I booked a flight based on the recommendation of Al Roker from the Today Show. One morning during the show he recommended Amy Ruth's I decided to try the restaurant. Myself and a party of 5 flew to New York on yesterday to dine. The food was GREAT!!!! I ordered the Al Sharpton and ice tea. I enjoyed the atomosphere. It was well worth the trip!!!! Thanks Mohamed for the excellence in service. We WILL return!!!!

Absolutely THE BEST soul food anywhere i've eaten! I've eaten at the origional Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles in LA, and they are good, but they can't touch Amy Ruth's! The "Rev. Sharpton" (Chicken and Waffle) is what I usually get, but you should also consider the candied yams and mac & cheese. It's a lot of food, ...

MOUTHGASM! The food was so good, I begin to yell after each bit upon intiating the first chew! I ordered, smothered chicken, mac and cheese, wafflies. The waffle is thick, make sure you order enough syrup. Depending on your luck, be prepared to wait at least an hour for your food. (especially if theyr'e busy) Mind you, I ordered at 1 AM ...

Love it, love it, LOVE IT!

I have been to Amy Ruth's 3 times this month, and am not over it yet! It is the best soul food I've had in NYC, period. Sunday is their busiest day (went last week and waited outside for 45 minutes in the pouring rain) but it's worth it for the smothered chicken!

Best Mac and Cheese
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/03/07
This is my favorite soul food restaurant at the moment. The mac and cheese is amazing. Love the waffles with fried shrimp too.

A harlem Must
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/06/07
I thought the food was very good. I had waffles my bud had fried chicken. A bit greasy but what did you expect? Lots of celebs have eatn here. And don't be afraid of the neighborhood, it was very mellow and just a block away from the 116th st red line subway station. Go to the outdoor african market while UR there.
EVERY DISH I HAVE HAD HAS BEEN WAS VERY DELICIOUS. FROM THE ROOTY TO TOOTY ( CHICKEN, FISH, ETC.) WHENVEVER I VISIT HARLEM IT IS A MUST I STOP THERE AND TAKE ME A DISH TO GO TO DC.

Real Comfort Food

I went there with a few of my friends and all that i have to say that the food is excellent especially the cat fish dinner. The place is kinda small but the people are very friendly . I go there about 1 a month.
