You know when you're in the mood for brunch but don't know where to go? That's exactly how my cousin and I ended up at Row House. It was my first time dining there, and my cousin had been before and said it was a good choice--so we went for a cute little summer brunch moment. As soon as we walked in, the vibe was bumping. They had a live band playing, people were up dancing, and the energy was really good. The live music does make it a little loud, but honestly, it added to the vibe. For drinks, I went with a white sangria, and my cousin had the spicy guava (I believe). I can't recall exactly what she ordered to eat--and for whatever reason, I didn't snap a picture--but I ordered the steak and eggs, sunny side up, with a side waffle because I wanted one... well, half a waffle. The steak and eggs came with a side salad and home fries. My steak was cooked to perfection--seasoned, juicy, and just right. The eggs were cooked beautifully, and I was definitely not unhappy. Everything hit the way it was supposed to. The service was great, the food was good, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience. I'd definitely go back. read more

My friends and I visited Row House on Sunday for brunch. The restaurant is one block south of the B/C train stop on 116 St. & Frederick Douglas. Located in the heart of Harlem's restaurant row,the menu has a variety of mouth watering delights. From fan favorite chicken & waffles to salads, sandwiches, and shareable Row House has something for everyone. The bar had beers on tap, and bottles/cans as well as frozen drinks, wine, cocktails, punches and sangrias. There are also mocktails for those who do not want to partake in drinking. Our waitress was amazing. She listened to what people desired and suggested items for those who were unsure of what they wanted to eat. The atmosphere was beautiful, bright and inviting. There was also a jazz band playing which definitely elevated the dining experience. I will definitely be back! The restaurant is super convenient to get to. One block south of the 116 read more

My pal Marc invited me to his Brunch Day party so I made my way up to Row House. Very nice venue and the music was hittin. I was also meeting a friend there and when they arrived we shared their classic Mac and cheese. It was pretty good. Could use a bit more flavor honestly but it was cool. The bartenders were on point with our orders and we had a fun time. So if you're in the neighborhood pass through Row House. Their menu has something for everyone. Have a good one yall! - Ray read more

If you're looking for a time to be had, head to Row House. Now walking in, they don't sit you u til your entire party arrives. No seats at the bar, ok cool. Once my friends arrived we were seated and the water was given. The food was really good. Those Brussel sprouts were really good. And to think I never like them lol. There is 2-for-1 drinks but only if you buy food. But the drinks are hittin. All we needed was 2. The people are standing up and dancing at their table and just having a great time. The music is loud, but not loud enough to where you can't talk with your party at your table. The DJ Korrek was on the 1s and 2s and he did not miss. I am more than sure I'll be back. A time was definitely had. read more

We had a family birthday dinner here In the middle of Harlem, such a vibe!! Reservations for 7pm and the dinner table for 20 was not ready! Waited about 1 hr to be seated Waited about 2 hrs for the food to be served. Some drinks were strong while others weren't ! This place gives an older vibe , with a lot of grandpas trying to talk to every young girl that walks by. The best part was the music ! It was so good with a girl DJ (miss Saigon)..she was definitely setting a vibe with the hip hop and reggae . And very aggressive!!! Food is OK! I did taste old oil on our food, the crab cake was definitely off, with a mixture of a lot of things instead of actual crab lump Also, the food came out at different times for the guest. Negative.. I used the bathroom and the bathroom host did open my door... idk y but ‍... read more

I walked thru Harlem today as I met up with my HBCU alumni association, for our year end meeting. We had our own private event space downstairs in the restaurant. It is a great space to meet and greet about 15 to 30 patrons with a bar. We then moved to the restaurant and were welcomed and ordered brunch. This soul food restaurant is a spot that focus on small plates, that you can share, I definitely liked the concept for a girls days out of for an alumni meeting. I enjoyed the crispy battered fish tacos with pico de gallo, salsa verde tacos, and hash browns. The hash browns took me back to breakfast in the South. They take traditional soul food dishes like mac and cheese and add lobster. Row House boasts a menu of seasonal cocktails, craft beer, and a respectable wine list. The Spicy Guava Jalapeno mixed Union Mezcal, Triple Sec, Guava Puree, Lime was on some spicy hypnotic taste. Loved it. Brunch is different up here, a LIVE deejay, music, drinks, dance, and good vibes. Row House compliments the history and culture of what we know as "Harlem." This place is loud and lively. If you are looking for a quiet space...seriously this is not it. I can't wait to come back. read more

