    Eggs, Crispy Hashbrowns, Crispy Bacon, Dry Toast + One Slice of French Toast
    Lori Lynn C.

    Fresh Star Diner is one of the best diners around. A friendly seat yourself family atmosphere with a classic bar with stools if it's busy. The servers work as a team to ensure your coffee is always full and the food comes out hot. Highly recommend.

    Super cute diner. Breakfast is served all day (however they are only open until 2). Simple food.

    Eggs Benedict with crab cake

    This is an excellent small restaurant open only to 3 pm and closed on Mondays. It's our go to place for breakfast or lunch. Their eggs Benedict is served 3 ways including corned beef hash, crab cake or bacon. They also have a chipotle style with avocado. All excellent. Their chili is great too. Excellent onion rings.

    Needed to spend the morning in Twinsburg and got the chance to visit this diner. Very home-town proud, lots of people knowing each other. Similar to Jim's Open Kitchen in Solon or Aurora, and Washington Street Diner in Bainbridge. Food was okay, hence the 4-star. Ordered eggs over easy, more like over-medium. "Real" Corned beef didn't have much taste and texture. Could use more seasoning and more time in the griddle. Coffee was WEAK. I was hoping that it would have a bit more coffee taste to it, but not there either. Staff was friendly and the service was fast. Got the job done (I was full).

    We really liked fresh start diner! It's a fast paced diner with excellent food to get your breakfast or lunch fill. They serve breakfast all day and start serving lunch at 10:30. The service was really quick and everyone was kind. The coffee didn't go below half a cup. We liked the fact that you pick your table!

    There is an EV charger right on a side road in front of the parking lot. Doesn't say TESLA on the charging station. Down home diner! Nothing fancy just homemade menu with friendly and prompt service. They also offer gluten-free French toast, waffles and pancakes.

    Diners are a good place to get a solid meal and this was decent. No flair but the waitstaff were attentive and helpful with my elderly parents. The menu is full of your classic diner fare but lacks a pizzazz item.

    2 large ice teas!!! Nice size!!!

    Food & drinks are very good portions!!! The skillet came with a large pancake & toast !! Cottage cheese omelette also very good with optional potatoes!!! Meat omelette good with potatoes & cinnamon - raisin toast!! Different & good!!! Service outstanding!!! Refill on teas, although large already, we're filled quickly!!! Floor & tables kept clean, & they even had tips for the cooks!!! Very Cool when they ring the bell & cook's respond!!!!

    We visited The Barn for a work event and had an overall great experience. The bar was fully…read morestocked, so no concerns there--I ordered a sweet cocktail that I really enjoyed. We also had a couple bottles of wine at the table, which were good as well. For appetizers, we shared oysters, meatballs, and shrimp cocktail. All of them were good, but the meatballs were my favorite. For my entrée, I ordered the prime rib. It was a bit saltier than I would have liked, but the sides helped balance it out. I really enjoyed the corn and mashed potatoes, and I also added mushrooms and onions, which helped offset the saltiness. In hindsight, I kind of wish I had ordered the filet mignon, as I suspect it wouldn't have been as salty. The bread at the beginning of the meal was also really good. Dessert was a standout--I got the turtle cake, and it was huge. It's definitely the best value on the menu. Three of us shared it and still couldn't finish it, though that may have also been due to the amount of food and drinks we had throughout the night. The food did take a while to come out, but the service remained good the entire time. We expected dinner to wrap up around 7:00, but we started at 5:30 and didn't finish until about 8:30--there were 16 of us, so it was understandable. Overall, a solid experience, especially for a group event.

This wasn't fun at all, the service was decent, but our waiter had an attitude. The vibe it was loud and smelt that's all i'm saying. Overall It was maybe 1.5/10.

They don't have a specific gluten free menu but there plenty of things you can change up or they are naturally gluten free. The stuffed Hungarian peppers appetizer is an awesome started to go with. The pepper has a comfortable amount of spice to it. The red sauce with the sausage is a good combination. Definite try. The pizza crust is always a hit or miss at places with a GF crust, but the crust is a big winner here. The cheese blend pairs nicely with the sausage and pepperoni. Filling and satisfying! The burger was enjoyed. Not a favorite fir my dad, but has plenty of other burgers to get there. My brother got the Featured Italian Wrap. We all looked at his plate at how BIG it was. He had one half at the restaurant, and the other half, the next day. Wow though. This was something that didn't get shorted at all. Haley was our waitress that. A super sweet and attentive girl. She checked on our GF questions with the kitchen if she wasn't a hundred percent certain saying yes or no. Preseason football is starting, so more people began to show up to sit at the bar to watch. And they have a very busy local band schedule for the summer on their patio outside. So, check it out if you're interested. Seems like a fun place when it gets to be the warmer weather season. Will definitely return.

The chicken wrap had no seasoning and it was so dry I needed to ask for an additional sauce and it was still unflavoured. Husbands fish perch basket was not good either.

They are moving to their other location in Bedford as an expanded location. That out of the way. I still live this place. Good prices. Large portions. Fast courteous service. All the things you want in a diner. Strictly Bfast and lunch. But they do have dinner entrees you can order stuffed cabbage and fish dinner as well. Specials too. And bfast all day which I highly recommend. Pancakes are soooo good. Today I got the buffalo chicken wrap with grilled chicken, with fries and cup of soup. The soup, chicken noodle was hot at the table. That's how soup is suppose to come to you hot! The buffalo chicken wrap was grilled and full of ingredients. Large portions and great lunch.
