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

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 The food is boring and inconsistent, the decor is tired and outdated, and the service can be slow or surly.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

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

Phenomenal "hole in the wall" spot. One of the best breakfast places in Westchester County and everything else is great too!

Awesome food. Large portions. Everything was cooked fresh, to order, served hot. Breakfast and lunch were both fantastic. If I lived closer, I would eat there everyday. Prices are soooo reasonable. Friendly, efficient staff. The whole crew is amazing. They work as a team. Definitely going back. read more

Absolute hidden gem! Tiny, cozy diner that feels like home with a very family friendly vibe. Corned beef hash was delicious and our server made us feel so welcome. I'll go back any time I'm in white plains! read more

Really enjoyed this place. It has that small NY diner charm. Food was cheap, fast, and good. People working behind the counter were nice as well. read more

This is a great little cash only diner. So glad to have found.. Will be back when working in area for sure. Incredibly clean and fast. My egg white omelette was maybe best I have ever had. Nice staff read more

This place is busy busy busy, small, and loud. But due to that the service was fast which i loved. Food was very good (chicken club sandwich, home fries, egg and cheese sandwich, french fries)...and yeah, coffee..so good! I mean only pro diners make good coffee. Try to get a table since the seats at the front can get you loud screams in your ear (servers, owners yelling for orders). Also, the place is not in a great area and is run by a family owned business. I am coming back read more

Star Diner - Pancakes were okayish (by chance?) But other food was good and served fast - Diners Near Me - White Plains, New York

This place is good! Came here with my family visiting from CA and they liked it too. The service was very fast, the food quality was great, and got lucky with a seat when we walked in since I.T was busy. Don't forget to take cash (no CC) read more

Good basic diner. The owner is always there and sometimes a little invasive. Kinda pricey for all of the food mostly coming out of boxes or bags. The only few things made fresh, are the soup or a few of the specials. "City Limits", a mile away, is waaaay better. And parking read more

Really mediocre food. Me and my fiance came here for dinner and much to our reluctance after seeing the entrance decided to try it anyway because we saw there were customers. We ordered the Yankee pot roast with mash and corn $10 and meatloaf with mash and peas and carrots $10. The pot roast was dry, under seasoned and unmemorable. It wasn't even a real pot roast, it was 6 slices of beef in a tomato type of gravy. The mash was okay and the corn was straight out of the can. The meatloaf meal was basically what you could get from a frozen tv dinner from Stouffer's. Staff is nice but there was also some kind of language barrier or confusion, I asked for the Italian bread and got wheat toast instead... At $24 (including tip) I expected better. We should have stuck to the diner staples like breakfast and all things fried. read more

First time in White Plains and the Concierge recommended this place. We had some trouble finding street parking and had to wait a bit inside to get a seat for breakfast, but once we got a chair, we were blown away with the prices, the chef's ability to remember orders and the way the whole place functioned! It has been around for 90 years and I can see why! The food was awesome and the coffee was good too. My wife had the french toast and I had the Sausage and Eggs. Our friends got the Cornbeef Hash x2 and Bagel Sandwich. Everyone had a great meal for cheap eats. You really cannot go wrong with the portions-to-price ratio here. Love it all, keep up the good work guys! read more

This is a neighborhood gem. Efficient, homey, and the food is always great. It's no frills and no fuss and they work so hard. It's our new go-to on the weekends. read more

I have to apologize about finding the screw in the corned beef hash. It was from the dental implant I had just began having done & not the food. My comments on the corned beef hash & poached eggs still stand though. It was bad. read more

Great food! They serve delicious food without having the prices of a bigger diners. I ate a short stack of pancakes with eggs and bacon. Coffee was also good. My wife had egg Benedict and my daughter had crepes. Local place wth tons family feel. read more

This place is classic old school "caboose" style diner with amazing food, super friendly, quick service. Best breakfasts, burgers, and fish & chips I've had in White Plains. Gets crowded quickly but 100% worth any wait. read more

Good, quick breakfast. Very standard diner food. Service was fast and orderly. Food was cooked fresh to order. Very typical, comfortable diner feel. French toast was ok. Eggs and omelettes were over cooked, but very cheesy. Overall, would suggest for every day dining. read more

Small little shop that has really good selection of diner foods. Really enjoyed going there. Food was delicious and so amazingly good valued. Drove an hour just to come here and the drive was definitely worth it. We had 5 people so it was a little difficult seating all of us. But was very cozy. Food was served super quickly too and the worker there gave us plenty of time to decide what we wanted. Maybe not everyone wants to drive an hour for a diner but we definitely liked it a lot. Worth going back for another visit for sure. read more

So glad we stopped here before checking in our hotel. We drove from Chicago and didn't want "Fast Food" or to pay to much for a quick bite. Food was good. Coffee was good. Staff was good. Be prepared, it's a small Diner and has limited seating. CASH ONLY. But we came and quickly found seats for a Saturday morning. Will for sure comeback and get me a sandwich for lunch to go. read more

This is my first visit to White Plains. Looked for a breakfast place and this cozy diner fit the bill! Close to the downtown district and my breakfast was less than $10. Great food. fast friendly service varied menu!!! Excellent and highly recommended! read more

Star Diner - The restaurant! - Diners Near Me - White Plains, New York

It's a divey joint but we loved it!! There is limited seating but it's worth the wait. Wonderful menu, made quick and hot! We have had the following: Hot cakes (awesome, according to my daughter), omelettes are wonderful, corned beef hash (my favorite), breakfast sandwiches and hamburgers. My daughter fell on the way, not near the diner, and needed some help and they treated her like one of their own. Very awesome place open 24 hours!! read more

Best diner, so good every time I come. Great feel cheap and amazing food. Breakfast and lunch!

