I visited the White Star Diner in Plainfield on 11/13/2024 at around 2 pm. There was no wait time…read moreto get in. The diner had an inviting, cozy feel, almost like a home away from home. It had a few stools lined up and no dining tables, as it's meant for a quick, casual meal. What makes this diner special is that it's a classic Kullman Dinette from 1946, which is famous for its stainless steel designs that create a timeless yet nostalgic look. I ordered the double cheeseburger, which came with fries. The only person working there prepared it in front of me. He was extremely friendly, and my meal was ready within 5 minutes. The burger was okay, and he checked to ensure I was satisfied with my order. I would recommend asking for his recommendations if you're new to the dining experience like I am. Overall, my experience was good, and I'd return for a quick meal.

This place is truly a hole in the wall, with a tiny counter and stools... but the service from the two smiling men working behind the counter was friendly, the wait was short, and the breakfast was delicious and ample. $31 for two people, which was a little more than I expected initially, until I saw how much food we got-- 3 slices of French toast, 3 pancakes, 2 sides of hash browns, 1 orange juice, and 4-5 pieces of bacon each... my boyfriend can't remember how many pieces he had, but remarked that he got tired of eating crispy bacon, that's how much he had! Loved that the French toast was the perfect balance of soft and crisp on the edges, and somehow so creamy and sweet. The pancakes were thin but still fluffy, and the hash browns were savory with onions and chives. Everything hit just right. We enjoyed watching the sky light up through the front window as we scarfed down our tasty meals. It was exactly what we needed after an early wake-up and long drive to the airport (and the return trip ahead of us).

To be fair, the food has been quite decent on the several occasions we've visited, and the waitstaff has consistently provided good service. Unfortunately, our experience with the hostess has been the complete opposite. Today, while stopping in for a couple of burgers, we were greeted by what appeared to be an almost empty restaurant. This was the second time we've encountered rude and unwelcoming behavior from the hostess. After giving the place multiple chances, that experience was enough for us to decide that we will not be returning. It's disappointing because the kitchen and serving staff have done a good job, but first impressions matter, and the hostess's attitude has overshadowed the otherwise positive aspects of the restaurant.

The crispy chicken sandwich was perfectly cooked, with a super crispy coating that stayed intact (always a good sign!). The masala fries were seasoned just right. When we ordered the paratha pulled beef roll, the staff gave us a heads-up that it was a bit spicy but it turned out to be really spicy, so keep that in mind if you're sensitive to heat. The restaurant itself was well-maintained, and the staff did a great job keeping everything clean and tidy.

Fast & friendly service, happy to answer any menu or cultural questions you may have. They also do have a prayer area on site. The space has a nice clean & modern look with darker tones & green accents, so it's oddly relaxing. They have an area with complimentary water, Yemonade (not a typo), & Masala fries. I didn't try the fries from there, cause while they do have tongs, I saw someone just pick some up by hand. I had the Smash burger, New Zealand lamb chops, & [ordered] Masala Fries (seasoned fries). All were very good and enjoyable. I would definitely come back. Grades: Smash Burger: A New Zealand Lamb Chops: A- Masala Fries: A

We tried the Boom Boom Shrimp, which were crispy and packed with flavor; the sauce was amazing. The Pan Fried Potstickers were also delicious, savory pork dumplings with a perfectly balanced dipping sauce (though I wish there had been more!). Lastly, the fried calamari was fresh and crispy, complemented perfectly by the sweet chili sauce. For our main dishes, we ordered the blackened chicken salad, which was just okay--not my favorite. The prime burger, however, was juicy and flavorful. The shrimp and sirloin dish was decent, but the shrimp were a bit small and overcooked. This place is great for enjoying a few appetizers.
