A friend just moved to Roslindale and we found the Blue Star. I had thought the restaurants like this had been chased away. This is good food, prepared quickly and there's always a cup of coffee. She had the corned beef hash and I the blue berry pancakes. Both were delicious. Service was insanely speedy and really nice. If you need a no pretense place for breakfast -- this is the place. Amazing. read more

I have been going to this restaurant since I was 8 years old. When you can smoke in there. The place is great for fast breakfast food. They have amazing pancakes I came here with my kids they picked the most non breakfast food.. The French toast came out with powdered sugar and melted butter so amazing good. They have the best kind of fries. our waitress was good she got our order in fast. The drinks come in container so no refills only coffee And they unfortunately take cash only. This place I would recommend if you want to eat a quick breakfast read more

Tabletops and plates were ice cold, meaning the food was cold by time it got to us. The server didn't wash their hands before making toast. The home fries were an inedible mush. Coffee was good but not worth it. read more

When we went to have breakfast I had yelp to find a close place by to find breakfast and this came up. The food was cooked order it was perfect the server was very nice and friendly explaining everything that they had. I am looking forward to going there again has the home fries and the omelette was perfect. This is definitely hidden jewel in the center of Rosindale. read more

Blue Star Restaurant - Portuguese omelet (linguica sausage, tomato, onion, cheese) and tasty home fries with side of dark rye toast - Diners Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

This is a place I've heard about for years. It's a small restaurant serving breakfast and lunch. We ordered steak, a pancake, French toast, bacon, an omelette, home fries, and toast. Overall the food was bland. The pancake was tough. The French toast was thick and fluffy but not flavorful. The toast was barely toasted. If you order one egg and one pancake, keep in mind that it only comes with one slice of bacon literally. The steak was nice and tender. I didn't order it well but it came out the perfect medium well, which I usually don't order. If I have to go back, I will only go for steak tips. The ambience is regular diner like noise. The service is fast and very friendly. Our server was the only one and she worked the whole restaurant. She was quick and the food was piping hot. However, neither could compensate for the overall bland food. I won't be back if I can help it. :( read more

I honestly come here several times a year & it does the trick but I'm starting to feel like I should just spend my money elsewhere. The scrambled eggs with cheese never has melted cheese on it. Its like the toss a slice on cheese on it right before they bring it out. Then today I get lunch for the first time so I get the prosciutto panini (without the prosciutto) so basically a mozzarella tomato pesto panini. 1. Its not a panini its just toasted bread 2. The cheese isn't even melted. 3. Half of it is cheese and the other half is pesto & tomato. Makes no sense. I used to really like this place but I'm probably just not going to come anymore. Giving it 3 stars cause almost all the food actually tastes good and it's inexpensive but thats really it. read more

Blue Star Restaurant - Diners Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

They do NOT follow covid regulations. None of the employees in the kitchen are wearing a mask. I had major anxiety over the whole food safety issue and didn't want to be awkward so we ordered small dishes to nibble on and leave. The breakfast is extremely sub par. Would've had better breakfast at ihop. Pick the worse cook in your family and ask them to throw together breakfast for the fam, that's what this tasted like. Will never ever go here and would never recommend it to anyone. Waitress is friendly, only one waitress doing orders and bringing food when we were there. read more

Cozy breakfast spot on Corinth St. Been here 3 times for lunch and all three times were all excellent. Stuffed Peppers, Chicken Kabobs are some of my favorites. And of course, do not forget the coffee. Blue Star is Cash Only, stop at the ATM before you visit! read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE FROM OWNER. AND NOT TO MENTION HIS DIRTY ASS APRON. I WOULD NOT GO BACK AFTER THE RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THE OWNER. I came here all the time to order breakfast omelettes. They are over priced, and charge extra for syrup, but the food was convenient for me. I came here today and ordered an omelette. I asked for everything to be cooked well done, and my bacon was undercooked. When I brought it back to the restaurant, they asked if I wanted my money back, but I said very nicely that they could either give me the money back or just give me a side of well cooked bacon. The owner got an attitude with me and said that he gave me extra bacon so I can have my money back and do not come back to the restaurant. I let him know that I didn't ask for extra bacon, I asked for well done. I wouldn't want to go back given the trauma I now have of eating raw bacon in my omelette. read more

Omelette was good. Home fries are too soft. Coffee is horrible. Service was ok. They only take cash... who carries cash.

