    Great little piece of history. For sure a local favorite. Very friendly staff, great food with reasonable prices. We went at breakfast and it was a nice, quiet comfortable breakfast.

    Pancakes and heavy syrup!  Follow my food adventures on Instagram @CheatDay_SA

    Saturday morning in the height of the busy season for Canyon Lake and we wanted some breakfast. Got a seat at Startz Cafe without much wait at all (although it did seem to fill up while we were there). I had never been to this longstanding staple of the Canyon Lake area, but it was very cool. Definitely has an old school feel to it, and you get the sense most of the staff has been there for years. I sampled the biscuits and gravy and had the pancakes along with a couple tacos. This wouldn't be where I'd go specifically for tacos, but if you want an American style classic breakfast, I don't think you'll be disappointed trying this place! The pancakes were light and fluffy and gravy on the biscuits is just how it should be! If you're in the area, give them a shot! Follow my food adventure on Instagram @CheatDay_SA

    We continue to come here almost every week for a great breakfast! Service is always fast and friendly.

    Cash or check only.

    UPDATE: REPOSTING THIS!…read more "Look... the people were really nice. However, the food was pretty rough. Barely any meat in the pho when taken to-go. the soup is not your typical pho, it was a weird variant and maybe i am unfamiliar with this style of pho, but it was truly disappointing. The serving size was so small for $20 per pho and it was $8 for 2 crummy spring rolls that had one shrimp cut in half for each spring roll. The other reviewer that said the peanut sauce was wack, was correct. it was not the normal sauce, it was some weird oil with peanut butter bits floating in it. The crab rangoons were not bad. I just really would not recommend this to someone who really loves pho." - I said this a month ago and took it down because the owner called to harass me questioning why I left a bad review. She called me 2-3 times at 9-10pm at night trying to get ahold of me. She left a voicemail saying she wanted to talk in person and explain to me the purpose of "tax" and "having to pay for bills." At this point I was scared and removed my review but let me just say, if I could leave 0 stars, I would.

He finally does and I tell him he should have cashed me out before taking their order or at least after the 5 mins they were trying to decide what to order . It was just no reason for that I'm a loyal customer for over 9 years . Never been pushed off to the side like that while my order sat there. My food was cold . Totally disappointed in this whole situation. Please get better people to be at the window or at least 1 person for taking orders and someone else for giving online orders .
