Everything was cooked perfectly. As you can see it was huge! A true homemade hand breaded CFS. Coffee was good...no complaints on anything! Service was so fast and pleasant. Ambiance is just a great breakfast feel. Can't recommend enough! read more

A observation: 1. Everything we ordered, the waitress would provide us options and coincidentally all of her "options" were upcharges. my bill was $10 higher than I expected. very deceptive. it was intentional 2. it was uncomfortably cold 69 degrees with a celinig fan on high right over our heads. 3. server kept disappearing on us read more

Very good restaurant, I got the 3 egg omelette, I believe it's called the bacado. It was awesome, I love a good breakfast spot. Everything tasted great, service was good. With a morning coffee, I was all set. Great experience! read more

Family atmosphere. They care. Excellent food. Conveniently located on Preston Road in Celina.

Great cafe with fabulous food. I have had chicken fried steak, it is the best I have had since moving to Texas! My hubby had the meat lovers omelet and my daughter had the brioche French toast. The restaurant is inviting and the service was great. read more

This was a good little local breakfast place. We didn't order anything outside of the ordinary which was OMG wowed but all the food was VERY solid in taste, seasoning and temperature. The staff was very friendly and great with service. The only reason I kept one star was it smelled a little musty/stuffy inside. I don't want to smell any smells other than delicious food while dining out. I'll definitely visit again and update if the musty smell is gone! read more

Stopped in for lunch. Hubby had a meatlovers omelet, he rated it a 5. Daughter had a corned beef skillet and rated it a 4. Unfortunately I tried the chicken salad croissant. Besides chicken, it was supposed to have apples, cranberries, raisins, and celery. I couldn't find or taste any apples, cranberries, or celery. Worse, the sandwich was dripping mayonnaise, that is all I could taste. The serverer was very upbeat and friendly. The atmosphere was typical cafe. read more

What a delicious breakfast we had this morning. Our server "Deja" was very welcoming and friendly. This gal was on top of her job! She was really a joy to interact with. Took our order and our dishes were PERFECTION! The owners came around and asked about our meal and filled up our coffee cups. DEJA stopped by to check on us and to make sure everything was to our liking. Comments to the staff here! EVERYONE was working as a TEAM! All your servers were smiling and very friendly to all the customers. We had the delicious coffee, oatmeal with blueberries, vegetable omelet with hashbrowns and toast. The omelet was PERFECTION! We'll be back. read more

I think it's called the scrambler ?? Or the rattler?? It's yummy!! It's rich in flavor, sizeable portion, no disappoint here!! read more

Celina Star Cafe - Country Bowl Skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Celina, Texas

Terrific food, excellent service, and smiles from the whole staff. Consider me a new regular.

This place is a neighborhood restaurant with delicious food and friendly service. They have good coffee and their soup is the best. I usually go for the French toast and sausage plate, never disappoint! I love the staff here they are wonderful specially Val, she is quick and great with her recommendations. For lunch the chicken sandwich is awesome! read more

Food , service was great ! Definitely will be back ! Good old country home cooked food for us and grandkids !

Worst experience I've ever had. 6 of us were sat at a booth for 2-3 people and got the more rude response "what do you expect me to do" when being asked to move somewhere else. Then did not receive service for 15 minutes. And to top it off I ordered my CHILD chicken fingers - which came out completely raw. I went to the front and showed the "owner" and she said she would fire the cook and laughed. She went to say he's messed up all day and that I wouldn't be charged for the chicken fingers ?!? Horribly rude and absurd. No comment on how my child ate their raw chicken. read more

The food I ordered was not very tasty. The best I could say is extremely mediocre. Service was okay. I will put this place in the no return list. read more

I started coming about 3 months ago and have been back 6 times since. The food is absolutely delicious and consistent. The service is great every single time. Highly recommend! read more

Hi, good people. Happy Saturday... again, as every day is Saturday. Today is Saturday #1. How do I start? A quick jaunt up to Celina. Got the hungries so pop open Yelp to see where you would eat. You lead me to the star of Celina, the Celina Star Cafe. Enter the door, and the spot is hopping. Super small town, but everyone is here. This is the brunch spot. Nice, trendy, warm feel to it. The crowd is a mix of every generation. Fully staffed. Sat quickly, drink order taken almost immediately. So far, running on all cylinders. Meal came out within 10 minutes of oyr ordering. I meant to take pics, but it was so appealing, I ate. I ordered hash browns crispy, with crispy onions. For once in my brunch or breakfast experience, the onions were deep friend brown, caramelized perfection. It was as if they looked into my brain, saw what I meant, duplicated it. Okay so the food was perfect. Service is another story. It wasn't perfect. Go up a level from perfect. It was familial. Like you are a close relative. They almost have everyone on the floor check on every table in the building. They rove and check on you so you don't feel the need to need. 6 star spot. I hope your weekend goes as well as this meal. read more

we did takeout, the food was amazing best breakfast quesadilla and burrito ive ever had.

this is my favorite spot to go every Sunday. The staff is amazing and the food is great as well. One of my favorite atmospheres in Celina and just feels like small town community in restaurant-form. read more

Great food and great service. Whole family got breakfast and it was fantastic. Great value for the size of the plates. Will be back when in the Celina area! read more

The food was okay, nothing memorable. The service felt rushed....I'm not a fan of restaurants that bring the check while we're still eating -- it gives the impression that they're eager for us to leave rather than allowing us to enjoy our meal at our own pace. read more

