The place itself features a total of six stools, three looking out the window and three facing the counter. There's enough standing room for maybe six more folks, but this is not the place to go for a family sit down. However, if you want a hot meal, you can do much worse. The employees were both very friendly, the food came out super quick, and it was generally tasty. It's a perfect spot for someone working in the Plainfield area to pop into for some quick grease and carbs.

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).

Ok, now to the food: We ordered Bibb Salad - great!!!, the bbq wings (ask them to make them bbq style vs Peruvian) - awesome wing, but the bbq sauce was all gas - a 10 - Loved it! They are also known for their burger, which was solid, Steak Sandwich was also good, but the burger was def the better choice! Then we wrapped up worh the dessert: ordered Cheesecake which was beautiful and delicious. The homemade crust was an absolute 10!!! Then they let us sample their apple pie, which is currently not a menu item but they're testing it out. Also good! And finally, the s'mores bananas split! A unique spin on the traditional banana split. The flambéd bananas were crazy good. Great dish. So, everything was on point and extremely tasty!!! My only criticism was the bar could've been a tad quicker with the drink refills but once requested, they refreshed our drinks. I'd definitely be back here as it was great experience with food and service! Everything Kate recommended was spot on good!!! We'll be back!

This time, the food was ok (relatively mediocre), but i cannot return because we found a mouse under the kids' seats after finishing dinner. The kids were playing under the table and I told them to get up but they said there was a mouse. We thought they were joking or making it up bc they're young and tend to play make believe but then after my daughter confirmed she wasn't making it up, I looked under with my phone flashlight. Lo and behold, a little mouse chomping away at a trap. Which means they know about the problem. I feel sick to my stomach because you just don't know if the mice are crawling around on the tables at night, on the dishes, in the kitchen, etc. Sorry to say, but I won't be returning.

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.

I came here to pick up a food order, and unfortunately the customer service during the pickup…read moreprocess was very disappointing. When I approached the register, the employee asked who I was picking up for. I showed her the order information on my phone, and she checked it before walking away. The problem was that she never came back or gave me any update. I was left standing there waiting, assuming the order was still being prepared. After waiting longer than necessary, I had to approach another employee to find out what was happening. I was then told that my food had actually been ready for several minutes. That was frustrating because a simple update or acknowledgment would have avoided the entire situation. What bothered me most was that when I finally brought up the issue, instead of acknowledging the inconvenience, I felt like I was being brushed off with a quick "have a good night." I understand that restaurants can get busy, and I'm not expecting perfect service every time. However, basic communication, attentiveness, and respect go a long way especially when someone is simply trying to pick up an order. I'm leaving this review because the pickup process needs improvement. Management should make sure employees are communicating with customers and following through after asking them for their order information. A little better customer service would make a big difference.

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.

The bartender serving us as well as the rest of the staff who helped serve our food were great. There's plenty of seating whether you want to eat at the bar, dine inside or dine outside.
