I stayed at Staybridge Suites in Allentown, and the diner (fortunately open 24/7) was only two blocks away. The menu is a throwback to the 60's and 70's, lol. I was gobsmacked to see "Liver and Onion," which was the bane of my childhood. Yuck! I asked whether people actually ordered it, and apparently it's quite popular. Amazing. There are NO gluten-free bread, pasta, or baked dessert items. So I ordered a Monterey Chicken Sandwich with no bread, and a side of fruit salad, to go. Got back to the hotel, and there was a very thin piece of chicken breast topped with a huge piece of ham and melted cheese, accompanied by naked lettuce, tomato, and a slice of onion. Sigh. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. And there was no fruit salad. I called them and said that I didn't get it, and could I please pick it up in the morning? They very graciously said yes. Looked at my receipt, and no side was listed. That's why I didn't get it--he didn't note the order. I didn't want fries because I had some at lunch. This is a real middle-America diner. Nothing fancy, except the desserts, which looked incredibly delicious and made me sad. The salad bar was kind of scary. Lots of goopy things drenched in white stuff. Not a lot of healthy raw veggies, although there were empty bins that may have held them earlier. It's a nicely-decorated place, and they have GNOMES!! I didn't go in the lounge area, since I just got takeout and went back to the hotel. Service was very nice, polite, and friendly. read more

Adorable diner! We stopped in around 9 PM while traveling through PA, and everyone we encountered -- from the hostess to the waitress -- was incredibly polite and welcoming. The food was classic diner fare. I ordered the BLT, which was a little smaller than expected but still tasty, and it came with a pickle and a side of Lay's potato chips. My boyfriend had one of their paninis with fries, and the fries were perfectly crispy! We didn't try the salad bar, but it looked clean and well-stocked when we walked by. read more

Starlite Diner - Dining area - Diners Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

I would NOT go here again. How can you mess up breakfast? The service was average at best, the food quality was poor and the atmosphere is like a 70 year old casino. It's accessible to many of the major roads, has plenty of parking so I can see why the location gets business. I would not return. The shocking thing is in this area there is only one decent breakfast place and it was closed on Monday... so you'd think a second GOOD breakfast option would be a NICE alternative ! Oh well. This place needs Gordon Ramsey read more

Great food! We were in town for a wedding and wanted to hit up a local diner! We got the croissant breakfast sandwich, omelet, and pancakes. We got the short stack of two pancakes, but the pancakes were absolutely humongous so we could've just gotten one and been happy. Awesome service and vibes with the aquarium, definitely a diner to hit up! read more

Everything was good. We had a server that was clearly working hard and she had no help. She was great. I have patience so it was ok. The food was great and my family enjoyed everything. Definitely a diner that I would visit again. The restaurant was nice and there was a bar area and plenty of seating. read more

Beautiful diner and decor. We stopped here for lunch. Nice menu, friendly waitress. We ordered an albacore tuna melt with fries, a burger with cup of soup and fruit salad. Did not ask how I liked my burger, it came out dry and chewy and very well done. The cream of cheesesteak was very good. The fruit salad tasted old and not sweet. The tuna melt good, but not albacore in taste, texture or color. The fries very good and crunchy. Not the best lunch we had but we were hungry and ate what we could. read more

The server was very attentive and super nice. The atmosphere was very home feeling. It was nostalgic to go back to this place after I moved several years ago out of PA. The food was just okay. My fries were great but my wings were a little overcooked and ended up being a bit dry. I loved the little jukebox at the tables. Been a long time since I've seen that! read more

Starlite Diner - Diners Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

Starlite is your average fare diner. We went for breakfast. Good, but nothing over the top. Our service was excellent though, so that's why I gave it four stars. The restaurant was very spacious and clean. So if you're hungry and just need some food it works but if you're looking for creative and unique it may leave you searching. read more

While traveling to Florida we stumbled upon the Starlite Diner. What a wonderful place for breakfast. The food was delicious with the eggs cooked perfectly, bacon plentiful and staff pleasant. Of course great owner Ray who went above and beyond for us. read more

So I work driving big rigs and I call ahead to go pick up my food before I get to my truck because I can quite get to the diner in a truck. I Called three times and someone finally answered just to put me on hold for 30 mins. I hung up and called 7 times and no answer. I finally drove up there and there were about 5 employees doing nothing. I didn't even order anything because by this point I didn't have the time to wait for my food to be made. It sucks because as a truck driver we don't have very many options for food at the hours of 10pm to midnight. I just wanted to see how busy it was.... It wasn't. Horrible customer service. And before people say I can make my food at home, must not know the trucking business. Most times I have mere hours to sleep and so I get what I can. read more

Crab Cakes were delicious and very good when served fresh. Atlantic Haddock and Rice Pilaf were good. French fries were so good with broiled haddock on another day. Salmon was very good, mashed potatoes were good with salmon. Tried Shrimp Scampi with Linguine pasta once. Brother enjoyed Monterey Chicken, and Salmon with Rice. Pumpkin cheesecake was good, tapioca pudding was okay. They used to serve a delicious chocolate ice cream; not sure what brand it was or if they still serve it. read more

