    Starlite Coney Island - Gyro, fries are covered up and a mostly eaten buffalo cauliflower

    This restaurant opened in 1966. As I ate my extra meaty gyro and crispy hot french fries, Dad told…read moreme of how he used to come here in the 70s to eat. He said it hasn't hardly changed. There were 9 people working in the kitchen alone, and the place was packed. Despite that, we had swift and super friendly service. The place was also very clean and I'm sure that they had to remodeled since 1966 because even though it was vintage, the vinyl and such looked new. They had fried cauliflower and fried mushrooms. Oh my! I asked our waitress which was better, and she said she loved the cauliflower. She offered to have it dipped in buffalo sauce because that's how she loves it. Well absolutely! She added ranch for good measure, and let me tell you. It was homemade and the cauliflower was spicy and brilliant. It was the perfect start to my meal. It was also huge, so I had to take it home. Oooo! Midnight snack. I'm going to the kitchen right after I finish writing. I ordered a gyro with french fries and it was perfectly seasoned and came with onions, tomatoes and tzatziki sauce. It arrived wrapped in foil like a big burrito. I was full of cauliflower and not really in the mood for fries, but they were light and delicious. I didn't eat them all, but I ate a lot more than I thought I would. Dad got the blueberry pancakes with sausage, Amy got hash browns, fried eggs and turkey sausage links, and Estelle got a Philly beef and Swiss with French fries. She said the onions and peppers were on the bottom. She said it was good, but Big John's was better. We were SO FULL. They give really big portions. In fact, when we got to Dad's, Amy, Dad and I all fell asleep in our respective chairs and slept about 2 hours. Now that's some carb loading food coma! Would I go back again? Heck yeah. I just told my son about the place.

Servers are very friendly and it's what you'd expect from a normal old school Coney Island establishment nothing too fancy, a nice spot for a quick bite!

The waitress was super friendly as was the lady who cashed us out. They have daily specials written on the sign when you first walk in there's plenty of seating mostly Booth style like an old school diner with really cool old photos up on all of the walls and an old legit style jukebox behind the counter. The menu is really good it's full it offers lots of different choices for people of all ages. I got the bacon cheeseburger with french fries and a shake. The shake was absolutely delicious I could go back for just that. It was super thick not overly sweet. It came in a cool metal cup with an actual metal spoon I mean who even gives metal spoon these days. The bacon cheeseburger had crispy edges crispy bacon a fresh tomato and a soft pillowy bun. French fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I also had some fried pickles with ranch dressing. The fried pickles were nice because the batter was really thin often times the batter's so thick you can't even taste the pickle this was not the case. I was absolutely thrilled with all of my food it was tasty, it was fresh and hot, the place was clean, and the service was friendly I would go back any day and I would recommend them to anyone.

    If you're craving real, old-school comfort food, Grandma's Recipes absolutely delivers…read more We both ordered the fried chicken, which takes about 25-30 minutes because it's made fresh and it shows. The batter is thin, crispy, and not overly heavy, and the flavor feels like something straight out of a home kitchen. This isn't fast-food fried chicken... this is Sunday dinner at grandma's. The meal itself is a lot of food for around $17: four pieces of chicken, real mashed potatoes with homemade gravy, a vegetable, a potato, plus a salad and a cup of homemade chicken noodle soup with those old-school egg noodles. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned, not processed or rushed. We also tried the fried mushrooms everyone talks about, and they lived up to the hype. They use large portobello mushrooms, which makes a huge difference. No watery, soggy bite like you get at a lot of places, just a clean, meaty texture with a crispy coating. The atmosphere is calm and cozy. Lighting is dim enough to feel relaxed, and with only about 20 tables, it's not loud or chaotic. No kids running wild or constant traffic in and out, just a laid-back, "take your time" kind of vibe. The space has a log cabin feel with exposed wood, vintage décor, and black-and-white photos. The tables and chairs aren't fancy, but they're clean and fit the nostalgic charm. Service was great during our visit. Our waitress was attentive, checked on us regularly, took our order quickly, and everything came out hot. I've seen mixed reviews about inconsistent service, but our experience (first visit) was very positive. There's also plenty of parking, which is always a win. Between the generous portions, fair pricing, and genuinely homemade feel, this is the kind of place you come back to. They also offer daily specials and make many of their own desserts. I'll definitely be back to try the coconut cream pie. Overall: Comfort food done right, with a cozy, no-frills atmosphere and excellent value.

    Food was great atmosphere is homey like grandma's house. Service was excellent on a busy Sunday…read moremorning.
