on Citysearch Feb 27, 2009The service is always great and the food is even better. Great spicy cheeseless pizza! The crowd can become somewhat noisy, but its a family friendly joint. Highly recommend it! (more)

on Citysearch Nov 28, 2008This place is great. The eclectic decor sets the tone for some really interesting dishes, many with a bit of Cuban flare. Go for breakfast/brunch - it's really yummy. (more)

on Citysearch Sep 02, 2008I used to work at Starliner Diner for about a 1 1/2 and ate ALL of the food on the menu. I now live in California and there is NOTHING bad I can say about the food at all... it is worthy of a franchise. If you live in the Columbus... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 29, 2008Starliner Diner is near the top of my list for Columbus. I've not had a bad meal or item there yet. The plantain appetizer is simply the best I have ever had; it's sweet with a spicy dressing. Only problem is that it is... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 08, 2008I've heard so much I had to try it. The first time I was disappointed, the cuban flavor of my dish was not to my liking, so I figured I should give it a second try, then a third. Both my husband and myself tried different... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 24, 2007I've only eaten here once, but other than finding the place, it was a wonderful experience! I got the Creole Macaroni, which was FULL of chicken and other yumminess -- every bite was a total treat -- you'd never know it... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 06, 2007This is one of our favourite little places to eat in Hilliard. The food is wonderful with pasta dishes containing more "toppings" than the actual pasta, something I've never seen before but love. They also have a... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 19, 2006great if you are looking for something out of the ordinary. i would not classify this as a mexican restaurant. it is a nice blend of cuban, latin american and traditional fares south of the border. i have been going... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 26, 2006We went with a few friends specifically to try the plantains - a hard find in Columbus restaurants. All the food was very tasty, large portions and while the decor was kinda cheesy, it gave us lots to talk about while... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 03, 2006What a great change of pace. The food is excellent. Check out the specials on the left as you walk in. If it sounds interesting, it probably will be and it will taste delicious. If you are tired of chain restaurants and... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 15, 2005I love SD! The Jalapeno soup and sweet potato/corn tamales are delicious. The soup has wonderful flavor and generally doesn't set your mouth on fire. I've loved almost everything I've ordered here. The menu has many... (more)

on Judys Book Sep 17, 2005Small self-owned and run place that is anything but the usual. The quirky decorating and non-matching dishes will sure to keep your conversation busy. When your meal is served, the food alone will keep you on the same... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 08, 2005I was reluctant to try SD because, quite honestly, it looked so tacky. But we'd heard good things about it, and decided to give it a try. I am so glad we did! SD is a welcome change from the usual burger/steak/wing/rib... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 01, 2005We never have any reason to go to Hilliard other than to eat at the Starliner Diner. In fact, we live all the way on the opposite end of town. It takes us no less than 25 minutes to drive there. But we are willing to make the... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 11, 2002This restaurant is a rare find indeed, and it sure does not look it on the inside. Once you are inside, the uniqueness of the decor matches the uniqueness of its superb menu. Do not miss out on this rarity, you will not be... (more)