Staff and Owner don't care about guest. Extremely crowded each and every Monday for "Martini Mondays" and even with reserved table and continuously buying bottles and food, you will be asked to give up your table after 2 hours so that the owner can seat friends and family. Table next to my table jumped up because roaches were crawling on wall behind them. Staff knocked the roaches down and walked away. Long lines for bathrooms . One bathroom have a broke toilet that doesn't flush so it overruns and flood. BEWARE OF WET FLOOR! STRAIGHT NIGGA BUSINESS. Not grown folks. Double and triple parked cars. No parking. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! read more

I love this spot. The vibe is grown and sexy, so you won't see a bunch of teenagers and 20-somethings there. I've been there twice and there was a live DJ each time, playing good music. So people are definitely on their feet, dancing. I've tried a few of their dishes and enjoyed all of them. But my favorite thing of all is their Jamaican Rum Punch. It is delicious........and strong. Some of my friends tried other drinks and were also happy. I will definitely be back. read more

This was my first visit, I met a friend here for a meeting and I was so shocked I'd never been there before. The menu was very intriguing and I love that it had a good amount of variety for only one page. It was a Sunday evening and we got sat quickly, the waiter was super friendly and he made sure answer all of our questions about the menu in detail. I ordered the Braised Short ribs and they were amazing. The rum punch was well made and strong and the ambiance was very chill. The first impression was a lasting impression and I will definitely be back to try more. read more

The Row House is definitely a vibe. The ambiance, the people and the music was great. I love that happy hour is over at 8. It's very crowded, so you need to be there early if you want a seat. read more

This spot was interesting. First, it was packed with people on a Saturday afternoon. No standing room at the bar or even in front. It was impossible to grab a table without a reservation. It was truly a madhouse. Luckily for us, we had a reservation. Unfortunately, they sat us at a table for 4, and we were a party of 6. It was very tight in there. Thanks to all the people, the tables being on top of each other... just all around a busy place. The vibes were dope. It's more of a mature vibe i would say. The music was loud and bumping. It was a mixture of 90s and 00s R&B and hip hop. (I would've expected nothing less from Harlem lol). But where they lacked was the food... So as you can see below, these tacos were NOT worth the hefty price of $18! There was also nothing jerk about those small shrimp. The taco shell was just there. Not toasted or anything. The shrimp were covered in some kinda sauce which wasn't bad, (mayo based or something). It just wasn't at all what i expected. It would've been better with a mango salsa or something. The tacos were a 2.5/5. The wings were flavorless without the sauce. It's amazing how it's a soul food establishment and the food was this bland. Lowkey mid for real. Now them lemon drops were amazing! Each one i had was great. All in all, will i return... sure. I feel like i need to try them again. Maybe not for brunch. Dinner or just for happy hour if they have that. They have a cute space downstairs because the table limit is 2 hours. So after they suggest that people go downstairs. It's a few tables and chairs, an open space for dancing and standing, and a bar. Theres also bathrooms down there as well. I can't front, a time was had. I'll just eat food elsewhere. See pics below. read more

I was craving soul food while in Harlem. It was the weekend of the block party festival. I will be honest I was disappointed. The person who is outside that I spoke to was slightly rude so I went online to make the reservation because he gave me no insight whether there was a wait to get in. We got it immediately. It was really loud from the DJ and we were not happy with our meals. The coding on the chicken was dry and my husband's food was tasteless. Only my son's food tasted good though it was very small portion. He had shrimp and grits. I really wanted to love this place but it just wasn't in the cards this time. I do think it had to do with the amount of people so the service wasn't the same as what I've heard so I definitely will cut the venue some slack. It was a very busy day. read more

Row House - Dry soggy fries - New American Near Me - New York, New York

Came to Row House for a big graduation brunch with about 9 friends yesterday (Saturday) and from the start this place was so much fun. They had a dj who, in my opinion, nailed the vibes (but am not sure how often he's there). We decided to do bottomless brunch ($25 per person for 90 min of bottomless bellinis or mimosas) and the service was quick and the drinks kept flowing. Additionally, I ordered the truffle grilled cheese with bacon and fries ($18). I love truffle and this was easily one of the best versions of this sandwich I've ever had. I was living in the moment and forgot to snap pics, but I think that's testament to how much I enjoyed my time here. It's really a place that you come to for the vibes. read more

Came here for a birthday brunch. Happy to check this off place off my to-do list! I've been wanting to come for a while. I like that they have brunch day parties- and it's conveniently located. It's a woodsy homey feel - the staff and overall feel of the space is welcoming. I had Truffle Lobster Mac - I considered myself somewhat of a connoisseur having had it all over the city and out of state. This one would be a 3 out of 10. Why? It lacked the richness that I'm used to. I'm used to not being able to finish it because of how a nice truffle can overwhelm the palette if I eat too much. This one was of a "less quality". Truffle is supposed to be funky, a good funky of course but theirs was bland, unfortunately. Maybe it wasn't aged long enough. And I was concerned about the lobster as it really gave imitation crab meat. My GF had Truffle Fries and the Fish Tacos. She said her fries were underwhelming and cold and her tacos lacked flavor. Sips- now our Sips were nice. Shout out to the Mixologist! We had 2nds for drinks! The TVs make the space live and the ppl were vibing. Maybe we'll give it another go and get different bites to eat. read more

