Editorial Review for Blue Star Cafeteria – by Chip Rankin
In Short
Despite the name, this restaurant is pure table service. Billed as upscale "comfy" food, Blue Star's menu showcases '50s-inspired diner foods with a contemporary twist. Freshly prepared under the direction of Chef Lorie Lawler, staple dishes are given a unique treatment and include honey-glazed pork chops and coconut and cornflake chicken tenders. The bustling restaurant's silver, mocha brown and light blue interior is filled with casually dressed patrons, spanning from toddlers to seniors.

I've eaten at the Blue Star several times, and I have enjoyed every single dish I have ordered. I highly recommend the crispy chicken breast and honey-glazed pork chops. The crunchy cod is also quite amazing. The pie is great, and I love their selection of tea. Not to mention, the decor of this place is contemporary and classical. Many people have commented that they do not like that Blue Star doesn't offer high chairs or children's menus, but I, as a singleton with no children, enjoy that the Blue Star offers more adult-oriented dining. I think, perhaps, it is a good thing that there exists a place with food and atmosphere geared towards adults in the sea of restaurants that come with crayons and paper at your table.

The restaurant name is Blue Star Cafeteria. The Home Depot thing is a major error evidently...the restaurant should be very annoyed.
