Best breakfast we had in a very long time. Service was great. Food was delicious. Highly recommend!!!

Ambience: B Cleanliness: B+ Customer Service: B+ Food: B+ Overall Rating: B+ Price -Coming from Long Island, NY it is about inline with what diners cost around here, which is slightly over priced but decent. The nice thing about diners is that they always have items in various price points so you can manage what you spend. Atmosphere -Diner...ey? It's clean and spacious. Customer Service -It was good. We did not come during a busy time, and she did keep our drinks full and checked on us in a reasonable amount of time. I wouldn't say she went above and beyond, but certainly nothing to complain about. Just about average. Food -Good, not great. For the price, if I really wanted yummy food I would go somewhere else. With that said, it wasn't greasy and it did hit the spot. Overall -I think this is the perfect place for breakfast or a late night spot. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this diner but if I need something to eat and it was close I see it as a good option. read more

I've only been here a few times. Each time we went, it was for breakfast. I was impressed each time. The chocolate chip pancakes are my favorite. The service is top-notch too. read more

Silver Star is the GO-TO spot for breakfast/brunch! (and at midnight when you want a bacon egg and cheese) No one beats their pancakes or French toast, pretty much breakfast overall. They have a full bar so you can get mimosas or baileys with your coffee. All the desserts are made on-site but the BEST is the Strawberry cheesecake. If you only get 1 thing, GET THE CHEESECAKE, you Won't be sorry! read more

The place is a bit run down. Don't expect phenomenal service. But the food won't disappoint you. The portions are huge. The lunch specials are great and the portions are enormous. I had the fish and chips and they were decent $11 read more

Always a homey place. Perfect for a family diner and food always taste amazing! Can't wait to go back

We got off the road and stopped here for dinner on Saturday, about six pm. Based on our experience, it's not going on our Go To list of favorites. The positive is that it's a lovely bright place with plenty of parking and the cake display is what dreams are made of. We were seated immediately and noticed a large staff on duty. The menu had most everything you could imagine and our waitress promptly appeared to take our drink order. The downside started with the coffee that tasted burned, replaced by a soda that was flat. I ordered a Rueben and potato salad - standard diner fare, right? I got a sopping wet sandwich (undrained kraut) and dried out corned beef. The potato salad was crunchy with barely cooked potatoes. Mr C ordered a chili cheese omelet after being assured the chili was not spicy and it was inedible for him, and my sinuses were stirred by the heat just from sitting beside it. My son ordered a cheese omelet that came with a hard brown crust. When the waitress came back to the table it was with a check, and she made no comment about the mostly full plates we were leaving behind. We pointed out the hard omelet, and the drenched sandwich and she said "Sorry." My advise is save yourself and go to the place down the street. read more

I'm not sure--when the host said, "my grandma will be right over," was he being a real douchebag or an ironically sincere young man? This diner's a little pricy, but it was a good golden arch alternative on our road trip. The spanikopita was way greasy, but the turkey on rye with russian dressing turned out as expected. read more

Had nothing but great experiences here! The staff is always friendly to us. The eggs are always cooked to perfection. Also the Buffalo chicken wrap is on of the best I had! The major plus is that they have a Joe's tea! read more

Open 24 hrs! Real Greek diner. Kinda on the fancy side for a diner - big, clean, huge menu options, fast service, good for groups. Fair diner prices. Food is what one expects of a diner: Solid chicken souvlaki, club sandwiches, soup, good Greek salad, tuna melt, pancakes, fries. Private parking. read more

Food is a tad pricey, but it was delicious. Everything tasted very good. I've been here a few times and they have been consistent every time I come here. The owner even let us have a sample of cake. Very nice of her. read more

I'm shocked by the negative reviews. And they do not have roaches everywhere. Lol sounds like someone wanted to get a free meal...anyway... I've been coming here since 2003. Before kids, now with my son at five, we both cone at least every other week for brunch or a dinner. The staff is incredibly attentive and nice. They basically watched my son grow up and they never forget named of their regulars. They are kid friendly with crayons and mats to draw, balloons, even cookies to go for free when they have any more left! We typically get breakfast for any meal and at times ill try a special. But our favorites are the omlettes, waffles, grits, pancakes. I also love their Greek dishes. It's a diner. Diner food is not supposed to be a fine cut filet lol. So if you are looking for good regular diner food give it a try. What's fabulous is they make their own desserts on premises. They are always fresh and delicious bakery like desserts. You don't find that a lot. They are always packed on weekends. Yet always attentive. The staff had longevity which is nice to see. Says a lot about their atmosphere to work. Couple recommendations: They need to get steak fries vs those thin battered ones. Also upgrade the women's restroom! read more

Staff was super nice and really sweet. We came in party of 19 including kids and they were quick in serving us and the food was good and the prices were not outrageous . Really nice family run operation. read more