I always stop in on our road trip by here. A solid selection of awesome food. Clean. Quality. Diner yum

Loved it. Fast service. Convenient location. Great diner food. They had a large menu with something for everyone. A little dated but kept clean which is all that matters minus the great food. Had the hot cakes (perfect) and the Taylor ham breakfast sandwich (also perfect). Home fries are a little different than I'm used to but still tasty. Will stop again when back in PA. read more

Awesome diner! Staff is super freindly, polite, and professional! Menu is extensive - pretty much anything a person could want - even in the middle of the night! The food is delicious and very fairly priced.. The salad bar always has fresh ingredients.. And the place is super clean!! From the outside to the tables to the bathrooms!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DINER!!! FIVE STARS!!! read more

Stopped here with my family on a road trip. Tasty food ("world class pancakes" according to my son), very friendly and quick service. Would recommend! read more

Food is great. Service was not good. We started off wanting a Diet Coke, we didn't know it was Pepsi products. Waitress brought us back a Diet Pepsi, so we requested a juice instead. She went back and muttered something about how too many people are asking for diet today... we got an apple juice, there was floating pieces at the bottom. Asked for a water, received no apology, just annoyance. The food is solid, though. There was however, a hair in my fries. At this point of the meal, I didn't even complain. I didn't want to upset our waitress even more. Probably won't come back but shout out to the chefs and that dang chicken parm. read more

I got a steak and cheese wrap. It was very good. I really like the diner style restaurants. Tye service was great. I recommend it to everyone. Stop on in and see for yourself. read more

The portions were extremely small and the staff was not friendly. The diner was clean though.

The Starlite is clean with a kind, professional, and very active wait staff. If you are concerned about using a salad bar post-COVID, they not only offer hand sanitizer, but an employee keeps the entire area clean - by the second. (In that salad bar, they have their own freshly made carrot salad, which is the best I have had since Bamburger's in Newark, New Jersey - some 30 years ago.) I have never been to a diner that made salmon so perfectly! It was light, fresh, and not over-cooked. The bartender even crafted an excellent martini. And the tiramisu cake as well as the limoncello were fantastic and not overly sweet. This is my new favorite diner and I cannot wait to go back! read more

I love diners and this one did not disappoint. From the friendly, attentive service to the totally yummy soup and salad bar (I'd go every week just for that) to the generous serving sizes of the entrees, it was all fantastic. One hint, if you order the turkey (yummy!), ask for brown gravy. It was a better match, in my opinion, than the turkey gravy. Next time we're in PA, we'll be back to eat at Starlite. read more

We were recently on a road trip through PA on our way to NJ. This diner is a great place to grab a yummy meal. Ana provided great service with a warm smile. My husband enjoyed his grilled ham and cheese with a pickle and chips. My chicken tenders were fresh and crispy. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend if you are in the area! read more

Food good but slow. Eggs Benedict, on special, had been sitting under a heat lamp so long the yolk was solid. No coffee refill for 20 minutes, which wasn't too disappointing since the coffee was old, bitter, and cold, not unlike myself. Unfortunately, like most Allentown-area dining experiences over the past 25 years. However, cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen in any restaurant. read more

I felt it was a standard diner experience with a big menu and old-timey booths. I ordered the open face Reuben and it had the sauerkraut piled super high and not a lot of meat. Fries were fine though. Nothing spectacular and not sure I'd go back. read more

Excellent home-made food; quick, responsive service and a happy, full tummy to boot! The Best Local Diner!

Great family diner.. nice fresh salad bar! Kids menu is perfect! And the regular Menu has the staples with tasty specials. Great food, great value read more

I had a great experience here! First of all, the old school diner atmosphere is GREAT. Giant fish tank, jukeboxes at each booth soooo cool! All employees were friendly. We didn't have to wait at all, there is a lot of seating. Only about 10 minute wait for food. Good coffee, fresh ingredients and nice portions. Price is normal for a diner and worth it for the quality. We all enjoyed our breakfasts. I love that you can exchange a big fruit cup for homefries without extra cost. Bathrooms are clean and pretty nice/upgraded more than I was expecting. We will hit this place more as we head to the Poconos! I would like to try out their lunch/dinner buffet. Update: 8/2/20 - Still a great experience even though they have a smaller menu due to COVID-19. Employees are very kind. As always, food was excellent. read more

This is a very solid diner option located very close to I-78. Our waitress was very kind and patient in answering all of our questions.

This was a great dinner stop on the way home from Hershey Park. read more

worst place ever do not spend your money here i had gotten the ribs and they were super chewy. i had one bite and i asked my waitress to take them off. she talked to her supervisor and they were in the corner glaring at me, giving me the stink eye. she comes over and she says we can't give you a refund since you already took a bite. i asked her to get her manager. the manager comes over and he says the food looks good enough to me. i told him that why don't you eat it and he said i don't wanna take your food. then he proceeded to say he couldn't take it off and he could only give us a discount on that one item and he only said he would take off four dollars until my friend hounded him and he took off $11 $30 meal so the rest of the food was left at the table. everything tasted like shit the waitress she came to our table 2 times. very bad service very very bad food 10/10 do not recommend never go here. if i could rate this zero stars, i would. read more
