Old school fried chicken and burgers joint. Been here since I was a kid. My wife remembers coming as a teen for their still very popular burritos! The fried chicken is always piping hot and crispy. Never too oily in my opinion and a good amount of flavor on the crust and chicken itself. Their chicken sandwich is very old school tasting if that makes sense. A mom and pop type of chicken sandwich. Not a frozen concoction patty. The fries are middle of the road I'd say, but very tasty. They come half crispy and half limp, but it works because they aren't cut too thick. Friendly service and what appears to be a pretty fast drive-thru. Dining room and outside has been recently renovated. No more old walls and floor. An Edinburg classic indeed. Try them out and become a fan yourself. read more

First time here. Chicken was very hot. It was crispy outside and juicy inside. Better than the colonel or Chirch's. Service was quick. They take it to your table. Urge was good. Salad was just so-so. Will be back for the chicken. Drive thru wrapped around the building and the parking lot was full. People like this restaurant. You will too. read more

Food was good didn't take long to get. Service was good. Inside could be updated. I'd go back.

Great chicken and carrot cake. Always polite and fast service. Small family style decor.

Been hitting up Star-lite in Edinburg off 107. I've tried their regular burger, steak burger, onion rings, and burritos... service never fails to be quick, efficient, and the food is deceivingly simple looking but packed full of flavor. This is the fish sandwich from today...looks fairly innocent until you take the first bite. Check the ratio of fish to bread...and it had 2 filets on there as well. I love tartar, here they go with mayo, which also pairs well with the fish burger. Nicely cooked...the right amount of crisp on it, and very fairly priced. Where else do you find a fish burger for about $6? The answer...no where else. And there was some talk on here about burritos...well I've been digging these burritos since my childhood, over 30 years ago. I remember my parents taking me to eat burritos here as a child, well there's a reason why this location has lasted this long to where I can now take my own kids for a burrito. They are nicely fried, have plenty of filling, and are not dried out. Take notes Stripes...this is how burritos are done. This is an Edinburg staple for a reason...5/5 stars. read more

The food is always on point. The staff is humble and very hospitable. I love the atmosphere. It takes me back to when I was a kid.

Went to this place yesterday the restroom was dirty and a little dark cockroaches in the restroom and why do they fill up the cups with so much ice and it's 80% ice 20% drink and they make you pay for a refill??? What's that about the food is not the best the fries are flavorless service was good tho. read more

This place is a classic and super delicious and will always be recognized for the delicious burgers

The bacon cheeseburger combo was delicious. Service was fast. Very family friendly place. Clean place. Drive thru in a breeze.

the sevice was great when my family came a lot it was good 5 star and have high hopes on this place read more

I had heard a lot of positive things about this business, and was excited to try it, but was unfortunately left disappointed :( the fries were soggy and not fresh, the burrito was undercooked and the sweet tea wasn't of the quality I had expected based on what I knew about the place (tasted similar to lipton powder but with 3x the sugar). The burger was decent, but, (and I hate to say it because I really want to support small businesses over larger chains) a jack n the box meal and a burrito from stripes would have been a higher-quality and cheaper improvement. read more

When it came to eating at local burger joints in Edinburg, outside of Whataburger, Starlite wasn't really on my radar. I often went to Spot Burger or Hamburger King. So fast forward 40 years and I decided to give it a chance. I ordered burgers and fried chicken for the family. The burger was messy, and I'm not expecting it to look like it came from a 5-star restaurant, but the veggies (lettuce, tomato and onions) didn't look fresh. The top bun was cracked as if the bread had been sitting out in the open for a few days, regardless it was still an okay burger. The French Fries tasted like they could have had potential earlier in the day as my batch came in over cooked and burnt. The fried chicken was crispy but overcooked. Of course I came by 10 minutes before they were closing for the night. Late night dining isn't always the freshest or the tastiest as the workers are pretty anxious to close up and go home. I might go earlier in the day next time I'm back home. read more

I love this place. Burrito Supreme with extra pickles and an extra burrito...mmmm beans are my friends.

Favorite spot to eat for the moment. Burgers have a unique taste and whoever says it tastes bad is a hater.

