We've been here many times. I like it for the beer list, the family-friendly atmosphere, and the relatively consistent food offerings. I see a lot of reviewers were unimpressed with the food, but I think they should consider that Stars is really more like a diner. You don't order or expect filet at a diner, you know? Give credit where credit is due. It's a good default go-to for drinks and casual fare. read more

I'm a huge breakfast fan, and stars did not disappoint. For a quality and affordable breakfast with a gorgeous view of Hingham Harbor, this is a must visit. read more

I went there with my elderly uncle for breakfast this past week June 2013, right after Father's day for breakfast. A long ride from Quincy but a place we thought would still live up to its long standing reputation. NOT ANY MORE We got the specials. It was horible, really horrible.There were 10 potato chuncks I took from the batch and pointed outto the waitress. they were like coal.... all the way through no sign of ever being a potato. She apologized and we told her it isn't her fault. She took it back to the kitchen. Burnt to a crisp. Is that a new trend . I don't think so. The coffee was excellent , the waitress was excellent.... the food came out in a reasonable amount of time and the price was good.... The eggs were supposed to be scrambled but not so much lots of egg white mixed it. Toast cold I think it was toasted too soon. WE did get one special taken off the bill while my elderly uncle choked down his entree.As I said the waitress was very nice and she was left a great tip. It isn't her fault. What got to me is the manager Karen didn't seem upset at all. something else. Tried to get me to try Even after wefinshed and we were drinking up our coffee the kitchen kept producing burnt potatoes. and other burnt items It is not healthy to eat food that is burnt. Special or no special. However the coffee is great and our waitress as well. TRAIN your cook not to burn the potatoes and to mix the eggs enough so the whites aren't showing thru as little specs...yuk This place needs to be visited by Gordon Ramsey.... read more

Breakfast is great. Love the grilled muffins! Lunch is nothing spectacular. Although, the buffalo chicken rangoons are a must.

Great spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The food is awesome and the beer selection is always on point. Service is excellent and always with a smile. If your feeling adventurous ask the bar tender for a scary pickler. read more

Love the gluten free options! I was amazed with the amount of choices I had! Can't wait to go back

If you want a cozy neighborhood type atmosphere, good selection, tastey dishes then give it a try.

Great food, drinks, and service. Always a good time! Bridget is the best bartender! Always makes great drinks, very attentive and has good suggestions. Great spot !:) read more

This place is like the very definition of a dependable average to slightly above average neighborhood place that serves mostly straightforward American comfort foods. By all indications, by that description, I should be giving this place 3 stars, not 4. Why the extra star... The buffalo chicken rangoons! Chunks of buffalo chicken and cheese flash-fried in wonton skins. How can you go wrong? You simply can not. These can not be beat. Several other restaurants have added these to their menus, and they are only a pale comparison to these ones. I know it's not exactly the most health-conscious thing you could be eating, but trust me, go there, go there now, get the buffalo chicken rangoons, and you will thank me for it. Oh and they do a solid breakfast also. Good spot on a weekend morning if the crowds aren't too bad. read more

Gotta love stars, great pieces and the menu is varied. Great beers! I love this spot and always come back.. Breakfast is the bomb . Com

I love this place! It is unassuming but really cool. The food is pretty much "comfort" oriented, but, unlike most places like this, they have very many vegetarian​ options. Their beer menu is great, and if it is a nice day you can see the sea coming in. read more

I love Stars. I have never had a bad meal here. The shrimp scampi appetizer is the best I have had anywhere. My fiance and I visited this past weekend and he had the ahi tuna meal which he said was excellent and we shared the fishermans platter. Usually fried food is greasy and sits in your stomach but this was not and all of the seafood tasted so fresh. The pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich is to die for. Definitely go here you won't be disappointed! read more

