I've been eating here for years, I've literally never been disappointed! The lamb burger and the shrimp avocado wrap are two of my favorite menu items! read more

All of our apps were so delicious and the vibes were amazing. Can't wait to come back!

Great food and even better drinks! Nice ambience and location is very close to the 1-9 subway. Live music would make this place even better. read more

This place was pretty amazing. The customer service was great. Our server Will was so kind and attentive . The lamb burger was cooker to perfection and the cheese fries was delicious. The music was on point. Love the vibe period. Definitely should come here. Also, get the Brownie Ala Mode read more

The food gets five stars but the third party delivery system Ruins the food.. our delivery came an hour late, they went to the wrong address across town, and they gave me the wrong chowder. Other neighborhood restaurants have restored doing their own deliveries. I hope they soon follow... the 3rd party delivery system leaves no opportunity to communicate with a human being until it's too late... read more

This space has a great lunch special. Waiters always provide great service. They have a bar and a TV where you can catch mid day sports if you'd like. They let me change the channel because it was a soccer match. The soup / salad / half sandwich lunch special always hits the spot for me. I can go healthy or order a side of fries to scratch my sweet spot. If you want to go by yourself or with someone for a cheap lunch, this is definitely an option. read more

Toast - I have the pumpkin soup (pumpkin and in shape or form is good in my book!) with the Cajun catfish sandwich. - New American Near Me - New York, New York

I've walked by this restaurant so many times but never always was too nervous to go in because it looked like a dingy bar from the outside until my friend and I came here for brunch on Sunday. This places is actually pretty cute and quaint on the inside. We both ordered the breakfast sandwich. I got mine on an English muffin with pepper jack cheese and tomatoes. It came with home fries. The sandwich was very yummy, the eggs were runny just the way I like it! The server was very kind, although he forgot to mention a couple of things. The sandwich came out to be about $15 with tax and tip which isn't too bad. Definitely will come back for a quick bite since I am in the neighborhood often! read more

Toast - I love this place, frozen margarita, food is excellent nice place to b - New American Near Me - New York, New York

When I need REALLY GOOD SALMON AND A GLASS OF RED WINE ... (( Honey Child)) I'm hooked. The prices are unbelievable reasonable. Diverse crowd of beautiful New Yorkers... Not to mention that there's a bar also. Very dim lighting for the lover in you! #Harlem read more

This is my favorite spot in New York. Everything I've had here is delicious-- the BBQ pork sandwich is my go-to, but the meatloaf is also delicious and they make the best chicken Caesar wrap in the city. Try the rum punch if you're thirsty. The atmosphere inside is cozy and relaxed (pre-Covid, anyway) and these days it's great for delivery. Highly recommended. read more

Good Columbia University haunt. Food here is very good at reasonable NYC prices. Their french onion soup is worth getting! Portions are on the larger side as well. Waitstaff is very friendly and every time I've been we've been seated right away. There's a few outdoor seats as well when the weather permits. The bar can get kind of crowded and there always appears to be a few regulars who post up in their usual spots. They have a good beer selection and prices (especially during happy hour) are quite reasonable. I'd recommend the BLT! read more

so being from NYC, it's still mind boggling the amount of resturants popping up in Harlem. This is a good thing. YES, broadway & Lasalle st is in Harlem, not NOHA, Harlem. Enough of the name soapbox. Toast is the typical watering hole for Columbia students and locals alike. Beer & Burgers are the staples of the menu although they do sell breakfast ANYTIME of day and have a few entrees which appear to rotate (salmon, chicken meatloaf). Beer menu was pretty good, wide variety although they didn't have the DogFish brew i hoped for. My bride got the regular bacon cheese burger and I got the lamb burger and neither of us were really impressed. The feta overpowered the flavor of the lamb. Noise level was a little high, but maybe i'm showing my age, not being a college student any more. I might give it another try with a different burger, but plenty of other places to try first. read more

Toast is like the pleasant surprise. I was reluctant to go but decided to try my luck one day. When I tell you all the food I've had there has been not only well seasoned and tasty, but reasonably priced as well. The drink special are nice and on Tuesdays you get half of any bottle of wine with your meal. They are open late everyday. read more

