Northstar Cafe is THE best lunch spot in the area, hands down. Why? Consistently amazing food. Simple at times, but always elevated, and always worth slowing down and enjoying the experience.The food is still 5 stars. Though their menu varies seasonally, which I love, this time around, I ordered the Simple Salad and Black Bean & Chicken Chili. Yes you will love this, and together makes a satisfying, healthy meal. The salad alone is probably the best salad that exists! It will make you like kale, be sad about all the salads you make at home, and realize that loads of dressing does not a salad make. Fresh, fluffy, fantastic...I would eat it everyday! The chili was unexpected, and better than what you'd make at home. The chicken was (seemingly) a slow cooked, pulled chicken, and though I'd say there was too much cheese on top (I bet people ask for extra all the time), it was still well balanced.Even though the meal was excellent, on the chilly, snow covered day, I ordered their Hot Chocolate. OMG ORDER THIS! It is heavenly bliss in a cup, delivered at the perfect temperature. The melted Belgian chocolate puts ALL other hot chocolates (powdered or not) to shame! This is meant to be savored slowly, and because it's so decadent, possibly shared with a friend. But I consumed it all, and have no regrets, other than I cannot enjoy this at home! It's comforting, can cure depression, and dessert and winter warm up combined in one unassuming mug.Service was solid as always...do they require those working at Northstar to pass a vibe check? It seems that way.What would make Northstar even better? If they had gluten free desserts...though I could always order the hot chocolate! :)

It's been a while since we have been here and since my family was back in town, they wanted Northstar food. I ordered chicken chili and my wife ordered a pizza, sausage and pepper. They don't have many options to add to their pizzas but it was good. I could have done without the smoked Gouda but it was good. The chili was good and had just enough spice for flavor. $18 for a decent size pizza , the chili was $9, I think. For a bowl, that seems to be reasonable for this area. I know restaurant prices are not what they used to be but if the food is good, I don't gripe too much about the prices. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There is plenty of light from the large windows.

I stopped in Northstar Cafe for breakfast today, and it was my first time visiting Northstar. It was a very posh restaurant, but easy to get a table for bunch on Sunday without a wait. I ordered the Country Breakfast in the picture which I felt was a little misleading and very overpriced for what it is. When you read the title country breakfast with biscuits, bacon, sausage, gravy, and eggs you envision a big breakfast platter which this was not and was disappointing to see when it was served. Although the food itself was very good, the entire time I felt disappointed because it is not what was expected. Additionally when it says biscuits and gravy , I would expect more than a single biscuit that was split in half. It kind of felt like how my dog looks at me when I break his treats in half.

The food here is mouthwateringly delicious. They are an amazing brunch spot and dinner spot. For brunch I tend to get their pancakes and hot cocoa. For dinner I got their cheese pizza and steak with a burrito. The service was fast, friendly, and warm. The ambiance was romantic, green, and open. The cheese was melts and the sauce was delicious. The steak was soft and well marinated. Highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to enjoy a savory and exciting meal.

North Star just is always a place you can go and enjoy. Is it the cheapest place No but the food is worth it. The staff is always professional and friendly. The place is always clean and comfortable. This is a place we go often just because it never disappoints. For me personally the hamburger or their fish sandwich is my go to. Some of the best in the area if not the best. Their simple salad is another go to. If you've never been here GO. I highly doubt you would be disappointed.

Northstar never disappoints. I was in town for the holidays and had to make it a priority to stop by one of my favorite spots for lunch with a friend. I've tried several dishes on their menu at this point - at both this location and their restaurants in Columbus. This time around, I was in the mood for their Mexicali Salad. Let me just say that this is not your ordinary salad: this is packed full of memorable flavors and textures. The buttermilk biscuit croutons are easily the star of the show, and they're so crispy and crumbly that they almost resemble corn bread.My friend and I also split an order of the french fries and rosemary aioli - which was the perfect little shareable while we waited for the rest of our food to come out. If you're in the mood for a fresh, tasty lunch in Liberty Center, add Northstar to your list!

Order at the counter and find a seat. They'll bring the food to your table. Our burgers were pretty tasty and the seating was interesting. I liked the vibes of this place and the employees were nice.

I recently enjoyed a delicious lunch with a friend at Northstar Cafe. Parking was a bit of a doozy but worth it. Northstar provides excellent service and great quality food. My friend got a southwest salad and I got a cup of black bean chili. The chili was good, but I wasn't blown away and didn't love the raw onions on top (I would make sure to ask for the soup without those next time). We also got a big order of fries and dipping sauces to split. They totally hit the spot-- especially with the rosemary aioli. The interior is decorated so nicely. The prices are a bit high, but you are definitely paying for quality.

The food is excellent. The restaurant is quite large and has a cool vibe. The staff were friendly and made great recommendations. When entering you pick up a menu and place your order at the counter, the food is then brought to you at a table of your choosing.

Casual spot in Liberty center. Open seating, Walk up and order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Fish sandwich was good; fresh fish with a good sauce on the side. Friend had a burger and said it was solid.
