I went for a Crushed Velvet Mule in addition to Cali, Buffalo (both grilled versions) and Burg B Q. We told our server that between me and my wife, we will be sharing the chicken sandwich and hence requested that it be sliced into 2. Not only were the burgers sliced, it was served in separate plates with sides as well - that was a really nice touch. Cali was a bit bland, Buffalo and Burg B Q were both really nice. The drink was nice as well. There was live music but we were seated near a table that was pretty boisterous, could hardly hear anything. The outdoor seating overlooking greenery and events they do at the restaurant make the place quite different - we will definitely be back soon to try other options on the menu.

Celina Star Cafe is one of those places that truly feels like a hometown gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming with that classic small-town diner charm. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers and making sure everyone has a great experience. The food was excellent and clearly made fresh. The portions were generous and everything tasted like real comfort food done right. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast or lunch, there are so many great options on the menu and everything comes out hot and flavorful. The ambience is relaxed and family friendly, making it a perfect place to meet friends, bring the family, or just enjoy a good meal without feeling rushed. It's the kind of place where locals gather and you instantly feel like part of the community. If you're in Celina and looking for a great breakfast or a classic diner experience with great service and delicious food, Celina Star Cafe is definitely worth the visit. We will absolutely be back. read more

Celina Star Cafe is a disappointing cafe that fails to deliver on quality food and service. The atmosphere is lacking, with uncomfortable seating that makes it difficult to relax and enjoy the meal. The food is also quite expensive for what it is, with simple dishes that don't justify the high prices. To make matters worse, the staff did not react well when we wanted to use a Yelp discount coupon, which was unprofessional and made the experience even more unpleasant. Overall, I would not recommend Celina Star Cafe due to the uncomfortable seating, high prices, and poor service. read more

Soon as you walk in, you are greeted with a great smile! Service was top notch, coffee was always filled. Food... perfection. We thought the prices might be a little high but once we seen the portion sizes and the quality of the food, we were sooo happy! Most Definite our new family spot! Try the Loredo Skillet!

Celina Star Cafe is an absolute gem! Their **Mexican Skillet** is hands-down the best--packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The **pancakes**? Simply amazing--fluffy, delicious, and everything you'd want in a breakfast treat. But what truly sets this place apart is the **service**--warm, friendly, and attentive. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you'll feel right at home. If you're looking for a fantastic meal with top-notch hospitality, this is the spot to go! read more

There's no reason the quality of the food should go down just because you're not sitting in the restaurant. I'm not sure who made my breakfast sandwich or why they thought it was okay to send it out looking like this to a paying (and very hungry ) customer. The pictures honestly speak for themselves. Again, I usually have a decent experience when I dine in, so this isn't me saying the restaurant is terrible. But based on this experience, I definitely would NOT recommend takeout. The difference in quality is pretty clear from the photos. I'd just love to see this location make sure the same quality and care you get dining in translates to pickup orders too!