Always good food. Service can be less attentive at times (less attentive when they're not busy, for some reason). Appreciate the outdoor seating. Good craft beer selection usually. read more

Super cute establishment in Harlem! Very homey atmosphere, and great American classics (think BLT, steak sandwich, salads, burgers, etc) the staff is lovely! I had opted for their version of the French Dip, and added Swiss and mushrooms. My colleague had a sliced steak over salad. It appears that the steaks are on point! Tasty and tender! Looking forward to a return visit next time I'm in Heartland!! read more

Went there for a brunch with my friend. The place and atmosphere is cozy, the prices are very reasonable. We had the eggs Norway which was good and a generous portion. My friend had the eggs and salmon which she liked. Their sweet potato fries were great. Our bill came up to less than 40 bucks for coffee, orange juice , two entrees and a side. read more

Really recommend this spot for a quick bite . Henry was amazing! Helped me out with my order from my drink to meal. I am from Houston so this was a nice quiet and sexy lunch. I am definitely a woman who loves ducked off places where the whose who can go to and just chill out. I ordered the Danish Burger which is stuffed with blue cheese. I forgot to take a pic before BUT just know it was A 1!!!! I had to make sure I sent in a review:))) read more

The service was a little slow for a Monday lunch, but it was worth it for a good gluten free pasta! Unfortunately didn't have gluten free options for bread/buns (that I could access at least), but the shrimp penne was absolutely divine. read more

2.5 stars Ambiance is an eclectic mix of oddities: walls are decorated with black and white photographs, stamped aluminum beer posters, and paintings, the music rapidly flipped between mariachi music and Phil Collins (eh?). The hipster vibe was in stark contrast to the family-style diner seating and the clientele (mostly parents and kids, at least at 6pm). Our server appeared to be stoned and definitely wanted to be on roller skates. I was surprised that there wasn't mustard on the tables, given that it's primarily a burger joint, but was not surprised that our waitress failed to remember to bring it to the table after we asked twice. The burgers were average - although there was a good variety and all sounded awesome on the menu, they failed to live up to expectations. The hand-cut fries, however, were delicious (despite some apparent controversy in these reviews, I AM RIGHT). Happy hour is from 5-7 and 11-1, and only entails a $1 discount off beer and well drinks - I'm thinking there are better happy hours elsewhere, yes? read more

I'm not sure why Toast has mediocre reviews. I thought it was awesome. Slightly biased because I came stumbling in post winter storm Jonas aftermath, but they were open and ready for brunch. Homefries and salad comes with all egg dishes. Their homefries are absolutely amazing. Their salad is also amazing. I also had the eggs florentine, which was nicely poached (not too runny) and had a good amount of spinach. A fairly large plate for a really good price. Had some nice tea as well. The price per person for brunch is about $15, which really isn't bad for the area, as some places can run you upwards of $20. I really like Toast! The waiter was also so friendly and the space was just very welcoming. They also have a bar where you can sit if you enjoy having an alcoholic beverage with your weekend brunch. A lot of the specials listed on the blackboard also were delicious and fairly price, so I might consider coming back and trying those! read more

Food poisoned. I'm not pro Yelper or anything nor is my stomach weak but I ordered their "special" ribeye and it was rancid. They said the kitchen tasted it after returning and it was fine which means that the must have COVID because they have lost their senses of taste and smell. I had to throw up in the bathroom and the establishment was gracious enough to take the death meat off the bill while charging an unannounced 3% credit charge sur-fee. Our waiter was great, the drinks were great, the app wings were great, the food for my two companions was great, but if the kitchen tells you the rancid meat they served you was okay, I would reconsider. read more

