ChloeApril 23, 2017Everything is so tasty, Sliders Rellenos with Crispy poblano cheese is damn good, will definitely come back just for those sliders
Patrick WathenAugust 24, 2017The sirloin stir fry is great! Some gristle in the beef but other than that everything was very well cooked and delicious. The Justin Cucumberlake was okay, I would try some of the other cocktails.
Paige KlingermanDecember 7, 2014I was so impressed. The brunch was amazing, service was excellent and vibes were on point. I had the eggs in purgatory and it was AMAZING.
Roniel TesslerAugust 11, 2015Lunch is surprisingly quiet and the food is great at reasonable prices. Don't fear the late night crowds. Vynl is a sure bet for a midday meal.
GorileoOctober 13, 2014Homemade waffles are great! But they are served with spicy syrup, so don't pour all the stuff over the plate unless you like a little chili on your breakfast! ;)
Cam_in_BrisSeptember 28, 2017Great if you need late food post-show (or are heading to the HK clubs). A little pricey, but big meals that have flavour. Frozen red wine cocktail is fun.
Samara GrassottiOctober 9, 2016The decor is just super cool and the service is great. Do not leave without ordering the Disco Fries!! To die for 😍
Danley HuNovember 10, 2016They play a lot of good pop songs. I just really enjoyed the Beyoncé-ness of the place. The fries are a must! The curry was also amazing.
Guille PassaSeptember 8, 2013We had the Mac n cheese, sliders rellenos and the brownie for dessert, everything was really good. The sliders win the first place though! Oh, the service was great too!
You must visit all the bathrooms. each one has a celebrity theme. A must see! The servers are always fun and attentive. Great fashionable unpretentious crowd. Get a margarita. They make them strong an
CMAugust 29, 2015FROZEN mimosas... get the large! 😛 Great atmosphere, moderately loud music, some outdoor seating and great service!
Victoria NautaMarch 15, 2015Pad Thai is excellent. As well as the Mac & cheese. Fun, delicious drinks. Very loud. Crowded. Impossible hand dryer in the bathroom. Fun night out!
The Corcoran GroupAugust 5, 2011We absolutely adore this campy and upscale diner. Start with a Kung Fu Fighting and followed by the Buttermilk Fried Chicken. Then visit Dolly in the bathroom!
Sarah BachmannSeptember 30, 2013Great place for STRONG frozen drinks! Elvis' Revenge has to be one of the greatest things on the menu. Friendly staff and great service. WILL BE BACK SOON
Chris DMay 23, 2016Lively place (ie themed bathrooms and quirky music videos playing on repeat) with friendly service. Brunch food was good, not too fancy.
Great spot to unwind. Tiffany, Robert and Ellie always take great care of you at the bar! Be careful with the Carlos Santana. More than 2 and you'll probably be sloppy.
Steak & eggs was awesome. I'd order it just for the steak it was so tender. And when you order fruit it's good fruit (I got kiwi, papaya, mango), not the filler BS. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Eileen IrizarrySeptember 2, 2012Great food, but the service is a little shotty. Visited twice, first time service was amazing. Had the Grilled Cheese, which was delicious! Second time, waitress was horrible, but again great food.
Jasmine FowlkesMay 29, 2014Beyoncé-themed ladies restroom is THE BEST. Beyoncé music blaring, Beyoncé decor complete with a Beyoncé Barbie doll.
Def one of my fave spots in the hood. New brunch menu is great - got the madame ham, coffee &doughnuts., and french press coffee .They're supposedly changing nelly bathroom into jayz!
HowufJuly 20, 2016Best damn waffles I've had. My fromosa (frozen mimosa) tastes more like a frozen tequila, but it was still great.
JenKuduSeptember 25, 2013Fun brunch spot with huge lattes, hip tunes and funky bathrooms. The bacon waffle and burger is really good :)
Fernando FigueroaMarch 18, 2015Came in walking and just curious about the place and ended up being really good. Devil eggs and pad thai are great!
Amber PorterFebruary 2, 2015Everything here is amazing! Cheeseburger egg rolls, fun cocktails, flavorful entrees - you can't go wrong!
