    I've been wanting to try this place for months, and I'm happy I finally went with a friend. We each ordered similar dishes, one being chicken and one pork. I was really happy with the plate that was provided, especially the tzsaski sauce. Food is served on styrofoam plates with plastic utensils. You order at the front of the restaurant (no sit-down service), and drinks are self-serve. Beer is also available for purchase. The inside was unique and quaint, and quite frankly, I'm surprised there weren't more people there. Will probably be going back.

    Chicken Kabob Platter with Salad
    Charlie B.

    I enjoyed the hummus and chicken kabob platter I had on my last visit. The place had a kind of old school / casual dive bar feel (because they do have a dive-ish bar inside) and I dig that. I think I will probably hang out here again soon. They have a large menu of Greek specialties. I will probably try their Gyro on my next visit... I had a salad on the side which tasted fresh and the pita served with my hummus was served warm. Pretty Nice! One small caveat - they do close kind of early. on weekdays I came in at 8:09 on a Tuesday and the fellow at the counter said, ¨We close at 8:30 tonight" (the front door sign says 8:45 - which is still sort of a strange closing time - on a weekday near a college (?) ECU - East Carolina University...). So, I scarfed down my food (quite tasty) and left by 8:32. I counted four other tables still eating when I left - so I don´t think I was an imposition. I will say - if this place was open til 10:00 on weekdays I would be there very often. I will be back. I liked the food and I also like the ¨dated¨ style of the interior.

    Athenian grilled cheese, takeout

    Decided to give this place a go on my lunch break to support local. I got the chicken kabob sandwich and Athenian grilled cheese. Both were very good. I'd get either or both again, though you'd likely need 2 items as I did to satisfy the appetite of an active adult. I did wait almost 45 minutes for my order. I understand being busy at lunch but that seemed unnecessary. Sanitation score was also below what I'm normally comfortable with. Surely it'll be back up soon...

    Lots of vegetarian options and great service! The spanakopita was delicious and the falafel was some of the best I've had!

    The food is amazing! You have to try the steak & cheese sandwich. I have been dining here since I was a teen.

    We got takeout from here last night, we ordered a big family meal so my husband could take it to…read morework the next few days. We got the pulled pork and chopped brisket, cornbread, mac n cheese, baked beans and a bottle of sauce (included). We felt the value for amount of food was great, and I loved that they included smaller containers of most, if not all, of their sauces so we could try them! The corn bread was great, a couple pieces were pretty dark but still warm and fresh. The baked beans, for me, was a highlight! They were so good, whatever sauce they're cooked in was SO good, I ended up dipping my pulled pork/ brisket into that instead of the sauces!! So good!!! Our kids liked the Mac n cheese, we thought it was pretty good too! Loved that the pulled pork came with no sauce, made it super easy to portion it out for my husband and keep it fresh. Thee brisket came sauced, but the flavor was really good so we were fine with that! Overall, we'd definitely do this once in a while. It was about $90 total for the family meal, which is a little steep for a regular family meal. But flavor was great, everything was fresh, and we very much enjoyed it and will have leftovers for days!!

    I'm visiting Greenville with my fiancé and he said we needed to come here for the brisket. We share…read morethe brisket plate with mac and cheese and I had to try all the sauces. They make them all in house. I've never added vinegar to my meat before and I'm hooked. They have this Alabama white sauce that you have to ask for and that was done so well. All the sauces were tasty. I tried their sweet tea and I'm very particular about sweetness with drinks but I thoroughly enjoyed the balance in their tea. The seasonal treat is strawberry shortcake so I ordered that and there was so much balance in their flavor. I'm partial to strawberry shortcake because it was what I often shared with my late Grandpa. I was so impressed with how good this was and it definitely added nostalgia to the experience. The service here was phenomenal and the place has so much memorabilia honoring service members. Very open and welcoming space. Lots to take in, but not overwhelming. I'm definitely glad we stopped in. 10/10 recommend if you're in the area.

    I'm honestly surprised that Starlight Cafe still operates the way it does. The menu has been the…read moresame for years -- and not in a "classic staples" kind of way. It just feels stagnant and uninspired. Nothing new, nothing seasonal, nothing exciting. If you've been once, you've basically seen it all. The food itself was bland and boring. Dishes lacked seasoning and creativity, and nothing stood out as memorable. For the prices they charge, you expect at least some depth of flavor, but everything felt flat. Service was also slow, even though it wasn't especially busy. We waited far too long for basic things, and the staff didn't seem particularly attentive or professional. There was a noticeable lack of urgency and overall polish. Overall, it feels like a place that hasn't evolved in years -- same menu, same energy, same issues. Unfortunately, it just doesn't live up to expectations.

We ended our amazing dinner sharing an incredible white chocolate bread pudding. The place is kitschy & cool, taking full advantage of a busy storefront display. The service was perfect, not too invasive or pushy, just the right amount of southern hospitality and menu knowledge (we got the steak sauce on the side and the amazing dessert as suggested!). We look forward to returning.
