Great diner experience and the skor cake I had was amazing.

Daniel Picard

Came for the 2019 burger love burger and I was not disappointed one bit. Great taste and just enough juice and sauce to make a slight mess on the hands. …

Don Rayner

It's a small 50's style dinner and there is a good selection of menus items. The food although typical of local dinners was well prepared and the service was delivered with a smile.

Awesome food, prompt service and huge menu.

Mat Mueller

Cool place. Good food. Makes you feel like being in the 1950s. Friendly staff.

Debby Kershaw

Best breakfast I have had in years! Service was great. I'm happy with the covid precautions. Amazing skillet! And to top it off good coffee.

D Brown

Stopped at this diner as a last minute decision. We where fueling up and seen the restaurant next door with lots of locals using it. Always a good sign to me. The decor is very 50/60/70's, brought back a few memories. Enjoyed the ambiance. The staff a very attentive. The food is very good, prices are fair. Service was fast and efficient. This would be another place to add to your stop if you are visiting the area. Parking is a bit tight but should not be a problem unless you are driving a full size Hummer.

We had an good old grilled cheese and fries. It hit the spot and at a great price too. Service was fantastic.

Marcel Savoie

Atmosphere was great, service and food was amazing! Highly recommend it.

Tiffany Richards

Worst experience ever at any diner/restaurant. I am giving a 1 star because I can not give a negative one. We were a family of 6. 2 of us ordered the same thing. Hers was excellent, mine was horrible to the point I was unable to eat. Hot …

Trudy Hyslop

Delicious, inexpensive food!

Tracey B

Service was great, food was good too. The only reason they got 4/5 is because they were out of a few items for nacho toppings and we were informed after the fact and not given a chance to change our order. Reasonably priced too.

Cris Baets

After a long day out with the kids this was a welcome stop. The kids had a blast picking songs on the jukebox and trying to make the servers dance. The food was exactly what you look for in a diner, this isn't fine cuisine but it's great comfort food. The servers were friendly and easy going even though we were there near closing. Great milkshakes!!

nice small restaurant when you can find casual food close to some hotel/motel …

Kirk Bratvold

Delicious fresh-made fare in an authentic classic dinner atmosphere. A worthwhile stop in Summerside.

Elisa Rose

Went at an off time on mother's day. The waitress while nice never offered to refill our waters. The food is good classic dinner food. Their sweet potatoe fries are awesome.

ken smith

Excellent diner experience. Staff is very friendly and prices are reasonable. Food always comes out quickly and is warm. The 50’s theme is very nice - like stepping back in time. They have a great breakfast along with a wide range of lunch and dinner options. Also, a great selection of shakes and ice cream treats.

John Paul Handrigan

Good food at reasonable prices. I stopped in here after a long day at the beach. Enjoyed the special of fish and chips. …

Kim M

The food was so good I forgot to take pics. Feels like you're walking into a 50s movie. All the food coming out of the kitchen also looked delicious. A bit of a wait, but worth it.

Suzanne St.Amand

Love the atmosphere and the food. I had the chicken quesadilla the other day and it was the best one that I ever had! Great prices too????

MrPEIdirt

We had a group of 16 people go there for lunch. All the meals were hot and fresh. Food tasted great!!

Kristy Suik

This place had a very cool 50's diner look and feel. We went based on a recommendation from our motel, and found the place to be very busy. Although there was tables open, the staff barely had the time to clean between running from table to table. The menu is very simple, one sided piece of paper, and a little plain. The meals were a little Luke warm after arriving at the table, but still edible. If you enjoy the atmosphere more than the meal, this place was great. We would have preferred a but more attentiveness to the details, like hot meals and clean tables.

cory gavin

The food was great and very reasonably priced. The milkshakes are a must try, I had the Oreo Cheesecake one, and it was delicious. Bacon cheeseburger and fries were tasty. They also have a jukebox and the atmosphere was really cool. Server was super friendly. We'll be back again soon!

Fiona Bratvold

Good food. Their seafood chowder is amazing. Nice 50's theme. Polite staff. Quick service.

Melanie Lucas-Ronaghan

Good food. Service seemed rushed but nice person. Average prices.

Jeff Moffet

Great food, fast service, hot meals, and wait staff came often to check on us. If you hungry have the Double Decker Burger platter. …

Lisa-Mae MacDonald

Food was super yummy service was great. Fun little dinner.

Perfect Cleaning

Nice little place. We stopped by for breakfast and it was good, but the real treat was the 50's diner feel. Very nice

schnitzel

Waited nearly 25 minutes to be served. The food was subpar and overpriced, very reminiscent of cafeteria food. Kraft Dinner mac and cheese costs $14.99 here, yikes.

Denise Grant

Since moving nearby I've eaten here a few times. Absolutely love the seafood chowder and have been recommending it to everyone I know. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly, food is fast. So glad to see the diner finally do good.

Dave Maher

Great place shame the jukebox is broken. It's been broken for like 15 years. Come on Starlite think how much money to could make with it working.

Bob Bryant

We love eating here. It is our favorite go to place in Summerside. They have captured the 50's and 60's ambiance, retro table booths, furnishings and music. All their food is amazing. Great food and affordable, friendly staff. Bob

Christine Hughes

Starlite Diner was satisfactory. The service was great and the whole 50's dinner was amazing. However, I did not enjoy my grilled cheese sandwich. There was an unusual taste and so greasy. There was more then one type of cheese on the sandwich so it may have been a cheese I have never eaten before.