I hate the new VYNL ;( used to love "getting away" from everyone & taking comfort in the dark booth & drinking w/friends. The new VYNL has a different feel and I hate it. And prices are up. RIP VYNL
Ana Maria ZirogluDecember 13, 2012Loved the decor. Food and drinks were great! Bathrooms cute too. Went into Cher and Nelly; the Elvis and Dolly were seemed to be always occupied. ;)- Guha ArunkumarJune 10, 2017Strongly recommend the truffle mac and cheese! Get a vanilla or chocolate shake to go with that.
Raymond RodriguezFebruary 27, 2013Get the Carlos Santana! (half margarita and half sangria) also sandwiches are awesome. Definitely one of my fav restaurants!
Francesca MiaJune 16, 2012Ask for bacon or a poached egg on the truffle Mac and cheese!! It's not on the menu, but they still make it and it will change your life.
Whether you want something healthy or you want to really "chow down," this is the best place to go. Ask about their happy hour!!!
Diana SalamehJanuary 26, 2011There is nothing not to love about Vynl. Reasonably priced, delicious food, great service. It's a fun little treasure. Lots of Broadway celebs in and out around showtime.
Jackie IoninMarch 12, 2012cheapest/best bloody mary's for brunch. make sure to check out each of the diff bathrooms: elvis, dolly, cher, and... nelly... nobody gets how/why they picked the last one.
Clay NicholasFebruary 25, 2013Drink lots of liquids then check out one of the four rock n roll themed restrooms. You won't want to come out. Can they just serve drinks in there?
Silly assed happy hour rules. If I'm spending the extra money to sit down and order food where I would probably drink more, you can't have happy hour prices. So instead I'll have free water.
Tom MaesDecember 30, 2012Definitely a fun place. Lots of options for vegetarians. Little loud for my taste though. Hard to have a conversation, especially when sat at a corner table underneath a speaker.
Erick BattagliaMarch 9, 2014Food was great (shrimp tacos, chicken nachos and turkey meatloaf) and great service from Brittany!
Kathryn DSeptember 24, 2016Good to get in/out when you're pressed for time pre-theater. Black kale salad is worthwhile.
The new menu is great! Some of the old fav dishes are gone but I'm definitely finding new Favs....chicken and waffles!!!!
J.R. ReedMarch 30, 2017hip, retro-ish American trying to attract millenials -- good spot for hip American/Asian food- Get anything on the menu—you won't be disappointed! Also, definitely check out the themed bathrooms!
- Trying to decipher the business model. No happy hour drinks if you eat in the food section. Drink specials end so early you can't move to the back to order food. They almost want you to not order food
Amber SchreinerOctober 4, 2013The disco fries were a mouthgasm and the grilled cheese was a perfect hangover recovery cure. Service wasn't anything to write home about but I'll still be a repeat customer.
Allie JanveyMay 19, 2014So many great options to choose from at reasonable prices. You can't go wrong eating here!
TreyciSeptember 10, 2013Elvis' Revenge sandwich: Peanut butter, tempura banana, and bacon. Amazing as a meal or dessert
Amanda ArmbrusterNovember 12, 2012Love the bathrooms, dirty martinis & the veggie burger (didn't have the bun or fries so can't rate that part ). Great place!
BravoNovember 11, 2010American and Asian comfort food and the best bathrooms in the city! The cher themed one is my fave. -Zac Young, Top Chef Just Desserts
Chelsey DMarch 19, 2010Had the Vynl and thought it was way too sweet!! Truffle Mac was great, lemongrass wrap was AWESOME, asian chicken salad is good (order dressing on the side!), turkey meatloaf is yummy! Overall tasty!
Trish GJanuary 25, 2015Chicken Pad Thai and Mac and cheese with truffle oil! Connor was an excellent server.
Natalie AnilloJuly 27, 2016Get the lemongrass beef salad - it's so good. Also must see the bathrooms.

"This is my favorite watering home in NYC. It's pretty quiet before 8. But then it comes alive with fun. Great country music and dancing bandits on the bar. What's not to love?"