I really, really like Stars for what it is - and I'm noticing that the people giving Stars bad reviews are doing so because they are thinking it's something it's not. The food is good to very good for the most part and quite reasonably priced - particularly for the area - and as a result, Stars is INSANELY busy on the weekends, particularly in the mornings. Avoid it then if you don't like waits. It's a great place to bring the kids for breakfast or lunch - again - if you can stand the wait on the weekend. At night, Stars transforms into a pretty cool bar scene. It's a great place to meet up with friends, grab a bite to eat and socialize. It's not as hip as say, a Tosca or a Scarlett Oak Tavern, but it's not a dive bar either. It's a good alternative to say, the 99's bar or something along those lines. Tons of TVs - good place to watch a game if you're so inclined. Again, it's super-popular for a reason and that reason is the good, cheap food and the atmosphere - but you HAVE to go at the right times - and if you go when it's busy and you have no patience, you are going to have a lousy time. Personally, I really like the place and I'm glad I live as close as I do. Just wish I could make it more often. Unfortunately, like many of the other reviewers here, my wife has absolutely no patience and usually prefers that we go elsewhere. Oh well. read more

Went last September for lunch. Silverware was filthy, tables and chair-backs dirty, and food plates upon arrival full of the cook's thumb prints. No need to comment on the food or service. Best avoided! read more

$68 bucks for potatoes and onions....I went with my sister and her hubby and you know ideas spread ...well one suggested the Shepard's pie and another onion soup ..adn we all ordered it... well the onion soup was way too salty... now I always think onion soup is salty//but this was very salty..next came the Shepard's pie...or as we called it potatoes....about 80% was potatoes..( granted the potatoes were good) the remaining 20% was a mixture of vegetables, onions and meat so end result is there was only1-2 ounces of meat..my sister complained and the waitress said she told the manager and they did nothing.. $12 for a plate of potatoes.. I left saying I would never go again read more

I love Stars for the simple fact that everything I have tried there tastes delicious. Mozzarella sticks, fries, sweet potato fries, mac & cheese, burgers, sandwiches, all taste amazing. The only problem is deciding what to get. read more

I was hesitant when my Mom suggested this place for breakfast, as I am not interested in the pretentious Hingham crowd, however, it turned out to be a great idea! The waitstaff was super accommodating and friendly. We came later in the morning, missing the rush, and everyone there was still friendly, and even cracked a joke or two. The bloody Mary was great, as were my eggs benny. I've told a few people about my new love for this place, and I will be back soon for sure. read more

Not a bad place. Their burgers are always very good. And, if you are looking for a good beer, they have all the great ones. Not bad for a a family night out. read more

Never again. Food was terrible, service was worse. After reading the other reviews apparently the stars must align during breakfast but I will most definitely not be giving it a chance. The servers don't know and certainly could care less about the menu. Bartenders aren't capable of making simple cocktails. They've never heard of a washington apple... eeekkk... so I ended up with a malbi with old pineapple juice. Can't even begin to explain how awful the food was. Do yourself a favor and try anywhere else. read more

What a great experience. We brought our grandchildren to Stars for breakfast on a Wednesday morning. The children's specialty pancakes were devoured to the last bite and my husband and I got their value breakfast. For $4.50 we had eggs, bacon, real hashbrowns, endless coffee and amazing toast. Our server, Lisa, treated us as if we were honored guests instead of the table every server dreads. There were so many tempting things on the menu I would love to come back. read more

My BF and I recently went to Stars ( 2/22/14) after once again trying to attempt lunch at Whalburgers...lucky for us that it was to crowded and we headed to Stars. We arrived and it to had a waiting list however we grabbed two seats at the bar. Amy was the bartender and she was not only knowledgeable about the Beer list we questioned but friendly,quick and top knotch! We ordered the sampler appetizer steak bomb egg rolls, sliders and buffalo chicken rangoons, thinking this was not enough we also ordered the chicken quesadilla what an abundance of food, next time we'll order just one thing. We ended our visit with a choclate expresso martini which the bartender gladly split in two which was plenty;).. I would have gave 5stars the only disappointment was I had had the Buffalo chx Rangoons a few years back and they were out of this world, this time they lacked chicken, to much Rangoon not enough stuffing. Will return soon. read more

