“From the moment I walked to the moment I walked out, I was treated as family. Everyone was welcoming, helpful and so friendly. I had oxtails, rice and peas and homemade potato salad. It was delicious, the best meal I had on my trip to New York for the UK. See you guys again next year xx“
“The food was amazing! It was seasoned very well. The staff was friendly. We enjoyed ourselves. We had a party of 15 and they didn't miss a beat. It was a bit pricy for some items but worth it. Very large portion sizes. I will definitely be eating here again!“
“When I see places like this I never expect them to perform the way they do on social media. Well BLVD bistro definitely lived up to the expectations. The vibe in here was incredible no matter what your age is from 21-61 everyone who goes here seems to have a great time. I don’t eat grits but the grits at BLVD bistro are grade A. The music and atmosphere in here is A1 and I’m planning my next trip to Harlem to visit this restaurant.Parking: Take public transportation this is Manhattan people.“

“This is some good ole southern food?! Fried chicken 20 stars!!! I’ve been to this place 3 times already, I always get the veggie plate, which is 4 sides. I get greens, cabbage, black eye peas, & pot salad or string beans. Now normally I don’t get nobody’s pot salad because since our generational grandmothers have all passed away , no one can do it right ?…. But baby pan fried did ?.. I was impressed?. Somebody over 40 made that pot salad ?. The only thing I haven’t taste , was the Mac n cheese ( my heartburn be killing me ) I can’t do all those cheese at this age & the yams. The honey they use to put on the chicken is good ( I had mines on the side ) & the cheesecake is good good good !!!?. The staff is really friendly, from the front to the back. Very nice black owned business ❣️“

“When I tell you, me, and my party of 15, had a wonderful time, the music was good the food was out of this world. All of my party guesses had no complaints that was the best food I had in my life better than my mother food. Me and my friends are planning our next meet up at Shawnee’s lol. She was a wonderful host, her and her staff they accommodated my party to the maximum.“
“Been to this place twice! Soon as we got off the bus, we headed here. Oxtail is so good! I'm not usually a persons who likes fat on their meat, but they cook and season it so well that u can't help to clean the bone. Mac & cheese is so good and the yams are so sweet! Love a sweet & savory combo. That tea was sweet & refreshing. They were out of the potatoes and chickpeas which was great last time so next time! Such a staple when touchdown.“
“I love this place.Went once in 2016 and recently in 2024. To this day it's the only place I've had fried chicken. Everything is done by weight so you'll pay less of you eat less. We got two really decent size meal and two soft drinks for 32 dollars. Good options for vegetables as well, which is not a given when traveling the US, I found.Vegetarian options: Brunch of salads and meatless sides.“
“I had Kadyah's Soul food for the first time a week ago and I have to say that the flavor of everything was well balanced and pronounced. You never questioned if there needed to be more seasoning. For me personally, I love to simply eat meat, and all the meat that I have tried tasted amazing. Also, despite my meat comment, I loved the yams. Definitely recommend.“
“Went 3/16/2024 for my bday enjoyed myself DJ Hollywood was on the 1s n 2s music was freaking awesome wasn't able to get hookah or food servicer was busy all good next time gonna make it my business to get a hold of a servicer lol drinks were righteous I was feeling “
“Soul Food how it should taste in an old school Harlem restaurant. Very friendly staff that makes you feel home away from home. Excellent variety of southern food, salads and drinks. That is like 20 yrs back in time and light years from corporate America taking over 125th street.“
“I’m from the Bronx and I ordered from here on Uber. Happy to say that the food came to me still hot :). The Mac and cheese was good I loved the yams and the shrimps was good as well. I know if I would’ve had this straight out the kitchen It would have been way better! Loved my food thank “
“A new restaurant and bakery to the neighborhood that services Soul and Creole food. Finally had the opportunity to try it out, i ordered the Jerk Chicken lunch and Oxtail lunch with seasoned rice, candied yams and mac & cheese. Everything was delicious - i love that the meat falls off the bone of the chicken and oxtail... also the candied yams were cooked just right (not overly soggy)i was expecting bigger portions but im ok to sacrifice quantity for quality... They have a bunch of baked goods and pies that i havent tried yet. Also, they may not have everything on the menu as they are still getting going - so worth calling to see whats available that day. Im looking forward to going back and trying other plates“
“This been my caribe go-to spot for few years now. Try the smoothies I promise you wont want other smoothies after trying. The food is off da hook! I love they vegan cake, stress juice, cassava pone pudding omg!curry chick peas the kale patties trust me you wont go nowhere else!“
“Some of the best fried food I’ve had without it being too greasy or salty! Freshly battered and fried - true comfort food. The candied yams were particularly fragrant and well spiced. Highly recommended!Vegetarian options: Fried okra and candied yams“
“The best restaurant of the entire trip to New York. We felt like we were at home eating dinner with our mothers. It filled the stomach and the soul. This is an obligatory stop to discover how well people eat in the United States. Great southern food.“
“Space is small, so a reservation is definitely needed. All run by chef and owner, Artist. That day we had the place almost all to ourselves and he made our experience one of a kind with his hospitality and attention. Eating delicious food while the guest musician played made for good vibes. We made quick friends with our dining neighbor and the whole restaurant just talked about life. Would definitely return again!“
“For a first time I will say this ?DELICIOUS I mean I had to go to work and the food was still hot when I got to work the seafood bag which I was allowed to create was amazing as well as my other 4 sides (Mac n cheese collard greens yams and crab salad which was amazing) you have gained a new customer see u“

