Seems like all the negative reviews are mostly regarding delivery screw-ups. I can't speak on delivery, but I can comment on eating in. A friend recommended this spot, and she did not steer me wrong. The service was great. The staff is super attentive and friendly. And the food was GOOD! Everything was fresh. Although all I had was the Chicken Ceasar Salad, the chicken was delish. Well cooked and seasoned. I would definitely go again and try some of their other goodies. This place is always crowded, so that says a lot. read more

I really like this cafe. I order the mozz sticks & wraps. I also like their breakfast. It's near the bus and they also have delivery. Good is always great no complaints read more

Smoothies here are pretty consistent , bagel was burnt and eggs we over cooked but they were willing to recook the meal , not to bad people look happy to be working there read more

North Star Cafe - Outside of North Star - Diners Near Me - Bronx, New York

I ordered for lunch a steak and onion quesadilla. It came with guacamole, salsa and sour cream. My friend usually orders the grilled cheese and said it was good so i decided to give them a chance. The food arrived warm and well packaged. The quesadilla was good. I would probably order again. The prices are under $8 with NO sides fries or nachos so it was a good price and it brought four pieces so it was very filling. My friend also had tried the spinach chicken quesadilla and she said it was good as well. The delivery was fast they have a lot of options to choose from salads, wraps , quesadillas, burgers and more I would definitely check them out if you're looking for American affordable food in the Bronx read more

Good food. Quick and friendly service. Definitely a community staple. A lot of different options to choose from.

We usually order Sunday breakfast here and we pick it up, however today we stopped in for lunch and this place was packed. When we first arrived there were no tables available so we sat at the very busy counter which would have been cool, but you can't eat at the counter in peace. The line cooks and waitresses have several phone orders and deliveries lined up on the counter for the delivery man to pick up. The counter was crowded and bags moved by us furiously. When we sat at the counter we had to almost yell to one another over the cooks and waitresses yelling phone orders back and forth to one another and pushing bags by us like some sort of assembly line. As soon as a table was available at the chance to get away from the bustle and bustle of delivery order, I ordered a tuna wrap, avocado salad, and fries. We also had a beet juice freshly made from the juice bar. There is a wide variety of freshly made juices available, carrot, beets, ginger.....The waitress was kind, but extremely busy. She took our order, bought us our food, then dropped off the check. She was nice but never stopped to say "do you need anything else. " I enjoyed my food, the tuna was thick with fresh crunchy red peppers and celery, however I will never visit again during lunch hour it was just too much going on. I will stick with picking up our food. read more

I love northstar , the good is great and the staff is excellent. Affordable food and fast service

This place rocks. Super sweet people. Generous portions. Great price. And bathroom was relatively clean! But above all the people were super attentive and kind. Food was great. Their attention to detail surprised me. Fast service. Would 10/10 recommend for quick breakfast even with a family of four. read more

Salad is great! The price is right! Delivery could be a bit faster but we are over all happy ordering from them!

So check it...just because a place is in the hood, doesn't mean it's bad. It can actually be pretty damned good....case in point, North Star Cafe. First off, the place is suuuuuper busy. That, is OBVIOUSLY a good thing. I sat at the counter and ordered up a chicken/ broccoli quesadilla. 5 minutes later, it arrived and another 5 minutes later, it was in my stomach. Slammmin'! They also have a salad bar (you know, like delis in the City?) and smoothie station, which everyone seemed to be crowded around ordering up. Like I said, don't judge a book by it's cover. This place deserves respect. Word up. read more

Quality has gone downhill the last couple of months. Myself and many of my coworkers used to order the food religiously as we work nearby. Ordered the same salad with crispy chicken and until recently, the chicken was great. Not sure what happened but it's inedible now. Forget about customer service, they have none. Ordered my usual to be delivered at a certain time during my lunch break and no one showed. Mind you I always order hours prior and schedule the delivery at a set time. Upon calling the restaurant, I got hung up the first couple of times and when I finally got in contact with someone they proceeded to tell me that it was on its way. Once again never showed. Called again and then they tell me they never received my order. Bottom line is that I was left without lunch. Horrible! read more

I always order and tell them make the bacon crispy but it is never crispy. Home fries are always at least a couple days old and they are rewarming it people deserve better for their money. Sad read more

I asked for cheese fries and this is what I received!!!!! I'm terribly upset I spent almost $20 on my food for me to receive this bullshit respectfully they just gotta do better. read more

The food is good, but if you don't speak Spanish then the service sucks. I came in today to order a cheeseburger deluxe. I waited patiently for the cashier or the person behind the counter to ask me for my order. Two ladies come in the place a few minutes behind me speaking Spanish and both are greeted by the cashier and host. Now when I inform them I been waiting to place an order, they look at me like I'm crazy. If I wasn't so hungry and lazy to cook, I would of left. But don't worry I'll think twice before I come back or bring a person with me that speak Spanish read more

Burger was not hand made as states on Menu which was very misleading, It was a frozen patty burger. French fries were not crispy as requested . The only reason I gave a 2 star was for the Lemonade. And all this was pretty pricey at $13.00. I would not order from here again especially after waiting nearly an hour. read more

Darn good. They deliver, which always helps and usually your order will arrive within 20 minutes of placing it over the phone--at least in my case. I love their quesadillas, pretty much anything from the breakfast menu and the fruit smoothies are consistently great. They also customize to pretty much any whim you may have. Only four stars because sometimes they've forgotten that little something which was specified but I still order from them on a regular basis. Also, the establishment itself is very clean. read more

Really good food. Really reasonable prices for the amount of food you get with each order. Staff is friendly and place is usually busy. Wraps and triple deckers are a great lunch. Sitting areas available but limited as space is small. They take to go orders and deliver. Delivery was great when I worked at a nearby school. read more

