Melba's New York Reviews from The Last Year
Made a reservation, arrived and was seated promptly.
Our waitress was amazing, didn't rush us as I wanted to choose wisely. I went with the Signature dish, Chicken and Eggnog Waffle. It was beyond my expectations. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy in the inside. Seasoned perfectly. The waffle was so fluffy and the strawberry butter was the perfect compliment. Didn't really need the maple syrup. To highlight our dining experience, the owner, Ms Melba came by to chat. She was down to earth, gracious, and her kindness was appreciated. This Connecticut girl can't wait to visit again. .

Food was delicious service was good just need a bigger place .Get there early or you will be on line.
Listen Linda! Melba's food was amazing.
I ordered the catfish, collard greens and potato salad. Everything was truly perfect, but I seriously got stuck on the potato salad, as it was truly perfect. Tasted like it was out of my mother's kitchen! The servings were hefty and you couldn't eat it all in one sitting. The greens were a little sweet, a little spicy and a little vinegary, which made them a lot yummy! The catfish was fried perfectly and I ate it with no sauce, it didn't need it. We happened to dine in while Melba herself was in the restaurant and what a kind and absolutely sweet woman she is. The art work is amazing! Best food that I enjoyed on this trip to NY. Oh, always get a slice of sweet potato pie - delicious!
I dont typically go for soul food often these days because
I dont typically go for soul food often these days because the weight keeps on climbing, but I am happy that I finally got to try out this harlem staple and I would not mind going back Food: 9/10: It was juicy, the waffle didnt taste like egg nog but it was still delicious. The mac was everything I needed it to be. Overall some solid food. Drinks: 8/10 superrr strong which is good no complaints there, but overall it was too overpowering and you couldnt taste much of anything else. Service 6/10: considering there was barely any people there at the time we arrived service is extremelyyyyy slow my goodness. Our waiter was a sweetheart but seems like she was by herself running around table to table Ambiance: 6/10: This is not a place you go for the aesthetic if you're looking for a birthday restaurant etc, you go there to get your belly full and keep it pushing. But you will not be disappointed!
Loved! First time and it won't be the last.
We had a craving for soul food and this hit the mark! The soul spring rolls were spectacular, the fried chicken crispy, the spinach was fine, although not my fave and the greens had too much sugar for my liking. That didn't however deter from the meal overall! My gf had the oxtails with mac n cheese which she loved! Highly recommend this spot and ask for Kenny! He does not play about his tables. Just go!
This restaurant is ABSOLUTELY Horrible! Food tastes
This restaurant is ABSOLUTELY Horrible! Food tastes terrible! I don't know what kind of food Melba is serving, but It was disappointing, and it's definitely not the real soul food...It's a bunch of garbage! I would hate to go in that kitchen and see who's cooking back there...Definitely not any real cooks/chefs. I visited NYC second week in April, and couldn't wait to get to Melba's due to all the hype...Will never go there again...NEVER;! I was planning on going into detail about just how awful the food was, and how uninviting and dirty looking the patio entrance to the restaurant was, but I get a nauseous headache just thinking about it. And the one restroom for all the customers is ridiculous...There was another one, but I guess it was for the employees because it was off limits to customers . MELBA, you need to invest the money you're making into revamping your restaurant...Rebuild/remodel...get some new cooks...buy quality food...In fact, you should be ashamed of yourself, and the people who are writing these raving reviews need to STOP IT...STOP MISLEADING PEOPLE...especially Sherri Shepherd! Sherri STOP promoting Melba's....I know she's your friend and all...but, you gotta know that her food is CRAP! WARNING: DON'T GO TO MELBA'S!
I finally achieved this bucket item.
