Took my son to Stardust Diner for his birthday breakfast--he'd been asking to go for months. First time there, and definitely the last. He ended up with food poisoning from the meal. Vomiting, headache, sick all day on what was supposed to be a celebration. I called and was told the manager would follow up the next morning. No one ever did. No refund, no apology--just silence. I wasn't going to write a review. I gave them the chance to do the right thing. They didn't. Now everyone should know. This place clearly doesn't take food safety--or customer care--seriously. read more

Been coming here for over 7 years according to my yelp profile. No disappointment on service and food. That being said weekends expect a 20 plus minute wait. read more

I have frequented this restaurant for several years and have always enjoyed the service, food, and atmosphere. However, my visit yesterday was a major disappointment. The server, I didn't get his name, but he had an unmistakable handlebar style mustache, seemed a bit put off waiting on customers. He was impatient, borderline rude with snide comments, and very inattentive. It wasn't even that busy! As far as the food went - I ordered a BLT with tots. I wanted potato salad, but our server said it was seasonal and then commented about how potatoes are not in season, so I had to order fries or tots - umm, those are also made from potatoes... The BLT was on very thin and droopy lightly toasted bread with a dollop of mayo squirted right in the middle then lettuce, tomato, and the bacon stacked in a pile square int eh middle - not evenly spread out but just a big glob in the middle. The flimsy bread didn't hold up, and the bacon seemed like they cooked it twice for a desert dryness effect. The tots very over cooked. In fact, i got the impression that they were left over from the day before and refried a second time then served. Nothing like biting into a over crisped potato flavored grease sponge! I would have said something during my visit, but we were with family members, and I didn't want to create a scene with them there. I will likely go back, and most of the time I would recommend this restaurant, but if I happen to see that server I won't be sitting in his section. read more

Love coming here because there is so much variety on their menu. The server was very nice and got us our food quickly. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and added mushrooms. Husband got a burger and my toddler got French toast. Food was delicious and the shake at the end was even better! The music was a little loud but it's a diner so it makes sense. read more

We have been going here for at least a decade, and we will not be back. My husband ordered the BLT, and the bacon was burnt. So, the meal went back. And, when he got his meal back, the bacon was soooo greasy, and wayyy tooo much mayonnaise, it was spilling on his wrist and on his hands. The service overall was mediocre. Again, we will not be back. read more

Ordered chicken fried steak-I believe it came over on the mayflower.(yes it was that old) hashbrowns were cold, so was the eggs { hashbrowns were very greasy}. The toast was cold and was more like bread, not even toasted. We also ordered the hamburger and fries. Burger was luke warm and so were the fires. This used to be one of our favorite places to have breakfast. It also took forever to get waited on and served. The return air vents looked like there was cotton growing on them.(never been cleaned-wonder if the kitchen is the same way?) Was never ask how our meal was. Will not go back and will not recommend this place to eat. read more

Comfort food with Friendly service. Was crowded around the lunch hour on a weekday but we were seated quickly.

BREAKFAST WAS AMAZING Laughter and deliciousness ensued when my nephew feasted on chocolate chip pancakes and a milkshake (oops, but still yummy!). My cousin had a massive French toast (score for the price!), and I ordered the kid's size, perfect for my Ozempic diet. THANK YOU Plus, the server was a hoot! He suggested my cousin try the French toast, and she devoured it (a rarity since having kids). Her husband had pancakes eggs and bacons and my 2nd nephew ate from his plate. He loved it!! Yummy sausage and potatoes, The ambiance was reminiscent of a quaint California diner, making us feel at home in Vancouver. We'll be back for more laughs and yums! read more

They have rats. Running out from the booths. There are flies EVERYWHERE. No one wears gloves including the kitchen staff. The entire restaurant is dirty and there is trash everywhere. Terrible service, servers do not talk to customers apart from once to take an order, and they don't follow health code. There was a piece of hair in my sister's food and if I had to guess, it came from our server (Bree) who had her very long hair down. The place is run by kids and there is never a manager present. Food is mediocre at best. Terrible health inspection results. https://clark.wa.gov/public-health/restaurant-inspection/detail/FA0001112/PR0007005 read more

OMG finally a place that you can have a nice yummy breakfast without breaking your bank. The service was just beyond expectation. The servers were very friendly and attentive. Always making sure our cups were filled with coffee. The nostalgic ambience completes the experience. Highly recommended!!!!!! read more

Um. The food is good, but they have a cleanliness problem so huge that I can't eat there ever again unless it gets a DEEP, deep clean. The prices are good, the staff young (but hustling) and it's always crowded. My husband had the meat lovers omelette and couldn't find fault with it. I had a mushroom burger with added grilled onions. There was so much pickle juice that my bun was a soggy, inedible mess. My straight on view of the filth just made me feel so grossed out and killed my appetite. Somebody please, please clean this place. read more

