Hillsborough Star Diner

Reviewed By tullio7

This a better than average Jersey Greek Din er. It is located right on US Highway 206. Ahuge menu. Conter service, booths and tables in the backroom. If you like a table ask to be seated in the backroom Very comfortable. For a diner the variety is great. The scallops were excellent as was the Turkey dinner. You can get a great omleteshere and the cakes and pies are excellent and you can view them in the dispaly case. Stuffed mushrooms and potato skins are good nice staff! They seem to have a lot of waitresses from foreign countries which is nice

All new menu will new offerings. Great selection with special pancakes and eggs combo. Server was friendly and prompt as was our orders. Portions are generally very large which might result in a take home bag. Kids eat free everyday after 4 pm.Coupons come regularly in Value Pack which can save one around $5.Place is clean and well populated with customers. Plenty of servers and parking.

Passed this place a million times. Thought it was only for catering. They seem to have a high amount of business on the catering end and they provide all sorts of things. We stopped in. You serve yourself coffee, seat yourself. Look at the menu and order up front and they bring it out to you. They had some different breakfast options, hash made of cauliflower. I opted for the blueberry pancakes. I don't know how they made them but they were so light and fluffy! The blueberries literally exploded when you cut into the pancakes. The fruit was fresh. My husband had eggs and pancakes with potatoes. Everything was just so yummy. Little expensive, but well worth it!

Went out with 10 friends to watch the game. Great beer selection including Hillsborough local Flounder brewery. Only downer is the kitchen closes at 9, too early for game snacks. Overall we love this place as it is local Che is and you get 20% off on Tuesday’s if you live in town.

Catered Affair

Reviewed By K16kid

You'll go a long way from the Boro to find a shop that makes better and/or more great sandwiches. They have so many choices - multiple subs, paninis, heroes, grilled sandwiches, gourmet and smothered sandwiches. Today I had the Carnegie, a corned beef, on rye with Russian dressing, cole slaw and Swiss cheese sandwich - excellent. My spouse had the Jumping Jack, with smoked turkey, swiss cheese, black olives, mixed greens and hummus with a dash of balsamic in a soft whole wheat tortilla - also excellent.

Old Man Rafferty's

Reviewed By K16kid

We went out for the evening with our adult children and grandchildren and haven't been to Rafferty's in a while. My wife had a lobster dish, I had the shrimp po boy, my son had the stuffed flounder, and his wife had the french dip. The salads Keaton, our waitress, brought were huge, the blue cheese dressing pretty much right on. The dinners arrived and each and every one looked spectacular. If only they tasted as good as they looked. My son's comment about the stuffed flounder was that it had no flavor - next time he'll order fish with flavor. My wife's lobster special was merely a shell pasta with some lobster in a sauce - ok, not great. My daugher-in-law's french dip was fine, but nothing to write home about. And my shrimp po boy was ok - I've had better elsewhere. For the price you pay, it was unanimous at our table - there are better restaurant choices. The highlight of the night - our waitress Keaton - excellent service. If only the food were as good as it looks or as good as her service. Thanks Keaton.

Took granddaughters here. Not a good place with kids, too slow, melt down ensued. The food was ok, but I think it sat a while before it came out. Will try again when we do an adult night out.

This is the place for just great authentic subs, not corporate (like Subway... insulting to even reference them as a comparison). This is where you go to get what you KNOW I'm talking about -- a "great sub". When we go anywhere and have to bring subs, we go here to impress the folks at our tailgates. The lines out the door are testimony that Boro knows great subs. Don't drive away...get in the line and be prepared to move fast. They work behind the line like machines. Please know what you're ordering to keep the line moving...and please don't be on your phone when it's time to order. They have built a process to get you your great sub without delay, don't mess it up for the rest of us behind you. Listen to how others order in front of you so you won't have to hesitate when it's your turn. Keep Calm and Sub On... no better place in town. Not even close.

Reviewed By 179cynthiaf

The restaurant was full, so the service wasn't as attentive as I had expected, and the tables were close enough together that the conversations from adjacent tables was annoying. I noticed that none of the servers were smiling and I found that odd.I enjoyed my three appetizers and they were so filling that I didn't have room for dessert, other than a delicious glass of Warrior Port.I recommend the poached pear salad (I ordered the dressing on the side), the tuna tartare and the gnocchi (with brussel sprouts, feta and squash or pumpkin puree.)
