    I am from Chicago and my husband and I would take our children to this restraunt when they were little. They have graduated college now. Ms. Sylvia would sit them on her lap and hug them. My oldest would say Ms. Sylvia are you a millionaire and that would make her laugh. I will always love this family. Thank you for being beautiful people. We love you. The Davis Family❤❤❤

    As a Black- German, i was introduced to Soul Food at Silvias when i lived on 125th street 24 years ago. What a wonderful restaurant & amazing food.

      Is usual black German food what every German typically eats? I never thought too much of black German culture.

    I was able to go to Sylvia's restaurant when Sylvia was alive, I was there celebrating my mom's birthday. Sylvia was gracious enough to come out and meet us. The food was amazing! I hope the second generation keeps things going.

    They are so right about this being family. I grew up in North Jersey, but worked a summer job in Harlem. I would eat there every day and sometimes twice a day💵 After I moved to the ATL they opened a location on Central ave and when I stopped in Mr and Mrs Woods greeted me like one of their own. Telling another customer “we’ve known him since he was kid”. Wonderful people and incredible food😋✊🏾
