied with this place. Warmly recommended.
Went to the Apollo theater and ran across this gem. Vibe is nice. People nice. Service is fast. They don’t charge for entry and prices are reasonable. I will come back when in town.
Great spot, love the food it was very tasteful and drinks were on point as well. The atmosphere is very cool with great throwback music. It can get crowded and cluttered but on the weekdays its good.Divine the hosted was awesome and friendly made sure we got seated right away and even let us choose our table that was available near the window instead of sitting us in the center where we was originally suppose to sit - that was a super plus. A++Our server was friendly and down to earth as well. Our food was great. The lamb chops were very good enjoyed them, chicken avocado sandwich was great not dry at all, chicken quesadillas had flavor as well. Overall was great I was satisfied.For the first time going I was truly impressed honestly. Had a great time.
Good music. Nice atmosphere.. Good food
The food is pretty good, in my opinion the mixed drinks are even better (especially the colada’s) I tried the black bean burger which was alright. I am a pretty picky eater so the next person may like it better but the ambiance was everything!! Love the lighting and the sealed in outdoor patio. We ate outside and even during the rain it was beautiful, love the decor. The manager checked up on us to see if everything was good. Be aware that they don’t have a lot of options when it comes to gluten free meals.
The fried chicken and waffles were fried perfectly. The flavor was perfect. The cutlet and the crust were both seasoned well. The mac and cheese was also tasty but soupy and artificial. The jerk chicken wings were delicious. I do not recommend the crab cakes as they were small and not filled with lump meat, instead tuna like meat.
R&B from the 90s, delicious food and drinks with reasonable prices- what more can you ask for?? I ordered the Prickly Pear margarita which was nice and strong with a a fruity flavor in addition to the Harlem Love Punch. Very sweet and yummy. the Lobster Bisque was so on point and crab cakes my favorite. They had a little too much filler and not enough flavor but we’re still ok.. Yum!!! Ordered extra bread which came piping hot , soft and delicious for my bisque. I was so pleasantly surprised and pleased with the atmosphere, food, drinks and shout out to DJ E. Class. I’ll be coming back!!
[July 2016] Went for lunch. Decent food, nice setting, outstanding wait staff - all of them!I had the Shrimp & Grits which is one of their most popular dishes. The shrimp was just okay but the sauce, roasted red peppers and sausage made a delicious combination of flavours.The only downside to my meal was that it took well over 30 mins for my order to arrive. Not sure if this is usual or not.Thanks again to the staff for making it such an enjoyable experience!
This place is a bit too unprofessional for me and my two girlfriends. The male staff is unprofessional. The music system needs an upgrade and the service is too slow. They were unorganized and didnt seem like they enjoyed working there.If you are an educated women of color in her 30s, past on this place. There are so many more options for a less problematic night with your girls.
I can’t say I had a good experience, sorry to say the waiter was all over the place he barely addressed my table. The heat lamps didn’t work, there was a water bug on the bar they didn’t have enough cups to serve coffee. If it wasn’t for the fact that I had a large family gathering there I would have simply left but I will never visit this place again
Ambience and DJ was great. Food and Drinks pricey but ok I had pan seared salmon it was not that great but cost 30 bucks. I was in NY from Dallas Tx.
Came here on a Sunday around noon and we were seated immediately. Started off with some mimosas and great nachos. I ordered the Fried Chicken and Waffles, which tasted pretty good - but the waffles were disappointingly thin and small, plus you have to ask for syrup if you want it. Had some bites of a friends Croque Madam and it was ok; felt like they couldve used better bread - it was pretty Wonder Bread-ish. The fries on the side were great though. Overall, the atmosphere was nice, service was ok (couldnt get the servers attention a couple of times), and the food was satisfactory. Not sure if Id come back, but it was nice enough for a 4/5.
The service is good and so is the music but it is a bit too loud. I dined in with my husband- we ordered 2 6pc wings, chicken salad, garlic fries a glass of Malbec and a harlem vice cocktail. I think the food was ok- the drink was too sweet (harlem vice) and the chicken salad was decent but had too much dressing which made it a bit salty. On the other hand, the wings were good because we asked for them to be cooked well. Overall , I believe that their food is a hit and miss. I have visited corner social many times and will continue to return because their waiters customer service is skills are great.
Exceptional! The food was amazing and came out quicker than I expected. Only thing is that I wish I had more ravioli, otherwise it was great. I also had a virgin strawberry daiquiri and that was super good.
Great eclectic atmosphere of all generations, genders and orientations!!Strong drinks!!! I love the Harlem Punch!!! The staff is incredibly friendly!!!Im a local here in Harlem, so if it was bad I would do tell ya!!+
The meal and atmosphere were both fine, but the service was very slow and not responsive. We waited a long time to receive drinks, have our orders taken, receive the check, pretty much everything. For a small place, they should be able to manage this better. We had to wait 20 minutes for the new bill to come through. I wasnt too impressed about that. Other than that, the place is lovely.
Outdoor seating on sidewalk effortlessly blends into a lowlight, chilloutmosphere inside. Its not a brew pub but its got a decent drink selection. Food is good. Beats and service are excellent. I enjoy the happy hour drinks and lamb salad is killer!
Was just here yesterday 10/13/17. Had a wonderful experience at this excellent establishment! Friendly staff, very welcoming and attentive! The crowd was mixed, the food was spot on, the drinks were super strong and their Happy Hour was on point!I’ll definitely be returning! I’m a very satisfied customer, and highly recommend The Corner Social!
Nice spot, music is cool. The drinks are delicious (Cesar) makes good drinks! Plus he is nice on the eyes. Lol
Service is Slow and needs to be worked on because wait staff is fun, friendly and helpful. Food and drinks are Amazing and worth the wait! Music is on point!! Lively and fun place to spend time with family and friends. Check them out!
Always a good time. Good food. Good service. Manager and staff makes the experience amazing. I recommend it highly
Ambiance was amazing, age group 30 up Bartender was fast and accurate, and Handsome 😍 DJ was Phenomenal
Music, drinks and food were good. Really nice crowd for an early Friday evening. Would definitely go back again.
The food was great but the service was a little slow. We asked at least 4 times before our water was refilled. The shrimp and grits were delicious and so was the crab cake and shrimp salad. Well definitely go back for the food and music.
Corner Social is the place to go for just about everything youre looking for. Dont sleep on their food menu- everything is cooked fresh daily. Good drinks, a fun atmosphere and a dance floor wherever you happen to stand, especially on a Friday or Saturday night. Im local to the neighborhood and frequent here every week.
