We loved this place!!!! The food was good and the staff was so nice. There are so many cool things to purchase there. It is a whole lot of trinkets or things you don't really need but is fun to pick up on a whelm. I did not have the Eggs Benedict but they looked great. This place was so... More

The food was so terrible non of us ate. The fruit was from a can. I don't feed that to my kids at home, why would I want them to eat it at a restaurant? Gross!

Galveston is my favorite place to vacation. Star is our favorite place to eat. I love the old fashioned atmosphere. The food is great. The staff is great. We went several times during our visit. It's in a cute little part of the downtown where you can park and walk to a few stores after you eat. There are even... More

Good old fashion breakfast at a good price is always available at the Star Drug Store. Ambience is nice and nostalgic. Outside dining a treat in good weather.

Don't think they've sold drugs for a long time but it's a great place for lunch. Friendly greeting when you come in the door. Very good food. The cook even asked us how we liked our lunch. We were all impressed. Even bought a couple of T shirts.

We read about it and it was not very difficult to find. Nice retro style. We shared a ham sandwich on a croissant and a coke, as we had had a large breakfast: it was tasty, delicious, just hit the spot. There were many other temptations but it will have to be for another time.

You should know that I weigh about 300 lbs. I like to eat. I eat everywhere and I eat only what I like and where I like. If its mediocre, I say so and if its the best I say. Everyday breakfast is everything you expect and a little more. The old drug store is a great atmosphere and the... More

Great welcome. Choice of table or counter. Nice to see food cooked in front of you....all VERY clean and tidy. Lots of coffee. Went with my kids who loved it and ate everything. Nice to support a local business. Fairly priced food compared to others.

Had a wonderful breakfast here. Like stepping back in time. Pancakes are great along with all the other choices. Very friendly service. Take a look at the old safe in the back of the drug store. I'm glad places like this are still around.

When you walk into the place, it is like stepping back in time. Loved the counter service. My dad got the Galveston omelet and I had the half sandwich and soup. He swears that is the best omelet he has ever eaten. He got his with grits and wheat toast. He thoroughly enjoyed his meal. The tomato soup that came... More
