The new menu is awesome. The vegetarian lasagna is simple delicious.
Casandra SOctober 21, 2012Food is just ok but i ate every bit of it so I could sit longer and watch the entertainment. It was so much fun!!!!!
- Amanda FranckOctober 2, 2011Awesome mozzarella triangles, waffle fries, and grilled cheese. Yum :) Great singers too, of course!
Eleonora CarisiSeptember 15, 2013The food is not great but it's a place where you can discover real young talent for the music!
Cath McEvoyDecember 30, 2013Entertaining way to have breakfast! Food is average but the service is great
Riccardo OttoliniMarch 3, 2013Happy Days Style, the sofà nera the window is the better place to eat!- EllensStardust DinerApril 28, 2014It may be Monday, but there's always #bacon... #BreakfastClub #EllensStardustDiner Read more
Steph LSeptember 6, 2010The 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!
ElizabethAugust 19, 2012Don'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.
Matthew BurgettAugust 26, 2011This place is a MUST for every trip. Young or old I recommend going. Tip big!
Rahul GuhathakurtaFebruary 10, 2015Ellen’s Stardust Diner gives a 50’s feel to your dining experience.
Kevin SheaJanuary 14, 2016It's a fun experience. The food wasn't spectacular. But for a diner, its average. The waitstaff is what makes this place great.
- Jennifer DombrowskiSeptember 1, 2013Fun! Entertaining! But the coffee is horrible! Service is not the greatest!
David TinklepaughDecember 7, 2014Your 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.
Mark BrowningJanuary 1, 2014The line looks long, but the doorman calls for parties as table is open.
Aykut AkbulutNovember 16, 2011Be ready for a waitstaff or two sing on your table! They are like popped out from the Broadway musicals.
Kat F.April 19, 2013We 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.

Mark HDecember 28, 2011Awesome singing! Food is surprisingly good tho a tad pricey. But hey it's NYC.- It's loud but incredibly fun. After a few adult shakes you'll party with the staff.
Jonathan HallApril 2, 2016The 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!
Mal DJuly 30, 2011Be sure to sit on the main floor and not the mezzanine! You'll have a better experience!
Jonathan SmithDecember 3, 2017I got horribly sick after eating there. No one else in our group got sick but I spent the next day in bed. We enjoyed the entertainment but I paid dearly for it.
