Rating Stars Cafe was tough.Visiting Star Cafe (fka Star Seeds Cafe) was like traveling back in time.During undergrad, I came here a few times for late night eats (24 hr diner).This breakfast trip was a reminder that you don’t come for standout food, but passable food with great ambience and (depending on the staff) good music on the house speakers.That said, the food was on the cheaper side which was nice.There was one waitress who also worked the cash register this morning.She was very sweet and accommodating.I believe there was just one person in the kitchen.First opened in 1966, it’s at risk of getting displaced by I-35 expansion plans.
Came because photos made it look cute.The vibe is trying to be like an old school diner just a bit messy .There was only one sever but she was pretty good and attentive.What was disappointed and frustrating was how many key food items they didn't have every order I heard the server take she always say they didn't have certain items .With me she mentioned not having pecans and blueberries for the pancakes.i also order A bagel sandwich only to have it arrived with a different bread when I honesty only order it for the bagel .She then later informed they didn't have any . Who ever is in charge of ordering food items get it together or come up with a manu you can actually manage
Great experience...open 24 hours day..a hidden treasure in the down town Austin...the longest 24hr restaurant in Austin...it survived the pandemic, but barely..parking is a bit tricky but don't let that deter you. Keep this landmark open...food was classic diner with breakfast served 24hrs a day and happy hour drinks we're awesome. There is a propane smell when you walk in but the food makes up for it. I love the Electric green glitter booths.ADA wheelchair accessible. No patio for the fur baby. I would most definitely come back here after a concert again.
