The new menu is awesome. The vegetarian lasagna is simple delicious.
Amanda FranckOctober 2, 2011
Awesome mozzarella triangles, waffle fries, and grilled cheese. Yum :) Great singers too, of course!
Vanessa RuedaOctober 7, 2014
since the food is expensive and greasy, you should get a dessert and enjoy prime singers all night long

Dinner and a show in one place makes for a great experience! ✌️
Catarina MatosOctober 16, 2017
Nope. The line at the door was massive and was just for show off. inside there were lots of empty tables. The singes are talented but I think they should consider a different script for the mc.

Entertaining way to have breakfast! Food is average but the service is great

Happy Days Style, the sofà nera the window is the better place to eat!
Crystal GohDecember 8, 2010
Food is absolutely terrible, but singing waitstaff are an absolute joy to watch. Also serves strong and pretty delicious alcoholic milkshakes and warm drinks.
Kendra PrevostJune 22, 2015
Great place for a breakfast with a Broadway feel....#familyfuninnyc

Steph LSeptember 6, 2010
The food is Decent.However,the Reason to go is to hear the people sing to you while you eat your food. If its your Birthday teel them they sing to you!
Melissa WisemanOctober 21, 2019
amazing entertainment and food!
David TinklepaughDecember 7, 2014
Your kids will be entertained. That's good. The singing will distract you from the coffee which you'd otherwise refuse. That's bad. The food is ok but that's not why you're coming anyway.
Derrick FiddesMarch 23, 2013
Get here before 11 for the amazing breakfast menu
Todd MathisFebruary 14, 2013
Very nice waitstaff......talented singers!!! A Must Try!!!
Kevin SheaJanuary 14, 2016
It's a fun experience. The food wasn't spectacular. But for a diner, its average. The waitstaff is what makes this place great.
Matthew BurgettAugust 26, 2011
This place is a MUST for every trip. Young or old I recommend going. Tip big!
Gabriela PeixotoJanuary 20, 2014
AMAZING!!! I'M FROM BRAZIL AND WE LOVES THIS PLACE <33

Burgers, entertainment and desserts!

Ellen’s Stardust Diner gives a 50’s feel to your dining experience.
Aykut AkbulutNovember 16, 2011
Be ready for a waitstaff or two sing on your table! They are like popped out from the Broadway musicals.
Katie TJanuary 17, 2012
Amazing place! The Be Bop A Lu burger and an egg cream does the trick
Michael de BoerOctober 5, 2014
"Broadway shows" while you're eating. Very funny!
Mark BrowningJanuary 1, 2014
The line looks long, but the doorman calls for parties as table is open.
Luz HlnaJanuary 19, 2015
Best place to hang out after a Broadway show!
Adrian OsterburgJune 8, 2012
Awesome & entertaining diner! You have to visit!
Marcela RodriguezJanuary 3, 2015
Amazing. Waiters sing while serving.
Erica Eddy GlassmanJanuary 17, 2016
Amazing singing staff!!
Jennifer DombrowskiSeptember 1, 2013
Fun! Entertaining! But the coffee is horrible! Service is not the greatest!
ElizabethAugust 19, 2012
Don't come here if you are hungry, have a hangover or cannot tolerate egomania. Come here if you are lonely and want to escape the voices in your head or if you want to breakup with someone come here.

Mango Piña Colada. It's insane!

It's loud but incredibly fun. After a few adult shakes you'll party with the staff.
DmytroJuly 27, 2013
Non-stop live signing performance by waiters staff!
Leah BrayApril 16, 2012
So fun! Loud...but that's to be expected. The milkshakes are terrific.

Awesome singing! Food is surprisingly good tho a tad pricey. But hey it's NYC.
Kat F.April 19, 2013
We had fun but I wouldn't recommend going here if you have other things you need to do, or if you need to be somewhere at a specific time. Maybe make it your last stop.
Mal DJuly 30, 2011
Be sure to sit on the main floor and not the mezzanine! You'll have a better experience!
Enza AntenosApril 16, 2014
With visiting at least once ...and not for the food
Jackie WhiteheadMarch 23, 2013
Great place for teenagers
Jonathan HallApril 2, 2016
The Pasta Pommadora with Chicken was not good. The food was cold, chicken was dry, and the sauce was from a can containing little seasoning. I would not recommend this dish to anyone!
Holli RobertsonSeptember 30, 2011
Kobe burger is great- cooked perfectly!!! Great fun before a show!
Brent ZimmermanDecember 5, 2014
AWESOME FOR REAL.
E FOctober 27, 2022
Go for the music entertainment only, food isn’t great.
DR GApril 3, 2019
The singing really is impressive. The food is beyond bad.
Adriana GlassJanuary 8, 2013
