Old establishment which was originally up on Broadway. I got to know the owner Leon who has passed away for quite some time. He had my hot sauce on the tables. I liked eating there because food was always consistently good, good portions and nice staff. If you wonder what and where to eat this is always a good place to walk away happy and content.

This restaurant has good food and usually has good service. This was not a good day for them.

We’re local the Blue Star and have been there a lot. It can be hit and miss with the service but the food is typically good. The bit I wish would change is the cleanliness. I’m not talking about the plates or table tops, more just look carpet, under shelves, windows, the ceiling etc. It’s just dirty.

Tomato soup wasn’t good, and the grilled cheese didn’t taste grilled. Table was sticky and wobbling. I tried to get multiple waitstaff’s attention as they were walking by and it’s like they were trying to not make eye contact. The water glasses are 4 inches tall. I would say that would be a burden on the waitstaff because of the amount of times you would require a refill, but they don’t make eye contact with you so refills are no problem for them.

They have the best buttermilk pancakes I've had in a long time. However avoid their espresso menu at all costs, absolutely dreadful.

We moved out of town 7 years ago, when this was a favorite brunch/lunch spot. Coming back for a long weekend, we couldn't resist trying it. Still yummy food. Same fun, neighborhood cafe/bar atmosphere. And also importantly, same great service. Some menu items have changed, but it's still extensive, and focused on freshly made food. The waffle with cheddar and bacon was excellent. Will be coming back when next in Seattle area.

Appalled by the level of cleanliness, service and quality of food.
We are long time patrons of Blue Star. My kids adore this place. But when we visited for lunch today, we were shocked by a variety of disappointments. 1) Kids pancake arrived with a half rotten strawberry on top 2) kids fruit bowl arrived with half rotten (smushed up) strawberries. 3) omelet was super greasy 4) restaurant was unkept and filthy 5) bathrooms were smelly and dirty 6) service staff could not be bothered to check in during the meal so we were unable to let them know about the rotten strawberries 7) had to try so hard to get their attention because we were put in the back room 8) service was abrupt when bill was given and server did not even bother to apologize for the rotten strawberries

Food, coffee, and service werent great. And what is up with the 2 inch cracks in the toilet stall? True "public" bathroom
Went for late dinner after granddaughter's basketball game at Lincoln H. S., where I did my student teaching in 1968. Funky pub atmosphere. Service was slow. Food was really good.

Service was great, was seated quickly with a smile from everyone who was working. I ordered a breakfast plate with their version of fried steak and eggs. food came out quick. It just wasn’t good. I can’t speak for their other plates, I’m sure they do have good food but mine just wasn’t.

My first time at this place, I go in to pick up a take out. It’s a 3 item order with the main course being a grilled cheese with tomato soup. Once I walk in, I patiently wait at the hostess counter; after about 5 or 6 minutes another couple walks in behind me, and one of the hostess’s walks over and sits then immediately… I’m upset but a few minutes later I finally gets someone attention and ask about my order; she said it’ll be a few more minutes & should be ready by noon.
Finally at 12:20, over 30 minutes after I entered the restaurant, I ask the hostess how much longer on the order, and she goes to the back and starts putting to go boxes that have been sitting on the counter for at least 10 minutes into a bag very quickly.. I received the bag of food.. The Grilled Cheese was MISSING from the order… The cup of tomato soup was placed ON TOP of the pastry I ordered, causing it to crush the pastry and make the soup tip over.
I’m not sure what the heck I did to upset someone this badly.. but this seemed like a pretty intentional way to say screw you to one of your customers😢

This establishment is a good place for neighborhood food and drinks. Located in Wallingford this eatery offers pub and American casual fare. The decor is “Seattle Eclectic” -think old wood, tiles and vintage photos on the wall. Although I didn’t have a cocktail I did notice the large selection of liquors and beer on tap. My meal was the cheeseburger with bacon and it was delicious. A large beef patty cooked to order with lettuce, pickles and tomatoes on the side all served on a delicious brioche bun. Rounded off with some really tasty French fries and I was very content.
