So much fun! Live the desserts!!!
Salvador MoraguesMay 6, 2014
The food we tasted was just Ok. The place was less special than expected. Maybe higher expectations. Very noisy.
Pedro Matias CostaMay 31, 2015
Nice place.
Kristy BairdAugust 23, 2014

Stay away from the vegetarian shepherds pie..
Marc LermanDecember 19, 2010
Service is on the slow side and the food isn't great. The waitstaff is very entertaining and the dessert is very good
Jason CiprianiNovember 28, 2014
Food isn't that great, but the entertainment is. Guess that's what you get when going to a tourist spot.
Eric HansenJune 7, 2013
Expensive... But you're paying for the location and the fabulous singing wait staff.

This place is proof of hell on earth. You eat stale diner food while show tunes are blared in your face amidst obnoxious 50's decor. I'd rather stick a fork in my eye than ever go back.
Erik OlsenMarch 16, 2011
They have hot coffee and they WILL throw it at you.
William BarnettMay 27, 2015
Interesting singing
AtifSeptember 22, 2013
Been there twice. Great ambiance but a bit too noisy. Food is not that not great. Service tends to be slow.
ToddDecember 27, 2015
The show is good but the food is absolutely awful.
Elizabeth DeVolDecember 30, 2011

Noisy but fun.
Ted McCallieFebruary 15, 2013
Don't come here. We were seated and then no one spoke to us for 15+ minutes. I finally waved someone down to take my order and barely got an apology.
BertrandMay 14, 2014
Great show but mediocre food...
Howard GreensteinAugust 8, 2009

Sprocket is awesome!!!
Keith SwiderskiMay 22, 2012
Broadway is so close, yet so far away.
Patrick KaineDecember 12, 2010
Get ready to be sung to if it's your birthday.
Danielle V.August 6, 2013
Filthy place, terrible food. Sweet waitstaff is very entertaining -- Broadway hopefuls working for exposure.
Anita BoeiraMarch 29, 2011
Bad service, food is meh, and the untalented staff is painfully noisy. Also, they are not upfront with the house rules: be aware you gotta order at least $10 per person: no sharing! Tourist trap.
Adam QRMarch 24, 2011
Avoid, avoid avoid. The food was poor and totally over priced, the service was shockingly poor. The only good thing was the singing which is fun, until the whack the volume up too loud...
Susan CourterApril 27, 2010
Great place to eat before seeing the Letterman Show
