This was our first time going here so we didn’t really know what to order. Our waitress gave us some recommendations so we tried all of her recommendations. We had the 57 pasta, the chicken Alfredo, the Philly, and the Sundae waffle. Tonight’s special was Salisbury steak so we got that to go for our family at home. We also got the breakfast shoe which I think was our favorite thing! We noticed they have a breakfast buffet on Saturdays and Sundays and we are so tempered to make the drive to try it out because tonight’s food and service were so good. Their bathroom was clean and smelled amazing. The atmosphere was clean and comfortable. They also have a pie and cake case with European cakes so we had to try those too! The price point was incredible and even my kids couldn’t believe t

I stopped in for breakfast while staying in Tuscola on a business trip. The Star 57 Diner was pretty much what I expected from the photos, although I wasn’t quite prepared to be greeted by Elvis right inside the door. I originally assumed the name referred to nearby Route 57, but after looking around, it might also be about the age of the customers. I fit right in by ordering the senior special: a two-egg cheese omelet with hash browns and whole wheat toast. At only $8, it was a great deal. The omelet was genuinely delicious, and the service was excellent. The toast was perfectly fine. The hash browns, however, were brown on the outside, but undercooked inside and needed salt. I also had a bottomless decaf coffee for $2. It was on the weak side but still a good value. Overall, aside fro

Food was mehhh ... came out cold and didnt look fresh. After eating i went to use the bathroom and right at the door is a sign saying "clean up of vomiting and diarrheal events" ... never seen that before EVER in an establishment. Sounds safe ... not lol. Now im worried 🤣 More than likely won't choose this place again. Not to mention their toilet SEATS dont even fit their toilets. I felt like a toddler lol.

At first impression the place looked great. Atmosphere was awesome. The staff was friendly and prompt. The restrooms were not very clean esp on walls by the urinal. Fly’s were all over the restaurant. The food was good for my other party. For me it was not good. Asked for fresh fries and it was recooked and brought out after a minute. The coleslaw lacked flavor. The saving grace was the burger and chicken and rice. The place has great potential, the owner needs to focus on details to make the place succeed enormously. I will return one day and i hope it is better then. Update: 9/14 The restroom issue was addressed. 😊 Also the breakfast was great. It was buffet style however the food was very good.

Me and my mother have been wanting to eat at this place since first opened, we just never found the time but today we went and had a wonderful experience. The food was amazing, the staff and service was outstanding(friendly and warm conversation) I love the atmosphere that matches the very warm friendly staff and out standing filling food. I highly recommend
