"A fried whiting sandwich, and not fried chicken, is the signature dish of Harlem. At this new seafood restaurant, which also serves pricier steamed crab and lobster, three giant filets are included in the $6 sandwich, and it’s up to you to slather the bread with quantities of tartar sauce, adding squirts of tabasco here and there." - Robert Sietsema

It's the Catfish for me! It's the Potato Salad for me! I recommend the Catfish dinner, it gave a buttery, crispy melt in you mouth affect! I genuinely don't like onions in my Potato Salad but the onions were barely there but there in just the right portion for taste! Ms.Dee is a Sweetheart!

Customer service is terrible! If you don't take orders over the phone, let your customers know. Don't make them order, show up, and then act like they never called. For example, the cook took my order over the phone, but when I arrived, he pretended not to remember. The owner just excused it, saying he's "just a cook." To improve customer experience: 1. **Clear Communication**: Make it clear on your website, social media, and phone system whether you take orders over the phone. 2. **Training**: Train all staff, including cooks, on customer service basics and the importance of consistency. 3. **Confirmation**: Implement a system to confirm phone orders and inform customers of the expected process when they arrive. 4. **Accountability**: Ensure staff are accountable and aware of their role in the customer service chain. 5. **Feedback**: Regularly seek customer feedback to identify and address issues promptly.

I ordered takeout from here on Seamless and got the whiting and catfish with collard greens and Mac and cheese. The food was fire. The fish is super well cooked and seasoned and you get big meaty chunks of fish. All of that cost 28$ which I think is a good deal for what you’re getting. The people inside were sweet. Will def order again.

Okay so I am a regular customer, and I just don't like that whenever they are open she will have a 2 hour wait for food that's not done had me come back, and food still wasn't done within that two hours. Then I kept going when I shouldnt have she shorts the food for the price she gives small portions as if she is running out of food. Half a scoop of side I will be interesting a picture later. If I ever go back(probably won't)she treated my friend horrible took the last of the food for herself instead of selling it .

Passed by one day and stopped in because they had a special on smothered chicken. One of my favorites. It was delicious .I’ve been back several times since then and it’s always good. The ladies who run the place are very nice to do business. I wish them the best.

I was in Harlem to visit my aunt. Stopped by Legends to grab some food. Mom had the whitening w/fries and I had the catfish w/fries!! The Food was sooo good, not greasy and had flavor. The owner (i did not get names) were so sweet. They treated my mom like ahe was family. Even walked us out after they allowed us to sit in the establishment to eat. My sister wasn't hungry and she missed out on an awesome meal. I will be back!!! Thank you ladies for sharing Thee Harlem experience!! ❤️ sorry no pics bc we just dug in!!
