Great food and fantastic service. The atmosphere was fun but always professional. Our waiter was knowledgable with great travel tips. A must place to visit for dinner and drinks. Totally recommended.
The chicken and waffles are the greatest. Also the orange juice is the best! The service was timely and the waitor was very helpful.
I go to Cafeteria to each of my trip to NYC, and I'm never disappointed! The food is great, the prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is fun day or night! You can also enjoy the sidewalk tables if the weather is nice.

A lesson well learned
Cafeteria is a great place for New Yorkers or tourists that are interested in the New York City pop culture trendy scene. The food is very tasty and fresh. I have gone here many times over the years and it is very popular on certain days and can take forever to get a table. Waiters and waitresses are busy trying...

Cafeteria oozes pretentiousness. The waiters, mostly male, barely weighing in at 100 lbs., look like they're all aspiring models. The clientele are all equally trendy, which made me feel slightly self conscious as I trapse in there in my laid back jeans and hoody look.
So annoying and pretentious but you'll probably still go back and enjoy the food because...
