This is the go to place for getting your grub on after the bars close or the next morning for hangover breakfast, the Greek skillet and Greek omelette are phenomenal! read more

We loves this place! We found this place by accident and we've been repeat trucker customers ever since. I got out of the truck to check my trailer and the smell hit me. Onions, beef, hints of chicken hit me and I said to my wife ,"we're going". Lol breakfast is great. Great coffee. Great service. Burgers are good. Soups great. Fried chicken good. Open 24/7. Breakfast all day! The menu is big and they have Italian, Mexican, tons of breakfasts, burgers, sandwiches, soups of the day, and daily specials. The only thing I've had that wasn't up to par with everything else was an Italian dish once. But it was still okay, and I knew I was bound to find something on the huge menu that wasn't on fire. This is one of the only places I've found that I plan to try something new every time I'm here. Finally the desserts. Try the homemade cheesecakes. The ones on the big casserole glass dishes. Strawberry, blueberry, or chocolate. The cheesecake will make you want to come back;) read more

Service is top notch; friendly and attentive. Soups are good, sandwiches all good, specials daily. Great all around restaurant.

Our food was very tasty! The service was great, and our food came out exactly as we ordered! As another review said, don't judge a book by it's cover! This little diner is attached to a gas station, so my husband was a bit hesitant. They have a ton of choices, and everything our party ordered was fantastic. The waffles were fluffy, the gyro was delicious, my club sandwich had turkey that was carved from a turkey breast.... not a packaged deli slice of meat. The hubs got a breakfast skillet, and was very pleased with the portion and flavor! read more

Excellent! The ribeye was delicious! Service was great as well. Definitely will be back again and again!

This place reminds me of the Greek diners you'll find along the eastern seaboard. Gigantic menus. Gigantic portions. Reasonable pricing. Example: 5.99 fried shrooms app, count stated on menu was 15. I'm certain the platter had 25+ and it came with a small soup bowl of ranch. So they know not to be stingey with the portions. They served me a perfect medium rare strip steak. Done right first trip to the table..... How my meal could have been done better is a mystery to me. Try them. You will more than likely not think it sucks. As an aside, some regulars were overheard bitching about a particular server whom was not on duty, she, apparently failed to meet the customer's expectations for such a position. Mine, on the other hand, was impressive despite being partially lame. read more

Diner food. Slightly above average diner food with a Greek twist. Owners are greek as well.

Came in by myself. Place is busy but I didn't have to wait long for service and food. Breakfast is good. Good and friendly service. I would come back again to try other menu items. Big menu with a lot to choose from and sounds good. read more

We had a delicious lunch to finish up our lovely weekend in Springfield, IL. The fried chicken was absolutely delectable and my husband enjoyed the steak sandwich and fries. We were too full to try the desserts but they looked delicious in the case. read more

Great Food with great service. Always a packed house only wish they had more room. If looking for a place with an extensive menu this is the place you have to try. Never been to a truck stop that had such a wonderful menu. Try the Philly you wont be disappointed.. read more

The service was good and the food was out quick. It's Basically What you would expect out of a diner. Get A Pie!

My 100th review! Bow down you reviewers under the number or 100! This place is great. flat out great food-great service-great prices. Its a truck stop , its a diner whatever. Best breakfast in town. Period. Open 24-7 so take your ass out of the 3 o'clock bar and get your face stuffed. Can't go wrong on huge menu filled with savory goodness. Not just for drunks and methed out truckers anymore. Take the family, you'll be glad you did. Uncle Matt says check it out read more

Being from out-of-town we searched for places to have dinner. After looking at The Star 66 Cafe's Menu we decided to give it a try and I'm so glad we did. I had an omelette with hash browns and couldn't finish it it was so big. My husband had a patty melt and potato soup. We both left stuffed. Our only regret was that we didn't leave room for dessert. They looked better than delicious! It was very crowded but we were still in, seated, and finished in 30 minutes!!! I'm impressed read more

Huge side salad, four dinner rolls, mash potatoes and gravy, corn, and four pieces of incredible fried chicken for ten dollars. The quality and value was amazing. Top it off with a very friendly staff. I wish I lived here just to eat at this restaurant. Forget whatever you thought about truck stop food and go here. read more

I am an Over The Road truck driver and have been coming here for 6 years now. The tilapia is fresh, the mashed potatoes are real, the soups are amazing, most of the desserts are homemade, the location is superb and the staff are super friendly. I love this place and will continue to travel out of my way to come back again and again! read more

Stopped here for breakfast on our trip to Michigan. I have never felt so full! Loved everything we ate! Biscuits and gravy was very good. Prices good and portions insane! Service was great. If we are wver back up this way we will go again! read more

Don't discount this diner because it's attached to a gas station. The first time I went there, I returned the same day for dinner. Every time I drive down to visit family in the area, I made sure to stop at Star 66 for the amazing food and service. I believe the owners are there all of the time. They are talking to customers and getting their "hands dirty" by helping out. Everyone works so well together to take good care of their customers. With that being said, I highly recommend the fried chicken, their delicious chicken soup, and ALWAYS fresh and amazing coconut cream pie! read more

