What people say

"Dubbed “the queen of soul food,” Sylvia Woods opened her namesake restaurant in 1962, bringing generous servings of Southern comfort food to Harlem. The neighborhood restaurant is famous for its timeless cooking and Southern charm, which still endures decades after opening. While Woods died in 2012, her family continues to run the restaurant. Order the daily special such as meatloaf, the chicken and waffles, or the cornmeal-fried whiting. The restaurant earned the America’s Classics Award from the James Beard Foundation this year."
"Eat authentic soul food at Harlem's most famous restaurant, Sylvia's! Many celebrities have enjoyed eating here, so come experience the history!"
Meko Rooks

Mentioned in these guides

‌Soul food & jazz ❤️ I don't really recommend Harlem as a neighborhood to stay in during your visit. It's super local & it's a little rough around the edges, but it's safe to visit and amazing to eat at. It's really famous for jazz music, live music, and soul food. It's full of history and it's one of my favorite neighborhoods to grab a drink & a bite at. This map contains my favorite soul food restaurants, a steakhouse, and a couple of great spots to watch live jazz. This is a living map, meaning, when I discover any new spots that I love, I'll add them in & you'll automatically get the updates! Use the map function at the top right of this guide to see what's closest to you when you visit!