After being nervous about what would be open on New Years Day, we were very excited that Blue Star was open. For breakfast, I had chocolate chip French toast and bacon. I had never heard of putting items in French toast so I was interested to try it. I would say it tasted more like a bread than a traditional French toast, but it was still pretty good. I would definitely eat it again. The bacon wasn't my favorite; however, they did make it extra crispy upon my request. Service was average. Our food came quickly, which we were looking for. Worth noting they only take cadh. Overall- a lowkey, good priced breakfast spot. read more

It's ridiculous for a side order of 3 pancakes to be $21. Overall the pancakes do not taste good and has a mushy texture. read more

Blue Star Restaurant - It's ridiculous for a side order of 3 pancakes to be $21. Overall the pancakes do not taste good and has a mushy texture. - Diners Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

*zero stars* Slow service, burnt omelets and tasteless food make this place a must-not-try. Remove it from any list you have. Honestly, they somehow managed to remove the flavor from everything we ate. Potatoes? Flavorless. Pancakes? Flavorless. Linguica? Must have been cooked, refrigerated, reheated 12 times because guess what? Flavorless. It's pretty difficult to screw up breakfast but they've had 30 years to figure it out. read more

It was our first time and it was average. Prices are moderate not cheap. There is no sign saying to seat ourselves or what to do, it is awkward in any small spaced restaurant. After scanning the reviews here, seating has has come up before with other customers as well. This as well as the attentiveness of staff to refill coffee which is customary during breakfast time. If I ask myself why I experience this and others experience these two things over and over, it would be that the owner doesn't care. It's the small things that make a business great. It took 15 minutes to get the waitresses' attention away from chatting with staff for a refill on coffee. I realized that the tables all around me were waiting for more coffee as well, unable to get her attention. The coffee was made, but the waitress didn't seem to take notice that customers would like some of this coffee. The food, was o.k., nothing special. All around, attentiveness to customers would be a suggestion. Cash only, parking on street if you can find a spot. If you expect us to keep coming, make it worth the trip. read more

It's a small, local diner that does everything well. It's inexpensive, and tasty. They do omelettes very well and are always so accommodating. The fresh squeezed orange juice is so tasty. They are pretty basic, but what more could you want from a local breakfast place? read more

Terrific local spot with a bustling vibe. Great omelets as well as dinner entrees. Waitstaff is pretty efficient. Food is delicious. Try something other than the regular breakfast meals and be surprised. read more

Blue Star Restaurant - Spinach pie plate at Blue Star. - Diners Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

We went there for breakfast first time. Cheese did not melt on eggs, potatoes had no taste no onions or anything else. Waiter was friendly but it did not help the taste. Could've cooked it at home much better. This place is not for us! read more

No-frills diner with perfunctory service and cheap breakfast options that generally hit the spot. I'm a fan of their home fries (creamy potato chunks covered in tons of paprika), and their specials are interesting and well-executed (their spinach and feta pancakes worked surprisingly well). Note: cash only. Also, I'm still unclear on if you seat yourself or no (no signs, and not a soul said anything to us as we stood there awkwardly trying to figure out how things work- don't expect anything other than the bare minimum from the employees). read more

WARNING DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS !! I pull up and order my food. While waiting, I endearingly watch an Elderly couple stroll at their pace to the restaurant. They were both on walkers so it took them a while. The husband was a little slower but his wife never went to far ahead of him. The way they expressed their love expressed their love nearly moved me to tears. He was a tall Black man. You can tell he was a proud Black man. I noticed the Free Mason emblems on his car, a clean Cadillac SUV and his military pins attached to his hat. I noticed, no matter how long either of them took they waited for each other if one got to far, as in to far to reach the other, the one that was furthest waited. It took them a while but they made it. I offered my assistance as much as I could, then held the door for them to go in. I watched them be as respectful as possible to everyone in the small restaurant. Careful not to bump a table or a chair. There was about 4 small tables littered throughout the room but there was absolutely no way for them to get to any of these tables. There was one large enough to accommodate both of them (his wife was a tall woman as well) and their walkers, aside from the one closet to the door that said 5 to 6 ppl. But again the place is packed and under these circumstances you would think they would be good, WRONG. After watching them do all of that they declined to serve them!! Of course this couple was African American and the establishment, patrons and staff included were all white or Russian/ Ukrainian or Polish. After voicing my concerns the waitress replied "it's not me it's the manager". I replied, "I'd like to speak to the manager". Mind you my $50 breakfast was ready, this broad says, "he no here today". WTF!!!!! I was livid but maintained the coolest affect and said , in announcement "I will never spend another dollar in this place due to the treatment of that disabled elderly couple who was just turned away" and I left that shit right there on the counter. I don't care if my one action doesn't make a difference there, I hope ANYONE who sees this doesn't patronize this establishment. In closing ....FUCK THAT!!! read more