Found myself at Row House this past Valentine's/Galentine's night, on the suggestion of a cousin I was out with. We were looking for a place to chill, listen to music and shake off the funk of a really crap dining experience on the same block. Row House was it! We were able to walk in without a wait. Once we were inside, all of the tables were full or reserved so we just stood for a minute and took in the vibes. A young woman named DJ Miss Saigon was in an area at the rear of Row House, setting fire to the one's and two's. Every song that she tossed out was a jam and the atmosphere overall was just excellent. This is Harlem the unofficial fashion capital of NYC, so almost every patron was dressed to the nines for V-Day. So many fur coats and fur hats, looking great and having a blast. The music was great. Jorge, the main bartender, was very kind when most would be overwhelmed by all the drink orders. He was cool as ice though and moving like he was battery powered. Mohan, the really personable host at the door, promised us that he would keep an eye out for any table cancellations. We ended up snagging seats at the bar after awhile anyway. I had barely touched my food at the first place that we were at and the servers kept zipping past with such tasty looking food. I ordered an appetizer of lobster empanadas. They were tasty, crispy and lightly fried, served with a delicious dipping sauce. I ordered a tasty ginger beer based mocktail and then pineapple ginger beer mixes for the rest of the night. We were told that a party was starting downstairs but we didn't stay for it. I really enjoyed myself at Row House. It serves all the fun and fashion that you see and read about a Harlem experience, in 3D. I'll be sure to make reservations before the next time I go. Can't wait to put on a big fur hat and eat, drink and dance amongst all the Cat Daddy's and Foxy Mamas. read more

It's an all inclusive, non judgemental, party in your seat. If you're not shy, there is a dance floor. DJ is very engaging and plays music for everyone. The drinks are not skimpy with the alcohol. The pricing of the drinks and food was very reasonable. I would have had a few more drinks if I weren't driving. The food was good and tasty. The portions were just right. You can have an appetizer and a meal and not leave there feeling stuffed. If you're looking for a good time, this would be a good place to start. read more

Food was surprisingly really good! I came here to celebrate a family member's 60th birthday and they have a special called martini Mondays where all martinis are $10 until 8pm.

Row House - New American Near Me - New York, New York

The best part of this restaurant was the music. The DJ was turning out hit after hit, mostly blasts from the past. I definitely had a good time dancing in my seat. I ordered the short rib rigatoni mac & cheese and deviled eggs. The mac & cheese came out warm and cheesy, had a great flavor, but the short rib had a lot of fatty parts that I couldn't chew down. Now, the deviled eggs! The beet brined deviled eggs were absolutely delicious, topped with crispy shallots which added a nice texture. The service was pretty efficient, no complaints. We had a reservation for 1:30 pm on a Saturday which I would say is an ideal time if you want to avoid a big crowd. If I came back, it would definitely be for the music..and the deviled eggs. read more

Wife & I had dinner at Row House Saturday. Great vibe as we walked in. Everyone was happy & enjoying themselves. Front area is your standard drinks section, tables & dinner in the rear. DJ played my favorite classic R&B songs and then some. Menu has an array of food & drink options to pick from and the prices are very reasonable. Service was excellent and food was delicious. We drank a delicious passion fruit drink called "Your so vain." & had the chicken & waffles. Lobster empanadas & fish tacos. Delicious. I definitely will return and I highly recommend the Row House. read more

This is our second visit for brunch after Church and we are very disappointed. The service is great, the atmosphere is nice but the food has a lot to be desired. The French toast is just bread with a sprinkle of cinnamon and hard. The butter frozen. The shrimp and grits were not prepared last week so we though it was a must have this week. That was a mistake. The grits were cold and unable to stir. The shrimp we tasty but did not carry the dish. This was very disappointing. read more

Enjoyed the meal here as well as the ambiance and live Jazz! This is a great brunch spot. The meal came with a drink you can choose including mimosas and sangrias. I ordered the crab cake eggs Benedict. It was delicious! It also came with potatoes and a small salad. The potatoes were well seasoned with onions and peppers. Really enjoyed them! My friend ordered the shrimp and grits and noted that there were only 3 shrimp, but seemed to enjoy her meal overall. She also had a salad as an appetizer. Really had a great time here and will keep this place in mind for brunch in Harlem! read more

