The Edge Harlem

The Edge is one of my favorite restaurants in Harlem. The restaurant feels like home and the food is always delicious.

Visited The Edge Harlem for lunch and really enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere was stylish, welcoming, and perfect for a Harlem brunch/lunch vibe. The food was flavorful, the service was attentive, and the overall energy felt warm and inviting. A great spot for good food, good conversation, and a relaxed uptown experience. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in Harlem

Great service and a very welcoming team. Even without a reservation on a busy brunch, sitting at the bar felt perfectly cozy. My friend and I were craving the grits and they definitely hit the spot. Looking forward to coming back and checking out more of the menu.

I’ve eaten here multiple times and have literally never been disappointed! Everything is delicious, the vibes are perfect, the staff is friendly, prices are fair. Will be back many, many times!!

An absolutely fantastic experience! My pancakes were delicious, and my sister declared her shrimp and parmesan grits the “best meal I've had all weekend.” The service was equally impressive—prompt and accurate. Highly recommend this spot!

Decided to try The Edge Harlem because the menu seemed interesting. My husband had the pancakes which he enjoyed amd i had the salad which was ,ok. I also ordered the codfish fritters which were ok as well. I was expecting to taste more of the fish chunks- but there was more flour added. The atmosphere is comfy and cool. I wasnt impressed but I would give it another try.

OMG the food was amazing & to have been here for 11 years & I've never been is crazy. We have definitely found us a new breakfast/brunch spot. The staff was also friendly which is very important to me . Come try this place, you won't be disappointed. SB: I'm very hard to impress when it comes to food because I'm an amazing cook. 😂

I wanted to love this place so badly!! The ambiance and service were wonderful!!! This was my first time in Harlem and I was excited to try this Caribbean spot. I ordered the Jerk Chicken and waffles, and was surprisingly underwhelmed. The jerk chicken was dry and got cold quickly. It also could have used a bit more spices to bring out the flavor. The waffles were soft, which I liked, but everything got cold really quickly. My friend also didn’t finish her burger (and she’s Caribbean 🥴)<br><br>The codfish fritters were the best thing I had and would order them again. The atmosphere was great, music was a vibe, the service was wonderful! Just wish the food hit like everything else did as well.

Walked in to make a lunch reservation for a big party for the same day. For this very professional staff it was not a problem. We were seated on time and served a great meal that we all enjoyed at a leisurely pace. Among the range of choices- tuna melt, chicken and waffles, coconut fishburger, and others everyone loved their dishes. An impressive crowd for a Thursday afternoon but the staff handled everything with ease. Will return with great pleasure anytime.

This place is IT! We decided to try this place for brunch and we were completely blown away— the initial impression was something to write about. The place was clean the decor was lovely, albeit small, the service was impeccable and the food, sublime, even the playlist was relative and played a role in our food experience. The carafe of ginger mimosa was refreshing and I felt my palate tickled with every sweet sip. The soup was a first, and a beautiful one. It was smooth creamy and delicious ! All the appetizers were spot-on in flavor presentation and taste. The entrees were delightful, I loved the festivals, they tasted just the way I expected them to. Yum! The grits were filling and velvety and the flavor was mild, the tacos are worth the try, the kale was not soft at all, it had a nice crunch in every bite and you could just taste the health in every bite. The bread pudding was out of this world! You have to try it! This place is the perfect place for nostalgic Jamaican food, or some authentic NYC eats. Check out the pics. Go to Edge, don’t walk, run!

This place is a vibe. Great brunch spot, I went on a Tuesday. They had fresh flowers on the table . I got the<br>curry chicken sandwich. I enjoyed the option of salad on the plate. My girl got the jerk chicken ... I would say they aren't as spicy as jerk chicken that I know, but the flavors are rich and decadent. Will check out the dinner or drink next time.

Not the best experience. We read the good reviews and we were really looking forward to eating here for Sunday brunch. I now question those reviews. The place is very small and they did not have some food items. The people who were seated near us and left before us, left a lot of food barely touched. That should have been a sign. The codfish fritters were undercooked, we sent them back to be cooked and they still were not edible. The crab cakes were not worth the price. They were more bread than anything else. My husband thought the jerk chicken and waffles was “okay” I ordered the ackee and salt fish with kale, it was okay. My friend did not like the jerk chicken quesadilla or kale salad. She couldn’t even finish it. I don’t know who wrote the five star reviews. There was nothing there 5 star worthy. We will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone we know.

So freaking good! Came across this place for Sunday brunch and everything was so freaking good. Pretty big space inside. The food was so delicious and big portions too. The menu has Jamaican, English and American fare. The food came out lightning fast. Every bite of my BLT with Jamaican Jerk chicken was to die for. The shrimp and grits was also perfect in every way. And plenty left over to take home. This a great place and very popular too.

Coffee was cold and food wasn't very fresh. The young lady with the braids who was the hostess was very nice though . The festival tastes like it was cooked the day before and reheated the fritters were not cooked all the way through the Grits were old they weren't creamy they were stiff and the pancakes were just really not good at all

We visited on a Wednesday afternoon and it was bustling. I imagine weekend brunch is a whole vibe. The ambiance inside is inviting, warm and cozy (see photos). I appreciate the artwork, photographs and decor. It speaks to the rich heritage of Harlem and specifically to the area where the restaurant is located. There’s a decent amount of seating, some tables are closer to others than I prefer. However our table was perfect for me. You can make reservations which might be a good idea. There is also a good amount of outdoor seating. Visit their website for the policy regarding time allowed at table (to be able to accommodate more customers)… seems reasonable to me.<br>Maia took good care of us. She was friendly, attentive without being intrusive and on point. She came back and checked on us although the restaurant was bustling as mentioned previously.<br>There is a list of specials beautifully written on their board. With so many dishes I wanted to try… I must return (maybe for one of the live music events). I was intrigued by the fusion of food from different cuisines. I ended up ordering curry chicken sandwich with salad and plantain on the side. It was a good portion. I was full without feeling overstuffed. Definitely worth a trip to Harlem to check them out.
