We had our Christmas party tonight in the separate area "the front". We were able to choose from different menus as a group, and it was a buffet style with a bar in the same room. We had cabbage rolls, which were delicious. Roasted potatoes, amazing, salad, carrots (best I've ever had), pierogies and chicken . All but the pierogies were gf, and all were amazing. My son had multiple trips to get more chicken, which he never usually eats. The staff was courteous and let us enjoy our evening together. I would mention that the place is dated, but it looks like they are making strides in updating it. Also, the parking is a little confusing to get to, if not from Welland

Went back after a bad experience 6 years ago. Food was great, but our waitress ( larger woman, curly hair, glasses) was cold and rude! She didn't once come by to check on us. Both my wife's coffee and my refillable fountain pop were empty half way through our meal. We still had to flag her down to get a refill on the coffee, and she still came back to serve other tables multiple times before providing a refill. I didn't bother with my fountain pop as i was done eating and it was pointless. Even though i paid more to have the option of refills. I gave you another chance and you blew it! I don't intend on being back again. Also a note. When cashing out do NOT ask the customer how much they want to tip, that should be a private decision made at the table or on the debit machine. A very poor business decision. Maybe you should spend more time watching your rude waitress, than extorting tips for awful service.

We had the turkey dinner with all the favorites, including pie for dessert. More food than we needed, but it was great. I wouldn't mind a different choice for my veggies. Staff are always friendly and helpful.

Amazing food, great service, friendly atmosphere, great prices. I've never been disappointed after choosing to eat here. I mostly get takeout but tons of inside seating as well. The big bear burger and double blue mac are my favourites, huge burgers that are very filling

Been meaning to go forever. Finally made it and it was as good as everyone told us. Food was delish and good prices. Gentleman at cash brought us a couple of cabbage rolls on our way out as I I told him when we paid the bill that we were very impressed and we would be back. Very thoughtful gesture 🎄 it's been around forever for good reason 🔪🍳🔪

Blue Star Restaurant impressed me with their blueberry pancake and chicken sandwich. The pancake was fluffy, sweet, and packed with fresh blueberries, while the chicken sandwich featured tender, well-seasoned meat and fresh ingredients. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. Highly recommended for comfort food lovers!

I recently visited Blue Star for the first time and was extremely disappointed with the overall experience. Cleanliness: When I arrived, the table was dirty and had garbage still on it. This immediately gave a bad impression of the restaurant's hygiene standards. I ordered a Diet Coke, and it came only halfway filled. Food Quality and Portions: I ordered a corned beef sandwich, which only had a few slices of meat on it. The portion was incredibly small, and there were barely any fries on the plate. They also forgot to give me gravy with my meal. When they finally brought more fries, the gravy was watery and had spilled all over the side of the container. Turkey Poutine : I also ordered a turkey poutine to go. Initially, they told me they were out of cheese curds and offered cheddar cheese instead. I declined, but then they came back saying they had found cheese curds after all. When the turkey poutine was brought to me wrapped up to go, I opened it to find there was no cheese on it at all. When they saw me looking at it, they took it and said they had mistakenly put cheddar cheese on it. I told them there was no cheese on it at all. They then asked if I still wanted it, and I declined...again. I felt they were hoping I wouldn't notice my order was incorrect, but regardless, it should have been checked before being served to me. Overall Value: To top it all off, the meal came to $20.00, which was absolutely not worth it given the poor service and food quality. Overall, I haven't left a restaurant without paying a tip in over ten years, but I feel that every aspect of my experience, from service to the kitchen, was not satisfactory. I left feeling extremely unsatisfied and disappointed. Blue Star needs to seriously improve its service and food quality.

Always a guaranteed good meal. From when you walk in and a warm greeting from John to the incredible wait staff. And then the food is always Good and and with a good portion. John is always there to give you a good laugh on the way out . Vegetarian options: They always accommodate my vegetarian lifestyle just have to ask. And there are a number of choices

Horrible horrible place so dirty! and the worst part is the jerk manager ..so I went in with a man I guess is a lousy tipper Im told by staff and manager during my visit .. so they threw our food at us so hard and the plates bounced off the table and caught air !!!! so I went to complain and I was Immediately screamed at in my face by a large man with disgusting manners ..so he screamed in my face that were lousy tippers !!? so we can just leave and dont come back ..and I left half the tip the previous time it was a couple bucks over the 20 % mind you ..so yeah theyll let you know if your tip isnt sufficient by their standards you will be insulted berated and told to leave after paying good money for slop . also I was 9 mos pregnant and being screamed at was extremely upsetting I wouldent come here again if you paid me ..horrible experience

