Hadn't been here in a while but had a craving for their fried chicken. The restaurant itself is quite small but they do have a drive thru window for pickup our food came out quickly but wasn't hot just warm like when it sits under heat lamps the fries were Leo just warm to the touch. The flavor is good but I feel would have been better if it was hot they have an extensive menu to choose from not just fried chicken and burgers read more

Star-Lite Fried Chicken - 3 piece meal - American Near Me - San Juan, Texas

The place was small but still had enough room For about 9 tables. You order at a window. There was no one in line so it went fast. They take your name and bring you your order. Take 5-10 minutes to let it cool off. I burned my lips on the chicken when I bit into it. It was delicious though. I'm definitely going back. read more

Great food! Reasonably priced. Very pleasant employees. I call ahead and use the drive through. Always ready on time

Star-lite hits different than all other chicken places. They were getting so much business Golden Chick moved in next asap! The chicken is always hot, crispy and perfectly seasoned. They have mouth watering old fashioned hamburgers and can make them so many different ways. Those hidden jem is the Mexican burger! Even when I say I'm only getting a chicken plate I always manage to take some chicken for dessert lol. San Juan and OG Edinburg location are the best ones I've tried. Bring the family! They have something for everyone! read more

Service,whether in person or dine-in, the service is awesome @ the Star Lite in San Juan.I strongly recommend this restaurant

Ordered an 8 piece chicken only to go. Chicken was excellent both fresh and when reheated and comes with 8 rolls. Very good service through the drive thru but very little parking for eating in or waiting for your order. Didn't go inside so i don't know about seating. I drove 30 minutes to get there and it was worth it. read more

They said my 15 piece was in 15 minutes and it took them 45 minutes for my order to be ready!

Quick service and food is always good. Ambiance was good , quiet no heavy traffic on that day.

Love this place ... by far the most delicious fried chicken and fried fish in the RGV ... no other place comes close .... get the fish and shrimp combo plate you won't regret it .... trust me read more

We ate here yesterday for the first time. We selected this place based on the reviews. We were looking for good less greasy fried chicken and we found it.
