Great food, horrible service. I have ordered here off doordash a lot and was surprised how much i liked it because I assumed it would be fast food ish. it really is more like home cooked and the unique menus items are really dope and the sweet potato fries with the maple aoili are to die for. the fried green tomato chicken sandwich is my go to and i love it i dined in on a random day where i had some free time and the girl at the counter was so unbelievably rude i couldn't believe it. she honestly seemed perturbed that i was there. i wont go into the boring details but thats how you know the food is good because the service was honestly some of the worst i've experienced but still gave it 4 stars i dont think people need to be jumping off the walls at work excited to see people but neutrality or non-hostility seems like a minimum requirement. read more

I ordered the yam fries and a lettuce-wrapped burger based on the cashier's suggestion, and he was genuinely great. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. He deserves a raise or a promotion, honestly. The food itself was fine. I finished the sauce that came with the yam fries and asked for more to finish the rest of my fries. I was told only one sauce comes per order. No problem. I said I would pay for extra. The cashier said he would check with his manager. Manager said no. So let me get this straight. A customer is literally asking to give you more money and the answer is no? I went up to speak with the manager directly. He was on his phone, ignoring me. I had to ask the cashier to get his attention. When he finally acknowledged me, he repeated that it is one sauce per order and there is nothing he can do. I explained, from a business perspective, that it makes zero sense to refuse to sell a customer something they are willing to pay for. His response? He would "talk to upper management about it." Sure. Then I asked for a refund on the fries. He told me to bring them back. I did. Then he said, "Well, you ate most of it, so..." and tried to flip the whole situation. I never complained about the fries. I wanted more sauce. That is it. Do not twist the conversation. The cashier was the only person who handled this with any professionalism. He acknowledged the issue, apologized, and actually tried to help. That man should be running the store. The manager, on the other hand, argued with a paying customer over a cup of sauce and lost a customer for good. Won't be back. read more

Anytime I'm around Brooklyn or Harlem I have to stop by the best smash burger in the city "Harlem shake" Harlem shake is the best smash burger spot in the city to me because it already comes as a double burger while most spots only doing a single patty. Burgers are delicious with bold flavors great house sauce fresh crispy lettuce/tomato. I recommend this burger spot for everyone to try out indoor/outdoor seating. The Brooklyn location has a fountain drink machine so you refill as much as you want which is perfect for the kids. The curly fries are crispy seasoned come with smoky chipotle mayo. First time ordering the cookies and cream shake I felt like it was too much milk I like my milk shakes kinda thick. But I did love their Irish coffee shake made with Baileys Irish cream this was delicious. I recommend this burger spot all the time if you like smash burgers. You will forget about that place call 7street and shake shack. read more

Craving shakes and burgers, Harlem Shake is the place to be. First come, first serve seating. We almost sat by the window, the seating was like an old school lunch counter but after approx ten minutes, we scored a table. Food is ordered and paid for the counter, then bought to table. We ordered the Jerk Chicken sandwich and an Impossible burger. We unable to share an order of fries because everything cooked in beef tallow so we order a small arugula salad with avocado. The chicken sandwich was crispy and flavorful, the pink slaw was crunchy and vibrant. The Impossible burgers also hit but adding the arugula and avocado to the sandwich made all the flavors pop. The pistachio shake was thick, creamy and went perfectly with the burgers. Beautiful decor and wonderful staff, next time I'll leave my boyfriend at home and order the onion rings. read more

I tried Harlem Shake and I must say it's a great late night delivery option and they also have a few different drink choices. The burgers were definitely tasty and the Frozé was refreshing. Everything was packed well and they use extra covers on the drinks which I loved. My burger was pretty darn good. Definitely looking forward to visiting this location. read more

Recently visited here before a Nets Game. I do try to switch up my order but I know what I love here. The Hot Mess is so good. It's a classic burger topped with pickled cherry pepper & bacon relish. I'm obsessed with the bacon relish. I wish they sold it separately too. I also ordered the Jerk fries and added the jerk aioli which I'm also obsessed with. I did try my friends jerk chicken sandwich. I didn't love it as much as the burger. But overall the hot mess is highly recommended. If jerk is too spicy for you, try the truffle fries. Staff is always nice. A good amount of seating. AND they have happy hour! Enjoy. read more

