Brigitte PerezJanuary 5, 2015This place is amazing seriously. Mac attack, biscuits, steak ugh amazing.
Alayna CarterApril 26, 2014The Mac and cheese with bacon is the best! Ordered fried chicken blt and it was amazing. Had plenty of leftovers.
Joana BeJuly 13, 2013The biscuits are great just to start but the Mac & Cheese took the cake! No wait on a raining day and the vibe was just right.
Try the Mac Attack, which has three awesome Mac and Cheese samplers in 8oz. cups. The truffle oil Mac and Cheese is amazing! You'll probably want to get a large size one to go.
Amy CummingsMarch 25, 2018The Mac & cheese and chicken & waffles were delicious, but the truffle fries stole the show.
Alexis FanApril 16, 2012Definitely try the mac & cheese. That's what they are known for. The best one is gouda cheese and bacon. The slider burgers were good too.
Raciel CastilloDecember 12, 2012The menu changes at 1 am. So be sure to be mindful of the time you come in. Try the soup and Sammy after 1am. So delicious!
Gabriel HayesFebruary 28, 2016Love the Inferno Bloody Mary. Made with Skyy Vodka, flambéed Serrano pepper and a house-signature bloody mary mix.
Troy CoxJanuary 1, 2015#institution Totally trendy and cool late night classy diner. Music is loud and the grub is uber delish comfort food.
Pablo GoldbargDecember 1, 2014Big portions, great quality, friendly service, nice atmosphere, decent prices. Everything is good here.
Fenja von RockenthienSeptember 14, 2015It's a good place for Mac'n'Cheese but not for fish! The fish didn't taste fresh.. I could eat it at all and I love fish!
Stu ChamberlainJune 24, 2016I heard the mac and cheese is good. I had the roast turkey Thursday special, which was large and very good.
Fernando FungJuly 12, 2013If you never tried cooked fruits before or had a horrible experience like me in the past, I suggest you to try Cafeteria's Peach with glazed nuts. That experience opened the eyes of my taste buds!
Selina HackJanuary 1, 2017The mac and cheese is amazing. Great vibe, open 24 hours, staff is so enthusiastic !
Natalie AnilloApril 6, 2015Get the blackberry mojito and truffle oil mac & cheese (by far the best of the choices)
Amy BApril 5, 2015Biscuits & gravy not your traditional version. Which isn't a bad thing. Spicy & creamy!
Donnalicious 🦖October 21, 2015they hv a nice room in the back for intimate dinners and a chic casual lounge downstairs.
Steak and eggs is amazing! Be sure to say hello to Josh at the door. Excellent post nightlife hangout. Contact is for all your nightlife needs.
Behind The BurnerSeptember 27, 2010The food may be delish, but the cocktails are even better! Jennifer Castillo shook up a Aloe Citrus cocktail that was to DIE for. Refreshing and unique; we love that it includes lemonade! Read more
Gansevoort Hotel GroupJanuary 19, 2011Go for the mac and cheese, the cobb salad, the fried chicken and waffles and the people watching at this unquestionably hip and greatly located restaurant.
HolidayMarch 12, 2018Music way too loud on Sunday evening to have a conversation. Mac n cheese reminiscent of 20th cent cafeterias. Requested burger medium and it was well done. Competent staff.
Olivia FabbroJune 23, 2015MAC AND CHEESE!! Get the tasting one with 3 types so worth it! skip the burgers though
Gwendolyn AliDecember 13, 2013Old haunt after a great night of clubbing back in the 'day'. Great place to hang out at co Xmas party too. Hung out with Rita and Beau. Good times.
Patryce CritzMay 31, 2013Some of the best food ever! Tables are a little cramped so make sure to sit in the tables that are right behind the host station!
Bullfrog & BaumJanuary 24, 2011Delicious comfort food with an innovative twist. When really in the mood to hit the comfort spot try their delicious Macaroni and cheese or their Meatloaf.
Hotel IndigoJanuary 23, 2013Open 24/7, this edgy NYC institution offers up gooey gourmet mac & cheese and savory fried chicken and waffles. Read more
Olman CastroJune 1, 2014The burger is a little dry; must be the low fat content of the meat. It was tasty and served w fries and dill pickle.
Suzi DafnisMarch 16, 2012You might need to wait a little if it's busy, but the staff were great AND they serve breakfast til 5 and they will do burgers in lettuce rather than bread.
Von B EdwardsAugust 8, 2012The mac and cheese is hands-down the best I've ever had in NYC. Forget S'MAC, Cafeteria is THE place to go.
Cindy LamJune 12, 2014Mussels so good. Cosmo yummy. Mac Attack is delicious but calorie bomb. Two people can share that.
Stan BashmashnikovSeptember 22, 2014I call this NYC's premier "Loungy Diner." Once you've had the Mac 'N Cheese, go for the Chicken & Waffles.
Rafael GonzaqueMarch 24, 2012Came here to eat then party? Have the espresso martini to avoid crashing! Really good!
Jason KeathNovember 11, 2012Order an Aloe Citrus cocktail. Not too sweet, light but good gin flavor, rounded out by soft tastes of lemon and aloe.
Ana AlanisJanuary 17, 2013The Pumpkin Crunch Sunday is the perfect combination between tangy and sweet. You have to try it.
✨#IamRomdelacrème✨April 14, 2012Grilled Mahi-Mahi dish is delicious and if in the mood for a cocktail, Wild berry Mojito is very refreshing.
Saar RahakbauwJune 1, 2010First of all, make a reservation. A lot of people agree with this being perfect for lunch. The salmon BLT is to die for! And celebrate whatever occasion comes to mind with a peer mimosa's. Read more
Sabrina PorterMay 12, 2010Mac and Cheese spring rolls where awesome.Their red velvet cake was a mound of goodness.Their peanut butter cheese cake desserts were yummy. (I am not a fan of cheese cake at all) But this was goo Read more
Mark HimmelsbachJuly 4, 2012Three things: 1. Great Mac n Cheese. 2. Open 24 hours. 3. Amazing bridge & tunnel people watching
DannyMarch 2, 2010again, me and my mac & cheese. if you're also a lover, you start w/ the "tasting of all three" appetizer... cheddar & fontina, smoked gouda & bacon, and truffle oil. can't go wrong w/ turkey burger!
