Disappointed with today's visit. We ordered, saw something gross and we got up and left. They know what I'm talking about.
The First time, great food and we enjoyed it and came back to NYC today for a 2nd visit and it will be last visit at this establishment.

Couple weeks ago we came here and it was one of the worst food I ever eaten around this area. Meat wasn’t cooked probably, broccoli taste like it was only splashed with warm water and the rest of the food was in a similar line . Only ok thing about this was the waiter who was very attentive and friendly.

Have wanted to come here for a while and I’m so glad I finally made it . From the chef to the delivery guy everyone here is personable ,kind and efficient . Very clean and lots and lots of food options . Be sure to check out their dessert fridge too . Loved sitting at the bar and hearing the guy who answers the phone be so patient with people ordering over the phone . Everyone that came in seems to know the owners and I love that . This will be my new go to diner for sure . Thank you for a great experience Silver Star . See you soon

If you're looking for a place where there's no pretense and everything on the menu delivers exactly what you'd expect, this is it. The motto, "What you see is what you get," couldn’t be more fitting.
From the moment you walk in, there’s an honesty to the decor—simple, clean, and comfortable, with no unnecessary frills. The menu reflects the same straightforwardness. The dishes don’t try to be anything they’re not, but the flavors speak for themselves. Every dish arrives exactly as described, without the over-promising you find at some places.
I had the classic burger, and it was just that—a well-cooked, juicy burger with fresh toppings. No fancy sauces or gimmicky ingredients, just quality basics done right. The fries were crisp, well-seasoned, and hot—just the way they should be.
Service was friendly, prompt, and attentive without being overbearing. What I appreciated most was that there were no surprises, just good food served in a no-nonsense atmosphere. It’s not a place that’s trying to win you over with flair, but if you're in the mood for a reliable meal where "what you see is what you get," this is definitely the spot. A solid, dependable dining experience.

My first and last experience at this restaurant was not what I expected. While checking out my food, there was a roach crawling on the counter. I was modified, while the cashier just simply took a napkin and killed it. I would never eat at this establishment again.

Hadn't been here since preCovid. It's still just as good as I remember. I had omlette, hubby had a burger ? and both were fantastic. Also, definitely try the Waffle Sundae ?, I thought it would be a waffle cup, no it's a while fluffy Belgian Waffle.

A quality-diner serving breakfast classics the same way they have for decades. Exactly what you would expect from a diner. Coffee fill-ups are free and waiters are extremely accommodating.
