About this restaurants :
This place is so iconic and famous that I was expecting it to be all hype and not that great.
I walked in expecting an average experience but what awaited me was lip smacking fare and great service.
Don’t forget I was excited though as I’d never eaten soul food before.
My waiter Sean helped fix my wobbly table with wads of napkin. I WAS LIKE AH, WOBBLY TABLES HUH….will the food be good….?
I ordered mac and cheese, collard greens and smothered chicken. Sean told me ‘nah, what you should try is the BBQ short rib’. I said yes you’re the expert here.
Best food ever or was I just hungry? Dunno, was an excellent meal !!
Seeing how much I was enjoying myself. Sean then shouted me an Arnold Palmer, which I did not know off, to round out an excellent first soul food experience.
Thank you Sean and thank you Sylvia’s.
Excellent food all round. Solid menu choices, good prices and good service.
– 9/10 Fried chicken, the crisp and seasoning is on point.
– 9.5/10 MacNcheese, the two cheese combo is close to perfect
– 8.5/10 Smothered Chicken, slightly too thin
– 9/10 Collard Greens, the strips of salted meat in there were a real treat
– 8/10 Candied Yams, sweet, soft and syrupy!
– 7.5/10 Ribs, probably the most disappointing thing on the menu. Not big in size, the sauce was odd.

We had fried chicken & waffles and a sweet potato pie here. Everything we had was delicious. Simple and yet good flavours. It is however a bit pricey compared to other places cooking similar dishes. The ambience could have been better. Still, I recommend it if you want to have the nostalgic experience. After all, many famous people like Beyonce visited this place as far as I’ve seen from the pics hanging on the wall.
Sylvia’s was AWESOME!!!! The food was just as I expected, delicious 😋. You can not visit New York and miss this iconic restaurant. The atmosphere, great, the wait time was not long, we went early, and the diners were from so many ethnic backgrounds. Just a short train ride from the Port Authority bur a nit of a distance once you get off the subway, so if you’re not a walker, catch a cab or Uber.
Delicious southern lunch at Sylvia’s today. The pork ribs and shrimp/cod dishes were delicious. Our server was fun and friendly. Great experience. Also there were no lines or wait for lunch at 130 pm.
