So we were staying in midtown and it is difficult to go somewhere else for lunch and see the island for several hours. I had a burger and fries and the food was pretty good. The service at the register was efficient and friendly. The...food was prepared quickly. Pricing was not unreasonable. Here is the problem, the complete lack of seating inside. Who designed this place? We came on a somewhat cloudy Friday and had a difficult time finding a place to eat inside (this was December and was cold). The seating outside in the summer may be sufficient (and if it is really hot in the summer this may not work out real well either), but in the winter it is not. You may want to consider building a gift shop somewhere else and put seating for the cafe there, because this is not working out.More

Hello and thank you for your feedback. We are glad you had a good time while visiting us. Unfortunately the lack of seating is due to the amount of space that was leased to us by the National Park Service. Hopefully in the future it...More

I think in my mind before we visited the Statue of Liberty and even seeing the building I had a vision of a large cool comfortable cafe to escape from the hot summer sun and grab a bite to eat. There was a big queue...for food but they seemed to be quite efficient in dealing with this and there was a good choice of hot and cold food and drinks. Unfortunately whilst there was quite a lot of outdoor seating this seemed to be mostly full and not all in the shade and the inside area was mainly taken up by the serving counter area leaving very little dining space. The best wasn’t made of the space available with a handful of large metal type circular tables and not enough chairs, there were also a few upright small tables but with no chairs as you might imagine most people want to sit down. There were also a few benches round the edge of the room all occupied. It could do with a refurbishment. There was a screen separating a shop accessed via a separate door. This should be relocated to allow the cafe to make use of all the space in the building.More

It was hot on the island when we visited the Statue of Liberty. This basic tourist eatery wasn't too crowded, was cooled, and had decent food. It's not an incredible value, but it's not badly priced either. A nice spot to wait for the next...ferry and to get something to eat.More

You don't go to the Statue of Liberty for the food so I didn't have high expectations. The "All American burger" and stale pretzel would have had the immigrants heading back to their native country if they thought all US restaurants were like this. I...joke some, but this was by far the worst food on our 10 day trip that included Taco Bell and street vendors. The burger was bad (tasteless but with a hint of cardboard). Enjoy the Statue of Liberty, but bring lots of snacks.More

Terrible meal, we ordered fish & chips and all we got was a small bag of Lays chips and a small, dry fishstick. The dinner room was not clean. We had to pay $60 for 3 meals and 3 bottle of cokes. One of the...most terrible dinners I had in my life.More

We had the first reservation for the Statue of Liberty at 9 AM. Getting all of the family out the door, onto the subway, and down to battery Park before we missed the ferry was a feat in itself, and we didn’t have time for...any breakfast on the way. We hoped there would be some thing to eat out there on the island and/or at Ellis Island. When we got to the cafe off the ferry, we saw people ordering hot dogs and coke at 9:00 am. This was not a good sign. We looked and found several breads/coffee cakes kinds of things, some yogurts, and they do have regular coffee and (poorly made) espresso drinks. My wife is gluten free, and they have no gluten free items for breakfast except the yogurt. There is no breakfast protein at all. Since we came early, we didn’t try any of the lunch items, but I think it could be passable for a quick lunch in between there and Ellis Island. Their menu says that they have gluten free buns and breads for the burgers etc., but you should confirm before planning on eating there.More

This place really needs a complete reset. The tables were messy and covered in food, half the staff were screaming jokes at each other in the kitchen and ignoring customers and the others looked like they couldn’t care to be there. On top of this...there were pigeons flying around inside, and the floors and toilets were a complete mess. Better to avoid unless you’re starving like I was.More

Got to be one of the worst experiences I have ever encountered. Extremely rude person served us and actually had an argument with us saying that we had ordered differently to what she thought. It was incredible. This person appeared to be working against their...will and the manager had no control over the person’s behaviour. The food was horrible - my fish and chips was a tiny piece of dried battered fish.More

Cafe located inside the Statue of Liberty Island this quick grab food like, chicken fingers, fries, Burger. They do have cold sandwiches,wings, and beverages. The prices are okay. The portions are definitely good. You have an outdoor dining area as well as inside. The staff...inside the serving area doesn't care to attend the customers. I wonder if they might be tired after seeing a lot of people. It's a decent place to grab something quick.More

The island is very well maintained and offers amazing views of Statue of liberty, Downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn. If you go to the Statue of liberty, you can eat at the Statue of liberty crown cafe. Hudson Greene is an apartment complex in Jersey City...which is a great place as well.More

The chicken sandwich was meh and the veggie burger wasn’t too good. Stick to the french fries to get you through until you can get something when you are back from the ferry ride. We were really hungry though so thanks to the staff who...were nice and it was a good place to sit out of the wind for a little bit.More

Pretty standard cafe food. We hit it at the right time(before the lunch rush) so it wasn't too busy. Found a table inside with weird individual bench seat-things. I can't really describe them but they weren't comfortable. They also looked like they needed to be...renovated. Price was ok for being on Liberty Island. Soup was good.More

If you want to have a bad meal in New York then visit the Crown Cafe at The Statue of Liberty. Over priced food, poorly cooked, in fact a disgrace overall to the Catering Industry. If the authorities in New York read this review, may...I suggest that this Cafe be closed down. The eating area outside the cafe is a rodents delight, no effort by the staff to clean or tidy the area, to be blunt, some of the staff need retraining.More
