We have not been to the Blue Star since before the pandemic (true for a lot of places we used to go to more regularly). We were braced for the experience we've had with other restaurants as we've resumed eating out--namely, significantly higher menu prices...(in some cases upwards of 50% higher!), smaller portions, etc. We were pleasantly surprised in SO many ways!!!! First, the menu prices were only very slightly higher than they were pre-pandemic. The portions were every bit as generous as we recall them being. The food was terrific, the service superb---a truly outstanding experience!!More

This place used to be a diamond in the roof but the food quantity and quality is slipping as well as the prices really going up. It used to be a great go to Family Restaurant and now it's not one to consider anymore sadly

Take out hot turkey dinner came WITHOUT stuffing or gravy and was 90% brown meat. Called to tell them and Brian said he has to believe his staff who 'saw' dressing' in there and gravy......I asked if he was then suggested I was lying and...he said.....no, it's not that but I have to stick by my staff. I offered to drive back there (15 minutes away) and he said it was no use, he was sticking by his staff and he hung up. All I wanted was gravy and stuffing as per what the menu says it domes with.Poor customer service and obviously staff who are dishonest.More

Good food. I remember when the restaurant was across the street I was very young. My mother worked there when the grandfather owned it. Long time ago. The owners are very nice knew Mr. plentai but the one daughter that managed it was not very...nice.More

I used to swear by this place. The food is still pretty good, but the last few times we have been there it has taken a long time for us to get breakfast.

Got bamboozled in to trying the Blue Star again for take out Nothing has changed. The food is mediocre at the very best Usually very greasy and often cold Again they messed up the order. Ordered no onions and gravy on the side for Philly...Steak Sandwich When I got it home, it was loaded with onions and there was no gravy despite the one owner assuring me there was Called back. The main response I got from the owner (the big guy) was "Oh S#@t" Will never be back.More

Lets start by saying they have good breakfast, true and serve coffee well. For lunch and dinner their service is really atrocious, doesn't seem like they care who walks in and out, they often don't give you any time of day unless you command it....their food is really bad, they serve this thing called a hot beef sandiwch for 11.99$ , its 2 soggy pieces of wonderbread covered in watery gravey and then inbetween is 2 quite large pieces of overcooked soggy beef that is cold unless you eat it within 2 minutes of being served. No fries or anything, but comes with some disgusting peas! stay away from everything but the poutine if you have to eat here, you''ll thank me laterMore

We are unfamiliar with this area but relied on our navigation system to list all the nearby restaurants. Based on the previous reviews we chose the Blue Star Restaurant. The outside appearance is a bit deceiving as the interior was clean and spacious. The meal...was great, and plentiful too with a reasonable price.More

Breakfast here is great...prices include coffee...they offer not just bacon and breakfast sausage but also Polish and Italian sausage. Before we leave we always pick up a half dozen cold cabbage rolls (means they don't charge tax) to go....great balance of pork and rice. We...love 'em!More

We made a reservation for a group of 13 people but with 1 server meant the service was slow and some of the food in particular the soup was not hot and had to be sent back. The food was tasty but was intermittent coming...from the kitchen which meant some were just about finished when others were just starting.More

went for breakfast for the first time with hubby...it was a bit of a wait...but understandable...lots of food...cooked perfectly...coffee great and could not believe how reasonable it cost for the two of us. Oh! we also took home one of their freshly prepared coconut cream...pies. I have NEVER tasted one better....soooooooo good! It's worth a trip to Welland just for the pie. I shouldn't forget the welcoming, friendly servers...thank you Blue Star..we'll be back!More