I think it was Melba herself or maybe a fan that claimed her carrot cake it one of the best in the land. I am sorry to say I had high hopes of this being true. I recently visited NYC taking my great granddaughter on a fun vacation 4/22/2024. My first meal was DoorDash from Melba's we were wore out from the flight. I would have tried more things on the menu but they only let you spend 100.00 with DoorDash delivery, don't get the reasoning. We got 2x oxtails, greens , 2x Mac and Cheese, carrot cake, sweet potato pie, yams and maybe chicken strips not sure about the strips.. Strips and bacon is the only meant my great grand will eat. Ok, here goes I have had much better carrot cake that being said for me the icing had the right amount of nuts just a little sweet, that spot of pineapple was just right not enough nuts in the cake for me and not moist enough, it has the makings of being one of the best. Did not like the thin cut oxtail actually gave most everything to homeless. I liked the Mac and cheese my granddaughter said she needed more seasoning . Loved the yams didn't eat them but I wished that mixture of yams was what she used for the sweet potato pie it needed those yams to be my kind of pie. Now hear this Melba makes the best greens in the world!!!! Those greens are the bomb. All in all her soul food feels like it is from the heart would I go back heck yes. There are many soul food restaurants that don't get it nearly as close as she does. Melba's is a safe experience. Great grand enjoyed American Dream, Bronx Zoo, FAO Swartz and Serendipity oh and the room.
The food and/or drink made me vomit before I could even
The food and/or drink made me vomit before I could even take more than 5 steps outside. I ordered fried chicken, candied yams, and macaroni. Then I ordered a drink as well. The food came early but the drink never came. My table finished our food (and their drinks), and after 25 minutes and two asks, we receive my drink and a note that "the drink is free and was made with extra love". I'm not sure if it was the food, the drink, or a combination of both -- but I feel like this may have been intentional. Especially given how "special" and delayed my drink was. I will NEVER return. Just go to Sylvia's, y'all.
Melba's service was warm kind and quick.
There is a waiting area at the front of the restaurant that is large enough to take your coat and even hold a stroller. The decor is simple and elegant with some great paintings which honor Black culture on the walls. The small bar is cozy and the bar tender is welcoming. Drinks are sweeter than I'd like but if that's your palette you'll enjoy. The food is the real reason to come. Everything was good the oxtails were full of meat not just fate and bone. The Mac and cheese was so crispy on top with tender macaroni and a smooth luxurious cheese béchamel. The yams were the perfect texture though a bit sweet. The collard greens were some of the best I have had in Harlem. The Smothered chicken or fried chicken is excellent; Crispy skin tender meat , seasoned well and balanced. Plus we were served food within 10 mins of ordering. The price is right. For the serving size and quality the price is very affordable. I Recommend for sure.
We had the traditional chicken and waffles.
Wow! That and the terrific rum punch make Melba's a must visit.
I can't believe I didn't discover this place sooner! What a
I can't believe I didn't discover this place sooner! What a gem! The food is so delicious and flavorful. I ordered crab cakes with yams, Mac and cheese, and collard greens. The collard greens and yams are the best. They have decent sized bar to sit at or tables if you prefer. I didn't order a cocktail but I did have the Melba's skinny margarita. The owner has her own canned margarita!! It was super light but I felt a very nice buzz. It was perfect because I don't like feeling too tipsy and it has delicious flavor. I wish there was way to purchase them in store.
Dining at Melba's is always a pleasant experience.
Her chicken and waffles is my go to dish regardless of the time of day!
This restaurant was by far the most amazing comfort food I
This restaurant was by far the most amazing comfort food I have ever had! The service was exceptional and the ambiance was dazzling. I thought I was going to need a to go box for my left overs but there was nothing left on my plate to take home. Now as I fly back to California I will recall the delicious food that topped my experience in Harlem. The waffle with strawberry butter along with the chicken wings etc. are stuff dreams are made of. Melba's delivered! Between Sylvia's and Melba's if you only have time for one, I'd choose Melba's!