This is the second time in less then a week that I've placed an order online and been given a delivery time of about 35 minutes. only to wait over an hour and a half and STILL NO FOOD DELIVERED. I ordered breakfast. omelette and a bagel at 10:20. It's now 11:45 and still NOTHING. I'm really looking forward to my I'm sure cold eggs and bagel being delivered at some point this afternoon. I am about 1 minute away from canceling a second order. read more

Well, I guess I spoke too soon. I don't know who they put in the kitchen today, but he or she should not be cooking. I ordered scrambled eggs with bacon, homefries, and toast. My order came almost an hour later, minus the toast. When I called them to tell them my toast was missing, they said they woud send it right away. My "toast" arrived 20 minutes later. My toast consisted of cold bread with half melted margarine. The rest of the meal was no better than the "toast". The eggs were overcooked and brown on one side. The homefries were unseasoned, with huge chunks of nearly raw peppers and onions. The pototoes themselves were barely cooked. The bacon cooked fine, but on the cold side. This meal was $7 by the way. I really should have just cooked something in my home. North Star just lost a customer. read more

We order from work and I've had nothing but good experiences. The delivery is fast and they have never messed up an order. The salad bar is great you get to choose from a variety of add-ins and dressings and it's only 7 bucks. Wraps and paninis are good too. read more

Customer service sucks. I called to place an order for delivery, when I asked the guy on the phone for the price he told me to hang on and hung up on me. When the food arrived, delivery person called me to say he was downstairs instead of coming up. When I got my order I was missing two items, so I called back and told the same person who I originally spoke to I'm missing somethings, he tells me again to hold on, and hangs up on me. And of course I couldn't get through because the phone was busy. The food was not all that great to tolerate the bad customer service. I'll stay away from now on. read more

Placed an order to be delivered and received chocolate mouse cake with mold on it. Never again.

Your food is really good but why do your delivery guy think it's ever okay to hang someone's food on their door knob and leave instead of waiting for me to come out and hand it to me read more

This place is pretty bomb and speedy! The food is delicious and the workers are very kind.

Pretty good diner. The rib eye steak is good. Chicken ceaser salada are good as well.. they also have build ur own salad bar and fruit smoothie station. read more

Good for breakfast. Try and avoid the morning rush as orders do get mixed up. Prices are good and the food is tasty.

Best Diner on E Tremont hands down! Food on point, delivery timing on point. Very good customer service also & hospitality. I would definitely recommend this spot to whoever lives in the area. I personally love the fresh squeezed orange juice. Best I ever had. It's pretty much an overall good place to get all three of your daily meals. read more

It seems like your average typical wanna be cafe, the food doesn't seem like it's fresh or great I have been here multiple times and have stopped going because the food is so bland. When I order home fries and bacon....the bacon is so hard it just crumbles on my plate, the potatoes are very dry, the eggs were fine but you can't mess up eggs. I've had the chicken cutlet 4 piece sandwich and I ran into the same problems with hard bacon and dryness. Their fries and onion rings are pretty dry as well or soggy, it's never a good combination. They have great strawberry lemonade, and their chicken burger isn't so bad as long as you put a condiment in it. The place is clean. I wouldn't recommend you order delivery from here, the food gets to you soggy because of how they package it. read more

Best food in the area. Delivery is fast and food always taste great. I recommend this cafe to anyone in the area looking for great food. 5 stars. read more

The female waitress / cashier STEALS TIPS for pick up orders . Gives you the receipt with the correct amount but over charges your account . My debt card is set up w. Automatic text alerts so I caught it immediately and when I asked for the owner she lied and said it was two different employees.. and laughed in my face . How many ppl do they STEAL from with out them noticing... Food is good chef was very nice and helpful but them ladies are very dishonest and bad for business. read more

I love this diner. Amazing service never complained everything is freshly made! They should expand the restaurant it gets so packed. They are fast and their food are perfect. read more

I love this diner on Tremont. The food is fresh and healthier fare than is usually available in this neighborhood. So far I've had their chicken and broccoli omelet with fries and their chicken gyro with fries. Both were well-seasoned and tasty. Their fries are good but soggy. I had some tea with lemon from them and they gave me two real lemon slices in it- an extra plus. read more

They don't know how to make a Cesar Salad! I was surprised when I order a classic Cesar and I was told that the Cesar salad has cucumbers tomatoes and other ingredients. When I asked to please just make it like a classic Cesar salad they refused because their excuse was that they don't make that way. NEVER AGAIN! read more

The Quesadillas Are amazing food is good and very clean just hate there not open late

If you are in the East Tremont area (around Boston Rd.) give this place a shot, very clean and prompt service, my favorite dish would be the California Wrap, but other recommended meals are the Philly Cheese Steak Quesadillas and the Gyro Platter..They have a good mexican food selection in their menu if you would like to try something outside the traditional Deli food selection. read more

I order from this place pretty frequently. They have a nice variety of food choices, that are a step up from the neighborhood diner options, including some healthy choices. Also, they added some Mexican cuisine (i.e. Tacos, quesadillas, burritos, etc). Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area, and want affordable diner food. read more

Prices are a little high for the area their operating in the ghetto's of the south Bronx, people on welfare can't always afford $8 dollars for a hero sandwich and $7 dollars for a quesadillas, however the food it extremely delicious, they tend to get my order wrong when I tell them no onions they put onions anyway like they don't care just give me your money type shit pisses me off, I call and sent back food already 5 times they have gotten my orders wrong. They are worth a try and the food is great that's why I gave them 3 stars out of 5 instead of 1 star. Their prices are too high and they get orders wrong way to often and complain when you call back and tell them your orders wrong, if the food were not so good I would send them to hell, but the food really is just that dam good. read more
