I can't recommend this place more. Great breakfast, at a great price.
Ended up trying this place since they were right down the street and ended up going on a weekly basis.
If you're in town, I HIGHLY recommend.
Always feels like coming home. The food is delicious. The owners are wondrous!
Ostensibly a Greek restaurant, the Morning Star's menu is more akin to a classic American diner with Greek food also scattered throughout. You can get omelettes, a Reuben sandwich, and Spanikopita all at once. My wife had an apple cinnamon French toast which was delicious, including big apple chunks baked into the bread. I had a classic Gyro with fries and a Greek coffee. Everything was very tasty, and not much more than you'd pay per person at a McDonald's. What's keeping them from being 5 star is the constricting hours, they close at 2:30pm, and they are cash only which makes going there an extra hassle in a day when most places let you pay with your phone now, or at least a card, and fewer people are carrying cash.
Always amazing breakfast specials! Love their French toast!
Super cute , homey, breakfast place. Cash only, and a basic menu of Greek foods and diner favorites that are really really well done. I included a picture of the bill to show how cheap it is. This will be a staple in my diner repertoire.
Good food and service. The specials are better than the regular menu. A hidden gem. Tasty Sunday Brunch choices. Great breakfast brunch specials on Saturday too.
Morningstar is a bit of a hidden gem in Rochester and one of a handful of Greek diners left around. The food is excellent and the service is very personable. I love having an easy spot in the neighborhood that I can pop into for a quick bite. No frills, just exactly what I need. And don’t forget cash! No credit cards accepted here.
Love this out of the way place for breakfast. No matter how many people are there you can still have a conversation. Family owned and operated. Very nice I recommend it
Delicious breakfast food, well and thoroughly cooked and definitely with more quality than other breakfast places and diners in the area. Great owners and fast service. I wish they weren't limited to just cash payments only though. They would work well with grubhub and doordash if they offered it. Definitely will tell more people about this gem in the Merchants area.
Wait staff is wonderful, in fact charming. Food is quality diner type, but you always,know who s cooking with pride and experience. Nice plants... I d .call it a cafè diner with delicious home made desserts in a bright setting with plants.