OK, if you're looking for fancy, or trendy, this isn't it. This is an honest, hole-in-the-wall diner with very few booths, great counter service, and truly good food. Stopped in here for breakfast before getting on the train back to NYC. The waitress calls everyone hon and shouts out the orders in old-fashioned diner-speak. The guys working the grill are fast and furious, and everything is perfect. My omelette was great, my buddy's eggs were done just to his liking and we loved everything. We were in and out in under a half hour. Cash only, and watch those meters if you're there after 9. read more

This is a great little diner hidden away behind a storefront across the street from White Plains hospital. Super busy neighborhood with folks and hospital employees. I ordered an omelette - huge portion full of veggies w/ homefries, toast, coffee all for around $10 - can't beat those prices for the area. Friendly and efficient waitstaff, definitely will be back! read more

I love vintage diners and I search them out where ever I go. I love them not only for what they serve but for what they look like. My favorite diners are the really old school prewar streamlined and art deco joints that are so rare today. I will not give a place total love just because of it's architecture though. Case in point, the Summit in Summit, NJ has an amazing original building and equally amazing food. The South Street diner in Boston has it going on for great vintage look but their food sucks! I had the pleasure of visiting The Star in White Plains the other night and it was just spot-on great! The western omelet was classic, the homefries were delicious and the coffee was as good as Vassilaros (unless it was Vassilaros?). The creamy rice pudding was the perfect desert. The place has that amazing vintage feel, warmth and geometry that only a 1930s -1940s diner can have. It must have been really great before the large building next door was built, boxing the original front into an alley. It is so great that the owners keep this place going and do it so well. The staff was super nice and everything was so well made. The downtown White Plains neighborhood is lucky to have such an amazing, authentic classic diner! Check it out, it truly is as good as it gets for the style. read more

What a dump. What's with the 5 star reviews? This place is only good if you work in the area for a quick bite. Like we actually drove here, we were thrown off by the average 4 star review. I was disgusted at the entrance but we were on the road and had to get going. It's tiny, cramped, drafty, and you will come out infused with nasty cheap bacon odor. The food is just disgusting. Take the absolute cheapest ingredients, throw it on a greasy grill and call it a day but don't call it good food. Awful disgusting slop. People giving it 5 stars are out of your minds! The bacon is like shoe leather, chewy, and very piggy. You will be tasting that pigginess over and over, all the way home, every time it repeats in your mouth. Blech! read more

Fast pasted, organized, professional and the best diner food around. Manager was present and shows he cares. Waitress went above and beyond to ensure our food was correct and made sure we were ok. Great breakfast spot!! read more

I love the service and the food. And the staff is very friendly, I'd recommend everyone to eat there

Love their steak and eggs for breakfast on the menu. Also, Sat. don't miss the gulash special....hmmm

we were really disappointed by the food we got for take out tonight. we got chicken noodle soup, home fries, chicken tenders, and fries. it was all packaged very poorly for takeout, the bag fell apart and the soup ended up spilling on me. the soup wasn't very good and the home fries were undercooked and unseasoned. the fries and chicken tenders were also undercooked. read more

Loved this great hole in the wall diner. Great food! Fast service and prices. I will be back.

Completely unassuming on the outside. As we walked up to the front door, I commented to my two friends "I don't think this is the all-American diner we were looking for".. Wrong. Once in, we realized we were in one of those old stainless steel dining car style diners which so many of them were and still are in. Small, a wee bit cramped but perfect, and good diner food. The burgers were everything you'd expect from an All-American greasy spoon. Buns were toastes, burgers juicy.... Hey, you aren't getting five star cuisine here and I doubt you're getting organic meats.. But this is classic comfort food that everybody craves from time to time. If you're anywhere near by, give it a try, you'll like it. read more

Not a bad little diner. Pure vintage... it looks like they built a street-facing facade on top of an old-school diner car that sits sideways on the block. Food was good, not the best diner food ever, but pretty serviceable. Atmosphere and decor were top shelf. Note: cash only. read more

AMAZING DINER!!! Excellent excellent food, fresh, tasty, and small things like veggies being properly diced for omelettes show they care about the food. Also VERY REASONABLY priced, like old school diner prices, with great amount of food and quaint seating. Warm, friendly service. Bonus they have lotto too! RECOMMEND for anyone looking for a traditional diner experience. I will be back as much as I can. read more

This is an adorable tiny little diner with very friendly service. Nothing fancy, but solid, reliable decent diner food. Conveniently located across from the hospital, its clean and ordering to go is easy. read more

OMG - people, how can you possibly give this place 4 stars or more??? For starters, parking sux; dingy "entry way". Hamburgers were obviously frozen (from Costco?), fries undercooked, no choice of toast (undercooked white is what you get), almost raw home fries. Needed an extra side of fries and it took a while for someone to care enough to take our order. Won't give it one star since we didn't get sick ~ read more

Food is fabulous!! Prices are fabulous. I'd recommend this place highly. It's very small but just so good. Homemade food!
