The Acorn Restaurant

Stopped by here for lunch while driving thru Harlem. Cool atmosphere, located in a bed and breakfast style setting. Very polite staff. Kid friendly. Tables have paper coverings and our waitress encouraged our daughter to draw on the paper covering with the crayons they provided. That made us and our daughter very happy! I ordered a Philly cheese steak with house chips and my wife got the chicken finger basket. My Philly was very good! Really enjoyed it. My wife said that the chicken fingers were just ok, but she knew ahead of time that they were not home Meade chicken fingers. We got the acorn bites as an appetizer and they were extremely good! Definitely a lot more on the menu that we are going to try! Give this place a shot!

They saved me! I didn't know they made the fixings for my tea party bridal shower until my baker fell apart and I messaged Renee and they helped me with only a few days notice! Everyone was delighted with the look and taste of everything at the party! Thank you so much!!

I came in for breakfast early on a Saturday morning. The restaurant is part of a B&B, Red Oak Manor, and it fits with that kind of vibe. I was the only diner and it was very quiet in there until someone eventually turned on the TV. The staff was very friendly and when I ordered the lady taking the order let me know the biscuits might take an extra couple of minutes. Managing expectations, good move since I could have pivoted to toast if time was an issue. Where they lost a star was when my omelet came out without the grits and I was told they weren't quite ready. After a wait I was offered potatoes which I decided to go with but she went ahead and brought the grits and explained the consistency wasn't what they liked. They were soupy. Good quality and tasty, but soupy. The omelet on the other hand was great. I got the Acorn Omelet that had onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, bacon pieces, white cheddar and a generous portion of pork tenderloin chunks. Very nice omelet. I feel like there is 5 star potential here and definitely recommend trying them. Oh yeah and the price can't be beat.

I've eaten here a few times but it's been a while since I have. Most of that is due to the pricing. Seems a bit steep for me to take the whole family. The food is good but just above average. There are some dishes that are surprisingly phenomenal such as their steak. I never expected a country kitchen to put out decent steaks such as this place has. The atmosphere is what I believe most people rave about when they tell others "you simply must eat at the Acorn". It's very much a country style place where everyone even strangers are exusingly nice to you. It's worth a try at a minimum.

I've eaten here several times, and never been disappointed. Great food, great customer service, wonderful owners and staff!
