The Stella's Diner located near Destiny Mall has a very good reputation. We went there some years ago, but the line outside the door was so long we decided not to wait. So, we were happy to discover that they opened a second location near where we shop at Fairmount Fair. My wife and I both ordered the Stella breakfast sandwich which comes on Texas toast. I ordered mine with American cheese and sausage and my wife requested provolone and bacon. To begin on a positive note, the fried, over-medium eggs were cooked perfectly, and there were 2 per sandwich. However, the rest was not so good. The Texas toast was barely toasted on the outside and not toasted on the inside. The result was thick but fragile, doughy bread that had to be handled carefully to avoid it falling apart while attempting to eat the sandwich. After several bites of tasting only the bread, we decided to discard one of the slices and eat the rest open-faced. The next problem was the sausage. It was hard as a hockey puck and had a strange taste. The bacon was cold and limp. However, the taste was pretty good so we ate that and discarded the sausage. Finally the provolone was good but the American cheese had little flavor. The service was excellent. The server noticed that we were dissembling our sandwiches and offered to bring toasted English muffins to replace the bread if we wished. We declined, but appreciated the offer. Based on our experience, we recommend that the breakfast sandwich be ordered on a toasted English muffin with egg, crispy bacon, and provolone cheese. My thought is, if you request "crispy" bacon, maybe they'll put it back on the grill to reheat before they put it on your sandwich.

Great atmosphere and good food. My wife, myself, and a friend had breakfast there. What a fun casual vibe. The place was really busy which is no surprise as it was Sunday morning. We had a 20 minute wait. There is a waiting area inside the restaurant as well as in a foyer near the front door. You put your name in the book when you come in and they call you when a table is free. Lots of staff and they were really friendly. It looked clean but there were some things that needed a dusting such as the stretcher bars under the chairs etc but overall it was clean. It has a classic diner feel. The food was good and came out fast. Prices are reasonable.

Great burgers! I thoroughly enjoyed my whole meal and was very surprised by the quality, 4 year old was happy with their pancakes. Husband said the steak was unseasoned. Admittedly the mushrooms in my burger were also unseasoned. Aside from steak and mushrooms they did great, staff were friendly and very sweet with our baby! Mentioned it was my husband's birthday, they had the whole staff sing which was wonderful, however they only brought out a small bowl of whipped cream with a candle in it? A bit disappointed he didn't get a little cupcake or something.

We have always enjoyed Stella's, but our last visit was not good. The waiter said he'd be back in a minute. Ten minutes later, after a waitress said something, he came over and took our order. We both ordered bacon well-done and homefries well done. See pictures. Limpest bacon I've ever been served, and the potatoes were not browned. When we mentioned this to the waiter, he just said, "I didn't cook it." A waiter should notice what is plated and return it if not what was ordered. It is not likely we will return to that Stella's.
