Huge Price Hikes, Shrinking Portions, and Missing Ingredients--Unacceptable Value! I have been a loyal customer of this diner for many years and have lost count of how many times I have eaten there in person or ordered delivery to my home and office. I also recommended this place to many friends and relatives, who then introduced it to others. In the past, the portions were exceptionally generous, the food was flavorful and high-quality, the service was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. Unfortunately, my recent delivery experiences have been drastically different. The Mediterranean Beeftiki used to be one of my favorite dishes. Previously it arrived as a very large portion, easily enough for at least 2 people, with 2 substantial, perfectly seasoned beef patties filled with generous cubes of flavorful Greek feta cheese and large pieces of fresh tomato. The tzatziki was included, and the dish was incredibly delicious and definitely felt worth ordering. This time, the $20.95 dish consisted mostly of generic, mediocre quality French fries and 2 small hamburger-sized patties. There was barely any feta cheese and almost no noticeable tomato. The portion was dramatically smaller than it used to be and was barely enough for 1 person. I also paid an additional $7 for extra tzatziki. The photo shows exactly how it arrived: in a small disposable cup filled only slightly over halfway. More importantly, the regular portion of tzatziki listed as part of the dish was not included at all. Had I not paid for the extra cup, the meal would have arrived without tzatziki. The food arrived warm, the pita was fresh, and the delivery person handled the order properly. However, the sharp decline in portion size, ingredients, and overall value is extremely disappointing! I completely understand that price increases happen across the board. What is impossible to accept is raising prices while simultaneously slashing portion sizes by up to 90% and cutting back on essential ingredients. Paying significantly more for a fraction of what was once provided leaves customers feeling completely ripped off. By running a business this way, the management is not just losing me--they are losing the massive network of people I personally brought to this restaurant, who in turn brought their own inner circles. Continuing down this path means losing hundreds of loyal customers over time. There are too many exceptional, authentic Greek and neighborhood establishments nearby that still respect their clientele by offering generous portions, top quality, excellent service, and fair value for hard-earned money. Something for management to think about. read more

A great place for breakfast or lunch. My wife loves their French toast, and has long considered it the very best of the neighborhood. I had their chocolate chip pancakes and they are out of this world, far better than at IHOP. They have always made really good burgers and various sandwiches. Their prices for breakfast are very good. read more

Easy, no frills diner right near the Ave U subway station. Food is decent, but the portions are small considering an $18 meal. The juice cup you get is an outrageous disappointment. A tiny cup of juice is an insult to the special. The only reason it is a three star review and not a two star review is because the food was delivered quickly and it all tasted very fresh. I know diners are few and far between in Brooklyn, but this diner needs to try a little bit harder, and the result would be better. Instead, it settles for mediocrity. read more

Restaurant was great under new mgmt ,the Del Priore Sisters were a great floor show,along with one of the Carol Burnett 2.0 performer ! BTW great food ! PS Watch for Alexa Sharon Engerson a short stocky customer who has bad body odor she fumes up the place with a disgusting foul odor! Oh,she overeats food there, gives no tips,and leaves used tissues on the table. The poor waiters and waitress,Yolanda get no tips from this con artist Alexa who lives around the corner. She orders soup to nuts and no tips!The staff gets annoyed while she sits there fir hours. Other than that the staff is nice ! I feel sorry for them she funks the diner up. Be careful,she likes to ask other customers for money to pay for her food. 1.00 ,50 cents. This screwy nutball swindles ppl out of their fix3d incomes so she can overeat at Three Star Other than that nice ppl do go there. Love the cheesecake & steak ! read more

My friend and I decided to meet up for dinner at 3 Star. Not too many people at this wonderful diner on a Wednesday night. Even though she didn't arrive yet, I got seated right away. We ended up ordering light meals because we were not as hungry as usual. The eggs benedict was so delicious and the blueberry cheesecake was amazing!! She really enjoyed her wrap, too. We'll be back for more!! read more

Food quality was less than average. The filet of sole did not taste fresh (I should have known better than to order fish on Sunday from a diner- my fault). The green beans accompanying the fish were completely mushy. The burger deluxe was typical diner fare - not great but not terrible. I haven't been to this spot in many years but figured I would try it again by ordering through Postmates as it's a snowy night. Highly unlikely that I will order from here again. read more

Order from here for delivery and pick up. The food is great and whenever there's a Grubhub issue they correct promptly. Always a good vibe:

One of the remaining good diners in my neighborhood. Friendly staff, handle their food efficiently. Food is your typical diner fare but done properly. My go to breakfast mea The place is clean and inviting although parking is limited. read more

Service went above and beyond!!!! Food was delicious!!!) Enjoyed it will return!!! Thank you. We asked for mayonnaise and the guy cut the top off for us. Such class read more

food smells fresh, tastes amazing but there's not a lot of people coming in witch dose question me but top of all that this nice waiter Yolanda she's so sweet and kind will most definitely recommend this service if your in the area looong for good American food restaurants read more

Food was good and staff are kind. Great for the basics like omelettes, sandwiches, etc.

