Phenomenal food and service! The decor and ambiance sent me back to my childhood. Loved it. Thank you read more

Star Diner is one of the few places in Westchester that still gives me that true nostalgic diner feel. Sitting in the cramped train car style space and watching the chef cook right in front of you if you sit at the bar makes it feel like a classic diner experience you cant really find anymore. Totally awesome place read more

The everything-you-want-in-a-diner experience happens at this gem! Tiny space - it's a train car wedged between building but you can't tell from the exterior. And it is bustling inside- quick, kind service with the two guys who are masters of the grill slinging out amazing omelettes, great pancakes, perfect home fries, and a truly amazing looking BEC (need to go back and order that next time). Prices are absolutely reasonable, portions are big and the dishes they're serving are classic. I got an omelette, home fries and toast; my husband got scrambled eggs pancakes and bacon. And the bacon was a delight- not the skimpy strips you might expect. Enjoy your meal, but get out soon and let the next people in line have your space- it's the diner-y thing to do! Consider sitting by the counter to watches these guys make magic on the grill- they're fast and it's fun to watch! read more

Friendly, personable people working behind the counter. The person sitting next to me said he had been coming to this diner for 10 years. Neighborhood vibe. The space is a bit cramped when full (it was full at 12pm on a Thursday). The prices are reasonable. The food was good. The turkey sausage was a little bland but then again turkey sausage is rarely that amazing. The home fries were both soft and well fried - yum. My main hang up with this place is that it's in White Plains which is perhaps one of the worst places to park I have ever come across. (You have to pay meters at the Target for reference.) The town is like extortionate when it comes to parking generally and the meters across the street require quarters which is annoying. I find the town a bit inhospitable and am rarely around but would gladly come back to the diner if I am in the area. read more

The food had a slightly processed taste, but overall, it was great. They had a wide selection of dishes. It was a bit inconvenient that you could only pay in cash, and the ATM right there charged for withdrawals. The service was good, and the vibe was really cute, with a nicely set-up ambiance. read more

Star Diner - 2 Eggs Any Style, French Fries, Bacon - Diners Near Me - White Plains, New York

Born and raised in White Plains, I've been going to the Star Diner ever since I was a kid. The place has been a neighborhood staple for over 50 years, and has always come through for us when we were hungry at any hour of the day/night. Unfortunately as of late (particularly during/after Covid), the place has struggled to maintain its allure (at least for this hungry patron) and particularly after this morning's episode with the manager Jack, who I've always been on good terms with-right up until the time he got extremely rude with me this morning because I voiced my disappointment (which I rarely do) that the BLT I was served (who makes a BLT with only 3 small slices of bacon???) Needless to say, it's not likely I'll be returning there anytime soon, at least not while he's there. As a local business owner myself, I know all about proper etiquette, service and customer relations. (Evidently, some folks forget this after being in the game for so long.) Maybe it's time to hang things up?? It's really too bad, because I really did like going there for a quick & relatively inexpensive bite from time to time. To Jack: Ya gotta do better next time, dude. If you did it to me, you'll do it to anyone. Granted, we all have bad days-but your attitude this morning was completely unacceptable and warrants a sincere apology (not only to me, but the dozen or so other patrons that were in the restaurant that were completely shocked at your behavior.) Gotta get it together, Brother... come on now. read more

Visiting from Louisiana, and this place may very well have the best breakfast I've ever had. Great service, delicious meal, and a lovely old-school vibe. I may have to walk back here tomorrow morning. read more

I was looking for a diner. I could take my found this little diner in White Plains. Across from the hospital. They are cash only so bring your paper money. Very nice inside classic diner from 90 years ago. You could sit at the counter on the old style stools or slipping into a comfortable booth. The waitress and brought us out menus. They have specials across from the booths that you can read tacked up I noticed the prices were amazingly low. Grilled cheeseburger deluxe. $9.00 Pizza burger $9.25 Two eggs toast, and your choice of bacon ham sausage $7.50. Other diners are definitely 40 to 50% more I decided to order the dinner, brisket of beef with with potato and vegetable. Your choice of tasty home fries, french fries mashed potatoes or a a broiled potato I chose the french fries. Gravy with the brisket. my dinner came out with a nice piece of bread delicious looking gravy and a very nice portion of brisket. The french fries were crispy on the outside and a nice potato taste on the inside. The brisket had a good flavor. The gravy tasty and I don't think they used a gravy that had MSG in it. my mother enjoyed the fish and chips a Swiss grilled cheese sandwich but it looked good The rice pudding was delicious. I definitely recommend coming here to try breakfast cheeseburger or one of the dinner choices. The meatloaf looked very good. I saw it going out to another customer. As well as the grilled cheeseburger with french fries The service was very nice. The waitress was very friendly and told me about how long the diner has been open 90 years. read more

