Star 36 Diner — Restaurant in Wathena

Myself and my family have ate there many times, the food was always good to very good. The service has been hit and miss. The big problem I have with this restaurant is when we went to eat there the day before yesterday my daughter ordered Tilspia and myself and my wife and I ordered the hamburger and fries with soap. My daughter's dinner was good and our soup and fries where good also, but here is the big problem the hamburgers where not real meat I guess they where made of what a impossible whopper is made of. We noticed it before we started to eat and my wife said it can't be that bad let's just eat it so we don't have to waste the food and time, big mistake I didn't finish mine but she did and we almost didn't make it home before getting sick and we where sick off on on till the next morning.

This was the third time I've been here and each time I've gone I've had such a shockingly amazing experience, so I figured I'd write a review.

One of our party had an issue with their order, and the waitress handled it incredibly promptly with a wonderful attitude. My only regret about our visit today is that I didn't ask her name so I could mention it in this review. If you're thinking about dining at Star 36 Diner, my only advice to you is that you should have decided to go there sooner! 11/10,...

A surprisingly varied menu for a tiny restaurant. Ample portions of flavorful food. Especially recommend the chicken fried steak. Hamburgers are huge and tasty. Pasta dish I had was a bit bland for my tastes but probably fine for many mid westerners.

If you keep in mind that this is a small country dinner, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised. If you're expecting the service and ambience of Olive Garden, you should probably go there. Quality of service varies considerably among staff but all had pleasant nature.

Very tempting assortment of...