This truck stop diner has to be the BEST "all around" restaurant in Springfield! You might find specific things at specific restaurants that are great. But this place gets mostly everything right. It's easily the best breakfast joint, sorry Charlie P's. And they have a crazy assortment to choose from. Here's a few recommendations! Breakfast Burrito - Best in the state! Biscuits n Gravy - Arguably best in Town! Waffles, skillets, it's all great! Fried Chicken - best I've ever had! All their homemade soups Ribeye - Yes! Char broiled, seasoned lightly, as good as most steak houses! Dishes that I saw and looked GREAT! Taco Salad, I think they fry their own bowls! Alfredo, looked great! Eveeryone HIGHLY recommends lasagna I'll update as I try more things there! read more

Kind of hard to rate the Star Sixty-Six Café. It's a very friendly place with very average food. We had breakfast there. The omelets tasted of the oil they were cooked in. Toast is plain, and the potatoes very good. The decaf coffee was way too mild. Very friendly place with gemütlichkeit! read more

So VERY delicious! All homemade. Food and desserts were awesome. Highly recommend! Service was quick and very friendly. We will definitely make this a regular stop!! read more

First time my wife and I had eaten at Star 66, the fried chicken was excellent, potato soup was great. Salad was very good. American fries were also very good. Service was excellent and friendly. I plan on returning and trying out the other items on the menu. I loved the potato soup. OH yell, we had 3 pices of chicken left over to take home . read more

Absolutely amazing! Great food, friendly staff and owners and really low prices! Can't believe I could find such service at a truck stop. Usually it's just disgusting Denny's. read more

Amazing. Not just good for a truck stop. Everything you order here is fresh and delicious. Huge menu, if you can't find it on there, it is not diner food! I am very particular about how my eggs are cooked and they got them just right. Stopping here will not disappoint!!!! read more

We stopped here because of several Yelp reviews. We were a little surprised at the location (truck stop), but trusted the reviews. My husband had the chicken fried chicken and loved it. The chicken was crispy but not dry, and the mashed potatoes were real! In addition, he ordered a piece of blackberry pie and said it was the best he ever had! I, on the other hand, was not so lucky. I ordered the broiled chicken breast - flavor wise it was good, but the texture was rubbery. Fortunately, it came with a salad so I didn't go hungry. We would definitely stop here again. read more

My husband was reminiscing about stopping at diners along a road trip, then we pulled off for gas and happened upon this jewel of a cafe. The food was great tasting and plentiful. The waitress easily recommended selections - and she didn't miss! A great surprise! read more

What else can you say? It's one of the finest truck stop restaurants you'll find. The staff and management are wonderful. We've lived in the neighborhood for 20 years and the same faces are still there. We've stumbled in for a post drinking breakfast, we've popped in for a fast breakfast before a road trip, and we've drug our butts in for supper after a long day of manual labor. The faces are always bright, the service always quick, and the food always good. Some of the best soups around. The omelets are what I strive to make at home. There are great salad ingredient combos. Whatever sandwich you want, however you want it - you'll find it here. People watching is top notch. Depending on what time of day you are there, the show can be priceless. read more

I always heard about the food at truck stops and that it is a toss up between the good and the bad. This is the GOOD! The service is as good as I have ever had! The food is killer and the desserts almost put me in a wheelbarrow. Gosh it was great! read more

Quick, friendly, attentive service late in the evening. Very good buttery crepes. Salad was fresh. The place was quite popular for late on a Thursday, but service was very efficient. Good value for the price. read more

Great food, cheap prices, great staff. Greeted the second you walk in the door. Best diner in Springfield, IL.

Awesome food and tons of it. Be sure to save room for homemade pie. Also ask for Hannah. One of the best waitresses we've ever had.

So this restaurant made me so grateful for yelp reviews! We wouldn't have known about this place but it was amazing. Huge menu, super friendly staff. And food was soooooo good! read more

Great food and great service. Never had a bad meal. Always full when you eat there. Best soups and pies.

My family has been having breakfast on Saturdays for many years. Twice in the past month (April) we have had to eat breakfast bundled up in our coats!!!! It is reported that the staff does not have access the thermostat. This is unacceptable. I will not eat again in my coat . Please respect your customers turn on the heat. read more

Best breakfast in Sprinfield. End of discussion. Great wait staff. My personal favorite is the Star 66 special. You will be back. Guaranteed. read more

Good food, good people. Don't let the location fool you. Grab the crispy fried chicken, worth the wait and heart attack.

Fried chicken was good had to send cold instant potatoes back cause they came to me cold other than that I have no complaints.

I have lived in Springfield for a year. I have been to many dinning establishments around town and I can say hands down this is the best food in Springfield. You can go here at any time on any day and get an amazing meal. Show up at 2 a.m. after a night on the town and order a sunrise special and you will be a very happy person indeed. Please do yourself a favor and check this place out. read more

Good food and service, nice place to stop when you're on the road

Wonderful! Delicious food for reasonable prices! You get full and always have leftovers! I highly recommend eating here. Never had a bad experience. read more
