It has been a while since we have eaten here. We used to come about once a month with family many years ago. Unfortunately on every visit, service always seemed to be struggling and we just stopped coming back. We were looking for a good cafe type spot and through we'd give this place another try. We were not disappointed this time, and were happy to have stopped in. First of all, a weekday lunch was not too busy and we were able to seat ourselves in a comfortable booth. They has specials listed on flip board near the door for both Chinese and American options. The menu was huge and had just about any kind of food you could want. I had my heart set on breakfast, but my dining companions ordered burgers. I had the steak and eggs with a scone on the side. The scone was actually two scones with a big dollop of honey butter melting on the top. I was so excited, I ate one of the scones before I could take my picture. My eggs were cooked just as I asked for (over easy), and the steak was a nice pink medium with great flavor and not too chewy. I savored every bite. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, making sure our drinks were full and we didn't want to anything. Upon check out, I noticed they have a monthly specials board with each day's offering listed. The prices are reasonable and I will definitely be back again. read more

I don't know why this place has such bad reviews because Star Cafe is rather tasty and the prices are reasonable too. However, I've only ever done takeout, so from what I've read in the negative reviews it seems to have to do with the indoor service. The first time I tried this lovely cafe I ordered the Two Pork Chops & 2 eggs which also comes with your choice of two sides. Along with that was an order of their English Muffin Combo which comes with your choice of one side. On a different day I decided to give their lunch a shot, and ordered the All Star Club Sandwich which comes with your choice of one side. First things first, the Two Pork Chops & 2 Eggs with two sides (I chose hash browns and a strawberry crepe). OMG it was BEYOND fantastic!! From the pork chops to the perfect over easy eggs (you can request how you want your eggs), to the strawberry crepe. I could go on and on, but let's just say I highly recommend it and definitely will order it again! The English Muffin Combo comes with your choice of either 2 bacon strips, 1 sausage patty, or a slice of ham on an English Muffin, with either hash browns or their home fries as a side (just FYI, the home fries are actually diced potatoes). They cook your meal without any seasoning (no salt, no pepper, etc) so it tastes very bland but you can "doctor" it up any which way you choose (which to me after giving it some thought, seems like a good decision on the restaurants part due to people and their different preferences). The strawberry crepe was BEYOND my expectations and then some! They also have blueberry if you're interested. Either way, I highly recommend trying it!!! My lunch takeout sadly wasn't as fantastic. That is only because they put my side of sliced potatoes with sauteed onions in the same styrofoam container as the sandwich making the whole sandwich smell and taste like onions (I also wondered if they just fried the sandwich in the same skillet as the onions). The sandwich itself is 3 layers of grilled/fried bread (which I wasn't aware of prior to ordering); so keep that in mind as it makes the bread soggy along with the barely there half slice of ham, turkey, and bacon. Mayo, 2 small pickle slices, and plenty of iceberg lettuce complete the All Star Club. It definitely is not something that I would be interested in ordering again. Restaurant is generous with plastic utensils and napkins for takeout but don't plan on seeing ANY condiments or salt/pepper packets with your order. Overall I was pleased with the quality and freshness of all the items. Definitely will be back...more than likely in person for my next visit. read more

This is my third review spanning over more than a dozen years; things change over time. The menu is large with a great variety, including American, Chinese, and Mexican offerings. Prices are very reasonable, the food was well prepared, and the service was excellent. I will be putting the Star Cafe back into our rotation. read more

The food is amazing. The atmosphere is comfy. The only complaint I had was that it took FOREVER to get our food. It was busy, and I can understand things are a little slower with the high volume of people. But it took about 20 minutes after being seated for our waitress to come to the table for our drink orders. Of course, by that time we had our food orders ready. She then went to another table and took their order. About 30 minutes later the other table got their food. 30 minutes after that we asked where our food was and the waitress tried saying we were put in after the other table. Our food was brought out by someone different immediately after. Decent price. Good food. Service could be better. read more