Disappointed with how they made my partners pancake considering we paid a dollar extra for getting a breakfast item past noon. The pancake was undercooked. It shouldnt have gone out of the kitchen just by looking at it -- whitest pancake weve ever seen served it was also wet and doughy inside indicating that the batter was not cooked well. Their home fries was the highlight as it was crispy on the outside and soft inside (tho we suspect it was a store bought and not made/cut at the restaurant as the cut was very uniformed like those youd buy at the grocery in the frozen section). Ordered eggs Benedict as well, which was nothing special. Poached egg on a peameal bacon doused with hollandaise sauce. The sauce was thick and whether or not it was made from scratch is debatable (not that it was ever claimed on their menu anyway). Overall, it was ok. Id give it 2.8 if I could just based on the undercooked pancake. Service was good. Only peeve was that we were asked multiple times how things were within 5 minutes. For example, we were asked how the food was 2 minutes after serving them and perhaps the server didnt take a second to really look to notice that we havent had the chance to taste any of it. Then the same server came back at least 3 more times to ask the same question and all within 5 minutes. Typical bar atmosphere with jerseys hung on the wall and oddly enough a life size statue or wax figurine of Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark and Iron Man. Family and big groups friendly as they have booths than can accomodate up to 4 people or 6 with kids and they are more than willing to put tables together to accomodate big groups (we saw many family gatherings at the time we went as it was during Mothers Day weekend). Personally, it was alright for what it was that day. Im pregnant and I was craving for breakfast items while driving through Welland. Considering many breakfast places in Welland closes early (2pm the latest), this was the only choice really.

Came to eat breakfast here because of the great reviews. Location isnt the best but sometimes the best restaurants are were you least expect them to be. I came in expecting good food. Unfortunately my experience wasnt as great as some of the other reviewers. I ordered a bushmeal and it took us about 30-40mins to get our food. The pancakes were fluffy and light but a bit too oily. The home fries and bacon were quite good. I liked the seasoning on the home fries and they were cooked perfectly. Where the meal really fell short were the eggs. I got sunny side up eggs and the eggs, including the white, were incredibly runny. In fact they were barely held together like the egg was cracked right on my plate. I asked for another plate of eggs, this time over easy, and they were more cooked than the first plate but not cooked as much as they should be and were way too white and still had a bit of run off. Unfortunately even with salt and pepper, the taste was not right. I couldnt finish my toast either as it didnt taste like bread. It tasted like it had chemicals on it so Im not sure what happened there. However, the staff were friendly and did check in a few times during our meal to see how the food was. I truly wish I had a different experience like the other reviewers as Im sure this must have been a rare occurrence.

I am sure I have been there before. My experience on May 12 was not a good one. I ordered the chicken parmigiana special, there was nothing special about it! It was a piece of chicken breast deep fried with a slice of mozzarella cheese, covered in store bought canned or jarred sauce! On a pile of cold over cooked penne pasta. I was not impressed and would think twice about going there. It could possibly be they cant cook certain dishes? If you cant make good Italian sauce take it off your menu, as well as freshly cooked pasta! That pasta was sitting there cooked and cold until an order came in.

We go there often as the food and service is usually always great. Today I was very disappointed. It took over 30 minutes to get our breakfast as others who came in 20mins had already got food. Once our food came, potatoes were cold, eggs were over hard (I ordered over easy) and my toast was cold that even the butter didnt melt. Not a good experience today

Friends took us out for brunch on December 23, 2023 at the Blue Star. They raved about the place so my wife and I were eager to try it out. As soon as I walked in I loved the atmosphere of the place. We were seated in a booth which was comfortable, while my wife and I took in the relaxed ambience of the restaurant. We liked it! Then our server came along apologizing for the wait, which wasnt long at all. She was a tall woman with short dark hair. She had a brusque manner about her, almost to the point of ungracious harshness. She had a disagreeable nature which she tried to cover up with bad humour. She came across as irritable perhaps even surly. I got the impression that she wasnt happy in her work. I ordered the fish and chips which were wonderful. Everyone else at our table enjoyed their meals. We will return to the Blue Star in the future but we will avoid her section if possible.

We got there shortly after 1pm. There were some big parties. A waitress sat us at a booth and someone said theyd see if a waiter was going to take us and if not she would. We sat maybe 15 mins. I was just going to get up and leave and they came and asked what we wanted to drink. We knew what we wanted to eat so we ordered that too. The girl who was supposed to be our waitress said someone would be with us shortly. I said someone has. We got our drinks and our food shortly after. No one came around to ask if we needed more coffee/drinks or food was ok. My home fries were Luke warm. Not even hot. Not surprisingly as how fast they came out. Lady apologized a few times.

