| - Starlite is a small, quaint, rustic environment with a great looking bar. I would imagine this would be a great place to go for cocktails and hang out, but my boyfriend and I went for our weekly cheat meal. We eat super healthy six days a week (we're dieting), then on Saturdays we splurge one meal. So I always research the place in advance to make sure the menu and reviews look good. Starlight had great reviews, so we decided to try it out. We were ravenous, so we finished our meal, because that was the only comfort food we were going to get for another week. We ordered several items, and shared them all.
We ordered the fried mac and cheese, which was very clearly not made fresh. It came out in a square-like brick, very dry, and it had what appeared to be freezer burn around the edges. The flavor in the middle was good though once you got through the dryness. I should have taken a picture... it was bad.
We also ordered the St Louis Ribs, which had nice flavor, but were EXTREMELY tough. So tough in fact, we could not separate the ribs by tearing them; we had to use a knife, and we had to saw for about a full minute per rib. I'm not exaggerating. They were very dry as well, but the bbq sauces were delicious, so that made it edible.
Next, we shared the chopped pork sandwich. Now this one was really good!! The slaw and pickles were awesome, and it had lots of pork on it. The french fries were also very good.
Last, I ordered a pineapple cocktail, which was very bitter and expensive. Our total tab was $85 before tip; the prices definitely do not match the quality of food.
Service was great though... I wish I could remember our server's name. He was great! We did not mention anything to him; we don't like sending food back, (I've been warned against that.. lol) and the server doesn't control the quality of food anyway. Hopefully management reads this and communicates with the chef/cooks though. We won't be back, at least not for food.