It's a solid 5! Go for the nostalgia, leave happy and full. 50s diners feel, including the menu layout. Been here a few times. Ate lunch/breakfast here yesterday. A few people ahead of us, but this is always a busy. The staff are amazing-- always bustling around, waiting on customers refilling coffees and drinks, taking orders, and working hard. Had the banana pancakes, which comes with three huge pancakes. Upgraded to add an egg and two sausage links. The links are pretty substantial, not the skinny stick ones you usually see. Thiccc bacon. Great family place. Some of the tables have cd jukeboxes you can put money in and play. If you like a down-home country cooking feel type of café, with 50s malt shop decor, this is your place. read more

What a nice place to relax and have a good meal. This diner is more than their delicious food. The Moment you enter you're surrounded by memories of a gentler time. A retro look and feel that is more than decor but actually being in a diner from a long time ago. The food was fantastic as usual. Everything came out hot and fresh. The menu is quite diverse from amazing breakfast with chicken fried steak and tasty biscuits and gravy. A full lunch and dinner menu provides a full day of great eating. What I like about Stardust Diner is that it's such a great experience and they have managed to keep prices affordable. I believe that this husband and wife team and amazing staff have built something beautiful. I hope it continues for a long time. read more

Been coming here for years! Our go to for breakfast!! Had family that came in from New Jersey today and took them to breakfast. They were impressed and had breakfast burritos and we had our stand by Senior pancake breakfast and French toast. The customer service is always spot on and food never disappoints. Great job guys. Heading back for breakfast in a few days with friends. It's fun to take a step back in time with the 60's decor. read more

Long years ago, when I lived on the East Coast, I frequently ate at diners, made out of shiny aluminum railway dining cars. It's not as common as the movie cliché would lead you to believe, but it's still very much a thing. When the Stardust Diner opened, I was living pretty close -- close enough to walk over once every few weeks. We jokingly called it "the Silver Bullet" due to the affectation of diners from ages past. And you know... It's very good. Much more than you would expect, given the breadth of the menu. The thing that usually pulls me in on any given day is the "Redneck Benedict". Can you take a large biscuit, split it in half instead of the English muffin. On that, place, two pieces of chicken fried steak, upon which you place the poached eggs, and then cover it with savory cream gravy. Add a side of potatoes, and you're good to go. Oh. Except you probably want a piece of chocolate cream pie after. Highly recommended. read more

Yesterday's visit, 2/25/26, to the Stardust Diner was very disappointing. My husband's sandwich was a joke. All items slapped straight in the middle, bread was not toasted enough which made the whole thing soggy. The tater tots were way over cooked and tasted old. The worst thing of all was the rude waiter!! He definitely didn't want to be there and we wished he hadn't been!! read more

So great!!!! Sunday am after yoga, we had to wait a bit outside but it was fine bc we needed to catch up and it was a beautiful abd sunny day. I had the Corned beef hash w poached eggs, homefries and rye toast. It was delicious, big portion and hot and fresh. Go!!! read more

Stardust Diner - Redneck Benedict and Steak skillet - American Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I had a decent experience here, however the service was a little rough. It took a while to be seated and for someone to take our order. The waitress also forgot to put in one of our items. Other than that the food was good. We had the steak and eggs and chicken and waffles. However the eggs were gross. It definitely had that diner feel. So if you're looking for a diner experience I would recommend it, but if you're looking for quality food maybe not. read more

Wow! We have been here for breakfast before and it was amazing but tonight we went to finally try dinner and let's just say the entire thing was phenomenal. Not only was the food great and huge portions but the service from Leonard was exceptional! He was super attentive, and just a breath of fresh air. My fiancé got the King Kong chicken fried steak dinner and it was ginormous, I got the fried chicken dinner and it exceeded my expectations in all aspects, we also had onion rings as an appetizer which were delicious. Next time we will definitely try to save some room to try their desserts. If you ever are contemplating trying this place just do it! read more

I know this restaurant is a favorite of a lot of people, so this may not be a popular review. I have had two subpar meals here within the last six months, and I am fairly certain that I will not be back again. I will start with the seating. The one time we were seated in a booth was ok, but the table was filthy with cup rings and we had to ask for it to be wiped down. The other two times we were there, we were sat in the smaller tables where you are squished in with other parties you may not be familiar with. Those seats are super uncomfortable. And the last time we were there we were asked to move to a different table so a larger party could be sat in our area. The food....the only thing I enjoyed was my pancake from one of the meals. I wanted to enjoy my side salad, however the blue cheese dressing tasted like ranch and was super runny. I got tater tots with a French dip and almost laughed at the number of tots, it seriously looked like a half order. My French dip was the regular roast beef (not prime rib) and was sparse on the meat that all I could taste was the gummy roll. My omelette was very greasy and the mushrooms were so slimy that I picked them out. Just all around a waste of time for us. Great place for pancakes tho since the restaurant up the street closed down. read more

