Mac and cheese is still top notch and the ambience is very sexy.
Olman CastroJune 1, 2014The burger is a little dry; must be the low fat content of the meat. It was tasty and served w fries and dill pickle.
Fernando FungJuly 12, 2013If you never tried cooked fruits before or had a horrible experience like me in the past, I suggest you to try Cafeteria's Peach with glazed nuts. That experience opened the eyes of my taste buds!
Kari KinnunenJune 1, 2014Try to make any changes to the dish you're thinking about (like changing the cheece to something else) and get the straight NO as an answer. Start to think other options for the next time :)
Jenny NogovtnameJuly 6, 2012This place is truly amazing. Over the top trendy. It's on Sex & The City. The food is to die for. Mac N cheese is the best I've ever had!
Saar RahakbauwJune 1, 2010First of all, make a reservation. A lot of people agree with this being perfect for lunch. The salmon BLT is to die for! And celebrate whatever occasion comes to mind with a peer mimosa's. Read more
Cindy LamJune 12, 2014Mussels so good. Cosmo yummy. Mac Attack is delicious but calorie bomb. Two people can share that.
Natalie AnilloApril 6, 2015Get the blackberry mojito and truffle oil mac & cheese (by far the best of the choices)
Troy CoxJanuary 1, 2015#institution Totally trendy and cool late night classy diner. Music is loud and the grub is uber delish comfort food.
Selina HackJanuary 1, 2017The mac and cheese is amazing. Great vibe, open 24 hours, staff is so enthusiastic !
Make sure you get The Seasonal with Star Rum and after you swallow a sip, take a bite of the complimentary biscuits and it tastes like apple pie!
Natalia BakerJanuary 17, 2015Sausages, green eggs, ham & mimosas. If you like some bubbles with your brunch, this is the place!
Donnalicious 🦖October 21, 2015they hv a nice room in the back for intimate dinners and a chic casual lounge downstairs.
Olivia FabbroJune 23, 2015MAC AND CHEESE!! Get the tasting one with 3 types so worth it! skip the burgers though

Suzi DafnisMarch 16, 2012You might need to wait a little if it's busy, but the staff were great AND they serve breakfast til 5 and they will do burgers in lettuce rather than bread.
Kyle BrincefieldMay 26, 2010Long time cafeteria boy-- soup & sammie = favorite meal. Jonathan is the best manager ever. Chad rocks as well. MAC an cheese is legendary. If there is a long wait... you just aren't hip enough. Sat n
Bullfrog & BaumJanuary 24, 2011Delicious comfort food with an innovative twist. When really in the mood to hit the comfort spot try their delicious Macaroni and cheese or their Meatloaf.
Gabriel HayesFebruary 28, 2016The Mac and Cheese Spring Rollsare awesome. Served with Smoked Gouda Dipping Sauce. Such an awesome, innovative dish.
Jason KeathNovember 11, 2012Order an Aloe Citrus cocktail. Not too sweet, light but good gin flavor, rounded out by soft tastes of lemon and aloe.
Pablo GoldbargDecember 1, 2014Big portions, great quality, friendly service, nice atmosphere, decent prices. Everything is good here.
ZherawatiMay 23, 2017I had a crispy calamari salad, and it was not too satisfying! It tasted bitter, not sure if it was the batter of the dressing.. I was disappointed 😑 overrated and not cheap either !!
- Guest of a GuestFebruary 8, 2012Socialites, scenesters, and drag queens alike can be seen munching at this 24-hour "diner," which serves couture comfort foods like truffled mac & cheese and fried chicken with waffles
Gwendolyn AliDecember 13, 2013Old haunt after a great night of clubbing back in the 'day'. Great place to hang out at co Xmas party too. Hung out with Rita and Beau. Good times.
✨#IamRomdelacrème✨April 14, 2012Grilled Mahi-Mahi dish is delicious and if in the mood for a cocktail, Wild berry Mojito is very refreshing.
Stan BashmashnikovSeptember 22, 2014I call this NYC's premier "Loungy Diner." Once you've had the Mac 'N Cheese, go for the Chicken & Waffles.
Fenja von RockenthienSeptember 14, 2015It's a good place for Mac'n'Cheese but not for fish! The fish didn't taste fresh.. I could eat it at all and I love fish!
Brigitte PerezJanuary 5, 2015This place is amazing seriously. Mac attack, biscuits, steak ugh amazing.
Gansevoort Hotel GroupJanuary 19, 2011Go for the mac and cheese, the cobb salad, the fried chicken and waffles and the people watching at this unquestionably hip and greatly located restaurant.
Amy BApril 5, 2015Biscuits & gravy not your traditional version. Which isn't a bad thing. Spicy & creamy!

Steak and eggs is amazing! Be sure to say hello to Josh at the door. Excellent post nightlife hangout. Contact is for all your nightlife needs.
Go for the Cobb salad if you're looking for something reasonably light, way less intense than the fried chicken salad
Maurice MitchellMay 19, 2011Perfect if you just left the club you're hungry but not totally ready to give up being in a packed, noisy, environ filled with people rocking their party dresses as music is placed on full tilt.
Simon TschinkelJuly 23, 2013Soup special was Sweet Pea with Lobster. I don't like pea soup but I tried it and it was awesome.
Jay MateoFebruary 2, 2013Get the kale salad and add chicken... It's SO good and one of the healthiest options here