Really gone down hill especially when they have posted pictures of Justin Trudeau attending this place, Justin Trudeau is a liar and hes ruining this country. Back to the food, you are served half of what you use to receive, I had the reuben sandwich and French onion soup, the sandwich was really tiny very thin, and the soup lacked really any onions, also asking for crackers I was told outright NO, and the waitress walked away. We waited until halfway through our dinner to get any drinks at all not even water, the waitress said she was busy, but we could see her texting on her phone. Sorry no tip, and we will never return to the Blue Star Restaurant. Two Thumbs Down

They have a dish station in the middle of the booths We sat in a booth next to it. We couldn t hear anything over the staff clearing dishes. It was soooo load I couldn t get out of there fast enough. It today destroyed our dining experience , it literally sounded like they were smashing the dishes on purpose

Such a comfortable place. Excellent service great food good prices. Great family experience Kid-friendliness: We went with 5 kids who were still rowdy from the indoor play place. The staff was good with them and friendly. The kids were given coloring pages and crayons. The food was brought quickly. It was a great experience

Great place to grab delivery or dine in. Good old fashioned food like your mom made. From cabbage rolls, roast turkey and chicken dinners, burgers, or clubhouses, they got it. And dont forget the pies Good family style deals on take out for larger families/events/ parties. Including Broasted chicken and salad trays. Roast beef or turkey, pierogies, pies ,butter tarts, and tons of other options. Staff is super helpful and friendly and they deliver to places outside Welland (port colbourne, Wainfleet, Townline tunnel road, fonthill,crystal beach and more for a small delivery fee using RC delivery .)

Food was great. Took my Mother for her birthday and Father for Fathers Day. They both happened to be on the same day this year. After waiting for 35 minutes our food came out, we asked for parmesan cheese and I asked for the cranberry sauce that was supposed to come with my turkey dinner. After waiting for 10 more minutes and my meal almost finished our server finally came back to ask how everything was tasting, clearly forgetting the cheese and cranberry sauce, she noticed my mothers steak was cooked medium and not well like she asked for, so she took it to be replaced, I had to ask again for the cheese and cranberry sauce. Id like to mention it was not busy at this time. When she came out with my mothers meal again and the other 4 meals have now been eat, I politely said to her I will not be paying for the steak dinner, she said she would need to confirm with her manager. The meal was taken off the bill, as it should have been without say, in my opinion the whole bill should have been no change. I also would have expected the manager to come to our table to apologize for the mix up, but no she just gave me a dirty look when I only tipped $5, which I regret doing. Good food but very poor service.

Ate too fast to take pictures. Ordered takeout. Food was ready as promised. Friendly staff. 2 different burgers and 1 order of onion rings were plentiful for 2 people. Meat patties were good size and flavourful, as were the toppings. And the coconut creal pie slice didn t disappoint. I apologize to the server as I made a mistake on the tip. Not intentional. Just bad math.

Not many vegetarian options and nothing on the lunch menu. Waitress got my order wrong and then just said that they didn t hear that part and that they also offer this other item. My food was also the last to come out after everyone else s even though I ordered before others at the table. I was very hungry after being there an hour, but maybe 45 mins or so after order, and I left hungry partially because of the mixup. Also didn t ask if I needed milk with my tea, and I had to grab some from someone else in our group who was asked. Other people in our group said their food was just ok as well. I wouldn t have chosen this restaurant and I haven t gone here in years. Only came because my aunt booked it for us as a family gathering.

New to the area, so this was my first time here. When I pulled up I thought it was closed and called to inquire (the entrance is around the back). The gentleman who answered the phone was so kind. The server was amazing. The food was delicious and huge portions. And upon leaving, the man I spoke to on the phone gave me some takeaway and a catering menu (which we order for sure). This will definitely be a regular stop. Thank you for such a positive experience.

Very disappointed. Came here for a birthday breakfast. Steak was over cooked, eggs undercooked. Some waiter took my spoon for my coffee, then told me to use a fork. What a waste of money and my time, only thing that they seemed to get right was the toast. Will not be coming back here again. If I could I would give 0 stars.

This place has been around since before I was born. Family owned and operated since opening. Portions have been downsized a bit and is presented in a bit more of a fancy way then they used to but the food hasnt changed and you still are full after a meal. Generally, a great place to get a nice and tasty, not to mention healthy, meal. One of my favorite places to eat!!!

Lots of tasty breakfast options at a good price with attentive, humorous service from Yvonne. It is a bit dark inside the restaurant which is a shame when it is sunny outside. It would have been nice if there was seating available on the side of the restaurant which has windows but I understand that is going to be used as a party or special event area.
