Yes, you have to wait to get in but it is worth it.
Food is expensive but you get a ton of it. David was our waiter and was fantastic!
Our kids loved it here. It was an experience that highlighted the trip.

Just go!

Due to some other reviews I'd seen, I had arrived with lower expectations for the food and rather had gone for the entertainment. This was incredibly naive - the food was amazing, desserts were absolutely huge (and totally not bought just so we could watch the staff for longer). Not only this but there was constantly a new song with a new staff every time one had just ended!

Fantastic experience and worth every bit of money.

As a patron, if I have to ask if your security is a legitimate employee of the restaurant you need to rethink your security officer. This hostile event happened on 8/30. Your security officer was acting very hostile towards me as I was entering the restaurant. I did not know you were closed. He did not speak very good English and seemed very hostile and threatening. Please consider hiring workers who represent the business in a professional manner.

Very pricey and average food honestly. The singers are neat and server was friendly - if I had it to do over I wouldn’t have wasted one of my meals in New York on a place with overpriced average food at best

Don’t come here for the food, do come here for the vibes! The menu had enough variety but the food definitely disappointed quality wise. However, i would still recommend to go because of the experience! The artists are so good (most of them) and deserve the spotlights!

Don’t even second-guess going here. If you love Broadway — or even just want a taste of it — this is a must-visit NYC spot. The wait can be long, so get there early or have someone hold your place to secure a table, because it fills up quickly after opening. It’s busy for a reason: the live performances are incredible. The servers take it to the next level — singing while serving, standing on tables, and putting on a full Broadway-worthy show. Just note, it’s not the place for long conversations or talking since it does get very loud.

What a joke. Went in and got a nice little table in the back where you could watch the performers in a small tv. Didnt get to see anything or enjoy it. Asked to move and wait staff was rude and condescending. Would not recommend getting your kids excited about it to watch people from a small tv screen.food is not good either. But you pay for the atmosphere which we didn’t get to enjoy.

A very unique, bucket list restaurant to visit while in NY!
My sister and I had to kill some time and got hungry after seeing a show on Broadway, so we waited in line at Ellen's to experience this! We waited in line for 20 minutes- the wait was worth it and it goes very quick!!
The hostess takes you to your table or seating area in the restaurant, and not only do you get a dinner, but you also get a show! As you are eating, the servers and hostesses take turns passing around a mic and singing songs! They are almost aspiring Broadway Stars!! There is typically no time limit on how long you can sit in your space- which is nice if you're looking to kill time and for some entertainment.

The menu is basically American Food- grilled cheese, burgers, pasta, etc... Very good for those who have to eat Gluten Free.

This is a must visit and an experience!

On August 21st, we visited Stardush to inquire about table availability and to take a look at the menu. Unfortunately, the security guard at the entrance was, at best, extremely rude. It was a highly disappointing experience in terms of customer service and created a very poor first impression of the establishment. This was particularly surprising, as we had heard and read excellent things about the venue’s interior and the overall experience. It's truly unfortunate that one individual can negatively impact the reputation built through numerous positive reviews, especially when the staff inside is known for delivering outstanding performances and service.

Unfriendly staff and long wait for average food

Jeanine Sandoval

We had no idea what to expect, and were FLOORED by the performances, food and fun factor. The singing waitstaff are destined for greater things. So talented, every last one! Highly recommend!
