Somali Star Restaurant

"I wanted to like it but everything about the whole experience was very unpleasant. I have no idea how this place is rated so high and that they can even stay open. FYI just because it smells like straight up pinesol does not make it clean. The hygienic standards are very subpar. Do NOT use the restroom!"

"The food was delicious. The staff was friendly. The atmosphere was lively. Stopped here while driving through town. Made for a great lunch."

"We were very excited to try this place as it has good reviews on google. We went into the restaurant on a Friday evening and every table was dirty. The only employee was on his phone, which disappointed me because there was no other customers and he still didn't do the bare minimum to bus tables. I asked for a menu and was given a dirty menu with six loose pages inside of it. Most of them were doubles and all of them were cheap inkjet printouts you could barely read due to water stains. We ordered 3 entrees to share. The employee brought out an appetizer we didn't order, but he kept talking about how good it was and asking us if we enjoyed it. I thought he was being kind since we were the only customers in the restaurant, but he ended up charging us for it. The food was good, but all the meats were very dry. We had to ask for plates and silverware twice and he did not bring out enough for the table until we asked him again for more. When our check came we were shocked at how much we were charged since it was easily 20-25 dollars more than the menu prices. He told us those prices were wrong and he also charged us for the appetizer we didn't order. He then disappeared for 10-15 minutes and the other employee could not ring us up and asked us to wait. When he finally came back we said the bill was way higher than we expected. He eventually knocked ten dollars off, but it was still far greater than the menu prices reflected. We did enjoy the food, but left with bad tastes in our mouths from the experience as a whole."

"Good food, good prices, fast service. The menu has a few vegetarian options that were pretty good! The service was fast and courteous. The waiter gave me a good explanation of the menu and helped me pick the right lunch. It was an overall good experience and the food tastes great!"
