I will come here time and time again. The staff is always extremely enthusiastic and friendly . I bring my dog with me and they treat her like gold. Every time I bring someone new, they always enjoy!

Harlem’s Hungry

OMG everything I tried on my visit was superb. The meatloaf super moist the tomato sauce light but packed with so much flavor. The calamari was to die for crunchy and savory. Try the 3 cheese Mac!

Erik Cintron

This place has it all from trendy decor to sexy people. The food is great too all the simple food you love with a sexy twist. Good drinks, fair prices & Excellent wait staff . must try Mac attack !!

Stella Ricci

Cheesy, Ooey gooey Mac Attack ! This Cheddar & Fontina , Smoked Gouda & Bacon and Truffle Oil Trio is out of this world! Mint Ginger Iced Tea and Nutella Hot Cocoa were interestingly good!

Anya Moroz

One of my favorite spot in the the city . The best Mac&Cheese in my life. Big portions , positive vibes, stylish people and great atmosphere . I highly recommend it ????????????

Alex

Mac attack includes all three mac & cheese dishes. the salmon quinoa bowl is yummy. lively place with solid classics. the downstairs lounge is nice as well .

Bee Williams

Everything about this place was great! We ordered a sampler of Mac&cheese. I ordered the roasted chicken and it was delicious! They don't take reservations and they're always busy so be ready to wait

Meli

Wildly amazing food and service! Get your soul food here. The wild berry mojito & mac n cheese are MUST TRIES! The chicken is juicy and flavorful and so is their fish . RSVP beforehand.

Gabriel Hayes

The Fried Chicken and Waffles are phenomenal. Served with Cheddar Tabasco Waffle , Crispy Sage Grilled Lemon , Chili Butter and Maple Jus. A definite must try.

Missy Mackey

The mac n cheese trio was good. I liked the truffle best. Steak sandwich and fries also good. Nothing mind blowing, overall pricy for what it was.

Nirav Suchak

Indoor seating is chic and the outdoor seating is good, if you want to indulge in people watching . Also, their smoked salmon Benedict is one of the better ones I've had in the city !

Siobhán

There's only three items on this menu I'm familiar with and they're the only three I need: truffle mac and cheese , truffle fries (with aioli ), and the lamb burger . It is always so satisfying to here!

Luka S

Phenomenal Mac & cheese and calamari . Good cocktails and a very chic atmosphere. Will definitely come here next time I'm in NYC

Selena Nelson

Amazing food! The service is exceptional. Everyone is super friendly and hospitable . I recommend the Mac N’ Cheese and the Fried Chicken and Waffles .

Ailie Chang

Everyone gets the Mac Attack and Chicken and Waffles here. They are delicious but if you want other yummy things I would suggest the BBQ Ribeye Tacos and the Blackberry Lemonade !

Bitches Who Brunch

The maple almond granola served with fresh fruit , low fat Greek yogurt , and organic honey is great for a light breakfast and the restaurant also serves up some killer avocado toast . Read more

Erin Murphy

All the food I've ordered has always been delicious. Great cocktails too. They usually quote you a longer waiting time but it goes faster. Have a drink by the bar while you are waiting.

Nicole Lee

Get the mojito or mimosa pitcher for about 5 drinks (you'll save about 50% by buying the cocktail in bulk and it's fun for the table!) Butternut squash toast , Mac trio, and mahi tacos were great.

Burk Jackson

I have to say that the Skirt Steak was one of the best bargains I've found in a while. It was a substantial portion of steak , not a few slivers, and the spinach and polenta fries were amazing

Walter Bryant

This is NOT your typical diner ! The food is delicious and there are healthy options . Grab the soup & sammie and grab a few forks of the truffle Mac & Chz from a friend's plate! Sexy, chic vibe here

Gothamist

Cafeteria's most decadent offering is its macaroni and cheese , which come drenched in cheddar and fontina and are served with smoked gouda and bacon , truffle oil , or with 3 cheeses and an herb crust. Read more

Eric Fernandez

My goodness, this place has the best MacnCheese i've ever had in my life. The baby spinach salad is to die for! Had my 1st glass of Pino Noir wine , it was nice & tasty (not too dry w/ a sweet kick).

Eric Fernandez

Came for my b-day week. I'm in awe of space design (like a mansion) + bathroom area, OMG! Food? Sigh...spinach salad + MacnCheese is to die for! I also ate the mushrooms (I dont even like mushrooms !)

