Star On 18 — Restaurant in New York

Small diner with great service. We come here to get lunch a few times a year. The portions are generous for the prices.

Meals that come with soup or salad are a good deal. The soup is a generous bowl size and great starter. Meatloaf with mushroom gravy is my favorite. Steamed veggies and fries are my go to sides. The fries taste unsalted and baked. I’ve had the baked potato side as well. I douse on the condiments here. The garlic bread that comes with this is very basic diner style quality. I wouldn’t think it was garlic bread because it really tastes like plain toasted bread. But the meatloaf is my favorite.

The Greek Spinach Pie was delicious with the Greek salad and side of soup.

Then it happened. The cook brought out hot fresh corn muffins from the oven at 2pm. We smelled the corn muffins. We saw it. We got it. We asked for honey and butter to go with it. Otherwise the muffin came with grape jelly and butter. We inhaled the muffin like it was dessert.

$4.50 for an oversized house made corn muffin. The man seated next to us also got a muffin. The waiter had a good handle on his patrons. As if he could predict what we needed, he’d ask us before we needed to ask him. Amazing service.

Edit: I noticed my latest dining bill included a $2.50 charge after items are added up. Then this total is taxed. If you pay with credit card, you are charged an additional tech fee.

Great place to go for groups...

Check my pictures out.Every time I order it's a different price probably stole $50 in fake taxes from me already. There's only certain foods I trust from this place don't get the New York cut shell steak if you ever heard about people gluing steaks together this is one of those places when I was removing my steak from the takeout to my plate it fell into two pieces you can see where they glued it together. Pork chops are Superdry and tasteless I ordered them twice both times Superdry but I give a 5 star for the Apple stuffing very delicious. The burgers taste good if you have the lettuce tomato cheese ketchup and toppings but if you take a bite of just the burger alone it has a weird taste to it my girlfriend said it's probably not real meat she said this is why they don't ask you how you want it cooked I like medium well but they always overcook it which makes me think that it probably isn't real meat. Or maybe a mixture of meat and something else. The milkshakes are a joke half of a cup is filled with foam real ice cream shouldn't be foamy. Chicken cutlets are delicious the salads are always fresh chicken salad was delicious I always ordered a breakfast combo but this will be my last meal from this place I don't...

Update 1/1/25 we stopped in for some coffee and the BEST Rice Pudding in NYC! If you love rice pudding, come here and get it.

10/23/22 back for breakfast. I had Belgian waffle and 2 eggs, perfect.

Update 8/13/17: 5 stars. We ordered fish tacos off the specials menu and had the Tilapia broiled instead of fried (pic). Wow, really good! And better than some of the Mexican places we've eaten at. Certainly would order again... and with beers, since this time was brunch w/coffee.

Update 6/25/17: oatmeal w/nanners again :) GF had Cuban burger delux- very good. Fyi the jalapeños that come with it are REAL! Not the mild ones you get at some places... I love hot peppers, tobasco is mild to me.

Great food... update 5/6/17: had oatmeal with bananas- was good, I'd get it again. GF had Greek omlet again- good. Her rye toast was perfect!

Strayed from our usual 9th Ave spots. My Pancakes and eggs- great! Greek omelet- awesome (GF's words). Coffee was good and friendly staff. We...
