Always loved this place and its never let me down.
Delicious onion rings, large portions of a burger, have veggie burger options, many toppings, they have ice creams (that are great), a wonderful environment (space), and nice service. One of the best burger places to go in Whitby, and even Durham region.
Worth a try, and you'll probably be back. -

I get the appeal for this burger joint, it looks authentic, been around forever and caters to the right market without confusion. I've eaten here a few times as I feel most places must be given chances over several occasions, over a long period of time before making judgement.
It's ok, not the best, certainly not the worst. However, burgers although a good portion, are not great, the fries are ok, the onion rings have too much batter and are extremely greasy (worse if you get take out as batter and oil make the rings soggy).
As for value...decent, certainly reasonable.
So, it's not bad, might be for you, for me I've had better, comes down to taste and expectations. -

We've been to Starr Burger before, but yesterday I was reminded of why we only go there about once a year. My wife & I took our two young boys there for lunch, & waited an appropriate amount of time for our food (about 10 minutes, as there were several people ahead of us). The food was definitely disappointing, especially considering that they seem to be perennial winners in the "Best Burger" polls in the local newspaper.
My Starr Burger (no bacon or cheese) was very dry & almost tasteless, which is strange, seeing as how they're supposed to be made of fresh ground beef. When you ask anybody to describe a good burger, nine times out of ten, the first word used, is "juicy". My burger was so dry that I had to use my root beer to wash it down (normally, I hardly touch my drink until I'm done eating). The burger toppings were pleasantly fresh & tasty, but let's face it, nobody goes back to a place because their toppings are fresh. The burger is supposed to be the star of the show, & this one was a huge letdown. Dry, bland & understated. Not a good statement piece.
Their fries may be fresh-cut, but all I could taste was the starchy, potato-whitener they use. The fries were also very bland & tasteless, again, very disappointing for "fresh-cut". I would rather have frozen fries that taste good than fresh-cut fries with no taste. A good french fry shouldn't need ketchup, vinegar or any other condiments if they're hot & they're made properly. McDonald's has the best fries of any fast-food chain, & they're frozen. If you can't figure out how to make freshly-cut fries without using a ton of potato-whitener, then maybe you're in the wrong business, or maybe you should just use frozen fries.
My wife's grilled chicken sandwich was so salty that she could barely eat it. I'm not sure what seasoning they use on their chicken, but they were obviously a little too heavy-handed while applying it.
There were a couple of highchairs available for use, & when I grabbed one for my 19-month-old, I noticed the plastic buckle on the safety strap was broken. I went to grab the other highchair, but it had NO plastic buckle on it. It's not the worst thing you could find in a family restaurant, but it definitely doesn't help their cause, either. The decor & the 50's diner motif is neat, but if you're going in the fall or winter, be sure to wear a sweater. I don't know why, but it always seems drafty in there, even when you're not sitting by the door.
It seems like I'm always disappointed when I leave Starr Burger, & the next time I'm craving a burger, I'm going to Johnny Burger. They might use frozen burgers & fries, but at least they actually taste good, & it's a better value. -

Starr Burgers in Whitby leaves a lot to be desired in terms of friendly service cleanliness and seating area for customers or lack thereof.
As far as the food goes...potential patrons to this eatery should be aware that Starr Burgers has several safety infractions and a food safety violation conviction on their record...

Great Burgers,fries and especially the Onion Rings!
Never had a bad meal. Everyone loves this place.
Handmade everything, what's not to like?
Not a fifth star due to service issues on occasion. Nothing too bad just can't justify 5 stars.
Recommend having the Steak on a kaiser! -

The best place for a burger in Whitby. Great burgers, fantastic fries... one of my favorite spots. The only reason why I can't give them 5 stars is that I don't particularly like their gravy. Aside from the gravy, everything I've tried on the menu is great.

If you want a REAL burger, this is the place to get it! Lots of choices, grilled fresh! This is a great place for a burger and fries! Probably the best in Whitby.
