Found a little gem of an eatery this afternoon in Charminster. In the words of Arnie (which is quite appropriate given the theme of the place) ‘I’ll be back’! Good food at an honest price and happy, friendly staff. Well done Starz.
Great place to eat, good atmosphere, lovely staff and top shelf service.
Fabulous ham and tomato omelette SW style cooked by the lovely Fernanda Pazzanese at this great retro style diner. Had forgotten how much I love the 60's music always playing here. Long overdue visit ����
Brilliant for any occasion, be it a couple of drinks, date, get together, meal, or any other occasion u may fancy !
I worked here a year ago. I know how the chef is committed to his work. Sometimes full sometimes not so much but the taste of the food is excellent. One wonders how such a small restaurant has such high quality food. As for the waitress they come and go and change, like everything in this small town of Bournemouth. Now under new administration we expect Starz to return to its foundations to be a place to enjoy the food.
Really great place. We visited as a big group for brunch and ordered all different things from the menu: chicken club sandwich, 9 items, 7 items, pancakes, scrambled eggs with salmon, mac'n'cheese. The food was delicious! And Waitress very friendly and warm.
The only fault I could find was their size of the teas. I enjoy a big cup of herbal tea, and unfortunately they only provide small glasses. And if I was making the scrambled eggs at home I would have cooked them for just 1 minute longer. Unfortunately, I wasn't the biggest fan of the bagel either, it was way too hard for me to bite ( I have braces atm).
We will definitely be going back to try more and order many many portions of their pancakes. They are too die for!
Absolutely FANTASTIC. From breakfast to dinner and cocktails. Never had a bad experience. Wonderful staff, lovely new owner. Clean fully stocked toilets and baby changing facilities. Never a dirty high chair or anything a problem. It's a must!
Great place for breakfast and American style cuisine. Lots of breakfast options including waffles, French toast, egg options, and full English. Great burgers too. Service can be a little slow at times and can be very busy.
For me as a tourist I really love their Eggs Benedict meal. Even when I spend most of the time at the beach or in the old town I take the bus for having brunch there!
I can highly recommend this lovely restaurant.
Update in November 2018: I really love their burgers as well!
First time I visited this American styled feel,took me by surprise, I just thought it was going to be be another over rated place. Well the food was really good service was excellent, and I would visit again. Clean,great look to the place with a selection of beautiful photos of the stars, Elvis, Monroe, Dean,and many others,a very friendly place,thank you.
Had a nice omelette here and price was very reasonable too. The only reason for dropping a star is a minor one, parking in the top of Charminster is flipping difficult at the best of times. Other than that, great!
Cool place for food, particularly breakfast amd brunch. Good menu selection and friendly staff. A modern diner with a film twist. I've been going here for years and have always had a good experience.
American style dinner. Have been here a few times. Popular, always busy, staff work above and beyond to ensure they provide great service. the only downfall is I feel the menu is a bit pricey and not many meat free options . Great outside sitting.

Fun, 50s style decor and delightful cocktails. The cocktail menu is quite small, but the staff will make anything you ask for that isn't on the menu. I'd recommend the oreo Baileys milkshake!
Great place to go day or night! Friendly staff, great atmosphere and the toilet seat I've ever seen! Great food, extensive menu to suit all. Love it!
Always like to drop in to this cafe/bar in Charminster for a coffee ... great breakfasts too - they do food right through the day but I've not had an evening meal there (yet!)
Friendly service and reasonable prices
