I believe the few poor reviews for this place must have been given by people who had different items than I ordered. Big Star Drive-In in Stroudsburg may be known for it's sweet treats, but today we decided to have a nice lunch on the picnic benches with some beautiful weather.
We ordered the Butter Burger, the Gyro, and the fried pierogis. First things first, the Pierogis were simply deep fried and served. This is not to say they were bad, but they were just standard so I will choose to spend my time talking about the items that were hit with some love.
The Butter Burger was quite good. Lots of buttery flavor, a quality beef patty, and some perfectly sautéed onions topped in melted cheese. What's not to love? The roll was even better than I would have expected from your typical "drive-in" style spot. I would absolutely order this again without question.
The Gyro was solid as well. The Tzatziki sauce was flavorful and abundant, the pita was lightly toasted but still nice and soft, plenty of meat and toppings. If I had to say one thing negatively, I would have preferred a smaller chop on the tomatoes. This size made it hard to eat efficiently. I wouldn't put this up against some of the Mediterranean style spots in town (there are a couple very good ones) but I was definitely happy with the purchase.
The cost was pretty standard for what we got and we left happy. Big Star Drive-In - Stroudsburg, PA -...

Sorry to say the Butter Burger was a greasy (which I expected), soggy, salty mess. The texture of the burger was okay. The Chili Dog was also surprisingly salty, and the chili most certainly the same hamburger patties chopped up. Tasted meh. Not my thing. I got a Hawaiian ice cream mix-in type of deal which was tasty; however, wasn't a fan of the texture of the vanilla ice cream. In their defense, I prefer Rita's so... Anyway, the best part of my experience at the Big Star was the staff. Super-friendly. Tip them well please. Oh one last note: the root beer was nice and fizzy. Don't know what brand it was, but it was better than Stewart's Root Beer for...