The food is good with a lot of choices but the reason I continue to dine here is the service. The staff is very friendly, caring and empathetic! I really enjoy sitting here and chatting with the staff, checking emails on my laptop and really just enjoying the comfort I recommend a place like this with wonderful people read more

Still plan on eating here, and they deserve 5 stars for waitress-friendliness and attention to refills... For constructive criticism because I want to see them succeed, here goes... 1. Avoid the omlettes, they are dry. 2. Avoid pancakes, they are hard & feel like they came from the freezer to the toaster to your plate. Pancakes should be large and fluffy. Get the scones, yum! 3. Avoid the chicken fried steak. Same issue as the pancakes... almost unchewable. Just awful 4. Get the breakfast platters with overeasy and home fries. Senior one filled me up. Super tasty. 5. Get the biscuits & gravy. 6. Philly sandwich was tasty, but kinda small for the price (everything is downsized these days) read more

I left a Google review so you can find the same review there as well but I did want to come on here and leave a yelp review as well. The owner also responded to our Google review saying it was a blatant lie. I found it very unprofessional as I did include some pictures of the hair we had found on the plates. Sure we ate the food partially because the hairs we found after the plate was pretty much done and because we had to wait so long for our food and we were starving. Either way I was not impressed and even less impressed by the response we got in our Google review. I'll post below that our Google review says. "Star Cafe? More Like Subpar Cafe - A Hair-Raising Experience (Literally) If you're looking for an overpriced exercise in patience, disappointment, and involuntary hair consumption, then Star Cafe is your spot. For the rest of us who enjoy edible food and basic human decency, avoid this place like a cold cup of instant coffee. Let's start with the drink fiasco. One of us ordered a coffee--you know, that hot, caffeinated beverage found at literally every diner since the dawn of breakfast--and what came out? A Coke. After correcting the server, the coffee finally arrived... eventually. That slow, inattentive service became the theme of the entire visit. Drink refills? Rare. Communication from staff? Nonexistent. Our table felt like a forgotten side quest in their poorly managed simulation. As for the food, it took over an hour to arrive. That might be excusable if what came out was worth waiting for. Spoiler: it wasn't. Bland, lukewarm, and uninspired--I've had more flavorful meals at a Denny's or IHOP. And as a cherry on top of this depressing sundae, multiple sides didn't even make it to the table until we had already finished eating. But wait--it gets worse. Three of us found hairs in our food. Not one. Not two. Three. And not even the kind you can convince yourself maybe came from your own head. No--foreign, mystery hairs. Curious, I peeked into the kitchen (something I now regret), and surprise! Not a single hair net in sight. Honestly, it looked like a scene from a bad reality show where the health inspector is about to barge in. When we brought this nightmare to the staff's attention, their response? A casual attempt to charge us full price--about $90 for a meal that made us all lose our appetite. After some back-and-forth, they knocked off 20%, but honestly, they should've been paying us for sticking it out. Bottom line: Star Cafe has earned a spot on my "never again" list. Save yourself the disappointment (and the hairballs) and head Anywhere but Star Cafe." read more

We love this simple little diner for breakfast. The big plus is Tiffany. She is probably the best waitress we have had in all of our restaurants we've gone to. My wife and I use her as our measuring tape when comparing other servers. read more

Still a great place to go for a great breakfast. Everybody here is very pleasant to deal with the staff is great. And the atmosphere is very relaxing and comforting. So I've highly recommend it. But for somebody like me who kinda likes a quiet place. It has gotten a little bit loud for me so I am looking for a new quieter Café. Love everybody there. read more

Greeted as soon as we walked in. Sat down took drink order. Chicken fried steak with hash browns, eggs and pancakes. Gravy had good texture, could have done with more seasoning, breakfast burrito with salsa and verde sauce with pinto beans. Burrito had meat choice of sausage, egg, hash browns. Beans were lacking seasoning. But the verde and salsa were very good taste texture. Food came out hot, good size portions. Good service all around. We will be back. read more