I have been here twice and wasn't impressed either time. There's little choice in this area, so I stumbled into this place again and decided to give it another chance. I got there with my girlfriend on a wkend nite around 9:30 or so. The place was packed, so we were waiting by the entrance, because the bar was overcrowded. After a few minutes a table for 4 gets available and we are told by the embarrassed waiter that we need to continue waiting until a table for 2 is available... manager's decision. We look behind us and NOBODY is waiting to be seated. We are the only ones standing by the door. I understand the rule, but since there was NO party of 4 waiting for that table, I believe that dude made a mistake not seating us. At that point I would have left, but my girlfriend asked me to wait some more time and I did. I'm telling u: waiting by the freaking door for a table and keep starring at that empty table in front of us we were not allowed to get was really a very annoying thing to do. After a while we were seated in another table and ordered. Now, I don't want you to think I'm one f those guys who gives a bad review to a place just because he thinks he was treated unfairly. It's not the case. This place deserves a bad review for many other reasons, too. Let me explain to you why. The service is very slow in this place, so you gotta order fast. They came with the wrong order for me, so I ended up getting my burger AFTER MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DONE WITH HER MEAL. My burger was just average. My girlfriend's salmon was dry and plain. The beer was washed out. So, not even the food was good. I did not go to the bathroom, but my girlfriend wasn't impressed by the cleanliness. Never again. I'll just buy a sandwich at the deli next time. Screw that. For the record, NO party of 4 came after us claiming that table. Therefore that clown could have been professional and allowed us to sit by one of his freaking tables. In the end, we were paying customers bringing money in. The only frustrating note on this review is that I wish I didn't have to give them the star. This place deserves none. read more

Stumbled upon this place while looking for a brunch spot after visiting the Harlem week festival, and so glad we decided to give it a try! We walked in around 2PM and were promptly seated. I ordered a Bellini and one of the specials (avacado eggs Benedict) with mescaline greens. A side of mescaline greens, salad or home fries is included with brunch entree options. This was probably the best eggs Benedict I have ever had, and was a large portion size as well! Had 3 eggs and 3 English muffins (as opposed to the usual 2 and 2). My husband ordered the Norway eggs, which is essentially eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. He also felt this was one of the best egg Benedicts he had ever had. Very reasonably priced (about $11-$16 per brunch entree) with excellent service! Definitely worth checking out! read more

Toast - Avacado eggs Benedict with mescaline greens - New American Near Me - New York, New York

Although I'm a good millennial who loves her avocado toast, it was only after figuring out that the restaurant was NOT called Toast because they only serve fancy toasts or something that my friends and I decided to come in for dinner and drinks on a Saturday night. They have Happy Hour from 5-7 PM, but our waitress made the suggestion that they also offer pitchers so we opted to get a pitcher of margaritas with our meals. It ended up being a good recommendation, I'm usually more of a frozen marg person but I was really impressed the classic margaritas that they served. Tasted very fresh! I ordered the shrimp and avocado wrap (guess I was still thinking about my avocado toast), it was pretty tasty although a little lettuce heavy for me and I probably could've done with some more sauce. I also enjoyed the Caesar salad that came with it, but my friend who ordered the same wrap decided to get sweet potato fries as the side and liked them as well. Our waitress was kind enough to warn us that the ketchup that they keep on the table is a spicier version and offered to get us normal if we preferred, but it wasn't too spicy and was very good. Overall we had a nice time there. Everyone enjoyed their meal, it was busy but not too loud for conversation and the waitress was friendly and helpful. I would love to come back for their jazz nights! read more

I ordered a burger from Toast over Grubhub and it came without condiments. What kind of restaurant would send out a burger without condiments? Needless to say, I won't be ordering from the restaurant again. read more

Summer Sunday, slow start. Avocado toast with over-easy eggs and a side of crisp bacon, iced coffee. The side of bacon is quite a generous amount (enough to share) and is curled up/crinkly, obviously cooked in a pan. My eggs were initially not as I ordered but they quickly fixed it. I'd return. read more

My boyfriend took me to toast for drinks because I've never been there and I was not disappointed. Great customer service, nice atmosphere, awesome food, delicious fruit beverages and courteous staff. I would definitely refer my friends and family members to go. We'll be going back soon. read more

Toast is a cool place to eat. The atmosphere is laid back, the food is good, and the service is quick. They are known for their burgers and that's what I had. The tacos looked delicious too. The beer and wine selections keep the crowds pleased. Our waitress, Vanessa was very friendly. All of her suggestions proved to be great ones. This is my 2nd visit and I will definitely be back again soon. We were able to enjoy our meals without feeling rushed. The place was packed. Come with your friends or your boo and you won't be disappointed. It's easy to get to as well, on Broadway and 124th Street in the heart of Harlem!! read more

