If you eat in one place in New York make sure it is here. We had breakfast and wanted to stay all day. Arrived early just after 7.30 so as not to queue to long , we waited about 10 minute shown to our table upstairs and there the fun began. One by one the waiting staff performed show tunes. One minute our waitress Megan was serving us and the next singing my fair lady. The food service was not compromised by the singing at all. We had the most amazing bagel with salmon and cheese, doughnuts 🍩 omelette and scrambled eggs all were lovely. It’s not surprising that they are apparently the third busiest restaurant in the would a must for every New York trip. Thank you to all at Ellen’s

Massive queues! Tourist trap! Expensive & food ain’t great! Seen better karaoke
Save your money. Had it’s day.

This is a really good place for breakfast. Food is ok, nothing special but the entertainment is what you really come for. Arrived to a number from Grease.

We arrived at 7.15 and queued for 45 mins - I loved it - husband was not impressed with food!
We tried to go a few times whilst in New York- queue was long everytime.

Waiting staff bring buckets for tips - not in your face at all.

Great entertainment- would go back but get there for opening time. Would like to go back for evening entertainment!

Very busy but seated by a very happy waiter who only cared about our experience
Thank you my friend as we are overseas visitors you made our day
Loved the food & the experience

Staff: fun and entertaining.
Food: average but tasty enough.
See photos below for more info regarding the line to get in. At 10:54am there was a multitude of available seats in the restaurant as we were leaving. However, upon exiting the diner, the line was quite lengthy. It seems they do not fill seats for their patrons and would prefer the look of exclusivity by having a long line to get in.