My four friends and I have been wanting to dine at Melba's
My four friends and I have been wanting to dine at Melba's Harlem Restaurant after hearing positive reviews. The place was quite attractive with beautiful African art work and spacious seating arrangements, although one of our tables was unstable. The staff was hospitable and service was good. We were looking forward to trying Melba's signature chicken and waffles and other soul food. We ordered two entrees of chicken and waffles, a side order of waffles, smothered chicken, short ribs, collard greens and Mac and cheese. The food presentation was good. However, those famous waffles had no taste of eggnog and was not tasty. The serving of syrup was small and we asked for additional syrup. The portion of dark chicken was tiny and my wings were a generous portion, but the chicken did not taste good. The greens were too spicy but the Mac and cheese were good. The order of sweet potato pie was cold. Needless to say, the food was a big disappointment. It's hard for me to believe that Melba beat Bobby Flay with her signature waffles, unless we weren't served the signature waffles. We just should have gone to our local diners where the food far surpassed Melba's. In all, we feel Melba's is far too overrated and we will not be returning.
We came in on a Friday afternoon after not being able to
We came in on a Friday afternoon after not being able to get in another restaurant. They seated us promptly, and they also were courteous. We ordered fried chicken and oxtails. My sides were yams and greens. The food came out in literally 2mins. I can appreciate that! It was fresh and hot. I didn't try the chicken, but my guy said it was just ok, and he's a chicken head! Eats chicken 10xs a week! Seriously. I had the oxtail meal, which wasn't good. It was little oxtails with tough meat. Drowned in gravy/sauce that wasn't good. I didn't like the hot sauce it was like a spicy thick tarter ketchup type of sauce. I didn't eat it. Wrapped it to go. The greens and yams weren't all that. I wouldn't go back. And I'd say try them for yourself.
First time dining here and it didn't disappoint! I went
First time dining here and it didn't disappoint! I went here on a Saturday during lunch time and it was a full house. They were bumping the jams which flowed through every corner of the restaurant. The menu had a lot that I wanted to indulge, but I was disciplined enough to stick to two dishes: Spring Rolls and the Chicken & Eggnog Waffle. The Spring Rolls were vegetarian and had a fried outer layer. More like an egg roll shell than spring roll. The sauce enriches roll! The Chicken & Eggnog Waffle was the main event and I just loved everything about the dish. I opted for white meat and the chicken was satisfyingly crispy. I'm not sure if my palette could differentiate the eggnog, but nonetheless it was a hearty waffle that blended well with the syrup and butter. Service was friendly and welcoming. I'll come back again next time I find myself in Harlem!
I need an option for Half Stars! Lol Melba's was
I need an option for Half Stars! Lol Melba's was recommended over Sylvia's when asking for suggestions. I was looking for more of a brunch spot that offered breakfast items as well; but it does not. We almost passed up the entry, due the outdoor area. The inside is really cool w/pics/portraits of black folks like Marvin Gaye. The music is great and the full bar is in eye shot! We arrived when they first opened a little after 11 and there were only few parties in there at the time; but if was getting full by the time we left, so I know it gets a lot of traffic. We ordered the eggnog waffle w/Catfish, and one with Chic, fried chicken meal w/garlic mash & greens (made with Turkey), and a side of ASAP YAMS. The fried chicken was really good! I honestly was a bit disappointed w/the waffle and catfish. It don't typically like thick waffles b/c they sometimes tend to be doughy; but this was the "signature" dish. They were a bit bland, unfortunately. The fried catfish was not what I am used to. Not sure the batter that was used but, I could've passed and got the chicken instead. The most disappointing dish was the Yams...as my colleague said..."the yams were not yammin!" They were thick and lacked sweetness. Our consensus was that this soul food is not targeted at the demographic that actually eats soul food! Servers were really nice. Parking on street; but not sure how easy it is b/c we took a Lyft.

Melba's exudes an incredible vibe, blending the essence of Harlem with soulful food delights. Our dining experience included the sumptuous Salmon paired with ASAP yams and Mac and cheese, which my 2-year-old niece devoured with gusto. The chicken was undoubtedly a hit, and the collard greens were fresh and expertly seasoned. For appetizers, the crab cakes and eggrolls were standout "comforts" that truly elevated the experience. The egg roll alone was enough to make me feel like Harlem owed me nothing.