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT GET LUNCH THERE! It sucks. I got a club sandwich ,they have different kinds i sadly chose the cheeseburger one. It came with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. The patty tasted like a frozen school lunch burger. The bacon was small and had no flavor, was also oddly chewy? They also have one, ONE ketchup bottle they pass from table to table, its gross. Also had some snobby kid looking in the mirror blowing kisses to himself, i think that was the only good thing happening and only because it distracted me from the ass food they serve. Breakfast is good though :D !! read more

Wide variety of food. I was surprised about that. Their combos are a good choice for someone trying to sample more than one thing. So I got the #9 combo: veggie omelet with cheese, 2 pancakes ($9.59). I also ordered a side of home fries (2.50) so that I could have a good review for yelp The home fries were better than I expected. I looked at them & thought "ugh I'm gonna need to add salt & pepper" but none of that was necessary. They were well seasoned on their own. I just added hot sauce since there was no ketchup on the table. But this is something I do out of habit. The omelet was also very tasty & well seasoned! Veggies tasted fresh. Very filling. The cheese added a nice flavor and wasn't overwhelming. The pancakes were not good. They seriously tasted like freezer brand pancakes heated on the grill. Lucky for them, I love all pancakes and hadn't had any in over a month because of my diet. But I could've done those myself. You expect a diner to at least have amazing pancakes. I didn't order coffee because I'm honestly over diners and their overpriced coffee. But everything else was good. Wouldn't go out of my way to return. BRING CASH! read more

I will be reviewing all their omelets. Today I had the Mediterranean, Cooked perfectly, Tasty! Coffee was decent, oj was store bought and pricy. I will be back. Clean pleasant atmosphere. No complaints, and for the record, I am a certified foodie, I'll try everything. And I give honest, fair assessments.. After 6 visits I'm still impressed and believe they should raise their prices. I've only eaten their breakfasts, but they are consistently fantastic. read more

Blue Star Restaurant - Yumm, Spanish omelet, linguica - Diners Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

My mom and I went here on a Sunday. It was kind of crowded and it's a small establishment, so it felt even more so. However, the food wasn't that great. Actually, the prosciutto, mozz & tomato "panini" I got was bad. The prosciutto looked old and the mozzarella wasn't fresh mozzarella--it was some weird, low-budget kind. When I told the waitress that I wanted it taken off the bill because I was dissatisfied, she told me after she went to go speak with one of her coworkers that she couldn't do that. Bad customer service. So, I ended up not eating the panini. (The side of fresh fruit is quite good, though.) Then my mom asked her if she could speak with the manager when we were done with our food and she went to go see. Then she came back and said, "Actually, the manager isn't here today." Uh, wouldn't she have known that to begin with? And then another waitress came over (she was probably the manager, tbh) and we told her the situation. She was nice and said, "Of course we can do that," meaning they could take my panini off the bill. That's why I'm giving this place two stars instead of one. But still, the fact that it took all that just to please a customer for a reasonable request turned me off immediately. I won't be returning. read more

This is a neighborhood gem! It's a simple diner with great food. I've had breakfast several times and the waitress is always friendly, attentive and nice. I typically have the veggie omelet with seasoned potatoes, so good or I'll have French toast, yum! Doesn't matter what you choose it will be good! read more

Good meal for breakfast, but the service is really, really terrible, specially the girls in the week days. I had bad experience with the server named Esmeralda, who is really nothing professional, no polite, and dirty, most, when she touch money, and continue to server without wash her hands. read more

Blue Star Restaurant is probably one of the best breakfast food spots I've ever dined at. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with the Canadian Bacon, and my partner ordered the Strawberry Apple Pancakes with eggs cooked to order. Everything came out perfectly and was delicious. One of the best Eggs Benedict I've ever had, actually! (Home fries were great as well!) Would recommend! The towns folk are super friendly to Service-members as well! -Airman Manley read more

I'm sad to write this review since Blue Star has been one of my go-to breakfast spots for years. How many restaurants use leeks in their omelets? Blue Star has two - German (ham, leeks, Swiss - my favorite) and Albanian (leeks, meatballs, feta). But COVID-19 safety is a big deal, and Blue Star missed mask compliance mark today, and I won't be going again. There were two other occupied tables in the restaurant...with seniors! I have been to few restaurants post-COVID, but this one is definitely off the list. Of three people I viewed in the kitchen area, none were wearing their masks for the brief time I stayed in the restaurant, and I left as soon as possible. The cook had a mask around his neck the whole time and was chatting it up with a guy with an outdoor jacket on, no mask in sight. Jacket guy kept coming into the dining space to help himself to coffee, and slightly covered his nose with his jacket collar because he could see patrons in the dining area. I don't know if he was staff or kitchen visitor. An older lady had a mask around her neck, and she was coming & going between those guys in the kitchen to restock mugs and glasses in the dining area without mask. The server wore his mask the entire time, but when I said that no one in back was wearing a mask, he said "Thank you". I repeated because I wasn't sure if he'd heard me correctly, and he repeated "Thank you". read more