The only food I enjoyed was the scones. Everything else tasted like it came out of a microwave. Their bookkeeping is still done with a notebook full of a list of orders for the day chargebacks Etc. They seem to have no understanding of the new apps that have come out such as klarna,affirm,uplift,zip, zilch, google wallet, apple pay, etc. Because they did not understand these computer apps or how many have come out they made no effort to read how it works. Very disappointing and I even paid extra because they could not read through the information and try to understand how it works. Probably due to her limited English. I will not ever visit this establishment again! Hope they get their knowledge of computers together. How would you rate your experience read more

This place has been a fun go to for awhile, always friendly/inventive staff, and the foods always been good. Nothing burnt, nothing undercooked. It's been good every-time I've came here. Fully recommend with their prices and food! read more

Service just as amazing as the food, never have a complaint when I come here. I recently went to this restaurant and had an amazing experience! The food was delicious and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend it! read more

We got sat, then we got completely forgotten about. After realizing we had been sitting there for a while, I actually set a timer for 5 minutes so I could have a definite time to call it and leave. My timer sounded and I left sad and hungry, if you are in the market for a meal, I recommend anywhere else, even a gas station where perhaps you will get something to eat. read more

Small town feel cafe the staff was polite and service was great! The food was decent not a lot of flavor but nothing a little salt and pepper couldn't solve. The cinnamon sweet rolls were great! read more

Don't waste your money here, you are definitely forgotten if you're not regular. And just check out it took another 10 minutes standing there. The food is to fill the belly and not your tastebuds. I was kind of nervous when I saw that they offer Chinese food. There are several other options that are better than this in the area. Once again, don't waste your money! read more

The food is always really good for me and my family and thats why we always come back but last time my family and I came we split the checks and my grandma gave me a 20$ bill to help. And thinking they wouldn't just assume that they're getting tipped, I placed my bank card into the check book for them to take the money and charge the rest of the bill to my card. But no just took the 20$ as a tip WHILE I WAS RUNNING TO MY CAR TO GET HER ONE and when I came back I handed her the actual tip and took my card back thinking everything was fine. But when I got home I'd been charged 23$ on my card. Im not sure why she thought I'd give a 30$ tip on a 23$ order but to say the least next time she's not getting shit from me. read more

This is the first time dining at Star Cafe. I wish I could tell you it was a great experience. It was mixed experience. If you order breakfast you should have a good experience. Venture off the beaten path, like order lunch or the dinner menus and the quality of the product suffers. This could just be an off day. However, our waitress was very slow and almost forgetful about our drinks. 2/3rds of the order was delivered. Food was over salted. I'd think twice before going back. On a positive note. Their chairs were really comfortable. read more

This one star is because I had to give a star to write a review? This was a terrible experience and I would never go here again. We had a party of 4, they have you seat yourself which is nice. After seated that's when the experience was far but great.... our order was taken shortly after sitting down probably like 7 minutes. We sat at the table for 40 minutes waiting for food, it wasn't that the restaraunt was busy. We saw 3 tables be seated after we sat and all 3 got their food before us. There was a table that sat 30 minutes after we were sat and they had their food within 5-8 minutes. We didn't order anything complicated, one if the tables who sat shortly after us got their food, ate that food and left while we never received our food. Terrible hospitality and experience here. read more

This place is so interesting. The menu offers breakfast, American, Chinese, Mexican and dessert! We usually go to Star Cafe for breakfast though because they are so large and really satisfy that craving! The inside of the cafe is pretty clean. We've never had a problem with service. We notice the same customers are there every time we go and are usually bantering a lot with the servers so they definitely have regulars. You will get a lot of food. It's good food. Not fantastic food. If you have a huge appetite, this is the place for you! Some things are good, others not as much. We got fried ice cream to end our meal and the breading was so freezer burned that we had a hard time eating it at all. A few problems with dirty dishes. So ya, this is the place you come for with a hangover. You have so many random, greasy foods you can choose from. It can get crowded especially on weekends so be aware of that! Bring a big appetite and a mellow attitude. Both those things will help you have a good experience! read more

