Harriet’s Kitchen

I have loved this place since I was a kid and still go back whenever I can. I am so glad Hk is still around when so much else in the neighborhood has changed. Try the lemon chicken :)

Worst sky club I’ve ever been to! Few choices of food that is cold. Firstly tables everywhere. Worst Bloody Mary around. Should’ve looked for the AMEX priority lounge!

Ordered online the Kale Caesar and wings. Food came in estimated delivery window. The Kale Caesar was $ 8 and was a few large torn up pieces of kale with two croutons in a small 4in. by 4in. container which looked like the saddest most overpriced salad I have ever seen, and once dressed it got even smaller. The wings were fried wings with some hot sauce on the side. They tasted good once i tossed them myself, but again not worth the price. Overall I was left hungry and making myself dinner.

Ordered the fried chicken meal, chicken was reheated old dry chicken. Mac n cheese had zero seasonings, cheese looked and tasted like boxed powder cheese.

Harriet’s Kitchen is a great place for take out or delivery. It is a bit too small to comfortably dine in there. The bacon cheeseburger with caramelized onions can go head to head with Shake Shack. Some of their bar food – like cheese sicks and fried zucchini are tasty, but non-​unique. However, when you are craving spicy buffalo chicken wings, this place really packs a delicious punch. Oh, and their summer gazpacho is fresh and tasty. Delivery is usually very quick and and the customer service people are kind and courteous.

Harriet’s has solid burgers and fries, which come with a delicious chipotle mayo. I live about 30 seconds away and end up ordering take out from them a lot (be advised, there is one tiny table for 2, and no other seating – this is definitely not a place for eating in), and the burger is dependably good. However, the fried chicken sandwich was really disappointing, and the chicken was incredibly over-​cooked and rubbery. I’ve only ordered it once, so it’s possible that this was an anomaly. Basically, stick to the burgers, and you’ll be happy.

Ordered from here many times and usually pretty good. Tonite got the grilled shrimp salad which was tasty. And the shrimp was done well. Though for $ 15 would expect the tails to be removed.

Caesar salad has an awful lemony off-​after taste. Tomato sauce on chicken parmesan and pasta is sickeningly sweet. This place has gone way down hill over the years. I won’t be ordering from here again, sadly.

I’d guess stopping in and eating is a better experience than delivery. Burger was cold and overcooked, fries were cold, no ketchup per my request. I won’t be re-​ordering from Harriet’s. Live and learn.

Underwhelming. The ultimate chicken sandwich was described as «lite» but was primarily only fried breading with very little meat. The chicken Caesar salad tasted good, but was described as «giant». Based on that we planned on sharing it between a few people, but what actually came was only really enough for one person at most. Definitely overpriced for how much you get.
High points: Cornbread and half chicken was good and delivery came earlier than stated.

Harriet’s is now my new go-​to burger joint in the 80’s UWS. The serving sizes are large, staff are friendly, it’s reasonably priced and the burgers are extremely tasty. Nothing fancy, just well executed burgers.

The food is usually great, when it arrives as you order it. That happens few and far between. Using Seamless I’ve ordered countless times and paid extra for things that I either never receive, complain about not receiving and get part of it 45 minutes after the food went cold, or complain about it and never get a damned thing.
If their employees read the orders and their person bagging the orders doubled checked them Harriet’s Kitchen might get four stars. They’re lucky they got two with as crappy as their service and customer service has been.

Harriet’s used to be so good. They did have the best hamburgers and still may. The other night We ordered from Harriets and I didn’t feel like having a hamburger so I ordered chicken tenders with sweet potato fries. The chicken was tough and crust was almost inedible. But the worst were the sweet potato fries. While they were tasty, they were cold and soggy. I will give Harriets another try in the hope that this was a one night problem. I will let you know
Please don’t review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you’re connected in any way to the owner or employees.

If you’re having a burger on the UWS don’t wait in line at shake shack, come here and get a better burger every time.

Burger was on greasy bun. Meat was low quality. Cooked onions appeared tired and were probably cooked days ago. The fries were nothing special and this place doesn’t provide ketchup. Any diner is a better option for a burger than this!

There is a sign scrawled with a magic marker on a piece of white cardboard in the window that says «This might be the best Eff-​ing burger in NYC»
I took that as a challenge. The buger with caramelized onions was cooked exactly the way I asked (medium rare) and served with a chipotle aioli, fries, lettuce and tomato.
Then I took a bite. Wow, I had to admit the very nervy sign was totally correct!
I’m not a beginner foodie, I know most of the best places in NYC, including it’s best kept secrets. Now I know one more. You would never guess from looking at this tiny place, with just 2 tables inside, that such great food could be had there.
As for the service, the owner has been there almost every time I went in, and I’ve been lucky enough to catch him at slow times in the afternoon between lunch and dinner and we have had some really nice conversations that made the experience even nicer, and believe me, the burger all by itself is an experience not to be missed.
The fries are tasty and great to dip in the chipotle aioli. If you remember, you should order them extra crispy, the way I like them.
I am looking forward to trying some of the other things on the menu, especially the Manhattan clam chowder. They have lots of things that sound adventurous, as I try them, I will write more!
Now that I know what these guys are capable of, I’m looking forward to seeing what else they’ve got up their sleeves!

Excellent burger. Fairly priced. Friendly staff. Cozy seating (2 tables). They do a lot of deliveries, the phone didn’t stop ringing while I was eating lunch. Regulars kept coming in and out. Menu is cool with a lot of comfort foods.
Overall — great local place, nice menu with good prices and a nice varied selection. I’m a happy camper.

I went there Saturday and let me tell you the Chicken pot pie was awesome. I also order the fries and it came with a sauce that was delicious. Who ever knew chipotle and mayo together. I know chipotle has some mayo but adding more was genius. This owner deserves a hand shake. I can not eat my fries without this makeshift sauce best ever.

I have ordered from here a handful of times and every time is a new experience. Sometimes it’s all great, sometimes it’s all bad, but no matter what every time they forget something. Tonight was no exception, the fried chicken was very good, the mashed potatoes were dry, and the corn bread was burned. They also forgot he extra side of gravy I ordered and brought no utensils.

Just ordered from Harriet’s (only 2 tables and no décor to speak of so it’s pretty much take-​out or delivery only) and was happy with all the food and delivery service. We made special requests to and they were honored properly.
The burger really was the best burger I have had in a long time, and cooked just as requested. Lemon Chicken with Linguine was great. Chicken pot pie was pretty good.
Delivery was very quick, faster than indicated (we ordered before 6pm so it was probably before the dinner rush).
Only feedback for Harriet’s is: when someone orders a burger and fries, you should send ketchup! There were also no utensils or napkins, which for us wasn’t a problem, but definitely could be for some.