My family love to eat at this place.please add quesadillas and tacos to the menu...please.your grill man does great job

Very NY diner. Typical fries not greasy which is good. My bunless burger was good just wish it was bigger but it was cooked to perfection and cheese was melted just right. No parking lot here it is street parking and we found parking around the corner. The Hospital is across the street. My husband's bacon was pretty good and crispy. Loved my pickle too! The waitress was friendly. Their mayonnaise was sooo good it tasted homemade. Wish I had more of it. Sliced tomatoes were juicy and very fresh! We also ordered a coke and a pepsi and they came in their own bottles which I didn't mind. I bet they make a perfect NY bacon, egg and cheese here. Give it a try! read more

In Westchester for a family event and decided to take a walk for breakfast. Yelp led us here based on a four and a half star rating. I'd however give it a four for ambiance- loved the cool old-time diner vibe of the place. Food-wise- they get three stars. I ordered an egg and cheese omelette with onions which was served to me cold with unmelted cheese and partially cooked onions. The well-done home fries were marginal and my bagel was subpar for a New York bagel. Hubby said his corned beef hash was not cooked well enough and bland. Overall the place was nothing to write home about. Also, if you do go,be prepared to pay with cash. They do have an ATM when you enter if needed. read more

This is a small hole the wall diner that is absolutely worth a visit. Big Jack seems to know most customers by name. It is cash only, but there is an ATM at the entrance door.

Star Diner - Steak & Eggs - Diners Near Me - White Plains, New York

This tiny hole in the wall diner was surprisingly good. Reminds me of a Waffle House design but much better food. Came in 10 am on a Tuesday and it was packed. Only two seats at the bar open so be prepared for a morning rush. The service is a little slow cause there's only one server and one cook but bare with them, it's worth the wait. Food comes out piping hot and fresh. The corned beef was canned but good. The home fries were a little bland but good texture. My over easy egg was perfect. A big note is this diner is CASH ONLY. Make sure you have enough before the bill comes. Everything is priced very well though. read more

Star Diner - Corned beef hash - Diners Near Me - White Plains, New York

I say! I had happened upon this place years ago and was delighted it was still there! Strolled in twice on weekdays and both times it exceeded my expectations! I was promptly seated and given menu/drink order taken. I ordered a hamburger deluxe and was served in no time! The portions are generous considering their INCREDIBLY LOW prices. While this eatery may be a hike from the hustle and bustle of Mamaroneck Ave, it is worth it to save some $ and have a quality meal in a classic diner. While non-descript from the front, the blue glass façade and stairs give way to a true railcar-style American greasy spoon! Food, service and prices were excellent. I may have found a new lunch spot! Good show, Very Sporting! Cost: $ Fare: 4/5 read more

We saw there were great reviews for Star Diner, so we decided to check it out! We forgot Star Diner only accepts cash, but there's an ATM in the restaurant so you can always withdraw some cash as needed! Star Diner looks just like your typical diner - bussin', lively, and packed! But the service was still so quick! I did have to use the bathroom here and the reviews talking about the bathroom here were definitely not exaggerations! When they say it's small, it is definitely tiny!! There was JUST enough room to sit down on the toilet. You have to sidestep to get to the toilet and wash your hands after. Just a fair warning but don't let the tiny bathroom stop you from coming here! My husband ordered a grilled cheeseburger and it looked oddly sad?? It was strange how it was served open face on slices of bread, but once we put them together - OOF! It was the perfect amount of savory, buttery, and cheesy. Don't let this difference get in the way of ordering the grilled cheeseburger! I also ended up ordering the pancakes with eggs! The pancakes were huge and so filling! The eggs were also mild in taste, but we ended up liking that because they tasted so comforting. Overall, Star Diner definitely deserves 5 stars! We loved the whole experience here, even its comically small bathroom. read more

As classic as diners get. Cash only, coffee hits the table minutes after you sit down, and the food not much longer after you order. Tuna melt is buttery and fresh, pancakes are great, and the homefries are delicious and crispy without being greasy. The only thing disappointing was the pickle. If you're looking for a super affordable and satisfying breakfast, definitely check this place out! read more