Banging brunch!!! Although you pay separately for your unlimited drinks and your meals, I had an amazing time. The DJ is the bomb!!!! I was dancing from beginning til the end literally. If you want mimosas thats an additional $25 on top of your meal and if you want to switch between mimosas, rum punch and sangrias thats an additional $35
Sunday BrunchGood location near the 2/3 trains. Also accessible from the many crosstown buses.Restaurant gets crowded. Sometimes you’re luck and get a seat right away and other times you’ll have to wait.Shrimp & grits was very tasty. Just needed to be more hot. Drinks was good and mixed perfectly. I also tried the truffle fries, which was okay. The calamari was pretty good as well.
This place was Vibrant and had super tasty drinks. Our server was cool, chic and super fast. Great food and drink
Good atmosphere, good food, and great music. White Sangria was good; however, you will save money if you purchase a pitcher compared to a single glass. The service is okay especially if they are busy. We had to wait over 20mins to order another drink at our table. We had a good time listening to a variety of music.
I would give it a 3.5. I went to brunch on my birthday..Personable staff, nice atmosphere. There was a live DJ...music just a little loud if you want to have a conversation. Large portions but the food was just ok, it was missing something. I had the spinach dip....definitely had better. I had the steak and eggs. Waiter missed my side of bacon as well. I asked for well done but it was a little burnt. My friends nachos was tasty and a huge plate. I would use a different type of chip for nachos and spinach dip. Also tasted the shrimp and grits, it was also missing something. They did play Happy Birthday for me and the DJ gave me a shout out which was cool.
First customer service was outstanding 👏.The food was okay, I guess based on the good pictures of food that are posted on their website makes you want to eat there. However the food is not that good, we ordered garlic fries and it just taste like garlic powder we were expecting garlic butter and herbs to be all over the fries. The drinks were good too, could of been more creative. Couldnt give more than 2 stars because I really didnt like the food.
A local spot for years and all is welcomed. They have good music, food, and good people. A little crowded for my taste but it does not take away from the good services. The staff are always helpful. This a great place to hang-out with friends and meet new people.
Great brunch although alot of what on menu doesnt exsit and management/ owners havent made update. At first I was very annoyed bc I went on the website and drove 1.5 hours to get there so someone needs to make updates to the website
We were in the neighborhood and found it on Google. Has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Food was decent. Drinks were enjoyable. A real melting pot of people.
Food was good. They just have to correct the menu. Online was a different menu then the one at restaurant.
Opened the spot up for brunch on Saturday. Enjoyed my drinks and the DJ at noon. Came back on Sunday for brunch and more drinks. Had a really good time.
Good food and atmosphere
Good food. Okay service. We went after work and were told about the happy hour but werent told about the 2 hour window for which we would be seated. After our 2nd round, the waitress brought the check and we were confused as to why, thats when she explained thr 2 hour seating window.
Food - Great: The Argentina empanadas were quite tasty and seasoned very well. The baby back ribs fell of the bone and you could tell they flavored and spiced their bbq sauce - Yes Chef! Sweet plantain size could be smaller and thinner, which would add to texture.Service - Below Average: I was a little thrown off by the full pat down search by the door at 9pm on a Thursday for dinner. It took over 15 minutes for my server to notice me sitting outside and then over 15 minutes to receive my gin and tonic. Server with conroes and bottom half of his head shaved handed me the bill without a thank you or any words or eye contact at all, let’s train this young man ASAP please!Overall - Recommend. While a lot of people come for the amazing trendy music and urban crowd, I wouldn’t sleep on the food. The food was the highlight of my experience and review. It’s worthy of it’s location across the street from the greats. If in uptown, Corner Social is a NYC destination!
Came here on a Saturday for dinner with a large group for a friend’s birthday. I was afraid that because we were a large group that the service wouldn’t be that great but it was fantastic. We had a prefix menu from which I ordered the empanadas, penne a la vodka and the brownie a la mode. I enjoyed the beef empanada more than the chicken. I was pleasantly surprised to see there was shrimp on the pasta since there was no mention of it on the menu. It was one of the better penne a la vodkas I’ve had. The dessert was good although I wish the brownie had been warm. There was a live DJ playing all the best music just creating a great vibe in the place. All in all a good dining experience I will definitely return.
It was such a disappointment to have been verbally assaulted, unnecessarily, for a table that was rightfully ours to be had. There was a tall, lean, presumably manager-esqe man who claimed he was the owner and wanted to withdraw the table we waited for (for over an hour). The customer service, safety for women in general, were non-existent. As a native New Yorker, this was such a disheartening experience. We wont be returning and we advise women to avoid this establishment at all costs.
The food was okay, and the music great however when it comes to their POS system and how they calculate/split checks I do not like. So be prepared for one person to pay for it all one. Also the manager helped us more than our server
Best chicken and waffles I’ve had yet 😭. I ended up here from a recommendation from a friend about trying their bottomless mimosas. They actually don’t have them anymore which we were told once seated. Since we travelled from lower Manhattan to Harlem we decided to stay.I’m glad we did. The chicken was so well seasoned, it was amazing however the waffles were a bit few. The fruit was very fresh. I did get a mimosa made with pineapple which I really liked.The service wasn’t good, which I was confused about because it was 10am and we were 1 of 3 tables. My sisters drinks never came out until reminded after we got our food, and we always had to call someone for help. Our server was extremely apologetic and did provide us with complimentary drinks, but seeing as we had somewhere to be, we didn’t have much time to enjoy it.It’s in a community oriented neighbourhood which we were so intrigued by. I would say, if you reserve at this restaurant, definitely go when you have time to kill and you’re not in a hurry to be out within 2 hours.
This resturant was on point. A resturant has to have several aspects that give them a 5 star rating. 1. Host. The host was gracious and extremely courteous. My friends and I asked to be moved from outside to inside and the host was very accommodating. She was super sweet. 2. Live DJ., music inclusive and their was something for everyone. Good food. My friends and I went for brunch. As starters we ordered loaded nachos, quasidilia and spinach dip. There was so much good food and huge portions, we could bearly eat our main course. I had an egg and sausage burrito. Beyond yummy. It came out pipping hot. Simply delicious.Our server was very nice and the Manager took the time to bring our table extra silverware. When you need to do brunch, this is the spot to hit up. You wont be disappointed.
Food was missing some spark, it was not bad but something was not making it great. Drinks and music though, really on point!
Had pasta the sauce was watery to me and could have been more creamy, the henny colada’s was just a colada had no taste of henny at all . I also got two more drinks me and a friend hers were better than mine but they both in all was still not a good drinks. The food was VERY COSTLY for the amount you get also they automatically charge gratuity , which I feel they should let that be known before . Aside from that the ambiance and music was good for the most part , but I wouldn’t come back here or recommend to anyone.
