Reviews: Harlem Wing & Waffle

Posted on June 7, 2006 by


hwwlogo.jpgThere’s no waffling about it, Harlem Wing & Waffle is quickly becoming a favorite neighborhood take out spot. Since April when we first spotted this independently owned restaurant, we have stopped in to taste their offerings twice. The first time I ordered the snack pack comprising 2 wings and 2 waffles for $2.99. The chicken was well seasoned and fried to perfection. The waffles were small and unimpressive but then again it was called the snack pack. The portions were just enough to curb my hunger without leaving me stuffed. They also offer a larger version called the “meal” for $5.99. The meal has 4 wings and waffles.

The second time I stopped into Harlem Wing & Waffle I wasn’t in the mood for waffles so I ordered thier 6 piece wingettes for $3.99. Although the plain wingettes were not as well seasoned as the wings that came with the wings and waffles, they were fried nice and crispy and tasted quite good. There were a few raw baby carrots and celery sticks to accompany the chicken. The wingettes come in 6, 12, 24 and 50 piece options and can be ordered with a choice of accompanying sauces.

Other menu items were chicken fingers in a large and small size and waffle fries. They also have their own brand of bottled sodas that come in cream, black cherry, root beer, and uptown orange. I happened to notice on my second visit that they mix their waffles fresh on the premises. In my opinion, this business is ripe for growth as a chain of franchises over time. They already have the branding and they offer products that are unique to their company.
