    Great little piece of history. For sure a local favorite. Very friendly staff, great food with reasonable prices. We went at breakfast and it was a nice, quiet comfortable breakfast.

    We continue to come here almost every week for a great breakfast! Service is always fast and friendly.

    Saturday morning in the height of the busy season for Canyon Lake and we wanted some breakfast. Got a seat at Startz Cafe without much wait at all (although it did seem to fill up while we were there). I had never been to this longstanding staple of the Canyon Lake area, but it was very cool. Definitely has an old school feel to it, and you get the sense most of the staff has been there for years. I sampled the biscuits and gravy and had the pancakes along with a couple tacos. This wouldn't be where I'd go specifically for tacos, but if you want an American style classic breakfast, I don't think you'll be disappointed trying this place! The pancakes were light and fluffy and gravy on the biscuits is just how it should be! If you're in the area, give them a shot! Follow my food adventure on Instagram @CheatDay_SA

The restaurant is in a cottage house.we ordered the Ragoons and Garlic pork, Egg roll with rice noodle and shrimp . All delivered and super fresh. Get the fresh chili oil on the side

    UPDATE: REPOSTING THIS!…read more "Look... the people were really nice. However, the food was pretty rough. Barely any meat in the pho when taken to-go. the soup is not your typical pho, it was a weird variant and maybe i am unfamiliar with this style of pho, but it was truly disappointing. The serving size was so small for $20 per pho and it was $8 for 2 crummy spring rolls that had one shrimp cut in half for each spring roll. The other reviewer that said the peanut sauce was wack, was correct. it was not the normal sauce, it was some weird oil with peanut butter bits floating in it. The crab rangoons were not bad. I just really would not recommend this to someone who really loves pho." - I said this a month ago and took it down because the owner called to harass me questioning why I left a bad review. She called me 2-3 times at 9-10pm at night trying to get ahold of me. She left a voicemail saying she wanted to talk in person and explain to me the purpose of "tax" and "having to pay for bills." At this point I was scared and removed my review but let me just say, if I could leave 0 stars, I would.

We loved the funky art work (think of well-known buns as wall art, in a tasteful cartoon-like way). Lots of humorous references to "buns" that we all appreciated. My granddaughter particularly loved the oversized Hei Hei ( from Moana) near the front door. We started with cheese curds that were fabulous, served with ranch dressing, but they brought us blue cheese dressing when requested. Many sandwich choices! I had the yummy mushroom Swiss burger with side salad. Hubby had a terrific Hawaiian, with scrumptious pineapple. Daughter had a delish chicken salad and grandd aughter had tenders with fries. The buns were slightly sweet and every ingredient complemented the others. Inddor and outdoor seating Full bar We did not try any of the ice cream shakes, with or without booze, but WILL be back for those!

Located on 46 just east of 281 and definitely worth the drive!

So much flavor, the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and amazing textures in every bite. You can tell real care goes into their food. Also, the service was great. Our waitress made sure to stop by every so often to check on our drinks and asked every time how our food was. So much attention to detail all around. If you haven't stopped here yet, this is a must-try. I'll definitely be back!