I had tried some of the food from an eater event before so i came to try since i was watching a game nearby. The hot mess had 2 patties which i didnt know but it was really good. Mildly spicy. The fries were crispy on outside and soft on inside. How i prefer my fries. Fairly quick service. Cute retro vibes in there. The georgette was refreshing. Love 50/50 type drinks. Will be back to try their shakes next time!! read more

Stopped in for a bite before a Nets game eight the girls and had the best time! It's a pretty small space but it has this great cozy, locals vibes that I love. A great mix between young families and adults stopping in after work. We each ordered our own sandwhich, I went with the original chicken sandwich which was juicy and delicious, and for the table we ordered a bunch of different fries. My personal favorite were the curly fries, always the best choice imo! But the cheese fries were also a top contender, maybe a cheese curly fry to be a real winner? The jerk fries were so tasty but I think I am a little too white to appreciate the heat level because after a few I was reaching for my milk shake (went with the black & white that was perfection even in the cold!) more and more. read more

I stopped by Harlem Shake in Park Slope and was seriously impressed. It was my first time trying their smashed burgers, and I'm hooked the option to choose different seasonings really lets the flavors shine. I'm always a burger fan, but add a little jerk sauce and I'm completely sold. The spot gives off old-school diner vibes, which makes the experience even more fun. It's totally family friendly as I always see people bringing their kids here afterschool for a bite. Since my first visit, I've been back three or four times and tried the crispy chicken sandwich and their specialty hot dogs both delicious. Don't skip the seasoned fries; they're the perfect side to any meal here. Harlem Shake has quickly become one of my Brooklyn go-to spots for burgers. read more

I love a good burger and shake and am so glad that Harlem Shake has an outpost in Park Slope! We stumbled upon it yesterday and were intrigued (I grew up in Harlem but well before they opened their first one there). The retro Art Deco vibe was immediate and transported you to an earlier, simpler time where you could take it easy and have a good time. You order at the counter (Steph took our order, and he's a pleasure to talk with) and then take a seat while they prepare your meal. The Boys To The Yard lunch special (just $16!) gets you a double cheeseburger (the patties are from Pat LaFrieda!) or buttermilk chicken sandwich with fries and a milkshake (a nod to song "my milkshake brings all the..." ). Oh, wow! The burger was smashed, crispy on the edges and so juicy with pickles and onions on a Martin's potato roll - pure heaven! The chicken sandwich, also on a potato roll, with coleslaw and hot honey was equally good. The fries were a perfect complement, and the shakes were so thick and creamy - awesome! This is elevated fast food, reasonably priced, made from great ingredients that taste fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch there and looked forward to coming back to enjoy the food, music and vibe there! read more

I love a burger joint that offers gluten-free buns. Their smash burgers are really well-made and don't feel too heavy. I only wish their fries were also gluten-free, but unfortunately it's in a shared fryer. The milkshakes are also very tasty. Given the portion sizes and the freshness of the food, it is reasonably priced. The customer service is also really great. They are always ready to tell you about the specials, allow you to use the bathroom, deliver you the food quickly. There's always ample amount of seating and they have a TV playing Cartoons and good music. read more

I ordered this place for takeout because I heard they had good burgers and I'm glad I did. I had the Harlem Classic with beef burger and it was delicious and tasted homemade. Those beef patties were made with love and well seasoned. The bun was nice, soft, and buttery. I added onions and that was a nice touch. The curly fries were fresh and crunchy but the chipotle mayo was a little too spicy for me. Nonetheless, this still was a good side item. Lastly I had the salted caramel shake and added Oreos. The shake itself was nice and creamy, but I couldn't really taste the caramel. It tasted more like a cookies and cream shake with a hint of caramel. Definitely adding this place to my list read more

I had never ordered anything from them and finally on a lazy day I said what the hell lol! It was good too. I ordered the hot mess burger. That was tasty! Recommend and would get again! I also ordered the Oreo shake with added malt. Also, a very good choice when you're in that I don't give a damn mode and just want to veg out. Recommended. For sure. read more

Such a fun, old school vibe, a mix of both nostalgia and retro, a definite ode to the culture of Harlem. I'm adding a half star to make it 4 1/2 's. My partner is a a big fan of milkshakes. There are so-so milk shakes and then there are the luscious milkshakes. He had the cookies and cream shake which was, rich, flavorful, frothy, a frozen perfection. My partner had a classic hot dog and we shared the fries. The fries were nice and crispy with, the skin on. I had the "Snoop Dog." An all beef hot dog topped with chili and cheese. I don't eat hot dogs very often but, this one was worth the splurge. A tribute to Harlem and old New York. The service was very friendly and courteous. Next time we will try the burgers. We will be back. read more