I spontaneously wanted good food & drinks in Harlem. My homegirl suggested corner social, it was a nice atmosphere. There was good music & vibes. My waitress Jessie wasnt the best and at times I had to ask the hostess to send her over. Jessie couldnt or didnt offer drink suggestions which would have been helpful as a first timer in the establishment. I had the sangria which at first had no fruit or garnishing which I had to request. When I questioned her as to the absence of the fruit, I was advised the bar had run out however had replenished & she exchanged the drink. I would return, however would not be seated in Jessies area. The overall experience was good as I enjoyed my meal, drinks & great vibes with my friend. P.S. I would recommend the Harlem sage... In case your waitress doesnt 😁.. It was also kool to see Peter Gunz in the spot & he graciously allowed me to take a pic of him!
I absolutely loved the vibe, the atmosphere is electrifying! Everyone down to the people who clear the tables are nice, welcoming, smiling, just everything!
Ricardo Daniels Easycredit Recommended this amazing Restaurant 100% the menu its one the best around customers service this is a place the you have to add to your bucket list every item in the menu has a surprise .
The very social corner in Harlem with great food and live DJ.
The service is fast and friendly. The fried chicken is deep fried not pan fried so it is a little less flavorful. If you like butter with your waffles make sure to ask for some as it does not come with the dish.
Once you get passed being searched at the door like its a club, this place is not bad. The food we had was pretty good and the service was attentive.
Beside my waiter (who had several complaints against him be rude add me to the list )the food was delicious the manager promptly fixed the situation and we me and my friend had a blast after that !!! So kudos to the manager!
Great place to chill eat and listen to some great music.Very nice.
This is one of THE BEST restaurants in Harlem! I have been here several times and its always amazing. Food, drinks are DELICIOUS and the music and atmosphere is whats needed after a hard day of work. Overall this place will not disappoint you come in and enjoy.
Good Soul Food with a nice ambience with a live DJ. They do have barriers up between tables now and do a temperature check before you enter. The food was tasty, just not big portions. But its definitely worth a visit
Went here for a wedding dinner. Nice menu and good food. Everyone loved it.
The service was excellent! We ordered and had our food within 20 minutes! The atmosphere is very relaxing. The food was delicious! Friendly staff!
Great place! Food was amazing and the drinks were made just right. Friendly waitstaff and beautiful location close to shops and just the great scene of Harlem.
I was here as some other recommended restaurant felt like a dull tourist trap. And what a good choice it was. I had some of the best oysters ever and the whole ambiance is confirming you that you have come to the right place.
A little pricey but the service and vibe is really really good. Just have a plan because the bill will sneak up on you.
OMG, the food is fantastic. It could be bigger, seating felt tight but would go again and again and again. Try the Filly Milly or the shrimps with grits, delicious
This place is popular during the daytime and night. Great old soul Hip-Hop and R&B beats. Great place to mingle and meet beautiful people
I went there today because I heard some nice things about this place. The food came very quickly which was kind of disturbing, it means it was pre-cooked. But honestly It tasted like it was pre-microwaved. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The waffles taste like they were frozen and defrosted they had a wet taste like they were soaking in water. I could barely taste it.The chicken was nothing special and it was also lacking taste.They don’t put much effort in the food it’s more about atmosphere.The service was great the waiter was kind and on his mark. Unfortunately it’s the food that sucked.
Amazing staff! Thank you Alfonso and Victor for being so attentive. Great customer service! Drinks are on point and the Thursday night vibes with DJ Fugi Slim is everything and more !
Always fantastic music. Food is excellent. Never disappointed. Always a nice crowd and a great staff.
Went here for brunch after church in Harlem. Everything about this experience was terrible from the food to the atmosphere.1. Food: Everything about this makes me so mad. We ordered the chicken and bacon waffles. Yes, technically it was chicken and technically it was fried, but in reality it was schnitzel. When someone orders chicken and waffles the assumption is that the chicken is bone-in unless noted otherwise. There was no such warning on the menu. The breading was terrible and soft. The waffles were basic with bacon on the side. I sent it back and got the crab cake Benedict. The crab cake was almost all breading and waaaaaaaay over-seasoned. I know the difference between well seasoned and over-seasoned and trust me, this was the latter.2. The atmosphere: We sat outside in the heated patio EXCEPT the heaters stopped working. We told the staff, but no one offered to move us.3. The DJ: I get it. Part of why you go to a place like this is for the vibe. BUT I dont think hard core and explicit/unedited rap is that vibe that young couples & families are looking for at 1pm on a Sunday afternoon.Tl;dr: the food was so so so disappointing that no amount of atmosphere or booze could overcome it. I wont go again. 2 stars because the wait service was fine.
Great neighborhood joint in the changing neighborhood off Lenox & Malcom X. Take the 2 or 3 to 125th street & its 1 block north. Worth the visit.
My first time being here. Ive ridden past it for a long time and wondered what everything was like and so I made reservations for very early afternoon 12 or 12.15. The lady at the front door was very hospitable and she sat me at a great table. Danisha was the waitress assigned to my table and she was lovely! The reason for the not 5 stars: the website says that there is an all-day menu on Saturday and Sundays from 12p-11p. Then theres a Brunch menu which is 12p-4p. I was ready to order from the all day menu, but we couldnt and was only able to order from the appetizer menu and the brunch menu. They should make that known on their website or update it if its an ongoing policy or rule. The second reason is that upon coming in the restaurant, the music was unnecessarily, entirely way too loud and it was only 12 12.15 in the early afternoon. I love the music, dont get me wrong, but I had to fight to listen to my friends talk and I felt myself having to compete with the volume every time I had something to say. I had asked 3 times if the music could be turned down and it wasnt although they made it appear that it was turned down. Its nice to keep in mind that there are those who have difficulty with hearing in the first place and then when the music is too loud, it wouldnt hurt to turn down the volume a few decibels, if you will. Regarding the food, the lamb chops were perfectly cooked! The Harlem Rum Punch was on point as well. I also ordered the nachos minus the lettuce and it was soooo much, but I took it home for a snacky-snack!
Sloppy service and they keep changing chefs. Please bring back Maya. She is very organized and dedicated to her customers! The drinks are watered down and expensive!
It’s a vibe. Music is loud for talking but they play what I like so… 💁🏾♀️Foods always good. Service good too. May have to wait for seating but it’s a popular spot. Seems well staffed.
This is definitely a place that I will return to. After being turned away from Sylvia’s that we had a party of 28 reservation for, Corner Social immediately accommodated us in the middle of their dinner rush. My family is extremely picky but they loved their food. This restaurant is run efficiently! There was a DJ that played great music with a nice vibe that accommodated all age groups. This is a great place for families and a romantic outing. If you are looking for a place with great food and a nice vibe in NY this is the place to go.
Great customer services. Excellent food. Beautiful atmosphere. Definitely recommended
It was my first time very nice ,food was good I really enjoy the wine .I definitely be going back .staff was wonderful
Excellent service , delicious food with good portions . Nice atmosphere for a brunch .
Best bar in Harlem!!
