Judging from the vintage photos on the business cards and postcards for sale at the register, this diner passed its golden age about 30 years ago, maybe around the time I-95 opened and diverted traffic off Rt. 1, where the diner is. However, this is still a good find, a decent local diner with an emphasis on quite good Greek food. My family and I stopped there for dinner on a drive back from NYC on a whim, and I bet we'll be back. The very thorough menu has all the NY diner standards like burgers, deli sandwiches, blintzes, even egg creams. I decided on the Greek sampler plate, which is supposed to have moussaka, pasticio, and spanakopita. They were out of spanakopita, so I asked for a double shot of moussaka. They were both tasty, with lots of ground beef, nicely spiced, with a creamy, cheesy Bechamel on top. I preferred the pasticio, since the eggplant in the moussaka was a little oily. One final note. For those heading north on I-95 at least, this is an "easy off" but not quite an "easy on," since you have take a poorly marked turn, then go down a local road to get back on I-95. All in all, though, if you're interested in a little local color, it's worth the stop. read more

Diner lost in time. Everything needs a deep cleaning, painting or complete overhaul. Very mediocre food quality. Fruit salad appeared to have been made multiple days ago and was watery and we ate in Sunday morning at 10am. Gallo eggs - menu items described pinto beans there was some broken rice with black beans on the plate, plantains were not sweet and were rock hard deep fried chunks. Just not appetizing snd lacked and authenticity or flavor. The one order of Challah French toast was good with fresh cut strawberries and bananas. Overall just needs a lot more attention to detail in food and needs to be cleaned and remodeled. read more

My meal was virtually inedible. My burger was charred to the point of rivalling a lump of coal. My fries were ancient, greasy and disgusting. The waitress, while nice enough, was not even marginally attentive. The fact that she never checked on our party and served me slop is clear evidence thereof. When I was a kid Silver Star was a treat. The food, service and atmosphere were always exceptional. I'm disgusted and disappointed at how low the standards have sunk. A complete let down!!! read more

Greek diners are famous for their homemade Greek food at decent prices. Silver Star does not disappoint with their chicken souvlaki - huge portion on pita for $9.95. Chicken pieces were flavorful though a few were a little gristly, but there were so many it didn't matter. Also love that they serve wine if you'd like a glass with your food. Attentive counter service by a nice Greek lady. Can't go wrong here or at Penny's either. read more

Silver Star Diner - Chicken souvlaki on pita. - Diners Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Low quality food. Slow service even when no one is there.

Came here with Nick. Food was ok. Full bar but by state law couldn't open until 0900. Honestly, probably wouldn't come back here as there are so many other places to try but it's convenient and open long hours. Full bar too-oh yeah, I mentioned this already. Don't order the bloody mary. read more

On the way to the Boston area Labor Day weekend, C. and I stopped here for breakfast while driving. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good. I forget what we ordered, but I remember thinking that the decor was interesting, the service adequate, and the prices slightly high. Definitely an easy on-easy off kind of diner, not the kind of place I'd frequent if I lived in the area. read more

Silver Star Diner has been my family's favorite place to eat anywhere since we moved to Norwalk 12 years ago. We eat there once or twice a week and between all of us have confirmed that we've ordered everything on the menu. We order our favorite dishes and specials a lot, but having so many of them it's still a tremendous variety of entrees to decide on every time we sit down. The main dining room is our favorite spot because it's low-lit, quiet even when there are a good amount of people seated because of its size and floor plan, and decorated in a very homey fashion that perfectly suits its delicious comfort food. Silver Star is the only place that we eat, including fancy restaurants, in which we look at and order from the specials menus often because they always live up to its name. The Meat Loaf Tower is my favorite. Have a spotter and don't look down. It's a high-rise of tender, juicy meatloaf adorned with creamy, gravy-laced mashed potatoes. Unbelievably tasty. The wait and managerial staff are very friendly (Gus makes you feel like you're in the home of a dear friend), professional, and provide fast, efficient service. We love going there. It's a break from a workday that makes you forget it ever happened and it makes the weekends more fun. It's like a theme park of food. Treat yourself. Treat your family. Trek to Silver Star. read more

Don't miss the super tasty chicken soup at silver star diner! Many times i have it to take home and enjoy it at home. There is both noodles or with lemon and rice. Not to mention the the gourmet stews! Or the melt in your mouth pancakes for dessert.. read more

Well, only place open at 11pm, so we gave it a shot. Clientele: Shady, a bit unsettling. Service: Friendly enough and ridiculously fast! Prices: A little salty for the quality, but not egregiously so. Food: Scrambled eggs and bacon--tasty enough, not greasy. Home fries--devoid of salt and other seasonings and thus flavorless. Net, an obvious 3. read more

typical greek diner . plenty of food . adequate service... low points for rancid walnuts on the salad high points for easy access to the highway read more

