Airplane themed dining area
Sean M.

I've seen reviews that complain about how it's "dirty" here because there are dirty dishes stacked in walkway to the restroom. It's not like they're stacking these dishes in the bathroom or near tables to be used for dining. The vibe here is super pleasant. I love the airport theme with model planes hung about the dining area. There isn't a whole lot of seating, so it gets packed fast, even on a weekday like when I went with my family. There is plenty of parking, though, so no worries about that. The service is fantastic. They have friendly personalities and are attentive. You could tell they got to know their regulars. The food was delicious and plentiful. There were so many options to choose from that I was afraid I'd regret my selection. Having sampled around my table, I can say with confidence that probably everything here tastes great. The hash browns were crisp, and the omelets were cooked perfectly. Definitely worth the prices!

Peach Cobbler Stuffed French Toast, with eggs and bacon

I just had the best, most decadent, breakfast I've ever had. StarDuster Cafe is a small, nondescript blue building next to the Independence Airport. There are maybe ten tables inside, and all have a great view of airplanes right outside the window. There is outdoor seating, as well, but since we were there in the winter time, they were not in use. Service was very good. The staff was quick and attentive. We were there for brunch. My wife picked the Banana Foster Pancakes, and I ordered Peach Crisp Stuffed French Toast. The plates arrived, and both looked delicious. They both came with eggs and choice of meat (bacon, ham, or sausage). The banana foster pancakes were very good. Then, we tasted the peach french toast. OMG! They were amazing! I know what I'm ordering next time we go here. They were so good that we asked the staff to make sure they weren't just a seasonal special.

1st time here! Had to try and few staples I enjoy. Biscuits & Gravy & Cornbeef Hash (homemade) Gravy was different and good. It had what I can only think was small dough balls from biscuit batter but I never asked. Wasn't the best Gravy but was good. It gave me some ideas for maybe future breakfast at home. The homemade cornbread & hash was wonderful!! With onions and peppers oh my!!! With a view of plans taking off how fun!! My server was polite and very knowledgeable. Big shout out to Taya! Thanks

Breakfast overlooking the runway

If you adore small town diners like I do, you'll love Starduster! It's a little spot off the runway in the town of Independence. Whether you're in the mood for breakfast or lunch, they've got a bit of everything on the menu, something for everyone in your party. Timing is everything, as they were pretty packed when I arrived with standing room only waiting, thought there's a bench outside. Time flies (pardon the pun) while you're waiting for your order and watching planes take off. I enjoyed a light omelet with hash browns while my companion had the brisket quesadilla, which was incredible! We resisted the cinnamon rolls as big as our heads, this time. Maybe next time I'll go for the homemade corned beef, or fluffy pancakes, or will I try their onions rings? The possibilities are endless.

From the interior to the exterior, from the inlets to the pancakes, this place is wonderful! Super tasty food and excellent service. It would be a crime if you did not go here.

Kids airplane pancake breakfast

Fantastic food! Generous portions and cute atmosphere especially for kids! I had the veggie breakfast scramble and it was 10/10, It was so much food ate the other half for dinner that night!

We stopped in here for breakfast on a Thursday morning. We really like the small diner field that this place had. It was very cozy and unique. The food was great had buttermilk pancakes and bacon and eggs and they were awesome. My kids got chocolate chip pancakes and they really loved it also. Service was good atmosphere was good. Definitely recommend.

An absolute must stop if you are visiting Independence. The starduster has delicious food and has a fun atmosphere. I've only been a couple times but each time I go I always think " I need to come here more often". It's a special treat if you happen to be there while the planes are taking off.