I was all set to do the Hippy Harlem Shake and as u I started my rotation, the order arrived. Boy, my hips did an about face. Let's start at the top ( see my pics of what's delivered vs. what was shown on restaurant's website). I ordered the Harlem Impossible Burger, the website shows 2 patties and charges $13 ( huge appetite today, skipped lunch). What I got was what I expect from 7th Street Burger, a flat smashed burger. The cheese wasn't melted, a few onions and pickles in a soggy "brioche" bun. Sorry but a complete rip off. The only plus was the burger taste was good. My friend ordered the Classic Harlem Burger, another listless flat burger with same condiments as Impossible. The curly fries were stuck together and the "spicy " chipotle mayo was bland. Here's the worst part, we both paid extra for BBQ sauce and what was served was I have no idea what taste it was but not BBQ. I also ordered the 12 oz Black and White shake.. that tasted like pure chocolate. Please take lessons from Shake Shack on how to make a proper Black and White.. I'll leave it there. Needless to say, I will never shake rattle or roll into Harlem Shake. ** this review is delivery only read more

Harlem Shake - Harlem Classic w/ Impossible - American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ordered the Hot Mess cheeseburger and my friend ordered the same without cheese. The kitchen mixed up our orders. I realized after a couple bites that mine was missing the cheese. When we brought it to the counter, they offered to remake my friend's order correctly, but refused to simply swap his untouched burger to me, even though that was the one made correctly for my order. The man working there did not seem to want to own up to the mistake and did not suggest any resolution. He just told me I was out of luck. I paid for a cheeseburger, didn't get one, and the fix was sitting right there. Disappointing way to handle a simple mix-up. That being said, the burger (even without cheese) was pretty delicious. read more

Food was good but pricey. Many options for shakes which was great. This is a great quick date find in Park Slope.

I ate here in 2023 while visiting NYC from California, and I've been fantasizing about the Hot Mess burger ever since! The bacon relish and pepper jam work so beautifully together with the heaping helping of melty American cheese, it's gotta be in the top three burgers I've ever had in my life. I also had the Irish coffee shake and a fruity lemonade, both of which were also excellent. The atmosphere is chill and casual (counter service), but still fun and vibrant. Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in NYC! read more

Looks very retro and vintage and it's in the corner of Fifth Avenue of Park Slope. They have a location in Harlem and Park Slope. The Park Slope location has outdoor seating with a tent for shade and also a dog bowl for water in front of the restaurant. I ordered the Harlem Classic burger (beef patties with American cheese, onions, pickles, and special sauce) and Jerk Fries with Jerk Mayo for dine in. The burger came out looking very nice especially the bun is not wrinkly or messy. The beef is a thick cut and very juicy. Jerk fries on the other hand were kind of plain or bland. I couldn't taste the jerk seasoning and it lacked the spice. I should have opted for regular fries instead. Ambience is very casual and fun. Good for families and couples. Utensils and condiments are available on the counter so you don't need to ask the staff for ketchup or mustard or napkins. I couldn't finish my food and the staff was nice enough to give me boxes and a paper bag to pack it to go. Very friendly staff. read more

I came here for the first time and ordered the classic smash burger. This was a solid smash. You are able to add a bunch of toppings for free as well as others that cost extra. The chili cheese fries were amazing. There was one employee that stood out to us. She gave great customer service and was very helpful. She was friendly at the door and continued to go out of her way to take care of us. read more

Would be 5 stars, but its not for the reason im about to mention. Ranking burgers from these spots, Shake Shack, In n Out, Five guys, Mcdonalds, Wendys, 5th st Burger, smashburger and Harlem Shake. Harlem Shake is #1. Great balance of toppings, sauce, the patty is so solid, the buns solid too and I freaking love their shaved onions. Everything else is completely unremarkable. Fries, super mid. Shakes, like not sweet? Normally Id say thats a good thing cause most fast food spots are the opposite, but theyre not sweet ENOUGH... which is unusual. What else.... Hot dogs, like fine but nothing to write home about. Oh and the non burger sandwiches are solid. Their turkey burkers are good. To sum it up, their main character energy is strong. Supporting cast, unremarkable. Still worth going for the burgers. I still order them knowing the fries and shakes are bleh. read more

