I saw a video review, by a British tourist, and thought I'd give Lighthouse a try. You can see the attached receipt for the order details. The music is a bit loud, so you must speak up when ordering. The cashier repeated each part of my order but the music remained a hindrance. The general appearance was clean and smelled well, despite the fresh fish cleaning. The wait was over 20 mins but should have been shorter, as I noticed the wings being tossed at least 10 minutes prior. Also, what turned out to be my order had been on the counter for more than five mins before my number (along with four others) was called. It seems that there was a backup of prep and issuance of orders. When I got home, some 15 mins later, the food was still warm. The wings were fried hard (down to the meat) and I think that took away from the flavor. The garlic mashed potatoes were tasty but not outstanding (I'll try them HOT for better taste). The collard greens taste about the same as most restaurants (I could taste the salt in them). As with the mashed potatoes, I'll try them HOT. I liked the texture of the porgy, the best (head on!). The meat of the fish flaked away easily. So, do try the porgy. Now, about the drink. There were four dispensers, with four flavors (blue, peach mango, strawberry pineapple and I have no idea). I tried the strawberry (it rang up as peach mango) and you'll be addicted. If, you like sugar in your kool-aid then this is your place. I tried it straight and 1/2 water. There has got to be a happy medium! Overall, I can see why Lighthouse is popular and you should give a try.

*First things first* - BRING CASH The restaurant DOES NOT TAKE CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS Seafood is so so nothing too special. The sides are delicious especially the macaroni and cheese it would make you want to get a whole pan for yourself.the potato salad,yams etc. are good also plus the drinks are 32oz a little on the sweet side so you might have to dilute it with water to cut the sugar. All in all It's a great soul food/seafood place

My first experience with this restaurant was last year. Youngest daughter insisted on buying dinner to take out. She stood on a short line forever, then inside, it took her an hour to come out with only 2 orders. I blamed it on the pandemic. THEN my oldest daughter, on three separate occasions went to just buy cake. Took her almost 45 minutes for a few slices of cake. Nothing had to be cooked. The cake was delicious, but not the wait. I would encourage the establishment to really look at ways to decrease that wait time. They are known for long wait time. I would love to have a slice today, but cannot wait because #1 it is disrespectful to the Harlem community who deserves better. #2 I am elderly and cannot do this by myself as I can barely stand for these long periods. THIS MUST BE FIXED. GOING ON TOO LONG WITH BEING CONSIDERED SERIOUS ENOUGH TO FIX.
