Syrup-Glazed Chicken and Waffles for an Uptown Harlem Morning
Fried chicken, fish and grits, and stacked waffles arrive all morning at a small Central Harlem kitchen.
🧇 Waffles, Wings, and Grits
Harlem Breakfast Club keeps things small and morning focused, a few tables off Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard where the plates land fast and heavy. The signature order pairs syrup-glazed fried chicken with thick, crisp-edged waffles, the syrup pooling into every square. The same kitchen turns out fish and grits, fried fillets over a creamy buttery pile, and breakfast sandwiches stacked on soft rolls with avocado. The real draw is range, and one kitchen runs both the sweet chicken and waffle plates and the savory grits, rare for a room this size. Ratings sit at 4.3 across 248 reviews, steady and well earned. The address drops you in Central Harlem, on the brownstone blocks just north of 125th Street. Plan for a wait on weekend mornings, and come hungry.
