  4. long live A$AP YAM$ 🙏🏽🪽

  5. Great review not biased ❤

  6. This is the same experience i have when i hit up Melbas… i try to show love but they have to step up for the culture, Harlem, and their business.

  7. It does look like old food. I'm not impressed.

  8. Soul food in New York oh hell no that don’t even sound right that fish was to light skin😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  11. Can you please check out “the SIMPSON’s” restaurant in Brooklyn… I’ve been there but I want to know your opinion 💁🏿‍♀️❤️

  12. Not for nothing back in the days soul food restaurants in Harlem was the shiznit you just barely got a few left that hitting Melba's on the grind Sylvia's as well but they fell off and real residents from Harlem will tell you especially if or from out of town they will let you know who's hitting and who's fell off big time

  16. That place is nasty I’ve bin there it’s not good it’s always old

  17. You would think that if they saw you come in they would have done better🤷🏽‍♀️

  18. You not the only one that found it mix. Some good some mid.

  19. Sadly, Melba's has always been mediocre. Sylvia's is worse. They cook for the tourist palette not for the home grown New Yorker foodies. Its taste like they remove seasoning for those on meds that cant have salt etc.

  20. The Mac n cheese looked reheated and I knew the catfish and yams wasn't gonna hit just by looking at it.

  21. The church leftover food…😂

  22. Melba’s use to be good but they fell off as they got popular

  23. Only poor people eat bottom feeders

  25. And they're using thousand island dressing for a dip 😮😂😂😂

  26. I could tell that the catfish was too lytskin

  27. Thats Harlem soulfood for you inconsistent some good some bad rarely ever all good hard to find thats why i love this channel you keep it real most these popular soulfood spots living off there name

  28. That mac n cheese definitely looks old😮

  29. The chicken and waffles are good 😋

  30. Thanks for being honest bec it does not look good and most influencer lie!
