Amy Ruth's,

113 W 116th St, New York, NY 10026, United States

"Only found out about Amy Ruth’s through a tv show before our trip (can’t remember which one) and wow, my wife and I are so glad we went. One of the best food experiences we had in NYC. The food, the atmosphere and the service was unforgettable. I’d never tried grits before so our waitress brought out a little sample for us without needing to buy a whole bowl. So much fun. Honey fried chicken and mashed potatoes are a must"

"Just really lovely home style cooked food. Corn bread at the start is so fluffy and delicious. Waffles and fried chicken hit the spot, as do the Mac n cheese and whipped potatoes. Service is very attentive as well"

"First time and the food was absolutely amazing. I’d also like to mention the wait staff and hospitality was impeccable. Tasha greeted us as we walked in and was very attentive through out our meal. I over heard her say she loves her job. Keep being the beautiful spirit you are inside and out. If I’m ever in Harlem again I’ll definitely comeback. Wish I could’ve visited one more time before heading back to Texas."

"I came here because of the recommendation from a YouTuber. The fried chicken is REALLY GOOD!!! The flavor is just right, not too salty at all compared to a lot of fried chicken places. At first I thought they baked or roasted the chicken before frying it because of the color and the texture inside, but they told me it’s just raw chicken fried. Very interesting! It’s not the juicy kind of fried chicken that I’m used to, but it’s not dry at all. And I really enjoyed it with maple syrup — this is the first time I eat fried chicken in this way! The collard greens really amazed me — I’ve never had this kind of flavor before! Now I understand why I never liked southern American food before I came to Amy Ruth’s… it’s only because I’ve never had such good southern American food before! Corn bread also tastes pretty interesting. I guess they put brown sugar in it? Next time I’m in NYC I really want to try the chicken and waffle and honey dipped chicken."

"After a day of exploring NYC (from Illinois) we found Amy Ruth’s after a quick google search of the best soul food near us. The description held incredibly true. The cornbread was warm and moist, the kind that melts in your mouth. We tried the fried chicken (thigh and leg) and my brother said it was the best fried chicken he has had in his life. The greens and Mac and cheese would be hard to rival, they were both packed full of flavor and perfectly cooked. I was highly impressed with each of our tables meal. We also had help from 2 incredible staff members with a totally unrelated situation, the only way I can describe them is angels! Thank you for your hospitality."