This I may say was a true experience. Came for breakfast with my mom and bf , we sat fairly quickly ordered our food and went all down hill from there Waited 45 minutes for eggs. Now I understand they were busy but our waitress NOT ONCE told us ' it will be our soon '. Our food finally arrives and we eat. Breakfast was tasty. And nicely portioned. During this time the waitress never came back to refill our coffees Ask if everything was ok Get us ketchup Check to see if we wanted something g else. We never got our water No check No thank you We had to ask yet a different waitress for the check and yet another waitress for TO GO plates- as we had left over. We complained to the manager as the waitress came up to my face and said' really? ' what's your problem'. We should of tipped the other two waitresss that helped more. AND we still left her a tip ( because she did drop the food on our table ) But how dare you come up to a customer like that. VERY UNPROFFESIONAL Someone like that needs to be fired. I won't be returning read more

Yummy breakfast food so delicious my daughter and her boy friend treated me since I fractured my ankle Sunday in a pothole. read more

Silver Star Diner - Dividers between tables. - Diners Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Work the night shift here in Norwalk and ordered a Philly cheesesteak with jalapeños and mushrooms. Along with waffle fries. Generous serving, awesome flavor presentation. Would definitely order from them again. Also that red cabbage coleslaw is bomb AF. read more

Went for lunch Saturday September 6 2020 we have chosen this place because it has a large dining room setup however when we arrived they piled everybody in one corner closest to the kitchen six booths maybe four feet apart cross the isle and they place some plastic screen that was hanging and left 4 inches void on the bottom This is not COVID safe place The other thing is my husband ordered cheeseburger triple decker which is cheeseburger club with fries it came on a small plate fries piled on the top of the sandwich and when you try to cut into it everything slides off on the table Is is laziness or inability not sure but it seems that many places are using the virus to cut down on service we sure won't be going back there read more

We had breakfast once at this diner and never returned. Carpet needed a thorough cleaning, bathrooms weren't well kept, and prices weren't inline with what other local diners charge. Hopefully they'll take heed to folks reviews and make some serious changes. read more

I can't stop thinking about how delicious the rice pudding was. It was obviously homemade and had a skin on top - delish! I ordered the Greek salad with chicken for lunch. It was nicely done and a big portion. I would have rather ordered something else, but they were out of gluten free bread. We witnessed the manager or owner yelling at waitresses while we were dining which was uncomfortable. Otherwise, solid diner food. read more

Horrible experience I came in at 10:50pm with my bf and they seated us off in a construction ((taped seating right at the front door)) part of the Diner. On top of it the women that seated us down that was at the register kept staring at us the whole entire time. When it was time to tell another waitress our orders I asked for a simple short stack pancakes with strawberries... The pancakes were fine but the Strawberries were going bad and some were kind of moldy. I lost my appetite and so did my bf. When I went here when I was young this place was awesome to go to. Now I have to worry about prejudice and moldy food. I'm not coming back here. read more

Stopped here during a road trip. I'm a big fan of diners. Ordered a cheeseburger and fries with cheese and gravy. The cheeseburger was below average and the cheese/gravy fries were decent. Odd tasting Sierra Mist. Poor service from waitress in an empty diner. The prices were very high even taking in consideration of current world circumstances. I would say this is a below average diner for the northeast. Would not go back. read more

Portion was huge and it tasted fine. Huge omelet and a ton of home fries. I got a side of avacado($5) a coffee($4) and a garden omelet with Swiss cheese. So the eggs and veggies were $17 Now it was huge and good. But the total was $26 and change. For breakfast, this is just too much! I took two stars for flavor. Silver star at the price of a Gold star!!!!! Will never return read more

Really good vegetarian food. We had the vegetarian burger and eggplant parmigiana with generous portions. Our party also had the chicken parmigiana which was good. Strawberry cheesecake is a must have. The diner had good ambiance and polite servers. read more

My edit of my negative review of Blue Star Diner didn't post. On the plus side there: the staff were polite and concerned that I didn't like my order, and immediately did their best to assist me in finding something I would enjoy, which worked out. No denials or justifications or surliness ~ just problem solving to make sure I had an enjoyable breakfast. Very good coffee. Clean restroom. read more

We LOVE Silver Star Diner! Great family atmosphere every time, even with curbside pick up. Try the home made cheese cake with JUMBO strawberries. Its divine!!! Cant wait for them to open back up from this Covid-19 so we can sit inside and eat! read more

Since they closed down the restaurants due to the Coronavirus this has been my go to spot. Thank God they're open I can get breakfast late at night when I feel like eggs or a N.Y Strip when I'm really hungry. This place is great!! Now that they deliver too I can stay home and order some beer with my delivery it's awesome!! read more

Had reserved space for sweet 15. After trying the food (bland and as if from frozen to table) seeking deposit to be returned. Not having much luck. Have come to realize this location is fueled by bigotry, racism, and blatant ignorance. Seeking new venue. Hopefully owner sees this review and can read how dissatisfied we are with the business practices and lack of support. Give us our deposit back. Thanks. read more

