Experience Through Their Eyes

I was told that the Four Star Dinner in Cortland, Ohio had some great burgers. So I stopped in the other day to see for myself. Parking wasn't an issue, they had street parking, a back lot & side lot. I was greeted to a cozy dining area with a very inviting atmosphere. My seating options were counter, table or booth, I always go for the table. My server was polite & friendly. She helped me with making my dinner selection. I looked over the menu, a great selection of comfort foods. A nice selection of breakfast, lunch & dinner entrees along with burgers and sandwiches. My burger was served up quick, nice and hot. I must say, the burger was absolutely delicious, I really enjoyed it. I had a very nice & enjoyable dining experience here. I strongly recommend that you give this place a try.

1st visit to The 4 Star Diner. I'm giving them 5 stars on food, service, atmosphere, and cleanliness. I had turkey dinner and hubby had liver and onions (don't knock it until you try it). The atmosphere reminds me of an upscale 50's restaurant. Love the lights, the wallpaper and the music they play. You've got to visit them.

I only gave 4 stars on food because I like my eggs fried hard ... they almost had them hard ... the yoke was still moist but not runny so I was able to eat it ! Portions are big for my appetite. Every waitress ive had is attentive and polite. I really like the new updates. Its very pretty .

New to the area. Have driven by Four Star Diner. Always talk about stopping but the exterior is kind of grungy, parking a bit odd so we didn't stop until this morning. Once you get inside, you find a sparkling clean Mom and Pop Diner. A friendly staff ( Heather was great) and immediate seating. I took her recommendation of Apple and Cream Cheese French Toast. My partner chose an Irish Omelet. The food arrived quickly and it was fabulous. Great huge slices of apple, light fluffy French Toast, whipped cream AND cream cheese...it was fabulous. The Omelet was equally good but the potatoes garnered special praise. It was a great meal. The only criticism was the coffee was on the weak side. We won't hesitate to go back. And they do take away. And the Friday Fish Fry sounded great. UPDATE 12/24/23: Another great meal. Love this place and the staff. UPDATE 2/12/26: Wednesday usually stop in for Sunday breakfast but on this case stopped for dinner. Since the failed Gordon Ramsey intervention things have been weird. They kept some of the decor changes but dumped others. Dumped the new menu but kept price increases. And bills now feature a "supplementary charge". The staff are still friendly but they recognize us and treat us specially. That said, it has changed here. With the prices and supplemental charges, 4 Star is not what it was.

That's a FANTASTIC place. Been here last night, 45 min to close, they all stayed and made sure we got food fast and told us not to rush or anything. Waited 5 to 7 min for our food, and OH MY, you should try their fries! I think they bread them. The best fries I had - VERY crispy, mushy inside, perfect seasoning. The interior immediately made me go wow - that's not what you usually see in diners, they should call it a 5 star diner, so many live plants inside and you can see whoever invested in this put a thought into it and a personal touch. I just enjoyed our dinner there, thanks to the staff, they were so kind. Had steak, ordered medium rare and they delivered a perfect medium rare. Thank you again and we will visit again!
