    While in NY on business, my friend brought me to this spot and it did not disappoint. The vibes were great. The music and then DJ was playing great tunes. And then the drinks and food were top notch.

    chicken and waffles sandwich
    Shrenik P.

    Usually, chicken and waffles come in the form of separate items laid on top of each other. This was my first time seeing a chicken and waffles sandwich on a menu, and so I had to try it out. This was certainly interesting. I think the combination worked, but with some caveats. Firstly, the waffles were on the drier side. The best waffles are waffles you can eat without syrup or any additions and be perfectly happy, but this wasn't that. They were slightly fluffy, but not very much so. What this meant was that initially, the sandwich lacked moisture and felt somewhat bland. We asked for maple syrup - which oddly wasn't given to us by default - and this significantly improved the experience. While this rendered us unable to eat it like a normal sandwich (unless you want the stickiest hands in existence), the fork and knife wasn't a bad substitute. It mostly stayed together. The maple syrup added a ton of sweetness and moisture which was desperately needed due to the waffle being on both sides. The chicken was really good though. It was chicken thigh - a much better idea in this case than going with chicken breast. The outside was a beautiful golden brown color and highly crispy. Just as far as the chicken in chicken and waffles, it's some of the best I've had that isn't fried in breadcrumbs. The home fries were not good. They were too soft, underseasoned, and not very appealing. On the form function of this sandwich, I'm a little mixed. If you end up eating with a fork and knife anyway, why not just have chicken and waffles the normal way? You get more of the waffle this way, but in my opinion the main focus should be on the chicken. I thought this version was still fine though For the price, it's actually cheaper than I expected at less than 20 dollars. The portion size is pretty large. 10

    What you see is what you get at Corner Social, and I love that consistency for them. Enjoyed my visit for Sunday brunch while in Harlem. The DJ provided the perfect ambiance as the sunlight streamed in from the high windows behind me. This place is also wonderful for people watching. There were no frills to the food that I ordered, mimosas and pancakes with fruit and a side of eggs. All was good for Sunday brunch with great music from the DJ, and my waitress was timely. Will definitely be back to one of my favorite brunch and hangout spots in Harlem.

    Food was ok, nothing to really rave about, the drinks were ok. Just margaritas service was good. Pretty fast , but my buddies margarita had too much salt. So they changed it for her. Ambiance was good little too loud.

    Loaded nachos
    Virginia P.

    The Loaded nachos, Louisiana popcorn shrimp and Coconut and chicken curry were all delicious, no complaints. Everything was seasoned well. The server was polite and courteous and the ambiance outside seating was nice. My only issue was the take out Battered fish and chips. The fish was greasy, tasteless, seemed not to be fresh and the dish looked unappealing , the coleslaw was dry and the fries were bland. I wouldn't recommend any take out - yah just never know or you need to check it out prior to leaving the restaurant- my opinion. Prices were decent.

    The Drinks, food and vibes on point but it can get packed! Worth the wait to get in .

    The DJ was great!! That I can say. But the food and drink were mediocre. I will give here another chance with suggestions from people. We had the garlic parm and mango habanero wings. The sauces were light in flavor. The wings were good in crispness but the wings itself lacked in flavor. I don't know why there will be coconut on mango habanero wings. The drinks weren't strong either

    Chicken Wings
    Yasmine B.

    SPREAD LOVE ITS THE HARLEM WAY! Always a great time at this local Harlem gem that's full of vibe, energy, and community. Service is good and loved the unexpected touch of having a photographer offer to capture the moment, especially as we introduced a new family member around town. The wings were crispy and everyone in my party enjoyed their meals. Generous portions and even better music. Like a DJ was in the house. A solid spot!

    lobster ravoli
    Yami C.

    My best friend picked Corner Social for us to grab a bite before going to see the new SZA & Keke Palmer movie. I think I've been here before, but it's been years, so I was excited to try it again! We came on a weekday, and it wasn't packed, which made for a nice, relaxed atmosphere. The service was great--our server was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the lobster ravioli, and let me tell you--AMAZINGGGGGG! The flavors were rich and creamy, and the bread that came with it was soft and warm, the perfect complement to the dish. I loved every bite and would definitely come back just to order it again! The only issue I had was that there was a draft where we were seated, and it was so cold. I really wish the place was warmer because it made it a little uncomfortable while dining. Overall, Corner Social is a solid spot with great food, good service, and a chill atmosphere. Just be mindful of where you sit if you're someone who gets cold easily! I'd still recommend it for a casual meal with friends or a pre-movie dinner!

Enough space to feel like you're not on top of each other, but not really a place for huge parties. Probably great to do a buyout for birthdays, etc. The happy hour (food & drink) is affordable with a nice selection and runs a good length of time (5-7pm). The non-happy hour menu is the real gem though. A little pricey for the neighborhood, but the quality is on par with cocktail bars down in the villages, so well worth it.

There's a camaraderie in the room that invites you to slow down, connect, and truly experience both the conversation and the food. Everything feels considered. My best friend and I each ordered the prix fixe menu, and it was a journey from start to finish. I began with the Spicy Corn & Coconut Soup--honestly, unforgettable. The crispy shallots added just the right amount of texture against the velvety base, and each spoonful layered flavor in a way that felt both comforting and elevated. For my main, I had the kichuri, and Chef Alex Guzman absolutely shines here. He is a star--full stop. There's a clarity and confidence in his cooking that you can taste. The cilantro chutney was perfection, and the way the mint lingers alongside the spice... it's the kind of balance that only comes from someone who truly understands their craft. You can feel his care in every bite. I ended with the key lime pie, and all I can say is thank you. The whipped cream was fresh and airy, the lime zest bright without overpowering, and the crust tied everything together beautifully. It felt like a thoughtful, intentional close to an already incredible meal. I highly recommend starting with the guava mocktail, then pairing your main with the fig mocktail--both are perfectly crafted and complement the dishes so well. Also, sit at the bar.
