The food was alright but the vibe was amazing. P.S. If you tweet them you can see your tweet on the TVs in the diner. Now there's a picture of me with a Shrek backpack that will appear there for a bit

Scary Decisions You're presented with a plain, salted caramel & turtle cheesecake but you can only choose one. What do you do? #dessert #cheesecake  Read more

Singing waitresses provide great entertainment....a must do if you love musicals...I hope they all get their break someday, that deserve it

This was such a fun vibe - the signing waitstaff were definitely a highlight. The food was pretty decent as well so I would come back. I did think it was a little overpriced.

The desserts are awesome we had the Red Velvet cake and the Rainbow cookie sundae. The next table was raving about the whoopee pies. We had pasta dishes which were surprisingly good. Singers R GREAT

My daughter had a wonderful sweet 16 birthday here. The waiter even did a Dear Evan Hanson medley for her and her friends because one was wearing the shirt from the show! Such a memorable night!

Great family/ group atmosphere really good fun and the food is really tasty and a great price for what you get. Best NYC place to eat.

The New Yorker omelet is yummy.. And the best music are the old hits and broadway tunes. Save today's radio hits for the radio :-)

The singing is so amazing and worth the trip. Reservations are a must

Insanely expensive, huge food portions. Talent is top notch, they threw straws and confetti to simulate Elsa's ice power during "Let It Go".

You can have a really great time at this diner with great entertainment of the singing stuff as well as really delicious food!!
Hi There!January 6, 2014
If you can, try to request a table downstairs or if upstairs, along the railing overlooking the downstairs area. Along the wall upstairs, we couldn't see a lot of what was going on.

We love Ellen's! Come here every time we visit New York. It is loud but SO much fun. The wait staff are all Broadway-hopefuls and they make the experience totally worth it.

This place is great and a lot of fun! Be prepared to have to shout if you're having a conversation though, it's super loud inside!
Peyton KellerOctober 14, 2014
I loved the Mac and cheese and the fried mac and cheese bites are my favorite. The singing is awesome too.

A place for tourists but I have ro admit that Inhad a good time. The staff sings broadway melodies while you eat. Good Burgers roo
Sarah FleischmanMarch 12, 2013
For lunch, the portions are HUGE. Got a sandwich and three different sides. The sound system is waaaay too loud. It is really touristy but could be fun if you are with a group of willing friends.
Kayla StegallFebruary 15, 2014
nice little diner, unlike anything I've seen before. Buffalo Chicken Wrap could have been better, but the entertainment is worth going for!
Lisa MarlierAugust 21, 2013

Fun place to eat, decent food! Order some drinks from the fully stocked bar and prepare to watch some talented waiters sing!
Nick BucklandApril 7, 2019
Burgers are great. The wait outside went a lot quicker than expected.
Caitlin ClementsFebruary 10, 2013
Totally corny, and overpriced as well. But it's fun to come see the singing waitstaff and either "play tourist for a day" or bring actual visiting guests!
Sara 🌈⚔🍾September 6, 2014
Awesome late night stop. Great milkshakes. Can be full of tourists, so approach with caution.
Kelsey HuseMay 6, 2018
Cheesy but fun. Make it extra cheesy by getting the Mac n cheese
Andres NovoaNovember 4, 2015
If you're fine with sitting at the bar you don't have to wait in line. I don't recommend trying this if your group is >2 people.

The chocolate chips pancake is just great! Have to try!!!
