Originally from the South, and its been hard to find a good po boy in NYC, and cant recommend this one enough. Gonna have to come back for her Shrimp n Grits
First time in Harlem for me and my family and stopped by the Harlem Seafood Soul Truck for lunch. and boy are we glad we did!! Chef Tami is a sweet lady who certainly knows how to cook. Our seafood Po Boys and Fish and Chips platter were cooked to perfection .... hot, crispy, and oh soooo fresh tasting. Real quality and reasonably priced. Highly Recommend!!!
Tami is amazing. I did a food give away for Thanksgiving for 180 people. She gave me a discounted rate, carved all the turkeys. THE TURKEYS were so good.
I think amazing, wonderful, unbelievable, incredible or else reality is nothing for chef Tami, I should find something above and beyond.This is not a compliment.If its anyones first time, I would say the delicious story has begun.She serves just Love with no hesitation.
Love her! Shes such a nice woman! Very hospitable! And, YES,you CAN taste the cheese in the cheese grits!!
Sometimes, trying to support our own is not easy.. Owner was extremely rude, for no reason!Shrimp & grits, shrimp was undercooked, still had some grey color (didnt eat). Im old school and customer service is important! To the owner its nice to be nice! I saw that....KARMA
Shrimp and Grits was soupy. Small portion. Big price $15
This is a must have, if you enjoy seafood, stop by Harlems seafood truck, fresh, quality food that is seasoned just right, you will love the sweet tea. Grits was creamy and cooked right. Woman owned, black owned, blessed, beautiful spirit. Prices are right.
This was the most pleasant surprise Ive had in a while. The food is simply perfect, nothing else to say about it. The service is beyond fantastic! The lady that makes and serves the food is so friendly, that youll fall in love. Even if youre in a rush, take a break to enjoy this awesome food truck experience. Loved it!
The food is absolutely delicious. Its seasoned to perfection. The lady that cooks the food is full of personality and so sweet. I felt like i was back at my grandmothers for a true sunday dinner. Definitely will be returning.
The Shrimp & Cheese Grits were delicious, even though I didnt really taste the cheese, however, its the first time Ive ever eaten grits without having to add anything to it. Fish taco was good. Chef Tammy is a Sweetie Pie.
I ordered a fried turkey for Thanksgiving and it was AMAZING. Chef Tami knows what she is doing and works with love. If you are in NYC, you have to come to Harlem and visit Harlem Seafood Soul.
I never When I Say Never Ive never gotten food from the corner store but this was the best chicken and rice I have purchased in my life. And I got extra onions and extra white sauce I dont know what seasoning to put on a chicken but it is the sweetest most savory chicken Ive ever tasted.
This was such a wonderful experience. Chef Tammy is such a beautiful soul. I am so glad we went here. The food was to die for, so fresh and flavorful. We had the fish po boy and the Mac and cheese bites. I can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!
The food was good but the chef has a very nasty mouth. She curses at people that walk past and go to other vendors. I personally have seen her on 21st ST multiple times being very disrespectful. She cursed at me and called me various names because she messed my order up and I asked her about it. She threatened to throw hot oil on me and she told me she can do that because she was famous from being on POWER...She thinks its cute but customer service is very important.
I was in NYC for a week celebrating my 10th year wedding anniversary. On our last day in the city we decided to go back to Harlem and do some shopping and enjoy an outdoor concert. It was here where I smelled the most wonderful aroma of fried fish and decided to patronize this business. The wait was over 20 mins which was expected because of how many people were in line. But what wasnt expected was to be cursed out for getting ketchup and hot sauce for food that I purchased from the business and was readily available and offered to me when I got my food. I was called everything but a child of God by the chef and threatened to have my hand chopped off because she didnt know what I was reaching for. I have read the reviews and heard that she has such a beautiful soul, I just wish I had met that part of her that day. Her gift of cooking is undeniable but you can lose everything because of character flaws.
I ate everything on the menu and everything is made fresh to order. I love her authenticity she is truly a mother and aunt to many. I feel like I knew her my whole life. Thank you for sharing your greatness.
So as I was parking there was a food truck on the sidewalk. I walked around and saw it’s blacked owned. Of course I want to support and purchased fish and vegan tacos. I was skeptical because didn’t care for whitings or lettuce but the hustler came out of the owner and convinced me to get it anyway. She was very nice about it and wasn’t pushy or forcing me to get it. The vegan taco was superb, very shockingly good lol. My cousin loved the whiting and it was her first time. She said it was very different and good. #SupportBlack #TryIt #NoRegrets
This ECO Friendly Food Truck is Everything! People I am a Foodie hands down the Mac n Cheese bites R the Best I’ve ever had n believe ME I’ve tried them in several places. Chef Tami’s Signiture “Shrimp & Grits” R Amazing!She’s Truly “Homecooking” in this food truckMy life has been charged by eating her Delicious food, I Strongly RecommendedHarlem Seafood Soul
It was an honor to meet tami and her food truck , the moment I got out the train the smell of her food it was enticing I had to stop and chopped it up with her for a min , she is an amazing chef hats of to her I enjoyed the fried fish and Mac bites we had and wonderful conversation , you go black woman you rock so proud of you and yes I watch chopped on TV. Love you girl.💕
Saw her on Vice with munchies and loved her attitude. Came by and had some of the most amazing food. I hope she continues to do what she loves and making great food!
A little disappointed..... they said they are open but I’ve been searching for over and hour and I cant find them. I’m a native NEw Yorker and I was so excited to try this place. They should have a system in place to warn people when they are closed or moved so we don’t waste money traveling from far for nothing. Guess I have to go to Sylvia’s. Word of advice.... have someone check your Instagram and be responsive so you don’t lose business or customers who are loyal fans or newcomers. The one Star is only because I couldnt find you and you weren’t responsive on your social media. I am sure when I actually eat the food I will enjoy. Hopefully next time you will actually be there.
Great food. Friendly staff.
Today I stopped by the food truck to support it and try the food, I must say Im glad I made the choice of the fish poboy sandwich. The sandwich was very flavorful and chef Tammy was awesome, I will definitely be back to try more of the menu.
Sending love to Ms. Tami.God bless you and your family.Such a real and beautiful woman with delicious food. ❤
Harlem Seafood Soul food truck has quickly become my favorite lunch destination. Any uptown combo is satisfyingly delicious but all you really need to know about is their signature “Mac and Cheese.”
Amazing Food and Amazing Service Chef Tami Number 1
The food is amazing. The fish taco are pooping , and the owner is dope. I would love for her buissnes to expand to all 4 boroughs. Sorry Staten island.
Uptown Combo and Mac & Cheese bites are my favorite!! I came all the way from Westchester and I don’t eat seafood but I will when it comes to Harlem Seafood Soul!!! Hands down
The food and service is top notch! The chef & owner, Tammy, has so much personality and somehow makes a food truck feel like home.
Here from out of town, definitely worth it. Best Shrimp and Grits I’ve had.
Fish po boy is really fantastic. The nicest woman dredges the fish in cornmeal and fries it all to order. Really delicious. seriously delicious.
Really friendly service. The menu is seafood heavy, with a little Latin feel! Definitely worth checking out.
I love it but anytime I go there to get my favorite funnel cake said we dont have it so😢
The Vegan and fish taco are a must! The tofu of the vegan taco is both creamy and crunchy and extremely delicious.
Mac and Cheese bites. Thats the comment.
Chef Tami is lovely and the food is amazing. I’ll be back for sure!
Amazing food and a beautiful soul who makes it! I recommend everyone to go to Harlem and meet this great lady!
Not a single item on this menu that I didn’t enjoy. Try anything and everything on it and I guarantee you will be coming back for seconds
The food is so good. The staff is friendly and approachable. Soulfood is being brought back to Harlem.
Chef Tammy is not only a great cook, she is funny too. You walk away with a smile on your face 😊

