I've been going here for 10-15 years for breakfast. I always get the same, over-easy eggs, crispy hashbrowns, ham and rye toast. I've rarely had any issues with the food. It's usually the wait staff...They always get the eggs just right and I've never been served a broken yolk (are you listening other breakfast places?). Over-easy eggs don't have broken yolks. Their crispy hashbrowns are just that, crispy! They're not gray or half cooked potatoes. The toast is made of high quality rye bread (Schwebel's?) with plenty of butter (and it's always perfectly toasted). THE HAM!!!Oh my god, the ham! This isn't some awful ham roll, no no! It's a slice from an actual ham! Real HAM! I was told it's Dearborn ham and I'd bet that it is. If you're not familiar, Dearborn makes great stuff.So, my issues...Not sure, but the coffee seems like it changed. It's weaker now and lacks the flavor from the coffee I remember from the past. They also stopped garnishing the plates with a slice of orange. I LOVED that slice of orange. Finally, the wait staff.They have some great waitresses but every once in a while, I get one that really doesn't know how it works. Because the server can really screw up a meal, I've avoided going back for months at a time. One time the waitress brought everything except the toast. I started eating the ham and potatoes. By the time she brought the toast, the eggs were cold and I couldn't eat them. She still charged my though. Didn't go back for a year, I swear. It's really important to always bring the complete meal. If the toast chef was asleep at the wheel and the entire breakfast becomes ice cold, have the line re-fire the order. It's not the customer's fault.Anyway, it's a nice, family place. Things usually go well, but there are those times...Oh, the place gets crazy busy on weekend mornings, especially with the after church crowd, so go early or plan on a wait.

Clean basic diner. The breakfasts are large portions however nothing exciting. Asked for over medium eggs and got over easy with some uncooked white. Sausage & pancakes good. I thought it was unusual that my friend got a ham and cheese omelette and the price is listed but at the very bottom and tiny print they have extra charge for cheese? That's very odd seems like they should just change the price of the omelette. No up charge on the eggs just on the cheese.(even though it's actually supposed to be already included) I would like to have seen some kind of latte or cappuccino available. Maybe tomato juice or blueberry muffin or something with avocado.someone else in our party said that they would like to have seen a breakfast sandwich. Nothing really to bring me back. Our waitress was nice did a good job. Overall the service and employees seemed good. Never been here for anything but breakfast. Lunch and dinner looks like they're quite a few options kind of makes me think of a Coney Island .

This is a busy, friendly local restaurant with an expansive menu with a little something for everyone. I have tried their spaghetti and a chicken pita. The spaghetti was pretty basic but the noodles were well cooked and the sauce was fresh. The chicken pita could have been a little better. The tomatoes were rather dried out little cubes and there was a ton of onion that I had to remove because so much overpowered the flavor of the sandwich. The tzatziki sauce that came with the sandwich was underseasoned in my opinion but it did add moisture to the sandwich. The server was attentive and made sure our glasses were filled with water and that we had everything we needed as we ate. Prices are reasonable and service was pretty quick each time I have been here, with plenty of staff available to assist diners.

One of the best Diners in the area.Nice menu with a large selection, fast service and friendly too. Very reasonable prices and fish specials many days besides Fridays. Open and airy seating that's enjoyable. And a large variety of fresh cakes and pies on display. One of my very favorite places to enjoy eating out.

One of Temperance's most popular eateries. Red Star is one of those places where you can go and get a good meal at a fair price. The restaurant is always clean and the staff are usually friendly and very attentive. This visit we had breakfast which was served hot in a timely manner. There's not a bad item on the menu. I've been satisfied every time I've ever came here. A word of caution, Sundays you'll probably wait a little bit for a table. Give them a try

We love coming to red star on a Sunday morning or after a busy day of school and work when we are just too tired to cook or have a little bit of time between activities of the day. The staff is always super friendly and the portions for the prices are great. I actually enjoy the dinners and lunch more than the breakfast because a lot of their stuff is homemade (sauces, soups). The breakfast is typical good breakfast like you make at home, the country skillet is delicious though . Bigger on the inside than it looks and haven't had to wait more than 15 minutes--even with big crowds.
