Best WLM Reviews
Excellent service, awesome staff! Great vibes in here, beautiful decor, felt so at home. Their house made sweet tea was out of this world! Had the Reggie bush, fried chicken dunked in honey, choice of white or dark meat, I went white. Very juice, very crispy, seasoning was so damn good, and the honey made it perfect! Comes with 2 sides. I had collared greens, first I've ever had and they were out of this world , and the candied yams were delicious! Can't wait to go back. Complimentary corn bread was delicious!
It was vibe was there in 25th august on holiday for my nieces 10th birthday to NYC from London so thought it be good chance to try soul food.
The waitress was so lovely very patient with us given that we hadn’t tried it before well authentic american soul food that is. Forgot her name but she’s a star
Enjoyed candied yams (uk orange sweet potato basically) very tasty it was a little bit too sweet for me but that’s the points i guess either way it complemented my smothered turkey wings which was full flavour very savoury . I find turkey to be a bit drier than chicken but for me i was able to enjoy so thats a plus.
Sister loves vegetables so enjoyed the Okra
They are not stingy the chef wants to feed you because our plates were full , you might feel overwhelmed but you won’t complain about the portion sizes.
My niece couldn’t finish her plate , it’s funny coz it looked like she didn’t eat it and unfortunately we couldn’t take it back because we had no microwave at the hotel otherwise that would have got waxed down for breakfast. It’s a shame there was no kids menu coz that was a waste of food but thats fine because it seems like a more mature / adult setting .
I did like there interior of seeing influential black people on the walls. Overall great experience , great food. I would come back
Lol love corn bread carried that back to the london????
PROS: Its my first time here at amy ruth, snd the food was AMAZING!!!! From the chicken to the sides.
My husband had the beef ribs bbq and it was perfect!! Not too sweet and the potato
Salad was chunky just like how i want it, the coleslaw was also fresh, cabbage were crunchy and not too sweet ad well, they were all just perfectly seasoned. The chicken wings were also great! And the mac and cheese and thr fried shrimp, the cornbread were so yummy, warm and soft, we also had the banana pudding just a little too sweet to my liking , but basically they were all perfect!!!
(We didnt get the chance to take a photo of the wings and fried shrimp- i think it was just 6-8pcs)
CONS: the service was slow, its pricey for the portion size, yes its delicious but definitely
Pricey. I was disappointed with the leg quarter size, it was definitely too small.
I’ve been coming here over 10 years and it’s been a minute with all my travels. As usual they are very consistent and since I’ve been there last remodeled! Everything comes out super hot, just like it was ordered! The renovations are wonderful and spacious! The service has always been on point. Charmaine served us with a smile and payed attention to detail! Like I said a staple in the community and the best soul food around!
The food is ok if your hungry. I ordered the turkey wings with cabbage and macaroni and cheese with a side of potato salad. The turkey was under seasoned for me, the cabbage was undercooked, the macaroni has no flavor, and the potato salad has carrots and HUGE onion pieces. Or maybe it was lettuce, either way it didn't belong there. I finished most of it cause I was hungry, but I'd cook before I came back here. Prices are too high for the food to be so Mid.
Amy Ruth’s is the epitome of authentic southern cuisine. The flavors of my meal constantly replay in my head and my mouth begins to water in response. If you are ever in the area… run… don’t walk! I promise you won’t regret it!
Stopped by here during my second time visiting from Texas.
Overall, the meal was rather disappointing. We ordered The Ludacris. Chicken was fantastic, but the Mac and cheese was overly salted and dry. The potato salad was sweet. The cornbread had decent flavor but was dry.
Very big serving sizes. I split this with my mom; couldn’t imagine eating this all myself! The hand squeezed lemonade was wonderful. Our service was exceptional. Food came out fast.
Loved the various hand painted murals of famous black figures in history. Lots of seating. Also enjoyed the different names of all the food items. Great selection of food to choose from.
I likely wouldn’t return with how disappointing the sides were, would rather try another soul food restaurant honestly.
It's Harlem guys! I went on Sunday and the thing I loved the most, besides the food of course, was the authenticity of this place, the only tourist was me, and it was amazing. The fried chicken... from another planet.
