" I came into Starlight last weekend for a quick brunch. After being seated, I let the server know I wanted eggs Benny but also wanted them with avocado instead of ham. She was super lovely and accommodating! The meal tasted great, though I found the hollandaise a bit on the thicker side. The coffee was fresh, and the environment felt cozy. I loved the quick service yet warm atmosphere. Will definitely return to try more from their extensive menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I have been going to Starlight Diner for years, and it never disappoints! The meatloaf is still my favorite dish—it’s always moist with a flavorful glaze that keeps me coming back for more. The service is friendly and makes you feel right at home. Prices are great for families, and the portion sizes are generous. I can’t recommend this place enough if you’re looking for a reliable diner experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Starlight Diner was recommended to me for its delicious breakfasts, and I was not let down. The breakfast sandwich I tried was very satisfying, thick with eggs and a nice crispy exterior. In the end, it felt like a comfort food meal. The staff members were so friendly, making the experience all the better. It feels good to find a diner like this that emphasizes homey cooking. I’ll be high on this diner on my list in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Starlight Diner given its reputation. I started with the French onion soup which was decent, but the main course, a burger, really disappointed me. It was overcooked and dry, and the toppings didn’t make it flavorful. I’ve had better at many other diners. The waitress was accommodating but perhaps it was a busy night, as my food took a while to arrive. I may return, but I’m not rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an incredible dinner at Starlight Diner last week! The fried seafood platter was absolutely to die for and loaded with shrimp and clams. My family and I shared several dishes and everything was seasoned perfectly! The server was attentive and managed our orders with ease, despite the busyness of the night. The atmosphere was bustling with a friendly vibe. Definitely planning a return trip soon. This diner is the real deal! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family has been going to Starlight Diner for birthday dinners for years! We love celebrating here—it’s got a beautiful atmosphere and feels festive yet cozy. I usually order the Filet Mignon and it's cooked to perfection every time. The staff provides attentive service without being overbearing. Always a delight! If you’re ever in Hanover, this is a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had hoped the Starlight Diner would be a regular stop for me, but I was left disappointed last time. The avocado toast was rather bland and overpriced for what it was. The server was nice but told me they were new and still learning the menu. It would have been good to have a more seasoned server assist. I may give them a second chance, but it’s low on my list right now. " (*Curated Review*)