"This is the first Texas pancake I've had that was worthwhile." - The Husband, 5/30/22 This was a delight to find. Tasty. Light. Everything was consistent; nothing was heavy or over-salted. Fair warning that the "thee egg omelette" is more like six! They had Lavazza coffee, which is very pleasant. It's clean (thank you for wiping the seats!), some of the employees were masked and nobody minded that we were, and the staff was really helpful and friendly. We've definitely found a new breakfast spot. read more

Celina Star Cafe - the logo on the wall - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Celina, Texas

We have been here a number of times over the past 2 years but today's experience left us not planning on returning. Prices have gone way up and quality/taste has gone down. Bill for 2 adults & 2 children $92 before tip! Additionally an automatic "non cash adjustment" was added without making us aware of it! Eggs were over cooked and we never got one of the orders of pancakes. Extremely disappointed as this was a top destination for us in the past. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch on a Saturday and there was no wait. Pictures of the hamburgers looked good so we tried the bacon cheeseburger. It was...OK. Cooked fine and bun was fresh but not much seasoning and meat was really dense and almost dry. The fries were really good. Our Cokes were "off" and our server (Aneysia - who did a great job) noticed we were tasting them and came over to say the Coke machine needed fixing and the CO2 was off. I thought they wouldn't charge us for the sodas we barely drank but nope...charged $5.98 for two drinks. I'm sure we could've requested it to be removed but I always like to see how a business responds in these known situations We'll give them another try for breakfast as it does get good reviews overall. read more

I'm not sure how this Cafe has such low reviews!? Every time we go here we absolutely love everything. And the service is always perfect and everyone is so friendly. Give it a go! read more

Outstanding old school diner with classic greasy spoon breakfast vibes. Great service from friendly people, and the prices are reasonable. We'll definitely be back. read more

Delish brekke spot in Celina! I heard they get super busy on Sundays after church but my first visit was mid week and we had no wait for a table. My brother and his wife dined in twice, I joined them once. Service was fast, friendly, and attentive. I ordered the french toast, which was yummy. I also tried the turkey sausage. My sister in law had the oatmeal the morning we came together and my brother had some sort of savory dish - I'm not sure I even paid attention to what it was but we all enjoyed our meal. Great spot to grab brekke, we'll surely be repeat customers :) read more

Food was AMAZING!!! The Chicken Carnitas skillet is so flavorful and a huge portion too. I'm so happy we decided to come here. Our server Courtney was so sweet and gave us the greatest tips when ordering and helped us out a lot with our random questions!!! We will definitely be back, the vibe is awesome. read more

Classic diner food. Service is always great. A staple in the Celina community. 10/10 recommend giving it a try.

Love this place. Great food. Breakfast burrito is my go to. Enough food to eat half and take the other half home.

Let me start by saying staff were very friendly and the service was great. I ordered the All American Breakfast for $16.99 and it came with 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 bacon strips, and 2 sausages. The pancakes tasted like the batter they use at hotels for their continental breakfast waffles- same thing with the syrup- the whole plate was just disappointing. I would come back and try the omelets or something else but the All American wasn't worth the price for the quality of food. read more

This is the hands-down best breakfast food in Celina and maybe all of DFW! I'm a sucker for a big BACADO omelette, but when you pair it up with sausage biscuits and gravy you are in heaven. My kids always go for the pancakes and my wife the big-breakfast. Affordable and you feel like you are alerting at your grandma's house. Warm, comforting environment and the service is very attentive. read more

Celina Star is the best breakfast ever! Breakfast Burrito is my absolute favorite. Would visit every weekend, but moved farther away, but still make the trip every once in a while as its that good. Staff is wonderful and very friendly! read more

Very very clean , wonderful staff. The food was great. Perfect small town cafe' . We live about 30 mins away but will continue to return. The food had great flavor. Great service. read more

Celina Star Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Celina, Texas

Solid breakfast location in Celina. My family has made this their only breakfast place since we moved here because it's consistent and dependable for food and service. I like to call ahead to see how busy they are. Sometimes you can get in and sat immediately even on a weekend morning--other times you'll have to wait it out like every where else. My kids love the Mickey Mouse pancakes and their hot chocolate. I like the chilaquiles or an omelet. It's an easy win for our family. read more

The food was phenomenal. The service was great. Family business and well run. Fantastic okra. Great chicken fried everything.

What a great place. Same owner as the restaurant in Frisco called Frisco Star Cafe. Great food, good quality materials and the prices are VERY good. Very friendly service and my wife and I were checked on more than a few times to make sure that we were happy and did not need anything. Go for the omelettes! PS They serve good coffee... Lavazza from Italy! :) read more

Went there for breakfast after hearing great reviews. The food was decent basically everything you would expect from a breakfast/brunch, place. The service was good, until we disclosed that we had a 10% discount that had been published on Yelp. Once that was disclosed, a 20% automatic gratuity was slapped on our bill and the tone changed. No disrespect, but I've been in the service industry and I tip well...until you slap a standard gratuity on a 6 top. For that alone, I'll never be back again. read more

This is an ok brunch establishment. The skillets are good and so is the staff. The prices have gotten to high for the food. The sausage is premade and the food quality doesn't warrant the high prices. I understand they are paying more for food, and I certainly understand the margins are low, my complaint would be the price doesn't match the quality. If you're in the area it's worth looking into, the staff is super friendly and helpful, my only complaint is price versus quality. read more

Food is delicious, coffee is excellent, and the wait staff is amazing! It's a real small town, cozy hideout!