Harlem classic
Made the trip uptown while my nephew was visiting from Pittsburgh. Melba's is an unassuming neighborhood joint where you are made to feel at home from the moment you enter the door. We enjoyed the famous chicken and waffles, Jamaican oxtails and perfectly cooked fish. Highly recommend!!
Disappointed
It seems that Melbas had a off night mac and cheese was dry, the potato salad was old from being left out and the fish was under cooked. Lets leave it at that.
Never Again!!!
Never again!!! I took my daughters yo NY for their 1st time to the Macy's parade and to spend a few days in the big apple. I wanted this Thanksgiving to be special and something different. We choose Melba's for our Thanksgiving meal. There was a special menu that day that came with a choice of an appetizer, a main entree, 2 sides and dessert. There was no price listed on the menu. Our total came to $308.00!!! What?? It certainly wasn't worth that much. My daughter told the waitress no cranberry sauce and it was visible that they forgot and just scraped it off of the turkey on her plate because it was residue still there. It took nearly 35 minutes for us to even get the appetizers, the food was delicious but the dessert didn't taste homemade at all. We tossed them in the trash. The waitress added a $47.50 gratuity to the bill for a party of 3!!! We left feeling taken advantage of. The next day we visited Amy Ruth's and the soul food was delicious and served hot and quickly. The total was less than $100. We left feeling great! My recommendation is if you visit Melba's and there are no prices listed find out how much it's going to cost first. NEVER AGAIN!!! Shameful!
We Were Very Disappointed
We expected good results based on the review from "The View". The atmosphere is nothing to write home about but the staff was welcoming. The food came out so fast we thought it was a fast-food restaurant. We had fried chicken, fish, greens, mac n cheese, potato salad and coleslaw. No cornbread. EVERYTHING was mediocre.
Good food and good vibes!
Me and a friend decided to try Melba’s last minute on a Saturday evening. We made a reservation and got in right away. Our server Kenny was very cordial and helpful. The food and atmosphere were both great. I’d definitely recommend.
Liz trip
We visited after this place was highly recommended by some friends. Being a soul food restaurant owner and great cook I extend grace and acknowledge everyone has different expectations and taste buds. I was very pleased on a previous visit with the short beef ribs yams and greens so I did a repeat. This time was underwhelming to say the least. Hubby had the fried chicken potato salad and greens He enjoyed it. Everybody has an off day so I’ll leave it there. Was kinda expensive but I understand it’s a tourist city and I was on vacation. I’ll probably give it another try. The staff we encountered were very nice and professional but never checked on us or offered refills. Go by and try for yourself if no than to support a legend in Harlem. You might just like it.
Disappointing
Over priced, over salted and over rated! We were excited to go and. Expected an amazing meal. What we got was over salted food. Some of the food was good but the whole experience was marred by an unfriendly hostess and a lack of cleanliness. There is better soul food we will try next time.
At least the food was good!
The food was good the service sucked! the waiter with red glasses had an attitude, never told us his name and was rude. The people taking reservations were terrible also.
Family trip to NYC. Must eat here.
As you walk in they are so hospitable & willing to serve you. Brought our family there and everything was amazing. Will definitely be back.
Food and song for the soul
On holiday from the UK. We were on a walking tour and our guide took us to this restaurant after many hours of walking, we were not disappointed. We had to wait a few minutes for a table meanwhile a large party were celebrating 2 birthdays, the staff sang them Happy Birthday, their voices sounded like a gospel choir, we will never forget it. Staff were very friendly, our food was amazing, my husband had ribs and me fried chicken and mac and cheese, I had food to take home as well.

Good question. Currently the bidder will have to include the prepaid dinner price plus bid to secure the reservation. AT is currently working on an upcoming release where the prepaid amount and the bid amount are two separate transactions. Happy Bidding!
