"Had a late lunch at Harlem Shake on Sunday afternoon. A solid smashburger and even better milkshakes. Quality: I prefer a thick burger to a smash burger, but there is no doubt that the food here is delicious. I had a few bites of both the Classic Burger and the Hot Mess Burger, with the Classic being my favorite of the two. Special sauce wins out over the pickled relish and chipotle mayo. Loved the soft buns and the meat was quite tasty. We went with Curly Fries as a side, which were good, though I could have used them a bit crispier. The signature Harlem Shake was the highlight of the meal, love the red velvet flavor. Quantity: The smash burgers are easy to finish, so more than one may be needed, especially if you are sharing fries. Value: $8 for the Classic Burger. $10 for the Hot Mess Burger. $5 for Curly Fries. $6 for a Harlem Shake. Ambiance: Harlem Shake has two locations, we visited the one in Park Slope. The exterior has an old school look, with awnings and lights that remind you of car hops. Inside that look is continued with a classic color scheme and menu. They have a massive wall of notable black celebrities and advocates that draws your eye. There are a few tables and booths inside, then two separate large outdoor eating sections, one in a street shelter and the other under an awning. Crowd: Just one other family eating a late lunch on Sunday. Service: Everyone working was incredibly nice. It felt like the over the top friendliness was part of the experience. Parking: Limited street parking in the area."