This is a pretty cool place on Hingham Harbor. It's a great place to go in the summertime. They make a GREAT turkey burger here, and they also have delicious sweet potato fries. A staple during the summer. read more

I'm surprised by the negative reviews of this place... perhaps my experience was more an anomaly then a regular occurrence? After missing breakfast time completely, we needed a place to go that was still serving around noontime. Found this place on a whim on the way back to Boston. It was awesome! The food was great, the service was excellent, we got our orders in quickly and food even quicker. Loved the sweet potato home fries and grilled corn bread - they had nice alternatives to your typical egg, home fry and toast options. Very reasonably priced as well. As far as cleanliness goes, there was a disproportionate number of children there with either apathetic or I'm-better-than-picking-up-after-my-kid-attitude parents, because we witnessed multiple tables of kids absolutely destroying their food and throwing it on the floor. The table that got up next to us literally left more food on the carpet than what they actually ate. I watched staff clean it up quickly before resetting...so perhaps this is where the cleanliness issues comes from. read more

We have driven by this place for many years but i am so happy we tried the breakfast yesterday. Great service and delicious food, my husband had the hash Benny , with baked beans, he loved it , said it was the best breakfast he has ever had!! I had the Mary Kathryn's omellete , loved the apple bacon in it and the thick cinnamon toast is delicious.We will be back. read more

Good standby for locals in Hingham. Caters well to families as it has a good selection and reasonable prices. Crowded in summer on weekends as the Hull beach crowd stops in on the way through town. Love their eggs Benedict. read more

Great beer and great food! Servers are always friendly, along with bar staff. Love the buffalo chicken Rangoon, and the chicken waldorf salad wrap is another family favorite. Truthfully you can't really go wrong everything I've tried has been delicious. One minor complaint, when they have live music it's a bit overwhelming for the size of the room. The few performers I've seen were very talented. I've just never been a big fan of screaming/straining to communicate with people. Other than that it's a must try! read more

We have been enjoying breakfasts, lunches, and the occasional late supper at Stars for most of their 25 years in business. The food is almost always consistently good, the menu kept updated with new and interesting twists on old favorites. This past Saturday, I enjoyed the Pressed Cubano sandwich served with a boatload of hot crispy fries, and my husband had the new Turkey Stack club, served on interesting pecan rye toast, also with fries. Prices are reasonable for the value of their offerings, but my one gripe is the inattention to making anything in the place more comfortable. Besides the noise level, the booths and tables have never been updated as far as I can tell. Tables wobble and booth seats are saggy. Small price to pay, I suppose, when everything else - including the friendly service - is spot on. If it were a sunnier day, we might have done takeout and sat over by the harbor. Maybe next time. read more

Excellent clam chowder ! Great menu, something for everyone. I like to sit on the bar side. Live music on some nights.

This was one of my favorite places to go at night in hingham until my whole party got denied service because they said they could tell we had been drinking before. Only one of the 4 members of our party was visibly drunk, but after talking with management they still would not serve us. All of us were completely respectable, but even after trying to reason with management, but they wouldn't have it. I've observed far worse behavior at bars that has rendered people unserveable. This was nowhere near that. Absolutely outrageous that they would not serve us. Definitely not the place you want to go if you want to drink at all read more

Usually I love Stars, I really do. The evening servers overall are great and the menu has lots of options. Lately though, I have been there several times for lunch or breakfast in the past few months. Every single time I have had the same miserable waitress. As someone who was in the restaurant business for decades, I honestly don't think it is an understatement when I say this girl makes the experience really suck. If you are not about to order several rounds of drinks and rack up a guaranteed huge tab, she could not care less that you are in her section other than to make sure you leave quickly so she can turn your table. She never checks back for refills on drinks, NEVER asks how the food is, and usually forgets anything you might ask for when the food is dropped off. I got the Cobb salad today, and I am almost ashamed to say, I was disgusted by it. It was covered with undercooked bacon gristle, mashed egg yolk, the chicken was slimy, and the lettuce was brown and wilted. It had a very unpleasant smell as well that made me kind of gag. We were in a rush, so I didn't want to complain. After I picked all the bacon off and placed it on a napkin we waved her over, from where she was chatting at the bar, for the extra napkins we had requested 10 minutes earlier. No smile, no apology, just the general sense that we as customers were a nuisance. She saw the pile of nastiness on the table, looked at it, and still never even bothered to ask the prerequisite "how is everything?" (Per usual). Again, I would love to give a better review for this restaurant as it was formerly one of my favorites, but if this server is the only option for service before dinner time, you are FAR better off spending your money elsewhere. read more

