I can't understand how is it that the same person owns this place an At The Wallace and give the customer such different experiences. I have been treated very poorly at this place in the past, however the people of At The Wallace told me to go back because servers have been changed and Chad had improved the overall experience. Since I care about the folks at At the Wallace, I decided to give them a chance. The first thing was that the waiter, an apathetic hipster, changed my seat because I was seated in a table for four people, nothing outrageous or out of the ordinary, but then I see him separating the table to allow a couple to sit there. Which made me wonder why I didn't get that treatment, but whatever. I order a medium Spicetown USA burger and a Seltzer. A different waitress brings me the seltzer and basically drops it on the table spilling some of the drink on the table. She didn't apologize for the abrupt gesture, she just turned around and went back to another table. After waiting for 30 minutes for the burger, I call another waitress (this one was friendly at least) and ask the delay, turns out the original waiter didn't even put the order. She talks to him and apologized to me. The burger comes over, but well done, instead of medium. After the two bite check up, I pointed out to the waiter who LITERALLY shrugs and goes to another table. Despite not being my desired temperature the burger and the fries were very delicious, so I will give them that. However, the service here is unforgivably bad. I don't understand why, At The Wallace is right next door, the servers and bartenders are super nice and it's also cheaper. I don't think I will go back to this place again. read more

I ordered takeout and had my son pick it up. I was in the mood for a salad and my son recommended this place for their Public Salad, which features fried avocado. Admittedly, it's not that expensive ($17) but it isn't packed with much. I counted 3 half moon shaped cucumbers and a lot of mixed greens. My sone had a BYO Beef Burger. They have other options that might make this a great place for your vegetarian and vegan friends. The fries were not that great and we ended up throwing most of it away. What was most off putting though was I ordered with Grubhub and when my son went to pick it up, he said, "it's either under G___ or L____ as the name." They quickly responded, "No order was placed. It's not here." And were veeerrrry dismissive of him. He had a screen shot of the grub hub order, which they refused to look at. They had zero interest in trying to clear the confusion up. Finally, my son told me to call them because they weren't trying to be helpful. But when I called, the voice message says you have to email them with any order issues. I called my son back, and he had solved it after insisting they look for his name. The two people behind the desk gave no apology - no "my bad." Instead they blamed him, saying it was his fault because he gave two names and they searched for only the first name. It was so cold outside and they were so rude when all you want to do is pick up your food and get back home. The food was meh to say the least but their dismissive attitude sealed it for me. I won't be returning. read more

Harlem Public - The Public Salad (Takeout) - New American Near Me - New York, New York

The BEST sweet potato fries I've EVER had. I don't think I've ever had sweet potato fries as good as what was served to me when I visited this place. It was so good, I got a second order of just fries. I got the regular chicken sandwich and my friend ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich. It was silent when our food came out we couldn't stop stuffing our faces. I also love that they had a decent amount of mocktails on the menu. Actual mocktails with cute names, not the regular virgin daiquiris that lack originality and just omits the alcohol. The restaurant had a cute fireplace in the corner that was lit, which created a cute atmosphere for the holiday season. Would definitely go again. read more

We were in the city for vacation and decided to try out this place based on some killer photos. I tried the pop rock margarita - it was so good. And they made the ice out of juice because they're genius! I tried the Parmesan crusted burger and it was perfection. Cooked perfect, great toppings, excellent fries. Our waiter Sean was a delight and was so helpful whenever we asked questions. The place is small but cute - we ended up sitting outside it was a bit chilly but not terrible. Highly recommend if you're in the area read more

I came a week ago for brunch and it was amazing. We had the macaroni and cheese with pulled pork and my main entree was the chicken sandwich. I had a frozen hurricane and a pop rock margarita. Our waitress Alyssa, was amazing. Lately I have been going out to eat and the service has been below average. I was happy to get good service and great food. When we got there it was empty but as the time went on more people came. Alyssa still kept the great service she would check in on us and had the food coming. The food was also quite delicious and the macaroni and cheese was really good. It was a creamy macaroni and cheese not a baked macaroni and cheese. The pulled pork definitely helped to add flavor to it. My sandwich the chicken sandwich was really good it was flavorful, juicy and crispy. The chicken sandwich had a good chicken to bread ratio and everything stayed inside and was a well put together sandwich. I could taste the maple in the chicken which was quite shocking to me. My only suggestion would be to add a maple sriracha sauce or something like that. The place is wooden inside and a very casual family friendly place. I love this place and definitely recommend it. I am glad they have stayed consistent with their food. read more

Came here for brunch and the food was great. I wasn't sure what I wanted to drink, but the staff's recommendations were on point in my choice for a beverage. Prices were also reasonable as you won't break the bank dining here. Looking forward to coming back here again to eat. read more

