Ellen's Stardust Diner

I was there a couple of weeks ago! I love that place

no offense, but i find that place to be annoying... you cant enjoy your meal without someone singing in your face and sometimes really off key and clueless of the words. The last time I was there was 1 year ago and the waitress needed help with some "strongest suit" lyrics because she forgot the words. Im also not happy with Ellens stardust because I hear they are not so "equal" when it comes to hiring certain races.

I wish you well Seany....
I enjoyed it the three or four times I have been there. It is kitchy new york fun. I love it!

I was just there with the wife and kids on Saturday. We had a great time.

The burgers were good, the desserts were terrific and the service was shockingly good considering all the other stuff going on.

It's a fun wacky place for supper. Our waitress sang "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" with another waiter.

For the 4 of us the bill was just under 80 bucks. Including nachos and dessert.

I left a really big tip.

I usually avoid that street whenever I have the chance!

but if the darling little cherub known as seany will be working there, it will reduce the "Cringe factor" by a great amount.

Bravo Sean!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! I want to MARRY IT. They are so much fun and my waiter was hot and he had a nice voice and I was like "Mmmm hmmm, honey, you know what I mean." Not really but he WAS hot. Holla back Ellens Stardust Diner!!! Yay.

I love Ellen's Stardust and I am a true-blue born & raised New Yorker. It can be really fun if you are not the type trying to be to above it all to have fun!

I try to get my family into the city often and this is a great refuge in the middle of the theatre district. Also, with every meal you get a piece of Bazooka bubble gum. What more do you want than a reasonable meal with entertainment & gum. Let's not be greedy.

Break a leg Seany!

Hello Seany - Im so happy for you! I will be moving to New York soon to persue my performance career, and I was wondering if you could give me any advice on how much money to save before I go, how and what kind of living arrangements to make, and training and classes. Also, I've been to Ellen's many times, and have asked how to get a job there, and they told me just to come in and sing. I know how much it costs to live there, and I know how much servers make here and Dallas, and its scary... but I've noticed the great big tip jar everytime someone sings, and its always crowded, so since you're working there, could you give me an idea of about how much money someone makes working and singing there? Thank you, I really appreciate your help! And maybe we'll be working together soon! lol!

Broadway Diner has killer Mac & Cheese. Ellens is for tourists. Have not been in since Forbidden Broadway vacated the premises

I live in FL, but i go to NYC so often, i don't think i am a "tourist" when in NYC anymore, and i love this dinner. Definitly a fan place to go to after a show with friends. I just get frustrated when i see that im the only costumer with a playbill that doesn't say Wicked!
