The Starliner Diner, with its vibrant murals and walls loaded with good, old-fashioned American kitsch, has amassed a bit of a cult following in Columbus over the years. We think it's the winning formula of good food for cheap, but there's probably more to it. Everyone in town flocks here for breakfast or brunch, when the restaurant's addictive huevos rancheros are at their peak. But the full menu of Cuban-fusion food appeals to everyone's tastebuds, even the often-overlooked veggie set. Meatless items such as the plantain appetizer, served with salsa dressing or pan roasted vegetables served with black beans on steamed rice convince even carnivores that you don't need meat to have flavor. Pepper fans get instant gratification from smoky chipotles and chili sauces that give some dishes an extra kick. But of all the groups who come here, the happiest is usually the budget-conscious.

so so

I lived in Hilliard many years and had heard about the diner. I finally went , but was very disapointed. The service was very slow (I didn't mind the 20 minute wait if the food was good), and we were never offered a refill on coffee. The food was so so. I had the blueberry pancakes. They did use fresh blueberries, but the taste was bland. My husband had the omelet, and he thought is wasn't worth the price. The place is old and loaded with kitsch, but can use alot of cleaning.
Add Commenttry the cuban french toast

I have enjoyed the Starliner since it opened. I try to get there for dinner at least once a month. The food is Great, It is a little loud be cause people are haveing a good time with friends and family while eating and drinking. The Breakfast is the best Brunch on Sunday is hard to get a seat but well worth it. If you like spice you can be hot here. Try the salsa dressing on the salad.
oh wow
My husband loves peppers and I'm allergic so the Starliner was a strange choice for him to make for dinner. But boy am I glad the waitstaff couldn't have been more helpful. We both were able to order and enjoy a wonderful meal the plantains were great and my angel hair pasta with shimp and a bunch of great stuff was out of this world. My husband order the pasta dish above the angel hair dish on the menu, Sorry don't remember the name and he loved it. The cuban bread is a special treat. Can hardly wait to try breakfast!!!!
Still the best!

This is a regular carryout for us. There is always something good for everyone!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!
All I can say is this is my favorite place to eat!! My daughter is 7 and loves it too!! You have to try the Plantains and the Cajun Shrim Jumbalya?? YUM!!!
My Favorite Restaurant

This place is awesome. Not only do they have a wonderful menu all the time, but their daily specials really make ordering difficult. I always have a hard time deciding what I want to eat when I go here, because EVERYTHING is awesome. From the moment you walk in the door, the atmosphere is relaxing and fun. This place is a gem.
Do Not listen to MOZVEN
Mozven must have accidentally walked into the animal hospital next door and ate poo? I have been to the starliner many many times and have never had a poor meal or poor service! They have a wonderful menu and the atmosphere is not like one of Mozven's "cookie cutter" hangouts! Sorry Mozven this is not Mitchells nor should it be! This is a wonderfully unique place with a delicious cuban flare! Take a date she will love it and you will score some points for your selection!!
