Editorial Review for Ellen's Stardust Diner – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Ellen's Stardust Diner opened in 1995 as a mock-'50s greasy spoon and not long after that, added its now-famous singing waitstaff. The festive crew serves from a gigantic menu of American classics: chili, burgers, cobb salads, baked potatoes, wings, philly cheesesteaks, club sandwiches, you name it. The rear room is a relaxed jazz space with 185 seats, where diners partake in Times Square dinner theater late into the evening.

I read many reviews on Ellen's and decided that it was the place to take my granddaughter for her 10th birthday. My elderly in laws were here from the west coast, and total in our party was 10. I even called the week before we went to the city to make sure they could seat all 10 of us together for this ocassion. I was told it wasn't a problem. We arrived at 2 on Thursday afternoon, and they tried to seat us ALL in a triangle shaped booth. There was no way we'd all fit. We asked if we might all sit together and they refused to let us move to seats that would accomodate all of us. (those seats were saved for couples only!!!???) My husband, my sister in law, and I, had to sit away from the birthday table! My granddaughter was upset, and the food was undercooked (her hamburger came out almost raw!) The only good part of this restaraunt was the singing. The service and the treatment we got was AWFUL! I wouldn't go there again.
Pros: Singing was great
Cons: Food and service were below average

I usually eat out alot and I like trying new places. I saw this diner after coming out of meeting so I decided to go in. The food was good. I really like the wings and the burger I order was huge. My waiter was really friendly and sweet. I love the music and the singing since I got to sing along. I recommended this place to all my co workers and plan going back many times. It is pricey but its time square so no big deal.
Pros: friendly wait staff
Cons: price