This place is an ongoing shitshow of nonsense. The music is LOUD, it's like being in a club with posers and wannabes. The food is ok but the atmosphere is a total turnoff, I could barely smell the food for the INTENSE cologne/perfume on the guests. Wearing the entire bottle really isn't necessary, maybe a shower would be better. There is often some spillage of a party onto the sidewalk, people with their own booze (this seems to be the Henny/Coke, Henny/Cranberry Juice crowd)-where this ridiculous idea came from is beyond be. Since when do people put Coke or cranberry juice in cognac????? We passed the place yesterday and I've never seen such a mess in my life, people drinking in the street and on the sidewalk, LOUD music and the stench or weed everywhere. Walked past today and the garbage on the sidewalk and at the curb is disgusting. Is this the legal obligation of Row House to clean it, probably not, but it sure-as-shit is their MORAL obligation. It looks like someone emptied garbage cans at the curb on both sides of the restaurant. Empty Hennessy, Patron and Don Julio bottles everywhere, plastic cups and mini-juice bottles. So this is also the crowd that buys their booze at home and then pulls-up to a public place to party but not spend $1 inside the establishment... Pictures attached are just a sample of the street in front. This place is blight on the neighborhood and if I could, I'd get them shut down! read more

If you can't get a resy at blvd then Rowhouse is a great alternative. Went here for Valentine's Day after having horrible food at Melba's. The music was on point. Crowd was mixed with old school Harlem and younger peeps. Drinks were great. Dj was on point I came here again afterwork for dinner. I had the burger ( just wanted something basic) but it was still good. My burger was well done and I asked for medium well. They had no problem re doing it with a new plate of fries as well. The wings were on point. It definitely gets crowded fast so glad we had a resy. Music was good and dj was just coming in. This will always be a go to spot of mine in harlem. read more

Row House is a great little comfort food spot. I had dropped into this place once before for drinks with a friends and decided to check out the food during my visit this last Friday. Made a last minute reservation for my friend and I for dinner and I definitely was not disappointed. Everything was great from the service to the food. My friend and I decided to share some of the appetizers on the menu: - deviled eggs (really great flavor and I loved that the eggs were beet brined) - fried okra (these were good but not the best, more batter would have made them great) - Mac and cheese (total show stopper! So creamy and delicious) - hand cut fries (the fries are a must! Super crispy just how I like them) - mashed potatoes (smooth and delicious, and everything you want out of mashed potatoes) The server was on point and constantly checked in and refilled the water glasses when they were running low. I love the vibe of this place, the only warning I would give is that when I was there they had a DJ which made it very hard to hear and to have a conversation (this may just be a Friday thing) Would definitely come back to Row House as there are a few other items on the menu I would love to try! read more

Went for brunch in Harlem with friends. Very crowded but service was very good. Enjoyed the food. Will return in the near future,

Very expensive restaurant. Came here on a date and split two orders. I wasn't really hungry so I let her have what she wanted. She ordered the steak salad, mashed potatoes, and a drink. She ended up sharing everything with me anyway. It all came out to $52 so I'm happy that I didn't buy myself something. The drink alone was $17 for a small cup of alcohol. Although it was strong and she drank slowly. The food itself was actually really good. The salad surprised me because I'm not much of a salad person. The dressing they used was delicious and the steak was good. Unfortunately it was well done but I enjoyed the crispiness of it. Other than that it was a pretty standard salad. I will say, the thing that stands out about this place is the ambiance. It is like half club and half restaurant. There is a live DJ there playing loud hit music and dancing is encouraged. Even from outside the restaurant it looks like a party is going on. I found this surprising because I never been to restaurant like this. The patrons were getting up from their seats and dancing with the music and with each other. Some people even went next to the DJ and danced there. Unfortunately this does cause some problems. As fun as this place is, I wouldn't call it a great date spot. Its hard to have a conversation here and be in the moment. After a while I was ready to move on from here. The other issue I had here was that service was slow. Often times I had to get up and find someone. It feels like we were often forgotten. The layout of the restaurant was a bit of a mess. Seemed too disorganized and its not surprising that service moved at a snail's pace. If you wanted anything you had to go seek out the waitstaff. My date went to the bar to order her drink. I had to walk around the restaurant to find a waiter for napkins. When we were ready to go I went up to the hostess to get our bill. The place is a vibe, come with friends. I wouldn't recommend this spot for a date night though. read more

Went here for Martini Mondays, this past Monday. $10 martinis from 5-7pm. Food was good I got the lobster Mac as well amazing .

That really rubbed me the wrong way, as no one told us when we were seated. read more