“Roberta’s featured nice indoor/ outdoor décor, good food, a stacked bar and a live DJ doing a livestream keeping the place lively when I was there on a Friday night. It’s a place to go with or without friends, to meet people or on a lil dinner date. The service was excellent, and I love that it’s a Black-owned, family run business. I highly recommend it!“
“Hands ✋? ?? DOWN the BEST Jamaican food in the Bronx! Small in size, colossal flavors though, great selections, excellent customer service, and incredibly tasty food. The portions are insane in comparison to quantity, well beyond worth the money. Small plates to catered trays, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They're cooking on the premises, and it's magic ✨️ ?? Gotta be.. Pictured is a medium Whiting meal ??$14 ... a medium!“
“Devin braved the cold and wind with a smile on his face and cooked up crispy henny bbq wings(his mom’s recipe). The sauce on the wings were spectacular. The Mac and cheese with truffle oil( i think he said) hit the spot. I also had the skillet cabbage ?? my pallets was doing the happy dance. Please do your self a favor and go support him, you wont regret it.?????“
“This restaurant has replaced my kitchen! It is at the end of my street and I have gotten take out from there several days a week. The food is fresh, well prepared, the prices are more than reasonable and the portions are huge!. I have tried mainly all of the chicken dishes and most of the sides; either by myself or with friends. The macaroni pie is amazing.! he food is also set out several times a day so it always is fresh .The owner/chef is a friendly outgoing man and his staff are also very friendly.It has counter seating and a buffet presentation. It is well worth a visit.“
“we ordered 2 orders of fried catfish, 1 with sweet potatoe fries and 1 with Mac&cheese, and also a side of collards. everything was made FRESH. crispy and delicious fish & fries, super cheesey Mac and the collards we're great! not the first or the last time I will order from here. reasonably priced for fish around here.“
“I walked in there the other day and picked up my own GrubHub order from the outside of this place I had a good feeling because it looked very homey style and then when I had the smothered pork chops I thought I died and went to heaven they were so tender they fell apart in my mouth!! I’ve never had my pork chops so amazingly tender and decadent in flavor I see why this is an absolute favorite!! macaroni and cheese bangin’, Rice and peas delicious cabbage and carrot style vegetable delicious,. Collard greens yum yum“
“YOU NEED TO ORDER FROM MISS LORETTA ASAP!! I called at 5pm on a Thursday, this is a family owned business and is not a fast food spot. You WILL get a home cooked meal here.I was looking for a TRUE southern Mac and Cheese and that's exactly what I got. Miss Loretta informed me that a big pan had to be ordered at least a day before, and I didn't mind. But she did call me back to say she could accommodate me and it would be ready by 8 pm! Upon pickup it was super fast and efficient. The gentleman who delivered it to me was so sweet the whole experience was just wonderful. From the call to the last bite of the Mac and cheese.HONEST REVIEW: Mac and Cheese 10/10, every noodle was seasoned to perfection, and you can see the black pepper. The ingredients were balanced so well with SO MUCH CHEESE.What I loved it that you didn't get tired of eating it which tends to happen with some Mac and cheeses. Sometimes it all starts to lose its taste and honestly with every bite I was transported to flavor town.Pros:Family ownedBlack ownedSupport the community Cons: Might be hard looking for the building number but if you are parked right in front of the key food, just move up a little past keyfood and it's that first apartment building on the right“
“THE FISH IS TASTY. IT'S NOT OVERDONE WITH SEASONING SO BE PREPARED TO SPICE IT UP TO YOUR LIKING. THE SIDES ARE APPROPRIATE. AGAIN, BE PREPARED TO SPICE IT UP TO YOUR LIKING.THE AVERAGE MEAL WILL COST YOU $15 AND UP. NO SEATING, TAKE OUT ONLY.Parking: 9.5/10 YOU WILL NEED TO DOUBLE PARK TO RUN IN TO GET YOUR FOOD. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN, BUT I HAVE SEEN A TICKET AGENT OR TWO WALK THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.Wheelchair accessibility: THIS PLACE IS WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE BUT IT WILL BE DIFFICULT. THE DOOR IS NARROW. THERE IS A SMALL RAMP AT THE DOOR.“
