Star Restaurant

If you are addicted to snazzy and pop, go to Denny's or somewhere, but if you want to enjoy the type of America when life was easier, most of definitely go to Star Restaurant in Hanford.A return to an earlier time, and decorated accordingly, with lower prices, hard working wait staff, home cooking - nothing sent from corporate freezers, a look at the past -back to1901, and pancakes the size everyone used to serve is what you will find. Don't be like some of the reviewers who are probably so stressed and hurried, they are looking for a McDonald's experience in a jewel of the past. Stop demanding and enjoy what is there. Just be pleasant, smile and say thank you when being served by some of the hardest working waitresses in the west - the way it used to be mostly everywhere.You will leave calm, well fed, and glad you slowed down a bit to enjoy the finer things in life - your neighbors, great food and prices, and poss some disdain toward our more modern ways.Enjoy this hometown favorite!

First time trying this place. Staff is friendly. Service was good. Food was really good. Ambience is old school diner style. A lot of Norman Rockwell pictures and Coca Cola memorabilia as well as pictures from 1901.

Nostalgic ambiance, classic dishes, reasonable portions. Personal faves include the Biscuits and Gravy and their Cold tuna sandwich :)

The food was great this time. This is my second visit the first time the food was burnt and not so good. My husband took us here today and I was quite skeptical. I even took a long time to order because I was so disappointed from the first visit. Anyway the waitress recommended their French toast which end up being super tasty. My Husband got biscuits and gravy really tasty this time. Just for the record he got it last time and it was burnt. Another difference is the last time we came right when breakfast was ending, so I don't know if the food was burnt because they rushed us.. any space is really old and dusty but the restaurant has been around since 1901. I would go back but crossing my fingers that the food is good again

Good basic breakfast, huge pancake, good price for the special, but the day I was there, they only had one waitress and the place was several tables and was getting busier. There were plenty of empty tables when I sat down, but wait was very long, which was problematic for me since 2 eggs, sausage, and a pancake should take 40 mins tops from order to exit and I was there almost twice that, which made me pretty late for my next activity. It was almost 30 minutes before I even got to order. I don't have anything bad to say about this place, but that's too long for me for a simple breakfast.

Came here to have a nice breakfast with my nieces and nephews. An absolute disappointment in terms of service and food. Sausage was burnt, food took over an hour to get to our table. The waitress was stressed due to how busy it got, but had one of the most disgustingly rude attitudes I have ever encountered while being serviced. It was appalling. I'd rather eat out of a dumpster than come back to a place that treats its customers like this.

I go here often. Even sport one of their t-shirts. The food is always wonderful. There have been times when I have gone in and they were slammed...with one waitress, and still received service with a smile.

The food is amazing, the service is great and the ambiance is very rich in local antique decor. Immersing you to an earlier slower paced turn of the early twentieth century. Lots of locals frequent this cafe.

Busy and takes a bit but so worth it! Best pancakes and porkchops ever! Prices are cheap too.

It is a simple place with good food and good service. Add low price and we have a winner. It is easily one of the best eateries in town.