Great vibes! Really great beer selection! Great service! Great food! All members of party were very happy with the wings and mozzarella sticks! I had the spicy chicken thigh sandwich, I can't wait to return to try it again. The chicken was juicy, the hot sauce was full of flavor and plentiful. The slaw and pickles were perfect and enhanced the flavor of the sandwich and the warm perfectly toasted bread sealed the deal. You have a choice of fries, taters or sweet potato fies or a side salad. I went with fries. They were good, crisp outside and soft inside. They have a beer company of the month. I had the juice jolt and they had happy hour until 7. I had another IPA. My friends had the strawberry lemonade and they were enjoying it. The ambiance is chill. Great bar atmosphere! Our customer service provider was Camille and she was AWESOME! She was patient, quick, helpful and kind! I can't wait to go back! read more

This is a classic staple in my order in rotation - they have some of the best gluten free buns I've had! The service is fast and reliable

Great service, delicious food. Came here on a Friday afternoon and stayed for a good amount of time and never felt rushed or hurried. I have to say how nice the customer service was- very attentive and kind! I took a star off because food was tasty but I just thought a little pricey for the portion. But hey, it's NYC so maybe I shouldn't complain? $20 for a veggie melt and side salad. They also did not serve coffee. But they said we COULD go a few doors down to a certain coffee shop and bring it in. We were just already settled in by then....and it was too cold for us to justify going out there again haha! read more

The wrong order was delivered, but the burger "Heather" ordered turned out to be quite tasty. Like most places which delivers fries, Harlem Public also hasn't quite figured out how to keep them hot and crispy during delivery, but the burger made up for their "meh" factors . Would order from here again. read more

Don't always overlook a completely understated entrance to a restaurant. Looks like a dive bar inside but still not dismayed it's worth the visit. Seats circling the bar with several tables throughout the dark wood accented interior. Scan the QR code to access the menu. Our waitress who was working alone juggling multiple tables was quick and efficient. The menu offers an array of appetizers and a large burger selection with catchy names like the Jive turkey burger, spicetown USA and wake and bake, that come with either traditional fries, sweet potato fries or tater tots. If you have a taste for something different there's pulled pork, chicken thighs or Harlem public spin on a BLT may interest you (it includes crispy fried chicken). We ordered the Daddy Mac burger and the build your own burger which was bought quickly and piping hot. My build your own was a well done burger it was juicy and spiced perfectly. One party ordered the Purple Rain cocktail which is Vodka, Lavender Simple, Fresh Lemon poured over ice. read more

This restaurant has a large menu with lots of creative, tempting options. I ordered delivery. The fried cauliflower were super crispy. The cauliflower didn't have much flavor, but came with a tangy chipotle dipping sauce. I enjoyed them but they would've been better if fully tossed in a sauce. The mac and steez was great. They use shell pasta and top it with crunchy, flavorful breadcrumbs. It was very creamy and the mac was a good, firm texture. Looking forward to trying more of their menu in the future! They also have to-go cocktails for delivery which could be fun to try. read more

Came from a nearby hospital but didn't want to hang out so near there so walked here for 10 minutes to have lunch. Perfect neighborhood spot with plenty of outdoor seating decorated with flowers. Came for early lunch so we didnt order any drinks. Our server was very nice & patient. we didn't feel rushed at all the whole time we were there. We ordered wings & salad. Wings was good, crispy & well flavored. The salad was okey but kind of small for the price. Caesar salad is just romaine, dressing & cheese. doesn't even have crotons. a few more leaves won't hurt. My friends spring salad was better. She gave me a piece of her fried avocado that came with it & it was good. i think her salad is better than mine. Note to self to order that next time. fyi, tip options for this spot is 20-25%. I like the relax vibe of this place. I'm planning to come back one summer afternoon for a drink. read more

This bar is right up my alley. Give me drinks and real food and I can stay there all day. We came pretty late in the evening so the crowd was winding down for the night. But that's fine because we got a table right away. The server was very nice and the service was fast I was mostly stoked that they had a frozen drinks machine. They have some seasonal drinks but you can always get a frozen margarita. I think the next time I'd like to do it in reverse. Come here to eat and pre-game and end the night somewhere else. Or come earlier and spend the whole day camped out at the bar like a wino. If I lived in the area this could easily become my neighborhood bar. read more

