    I booked a flight based on the recommendation of Al Roker from the Today Show. One morning during the show he recommended Amy Ruth's I decided to try the restaurant. Myself and a party of 5 flew to New York on yesterday to dine. The food was GREAT!!!! I ordered the Al Sharpton and ice tea. I enjoyed the atomosphere. It was well worth the trip!!!! Thanks Mohamed for the excellence in service. We WILL return!!!!

    Absolutely THE BEST soul food anywhere i've eaten! I've eaten at the origional Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles in LA, and they are good, but they can't touch Amy Ruth's!
    The "Rev. Sharpton" (Chicken and Waffle) is what I usually get, but you should also consider the candied yams and mac & cheese. It's a lot of food, but you will not regret it.
    People always rave about the Red Velvet cake, but i've had the Banana Pudding, and it was absolutely wonderderful!
    I recommend this place to EVERYONE!

    MOUTHGASM! The food was so good, I begin to yell after each bit upon intiating the first chew! I ordered, smothered chicken, mac and cheese, wafflies. The waffle is thick, make sure you order enough syrup. Depending on your luck, be prepared to wait at least an hour for your food. (especially if theyr'e busy) Mind you, I ordered at 1 AM and waited an hour for the food. You can sit and enjoy a magazine and take int he Harlem folks. This wait was one of the most worthy in all my ordering food and that includes Atlanta's Busy Bee on MLK Dr. The hospitality is good too. Be sure that you check your food before you leave as the employees are really busy and can get sidetracked! The neigbhorhood was okay. I went at 1 AM and felt very safe. The cost for the food is actually pretty decent given the portion of food they're going to give you. Be prepared to spend at least $15 on one entree, excluding dessert, which you will want-Red Velvet Cake, might I suggest? If you travel to NYC, take the FDR and exit @ 125th st.. 116th street West will put you directly back on the Expwy when you're ready to leave. Very convienient by foot or car.
