Good Food/Good Prices

by pixie29 at Citysearch

So this is a great restaurant. Kinda like a large diner actually. They have good breakfasts and large portions for decent prices. I can see why a lot of college kids flock here.

The coffee is nasty and burnt and was 2/75, so I could have gone to Starbucks for cheaper but the food was good, except for the biscuits. Don't be fooled! They look great and are nice and big but are dry and nasty. My husband pretty much eats anything, especially if you can put butter and jelly on it and he even passed it up after 1 bite!

Go here though, great laid back spot, esp if you are on a budget.

Breakfast was great!

by cruggier at Citysearch

I just tried this place for brunch last weekend. I was amazed at the selection of options. Everything on the menu sounded amazing! I chose one of the scrambles and I was not let down. The prices were pretty decent and the service was too. I'd come back!

• Pros: selection, options
• Cons: n/a

Great Breakfast!

by Steph98033 at Citysearch

Blue Star Cafe has an awesome breakfast menu for pretty much anything you're in the mood for. The omelettes and scrambles are awesome and you can choose a yummy scone instead of toast. I also love the chilaquiles and breakfast burrito. The wait can be a little long mid-morning on the weekends so we try and get there early to beat the crowds. We always stop at Archie McPhee's next door afterwards to look at all their bizarre merchandise...everything from yodeling pickles to bacon-flavored bubble gum!

• Pros: Great variety of breakfast choices!
• Cons: Busy on the weekends

Amazing food and the service just keeps getting better!

The Blue Star is a great mix of homey and urban. We have a full bar, amazing food and we are always working to improve our staff and guest experience.

I'm a server t the Blue Star and in the past two years I've seen dramatic improvement in our staff and management.

We appreciate our customers and want them to come back time and time again for the best food and company in Wallingford.

We are hosting an Art pARTy on Friday March 5th and hope to see you there. For details, you can go to my facebook page and RSVP at Art pARTy Seaon Opener.

• Pros: Best Breakfast in town!
• Cons: It can be insanely busy at times

"Owner Message" is full of BS!!

by LesserSeattle at Citysearch

I used to go to the Blue Star when it first opened. The "Owner Message" here says "Blue Star Cafe and Pub has been serving American comfort food for over 30 years. Located in the former Blue Star Brewery on Stone Way."

What a load of crap. The Eggs Cetera's may have been around for 30 years, but the Blue Star opened Dec 1, 1992, and I was there.

It's not in "the former Blue Star Brewery", but what was a tavern for many years. The Blue Star got it's name from Aurora/Highway 99's designation as a Blue Star Highway. It has decent breakfasts, but the service is spotty, as is the food, which actually has been a hallmark of Eggs Cetera.

One thing that's memorable is that when Steve Cohn (who founded the Metropolitan Grill)opened the Blue Star, it was Seattle's first pub that was non-smoking from the very start. I had some excellent evenings, meals, and beers here. Al, Marty, Greg, Kaisa, and the rest of the original staff here should be hired to train the current staff, and whoever wrote the Owner Message should know what they're talking about before publishing misinformation

• Pros: Decent breakfast, nice decor
• Cons: Lousy parking, spotty service