They have the most delicious fish and shrimp plate..... it's so hard to choose whAt to eat when you go cause everything is so mouth watering .... the fried chicken is also top notch.... and the portions are way more than enough .... go for a lunch plate and you will leave with lunch and dinner read more

Very underrated and burgers are great! There isn't necessarily a service only because it is fast-food, however, I had no complications on service but obviously the food is the highlight of the entire restaurant. read more

I frequently support family owned local businesses, however if workers can't bother to provide decent customer service then it's off to the competition who can. Drive thru experience- middle aged woman #1 did NOT put my order through. And lucky me, I was between cars who ordered multiple combos, so I waited 20 minutes for a simple burger. Cashier (middle aged woman #2) didn't even apologize until I paid for my order and I was (rightfully) visibly upset. No small token of apology such as complimentary French fries for the inconvenience, just one "Sorry" AFTER I gave them my money and was told to park at the front of the store for my burger. I don't know who the bigger idiot is, the person working drive thru who claimed I only asked for the price of the burger (?!?! I did not ask-I read the sign- OWN UP to YOUR MISTAKE) or me for giving them business and sticking around for my burger. Thanks for wasting my time and gas! The biggest slap in the face was that they couldn't even be bothered to say sorry for the inconvenience we've caused you. Too bad there is not a corporate office to complain to, which is probably why this established business can get away with being unapologetic for their mistakes. Food was decent, but customers should not have to deal with discourteous workers, especially in the (greasy) food industry. read more

I have to give this place 5 stars, it's been open for 40 years or more I think and it's still going strong. The food is always on point even though it's a bit greasy or maybe that's just because of what I order lol it's always good hot and the customer service is always great as well. It's a clean place, inside everything is always picked up and they're always there to ask you the need anything if you do decide to eat inside. The drive thru they have is pretty fast and they never seem to mess up your order. I'll definitely be back as I've been coming since I can remember, gotta love that fried fish sandwich with fries you I have so please don't stop serving it. read more

This place has stood the test of time for one reason only! Great fried chicken & burgers! Been here since the 1950's ! Beats Churches & all the other fried chicken franchises! Highly recommend! Hope it's here a long long time! Great Job! read more

I loved it here!! Small burger joints are always the best. Definitely will come back!

After such good reviews I was really disappointed. For almost $7 I thought hey, they are in a building that should have been paid for long ago, no franchise fees and plenty of volume should get more then a thin burger ($1.00 at McD) and soggy fries. I was wrong. read more

this is what i see when i about to finish my burger..really?! 1st and last time i visit..gross! read more

This place has been around since I was young and now I enjoy sharing the Starlite experience with my kids!!! This is a must when visiting the great RGV!!! read more

Best chicken and burgers in town. Great prices and nice staff. You gotta try the fish sandwiches! #1 restaurant in Edinburg no doubt.

I love supporting small businesses because of places like this. These guys have THE DEFINITION of the classic cheeseburger. Toasted buttered bun, huge patty, melted cheese and just enough vegetables and served hot off the grill. I finally had the chicken tonight and while a little on the salty side, it was super delicious. This is one of my go to spots when I visit from out of town. My only complaint would be the fries. They're always super oily and need salt. read more

The drive thru service isn't the best the lady seemed upset and on top of that they gave us the wrong order.

The food here is AMAZING. I've been eating here since I was a child. The chicken is delicious. They also have great burgers, burritos, corn dogs, footlongs, shrimp plates, etc. It's sooo good and they usually have great customer service. The ladies are always very sweet. Love this place and it's my favorite fried chicken place for sure. read more

The prices have gone up and the quality down. My family and I got so sick when we ate there today. I don't recommend it to anyone.

Okay, so I know this is a burger joint but one day I went on a whim and bought chicken from here. By golly, it was so good that's the only thing I ever order when I come! I get the breast and thigh combo and man is that white meat juicy!!! Seriously, it beats Church's cuz their white meat tends to be dry. The fries are homemade and have a true spud taste they're not too gussied up which is great. I wanna taste potato when I eat fries anyway! I don't have much a complaint, the service is good, the food is good. If you want juicy fresh fried chicken come here! read more
