Fodor's Expert Review Corner Social

With nearly 20 beers on tap, sports on big screens, and bar food that's anything but boring (everything from shrimp macaroni and cheese to house-made popcorn shrimp), it's no surprise that this neighborhood favorite is packed on weekends. Their brunch menu includes classic soul food with a spin, like the fried chicken and bacon waffle topped with Cholula honey cheesy sauce, and well-portioned salads like the Harlem Goddess salad with lamb lollipops and feta cheese. In warm weather, an outdoor patio gives you a front-row seat to the scene on Lenox Avenue.