Gianna Salvato

This place is BOMB. Food was so reasonable compared to a normal NYC brunch menu . Will totally be back. Their Avocado Eggs Benedict was amazing.

Wilson Zhou

I stopped by for 5:00 am drunk food cuz it's 24-Hr operative and there's a line . Now you know how popular this place is. Green eggs and ham is healthy and phenomenal. I will do brunch there totally.

M K

Fantastic food, the green eggs and ham are epic. Make sure and be overly nice to the gatekeepers at the door, it can be a tad diva-esque, but once you make nice they're like butta! Consistently great

Mazi O

This spot is the greatest after party place to eat at. I love the way it feels like a posh club. You have to try the mac & cheese egg rolls ! Amazing!

Jacqui B.

Everything is good here: the food, the staff , the service. Try the Cafeteria Old Fashion, the bar snacks , truffle fries and fried Mac and cheese .

Riqui Lawrence

Pretty much everything is created well and just tasty. Just the right serving of food that you don't fear for your waistline or feel cheated for your money. Staff has always been attentive.

Paige Klingerman

A good place for dinner for 2. The truffle macaroni and cheese was absolutely amazing! To drink get there fruit infused mojito !

Ryan Bright

Lemon Ricotta pancakes are light, refreshing, and delicious. Maple cured bacon was a great side pairing. Avoid the espresso .

Amanda Smith

Dying to go back. The manager (Milano? Sp) was so sweet and fun with our group. A friend told me parts of Sex and the City were filmed here. Great atmosphere and delicious food!

Chelsea

Short rib tacos are the bomb. Definitely recommend the Liquid Passion and the Wildberry Mojito ! And deep fried Oreos are a must.

Jen Shin

amazing brunch . the salmon benedict comes on potato pancakes , so that was a plus. and the mac attack was absolutely delicious!

The Corcoran Group

Chic cafeteria serving delicious upscale diner food 24 hours a day – try the mac n’ cheese or the Fried Chicken N Waffles . Visit the lounge downstairs for liquid fare.

Gothamist

This chichi Chelsea hotspot's gotten a few grey hairs since its Sex and the City glory days, but if you're yearning to see a model pretend to eat a burger at 5 a.m., THIS IS IT, baby. Read more

Karen Congdon

Ifyou are in the mood for something sweet, try the homemade crispy buttermilk waffle ! Ask for it with the chantilly cream instead of the cinnamon , it really goes well with the fresh berries !

Elizabeth Otaola

I went here on a Saturday night after the clubs closed at 4am(or rather a Sunday early early morning). The food was unexpectedly delicious. I don't normally like Mac and cheese but this one sold me.

Brad Klein

Comfort food galore. Moscow mule twist is good. Come with friends and share BC everything look tasty

Compass

Find comfort food 24 hours a day at Cafeteria. The fried chicken and waffles , mac and cheese , and Cobb salad has become a favorite of young Hollywood and locals looking for a late night snack .

Michelle Wiles

All the salads are great. Especially after you go all in on the mac n cheese sampler ????

Kayleigh Harrington

Great fries and burgers . The gluten free bun was delicious, like a burger between two hash browns .

Amanda McMahon

Sure, get the Mac Attack like everyone suggests, but for the veggies out there, the black bean burger was delish! Super chic , upscale diner . Great food after a long night, somewhat pricey .

Katie Gillis

The outside seating area is awesome on days when the weather is good. Plus, you can bring your dog with you! The waiters are so nice and they will actually bring water out for your pup on hot days :-)

Justin Orgel

I like to call the restaurant from the table for my check. Highly recommended if you plan on doing anything with the rest of your day. Burger rules if you aren't angry by the time it arrives.

Salvatore Canfora

Great outdoor seating area . lack of soul and identity. Salmon Benedict and Green Drink were excellent. Nutella bun was just ok.

FitBark

Little known fact about this trendy Chelsea staple? Their huge outdoor seating area is perfect for getting a table with your dog! Bones and water will be brought to your table!

dawn.in.newyork

Macattack, three different kinds of mac and cheese , is an essential. Open 24hours everyday. Lindsay Lohan used to brunch here.

BoozeMenus

Cafeteria offers a modern/intimate 24/7 noshing experience w/ signature dishes & tasty cocktails . For brunch , try the Inferno Bloody Mary ; with a group, opt for a carafe of the Prickly Pear Margarita . Read more