Diners are pretty much the same. Until one isn't. I stopped in for dinner the other day. The portions are huge (I took half of my panini at home), the service is good and the prices are expected. My only issue is that the menu is a little too much. It was a little overwhelming given the amount of dishes to choose from. Do I recommend it? Yes. read more

This diner was AMAZING! Everything from our greeting at the front desk to the time we left was pleasant, efficient and delicious! Our breakfast was great, service was so professional and kind. Definitely can't wait to try out more of the menu during the next visit. read more

I heard the New 3 Stars Restaurant opening this week and decided to try it out. The restaurant took half of the old 3 stars restaurant. The menu in the front still say 3 stars restaurant but it doesn't have that much from before. The decor looks like the same from the old restaurant. The foods price was a little pricy. We usually order baked clam from the old restaurant but this time we didn't since only get 3. We just order our meal. I order beer and reef which has skirt steak, salmon and baked mushroom with clams. The salmon taste a little dry even with the lemon flavor. The stuffed mushroom with clams was ok. The skirt steak. One was medium rear but the other seems burn on the outside. If I go back there I will try something different. They don't have a liquor license so no wine yet. The place seems hot with so many people. read more

Service was great, food okay. The big screen TV was playing Newsmax. Really??? You employ immigrants, and I think that is a slap in the face to them. Plus you're in a diverse neighborhood that is primarily Asian. Another slap. Actions matter. Do better... read more

I was refused the original receipt upon purchase of foods . I was given a copy of the receipt by who I assume is the manager , a European complexion guy . Mirrors are all over the place , giving a cheap , unpleasant atmosphere with cameras popping out , showing you're always being recorded . This place is not worth your time , except if you order small to- go items . And even then , it's 20% overpriced . 8.35 for a half full container of broccoli and some garlic . At least they have news papers , for sale for $2 , near the entente . That's a nice , innovative , feature . read more

I don't know where to begin. Let' me start by saying the restaurant was very clean looking as far as tables and floor . However the service was terrible . A woman server came to the table and was rushing the order . I didn't have enough time to decide . When o made my order o asked for a burger with lettuce no bread . It was a production for her to understand what that was. I asked may I have a side salad with my order I will pay a little extra other diners have that option she didn't understand. The water glad was dirty . She didn't bring out my lemon Ice wasn't even an option . My pickle was forgotten about . I could not even find her to ask about it. The burger I ordered was a mushroom burger it was over priced it didn't even have flavor and took a long time coming out. I have been going to diners my entire life this experience was terrible. read more

Excellent, quality food. All elements of the main courses were fresh, containing quality ingredients. The meat was of high quality; the coffee was strong and dark -- as NYC coffee is always supposed to be -- and freshly brewed, served in a classic coffee mug on top of a saucer. The onion rings were fresh (something often hard to find); the cheese was fresh and well-melted; the French fries were cooked well and tasted nice. The pickles were fresh; the tomatoes were fresh; and the lettuce were fresh. (Two minor notes: The coleslaw could have used less mayonnaise. Perhaps extra mayonnaise was meant to be a substitute for the taste of freshness? And, second, the chickpeas were just fair.) Our waiter was pleasant and very helpful. The busboy was also attentive. I can only speak to the ambiance on what was a very quiet night: it was peaceful and we could eat in quiet -- not something that comes around often in Brooklyn. read more

So glad they reopened. One of my favorite local diners. I have been here several times for breakfast. Service always excellent. Friendly wait staff. Prices are reasonable and somewhat cheaper than the competition. My breakfasts here are consistently delicious. Parking in the area can sometimes be difficult, but the restaurant itself is a gem. I highly recommend. read more

Ate here with family about a month ago and again last night ( 07/22/2023). we used to go there thirty-five years ago. The restaurant was closed for quite a while, but reopened recently. The portions of the offerings are HUGE. Twice I ordered the shrimp and chicken francese over linguine and really, really liked it. The chocolate layer cake is delicious. The wait staff puts up with all kinds of requests, like, " separate checks." The assistants who bus tables and create take home ccontainers for left-overs are very efficient. Last night, I believe I saw and spoke to one of the owners. Friendly. I just hope that they can stay in business, being as generous as they are. I think that Yelp has this restaurant as being in Sheepshead Bay. Avenue U, not far from the Q train stop is not Sheepshead Bay. read more

I am writing because there was a wire or a piece of steel wool in my chocolate pudding with whipped cream today when I went there for lunch. It was smooth and absolutely delicious until I felt something in my mouth that definitely wasn't chocolate pudding or whipped cream. I took a picture of the chocolate pudding with the wire next to it. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't find the manager. I spoke to someone else who didn't seem to want to find the manager for me. He apologized and that was that. I complained elsewhere and was told that since I didn't persist there was nothing they would do about it. So much for my being honest. Other than that the food is very good. The waiters and waitresses are very nice and friendly. read more

What a fantastic little restaurant!! They've got a menu the size of a bible, so pretty much any diner food you can think of is available for the 20-25 dollars range. The service made me feel like I was getting spoiled by an aunt who just found out I hadn't eaten. Portions were HUGE, at least for mine, I only had half and was excited to have the rest for leftovers. The inside is spacious and pleasant, perfect for family dinner. I'll be back here for sure - If you're around avenue U give it a chance, it's little and easy to miss but a really nice place to grab dinner! read more

Food is delicious and prices are reasonable this is a place well established in the neighborhood and there always glad you came

Highly recommended by my friend who has been there often. The service was absolutely excellent and the dinner options are a great value as they include soup& salad, entree with 2 sides, dessert and beverage. But I made a missteak (sic) Everything we ordered was fine but the strip steak made me long for Tads! It wasn't properly seasoned and was loaded with fat and gristle. Will go back but will stick to other dishes read more

Burnt steak. Food and soup were just warm. Taste was bad. Too expensive. Charge for plain hot water.

So I see why this place is called Three Stars. I saw all these great reviews on FB and Google and decided to give it a try.... I definitely think they're having their friends and family post these reviews. What we were served was not worth the one star I gave. The chicken in my panini was so dry. My friends burger was overcooked and tasteless. Oasis and Perrys are much better in my opinion. Google and FB really did a good job fooling us into going but we won't bother going back a second time. read more
