Starlite Coney Island

I went to Starlite for breakfast with a good friend. When she suggested it, I have to admit, I was concerned. It looks a little dated from the outside, heck the inside too but I was very surprised by how good the food was for breakfast!
Prices were very reasonable. I got the «big breakfast» for $ 6.99 and at Bob Evans that would have cost me around $ 10.99. My friend ordered the steak and eggs and said it was delicious… getting a steak well done sometimes causes it to be dry but not here!
The waitstaff was overall good. There was a few minutes I was looking for my waitress but another waitress stepped up and helped me since she seen me looking for assistance.
The parking lot was PACKED! There were no seats available, we had to hurry over to a table as soon as someone got up. I guess everyone else knew about this gem before I did!

Not the best coney place in Flint. Noisy and not the friendliest waitstaff around. I perfer Olympic. They are super friendly there.

Awesome diner, great service, and good food. Convenient location. Excellent place for a 3am munchies fix.

I love this place. They take the time to make sure all my food is gluten free. Best Omelets ever. Staff is so much fun. Food is great and they treat you like a part of the family.

Very busy on the weekends. We got the only table left! Fast service. Good food. Many items to choose from on the menu. Retro décor. Pleasant diner experience.

Never had anything I didn’t love!!! The wings and pancakes are my favorite Its always packed but I PROMISE it’s totally worth the wait!!!

The pulled pork platter is always a great choice and they pile it on with enough for two sandwiches. If I can’t make up my mind that’s my default next to a coney or fish.

Food is pretty good. Breakfasts are great. The service is phenomenal! I was disappointed with the coneys when I ordered them though. Did not know that they mixed chunks of meat in with the coney sauce. Kinda yucky, in my opinion (I like regular coney sauce) but, if you like what are named ‘Flint Style Coneys’, you might like them. A favorite for everything else though.

I love this diner. Food is always fast and fresh. Also the employees are great. I have never received bad service at anytime in all the years that I have patronized this establishment.

I wasn’t very impressed with this place. It was loud, crowded, dirty, and the food was just meh. There were flies everywhere that kept landing on me as I tried to eat. this bummed me out. The food… ugh, I ordered the 2 piece cod with fries. I cut open the first piece and it was riddled with orange goo. It looked like cheddar cheese was melted inside it. I’m hoping it was just the batter that didn’t get cooked all of the way (I didn’t eat this piece). I cut open the second piece and it was fine and the fries were nothing special. I pretty much just at those and the coleslaw. My bf got the coney special and seemed to be satisfied with his meal. I guess you can’t really go wrong with that tho. l won’t be back here anytime soon.

This place has great food. The Farmers breakfast is great and will fill you up all day. It’s a great deal too for less than 7 bucks. Like another review said the pancakes are the best around so make sure to get some. With most meals you can sub the toast or some side for a pancake. Good way to go if you don’t want a whole stack.

I’m somewhat of a pancake connoisseur and these are THE best pancakes I’ve ever had. You wouldn’t know it just looking at them, but you’ll know it when you eat them.

I have been here multiple times and never had an issue until last night. The waitress was a little rude and just kind of came off as though we were bothering her. She then proceeded to tell the next table she went to «sorry they took forever» motioning to our table. We attempted to share our concerns with the manager (written down on the back of our receipt from one of my party). She seemed to care until the waitress walked over asking what was wrong. The manager immediately became condescending and somewhat rude about the whole issue. As we left the other waitresses were at the counter reading every was written and laughed. It was horrible service and uncomfortable for us as customers on multiple levels. We will not be back that’s for sure.

Love the blueberry pancakes!!! The coney dogs are as close to the original Flint Coneys that you will find. Being open 24 hours a day, it’s no surprise to find this place busy at all times of day and night. Service is pretty good… always full when I leave.

This is the definition of good diner food and atmosphere. The coffee, coneys, milkshakes and all fried things here are great. My grandparents used to love coming here, and they even have a drive thru! All of waitstaff is awesome. Those sassy ladies really give the environment a comfortable, family feeling. The prices are awesome — speaking as someone who came here countless times while in high school and in college with friends, we always ate very well on our meager budgets! It’s a 24 hour diner too, and I hear it can get VERY busy after the bars close on weekends! ;)

Stopped in here for lunch today, had a Groupon, notice the recurring theme?
This is one of the Flint area’s old school coney islands. The place was packed with a constant stream of customers.
We ordered fish and chips, a Sicilian sandwich and a salad to share.
The fish and chips were ok, served with a side of coleslaw and fries.
My sandwich came highly recommended by our server. It consisted of shredded turkey and ham, salami, tomatoes and lettuce on a ciabatta bun with the secret sauce. It was pretty good and also came with fries.
The marinated chicken salad in an edible bowl was ok, nothing to write home about.
The service was excellent and quick with attention to detail. The food was fresh and well prepared. We would definitely return.
They have a work man’s special a cheeseburger, coney dog, fries and a coke for $ 5.99.

After being a customer for most of my life, I will not be going back. Star Light has gotten very dirty inside. There was literally feces on the bathroom floors (both men’s and women’s). After eating I had explosive diahrea.

This place gives dives a bad name.
Just say no. Some people love greasy spoons and all that they entail. I don’t. I’m one of those pesky people that prefers a clean establishment with good service and good food. Yes, I’m picky, I know. I have never had anything here that was remarkable in a good way. I guess the french fries doused in ranch dressing on the side comes closest, so that isn’t saying much, right? Old school meatloaf dinners and chili cheese fries are the big thing here and I don’t eat either one, nor do I intend to start now. Besides that, it just isn’t all that clean. I had a hair in my salad before. No thank you.
Greasy food, slow service, being leered at by weirdos and the drunks after the bars close. Yikes. They don’t call it «Starlight, start a fight for nothing.» Just ask the cops. Oh, and I saw two people having sex in a car in the parking lot…

This place was really neat. In MI they call them Coney, in New England, we call them diners. This place was packed. My BF said this was an all the time thing. So I think people like it. :)
We had the chicken tenders and an Oreo milkshake. It was great!
Service was great. I don’t recall our servers names but she was real nice and was on top of it all!

I have to admit I was skeptical given it is a Coney Island, but wow. Impressed! Was packed when we arrived, so three of us grabbed a stool at the bar. With great fast service we ordered a piping hot DELICIOUS breakfast! The bill was under $ 25 and everyone was happy, couldn’t have asked for anything else. Will return for sure!
