Luck E Star Diner — Restaurant in Town of Warrensburg

Intro - This was the first place I have been asked to visit and write a review for. So I feel the need to say: I was not paid for this and I paid for my meal in full.

Onward: The atmosphere: This place has your expected diner/cafe feel but does it exceedingly well. Everything was clean and had the perfect level of lighting (I have been to places that are far too dark). I was greeted as soon as I entered and seated. The colors in the dining room were bright, not worn out like I have come to expect from smaller restaurants and the chairs were comfortable. Overall 5/5 for the atmosphere.

The Food: First, the coffee was good. This wasn't your watered down generic coffee. It had flavor and did not taste old (even with me dining in the afternoon). I ordered two plates of food, expecting to take half of each home. First "The garbage pile" is a breakfast item. It had biscuits, gravy, bacon, scrambled eggs, and home fries. This is the first place that has come even remotely close to having a southern gravy this far north! IT was delicious. The eggs were cooked well, bacon had a slight crunch and was not overly salty, gravy had a great balance and chunks of sausage in it. Overall that dish gets 5/5

Second dish was a Rodeo burger. I ordered it Medium. IT came out and it was actually medium!! This is something I have grown to expect to come out wrong, but not here. The BBQ sauce used wasn't overly sweet and the onion rings on the burger had a crunch to them. Very delicious! This also gets a 5/5

Now onto the most important part. The Service:

My waitress was kind caring and attentive. She greeted and sat me as soon as I came in. Took care of my every need and made sure I never had to ask for her attention. She was perfect.

Finally: The special request.

Every restaurant I go to I make a special request that is not on the menu but is reasonable. Here I asked for an additional cup of gravy. This was taken care of quickly and came out hot! No hesitation on my waitresses part whatsoever.

This is a great place to stop for a quick bite to eat or someplace casual to go with your friends/family. The food is delicious and the people are friendly. If you are coming to warrensburg NY you need to stop here! IT's worth...

Well, for everything there is a season. The season has turned for this place. Warrensburg isnt the epircurean dreamworld or service Nirvana, but... would it KILL YA to be polite, even minimally attentive, or dare I say COURTEOUS to patrons?? Ordered ahead to pickup my lunch and it was waiting in the service window before I arrived. Getting cold, because in years I've never seen them turn on the heat lamps. The price seems to have remained "nearly" steady since I last gave up on them, but the portion of chicken on a sandwich was VERY noticeably smaller. The fries weren't enough to split, as we did the sandwich (which may have been a 4 oz breast @$13)- luckily I ordered fried mushrooms (which are my favorite, but now are served in a smaller order by count at the same or higher price). I stood ungreeted for 7 minutes watching the cook chat up a drink vendor and share Facebook moments until even he gave up and (no didn't greet or acknowledge me- he banged on his Mel Bell to call an uninterested waitress to brusquely inquire if I could be helped. I repeated my order and she leered into the window without acknowledging me. Then went to the register and spent another 6 minutes fumbling and somehow interacting with a latecoming coworker- only to follow up with me by asking cash or card. On my reply she didn't even recognize a response. Then presented me a bill with a demand for signature while struggle with inadequate packaging to secure my food in a bag. Food cold, service lousy, and overpriced/under-portioned it shows a struggling busimess with shorter hours and poor service to draw customers. Sorry - the time has passed. Not likely yo give the. A 3rd chance to break faith.

OLD VERSION: Great for carry-out orders, and I would assume dine in as well - once COVID is under control! They have a great selection of offerings on their menu, and all is prepared to order as expected for a diner/cafe. Fried Mushrooms are a favorite in our house and the fix is IN! They've got 'em!! We'll be frequenting this...

This was my childhood restaurant, me and my family always used to come here! I really did not enjoy my visit this time :(. I took my girlfriend and myself and we both got dinner, the waitress was very nice, she did the best she could do. We both ordered the Turkey dinner and it was sub par at best. The Turkey was cold, the greens beans were clearly frozen and reheated, the cranberry sauce was canned, the mash potatoes were also cold. The issue was the gravy was hot and the actual Turkey and potatoes were cold, not a good mixture. The worst part was the staff, the “manager” for the servers was rude, loud, and liked to use foul language, very unprofessional. When we were eating she was yelling the song “Roar”, after that you could blatantly hear her swearing to other staff. After we told the server about the meals, she came to the table and just stood there, trying to intimidate or something. She said “ is there a problem?”, remember we already explained to the other server what was wrong. We told her again and she didn’t say anything but “Ugg”. I have been working in a restaurant for 4-5 years now, this experience was extremely unprofessional, not to mention we were the only 2 people in the entire restaurant. It’s sad to see this happening but in the end we didn’t have to pay the two dinner(we barely even touched it), my family has had recent interactions like this and unfortunately the...
