Star's Restaurant, Cotati

Looking for a place your whole family can find something yummy on the menu, is kid-friendly, has good sized portions, has delicious and well-cooked homestyle food and won't break the bank? This is it! It's like a Denny's with better food and service, and minus the 'corporate' feel. We happened upon this place for a late breakfast for six hungry campers after a weekend camping trip. Nice place, nothing terribly fancy, but comfortable and a bit retro. The staff was very friendly, but not hovering. Our waitress always showed up exactly on time to refill our coffee cups and boy, we must have kept her busy! The food came to us very quickly too. Three of us ordered omelets. They all were perfectly prepared with a generous amounts of delicious fillings and big mounds of crispy hashbrowns... even the toast was perfectly toasted! The kid's menu was great. My six-year-old got the hamburger. It was cooked to order and huge! It came with all the fixings and very tasty fries. (I wish we lived closer because I'll bet the grown-up burgers are excellent too) Our nine-year-old got the kid's pancake and bacon - also delicious and in the shape of a face and ears - very cute. The baby nibbled a bit of everyone's meal and cooed and smiled at the staff and the friendly customers. We left there with full stomaches, heavy wallets and light hearts. This is the place we plan to stop at whenever we're passing through. I sure wish it were closer
