    Biscuit Breakfast
    Katie B.

    I'm SO excited I found this place. My friend was in town and we wanted to grab a quick breakfast before she left. Clearly a popular place and I've been missing out. We were warmly greeted and directed to the kiosk to order. Loved the decor. We sat down and the food came out in under 10 minutes. I didn't get the girl's name that brought out the food, but she was super nice. We both got the biscuit breakfast. THESE BISCUITS 10/10. I had the chive/cheddar, my friend had regular. The grits were great. Chicken, bacon, eggs were good too. Pernell was personable with everyone that came in and came over to speak to us. They ended up selling out so they closed early. I'll definitely be back - well I actually already have been. I had an event the next day and ordered biscuits to go on GrubHub (ready and waiting when I arrived) and they were just as good. Love the consistency.

    I so wanted to love Harlem Biscuit Co., but my feelings are mixed, especially given the vibe the marketing presents. Let's start with the positive though. The biscuits are fantastic! Light, fluffy, flavorful - it's what you want in the biscuit. While I only had the cheddar and chive ones (my meal was a la carte because...see below), I feel like I can endorse here given that option alone. The eggs were also good, as was the maple butter, a great accompianant. Then potatoes, however, were lackluster. Felt like they were industrially made not homemade, though the flavor was good. I'll also say, the staff was helpful. What I did not care for was obvious upon entering. An employee at the bar motions me to order at the kiosk. I say, "I'm dining in," and he replies to still order via kiosk. Ugh. Not homey at all. Very impersonal. The kiosk is also not that well set up as when you click on each biscuit it doesn't even describe what the contents are. It does give you add on options though. It does also show what they were out of, which was many items. No cheddar cheese, no goat cheese, no vegan sausage. That sucks, and it was close to 12 noon so not late in the day yet. I then so couldn't order the Rosa (biscuit sandwiches are named after Black history notables). My expectations got lower and lower. I settled on building my own breakfast out and decided on the aforementioned eggs, dusted potatoes, and two biscuits option - which for some reason had to be the same flavor of biscuit. I would have loved to sample the standard buttermilk one, but alas, I'd have to drop more for that. I kinda wanted grits, but given that no cheese was available, opted not to. They also only had coffee, no tea, not even just one flavor (I double checked this). You can get apple or orange juice though. You then present the printout to an employee and sit yourself. You also need to get your own plastic utensils and water. I struck up a nice, which ended up being long (like this review, ha ha) conversation who also had a bewildering first experience here, but has been a regular since. He said he sensed my consternation from afar. My main issue with this whole experience is that it felt very impersonal. I get cost-saving measures, truly, but the restaurant pre-arrival gives off a down home vibe you expect from Harlem, but don't receive. And as my fellow diner stated, it would have been cool to have info on the cool art displayed.

    Came here after seeing the owner's biscuit sandwich beat Bobby Flay's on the Food Network. I met Pernell, the owner's son, who was very nice. You order at the kiosk. Was a tough decision among the choices named after great black leaders. Got a Malcolm X $16 chicken thigh sandwich. Made to order it seems. Took a while to get though it was not busy when I came in. Choice of biscuit plain, cheddar and chive, or everything. Wish I had tried some sides but weather was too hot and humid for more heavy food. The chicken was excellent, right amount of spicy for me. The biscuit was moist and flaky, a very satisfying, filling meal. Love the hooks under the bar for bags. Yes, alcohol served here! Nice inside, very red with small paintings and quotes of black luminaries. Cozy front patio on a quiet street. There's also seating area in back. Would come back, better with a group so we could share sides.

    The Queenie
    Yodalis M.

    Biscuits are one of my favorite breakfast items so the Harlem Biscuit Company was at the top of my list to try. I am so glad I got to experience it today! I was hoping for high protein so was in between the Fredrick with chicken sausage or the Queenie with their house cured gravlax smoked salmon. I opted for the latter and it was a magnificent choice. While the recommended pairing was the everything biscuit, I opted for the sweet buttermilk biscuit. This turned out to be an excellent neutral canvas for smoked salmon which is a bit salty anyway. The biscuit was fluffy and soft and very nice to bite into with the fillings. I would love to try their cheddar chive biscuit next, with their hand made spreads. I ordered for pick up online thinking that it was going to be difficult to get a seat. However, there was plenty of room on this Sunday morning before 11a. My sandwich was ready prior to the estimated time of 20 minutes and it traveled well further uptown. Looking forward to my next time at HBC!