Good quick service with very little wait on a rainy Sunday morning! Menu is pretty basic except for the pancake and French toast options which are excellent. Got the banana coconut pancakes which were delicious. My only reason for star off is the coffee was pretty mediocre and they did not come around for refills. read more

Great breakfast place. Very nice and clean. Stuff is friendly. #1 in my list for a breakfast place. Highly recommend. And the prices are amazing. The down side you only cash but there bank of America right next to that place so make it easier. read more

My wife and I came in for post-farmers market lunch. This was just an awful experience. First the food.. I had the chicken cutlet sandwich. Mechanically separated chicken patty with warm soggy lettuce... My wife's spanakopita looked like it was out of a freezer and only half reheated; her sides were even more pitiful. The fries were the only acceptable food we were offered. The service.. Our waitress disappeared after our food showed up. I spent about 20 minutes trying to get her to refill my water. By the time she came over, my wife was out of water as well. However, our waitress ignored the fact that there were two empty glasses, refilled mine, and simply walked away. Will not be coming back, 'nuff said. read more

Love the friendly owner and staff! Great good! Good prices! Street parking,lot parking! Quick service! Great neighborhood restaurant!

Blue Star Restaurant is a savior for one who dines on a budget. The service is friendly and their food is pretty good too. They have some of the cheapest egg dishes. One egg (plus homefries and toast) will cost you $3.50 plus tax. Their omelets are about $8. My favorite breakfast is their cinnamon french toast ($5.50). My boyfriend orders their Greek omelet almost every time and loves it. Their portions are a decent size - especially their pancakes which come in several different flavors including sweet potato. They have several Greek dishes on their lunch menu - the spinach pie plate is delicious as is the grape leaves dish. I believe most of their lunches are between 7 and 9 dollars. Keep in mind that it's cash only and you may want to skip their coffee ($2.50), it tends to be on the weak side. They do serve a nice strong cup of hot chocolate! read more

I have gone here for years, during it's phase with the basic Formica counter, to the latest renovation , which is nice. But nothing beats sitting at a Formica counter with the Globe, Coffee, and some little old guy trying to flirt. Here to be had is a good basic breakfast; fresh hot eggs, lovely home fries and good strong coffee. There is a nice mix of Rosi here, from elders speaking to each other in Greek to young couple with Toddlers and single people. Service is warm and friendly. I haven't had the lunch yet, but I am anxious to try it. read more

Good food. Sad to say, horrible service. I am normally tolerant of slow service when the place is busy..but....there were people who came after us, who were seated and left before we got our meals. During that 55 minutes we were not offered coffee refills. The food was good. Only after we were completely done, were we asked how the meal was. By that time, the place was half empty. My advice would be to only go on a weekday.....hopefully they are better then. read more

A simple and cheap diner that hits the spot. I've had both breakfast and lunch here (I'm pretty sure they're open from like 5am to 3pm, so no dinner). The gyro I had for lunch was good. There really is a good cross-section of people in here, some just having coffee, some having sandwiches or burgers and others having breakfast. This place is cash only, so do plan accordingly. read more

My 7 year old and I go to Blue Star for lunch about once a month. She loves the greek-style chicken noodle soup and the fries - and to people-watch through the big bay windows. Healthy portions of hearty no-nonsense Greek-American food for very reasonable prices. Friendly service and always filled with a wide cross-section of our Rosi neighborhood. The owners recently renovated the place and it's looking very nice and shiny these days (although I wish that with so many young familes coming in they wouldn't leave the TV over the counter on CNN/FoxNews all day). Over all, it's a very dependable and pleasant place for a sit-down breakfast or lunch when you're shopping or just hanging out in the village. read more

Comfortable breakfast joint. I've been going here for yeeeaaaahhss and the food always comes out quick. My personal favorites have been; -breakfast special #8 -coconut banana pancakes -fresh fruit plate -breakfast burrito -Greek burrito -turkey club -I'll write the whole friggin menu Great service too!!! I'd give it a 5th star if they weren't a cash only place. I know it seems harsh that I dock them a whole star but that just me. read more