The music was really good but they were not offering service. They gave us a hassle about sitting even though drinks were ordered. The staff was cool once everything was cleared. I would go again. I didnt give 5 stars because nobody had on masks.
When we stepped inside, we heard great music mixed with a plethora of beautiful black ppl. Black owned, great vibe. We could still have conversations without the music drowning us out. Love this place, would love to return!
Had a great time. DJ was awesome! Food good 👌
I really like this spot, I had the calamari, and I had the cocktail the lion it was a little bit expensive it was $14 and it wasnt that strong in alcohol for that price,but I order an extra shot, but I really love the atmosphere and the music was on point
Id like to give this place 4 stars because the food is good and so is the service. But $20 for a cheeseburger? Cmon.
I have been to the corner social a few times over the years. Whether it be for brunch or dinner, I always enjoy the food. The Lobster Ravioli is my favorite on the menu. I have heard my friends complain about the prefixed group menu price, and how they were cheated out of some money, but I can only lean on my experience. Nice!
Just went for drinks. Cool spot, it was actually, my 1st time going and I would go again
Great food. But there aren’t a lot of options regarding brunch. They also don’t have bottomless mimosas.
Good food, service and atmosphere. Plenty of patio seating for beautiful days.
I really wanted to like the place but I simply couldn’t. The music and vibes were great but the food? Disgusting. I had their lobster ravioli and it was pure horror. The sauce was horrible and the lobster didn’t taste fresh. I also had their Spanish artichoke dip which was also disappointing. Their drinks were strong and not tasty. To be honest if you’re looking for a spot to chat with friends and listen to great music this is the spot to be! Just get a water though...only.
This place isnt terrible. I can see this being a great spot just to chill for drinks. The vibe is nice, music is cool, and my drinks were excellent... but my food was sad.Shout out to Junabee tho who gave me and my friends great service!
My friends and I sat outside to eat, and the music was very very loud. We had to scream to hear each other, and heard the conversations of others around us. The food was okay, but not the best. Atmosphere was rustic and cute.
I celebrated my 43rd birthday there. It was a blast. The right food, music and energy. Just be sure to make reservations. The staff was amazing.
Really nice place perfect name. The vibes are really nice here. This place is really cool to have drinks and listen to music with your friends. The food for myself and my husband was a no go. While the presentation and service was great the food was not. You can see that there were regulars that probably never tasted good tasting representations of what they were eating. I would go back for the vibes after I eat somewhere else. Again the service was the great.
Amazing food and drinks too. The DJ adds another layer of flavor to a very unique place. I was there with a big group, and they did the best to serve us. Food and drinks were slow to come due to staffing issues, however the manager did his best by offering complementary drinks. Best way to keep your customers happy.
Been there many many times food was always good but the music is way to load. Ate there last night even when I yelled to my date she could not hear me and took forever for the waitress to come back to our table . To many restaurants out there won’t be back
Great place for either a date night or night out with friends. Considering it was a Friday night when we went there was a bit of a wait and they may have been a little understaffed. The Penne alla vodka was flavorful, hot, and a good size portion. Live DJ playing R&B (probably changes from night to night) made the dining experience even better. Indoor and outdoor dining options available but depending on the time of day dining outdoors can get loud especially in that area.
Lovely and lively bar scene , just be aware food is very average
Always a fun time when I come here. Food never disappoints, DJ never disappoints, management and service is so friendly and professional and they played my latest single on Spotify. They know how to treat their guest. Great place good times.
Friendly atmosphere. Food was a little salty but nevertheless tasty. I had the red snapper with mashed potato and spinach
This was my first time at this restaurant type lounge place. I loved it the crowd was a mixed crowd music was bomb & alot of good looking men lol. The food was also good and there drinks were decent overall experience a strong 8 yessss I would definitely go back great vibes.
If youre looking for food GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. Food is flavorless and not worth it. Music was good and so were the drinks. Sat there without a menu and basically felt like a forgotten child. Barely saw our waiter,those around us were seated after us and received service, drinks, and food before we even got to order. Wont be returning and not worth the drive.
Love the food. The atmosphere is great. The DJ be lit and the people are beautiful..great place to chill
Hanging out at Corner Social. Love it for Saturday Brunch. It has that grown and sexy atmosphere. Live DJ and drinks are on perfect. I had the shrimp and grits and its was absolutely amazingProps to the DJ for playing some Frankie Beverly and Maze@christianrfrazier#localguide#localguides#nycdining#nycfoodies#nyc#newyorkcity#harlem#harlemhappenings#cornersocial#cornersocialharlem#Manhattan#instafoodie#instaphotographer#goodtimes#saturdaysarefortheboys#saturday#grownfolk#grownfolks#music#live#nycbrunch#ongooglemaps#google#googlemaps
Nice vibe, nice staff. Place could use a decor uplift and nicer lighting. The food is bar food and is just okay. Drinks are just okay, as well. Overall, a cool place with a lot of potential to hang with friends.
Food and drinks were over priced, however tasty, Great atmosphere, Great music and great service.
Popular location. Attentive staff. Great food options. The Harlem Love Punch is DELICIOUS!
Iconic. A Harlem must. Outstanding service. Well staffed.
Excellent!!! Excellent service, kind staff. Great food. You wont be disappointed. I really appreciate how serious they took the covid restrictions. Our temperatures were taken at the door.
Very cool environment, atmosphere, and great drinks, pricey, but great! Downside though is it offers very little vegetation or vegan options.
Nice atmosphere. Good food and drinks.
Atmosphere was great DJ was excellent play lots of 90s and 2000 music. The collard greens the collard greens the collard greens This was the best part of my meal The pork chops were not the best but the collard greens the collard greens come for the collard greens. No one wearing mask so covid restrictions were not complied although they checked for covid cards. Food was pricey would go again but would probably just get drinks.
The atmosphere is as the name says. Lots of good energy/vibes from the person who greeted us at the door. Music was up-to-date and enjoyable if you like todays music. The drink I had was amazing I would go back for that ANYTIME! Now for the meal I had steak with carmelized onions and mushrooms, scrambled eggs and french fries. I asked for medium well my friend asked for well, when the server came out he had no idea which was which but it didnt matter because they were both well done anyway, he came out with french fries which I asked for home fries and was not given the choice to opt out if the french fries they were just given to me, my friend said no mushrooms and she got mushrooms, my eggs came out the cheese was not melted at all and my eggs were not hot enough to even attempt to melt it. Sooo all this to say I gave 3 stars because of the food.