If I could rate this a negative star I would. The Waitress was amazing, but the manager was Arrogant and rude when we told her the food was bad, burnt omelets, gooey gluey pancakes and unseasoned food. Her only option she gave us was to remake everything. She basically told us we were wrong and nothing was wrong with the food because she had "hundreds of other orders and no complaints." I have been in the food industry for years and when I order an omelet I expect a couple of things like at least a 1 inch height by the only thickness was the vegetable that were cut at a full inch cube way too big all the cheese was lumped in the center and the eggs were a dark tan color instead of the nice yellow you should get if properly cooked. The buttermilk pancakes that should have a nice fluffy ¼ inch thickness and texture were barely 1/16 inch and gluey. The country fries had no seasoning at all. Now I get some people like bland food and this may be the place for you but if like quality food don't go here. The only edible thing on the table was the scones with the honey butter which was surprisingly real butter and the coffee made by our amazing waitress. So if all you want is scones and coffee this is the place to go but please remember the waitresses have NO control over the kitchen so be polite to them. read more

Good portion and price. It's diner food. Might visit again, but no compelling need to go.

I was actually surprised with the service and food at a place like Star Cafe. I was in town seeing my bf for the weekend and we went to dinner there. I saw the prices were a little lower than in Salt Lake City... being that it is a smaller city near Ogden. The waitress was very nice and friedly. It was dead inside so when she wasn't helping us she was standing up front talking with the regulars. I got the chicken-fried steak. I'm from the deep south so I know a good one when I have it and I have to say it was really good! The sauted onions and potatoes were a little different than I expected. I thought they would be sliced thin, but there were on the thicker side. The potato soup was just ok, nothing special there. The broccoli side I ordered to have some veggies was pretty good and very lard. I expected a small bowl but instead I got a whole plate of steaming broccoli! Yay! After packing that away, I got a small strawberry crepe with sweetened condensed milk inside and powered sugar, not bad. Was pretty good. All in all, I'd say this is a good place to stop off if you want a cheap meal and nothing too high end. I may avoid the soup, but the rest of it is on par with other places such as Village Inn or Denny's, but the price is better (cheaper). read more

Best breakfast place in town. My favorite is the chicken fried steak definitely recommend trying it out.

The food is so good at Star Cafe I asked my husband to take me there again today! I had the 3 egg bacon mushroom and cheese omelette with the crepe and coffee. Everything was delicious! read more

The service was quick. I might tend to give a higher rating for being the only place we could get a table. Sills Cafe in Layton and Grannie Annie's in Kaysville were both standing room only. The food was just okay. I got a 3-egg omelette and the wife got the french toast, which she said was fine but not amazing. I also ordered a side biscuit with gravy. The gravy was crusted over like it had been sitting for a bit before she brought it out. Anyway, not bad but not great. Not too helpful a rating I'm sorry to say. The bathroom was clean - always a bonus for me. read more

If you just stick to the basic breakfast items...egg, sausage, bacon, hash brown, and pancake or scones...then you cant go wrong with a decent meal at a very affordablr price. If you venture off or try to customize menu items, then good luck to you. Their sausage links are large compared to other places and it taste real good. Their scones are also fantastic. This is one of the few places that make scones the way I like it; crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and not too thick and heavy. Hash browns are average. Eggs are eggs. Bacon is average. So like I said, if you just want a basic average breakfast, cheap, sit down place to go, and not expecting gourmet, this is the place. read more

I've been going here since I was growing up! The only place me and my family ate breakfast. They have the famous Utah scones, and they're the best. The breakfast is pretty average. But inside is always a good home vibe, very cozy, and most the employees have been there forever. read more

