I grew up eating Sylvia’s on the regular but it’s nothing like it used to be when she was alive. Her niece has a spot called Amy Ruth’s which is really good like Sylvia’s used to be. They all was in business together but it seems like Amy took the recipes or secret ingredients with her! Lol 😂

Sylvia was such a sweetheart. I went there before and after she passed; it is not the same, she used to walk around and talk to customers like you were family visiting her, especially when they had the Jazz Brunch on Sundays, it was packed. I went back in 2014 and the food seemed a lot of "from the can" or "frozen" collard greens; this is what happens when soul food becomes just another stop on the tourist buses that stop there for out of state and foreigners who will not know what Sylvia was like back when she used to put her foot in it, lol.

Between Sylvia's and Mo's burgers they fed a whole population, not just generations. I went to Sylvia's in my first family trip to NY, I went to Mo's in my first solo international trip. Throw in Joe's Pizza, Papaya King and the cheap Chinatown restaurants to the equation and trust me, they made my trip the best

I'm team Sylvia's all day, everyday, always slamming customer service, dope food, on the money music and entertainment, fantastic experience. My birthday breakfast, every year, past 12years.

I’ve eaten here twice. It changed my life!! I’m from the south (Memphis)and we swear can’t nobody throw down like us. Well it’s true BUT Sylvias was just amazing!! I’m a big fan.

Yes I ate at Sylvia's back in December 2002, with my honey from Lake Jackson Texas. We had the smother stake, and smother chicken with greens and Mac and cheese rice and grave, and corn bread. Highlight of are Xmas that year. Thank you blessing us with soul food.

There’s no love in the food anymore, it’s just a generic recipe. There’s used to be an old man cheffing it up in the back and they put young cats in the front who have revamped their old recipes to cater to new needs.

I ate here it was amazing I had corn bread, greens, catfish and it was SO good. Oh and an iced tea I think. Im English and was visiting my brother who lives in New Jersey. The people in Harlem we passed were so cute, one shop has a cat that they brought out so my young daughters could stroke it, my youngest daughter was 18 months old and a lot of the friendly locals gave her a wave and kept commenting on her blonde hair. Dont beleive the bad comments on Harlem our experience was brillaint.

I ate at Sylvia's a long, long time ago. I don't remember when it was. I don't recall what I ate. I remember that it must have been great, because everybody says it's great. It must have been great, because it had to be great. Madam Sylvia came and greeted us, looking simply divine in diamond earrings and a heavily used apron. There were a couple of big shot politicians there, especially the U.S. Representative who will always be the Big Man on the Congressional Campus! I thought the place would be kinda pretentiously bourgeois. No! It was laid back and cool. People were there to drink heavily and eat the finest soul food in the world beyond Africa and the cotton plantations in the southern U.S.A. All I remember was that I was drinking, laughing and dining with friends, and gorging my toothpick of a self. I probably left Sylvia's ten-pounds heavier, happier, and hungry as heaven! God rest your Great Soul Food Soul, Madame Sylvia. Say hi to God for me please. And let God try some of those smackin' CHICKEN LIVERS, Sautéed w/ Onions & Peppers, Topped w/ Gravy, Seasoned to Perfection w/ Fresh Herbs.

This is SoulFood👏