So I had a meeting in the neighborhood and was looking for a spot to grab lunch & a drink. I initially sought out a few other places that were physically closer, but upon getting to them, the vibe did not seem copacetic towards outside patrons. So I ventured a little further until I came upon Corner Social. It was precisely what I was looking for.The outside patio hardly even seemed “outside”, by pandemic standards. They did an excellent job of segregating it from the sidewalk traffic & passerby pedestrians. To the point where it almost felt like I was dining inside.The altered entrance is a little hard to find (a bit down 126th) and because of that fact, the staff doesn’t always see incoming patrons. I had stood at the gated entrance for a short while before the hostess noticed me. But when she did, she checked my temperature (all good) and gave me hand sanitizer before entering. It wasn’t too crowded at lunchtime, so I was able to sit where I wanted.The music was blaring, but not overpowering. In fact, it set the mood for my entire experience. My server, Joe, approached me soon enough & was very helpful about my draft beer inquiry. I live in the neighborhood, and spots that can boast such an extensive beer list around here are few and far between. If you’re a beer connoisseur, you should definitely check theirs out.I had the “Harlem Goddess” salad, which is Mediterranean with feta cheese & lamb lollipops. I requested it without onions, but it still came out with some; it’s not an allergy for me so wasn’t that big a deal, but the chef should be weary of such exclusions for patrons who might have allergies. Nonetheless, it was a tasty and satisfying protein-rich lunch that I would order again.Although I had initially planned to just grab a quick bite and head out, the atmosphere & great service induced me to stay on longer & drink more than I really should midday. Joe was personable & friendly, to the point where I felt like I had been coming here for years. Because of him, I will definitely be returning soon.Bottom Line: Great beer list & atmosphere, with even better service. Cheers!
Always a line outside,and 1 drink is $17Good music on Saturday
I love this place. The food is always hot, fresh and flavorful and on the right night (fri,sat) the live DJ will have the party jumping! Great place to go with friends or solo. Oh and try their “frosé” thank me later.
5 stars for Sherita my server! She was attentive, personable, and funny! She made my first time here pleasant.Visited on a Sunday. Loved the atmosphere and live DJ.The tuna burger was served super fast, came out piping hot, and was cooked to my specifications. It tasted OK: not bad or bland, not phenomenal, just ok. I would choose something different next visit just so I could make a comparison.The drinks were a total bust! I ordered a Moscow mule that tasted like I was drinking Sprite, so I decided to switch over to Titos and cranberry juice.That drink was no better; it tasted like straight cranberry juice on ice. The drinks were the most disappointing part of my visit because I was hoping to spend the rest of the afternoon here sipping cocktails with my friends.Final answer: great vibe, great service (go Sherita!) average food, terrible drinks. They definitely need a mixologist on staff. I may return, but nothing is drawing me back here.
A meeting point in Harlem. Very diverse, very crowded. Food and coctails are good. Customers all enjoying the loud music, that making in dj cabin live..A very good place for socialising, drinking, flirting and meeting.
You dont need reservations.We were seated immediately on a Friday evening. The jerk wings, the calamari, the porkchops, mashed potato and collard greens was off the chain. On the pricey side, but a great time overall.
This visit was very disappointing! I raved about this place to my friends and was embarrassed by the menu and the quality of the food. Fruit was spoiled, eggs not done all the way, drinks juiced down. Prior to the pandemic Corner Social did not disappoint. How it brunch with no brunch menu. The service was great and that is all. One more thing this is a COVID breathing ground not one worker had on a mask. They also aren’t checking temperatures either.
Honestly the only thing good about this place is the music, the vibes and the service. The drinks are overpriced and just OKAY. The food...yikes...awful. Everything tastes like it came out of a microwave. I want to go back in the kitchen and see if they actually own a stove! Cause whew!! Where is the flavor?! I will say they are very good with COVID protocols. But until the “you must buy food” rule is lifted...I might have to skip this one 🥴🥴🥴
Visited this place on 05-08-2021 a few minutes past noon. If you are going to do the brunch stay away from the steak and eggs and the fresh fruit bowl. I asked for medium rare, the steak was well done. I asked for the eggs over easy, they were fried hard. The house toast was hard without any butter or something to give it flavor. The onion and Portobello mushrooms were unrecognizable in a weird dark, briney & tart sauce(?). The fresh fruit bowl was disappointing.My brother liked his omelet. The pancakes looked good, but because of covid restrictions(as they pertain to bottles on tables) you dont get a proportionate amount syrup. Ask for extra containers when you order. This will allow you to enjoy the pancake when it is hot.I think this might be a good place for drinks. The DJ had a nice mix. The service was average. I felt like I was an inconvenience to the wait staff.When I my nearly full plate was removed a few minutes after being delivered, I voiced my concerns to the wait staff. On the way out (after I requested) the manager said Sorry maybe we can do better the next time you comeWhat would bring me back?
This place is amazing! Its very modern with live music. Big screens to watch sports and wonderful staff. Lobster ravioli is fantastic!
Food was okay, the atmosphere was really cool... The music playlist was my favorite part of the whole experience
Used to be really good. Now owned by white people. Enough said.
Never a dull moment in this Harlem spot. The music keeps the energy on 10 and the food never disappoints. More please.
The service was great! The host made sure we were happy with our seats. The waiter was attentive. The drinks were great. The music was great. I will definitely go again!
Always popping, plenty of people to mingle with. The drinks are good
I was trying to get inside to ask about a reservation direct with the manager( party for 10because I found not make reservation over the phone and the security do not even look at my face because he was chatting with his friend. He said to me to wait because he was talking. So rude and disrespectful. His friend also stopped and said, let her ask what she needs. So I usually suggest the place and I was trying do my party there, but I advise the manager to better training the employees. The security just make you lose a party for 10 people and a client forever.
