    Us enjoying a birthday party at the location

    This place was great! The food was delicious and the drinks were also good. It's actually larger on the inside than it looks. We also had a nice area in the back.

    The food was amazing and delicious as always. Came here to celebrate my daughter 16th birthday she loves seafood and they didn't disappoint. She couldn't even finish it lol. The service was great. Our servers were outstanding and did everything we asked and needed.Thank ya'll so much and the beautiful lady who helped me on the phone that day thank you from the bottom of my heart for making everything go so smooth‼. The ambiance is loud music which I love and I love how the inside looks very nice vibes. It has a little dance area in the back I loved it all will definitely come back.

    What can I say? I met these guys @ the Uptown Harlem Market fair in April 10th 2025, which happens every other Thursday throughout the summer. Checkout festival or their (2) locations on either E. 117th st or Frederick Douglass in NYC. Now, to the good part! The food is top notch. I ordered the Catfish & steak fries. The Catfish was very lightly breaded & the taste was amazing It wasn't overly seasoned , but tasty Yummy! I recommend, this restaurant.

    Popped in today for brunch after my nephew's graduation. First thing I'll say is this is not a brunch place. This is a place for evening as such the service was a bit slow in the beginning. We were a party of eight and they did take gratuities upfront. Let me stop here to let you know that this is a cash only establishment. Something we were not aware of. Once the service got going, everything was quite good. The one thing I will tell you not to order is the cake -the whole cakes do not taste your time or money and they charge $70 for the cake; otherwise Jonathan and his entire team was fantastic. We enjoyed the vibe and the energy of the place and once the food arrived everything was quite good and as you will see, we had a little bit of everything. I love the fact that anything we were dissatisfied with Jonathan handled expeditiously and that is the reason for the four star rating. I have no doubt that if I came here at night when the vibe is alive that this might be a five rating. Memo to the restaurant- the whole cakes are either just bad or old - either way you're charging too much for them.

    So i came here this weekend for a birthday dinner. This spot is cash only. Drinks were $20 a pop (for a drink in a plastic cup), plastic utensils, and a napkin dispenser. They created a space where you can dine in the back which was decorated nicely. But, the service was abysmal. The food was okay. I ordered crab cakes, mac and cheese and candied yams. The Mac was great. The crab cake were okay, and the yams were also okay. They had a pre fix menu for parties over 6 i believe. The options weren't plentiful, but it did what it needed. The pre fix menu comes with 2 pitchers of an alcoholic punch. The dj on Saturday was great. Will i come back, probably not. It left a little to be desired. We had a party of 9, and they don't take reservations, we had to wait super long for a waitress, food and drinks. No water was offered to us. Plastic everything! But, we made the best of it. They also had a cake cutting fee of $45 for plastic utensils that you get from the dollar tree. Whew! Talk about a swindle lol For a $95 dinner, i expected so much more. See pics below

    Authentic southern food! Delicious and fresh! Looking forward to going back and trying new things there! The wings were so fresh and crispy! And the mac and cheese was slamming not too creamy but not hard and dry either as a rock.. just right ! Perfect consistently and flavor all throughout! I think it is worth the price point based off the portions I received!

    Lighthouse Fish Market in Harlem is hands-down one of the best soul food spots I've been to. I had the catfish and shrimp with a side of mac and cheese and yams, and every bite was packed with flavor, seasoned to perfection, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the sides tasted like real soul food, not just filler. The vibe in there is so warm and laid-back, like a true neighborhood gem, and the staff made me feel right at home. I also tried their signature drink; a mix of Lighthouse Punch and Rum Punch and it was the perfect balance of sweet and strong. You can tell they put love into everything they do here. Definitely coming back.

    4 Piece Catfish Strips, Crab Cake Dinner
    Mike Z.

    Stumbled on the restaurant after an accidental trip to Costco when the store was closed, but I can feel good about it because of the delicious seafood! The restaurant seems to be new given the balloons everywhere, and the decor is also nice. The inside is a bit dark during the day time however, so maybe better for a date. There is also a popping takeout counter in the front. As mentioned, the food was great! My favorite was the cat fish strips, yum! Only downside was that all the food felt a bit heavy and the prices are a bit high, otherwise would be 5 stars!

