What Winnipeg Residents Say About Us

"The White Star Diner is such a gem in Winnipeg!! My absolute favourite is the Salisbury steak, topped with fried onions, mushrooms and homemade gravy with a side of fries!! Each and every time I eat at White Star the food is consistently amazing and the service is unparalleled!!"

- Danostar, Winnipeg

"Owner is super friendly and offers great service. Decent selection. The poutine is all homemade and very flavorful. Wife had the pork added and made it a meal. The split pea soup is very hearty and delicious. The burger is flattop style with a nice crust. Fresh bun and veggies. Fair prices."

- TAMAN1951, Liberty Lake

"I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place already. I've been going to this place since it first opened on Albert St. The 'Double Oink' has changed — it now has a burger patty added on to it, so it's really going to fill you up. If you're looking for a heart attack on a bun, then order the Grilled Cheese section of the menu."