I will never dine at this restaurant again. I have visited four times over the past two weeks and never had an issue until this last visit but the way the issue was handled by the manager on duty has caused me to decide to never return. I arrived with a friend at around 11pm. The restaurant closes at midnight and we were informed that we would be the last table sat for the night and we needed to order quickly. We sat down and ordered all the food we wanted including appetizers and went ahead and ordered two drinks each. Our server brought our drinks and after that we never saw her again until she brought the check. Literally NEVER saw her again the entire meal (which lasted 45 minutes) at 11:45 the waiter came to bring the check. I said “hey, I never got the shrimp I ordered. Is it coming out?” She briskly walked away. About five minutes later she came back and said the shrimp was removed from the bill and the cook sends his apologies. Now in my experience at restaurants when a restaurant makes a mistake, the manager visits the table and makes a personal apology. You simply don’t apologize through a server that’s not how it should be done. But in this case the manager did not come to the table until I asked for her even though she knew there was an issue Bc she removed the shrimp that we never got from the bill. When she did come, she was not apologetic and she justified not doing anything more than sending the apology through the server. I noted that a 20 dollar forced gratuity was on our bill. We were a party of two and were not notified that we would be forced tipped. Now generally I am an amazing tipper and I tip above and beyond when I receive attentive service. In this case the server was not attentive in any way. Never checked on us, and had she bothered I may have gotten my shrimp before the kitchen closed down. I asked for the forced tip to be removed. The manager refused. I asked for a discount in consideration for the mistake and less than stellar experience. Again she refused. I asked to speak to the owner. She said the owner wasn’t there and that the buck stopped with her. I started to raise my voice just slightly in frustration and she abruptly walked away mid sentence and never returned. Total disrespect and lack of customer service. She literally had no regard for my experience and despite having tools at her disposal “to make it right” she just didn’t even bother! I tried not to make it a race thing but in today’s racial climate it’s hard not to consider it when our white counterparts treat us so poorly. Like our business doesn’t matter. At a restaurant right in the heart of Harlem where every patron was a person of color. I was so disgusted! My friend and I talked it over and decided to pay cash for our meal and withhold the forced gratuity. The server didn’t earn it. Period. She never gave us a single thought throughout the night. The spirit of gratuities are that they are voluntary otherwise they are simply a service fee. My friend stayed behind so I could go across the street and use the atm. They treated my friend horribly while I was gone (5 minutes) and they made it seem like we were trying to dine and dash. I don’t steal and I certainly don’t dine and dash! When I returned the atmosphere was very tense. I handed over the cash for the entire bill minus the gratuity. The manager tried to lock us in by closing the door after I handed over the money. Like they were going to shake us down for the forced tip. I couldn’t believe it. And honestly I feel bad for the server because if your manager valued your service as an employee, she would have taken a discount off the bill so that the server still would have been tipped. But the manager didn’t care about anyone in the situation. Not me the customer and not the server who works in hopes of making tips. Do not eat here if you want to be treated like a valued customer. They don’t value you at all and when they make mistakes that take away from your dining experience they don’t even take accountability and make it right. Stay away.
Place is highly overrated. The food needs more seasoning. Pricy for flavorless food. (FYI don’t use garlic powder for garlic fries lol ) will not be coming back. Atmosphere is good but it doesn’t match the food.
Great place excellent food. Not a place to go for quiet or for really good conversation. It can get a bit loud when its crowded. But the servings are large and always good. Its a vibe.
I hadnt been to Corner Social in awhile and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Great service all around.
Food here is consistently great in such a nice chill atmosphere. So glad they seem to be doing okay cause it’s such a great place. Delivery is always perfect. Will continue to support as much as I can for sure.
We were asked for 20$ each outside the bar from a man that was not part of the staff. Unacceptable
My second time coming here. Food was great! Good vibes.
This was a great place to celebrate my birthday with friends and family and be safe at the same time.
Nice spot, good drink selections.OK music and bit too crowded - if youre not early, you wont get a seat.
Summer is done for me, but I’m gonna slide over there a few times like a bandit. Def try the drink uptown baby, you’ll thank me later. Drunk fries are like poutine, amazing. There’s this shrimp pesto flatbread pizza that I have to figure out how to make it. Just go eat and be merry and safety safe.
Local Harlem staple with an eclectic crowd, good food, fun tasting cocktails and definitely great variety of music!
Pretty nice place to dine uptown 👍
First time there, Outdoor dining was nice. I really enjoyed myself, the food and drinks were good, the DJ did his thing, played all the hot hits. The only thing I can have a complain about is the wait time, a little over an hour, which is expected due to the Pandemic situation, I will be going back soon....
My evening at the corner social was amazing. The DJ was on point with the music & my meal was great. I had three drinks with my meal each one of them was money well spent.
Service was friendly, the food was tasty, and the DJ was on point ... The only way it could be better would be slightly cheaper drinks. Haha, like thats going to happen!
Seating took forever and seemed disorganized in terms of order. Fish (not salmon) smelled VERY fishy and didnt really taste great. Waitress was great. DJ was great. Drinks waitress made was great. Would probably go back. Didnt pick up phone all day to make a reservation and you cant make an evening reservation online.
Food is decent- pretty much what you would expect for slightly more upscale bar food. I can’t say I’ve tried the brunch. It’s a great place for happy hour and or to watch the game. They have a good DJ Friday nights, though it tends to get really packed.
Great place! Eight of us went for dinner and drinks for a girls night out. Everyone had something different and all of it was amazing! I loved the shrimp maccaroni & cheese with spinach and mushrooms. The portions are large & reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere. Service was great! The manager even bought our table a round of shots because we tipped above the norm. Had a DJ that was great! Cant wait to go back!
I have been there many times by myself and and with different size groups. The reason we keep coming back is the ambience of the place, it always has a really nice vibe. Please be aware the security outside are enforcing dress code, you definitely wanna make sure you’re in it otherwise your night will be ruined. I can say that the service has been consistent for the volume of the bar, the service is okay. Cocktails are pretty nice and the food is good as well.
The food is pretty amazing here, they have an amazing menu going on and the prices fit the bill. Its so worth a try and promise youll be back for more.
Atmosphere very inviting with indoor as well as outdoor seating. Ambiance very classy grown and sexy adult over 30 crowd. Enjoy restaurant week menu and options pricing affordable. Service was exceptional and very much appreciated. Will be returning before good weather ends.
Excellent food, beautiful ambiance & great music.
Five Stars for this business considering the communication to get the reservation and the dining experience. To celebrate my friends birthday we wanted a brunch party environment and we searched a few places in the city and the stipulations were all over the top and a complete turn off. We were familiar with the Corner Social having been to other restaurants in the area. We emailed the restaurant and got a response rather quickly from the manager Camille. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, she responded quickly and took care of everything via email. We reserved for 15 people and once word got out among our friends we needed to accommodate 25 people... I reached out to Camille two days before asking for a miracle and she made it work !!!!!Fast forward to Saturday at one, we all arrive and are seated at a few tables all in the same area and let the fun begin. The music was great not to loud so you could converse but loud enough to move your hips when your song came on. We all ordered either the shrimp and grits or chicken and waffles.... I didnt take any food pics too many of the same thing posted. IT WAS SOOOO GOOD....oh and the crab cakes we also got a few of those and they were great also. We all got the unlimited brunch drinks and boy oh boy...Most of us opted for the rum punch, all I know was my glass never got to empty. They made it their business to keep it full and b/c of that i cant say how much I actually drank but we had a great time.The DJ was super cool and very interactive with the crowd. They even had raffles going on and my friend actually won !The atmosphere was great, bar seating, great food and accommodating staff. Such a large party Im sure we were a bit much to deal with at once...a bunch of girls with a bunch of questions but she was AWESOME. Patient and took great care of us from start to finish. I would absolutely return and recommend this place to anyone.Oh and the price was very fair considering all the food we all had.
This place is amazing!!! This was my very first time visiting New York and I met up with my frat brother. The food was amazing and the music was on point. I highly recommend
Brunch was great. Especially good music and good food. The Crab Benedict was tasty.
