    First time dining here. I was in the mood for something different. I've driven by here a couple of times and was curious about it. I went with the Mac Daddy chicken sandwich combo. Although I chose to take mine today, the dining room was small but nice. What stood out to me was the lady working the counter. She was so friendly, welcoming and nice. She made me feel right at home. The fries were incredible! Best I've had in a long time. I was disappointed in the chicken sandwich. It was drowning in thousand island. In fact, all I could taste was the thousand island dressing. I would recommend they put it on the side and let the customer decide how much. It kind of ruined it for me. They were really pushing their breakfast items, so I got the impression that may be more their forte. If I came back, that what I'd be willing to try. I'm not really sure I'd come back for the other items on the menu.

    Food was pretty good. I give it a 4 out of 5 stars. Our eggs were a bit runny even for a wrap and omelette. But the price was great and taste was there!

    Cute little restaurant. Friendly service. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. Give it a try.

    Can't order or see menu through drive-thru. No menus were posted online either. The food has been really good in the past. First time trying the new menu.

    Philly Steak
    Kelly L.

    Stopped by on a Saturday early evening with 2 others. It was empty at the time we arrived but people slowly trickled in as it got closer to dinner time. The service was great - the server/cashier was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the Philly Steak and a Red Bull Slushie. The sandwich was solid. I especially loved each of the toppings (mushroom, onions, peppers). It wasn't the best Philly I've had but tasted pretty good. The drink was alright. I needed an energy kick and wanted to try it. Can't expect much. Half a can of Original Red Bull mixed with shaved ice. They gave me the other half of the Red Bull which was appreciated. I suggest they offer more flavors and sugar free options of Red Bull as my friend wanted to try it too, but she only drinks sugar-free. Overall, we had a good experience. The food wasn't outstanding, but it was good. I would recommend trying the Philly Steak. In the future, I'd love to try more menu items when I'm back in town. Prices are reasonable! Parking: Free parking lot at the restaurant!

    Service was friendly and nice. Food was hot and fresh, not long of a wait. The inside was nice and warming. First time trying it and would definitely come back!

    Gyro combo
    Bree S.

    Very friendly staff, gave us the rundown on menu options. They have breakfast & lunch available. We arrived around 2 so we opted for lunch. The recommendations for top sellers were #1 Chicken sandwich combo & #10 Gyro combo. The chicken was good size, breaded & fried with cheese sauce. I added pickle & lettuce with tater tots. The gyro was a perfect portion of lamb, feta, diced tomatoes, lettuce & tzatziki sauce. Fries & tots were amazing. My only suggestion is to change from Pepsi to Coke products lol

    I used to get wraps like this in high school, so they're probably getting some points for nostalgia, but the two times I've been here the food has been good and appropriately fresh, and I appreciate the drive-up window option for COVID safety. I don't go this way that much, but it's an excellent option for a quick stop for lunch.

    I am so glad I found this hidden and local treasure in Columbus! The food is delicious and freshly prepared!! The staff is super nice and kind! Their owner is friendly to the customers and the staff! You can tell they love what they do! You should definitely give it try!! They are now on my top 5 places in Columbus! *The pasta was another visit I made for dinner after work I told you am excited about them!

    Chicken Little with fries
    Laura F.

    After driving to Circleville in hopes of finding some gem or a local restaurant and finding nothing that interested us, we returned to Columbus, starving and this was the first place we saw that we hadnt been to.... So we said yes to the experience of Star Kitchen. Let me start out: this place is well managed and the food is a very good value. You get a lot for your money. The staff has the energy that makes you feel they really care about the place, food and their service. It is clean: dining room, kitchen, bathroom. Staff was friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. You order from an overhead menu at the counter (much like a McDonalds) but after you order they bring it out to you. We ordered a Marion Village and a Chicken Little w/fries. Omg. The fries are the star of the show. Yum. You want fries that have a little bit of crisp to them, but aren't over cooked or burnt.... Go here! They even have a drive thru. If you like salt you need to ask for it. They come without and honestly don't need it. That good!!!! The Marion Village is essentially their take on a gyro. It had grilled peppers/onions which trad gyros dont have. Lots of feta. The meat was generous, tender, not dry at all. The tomatoes were fresh. It had a sauce but it was not Taziki, not sure what it was but it was okay. Like I said, its their take on a gyro. I got the Chicken Little... solely because it was grilled chicken. That is a regular sized wrap with chicken, iceburg lettuce, cheese and dressing. The cheese was a liquid whiz type of cheese. I did not enjoy that element. I found the chicken not to be seasoned. For me the sandwich flavor didn't work. However every element was fresh it was merely personal preference that I didn't like the menu item. I saved half of it and when I get home will put franks wing sauce on it and I bet I love it. I should of ordered the Marion Village with chicken vs gyro meat. Imo, that would be the perfect sammy there.

    This is a new restaurant in our area and I really wanted to try it. The food was really fresh and delicious. I enjoyed my salad a lot. My husband had the special of the day which was a roast beef sandwich. I had a bite of it and it had an amazing flavor and the bun had a delightful crunch. His meal was probably the better choice. The restaurant was very neat and clean. Order at the counter and then your food is brought out to the table. Pretty quick service overall. I will definitely go back as I would like to try their breakfast.

Over the years ordering has gone from calling and placing the order with someone from the restaurant, to just going online and doing it. It's so simple and easy! One of the things that keeps us coming back again and again is the convenience. Over a 15 year time span, I think they have messed up our order maybe 3 times. Not a bad record considering how busy they are all the time. Also, our food is always ready when we arrive. We never have to wait on it and the waitress checks the order before we leave. As for the food, it's always consistently delicious. Their wings, pizzas, subs, quesadillas, burgers, dumpster fries, all fantastic. We always have leftovers and we are never disappointed with our visit. We avoid eating inside mainly because this location, like pretty much every Rooster's location, is always packed. It's a small restaurant with limited tables, so there is usually a wait time. And the parking here is atrocious. They have a small lot for about seven cars and if you miss out on those spots, you have to drive around looking for street parking. Not ideal! As for my hubby and I, we will continue to order from them every Friday, probably until the end of time. The pros far outweigh the cons, so if you are in the mood for delicious food and a lively atmosphere, this is the place to visit!!

They seem smaller thanI remember, but again it's been decades. And they were still excellent. They are essentially what I remember. Perfect combination of textures and flavors, served hot. They brought a collection of sauces to the table, but you don't really need any. So so good. I got wings too, because they looked good. They were out of one of the sauces I wanted, because they make the sauces from scratch. And the one I wanted, had raspberries in it and it's not raspberry season. I went with spicy peach, not very spicy,but very flavorful. Very peachy. The wings were meaty, juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. 6 of them and 6 kraut balls was plenty for me for lunch. Service was excellent. Prices are pretty darn good. The place was cozy. It was not at all busy at two on a weekday afternoon. It gets busy at peak, of course. I will keep it in mind since I am in the area more.
