Profile

This themey theater-district diner serves up iconic nourishment, from classic American meat loaf and old-fashioned chicken pot pie to the rich, creamy shakes. A model-train set circles the room, fifties videos play on TVs, and if you come at the right time, you’ll be entertained by waiters and waitresses singing tableside Elvis and Broadway tunes. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Having visited New york for the first time, we were advised to go to Ellen's Stardust Diner. While the concept is really good the whole place needed a clean and repaint The waiting staffs' clothes either needed washing or mending While i a like a good sing song with the rest ,the volume was too loud and too frequent - couldn't eat my breakfast or hold a conversation. However the food was good. the coffee rubbish

Great time

The perfect time to go is right after a broadway show. You are still in that singing and dancing mood, and this place keeps you in it. The service is excellent, even while they are singing, they keep up with their tables, and they really like to chat with the customers. They inteeract with the audience, and their voices are pretty great aswell. Over all it was a great time, oh and the foods pretty good, lots of choices, especially the dessert section!