Turkey burger itself was good, but the bun was stale. The lamb chop lollipops werw tastlsss, but Claudia the server was very nice.
Great vibe, great food...felt a little normal to be back with indoor dining and good music 🎶
Good vibes, chic, good music, great table service the food was delectable and the drinks beautifully executed..
Memphis dry rub wings . I had to verify with the waitress that the wings were in fact dry rubbed since they were just fried and tasteless ... her answer was “ dry rub is not a sauce “😅, however she offer to bring more “ seasoning “ that never reached my table. Must improve item for fans of non messy but tasty wings. Corner mule drink good mix but weak to taste .
Always enjoy coming here. They often have a live DJ. The staff is friendly and they have happy hour. Fairly good sized indoor and covered outdoor space.
It was crowded. Two girls got into a real physical fight. Please make a reservation. It was a long wait. But once the DJ arrives its poppin! Food and drinks are on point. I had a great time. They need more staff. We kept losing our waiter. The only flaw.
Tony was our server and he gave us an amazing experience! We were in town from Chicago and our food to his service was outstanding! The burger was amongst one of the best I’ve ever had. I just wish their drink portions for the mimosas were slightly bigger though. Besides that, I still give them five stars.
Great food went two days in a row had the steak both times Loved it great music very friendly people a must go
I came across the street from Sylvia’s because the host said a 15 minute wait at 3:30 on 10/9/2020. I waited 25 minutes in line to be seated. At 4:00pm a group of 7 white people and a party of 3 men were seated before us. It appears the host knew the 3 males so she gave them priority while we waited patiently. We were told the table was being cleaned but then was told we needed to wait for people to leave . It’s ridiculous . My second time going there and wasn’t pleasant first time either. I didn’t get to get serviced because they’re changing menus and you have an hour to finish. I will never come here again. The setup is horrible, too crowded no social distancing in-line and entry way. Thanks but no thanks👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
Always a good time for drinks and music..
This is absolutely a local hang out spot in Harlem. The place is always packed on the weekends and depending on how you feel, it can be a good or not so good thing. You will see the same faces their but it brings a vibe of acceptable familiarity. The music is always great and the drinks are priced moderately.The food is descent but nothing to rave about. Make your life simple...order fries and wings!The staff is always rushing but its because if the volume of guests and limited walking space...its tight up in there, but mainly on weekend nights.Are you going to have a good time there...yes but be prepare to bump into everyone.. all the time
💪🏾drinks great spot to sit out and enjoy some fresh air and good food
Was seated at 3:45 only to be told that we couldnt order food. The waitress was rude and rolled her eyes as if we were at fault. So we left.
Great serve but they must be under new management because the food is ok compare to two years ago. Drinks was crazy watered down
This place is so awesome. The food is amazing. The drinks are off the chain!!! If you are ever in Ny ,you must go to Corner social. When I tell you the music, the atmosphere the people mixed with the food and the drinks... it is a recipe for a hell of a good time!!!! The only thing I can say is that theres a security guard by the bathrooms they are single stalls for men and women. that was a little weird but I cant wait to return!!!
I’ll start by saying that the music and drinks were great, which is why this isn’t getting 1 Star. My boyfriend and I went to Corner Social for brunch, and after getting halfway through our meals we were asked to move to the other side of the restaurant. I have never been asked to move after already being seated and served. We didn’t get the full 1.5 hours of bottomless mimosas as promised. The hostess was extremely rude. While we were finishing our mimosas, the hostess came up to our table and told us that we need to leave. I noticed that no one else was asked to leave or forced to switch tables in order to accommodate other guests. We were there for less than 1.5 hours. I recommend going to another restaurant for brunch where you can get cheaper bottomless mimosas, good food and a kind staff.
Be mindful of your bill total!! Today I checked my bank account and noticed my total was different from my receipt (I always keep my receipts). The waiter had a nerve to take an additional 20% tip AFTER 20% gratuity was added to the bill. I hate people who try to get over on others!!! I will never give this place a dime of my money again. You have been warned people!!! My server was Jose O (the name on the receipt) if this establishment would like to take matters into their own hands.
The food was ok but the service wasnt great. I had the chicken and waffles. Its not a large portion. It had three small pieces of chicken. The hostess rushed our party. I felt the hostess should have told my party that our booth was reserved before we were seated. Instead she told us later. Luckily, we had paid the bill and was leaving. Unsure when I will return.
Good music, good food and crowd and awesome bartenders! But this place is WAY TOO SMALL FOR dedicated customer base. You have to come early to get a seat at a table or bar and youll be lucky if youre eating one of their delicious entrees without people elbow to elbow right in your space and face. They NEED TO EXPAND, ITS RIDICULOUS, Its time! Perfect spot if you like over crowded spaces with hardly any room to dance without having someone bump into you spilling your drink. Ijs lol.
When I ate at Corner Social the music was unnecessarily loud to the point where I couldnt hear the person who was seated right next to me. Also the food was mediocre at best, and there definitely wasnt anything about the experience that would make me want to return.
Stopped in for brunch in Harlem. Our original choice was completely booked on this Sunday afternoon, so we quickly found an alternative here. Cool place with a good vibe! It was also crowded, but they got us in fairly quick. We all enjoyed our food and drink choices. Would come back or recommend.
Very nice, but small, Latin American restaurant.
The only reason I am giving 3 stars is because I went to the location during happy hour. I was not very happy with the service given or the staff on the premises. No one told us it was happy hour upon walking in and having a seat at the bar. This information was given to us by a fellow customer. She also suggest that we asked for the happy hour menu, which wasnt a big menu to choose from. That is okay because most happy hour menu are a very small selection. I ordered the crab cakes which was not what I thought it would be, I was not 100% happy with the way the crab cakes taste.
We had a company holiday party this past Tuesday and it was wonderful. Great ambiance and atmosphere. Although not enough workers for our group about 40 of us our wait staff was humble attentive and very charming. Loved their Fruit punch, and chicken marsala with mash potato & spinach was very filling. A coworker had cream of mushroom soup and it wasnt bad, especially since dont care for mushrooms. We had a great time and would come again to try other foods on menu. Come by the corner and find sociable atmosphere.
Dined January 1, 2020This was the WORSE brunch I have ever had I should have stopped at the coffee!! I had the chicken and waffles dish. The chicken tasted like Shake and Bake chicken from an oven. There was no way this chicken was fried! The waffle was definitely Eggo! The service and ambiance was good however, I would suggest you save your money and go elsewhere. Only redeeming factor in my opinion, the mimosas were great!
Fun bustling restaurant. The crab cakes are delicious! The music is great but way too loud outside and inside.