Very dissapointed..came for breakfast. Ordered eggs Benedict florentine . The spinich was chopped tasted reheated from last nights dinner and gross ..not even hot . The english muffin so hard i couldnt even cut thru it. Ive Been here before, but wont be back for breakfast . The waitress was nice ...new . Ordered me the wrong eggs Benedict first .so i got to eat my breakfast after my husband finished his . Hence missed the point of going out to eat together on a sunday morning . Not impressed. Two stars are only for the pancakes read more

I love this Diner it has a great atmosphere and the waitresses are always friendly and helpful , I have visited this diner on many different occasions and every time it was Great , The food is awesome as well and it will fill you up with so much goodness I would recommend this place to everyone that I know five Stars all the way read more

Diner lost in time. Everything needs a deep cleaning, painting or complete overhaul. Very mediocre food quality. Fruit salad appeared to have been made multiple days ago and was watery and we ate in Sunday morning at 10am. Gallo eggs - menu items described pinto beans there was some broken rice with black beans on the plate, plantains were not sweet and were rock hard deep fried chunks. Just not appetizing snd lacked and authenticity or flavor. The one order of Challah French toast was good with fresh cut strawberries and bananas. Overall just needs a lot more attention to detail in food and needs to be cleaned and remodeled. read more

Came here with Nick. Food was ok. Full bar but by state law couldn't open until 0900. Honestly, probably wouldn't come back here as there are so many other places to try but it's convenient and open long hours. Full bar too-oh yeah, I mentioned this already. Don't order the bloody mary. read more

Food was subpar...the nail in the coffin was the lousy service. I came in one day for breakfast and ordered a meat skillet. Halfway through my meal, I had to run off to the restroom. I couldn't have been gone for more than a minute. When I came back, my food was gone! I complained to the manager and he said that since I had left my table, I was "finished". At first, I refused to pay for a meal I didn't finish but he threatened to call the cops on me. After grudgingly paying, I demanded a new meat skillet. Instead, the manager told me to leave right away and never return. I called later to complain - the manager on duty then sided with the rude manager I dealt with that morning. Stay away from this restaurant! The food is awful (you'd get better cuisine from McDonald's!) and the staff are incredibly vicious, impolite swindlers. read more

Zero stars. The waitress was as pleasant as a strung out driver stuck in rush hour traffic and they committed the worse cooking offense that can be committed...they microwaved the bacon. I would expect microwaved bacon from a free continental breakfast at a cheap truck stop hotel but from a Diner? To top it off their prices are out of line for the quality of food they serve! Bacon reheated in the microwave...really? read more

I'm curious what shift the people with negative reviews had when visiting this diner. I went around 9-10pm and had a great waiter named Gus. He joked around with my 8 yr old brother, was attentive and made sure to quality check, and the food was just as diner food always is! Nothing more, nothing less. Shame on me for not writing this review closer to my visit because I don't remember what I ordered, but I do remember my brother getting a special order of something with no problems at all. We also took advantage of a foursquare offer and got a discount on our meal! Would definitely recommend this place as a nice pit stop on your drive :) read more

Don't miss the super tasty chicken soup at silver star diner! Many times i have it to take home and enjoy it at home. There is both noodles or with lemon and rice. Not to mention the the gourmet stews! Or the melt in your mouth pancakes for dessert.. read more

I stopped into this place and loved it. The interior is cheesy but in that good diner kind of way. Nothing to fancy just an above average diner. They have all your standard diner fare (meaning a huge menu). I thought our waitress was unfriendly when we sat down but when taking our order she warmed up and turned out to be quite nice. I happen to be moving right near here in the not to distant future and you can bet I will make this a regular place. other tidbits: Even though the parking lot is huge for some reason it seems cramped. I saw someone back into a car and just take off (not real damage done) so you might want to just park towards the back of the lot and burn off a few of those diner calories. read more

Silver Star Diner has been my family's favorite place to eat anywhere since we moved to Norwalk 12 years ago. We eat there once or twice a week and between all of us have confirmed that we've ordered everything on the menu. We order our favorite dishes and specials a lot, but having so many of them it's still a tremendous variety of entrees to decide on every time we sit down. The main dining room is our favorite spot because it's low-lit, quiet even when there are a good amount of people seated because of its size and floor plan, and decorated in a very homey fashion that perfectly suits its delicious comfort food. Silver Star is the only place that we eat, including fancy restaurants, in which we look at and order from the specials menus often because they always live up to its name. The Meat Loaf Tower is my favorite. Have a spotter and don't look down. It's a high-rise of tender, juicy meatloaf adorned with creamy, gravy-laced mashed potatoes. Unbelievably tasty. The wait and managerial staff are very friendly (Gus makes you feel like you're in the home of a dear friend), professional, and provide fast, efficient service. We love going there. It's a break from a workday that makes you forget it ever happened and it makes the weekends more fun. It's like a theme park of food. Treat yourself. Treat your family. Trek to Silver Star. read more
