    Coffee cups are HUGE! Not like the puny cups you see at many restaurants.
    Mike K.

    After a long hiatus, we have visited the *new* Star twice in the past two weeks. We have not been disappointed either time. I have to say I love the kitchy cowboy motif, it's really cute and the wait staff seems to enjoy their costumes as well, but the decor aside, this is a real Guatemalan find. They have retained many of the American menu items from the old place, but what really shines here are the latin dishes which are just fabulous. Last time I had the breakfast burrito, my wife had the heuvos mexicana, and dad had the bacon and avocado omelette "the best omelette I ever had" he said. This time I had the street tacos, my wife had the huevos again, and dad had the same omelette. Everyone was very happy with their lunch. The tortillas? Home made, amazing. Salsas, same. Guac, same! OMG. I can't wait to come back for a third time! Bravo to the new owners, I hope they succeed here.

    I ordered delivery on a Thursday morning. I ordered biscuits and gravy, a side of hash browns and a side of fried plantains. I'm so disappointed in the first two items. Hash browns: So oily, tasted like margarine. Not even butter but margarine. Weren't crispy and not seasoned well...other than the overwhelming taste of fake butter. I usually wouldn't take a picture of something halfway through eating it, but the amount of oil in the container was startling. It tasted even worse than it looks Biscuits and gravy: I was surprised the sausage in the gravy was in such large chunks, and from a sausage link it appeared as well! Usually sausage is incorporated into gravy more smoothly, this was a sad and lazy attempt at gravy. Putting it through a blender for 5 seconds or using an immersion blender would have yielded a better result. The biscuits are low quality, have no flavor whatsoever and have absolutely no bite in the sense the biscuit is complete mush. Toasting it even for a minute would have been so so so much better. Plantains: plantains were good and the sauce they gave was the usual par for the course with fried plantains. I added a hint of ketchup and tiny amount of garlic to the sauce to make it just like Sol Food's pink sauce. This was the only item I finished

    Service was great, vibes and music were awesome and food was great. Recommend the tacos!

    Standard breakfast - delicious!

    We had just come a memorial for one of our friends at the Presbyterian Church of Novato. We're from Vallejo and don't know Novato at all. Then the Star Restaurant caught our eye with the large bronze statue by its front door. We were intrigued by the "American-Latin" food description. Upon entering, we saw a few people in booths. The lunch crowd hadn't packed the eatery yet, but it's located on a main street at the intersection, so it was only a matter of time before customers would arrive. The interior was decorated with Western decor. I liked the little hole-in-the-wall atmosphere. The tables were covered in neat, white tablecloths and the booth seats were clean and unbroken. Shari was our attentive waitress. If you like homemade tacos and Plantains, this is the restaurant for you! Prices were affordable; if they had a location in Vallejo, we'd probably return. Thank you for the positive experience!

    Under new management, my boyfriend & I decided to try it out. We waited an hour to receive our food. The food wasn't well seasoned, very bland. Overall, the restaurant was clean & bathrooms were nice. Unfortunately we will not be coming back.

    Nice old style diner. I've been here a couple times and it's a good place to get diner style food and service. The last time I went I get the veggie scramble and it was REALLY good. I'm a sucker for a good veggie scramble. Next time I will ask for a little less cheese but it's still good. I also ordered it with a bloody mary and I might skip that one next time. This place gets very popular with the older Novato crowd so sometimes you might get good timing and service and sometimes you might be waiting a while. Keep in mind that every time I've been there its been 1 server and 1 cook. I might be a little generous with the 4 star appraisal as some other reviewers might be much more critical but if you look at it as a home-town local spot with good food and nice people then I think it's appropriate. If your not in a rush, check it out and support an old fashioned style diner!

    We liked our papusa and the horchata and jamaica was bomb and came in huge glasses. We played hangman :) statue outside was a bit weird doe

    Honestly this place is not it... I just took my first bite and my first thought was to right a review... This food is honest very bland and sad. I really hope something changes about this place cuz this shit is just plain out sad.... The energy there ain't even cool either. I've never had servers look at me weird until now. I knew something was off the moment I got there. I waited 40 minutes for a cheese omelette and a chicken fried

    The Burger and Fries are definitely worth the wait! perfectly cooked and crunchy, and the meat is just the right amount of juicy.

    I met up with a friend for lunch at Creekside Bakery and we both left really happy with our meal…read more We sat outside and I appreciated that they had blankets available for guests. I ordered the carrot soup and my friend got the egg salad toast. My soup came in a really generous bowl, so generous that I actually had leftovers to take home. It was comforting and flavorful, and perfect for a lighter meal. I also ordered a lavender latte that was absolutely delicious. For dessert we shared the princess cake, which was definitely the highlight. The whipped cream layer was so light and airy and balanced perfectly with the cake. It wasn't overly sweet. Overall it was a really enjoyable lunch and we both agreed we'd definitely come back to try more things on the menu.

    I saw Creekside Bakery on Bay Area Check Please show and everything looked delicious. On a Saturday…read moremorning, there was a line but went by quick. Breakfast sandwhich with added sausage patty was small but super fresh ingredients and solid. The deviled eggs were different than your usual bbq eggs. Different tasting but good. Japanese milk bread cinnamon roll was light but fluffy in middle. The frosting wasn't too sweet. The princess cake had light cream and super fluffy cake. This was my fave of all the pastries. The caramel sticky bun was good but little too sticky for me. The pistachio/strawberry donut like pastry was good. All of the staff were nice and helpful.
