Nostalgic ambiance, classic dishes, reasonable portions. Personal faves include the Biscuits and Gravy and their Cold tuna sandwich :)
It is a simple place with good food and good service. Add low price and we have a winner. It is easily one of the best eateries in town.
If you are addicted to snazzy and pop, go to Denny's or somewhere, but if you want to enjoy the type of America when life was easier, most of definitely go to Star Restaurant in Hanford. A return to an earlier time, and decorated accordingly, with lower prices, hard working wait staff, home cooking - nothing sent from corporate freezers, a look at the past -back to1901, and pancakes the size everyone used to serve is what you will find. Don't be like some of the reviewers who are probably so stressed and hurried, they are looking for a McDonald's experience in a jewel of the past. Stop demanding and enjoy what is there. Just be pleasant, smile and say thank you when being served by some of the hardest working waitresses in the west - the way it used to be mostly everywhere. You will leave calm, well fed, and glad you slowed down a bit to enjoy the finer things in life - your neighbors, great food and prices, and poss some disdain toward our more modern ways. Enjoy this hometown favorite!
First time trying this place. Staff is friendly. Service was good. Food was really good. Ambience is old school diner style. A lot of Norman Rockwell pictures and Coca Cola memorabilia as well as pictures from 1901.
I go here often. Even sport one of their t-shirts. The food is always wonderful. There have been times when I have gone in and they were slammed...with one waitress, and still received service with a smile.
The food is amazing, the service is great and the ambiance is very rich in local antique decor. Immersing you to an earlier slower paced turn of the early twentieth century. Lots of locals frequent this cafe.