It was my first time New York brunch experience. Which is a big deal I guess because a young man tried to use the promise of brunch to seduce me into coming back to his apartment... So brunch is pretty much the most important meal of the day in New York if it's being used as an aphrodisiac. I didn't go home with him, but I did go to brunch at Toast. My expectations were certainly high after that encounter. I had the eggs Norway after I told myself that I should try something I couldn't get at home. Cooked to perfection. I'm not huge into ungrilled fish, but damn, that was the exception. Not only the salmon but the aioli sauce on top of my poached eggs was excessive and delicious. And can we talk about their homefries for a second? Like biting into a perfect sweet potato and not a McDonald's' hashbrown. You all must simply try this place and get the eggs Norway. While you're at it, get a $5 mimosa. You'll feel like a Danish queen. If I had known that brunch was going to be that amazing 24 hours before, I probably would have gone home with that guy if only for the Eggs Norway. Brunch is love in New York City, and Toast is the alter. read more

Toast - Eggs Norway! - New American Near Me - New York, New York

The place reeks of burnt grill. It almost makes your stomach turn. My overeasy eggs were fried dry. The coffee tasted like it was made 2 days before and our server couldn't remember a straw or lemons after 4 times asking. He was pretty scarce most of the time and it took 3 times asking for the bill to get it. Not the best food or service for so many better spots to choose from. read more

I got a make your own Omelette. Pretty solid. Lots of goat cheese! This was the second time I've been here and I'm very satisfied. Their omelettes are fluffy and stuffed with toppings. They also give you home fries or a salad on the side with bread or an English muffin. It's decently priced for the quantity of food you get. I can barely finish the dish and I end up passing it off to friends. Also the wait staff is really nice and accommodating. It's a perfect place for a Sunday or Saturday brunch because it's a chill place thats not crowded. Also, they have lots of hot sauces! Can't wait to come back next time I'm in the area. :) read more

Service was good and outdoor seating was nice. I think I chose the wrong item to order, since the others I was with seemed to enjoy their meals more. I ordered the chicken penne, and it was rather clumpy and too salty. The portion sizes were excellent for NYC read more

Stumbled upon this place by accident looking for a new brunch spot and was pleasantly surprised. Also returned for lunch and had another good experience. Atmosphere is a typical bar type vibe, a little dark and not too decorative. I would definitely take friends here but probably not a date or an older relative, but that's a personal preference. Food was excellent both times I came. Got a short rib eggs Benedict (it was a special) the first time and a burger the second time, both were really good. Mimosa was also excellent (and a good price) and I liked that the home fries and French fries were well seasoned. Both waitresses I had were great, both of whom were friendly and patient. They also were able to make a specific substitution for my friend (barbecue chicken in the Mac and cheese instead of buffalo) so it seems the kitchen is also great at being helpful and welcoming to the customers. Will definitely come back soon. read more

This was my third time visiting, and hands down, the service was FAR superior to the previous two times I was here. The same feelings applies to the food as well. This time around, I order the lamb burger (as opposed to the roasted chicken and the turkey sandwich) and IT IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. The pesto sauce for the burger is the best pesto I've ever had, and the lamb is stuffed with feta cheese. If I come back here again, it will be for the lamb burger. read more

My server Sarah C was awfully disrespectful. Kitchen took a minute to finish my Mac and cheese and she disregarded checking back in with me. Sara made it her job to ignore our table numerous times making me call her over multiple times. After hailing her down like a cab 4 TIMES! Yes indeed 4 times! Her colleague decides to come over, I explained to him my Mac was not cooked fully and was grainy. He grabbed the Mac and cheese and I explained to him I rather not have it since at this point my food is done. He says "no problem" . Later on returning with our check we did not ask for..... the Mac and cheese is on the tab! The place is giving "believe it or not". She says she can not take the Mac and cheese off the tab after they threw it away and she can only give my a 50 % on a 6 dollar item!!!!! Sara Sara Sara ! I'm from the area but you made me just not want to return to toast ever again! A manger that was disrespectful and attacked us with disrespectful wording and saying "You don't care" "it is what it is" "I'll use my tip to pay if I have to" next time be more respectful and represent this business better because it is older than you! I hope to hear back from this business because I am a influencer and decided to check out my neighborhood favorites & it was a disappointment. read more