    Decided to visit this place, because it was one of many places I've had bookmarked. I ordered two biscuits sandwiches and a drink. I enjoyed the homemade biscuits one being buttermilk and the other was the chive cheddar, and although these sandwiches had names I couldn't remember them, so I will describe it. One was plain biscuit with a fried chicken and pimento cheese on it, and the other was a chicken sausage biscuit with some white gravy on the side. I also had some slaw with the fried chicken and it was the best slaw I've ever tasted. So fresh and so delicious I didn't even care to finish the sandwich once I ran out of the slaw. The chicken biscuit was my favorite of the two sandwiches, it was so flavorful and the white gravy sauce went so well with it I would have preferred to have just ordered two of those. The restaurant also had some good music to bop my head to while enjoying my sandwiches. I wouldn't mind eating here again, customer service was quite good, and they had plenty of space to dine in and eat. I didn't really care for the ordering process of it all l, had to use those ordering tablets. I did get some help so again I appreciate the service. I also enjoyed my meal along with my strawberry lemonade drink. Thumbs up and Happy Yelping!

    I got delivery. Everything came in nice and hot good packaging. I was missing my sauce for my biscuit so that was kind of disappointing because no matter how good a biscuit is you always need something on it like butter jam. And I was looking forward to tasting that chili sauce. Mac & cheese wasn't my jam It's a creamy Mac The cheese flavor had a little kick Just not my type of style mac & cheese but the cheese used for it was good. Chicken biscuit was tasty the chicken was moist and had flavor it was great on the everything biscuit 10 out of 10 Chicken sausage gravy, 10 out of 10

    Biscuit Breakfast Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice
    Danielle G.

    Loved the atmosphere and the music was great! The staff was so friendly and attentive and I believe the owner even stopped by to check on the table while unloading supplies. The orange juice tasted fresh squeezed, the tea was sweet, and the lemonade was excellent! The biscuits are the main event and star of the show. They are warm tender and Tate great alone l, but butter takes it to the next level and there are several butter options for the more adventurous folks, however complain butter for us plain Janes. The grits depend on your taste buds so if you like simple salt and pepper the seasoning used may be too much. The eggs were eggs and the chicken was okay. Overall the food is a 3 not bad not great but solid. The atmosphere, cleanliness, and staff take the experience to next level. I would definitely return or take biscuit to go to use with regular butter.

    The Martin with a side of grits
    Michael P.

    If you're looking for a delicious biscuit sandwich, then Harlem Biscuit Company is a great option. I come here now and again, trying different dishes, and everything has always been great. This time around I had the Martin, which is fried chicken with bacon, egg and cheese. I got it with a chive cheddar biscuit. The chicken was nice and tender, and the bacon, egg and cheese makes for an interesting combination. Loved it. It's one of my favorites, so I have to recommend it! Overall, with the great food, a lively atmosphere filled with great tunes, and friendly people (both staff and patrons), it's basically a no-brainer. As mentioned, I'm a pretty regular customer here and I'll keep returning as I try different things on the menu. I always have fun there. If you go I'm sure you'll love it also.

    Langston
    Vanessa J.

    Came in for a late brunch fix, couldn't have picked a better spot to grab a fresh biscuit sandwich. This was my first time here and I was not disappointed I can see what the hype is about. We started by ordering the Langston. which had fried chicken, pickles, onion, and chili garlic honey on a cheddar chive biscuit, and we got the Bodega, bacon, egg, and cheddar cheese on a cheddar chive biscuit. Let me just say the biscuits were fresh the chicken was perfectly cooked and everything was fresh and full of flavor. I cant wait to come back again and try another one of the biscuit sandwich's. Shoutout to the staff and manager for being very nice and making sure we had everything we needed. Also enjoyed the vibe of good music and great energy in this place.

    Sticky biscuit!
    Rebecca B.

    We had an amazing breakfast at HBC and when we mentioned that our daughter graduated from college yesterday, he brought out a sticky biscuit with a sparkling candle! It was fabulous! We left with happy bellies and sweet memories! Can't recommend it enough. We stopped by on the way to the Intrepid for a busy day in NYC!

    Cheddar Chive Biscuit

    Harlem Biscuit Company 2308 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. New York, NY 10030 Chive Cheddar Biscuit My original plan was to keep it simple by ordering a cheddar chive biscuit, but the server highly recommended supplementing one of their butters. After spreading herb butter on the half, I was hooked because it added so much flavor to the biscuit.

The fruits platter was also excellent - came with a good amount of various sliced fruits (cantaloupe, honeydew, orange, kiwi, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries) that were all very fresh. The milk, however tasted thick and a bit bitter. Not sure if they gave me homogenized milk (3.25%) or the milk was starting to turn bad. Unfortunately I couldn't drink it.

There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.