Nice, quaint diner with a 1960s retro ambiance. My fiancé and I came here based on the Yelp reviews as unfortunately all of the other diners we've tried since moving to White Plains have been quite terrible if I'm being honest. Our favorite diner in Westchester is BLD in Larchmont/New Rochelle so we were surprised to find a diner with White Plains that actually had good diner food! We will definitely be returning! Service: our waitress was kind and quick to seat us, she checked in on us a few times and always had a smile. The food also came out relatively quickly and at a good pace so kudos to the team on that. You can see the team cooking and at work right over the counter. Food: Very tasty and didn't disappoint. I had a great spinach and tomato omelette with home fries and toast + a single pancake. The omelette was delicious. The single pancake was slightly burnt but still tasty, I could live with it. My fiancé loved it haha so we differed on that one. My orange juice was given to me right from the Tropicana paper box vs. a glass but that was fine (just unexpected) and he had a coffee which he really enjoyed and said would go back for. Appreciate the team keeping yummy good and affordable diner food alive! We need more places like this. Payment: cash restaurant only, there is an ATM out front. Area: the diner is right across from the White Plains Hospital but the block itself isn't as built up at the rest of the city. The crowd was a mix bag of folks who worked at the hospital and folks from the nearby buildings. I definitely recommend this diner if you're looking for good quality diner food, a retro vibe that's true to the diner experience, good service, at a great price. read more

This is a great dinner I have been here like 3 or 4 times I had to find some place to eat during lunch while I was working remote. The staff is super friendly. They only accept cash but they have one in the front for ease of use which is great. The food is also pretty tasty and I would definitely recommend if you are around the area, fast service too read more

This is a cute little diner with only four booths that looked like something out of the 1950s. We stopped here while passing through the area and looking up where to go on Yelp. This place had good reviews, so we decided to give it a go. The food was pretty decent. I had the french toast and bacon. The bacon was very crispy, and the French toast was great. Portions were HUGE and kept me full all through the night. Our waitress wasn't the best and seemed annoyed to be there taking our orders. Other than the service, though, the experience was fine. The bathrooms are very tiny and cramped though, so warning if you need to go there. read more

Second time we visited this diner My eggs I'm so particular with - over medium believe it or not, is very hard to make for most! My eggs were perfect!!!

Small diner with a Florida-vibe! Only 4 booths. Fare is mostly sandwich, eggs, bacon, juice coffee, tea, steak and omelette. They need uniformity in cutlery and mugs. My mug was worn: logo rubbed off. My steak sandwich was on the tough side. Bump into local attorneys and pilots who come here for a hefty plate of food! Neat morning rush - good coffee.

I hate to disparage this place, cause the people seem nice, but it appears to be filthy as the table I sat at wreaked of bodily fluids...if you go further back, then you are near the toilets and that isn't great either...food is typical diner fair...can't go too wrong with eggs and toast, but this place needs a serious hosing down! read more

Lovely diner with the most accommodating and friendly staff! When I came in, it was about 70% full. Ten, maybe fifteen minutes into my meal, it bumped up to 110%. It was quite obvious they had loyal regulars. As for the environment, what you see from the window is what you get. The place is pretty small, but like someone else said, it has the cozy feel of that typical American diner (though for the most part, it is Spanish lol). The food is decent. I ordered the steak and eggs, and while the steak is just a regular steak (you have to season it with salt and pepper yourself), it wasn't too bad. Also, a cash only establishment. read more

If you like an old time diner, this is the one you want. From the old train car shaped exterior to the counter, stools, and booths inside, this place has that authentic diner look. The food is decent too although I can only speak to the eggs and omelets from personal experience. I've never heard anyone complain about it though. read more

This place is tiny and does not have any larger tables/booths. We had our 3 kids and there was no space for high chairs, so the baby sat on our laps. But this is a classic diner with friendly servers and delicious food. We had pancakes, French toast and a pastrami sandwich. All were excellent. read more

When I was a kid, it seemed like every diner was just like the Star; a menu packed with diner classics, waiters quickly serving huge platters of piping hot food, counter seats facing the grill, and consistently delicious meals no matter when you went. Unfortunately, the reality in Westchester today is that diners mostly suck. Why? My take is that they are owned and staffed by a new generation who has no idea what made these places great back in the day. The food is boring and inconsistent, the decor is tired and outdated, and the service can be slow or surly. Star Diner brings everything back to where it should be. The food is sensational, the staff is quick, and the atmosphere is classic NYC diner. Funny that it took me a few years of crappy Westchester diner meals to finally discover this gem. Five stars. read more