Unorganized.. unprofessional to begin! I’m going to blame it on poor management possibly. None the less, only come here if you have time to waste. I wish I could comment on the food but I never made it that far. 11 pm on a Tuesday night at that ! We were told (party of 2) that we would sit down and be able to eat off the dinner menu as the bar menu would be in affect at 12am. The Hostess appears to have 3 jobs (and there is only one hostess): distribute take out orders, seat, and complete bill payments. 20 minutes pass and then we have to stand by patiently watching 3 empty tables look at us for another 20MINUTES before we are finally seated. Imagine our frustration when we are now told after being seated ANOTHER 10 minutes before the rude waitress FINALLY comes over and tells us we can only order from the bar menu now. Signed, Hungry and angry.Thank you but no thank you Social Corner, I will not waste time at this establishment again.
Great atmosphere. Outstanding food. Friendly bartender. Cool vibes. What more can you ask for? Visit here and you won’t regret. I checked out his place in Central Harlem today on a whim and this place did not let me down for lunch.Edit: I’ve been back multiple times. I love the drinks here especially. Nice vibe too
A lot of options in the menu and on the drink list.
From the moment that we selected the Corner Social to host our sons surprise Birthday party EVERYTHING went wonderfully smooth and memorable!We had about twenty guests and they were all genuinely pleased with the venue, the service and the overall atmosphere.Chloe was my first point of contact for reservations. She was appreciatively professional, attentive to my needs for the party, very warm, impressionable, smart, witty and ever so charming, making me feel valued as a customer.When we arrived she escorted me to our table, while there I met our server for the evening. Her name was Veeta. I do not have the correct spelling and I want to apologize. This young lady was just as dynamic, professional, warm, friendly and spot on also! She provided our party with everything that one could ask for and more.We also met the manager and shared with just how pleased we were and shared slices of the Birthday cake with him, Veeta and Chloe...This place is amazing for socializing and the adjoining guests appeared as though they were enjoying themselves as well. And one more thing a big message of recognition to the DJ!He was a true master of music jams! His delivery was spot on and I found myself swaying to a tune or two and it felt great because I have not danced since having surgery to my back in July 2019. Thank you so much...A final Thank you to the Doorman outside and to the entire team at Corner Social! You are all appreciated and stand as a good blueprint of excellent customer service!Thank you, again...🤗
While it is a nice social setting, and the crowd is very upbeat and friendly, the establishment needs a deep cleaning. The floor around the bar and the floor behind the bar and the actual bar top was dirty all around. The table tops were sticky and this is clearly because theyre not being cleaned with the proper agents. All around and gave the feel of a place that was just wiped down with the wet cloth.
I Thoroughly enjoyed my food, the service, Everything!!! I shared the crab cake and 2 eggs any style (Over Medium) I had the Chicken and waffles and they were Amazing! My friend had the shrimp and grits which were so creamy and delicious! Will definitely go again!!!
In a lot of ways this is a great place. Hard to beat the location, and the food is solid (everyone liked everything), excellent tap list and outstanding cocktails. Service is OK. Prices are reasonable for the area. WOW ITS LOUD INSIDE. Like club level loud, and it got louder about 15m after we went in when the DJ came on (not that we could stand to be there much more than 45m...Im all for having music in a bar/restaurant, but this was really next level). The DJ was pretty good, but did I mention its unbearably loud? I have been to the first row of concerts at a lower volume. Its doing a lot of things right, but not sure Ill be back.
Definitely the place for the turn up or just plan good ole time. Lively music from a live DJ. Food is delicious and Dancing is must if you can. Ambience is great but it can get kind of cram pack some nights.

2022-04-05We waited about 45 minutes at the bar for a table. On this particular Sunday (not sure if this is the norm) the tables were all reserved and we were informed that they hold tables for 15 minutes after calling the party. We were added to the waiting list and eventually a table became available. The food was good (had wings (dry rub) and a Caesar Salad). My recommendation would be to make reservations in advance. It was busy this Sunday and they also had a live DJ, really nice spot in Harlem.

2022-06-04My adult children invited me out for dinner and they chose this location. Decorations are beautiful, the music was great. They even had a DJ. Covid protocol are followed and service was quick and pleasant. Will definitely come back again.

2022-01-18This place is amazing. I am originally from Harlem and came up to NY form Florida where I now live and was so happy to be back to my birth place. My niece told me about this place and knew o would love it 😍 and I did. The music 🎵 the bartenders to the bouncers was good. We spent a good penny that night in there and the Manager or owner not sure who he was, was pleasant by asking us if we were good and just checking on us repeatedly. Our waiter was on point.Bathrooms are clean and the setting due to Covid was a little too close for me but was good because they had covers shields in between tables. Food, OMG 😱 was amazing if your ever in Harlem please go here you will not be disappointed.

2022-06-20Sigh 3 stars is not reflective of the restaurant but of my experience for that dinner.Food was delicious, pretty good white sangria, place clean + beautiful, music good... would definitely go back!Problem was my waiter and the check. He was soooooo slow and absent. Saw him once when we got our waters 15mins after being seated, then to bring the food menu (no drink menu provided), then to take orders, then to bring the food, then to bring a wrong check with 20% gratuity added. Thats it. No water refills, no asking if everything is OK, no asking about drinks, and then a check with extra appetizers and a 20% tip! The waiter at a nearby table was far more helpful and it would be a 5 star review if he was responsible for us. He was the one who brought the right check to us (still with 20% tip) because our waiter did not come back until I put my card on the check.Would definitely go back and sit in a different section, Im sure I can update this review then to a higher rating.

2022-06-18The food was okay. The server is a bit overbearing. He wasn’t listening when we said we didn’t want the appetizer (shrimp not pictured) yet it appeared moments later. While it was good we could have done without it.The penne vodka with shrimp ($10 more for shrimp) had only 4 shrimp. A bit pricey for only 4. Pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce pretty good.Music was great.Covid protocols in place with plastic tables separators.

2021-11-13Angel took excellent care of me and my girlfriends Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. We really loved the vibe here. We ordered drinks at the bar and found out you have to order an app when you order a bottle of prosecco. We got the calamari and it was perfect to snack on for the four of us. The calamari had a light, crispy breading seasoned well with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. I also had the lychee martini and it was delicious. Corner Social requires you to be vaccinated to enter so I really enjoyed my time here feeling a little safer.

2022-06-27The food and drinks here were very good. The brunch menu has pretty good variety. The service was good for the most part, maybe the only criticism is that they were a little slow clearing the table of unused stuff at times but thats minute. The music is very good and sets a good atmosphere. The bathrooms were clean.

2022-04-06I was mid-conversation, drinking an old fashioned with my date when the food appears in record time but not only did the food get to us fast, the food was great! One would assume that flavor would be lost with how quickly it was made, but that was not the case here. Corner social is great for dates or a quick bite before heading over to the Magic Johnson Theater for a movie.- Alex
