Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Good food, good music and good fun. Not cheap - but very worth the wait. Waiters were singer their hearts out.

We queued for an hour to get in which wasnt worth the wait to be honest. The food was overpriced and to be honest very average at best. The entertainment was excellent and the singing staff were amazing.

Had heard of this place before so I had to stop by to check it out while I was in the neighborhood. Went for dinner and there was so much going on when I was there. The singing waitstaff was quite entertaining but no way...it could make up for the average food. Ordered the mighty burger and it came out with dry bun and an over-cooked patty.More

Nice food, however we were seated upstairs at the back and couldn't see any of the entertainments as none of the singers came nearby. Good concept, just luck of the drawer as to where you are sat.

Had to queue for about 40 mins but brilliant entertainment and didn't want to leave. waiting staff sing and dance across the 'tables'. Food relatively expensive because of the terrible UK/US exchange rate, but one of our favourite experiences

The food is ok, but definitely having your meal with a tune is always the best way to go. It's always busy, so I went for breakfast. A must see stop in NYC.

If you want breakfast to wake you up, then this is the place to be, the atmosphere here beats any place you have been or likely to go too. this is the home of the singing waiters and it really sets you up for the...day. The food served is more than tasteful and it is service with a smile.More

If you indulge in guilty pleasure shows that involves singing, then this is the place for you! Food is great w/ large portions-very filling. The employees dazzle you with their amazing voices and they sing anything.

Got into NYC late in the afternoon and found this place close to the Sheraton Times Square for dinner. Old school Diner theme with 'singing' servers. Had a great experience. They also serve breakfast and lunch.

Finally got there for breakfast on our last day. Arrived 0830 and only waited a few minutes - was well attended by our waitress who was also a fantastic singer. We all had pancakes, which were filling - very thick and fluffy, with bacon, syrup...etc... Have never been entertained at breakfast before and this really was fantastic, only one of the singers was a little weak - rather flat, but all the others were Broadway quality and the hostess/manager gave us some insight into their CVs which was impressive. Overall a really enjoyable hour or so - would highly recommend for the atmosphere and entertainment.More

We really had a great time here. The vibe and the service was excellent!!! We were a group of 4 with a toddler and we really felt at home here. We ordered 3 burgers and one Philly cheese steak - personally I felt the burger...was a bit dry and the steak was not like a genuine Philly steak (duh, we are not in Philly). Price wise, I felt it was steep at around $18 for a burger, but hey the entertainment was free!!! Yes, it is worth a visit!!!More

The food was very average burger very undercooked and raw despite asking for medium to well done, tasty milkshakes. Music and entertainment was pretty good initially but very loud, irritating after a while. Tables are far to crammed you have to pull the table out...to sit down, your sat on the laps of people next to you. Slightly cringing how the owner begs for money to help for dance classes etc as I can imagine the owners/managers pocket some of this. I'd prefer to tip my own waiter/waitress then they can use that money for classes. They say things like 'wev had amazing donations of $20' which I think was unlikely. Been begged for while eating is annoying. We did return for breakfast which was ok, nice pancakes but the same entertainment, crammed seats and begging. Ok for a one off experience, wouldn't return.More