    My niece saw Lighthouse Fish Market on IG and wanted to come with friends prior to their departures for college. We planned to dine-in on a Sunday at 6pm. Like some other venues, reservations aren't accepted on the weekend. You will pass the take-out counter and bypass the people waiting when you walk in. We were approached by the hostess and were lucky to not have a wait for a table of 7. The dining room has an open floor plan. It is a fun / lounge like ambiance with a DJ and available hookahs. We ordered a variety of meals from the menu and everyone was satisfied. From what I remember we had: crab cakes, chicken wings, catfish, crab legs, dip, pasta, cabbage, and candied yams. My catfish was freshly fried, lightly coated, seasoned well and not salty. I don't know who makes the cabbage but they are good! I wanted to drink the juice. Speaking of juice - I had the 32oz blue lemonade and it was delicious, not to mention a generous size. All in all, I would come back with friends or for takeout.

    Deep Fried Catfish with Macaroni Salad and Macaroni and Cheese
    Samah I.

    This place is CASH ONLY. There is an ATM but it requires a two dollar withdrawal fee which isn't bad but like why pay two dollars when you can come prepared lol. To go takes card but if you're dining in bring at least 100 bucks because they include 20% tip on your bill and if you eat plenty like me and my friends you're gonna need to bring all the coin. A plate with two sides is gonna run you an average of 28 bucks but they really don't skimp on those sides. The Mac and cheese was admittedly the least impressive of the three sides I tried. The garlic mashed potatoes had a little bit of skin and nice flavor and the Mac salad really surprised us with the tuna that was included (for some reason that wasn't mentioned on the menu). The garlic salmon was BEAUTIFUL, nicely cooked, no fishy taste or smell, good garlic buttery flavor, whereas the catfish was just okay, kinda skinny and a little dry with little flavor. Go for the salmon!!!! Also tried the banana pudding cake which was pretty good and pretty hefty for about 7 bucks. The frosting didn't taste too much like banana pudding but was enjoyable nonetheless. I would be interested in trying another flavor next time. The vibes of the lounge are really fun so it's a great spot to hang out and enjoy the music and lights.

The first word I'd use to describe my meal is dry. The second is flavorless. As someone genuinely from the south, this just doesn't hit. The chicken, cornbread, mac and cheese and greens were all dry. The chicken reminded me of church's fried chicken with less flavor. The Mac and cheese was salty but not seasoned. My friend got ox tails with black eyed peas... her ox tails didn't fall off the bone and the black eyed peas seemed undercooked. I will say if you're from the south and looking for true southern cuisine this is not your place. If you want just a meal you'll be fine.

She also had the Arnold Palmer, which was great. Comes with fries which were good. I had the oxtail, with a side of garlic mash and Mac n cheese. Yes!

The space and volume seemed to overwhelm the staff at times. Service was friendly and welcoming but also frazzled and disorganized. We never received our appetizer until we reminded them, and our drinks (sweet tea and lemonade) also had to be requested again after a very long wait. To their credit, they did pack up the crab cake appetizer to go and removed it from the bill, which we appreciated. The fried chicken, mac and cheese, and yams were all served on top of each other. If you dont like for your food to touch, this place will be a nightmare for you. I ordered fried catfish, collard greens and potato salad. The fried catfish was served swimming in collard green juice (there's a picture of it). It was also surprising that you only get one piece of catfish, which felt underwhelming for the price, especially since it was soggy. The potato salad was served in a small separate bowl, which is typical in many Southern restaurants for ALL side dishes. The mac and cheese had good flavor but the cheese wasn't fully melted. The yams were dry and not very sweet despite the menu description. The collard greens were on the sweeter side, which may work for some but wasn't my preference. The potato salad the only thing that was solid. Overall, it felt overpriced for the portion sizes and execution. The bartender seemed very skilled, and the drinks we saw being made looked great, though we didn't order any. After the long wait and missing appetizer, we skipped dessert and went elsewhere. The bathroom also needed attention and was not well maintained AT ALL! Ew The restaurant is very loud which didn't bother me at all but an FYI. It is also handicapped accessible and kid friendly. I really wanted to love the experience, but it fell below expectations in terms of service, cleanliness, and value. I might give them another try but no time soon.

I am Haitian, so trust me when I tell you I know good food when I taste it. This is the kind of food that makes you hum while you eat. The kind of food that makes you forget about your diet and your errands because nothing else matters in that moment except what's on your plate. The flavors were rich, seasoned all the way through, and every bite tasted like somebody's auntie or grandma was in the kitchen putting real love into it. What I really love is that it's buffet style, so you already know I was piling my plate with everything that called my name. You get exactly what you want and as much of it as you want, which makes it even better. Harlem has so many gems, but Manna's is one of those places where you can feel the community and the history in the food. The price is more than fair for how satisfied you will leave, and you will be thinking about that plate long after you finish it. When I say this place is worth the trip, I mean it. If you see me driving down to Harlem again, mind your business, because it is probably just me, my mom, and grandma (who came along for the second ride) going back for another round.