If I make the trip up to this neighborhood to brunch with friends, I feel like chicken & waffle is a must. And theirs does not disappoint! Also, lots of outdoor seating for fresh air and fun people watching. Though it's worth noting that they don't serve coffee, which is very odd for a restaurant in the brunch game. Chicken & Waffles w/ Sausage Gravy: The chicken was just perfect. Dark meat nicely breaded and fried. It was boneless, so much easier to eat with the waffles. The waffles themselves seemed like the liège variety, where they were smaller and encrusted with sugar. While I normally like this crispy waffle, it was a bit sugar overload alongside the maple syrup, so maybe the traditional big fluffy waffle would have been better. Meanwhile, I was initially hesitant to get the sausage gravy, but decided to give it a try when offered as a side. It was excellent to dip the chicken in. So much flavor and nice large sausage granules. I still wouldn't want this poured over everything, but great to dip into at your own pace. read more

I will say Instagram influenced me to come here. I was bored on a Sunday afternoon and wanted to watch some football and somehow landed all the way up here. The staff was extremely friendly, honestly some of the nicest I've had in NYC. They had PLENTY of options to choose from to sit, more outside than inside I believe. The inside dining area was good enough to accommodate a few parties of 4 or more but not too crazy, so the smaller the better. I will say, it was dark in there. I did feel like an old person turning my flashlight on a few times. The drinks were good, love frozen drinks so I'm biased to that. The food was good, definitely wasn't as flashy and glam as the IG posts but it did taste good. If I'm ever this far uptown I would come back. Pros: Great staff Quick service Don't feel rushed Amble menu options Cons: Smaller on the inside Pics online may be a little deceiving Twas dark read more

Stopped for a burger during brunch time and the place was filled the whole time I was there. The turkey burger was good and I was looking for a good turkey burger for awhile now. You can customize your burger or order one of the speciality ones from the menu. I ordered a turkey burger with white cheddar cheese and lettuce with fries. They also have sweet potato fries. Harlem Public has bar vibes so it's real down to earth and laid back. The staff was always moving around and open to give suggestions if you're trying to decide what drink or meal you want to order. They also have tons of appetizers. I ordered the mozzarella sticks which were really yummy and had a good cheese pull. I thought they were a little overpriced but Harlem Public is a cool spot. I'd go back. read more

Love Harlem Public. One of my go to casual spots Uptown when I feel like going out but not out out. I used to love their wedge salad. They need to bring that back. The wings are great. Nice and crispy then tossed in the sauce just way I like it. Fried pickles were on point. I ordered a salad & from the description on the menu it sounded like a Southwest salad. Not even close! So that was a bit disappointing but I still love this place. Our server was great. Sweet girls. They also both had really flawless nail sets. PURRR! read more

I was visiting family in Washington Heights, NY and wanted to walk down Broadway to see what new spots we could check out. My sister suggested checking out Harlem Public in Harlem. This was a walk or short ride down the street. We decided to walk it. This is typically always a good idea because hello... you're in NYC and you walk. There's so much to see along the way sooo...walk if you can. Anyway, we headed out, had fun conversations and saw a lot of cool things walking from aThe Heights to Harlem Public. Once we arrived. I could see this was LBGTQ+ friendly. This was an added bonus because I always have a great time at these type of establishments. Super friendly, open minded and typically more fun. The decor was bright, eye catching and trendy. Very cute outdoor seating. Our waiter was so helpful, friendly and full of uplifting energy. Wish I could get this vibe everywhere. The vibe to me was NYC trendy & fun hang out spot. Exactly what I was as looking for. We all ordered a few drinks, had great conversations and enjoyed the scene. The IPA's are great. We ordered the Fried Avocado...yum! Get this! I loved this spot & it stood out from nearby bars/restaurants. So glad we found this place and it's a must when visiting the area. read more

Everything was decent, nothing was just overwhelming good, I gave this 3 stars but the customer service for the one guy working dolo kind of made me want to give it 4, we just tipped him extra instead. The pop rock margarita was good but I wish it was more pop rocks in it. Please make sure to sub the fries for something else though, they're below average. The fried pickles could be fried a bit longer to lock in the Crispness on the coating. The burger was good, it was a huge bite the whole way. read more

I was out shopping and stumbled upon this cool spot. I heard a lot of things about it but never had the opportunity to stop in. You walk in and high tables and low made of wood. The walls are decorated with picture frames some empty. It's your typical, I guess Harlem Bar. I had the pleasure of Chris serving me. Immediately came to us when we sat down. He had the whole floor but you could barely tell. He moved with grace and did it all with a big smile. ( big reason I'm coming back ) I was super indecisive but he was very knowledgeable about everything on that menu including drinks. I ended up with Chris first suggestion, Spicetown, USA. Whoa! What an insane burger. I usually don't order burgers when I eat out, but I was in a mood. Juicy cooked to a perfect medium. The Veggie options are good and I will be trying the Caesar salad on my return. That was the second suggestion! Hahaaa. I had a few Paloma's and Dusse neat. Anyway good good drinks, good food, what more can you ask for with a -14 wind chill. STAY WARM MY FRIENDS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS HAPPY HOLIDAYS read more