2022-04-19I visited this food truck during the Harlem uptown night market. I waited over an hour to get some so I knew it had to be good. She did not disappoint! The seafood combo was delicious I was so glad I waited and now I wish I had more

2022-05-05Fish & chips hit the spot, perfectly seasoned. Saint Tami made sure I didn’t leave without her new garlic aioli: divine.

2022-08-21Saw Chef Tami on the Netflix series “Street Food USA” and I loved her spirit so much that I was determined to visit Harlem and find her! Safe to say she was just as charismatic in person. Reminded me so much of my favorite auntie. The shrimp & grits were bomb and the fried Mac n cheese balls, OMG! Harlem is blessed to be served by Chef Tami ❤️

2022-05-29Me && My husband visited New York for a fight at the Barclay Center. Before our trip ended we had to make a stop here. So Glad I did. The food was GREAT . Mrs Tami is so down to earth and will have you laughing! Can’t wait to come back..

2022-08-07I had the shrimp and grits which was soaking in butter and pepper to a point that wiped any other taste. Also too pricy for the portion size. But the owner was pleasant and the service was quick given the amount of people waiting for their order.

2022-08-04Ive never had your food, but I saw your documentary Miss Tammy and I loved it. If I still lived in New York, I would be coming to eat your food! Yes, Im a native New Yorker, I miss the food tremendously!!! Ugh. God bless you Miss Tammy and you keep hanging tough!!!

2022-08-20Hands down best in town! Chef Tami has her unique signature in every dish. This place is the opposite of your average NY sit-down place.

2022-08-18Unfortunately, I am geographically unable to visit Harlem Seafood Soul. However, I saw this food cart on Street Foods on Netflix. This womans journey and HER soul are remarkable!! Her GENUINE engagement and connections with her customers? I have chills! This is a beautiful soul! Please, if in the area, please visit Harlem Seafood Soul. One person who has battled nuhuman! tragedies and remains a beautiful humam!

2022-06-22Chef Tami is rare, a gem, food is fresh and prepared with love and skill. Additionally she helps Seniors and youth in the Harlem community without being a millionaire.