See all

I have been here many times the food and service is very good anytime you go they are ready for you . I will continue going back. read more

It's been years since I've ate here back in the 90's when I lived nearby. I wasn't impressed then and wasn't too impressed today. My friend wanted a cheeseburger while we were in town and this was the closest diner that I could find in the vicinity to our hotel. Very friendly staff who met our needs. Food came pretty fast for our to go order. Forgot to check burger resulting in a void of bbq sauce. I am definitely not a fan of the seafood lasagna. It was extremely salty and could have used more sauce. Probably will not revisit. I'll make the drive to Stamford for two of the best diners in the area. read more

Silver Star is my go-to right now. Gus, the server every night, is phenomenal. 10/10 service, clearly a hard worker. We LOVE going to see him. He is extremely accommodating, gets along with all of us, goes out of his way to be so helpful. His energy is amazing. Also i crave the french toast daily. that is all read more

This is a nice little(big inside) diner I'm sure you will enjoy. The food was just right for the price. They forgot an ingredient of my meal but it was all okay at the end. FAST service warm atmosphere and good food. If you are looking for a yummy breakfast go here. read more

I just had to share our outstanding experience...we took our 1 year old and our 3 year old here on a Tuesday evening. Most restaurants (even diners, friendly's etc) roll their eyes and cringe when kids walk in and for most part our children are very well behaved in a restaurant setting, but the staff here were warm and welcoming. They seemed to enjoy the children and waiting on us. We had outstanding service start to finish by every person in the place. Our waitress didn't let our iced teas go empty (refills was a nice touch), she checked back after each thing came out, and she was beyond pleasant. Our food was all delicious and fresh tasting. The kids had chicken fingers and fries as a treat with milk and apple juice and lots of smiles from the staff. They were also given crayons and a placemat to draw on. My husband and I shared a bunch of stuff but to me the French onion soup and chicken souvlaki were the real standouts. Everything was delicious and we had a GREAT time. We can't wait to go back when we're in town next! read more

Stopped from the road to take out a sandwich. People were very friendly. Order was ready when I arrived. I ordered a chicken salad club on wheat with potato salad instead of fries. The sandwich was very good. Maybe could have used a little more bacon, otherwise no complaints. Potato salad was good, but nothing special. I'm a big pickle guy, and I was definitely disappointed in that category. They tasted like Vlasics out of the jar. I expect a good quality deli dill at a diner. So a deduction there. But the real reason for the 2 out of 5 score was because the cost of a club sandwich there with potato salad was $13+. No thanks. Even if it was the best club sandwich, potato salad, and pickle I've ever eaten, I would have to talk myself into paying almost $14 for a meal that realistically should cost no more than $8.95. read more

I love coming here. Me and my Dad come here every Saturday. They even know our favorites. There is so much kindness and happiness going around that it is a nice place to be. I would go check it out if I were you. Sadly there are only five stars to put on. I would give them a million or even googolplex. Thank you for reading my review. (SB - age 9) read more

We were visiting family and it was a easy place to meet for lunch. The service was friendly although they didn't come to check on us for drinks. But the food was good. We got the Greek chix kabob, waffle and tune melt. But this diner has a full bar which is nice. But the soda machine was broke so we had limited selection. But overall good food worth visiting if passing by. read more

My first time here with my dad and I ordered steak&eggs and he ordered bacon and eggs with sausage the place was ok the waitress was nice but we had expected something different read more

Silver Star Diner - Steak and eggs with mashed potatoes - Diners Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

It never disappoints. Great food generous portions and nice people. We sometimes just go there for dessert.

The staff was not friendly, nor was it well organized. The food was mushy and lacked flavor. I do not recommend. It is also overpriced for poor service and bad food. read more

I'v been eating at Silver Star diner since the early 90's. I can't say enough fabulous things about the food and service. Breakfast all day - amazing boutique Italian fare options - (Chicken Parm featured in the photo below). If you're a local or just passing through don't miss the chance to sit down for a meal read more

Fantastic!! This is our breakfast home-away-from-home!! The family that runs this place are amazing, patient, and so very helpful!! The food is always delicious, we've never had a bad meal. Thank you to my two favorite sisters!!! You both make it feel like my family when I bring in my family! read more

Chocolate chip pancakes!!!! Delicious. The right amount of chocolate. Pair it with a fried egg and I'm in heaven! I can't go wrong here at least with breakfast anyway. I'll keep coming. read more

