Great breakfast with my honey! So cool to have a Honduran breakfast including black bean soup and platanos, while my husband ordered a traditional eggs/hashbrowns combo. Nice staff, fun Western decor. Love all the window booth seats. We’ll be back!

The new restaurant with the same name. I love the updated version. It is a wonderful cowboy/ ranch style restaurant.

The new Star Restaurant is an interesting mix of new and some of the old favorites. The restaurant has been updated and lots of staff to make sure all is going well. They are still getting up to speed, but we got our food fast and it was great. Lots of attention to detail. We went with the new offerings and glad I did. We will be back. Posted some photos of the dinner menus. Think they have different menus for different times of the day. Give them a try, you will love the food. I hope they might dim some of the lights. Was really bright in the back room.

Good breakfast and I look forward to going back. Other than the hash browns being too crispy, everything was spot on. The waitress was amazing and did a great job checking on us.