I ordered through Uber Eats for delivery and it did not disappoint. Everything was delicious and I think I found my new burger joint. I ordered the Hot mess but fearing it'll be too hot I opted out of the relish because I'm such a weak girl with heat but after trying those delicious smash burgers I really wish I would've gotten it just to try it. I also ordered a chicken sandwich and it was well seasoned and fried. I can tell it was brined nicely in some buttermilk. The coleslaw could use a little bit more flavor but it was very delicious overall. I'd come in person to eat because it's pricy ordering online for delivery but a little splurge here and there won't hurt. The hot dogs are also beefy and nicely grilled. read more

The classic burger was good, but $9 for just the burger, and the size of the burger you receive, is not good value in my opinion. The special sauce reminded me of Raising Canes sauce, but weaker in flavor. On the bright side, the cashier who took my order was very nice, and the burger was hot and made to order. read more

I recently visited Harlem Shake because of how much my daughter's friend talks about this place so I said let's give it a try. We were immiediately greeted as soon as we walked to the counter & offered menus. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries. I waited a few minutes before my food was brought over to my table. The burger looked so juicy & fresh and it definitely was! Everything about this burger was so good. The burger buns were so soft which in my opinion made the burger so much better. The fries were okay, nothing special about them. Just regular fries that were hot and tasted fresh. read more

Okay, we were looking for a CONSISTENT and affordable smash burger spot. This is it. They serve up the best cheeseburger and surprisingly it's not too greasy!!! My main issue with 7th street burger is that it is so greasy it soaks through the bun. Never had that problem here. We order takeout from here once a week or so and it's never let us down. The fries always arrive perfectly warm, the burger delicious and hot dogs to die for. Vanilla shake is solid too. Love this spot. read more

The best thing on the menu is the Irish coffee shake. Thank me later I ordered the hot mess with beef and a side order of Cheese fries. Everything is sold separately here. Be prepared to watch ya bill increase as you build a meal lol. The flavor was good overall. My burger was loaded i enjoyed that. The service was cool. it was a Saturday night about 40 mins before closing. Food was hot and fresh . The concept is cool it's just a bit pricey but worth checking out read more

In an area that is crowded with burger places, Harlem Shake holds its own. The vibe here is friendly and casual with counter service but much cleaner and less crowded and rushed than the nearby Shake Shack. The fries here are probably the best in the area. Crisp, properly fried and piping hot. I'm a fan of the chicken breast sandwich, but wish the slaw had a touch less celery seed. Burgers are really good and perfect if you are a fan of the smash style. read more

Honestly this was such a good local burger joint and I can wholeheartedly say I will definitely be coming back. The curly fries knocked it out of the ballpark for me.

The only thing that can do better is the ambiance and the service is kind of nonexistent but if you come here for the food- it's pretty decent! read more

My family was in the mood for burgers so we decided to check out this place that opened in Park Slope. I didn't even realize it was a chain but just thought it's always nice to check out a new restaurant in the hood. Came here on a Friday night for an early dinner and it was very quiet so we snagged a booth inside. They do have seats outside but honestly I'm over sitting outside in December and eating a cold burger. Anyway, we ordered their Harlem Classic burgers, truffle fries, sweet potato fries and 2 shakes (oreo and peanut butter flavor). The burgers (smashed style) were flavorful and so good. The truffle fries were amazing and a must get. The sweet potato fries were ok but a bit soggy to my liking. The shakes were thick, kind of like custard style but very good judging by how my daughter and husband refused to share. Overall, a great experience and great food. read more

Slope style: Shake review only. It's a fun snazzy corner jam paying homage to its original & the diversity of the new 'hood. You can get a shorty or regular. I got a shorty and paid for extra flavor plus $.50 for whipped cream. Ate: Chocolate & strawberry organic shake with whipped cream $8.71 Certainly am excellent shake but why not use glass in lieu of plastic for dine in? Not the top compared to the soft serve versions at jersey freeze & marvel but very good. They know have a veg option for burgers which is promising. read more

I love a good smash burger and these folks make a great one! Perfect crispy bits on the edges, well cooked on a soft bun with fresh toppings. Got the classic cheeseburger the first time because I always like to start with what a spots famous for and it didnt dissapoint. Also got the fries which were solid. Second time I got the burger with the hot mess topping which is a bacon jam with chopped cherry peppers so it gives the burger a nice kick. The jerk fries were also good. Have added Harlem Shake to our list of lunch spots to order from. read more
