What Liv doesn't like about Home Sweet Harlem:
We arrived to the place and there were two customers, we were the third, it took over 10 mins to be served and there were a lot of staff. The waiter took over another 10 mins to bring water.

I had the farmer’s omelette and the sausages did not taste good the biscuits were over cooked and the grits were goo... View all feedback. What Laura G likes about Home Sweet Harlem:
I've wanted to try HSH since I moved into the neighborhood last fall, and boy am I glad I finally made the time!
