    I know my egg preparation request is a little bit non-standard --eggs, fried hard with a broken yolk, so there's no runniness-- I always appreciate when someone comes out from the kitchen to clarify what I want regarding my eggs, and they did just that and the eggs were perfect. I enjoyed my vegetable hash and drip coffee as well. My friend who dined with me says the French toast is amazing. The TV's over the bar were a little distracting for me, at least the sound was turned down. Although the restaurant was less than half full, it was surprisingly loud with conversation. This was during the noon hour on Friday. I imagine it would be more peaceful during an off hour.

    I believe this is the third time I've tried to go to the Northstar diner or Shanghai room. All of which said they were open. This happens to me right down the street from my house and I'll be damned if not all three times they are closed when they're clearly states they open unfortunate I will never try this place again, all I wanted was a small burger

    Chilaquiles & Mushroom and Swiss Omelet
    Carol C.

    This place offers delicious and filling breakfasts. I had the Mushroom & Swiss Omelet and Hubby had the Chilaquiles with chorizo and added a biscuit. The coffee is served in large soup mugs and we never needed a refill. I would come back here because the food was hot and delicious and it came out quickly, the wait wasn't long and there's seating at the counter, and staff are friendly. We may have waited a few extra minutes, so we could sit in Tory's section. One thing to keep in mind is it gets pretty noisy in there and can be hard to have a conversation. This is a family friendly restaurant.

    Traditional Benedict
    Rebecca Q.

    Very reasonably priced diner with great portions and alright food. Staff was kind and considerably quick. The interior is surprising with movies playing on screens and eclectic decor. Ordered eggs Benedict with hash browns for $21 and apple juice for $5 and portions were decent - not the hugest I've ever had but still couldn't finish.

    Massive coffee mugs!

    I've lived in Greenwood for a year & a half and have been meaning to try this place. Reasonably crowded on a late Saturday morning, we waited about 10 mins for a table. When the server came to the table with the BIGGEST coffee mug I've ever seen, I was instantly a fan of North Star. The thing looks like a mini crock pot. Free refills too! All of the food our group of 3 got was good, a step above old school greasy diner food, but not Instagram influencer fancy - the perfect happy medium. The place has a total local diner vibe, with eclectic interior decor - a wall of astronaut photos? So random, I love it. And then at night it turns into a Shanghai room in the back, and I've heard it's a blast.

    We came here for breakfast on Memorial Day at 9:00 AM. What a cool diner! I love what they did with the place-it still has the bones of the restaurant it used to be, and now it is a galactic explosion that maintains both a blast from the past and the future. The decor alone is a feast for the eyes. Nice! I had a hearty breakfast and enjoyed a Mushroom & Swiss omelette and a cup of coffee. So simple and good. I love the flavors, staff, and the vibe here-I would love to come back!

    Eggs Benedict
    Calvi N.

    Food - Bacon was cold and not crispy. Eggs were unseasoned. Hollandaise sauce was sour for some reason and too liquidy. Most redeeming part was the hash browns. Pancakes weren't that fluffy and failed to meet expectations. Service - 30 minute wait on Saturday morning. Servers were nice and friendly. Food came out fairly quickly after everything was ordered. Ambiance - Cute decor with interesting content on the TVs (bobs burgers and zelda playthrough). Large windows with natural lighting.

    Eggs Benedict with portobello mushroom
    Dee P.

    What a fun place to eat. I came in with my sister on Thursday morning for breakfast. Only one person running the floor, and he was really nice and provided great customer service. Coffee was good. My sister ordered the eggs benedict with portobello, and it tasted amazing. I got the huevos rancheros and that was pretty good too. A little spicy. Overall, this is your regular neighborhood diner with delicious food. I think it's a little overpriced, but maybe I'm just used to 2000s Denny's. Street parking in case you are curious. This is located right on greenwood.

    Great food and fast service! I was not expecting such deliciousness to be honest, but left with wow, what a great little diner with friendly staff and quirky interior. I highly recommend! PROS: - fantastic location, fun interior, plenty of street and neighborhood parking available - no lines, quick seating and cash out - good menu with plenty of options to customize - friendly and accommodating staff - good portions, tasty well cooked food! My favorites are the country Benedict with extra crispy hashbrown, French toast! CONS: - a bit dingy, old bar seats that sink in and are uncomfortable. They need to update their furniture. Flies around the place were constantly trying to eat the food! Very unappealing - main dishes are on the pricey side, like 20% more expensive. I was disappointed that I didn't get more hash brown with a $21 item or a drink, and ended up having to order a side of hashbrowns. Guys - If you're charging me $25 (tip + tax) for a simple brunch, you better provide free drinks and a lot more hashbrown. It's okay to charge more just because you're in the city, but you're competing with other brunch places and you're not sweetening the deal.

    Chicken Fried Steak Dinner
    Mike L.

    North Star Diner serves breakfast all day as well as other lunch items. I ordered to go and was surprised by how good things were. Chicken fried steak: the portion was giant! The accompanying gravy was pretty good as well - creamy, full of flavor, and delicious.

    Breakfast Burrito (inside)
    Francesca S.

    Got this place for delivery and it was amazing! Their fried breakfast burrito was filled with loaded potatoes, beans, hashbrown, carnitas, and eggs. On the side, they provide you with sour cream, cheese, and red sauce so that the burrito doesn't get soggy. It was a hefty burrito and definitely had leftovers. But what was even bigger was their chicken fried steak! It was massive (as you can see in the photo). The gravy came on the side as well. Wish the food was a bit more seasoned but other than that, would come back!

    Jeff L.

    Incredible breakfast spot that has a bit of an interesting asian/astronomical vibe to it. As a San Diegan I have to say that the breakfast burrito more than satisfied my craving and everyone at the table thoroughly enjoyed their meal. There's plenty of things for your eyes to wander around to here and the staff was pleasant and prompt on a Sunday morning. Would definitely come back!

    What a fun and friendly place. Very welcoming. Fun snacks made in the air fryer in the back room…read more Excellent cocktails with amusing names. Go on the early side as it is quite popular and seating is limited.

    This is a fairly small, hole in the wall, neighborhood bar with speakeasy vibes, though it is…read morefairly easy to locate the bar since the name of the bar is painted in a large wall. We walked in as a party of 2 on a Thursday around 9pm and it was not too busy - probably half the bar was occupied. We opted to sit at one end of the bar because the bar seats are where the vibes are at. The place is decorated in a fairly elegant and old school manner, so you are somewhat transported away from the outside reality. We got the Tobe's Thique Mint and Garden Party. I loved the creaminess and cinnamon afternotes of Tobe's Thique Mint, and it also looks somewhat pretty. It is quite a heavy drink, so one was enough to fill me up. The Garden Party was a bit of a miss since as much as I tasted the orange and grapefruit, it was a very light drink and tasted a little watered down. The biggest plus is that the drinks are fairly affordable compared to the greater Seattle area, priced at $14. I liked how their menu says 14 for $14, as they have just 14 cocktails to choose from and the drinks seem to rotate seasonally. For us, we went just in time to still have the spring menu, but they will change to the summer menu on June 20.