Classic American Diner. Food just okay. Way too salty for my taste, but all the people in here seems to be enjoying their food. I got the Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce. Surprised to find the mashed potatoes were real! Not that powdered or flakes. Turkey was dry but since the gravy was so salty, it didn't help the dryness. My mother in law used to love this place. I don't think I would return unless it's just for dessert. read more

Waited almost 15 minutes for our server, even asking two other servers to let our know we were ready. He our server finally arrived, he looked very annoyed and his actions reflected it. After our meal i asked the woman at the register if she was the manager. She hesitated and replied, "Just for the evening." It was obvious she wasn't interested in hearing about anything. As we walked out the door I looked over my shoulder to see standing together and chuckling. read more

This is a perfect example of the modified 40s and 50s retro diner as they've been laid out across the U.S. beginning in the 70s exuding the stylized and modernistic train car effect. With steel and chrome and glass, plenty of colorful vinyl seats, mica countertops, period glassware, and the ubiquitous juke box. While recently visiting the City of Vancouver, the family (of outrageous eaters) and I recently decided to visit Stardust Diner for their extensive breakfast offers and were not disappointed in the least. This is a busy place, especially weekend mornings - but it did not hamper the courteous and attentive service we received! All around the table, after being served everyone's meals there seemed a hush not known in my family crowd, they were too busy chomping away at every morsel placed before them, devouring everything on the plate as if it were their last meal! A perfect correlation showing how good it all had been. I had the opportunity to taste some portions of the orders on the table and can justify their actions. From the chicken-fried steak and eggs and a huge variety of pancakes to a multitude of bacon, egg, hash, and potato styles as well as French Toasts. I personally decided on their Redneck Benedict - really, really good, anyone who loves Benedicts should try it (one of the most distinctive I've ever savored. All-in-all, Stardust stands as one my top 50 American Diners in the Country. Keep it up Guys! read more

The retro feel is fun idea! Although the service was a bit lacking. Slow service and took some time to get the check. I ordered the Biscuits and gravy with eggs and bacon. It was ok, nothing to write home about but it did it's job and made me full. My mom got the meatloaf and it was not good. Very dry and the gravy tasted like something instant out of a bag with a very gloopy texture. It also came with mashed potatoes and green beans. Mashed potatoes tasted like instant and the green beans tasted frozen. You could squeeze water out of them. I also noticed the floor looked really dirty and needs a good scrub. I wouldn't be excited about eating here again. read more

Have to admit, this place is our go to for breakfast. It is busy, wait time can be 15-20 min but its worth it. What really impresses me is that the owner hires mainly young people and there are plenty. They work hard, are friendly and appear to enjoy their work. read more

I took a seat at the counter since there weren't any available tables upon my arrival. The diner is a classic with mini juke boxes at each table. I was acknowledged immediately and was presented a menu while being asked if I would like a beverage. I asked for coffee and it was brought to me right away. I was offered cream which I accepted. The coffee was hot and fresh although the coffee mug was very small which I thought was odd for a breakfast spot. I had it refilled 3 times. I ordered the pancake breakfast with sausage patties and added 2 over easy eggs. My order arrived in about 10 minutes and was delivered hot. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The pancake syrup consistency was very thin, almost watery. I'm used to pancake syrup being much thicker in consistency. The syrup lacked flavor so perhaps it was watered down a bit or they just purchased a lower price/low quality pancake syrup. Overall service was friendly and attentive. I would recommend the diner but would not recommend the pancakes because of the inferior pancake syrup. read more

What a great greasy spoon restaurant and I say that with admiration. When I was a child my father would once a month take us out for breakfast to what we called a greasy spoon ( term for what I feel represents a fifty's truck stop diner ). Let me say very many fond memories and some of the best breakfast food I ever had. The ambiance was right on spot even some tables still had the table side juke boxes in them. The service was great, food was great, and still can't believe our bill for two was less then $25. We will definitely be back. read more

The Stardust diner seated us fairly quickly. It was a retro back to Nostalgia with Rio working small jukeboxes at the window tables. We put two dollars in there and got seven songs and before we were done, we were able to listen to five of the seven songs. It wasn't easy to hear the music because the restaurant itself was a little loud. The food was really good and the service was really good. I had to recommend coming to this place. read more

Nostalgia seekers look no further. I don't remember what Ruby's Diner tasted like but the chrome and 50's memorabilia were a dead ringer for the interior decorating. It's also a huge attractor for families on Sundays so plan accordingly if you're rushing. I think we waited for about 30 minutes for two. It was late morning almost noon but they were still honoring the breakfast specials. We ordered the steak skillet scrambled and the two egg over medium with hash browns and wheat toast. Ask for it dry if you don't want bread heavy with butter. Everything was perfectly ok. Nothing outstanding. Just purely ok on every level. The service is outstanding. They check on everyone regularly and the staff seemed very cheerful. I wish I were that cheerful all the time. Well, maybe someday. :) read more