We have been going here for years. However; the last 2 visits have been terrible. Slow service and really bad food quality. This second time in we decided to give them a second chance after last weeks uncooked meal. Nope this was worse! Spoiled meat! Owner say's the meat can't spoil. I've got years of restaurant experience and yes it can spoil. Not worth getting food poisoning over it. We won't be returning. read more

Basic diner food. Nothing to go crazy about except the CREPE!! YUMMY! We had the sausage/bacon special that came with hash browns or home fries. The hash browns were very bland. I actually paid $.99 more for tomatoes and they were NOT good. But that's okay for a cheap meal with no wait on the 4th of July. It's DEFINITELY a family restaurant so if you're not into small kids, keeping driving! Coffee was pretty watered down, but I'm into espresso drinks so I don't have high expectations of a diner. Service was so-so. They were busy so it was just fine. I would come back for a basic meal for sure. read more

Went in for breakfast. Water was set on the table and there were maggots in it! The waitresses took it back to the kitchen and another waitresses came out with another glass of water. She informed me that it was not maggots, it was something in the glass. I politely told her it definitely was maggots. She actually tried to argue with me. Needless to say we left. We didn't order maggots on it water!!!! HEALTH DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED! read more

Went here for breakfast a few weeks ago nothing special or memorable. Scones were just ok, the help was nice but the place is kinda dirty

Scones were always awesome. Utah should be known for these awesome fried things. Pancakes were decent I don't like mine super brown. But golden. That's just me. Decent breakfast place. Scones are on point. read more

This is a pretty good place. Decent menu at a decent price. When I want an american breakfast without an hour long wait for a table,(I'm talking to you, Sills cafe) come here. Some times service can be a bit slow, but I've never had any wait that's too outrageous. There's definitely room for improvement, but they do alright. read more

This review is based only on service since we didn't taste the food. Our first time here. We arrived at 10:20 am on a Saturday. It was slightly busy, we were seated in 5 minutes. Here it comes, it took 8 minutes for a waitress to come get our drink order, coffee for both of us, another 5 minute wait, ordered, 20 min...30 min....40 min.....out the door we went. Not sure if we will return, service is 60-70% of the business. read more

Might be under new ownership. My spouse received his food & was almost done b4 me & the boys got anything. Our meals came out in segments eggs & sausage, then French Toast, then scone. If it's this bad next time we won't return. You get a lot for a little, but things seem to have changed for the worse. read more

Went here last Sunday and it was terrible! The place is dirty and the hostess seemed very confused, showing us to one table, then someone said something in an asian language and she moved to another looking back at the other lady. We were sat at the third choice of tables. Our food came out one person's order at a time, the first person was completely done by the time the last person to order got theirs. The food was ok but I wouldn't order anything but breakfast food! My friend ordered the breakfast burrito and something was off, not sure what but it tasted BAD! We will not be back! read more

I would go here if it was place in the world. It used to be a great place. Last six month it turned in a dump. Try to charge me for plate for my 4 year grandbaby. I was going to share my eggs. The service is slow.... The guy running the place is alway yeaing about something. the place is dirty. Watch a lady chair break when she Sat down.... The food come out cool.. The coffee cups were dirty. The water cups have a build up of water spots. NO NEVER GOING IN AGAIN read more

I'm generally not a fussy person and try to be as forgiving as possible (I get it, stuff happens), but wow, was that a terrible experience. The waiter was unable to understand the difference between the words "well done" and "rare done" (we repeated them back and forth to each other several times and he still didn't get it right - English is not his first language). When the food finally came, it was nearly inedible - everything tasted dry, old and bland. It was very obvious that no one gave a hang about the customers or about giving fair value for the money. I don't know what has happened there in the past year or so, as it used to be a pretty good diner, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone now. read more

Fast service, inexpensive specials, large tables for groups, yummy breakfast!!! This is a great Sunday spot!