Brianna Dawn

Wow such delicious food! And the waitresses are super super nice there ???? Starlite is definitely a favourite at my house ❤

Alex Al

Nice place. Friendly staff. Good food. What else ?

Wynced

Friendly staff, good food for a decent price. Tables feel a little close together. It's like you're sitting with another group. You have to talk quietly so they can't hear you, but it's a loud atmosphere so your friends can't hear you either. We went at 5pm and it seemed like almost all the clientele was much older. The decorations were very cool to look at. All very bright colors. There's even a jukebox at each table to queue a song for one quarter. Fresh made pie, excellent. Also attached to a dairy bar if that's your preference.

Good meals and great burgers. Milkshakes are probably my favourite there!

Gail Burton

We love diners..food was delicious...staff were awesome...we walked in at 10 to 8..not knowing it closed at 8, we apologized, but they served us, and also gave us free cheesecake, it was mothers day. They were in no hurry for us to leave, we stuck around and visited with the owners, about how clean and interesting their diner was, filled with memorabilia from the 50s. Finally left, and came back the next morning for breakfast, where we sat at the counter and chatted with the young server..such a great experience...loved it

Charlie Yorke

Disgusting!!!! Our burger was raw! As cute as the restaurant is don’t be fooled they will have good food or even safe food. We got the meal taken off our bill but for something so unexceptable the whole bill should have been covered. Hoping food poisoning won’t be in the future from this...

Mike MacDonald

For a diner they served real food not frozen factory products. The staff were very friendly. Fries were excellent. Real chicken in the hot chicken.

Gerard Godin

Wow just wow. Enjoyed my meal and the scor cake yummy. Will definitely be back. Thanks for the great service also

Andrew S

Fast & friendly. Basic diner fare like burgers, fries, sandwiches etc.

Tupp

We have dined here before but I have to say it is much improved. We had an excellent meal. The pricing was very good and the serving sizes were very generous. The staff were excellent as well. The Juke box music is a bonus but can be a little loud at times. We will return.

Elaine

This is a quaint dinner/dairy bar. The atmosphere is '50s retro. The food is delicious and the portions are perfect. I enjoyed the tasty homemade chili and my husband had the scallops and a milkshake that was great. Service is friendly and …

Peter Bown

Quick service and the ambiance was great. Was extremely warm in the restaurant but it was also during a heat wave. Burgers are good. Servings are genrous. Would recommend if you're in Cavendish and want to get away from the crowds.

Kevin Brown

Terrible experience. Asked for a high chair/booster for our 2 year old son and was seated and never provided one (apparently they dont have any but neglected to tell me just rather ignored my requests). Waitress had a personality of a wet towel. She brought our 3 drinks out at 3 different times so nobody had a drink at the same time. Offered no refills. Ordered appetizers which were proud out at the same time as our sons meal which made no sense. Our meals were brought out two minutes later so had to decide to either let the appetizers get cold or our main meal. Somehow green onions made their way into my grilled cheese. Nobody in the kitchen was wearing hair nets or gloves. Overall a very terrible experience and would give less than a 1 star if I could

Cynthia Dool

Went there this evening for supper. My husband ordered the swiss mushroom burger. Had to ask for condiments to put on it otherwise. He was surprised that nothing else came on it like tomato or a pickle or lettuce. The fries were done …

Terry Corcoran

Prices not bad but peas and carrots on baked haddock plate were cold. Very small piece of fish. Mashed potatoes were good though. Home made tarter sauce. Not to my liking. Mine is better. Chicken parmesan plate. Search for the chicken. Fries were good. Too much marinara. Sauce for the portion.

Deanna Trotta

Just had a wonderful dinner there. Our server was great. Atmosphere of retro 50's was fun. Will definitely be back. One small suggestion. Floors should be washed, especially the ladies room.

MIKE OWEN

Went for the burger love. Although not my favorite burger it was decent service and average food. The ambiance was great for nostalgic people.

Maggie H

Great place with a fun atmosphere. Went here for breakfast, enjoyed classic bacon & eggs with fresh potato home fries (more of a rarity in PEI restaurants than you might think...) for a very good price. Server Trish was very efficient and …

Chris Faulkner

Great little diner feel. Little juke boxes gave it an added touch even though they disnt work. Service was great and speedy and our breakfast was tasty!

Sandra McCann

Fun diner experience. Lots of nostalgia from the 1950's! Once Covid restrictions are lifted you'll probably even be able to use the in-booth jukeboxes. Food was good nothing special, but good. Very clean restaurant.

Olivia Ward

Love the look of the place and the food is good and reasonably priced however the service is sometimes very poor. Side note: if you have any nut allergies do not get the dipped chocolate cone, they will tell you they do have a nut-free kind …

Doug Wright

Great food, service and atmosphere... What more could you ask for...?

Bern LeBlanc

Good ice cream, prices are getting on the high side. Server was friendly.

Tom Banks

The burgers here are very good and a good size as the platter. It does get busy during prime times and service was a little slow, but the food is good. As for the ice cream sundaes, awesome and worth it

Shirley Willmott

A Real Gem......great varied b'fast menu. Excellent service, delicious food , fun atmosphere and very reasonable prices. Sadly, found when leaving Summerside. Definitely will refurn next visits. Highly Recommend.

Wendy D.

Food was good, old diner atmosphere was great, value was good. Unfortunately it seemed we overwhelmed them in the off season and they didn't seem to really want us there. A bit of mix ups with orders as well. They reccomend some of our …
