Massive and delicious omelette, $8.74 plus tip including coffee! Gotta love small town diners. This place is legit! Clean, great staff, terrific menu, huge portions. Plenty of parking. What’s not to like? I’ll be back!

Great place for breakfast. There's a separate breakfast menu & daily specials. Wish the blinds were a bit thicker- sun in our eyes

Good food. Waitress was good. Food is regular "home" cooking. Nothing fancy. Prices are very reasonable. They have a senior menu. They give you plenty of food.

It was not a pleasant experience at all. I had no particular problem with the staff or the place itself. My waitress was very nice and very professional. No worries for that part but the food is still the most important part and it's terrible. My dish was super greasy. My wife's has been in the freezer for a week, at least... I will not come back. And I doubt the issue is only a bad experience...

Love this restaurant. It'll always be special to me, because it's where I had a first date with the love of my life. I miss the charm of the old decor with the wood and darkness. It was good and romantic. While the new decor is beautiful and updated, it feels less homey. The food is still great though. They have such a wide variety to choose from, a very extensive menu with a choice for everyone. Even breakfast all day, which is amazing.The staff are friendly and it's very clean.

An okay at best restaurant. The food is average, nothing that shows any WOW feature. The salads always taste like they are premade and just sitting out. Prices aren't too bad for a family on a budget.

Breakfast crowd was intense, but they got us in and seated. Very busy Saturday morning, but worth the wait. The best fried potatoes I've ever had. My omlet was large and satisfying. A lot of food for your money. Plan to visit there again!

We were going before the corona virus and had good experiences. Today, we went back for the first time since the pandemic and the experience was just as good. Employees had on masks; no one sat at tables marked to be vacant. Customers wore masks to enter and exit but of course not while eating, drinking. Staff friendly.

I always liked the food and atmosphere of the restaurant before the covid virus, but was very disappointed the last time we visited a week ago. There were no signs about wearing masks or social distancing. When entering no staff had masks on and the social distancing was marked on the tables, but people were sitting in the marked tables for not sitting at. When host was questioned about this he said, They don't enforce it, so their not doing it. He told me if I had a problem with, i could eat elsewhere. I was disappointed because of his rudeness and lack of respect for their and our safety. Needless to say we went elsewhere. I'm not sure I will patronize them again. Such lack of concern for their health and safety and the customers if totally unforgivable.

I went to eat with a friend and our kids. I asked the waitress to sweep the food out from under the table. Croutons.. chicken.. just nasty... never did... hair in my food... during a pandemic a restaurant should be spotless. I even used my shoe to push the croutons out in the walk way thinking that would get her to clean it up. She only stepped on them made a gasp and walked away. The hostess asked how everything was. I told her. She tried to blame it on the bus boy. No its everyones fault. Everyone sees it. Everyone cleans it. I would never recommend this place.

1st time here. This place was near the hotel so I decided to try it. Btw, there are a lot of other Diners in the area. This particular Diner is clean, bright and nicely decorated. Kinda feels like you're at a wedding reception. No wait for a table, especially for a Saturday morning. Service was fast and with a smile. You can definitely tell it's a place for locals, manager and staff stopped to say hi to the regulars. The food was quick to come out, hot and fresh. It had that "Diner taste" that was good. Coffee was tasty as well. Will come again if ever in the area in the future. Leave full and happy at a great price.

Just like the other "diner/restaurants" in the area that are on par with this one, one visit and I knew I would never go back. With all of the decent restaurants in Hanover, there is no need to go here! This diner needs to visit any New Jersey diner to learn there is a way to serve palatable, pleasing to the eye food at affordable prices.

Good place for dinner. Had the seafood bisque instead of my usual salad, meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy and carrot-broccoli-cauliflower medley. Portions were just right, food wasn't piping hot but it was still good. Our table was near the registers, so it was a little chilly there. The only complaint from anyone in my party was the entrees were taking too long to get there!

What a wonderful experience here! Friendly owner and staff. Delicious food served promptly even on a busy Saturday night! We had the Salmon Florentine and a Chicken tomato, feta cheese, and olives linguine dish. Both seasoned well and absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail at this place! There’s a reason it has so many regulars!

The Starlight diner was okay. The food was good, prices good, coffee okay, service okay. It was quite busy but seating was quick. The hostesses barely smiled or put any effort into being extra pleasant. The atmosphere was average casual diner, nothing special. At least it was clean enough, though I didn't use the restroom so I can't speak to that. Overall I wouldn't choose to go again even though there wasn't anything particularly unpleasant about it.

Beautiful layout. Open space. Fireplace. Great food, bakery on site. Bonus: inexpensive. I had the broiled scallops. They were broiled to perfection and served with butter sauce. So amazing and they weren't those sad little scallops you get at most restaurants...they are the deep sea scallops. Just an amazing place.
