Editorial Review for Trudy's North Star Restaurant & Bar – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Trudy's has been serving up their award-winning migas, salsa and margaritas at this north location since 1988. A large Tex-Mex and Southern menu satisfies veggie lovers and carnivores, including spinach quesadillas and sizzling beef, chicken and portobello fajitas. Tables are packed under beamed ceilings to maximize the small space, so many get there early to save seats on the patio, where hip students and professionals linger over appetizers and drinks.

The breakfast buffet at the North Star is freakin sweet. I love going to the North Star on the weekends. I also like how the North Star smells like 'gerts in the morning. I like the food during the day, but it is the breakfast buffet that makes it. Everything is good at the North Star breakfast buffet.

Stunningly rude and unprofessional service from a bartender leading to NO TIP (and I always tip 20%) Sarcastic, obnoxious, patronizing, rude - those are just some adjectives that come to mind when describing this guy who works on SUNDAY NIGHTS. Trudy's needs to seriously change some of its policies. One, stop calling homeland security anytime someone from out of state wants a drink. Is it really necessary to have three managers spend ten minutes verifying a driver's license. Second, stop insulting your clientele by having your little college student bartenders treat their professional adult working customers like little children. I do NOT care to have some sarcastic kid tell me that he "thinks I've had enough." Newsflash Trudy's, you have a mature customer base that can handle their drinks and don't need the condescending treatment dished about by Mr. Sunday Night Bartender Guy. Perhaps if your staff would treat people like adults and stop acting like they feel like they have to nanny their customers they won't lose their tips from irate customers who do not go out to be told my some college student that "you've been here awhile" and then sarcastically stating "Yeah sure, that's a great story" when said customers basically tell you to lighten up and DO YOUR JOB. Horrendous business practices that need to be addressed because I know I am not the only ranting lunatic who has experienced this atrocious practice at the hands of the Trudy's staff. Just serve my drink, kid. If I need a mommy I'll call my own. Avoid avoid avoid.
Cons: The Sunday bartender and his raging attitude.
