    Blueberry Pancakes
    Agta B.

    What a cute little place! We loved the cute decor and the old times vibe. The soda fountain and the grill being out front let us see all the action. The tin ceilings and the tile floors added to the charm. We needed a hearty breakfast and we got what we needed. The blueberry pancakes were huge and fluffy and full of blueberries. The French toast was good. The omelet with bacon and cheddar was well cooked. The potatoes were just ok, a little dry, but it's ok because I was full after the omelet anyways. Coffee was fresh and refilled quickly. Service was friendly. The place was rather full so we did wait a bit but it's ok because we enjoyed relaxing and hanging out. Definitely will come back again when we are int h As a reminder - this place is cash only but there is an ATM inside.

    There is no finer chocolate shake. One size is sort of medium. Homemade ice cream. Try the chocolate. They must add syrup because it's divine. Will run you $8 plus tip. Open until 2 or so most days call ahead. Nick the original proprietor is now gone after beginning this Riverhead downtown favorite but his family carries on with the same old fashioned luncheonette / homemade ice cream tradition.

    Star confectionery is a great local spot. The owner Anthony I believe does most of the cooking himself, talk about quality control, lol! Some say breakfast is breakfast but I disagree they do it very well here and anyone who's had a doughy bad pancake knows what I'm talking about. I'm a big fan of the little sausages and I asked for a dark toasted English muffin and got it that way. I can't tell you all the times I get a soggy half toasted mess. Any way if you want to step back in time this is your place. Enjoy in good health.

    Still the best breakfast or lunch in the North Fork. Tuna melt was tops. Pancakes were perfect and never, EVER get service without a friendly greeting from Anthony and staff. Thumbs up!

    Decent food, slow but friendly service. The restaurant has a nice local vibe and the menu has something for everyone. Avocado BLT, hot dog, & turkey sandwich all were good. I think the kids like the hot cocoa best though. Definitely a solid post-aquarium spot.

    This is one of those secret neighborhood gems that no one wants to get the word out. Star Confectionery is a quaint luncheonette that makes homemade ice cream, homemade lemonade, you get my vibe. Norman Rockwell would get inspiration from this luncheonette on Main St Riverhead. All this sounds great! The "Confectionery" of Star Confectionery, is why I'm here. For Years, I always swing by, too close to Easter to pick up a chocolate bunny for my wife. And every year I'm told, nope. your too late. Dang! Well, I stopped in April Fools Day to get a chocolate bunny for Easter 2019. Neighborhood people have been coming here for decades and have fond memories of Star Confectionery chocolate in their Easter Baskets. The proprietor makes these treats for because he knows it brings joy to his customers. And don't think your gonna rush in and bite off the bunny ears. The bunnies made here are SOLID milk chocolate! None of this hollow nonsense, they pour their homemade chocolate into a bunny mold made 50+ years ago. I grabbed two bunnies: One Milk Chocolate and One Dark Chocolate. The dark bunny, man.. I cut that sucka up the second we walked in the door to get chocolate wasted. Just some old school chocolate being made at Star Confectionery. If you want something different, buy a chocolate Bunny at Star Confectionery. They make a limited amount of bunnies, this is old school chocolate at its finest. A true Long Island gem.

    Great little place. Fun people. I recommend. All the salad sandwiches (egg, chicken) were amazing.

    Clueless, nasty, disorganized, takes forever to get anything. Time for a new owner.

    First time here and as others have pointed out the place is small. The furniture is right out of…read morethe 1950s. Decor seems to be a tribute to Dale Earnhardt. A regular spot for the locals, most of whom looked to be in their sixties or seventies. And probably not too fussy about what they are served. Food is unbelievably cheap and rather tasty. Service was quick. I must say I did enjoy my meal. However, the bathroom is a disaster. The paper towel dispenser is rusted and should have been replaced years ago. Dingy looking with cheesy signs telling people to use the brush to clean the toilet if they make a mess. Doesn't look like the room had been cleaned regularly. Made me question how clean the kitchen might be The biggest gripe I had concerned the decaf I ordered. Nothing to me can ruin a nice meal more than old coffee and this was definitely old stuff. When the waitperson came around to refill, I declined and asked if she could make a new pot. She had to confer with the cook (owner?) first. There was less than 20% in the pot. I have never been turned down in all my years of dining out. The ratings plummeted after this.

    I've been coming here for almost a decade for breakfast and hope to come for decades more!…read more The proprietor Lolly is a no BS not PC owner and I love every minute of it! It's a true greasy spoon and the ambience has a nostalgic feel of the favorite moments in the past and fun new memories from the present. Food is always made to order, hot and fresh and you are not encouraged to just sit there and occupy a table if you are not eating and I appreciate that as that makes the wait time for a table not too long! But get here before 9am on a summer weekend if you really want to grab a quick bite and go before the crowd gets there!

    My wife and I were meeting a friend who lives in Laurel for dinner. We researched local restaurants…read moreand came across the Watershed Kitchen and Inn on OpenTable. The description of the restaurant, the menus and the reviews online made us to decide to give them a try. We're so glad that we did! We entered through the bar entrance which was lively but not crazy loud. There was a musician setting up in one corner of the bar area. We could hear him during our dinner but it was not at all distracting (and he was quite good). We were greeted by one of the hosts (who I now believe may be one of the owners). We were welcomed and escorted to a table in the dining room right behind the bar area. From what I could determine, there were at least two other dining areas and an outside dining area (for dining during the nicer weather). Our server quickly came to welcome us, ask if we had questions about the menu / specials and to take our drink order. She was attentive, pleasant and was able to quickly and accurately answer questions that we had (we have some dietary restrictions and needed to verify some ingredients. She knew immediately what we could order to dine safely. We started our order with the Chiccharon appetizer. I had anticipated that the item would be traditional crispy Chiccaron. Instead the dish was more of a pork belly in a broth. We actually enjoyed that much more! It was plentiful, cooked to perfection and flavorful. For dinner my wife and our friend ordered the sea bass special. They both thought it was plentiful, perfectly prepared and tasted great. I ordered the pork chop with spicy cherry peppers in a light evoo broth. I told our server that I wasn't eating potatoes or rice and asked for a recommendation for a substitute. She recommended the broccolini which was a perfect alternative. My pork chop was served perfectly (medium, juicy,) and was huge! We passed on dessert but the options looked amazing. We will absolutely be back again SOON. Thank you.

There was a hair in it (I've worked in a restaurant before so I was extremely understanding about that). I sent it back for a new one and they took it off the bill without me asking. My husband ordered the burger and he devoured it. The truffle fries are a must. Last time they had a better more varied beer selection. This time they only had one IPA on tap but it was good. Overall a great experience and I'd come back again!
