    The ambiance and music were great for Sunday brunch. My girlfriend got chicken and waffles and I ordered shrimp and grits and both were good. We also had mimosas. The service was quick.

    I was walking by Corner Social on a rain chilled Saturday afternoon and this provided the rare opportunity to get in here without the usual crowds. Corner Social is always busy and forget it from Friday afternoon onwards through the weekend typically. Seeing my opening, I took it today. I walked into the well appointed space and had my choice of seating. I ordered the shrimp and grits and my order came within ten minutes. Given what this kitchen normally handles, the pace of orders today was a cakewalk. The shrimp and grits are served on a bowl of a plate with a wide rim to exaggerate the amount of the serving. It's all very tasty, but they could afford to place the shrimp and sliced andouille on a more substantial mound of grits. Grits are very inexpensive and it seemed they could afford to have more of these creamy grits as part of a more substantial presentation, especially at this price point in the mid twenties. There are about six medium to large sized shrimp with a few slices of andouille to spice things up. To the credit of the chef, the dish managed good flavor without overly salting it or have it swimming in butter. Read that last sentence again. There seem to be cooked onions and peppers in the sauce, rounding out the flavors. Service was good at Corner Social and the bathroom is clean. There are far more things on the menu, but the shrimp and grits leave the palate satisfied, but the stomach wanting more for the value. It's a lively atmosphere with several flatscreens behind the bar to catch the game. 3.8 stars!

    This used be one of my favorite spots on Lenox Ave. since they opened. It has been a year since I last visited, the ambiance and decor are still cool and the service was great but I will not be returning anytime soon. The food was decent but not that great. We came mainly for drinks and they were not good so completed our meals, did not drink the drinks and went to the The Victoria for drinks after.

    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

    A classic mimosa

    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.

    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 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

    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!

    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.

    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.

The vibe is chill, relaxed, and very neighborhood-friendly. Even when it's busy, it never feels overwhelming, and they're usually very accommodating with walk-ins. The service is also some of the best I've experienced in Harlem. My go-to is the roasted duck, which is consistently excellent. It's cooked medium to medium-rare and comes with mango, onions, vegetables, and greens. Easily one of my favorite dishes in the neighborhood. The drinks are great too. I recently had the Nas, their take on a Manhattan, and it was incredibly smooth--one of the best whiskey cocktails I've had in a while. Overall, 10/10.

They do warn you before that the ribs have a bit of fat on them, I think in the context of NY restaurant week I'm happy to pay it but as a solo entree, the amount of fat vs meat would have annoyed me. My friend had the duck, she enjoyed it. But it is very much salad with a side of duck, I believe she had 6 pieces of duck (pictured) and then a mango, arugula and onion salad. Dessert was very good, but I do hope those are not the usual portion sizes and maybe they just served smaller for NY restaurant week. Which I really didn't mind as I was full from the entree and sprouts. Servers were really nice, this place seems to have its regulars and a nice garden sitting area towards the back.
