Ohder wasn't correct. Silverware, forks, need to be replaced. Bathrooms need to be remodeled.

Great place for locals, truckers. Much better than the garbage most truckstops serve today.
Breakfasts are more than filling.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the waitress was fun, attentive, and very knowledgeable. The menu is wide and varied, and you can get breakfast all day. If that is your thing, you will definitely enjoy this restaurant like we do!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5)

I hadn’t been back to Marlins since the 1980s when it was still the old Starlight Café, so stepping inside brought back a lot of memories. I even worked here for two years back in the day, with my brother carrying on the “legendary” family status (tongue-in-cheek).

We stopped in around 7:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning, just before the breakfast buffet started. The place wasn’t very busy, which surprised me since years ago you’d see a line out the door on weekends. Service was attentive but not chatty—our waitress had her hands full with her section, but she made sure everything got to us promptly.

Breakfast was classic truck stop fare: a ham & cheese omelet, hash browns, over-medium eggs, sausage links, and toast. It was good, nothing to complain about, but also nothing to write home about—solid, standard diner food.

I always make a point to check the bathrooms since I feel they reflect the state of the kitchen. In this case, I wasn’t impressed. The bathroom felt neglected, which pulled my overall rating down.

All in all, Marlins is a decent, no-frills stop for a traditional breakfast, but for me it lands right in the middle. Good food, okay service, but the condition of the bathrooms keeps it from being more than average.

The last few times I have been there. The breakfast bar has really been sad and it makes me sad.
