The Philly sandwich was bomb!!We ordered this to go while passing through the area and it was so freaking amazing. The bread was crispy and warm with the perfect crunch. The meat inside was stuffed and the cheese was melty. Nothing got soggy. It was soooooo delicious. Our order was out quickly and on time as promised. The restaurant looked simple and cute, we would love to try out staying next time.

Stopped by on a Saturday early evening with 2 others. It was empty at the time we arrived but people slowly trickled in as it got closer to dinner time. The service was great - the server/cashier was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the Philly Steak and a Red Bull Slushie. The sandwich was solid. I especially loved each of the toppings (mushroom, onions, peppers). It wasn't the best Philly I've had but tasted pretty good. The drink was alright. I needed an energy kick and wanted to try it. Can't expect much. Half a can of Original Red Bull mixed with shaved ice. They gave me the other half of the Red Bull which was appreciated. I suggest they offer more flavors and sugar free options of Red Bull as my friend wanted to try it too, but she only drinks sugar-free. Overall, we had a good experience. The food wasn't outstanding, but it was good. I would recommend trying the Philly Steak. In the future, I'd love to try more menu items when I'm back in town. Prices are reasonable!Parking: Free parking lot at the restaurant!

My mom always talked this place up so today she took me through the drive through. Lady taking our order was rude and very short. Then we waited at the window of the drive through for 30mins...when they finally gave us our food the lady literally didn't say anything no "thank you" no "have a good day" just a rude glare. So because we waited a half an hour my mother obviously checked the order. She opened the top box which revealed the biscuits and gravy we ordered which I can only describe as a broken up biscuit with a teaspoon of gravy on it that was all stuck to the newspaper looking piece of plastic on the bottom of the container. I really don't care if their food is even good I won't support such lazy disrespectful establishments such as this one.

I used to get wraps like this in high school, so they're probably getting some points for nostalgia, but the two times I've been here the food has been good and appropriately fresh, and I appreciate the drive-up window option for COVID safety. I don't go this way that much, but it's an excellent option for a quick stop for lunch.

Very friendly staff, gave us the rundown on menu options. They have breakfast & lunch available. We arrived around 2 so we opted for lunch. The recommendations for top sellers were #1 Chicken sandwich combo & #10 Gyro combo. The chicken was good size, breaded & fried with cheese sauce. I added pickle & lettuce with tater tots. The gyro was a perfect portion of lamb, feta, diced tomatoes, lettuce & tzatziki sauce. Fries & tots were amazing. My only suggestion is to change from Pepsi to Coke products lol

Relatively short menu, but very concise. And, let's face it, folks, so many places over too many items at meh flavor, instead of focusing on a smaller menu and nailing it to perfection. And it's always nice to promote local as opposed to chain/fast-casual restaurants. Their breakfast menu is served all day, so I tried their Breakfast Wrap. Delish! No, nothing showy, just simple tasty BEC. Oh, and the gal manning front of house - was making good use of her time to straighten, stock, and clean up - kudos to her!Cute outdoor patio on the side. There's a drive-thru here and plenty of parking in their lot and street. Not too crowded on a Sunday evening, but that's understandable for its location over the last 30 years in Merion Village. Trust me though, if Star Kitchen can hold on, this area is heavy into the gentrification mode, so it will be a popping' spot in a few years time!

The orange juice was expired, I let them know and they showed me an unopened bottle to convince me otherwise. I had someone else taste it before I just left. As far as the food goes, I wasn't willing to risk it after the juice.

We came by for breakfast/ lunch before our drive back to Chicago as we read such great reviews all weekend and folks were recommending the restaurant to us. The restaurant has plenty of parking, and even has a drive through for quick service if you needed to get your meal to go. We decided to dine on the patio as we had our pup with us. We went inside and ordered and our food was brought out to us shortly after. I got the avocado toast and my husband got the biscuits and gravy. To my surprise, my avocado toast was more like a blt sandwich than a true avocado toast. It still tasted great but just wasn't really what I had expected. My husband got the biscuits and gravy it came with hash browns, scrambled eggs, bacon and an English muffin cut in half for the biscuits and gravy. In both meals the ingredients were super fresh, and the bacon was really crispy. But the biscuits and gravy felt like it was missing something or that there was tooo much gravy for the smaller biscuits. All in all we had a great time, and I would love to come back and try other menu items when we're back in town.

At 5:45 pm on a Saturday evening, our arrival at the Star Cafe was marked by an empty lobby. After having passed by the establishment numerous times with the intention of trying its cuisine and service, I was glad we finally did. The exterior's welcoming ambiance was matched by a complimentary parking lot, and the interior's cleanliness and maintenance were equally impressive. A quesadilla was requested by a toddler in our group, who enjoyed it immensely, while their mother also had a taste. The absence of a child's menu quesadilla was mitigated by the generous portion size and substantial filling at a reasonable price. The Philly cheesesteak boasted flavorful steak, peppers, and provolone cheese on a moderately sized bun. The Fire in the Hole burger was a highlight, featuring ghost pepper cheese and jalapenos on a toasted brioche bun, served with crunchy fries. With an array of options and breakfast service during specific hours, the establishment has something for everyone. Although I forwent dessert, the sizable slices of cake and pies will be a priority on my next visit.
