★★★★★ 5.0 Brad Bennett · Feb 2026

It's not a hotel it's a restaurant. Meals served family style with multiples courses of sides, you just choose the main dish. I couldn't recommend the experience highly enough. Their steaks are huge. The staff appears to be family and they throw down a mean spread as fast as you can put it away. Very good price for how much and what you get. We will be back.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Heaven Trevoc · Feb 2026

The food is so bad and it’s sooo expensive it’s hilarious that this is considered “fancy”. -the “steak sandwich” is literally just a steak between 2 pieces of bread -the beans, green beans, and pasta that come with entrees are just canned/premade and flavorless -the mac n cheese is a generous portion of Kraft -the bread pudding is horrible unless you like soggy bread sitting in a massive puddle of butter with a shot of alcohol over it -the “flan” is not sweet or custardy it’s like a fried egg patty and burnt on the bottom I’m pretty sure that we could have made a better dinner at home fairly easily for just the price of the crab alone ($86 for 1lb) Service was great though, servers were kind and attentive and did warn us about the Mac n cheese.

My husband was raised in the area over 20 years ago. Him & his family have always talked about their fond memories of The Star & all the delicious food. I visited with him for the first time last year and fell in love with The Star!! We just came back for our yearly visit and it is still a 10/10. The staff is always welcoming… but the food? The steak?!!!! The best I’ve had. The way they are able to get the char on the steak and still keep it at medium rare? The added garlic on top?? Incredible. All the sides are so fun and make it an experience. We love their cabbage soup and the garlic salad so much. I can see why this is a family favorite and overall a cherished place. Can’t wait to visit again next year! 💗

Outstanding! We stopped mid road trip for lunch. Barb took very good care of us. Our sandwiches were delish. Cabbage soup, salad + bread also delish. The couple next to us both ordered the NY Steak sandwich, and they looked amazing. We will definitely return.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jeff Mehl · Feb 2026

We went only to the restaurant for a business dinner. Did not stay at the hotel. The service was excellent as was the atmosphere. The portions were large. All the sides were delicious. We ordered steaks, and honestly they really lacked flavor. That was the only disappointment of the evening, the main course.
