If you're looking for ambiance, the North Star restaurant isn't for you. If you're looking for an…read moreexcellent burger and are near Buchanan, VA, the North Star will not disappoint. The North Star is a clean Virginia roadside diner offering delicious food. My neighbor and I were visiting Buchanan to have his John Deere mower serviced, and we asked the salespeople where we could get a good lunch. The staff unanimously recommended the North Star, but we were cautioned not to order the double-cheeseburger unless we were very hungry. They were right. It is rare to get a burger prepared exactly the way I prefer one (cheese, ketchup, and loaded with grilled onions), and the North Star didn't disappoint. My friend ordered the double-cheeseburger and loved his meal as well. The fries were really good, and reminiscent of New York diner fries. My wife and I have been back more than a few times when we are in the mood for an excellent burger.

Walk in and seat yourself, one server serves the whole room. The food is okay, needs salt and seasoning but good for the price. Myself and two children ate for $16, can't get breakfast anywhere else that cheap. Bring cash, as it is a cash only establishment.

Old school drive up hotdog and hamburger joint…read more I was in the area for business and decided to drop in after seeing the reviews. You pull up and it's curbside service. They literally come up to your car, take your order, and bring your food back. I loved the old school feel. It took no time for my food to arrive-about 7 minutes. I got a burger, onion rings, and a hotdog all the way. The onion rings were fresh, hot, and had the perfect amount of salt. The burger was well seasoned, had that crisp, grilled taste. The hotdog was good as well-chili was perfect. It was such a nostalgic feel and definitely a must visit for the experience.

Unfortunately, this was not up to par with CFA standards. Every dining table was unclean and…read morestayed that way throughout our time there. We ordered with the app and entered our table number for the order to be delivered. A young guy brought our order and said he would be right back with our drinks. Well, he went around helping other tables and did not return. We had to chase him down and he claimed he didn't know what we wanted. Yes, we finally did get the drinks and we ate our food outside at a table. Those had also not been wiped down and had food crumbs. We wiped them as best we could with napkins and sanitizer. The CFA was not crowded and it was a Wednesday late afternoon. I've been to many other ones that were on the ball with service. This restaurant really needs to do better.