Stars On Hingham Harbor - Seafood Near Me - Hingham, Massachusetts

I've lived in the area over ten years, and i've only recently started going to Stars. In a nutshell: this place has a very friendly bar staff and great food - steak & cheese spring rolls and buffalo chicken rangoons. They have an ever-changing, impressive selection of seasonal beers on tap. I hate to mention this but it's become my favorite place to watch the Patriots. For some reason it doesn't get crowded for games yet it has great TVs all around and you can actually hear the game. Oh yeah don't forget to try the $.25 Dry Rub Wings during games. They are to die for!! read more

I love this place. Breakfast here is great (I've had the french toast and the omelettes, both are perfect) and the buffalo chicken rangoons are my favorite appetizer. The food here is delicious, I love the ambiance, and the service is great. I'd highly recommend this restaurant! read more

you know what i changed my mind, the food is hella mediocre but what do you expect for hingham? it's really just whatever, can't expect anything better to be honest... read more

Parking can be a little tight but across the street there is a huge public lot which is never full. Food is great, decor is fine, I respectfully disagree in Alexandria's review. And trust me, I've never seen flies. This is in Hingham, where the posh and elite live. Flies not tolerated. This place has been in business for 28 years, most Hingham residents have never seen a fly anywhere. Good place to catch a Pat's game in the bar, but be aware unless you want to sit at a table (yes, in the separate bar section there are about 4 tables) the bar only seats about 10 so get there well before game time. Would have given it 5 stars but some (not all) of the waitstaff are less than attentive and/or overworked; however just engage any waits-person, yours or not, and they will bring you what you want. Don't be shy. This is a restaurant you can sail or boat to. Docks and moorings are across the street, but contact the harbormaster first to check. No dress code, this is relaxed and friendly. Comfortable waiting area with benches and chairs if you have to wait, but I've only had to wait more than 3 minutes perhaps 5% of the time. I'd guess I've been there over 100 times since they opened. Last advice- if for some reason you go there and you don't like the wait or whatever, avoid the Liberty Grill next door, horrid food, rude management. read more

Love love love the brunch here! The healthy menu give me great options for my restrictive diet and the sweet potatoes home fries are phenomenal!! read more

Today, i ordered the vegetarian omelet . The cheese was goat cheese and it had turned bad. Rancid. It was sour to the taste. Just be careful what you eat here, now. I still had to pay full price. Yes, i told the waitress. My first posting to Yelp! Home fries and toast were great! read more

Food is usually good, as busy as it gets, they turn over the tables pretty quick. Quintessential diner.

I've been here on many occasions and have never had a bad meal. Everything is great and the prices are reasonable. The ribs are some of the best I've ever had. read more

Went a few times mid week and was ok. Then we went on a couple of Sunday mornings and we decided not again. Everyone in packed in and it is barely possible to make your way between the tightly packed seats. None of us enjoyed our breakfast, but it could have been the feeling of been so packed into the place. The place is highly priced for the food served. read more

This place is awesome! We are beer snobs and they offer a nice craft beer selection! Lovin the Entitled IPA so we had to follow it to the originators @ Stars! The meal was great...no complaints from our party of 7; buff chick rangoon, steak bombs, tots, steak tips, turkey burgers, asian salad....everything was tasty! We can't wait to return....I want an Entitled IPA t shirt anyway! read more
