    Awesome mozzarella triangles, waffle fries, and grilled cheese. Yum :) Great singers too, of course!

    since the food is expensive and greasy, you should get a dessert and enjoy prime singers all night long

    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.

    Food is absolutely terrible, but singing waitstaff are an absolute joy to watch. Also serves strong and pretty delicious alcoholic milkshakes and warm drinks.

    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.

    It's a fun experience. The food wasn't spectacular. But for a diner, its average. The waitstaff is what makes this place great.

    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.

    It's loud but incredibly fun. After a few adult shakes you'll party with the staff.

    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.

    Be sure to sit on the main floor and not the mezzanine! You'll have a better experience!

    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!
