damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Harlem Shake yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Harlem Shake's flagship 124th Street location has been featured by the NYT, Forbes and Bloomberg since it opened in 2013, and that sustained press has kept the smash-burger counter busy over a decade later, per the restaurant's own account of its origin story on harlemshake.com.
During peak hours the original location is known for roughly 30-minute waits for a table, a pattern consistent with a walk-up counter format that doesn't take reservations, though the restaurant's site directs visitors to its individual location pages rather than posting live wait estimates.
