Starliner Diner

Food was great, service was spectacular, reservation was readily available. They did proper sanitation after every table and overall was a great first time here!

This was our first era of covid visit to Starliner. They have taken every precaution to keep staff and customers safe while still delivering a great meal. We were so excited to be back we over ordered and had to take more home than we were able to eat. Oh darn, we had to extend the joy into the next day.
Can not wait to go back again.

We love this place and frequent it often

Great waitress good food all 5 of us were happy.

We had a great experience at Starliner Diner. The food was outstanding! The chile lime wings are the best wings I've had in a long time. The booths had plexiglass between them, and we didn't feel crowded with the other diners in the building.

The food was tasty and the waitresses were efficient and friendly.

Very efficient social distancing

We're so glad to see the Starliner back in operation! We probably only dine here perhaps once a month, but we've never had anything that wasn't truly delicious, highly recommended.

We had never been here and wanted to try something new for breakfast after not eating out for months due to quarantine. There were lots of high ratings online and we are always looking to support local small businesses so we thought this place would be awesome to try. Unfortunately, all of the food was mediocre and overpriced. We ordered 1 pancake, a scrambled egg, an order of bacon (4 strips), toast, and their breakfast burrito. It cost $20.80. We won’t be going back. Maybe their lunch and dinner items are better?

Their food was great!

The food and service was impeccable! Can't wait to go there again 👍

Always great food and service!**

The food is always delicious. The plantains and white salsa are a MUST at any meal, even breakfast.

Tables were social distanced. Food was delicious. Service was excellent.

Father’s Day brunch

We really enjoyed the food and the whole experience.

Always enjoy dining at Starliner. Now, I only go to restaurants with patio dining. Great time

First time at the downtown location, had been to the old spot many times. As always, excellent and now in very quaint and walkable downtown Hilliard with a nice outdoor terrace.

Their breakfast is awesome. I have bee for lunch and dinner which is fine. I am a breakfast person they never disappoint.

We are never disappointed when we go to Starliner Diner. It’s one of our favorite places to eat.

This was my first visit to Starliner Diner. It was a great experience. We ate outside. Social distancing was practiced. Wait staff was wearing masks. Service was great and the food was delicious. I will be back.

It was my family's first time to Starliner Diner. We enjoyed trying new foods that tasted really good. Since it's during the time of COVID, the atmosphere was positive but subdued. During normal times I can see it being very festive. I will definitely go back.

It was just okay. They were out of what we were going to order, we overheard our server telling another table. The service was in the weeds, so slow and nonexistent at times as usual there. (Not his fault, he was a nice young man.)
Food was pretty good! We got to dine on the patio, so that was nice... it was a beautiful evening.

Great service and food as always.

It’s one of my favorite places and we usually bring a large tennis group on Saturday mornings and have Ron making us delicious margaritas. It’s always good food, great service and a fun atmosphere.

A must go to destination. The kitchen staff prepared food items not listed on the menu because friends in my party were celebrating birthday. Service and food is amazing every visit. What a great way to spend the day!

I am sorry to have to give a review like this, especially because at least a couple of the employees seemed to have some degree of general intelligence and understanding of how a restaurant should be run.

Our server was outwardly somewhat nice, but seriously struggled with the basics of her job like bringing out the food when it was hot and ready and willingly serving a Pacifico without a rotten dried out lime in it.

The food was just as uninspired as our server. In fact, it was pretty bad. I had some kind of pork dish with salsa verde on it. It looked disgusting but remarkably tasted like nothing. My son had a fish sandwich with some type of green mayonnaise that they seemed to be proud of. The sandwich was brought out cold, appeared to be some type of oversized fish stick, and the mayonnaise was terrible!

At one point during the meal, our server asked us how everything was. In truth, it was quite awful. I pretended that it was fine and so did my son, but I could tell that all three of us were doing the typical Ohio thing—marching into battle and unquestionably following orders. She was pretending to care and we were pretending to be satisfied.

I am honestly getting tired of pretending to be satisfied. This was in no way an even adequate dining experience, but I put up with it in order to not feel guilty about hurting the feelings of people who obviously didn’t care.

If sub-mediocre food and even less inspiring service are something you’re willing to put up with, go ahead and give up five hours worth of work and two hours of free time to eat here.

I predict Starliner Diner cannot survive another year unless the restaurant is being used to launder money.

Starliner Diner has great food and wonderful service. One of our favorite restaurants!

First day of back to dine in. Great experience!

Great food. Get the plantains. Wonderful texture, tasete and sauce! Loved the chicken pot pie with corn bread topping. Amazing!

Have dined here several times recently. Had occasion to dine with 7 friends on this trip. Several experienced eating here for the first time. Everyone was in agreement that their food was very good. The decor was fun. And our server was totally amazing! We will all be back again to dine in this extraordinary diner!

May have been an off night at one of our local favorites, but jalapeño soup was cold and food did not arrive well coordinated. Black bean nachos sat at counter for 10 minutes before being served. Server was polite, but not on par with our usual experience. Will certainly try again. I’m hopeful the quality and great flavor returns.

Very friendly staff, cool ambience and great food!

This is the first time we’ve been to their new location. It is every bit as wonderful as their last.

Staff was very pleasant and courteous. The Valentine's day special was a perfect meal and deal for us as our first time here.

Noise was too loud. There was a vent that cycled between too cold and no air at all. The women’s bathroom was like a sauna. The food was delicious however.

Unique delicious food. Yummy plantains with a delicious creamy salsa sauce

It was mostly good; the veggie selections are ok. But we go for a change in scene and casual atmosphere.

Food is excellent with a wide variety on the menu. Good service and yummy flan with expressive sauce for dessert. Easy access from Avery Road and Main Street Hilliard.

Who doesn't love the Starliner? Casual, local, and great food. If you don't know what to order, look at the handwritten daily specials or ask your server. You can't go wrong. Thank you for a fun night out, as always.