Moved away from Norwalk back in 2001, but Silver Star Diner is one of my first stops when I come home to visit. Hands-down some of the best comfort food around -- especially the breakfast (no one makes homefries like they do)! read more

Best Diner in the world, they have all the best options you can ask for, homemade desserts are out of this world. I love coming here late night and talking with Gus he's the best person to have as a server. Their daily dinner specials are 5 Stars I had the ribs the other day and they're some of the best ribs I've ever had. The soups are phenomenal and this place is so beautiful I highly recommend it for eve read more

I thought it would be a great place to visit after a comedy show with friends, little did I know it would be a disaster. We order nachos, mistake number one. Two of our plates were dirty and the nachos look like dollar store chips with shredded cheese melted on top from a microwave. Second, we finally get our food and it is below subpar. We came around 12:11 in the morning so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Was it bad yes, but it's midnight. But that leads me into mistake number three. The staff are slow and dull, I didn't mean to listen to others but they were also talking about how long it took for this place to make an egg sandwich and how the staff are just sound bored. Is it different during the day, maybe, but from what I can tell you personally, don't come here. They also seemed to charge my friend a dollar for cheese and fifty cents for a roll on the egg and cheese he ordered, it's just pitiful. read more

At first I was a little apprehensive about coming here due to it being a diner. But because we had three hungry kids in tow I figured why not. I am definitely happy we did. The food was delicious and the service was great too. I had the chicken Parmesan. The portion was huge. So much so I had to take the rest home. My husband had the halibut and he loved it. And my daughter had the salmon a la mango. She was very pleased. All in all we are happy we stumbled upon this place. The next time we venture up to this side of Connecticut we will stop here. read more

Great food! The diner is ran by a Greek family. They're very sweet, great service and great food along with prices.

Staff wasn't a problem, they were nice & friendly. The problem I've had with my family was when I order potch eggs on the side. They gave me a dirty dish with food stains before, the potch eggs were slimy. Next when they served us out water, one of the waters had some sort of piece of food flooring around. The utensils were stained and weren't properly cleaned. Stilled smelled like syrup, sticky, it is Disgusting. I always recommend checking your utensils anywhere you go if it's not prepackaged. Especially here. I don't mean to sound like a Karen but it was truly disappointing. Not to mention we are still in a pandemic, but either the boss or manager of who ever is working behind the counter, it was a old man short white hair, ima say he's about 5'10- 6 ft tall. He was working without a mask. Myself and another customer saw him cough on to his fist & didn't bother washing his hands. He just kept resuming what ever he was doing, he was moving stuff around the counter. That's unacceptable considering Covid-19. Good luck to future customers read more

I love coming here late nights because Gus is the best!! The desserts here are the best all ways fresh always taste great. Their dinner specials are my favorite!! They have the best breakfast all day long!! read more

One star for good flavor and well made. Lost stars mainly for the dysfunctional owners. I don't think I have ever, in my lifetime, met such nasty owners. The staff is lovely. However, an employee made a clerical mistake, and the owner took it out on my husband even though he had the receipt for proof and the employee confirmed that my husband did pay. And, even though he had the receipt and showed him this manager/owner called my husband "a liar" and then cursed in Greek. It was very nasty and derogatory. My husband paid for pick-up and the guy didn't want ro give him his meal. He should be ashamed of himself. --AND the rest of the lost stars goes to the fact that the food is over priced. I have been trying out restaurants in Fairfield County for the past two months. May I suggest Darien Diner and Post Road Diner and Orem's and Athena's. The owners and staff and food are all worth the trip unless you want to spend your hard earned money and take the chance to be bullied at Silver Star. There are a few other diners that are mediocre, which is why I didn't mention them. read more

Everyone is right about this diner. I should have checked the reviews before going there myself. They gave me bacon that looked like it had been left overnight. It was very stale. They forgot apart of my order and when I asked for something the waitress acted like she was being attentive then totally forgot about me. The food was mediocre. And I called the day before to see if they had something and when I got there the waitress said she their machine was out of order. I would NEVER go there again. The Post Road Diner is further from my house, but I'll be going there instead. It's worth the distance. The service and food is much better. This was my first time going to Silver Star and I won't be going back again. Tanya read more

Silver Star Diner - Diners Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

There are more options on this menu then toys at Toys R Us. This makes it easy for gathering the family around for a meal that will satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. The staff and owners give make you feel at home from the moment you walk in the door. I highly recommend not looking at the strategically located desserts in the window on the way in and out if you are trying to avoid desserts. I also highly recommend not avoiding their dessert selection. read more

Fast service and delicious food. Accommodating with menu modifications, staff was very friendly.
