Desert Star Restaurant

I hate to even give this any kind of a star. The play ""bipolar express"". was lame and boring. Seemed like something my kids would have put on or you would see at an amature high school play.\r \r The food was disgusting. I don't know where the steaks were but they were no where on our menu. we only could choose from pizza and appetizers. \r My husband and I got the chicken basket. I think the chicken was from a can and pressed together in breading. It didn't taste or feel like chicken at all.\r \r The seating is horrible. 4 people to a table the size you would have in your living room beside your couch (end table). Very cramped. Everytime we moved we were hitting someone at our table or someone to the table next to us. \r \r Our server was an idiot. When we asked him to move a Chair from the back of our table next to the railing that no one was using he tried to just grab it out. which would have resulted in injurys to our table and probably several others around it. I had to give him the idea to takemy chair and slide the other around. He also spilled ranch all over my husband and said ""oops it spilled"". He didn't bring anything to clean it up or more dipping sauce. \r \r They really need to serve alcohol. It would've made this horrible experience more manageable.\r \r I would not ever go back in a million years. I would not suggest anyone to go there. more

Not a lot of variety on the menu, but the steaks have always been excellent and the price absolutely can't be beat. Their steaks do seem to cook slightly to the 'well' side. Even my wife, who likes her steaks medium-well and can't stand pink meat thought she would get medium next time. Seating is in the open, like at a 'Western Style' Cafe. Tables are actually picnic benches covered by red and white checkered table cloths. Benches are without back support. The wait can be very long on weekends. I recommend reservations if you have a large group. Your family will be happy here. I often take 8 or 10 people at a time to this place. While you are there, make plans to go see their Playhouse 'farce' that they run next door, especially on weekends. Buy tickets well in advance if you want good seats. Pros: Good Food, Fun atmosphere, Very Cheap for Steak Cons: Not a lot of variety, 'Western' seating, Often crowded more

Finally, great comedy where you don't have to cover the kid's ears. Every time I go, I come away with a side ache from laughing so hard. Pros: Family oriented, Funny, Affordable more

This is a great place for steak! I had the 12 oz. ribeye and my date had the half-rack of BBQ ribs. My ribeye was tender and cooked to perfection and had a good char-broiled flavor. The ribs were tender and had generous amounts of meat on them. Both entrees were served with baked beans and veggies that were cooked just right. They weren't too crisp and weren't too soggy. Our server was knowledgable, cheerful and prompt. The best part was the prices. A similar steak at other steak places would have cost $14-$16 but at Desert Start it was only $11.99. I highly recommed this place to all! Enjoy! Oh, you sit at picnic tables with a red checkered tablecloth so be prepared for that. Pros: excellent prices, hearty portions, great tasting food more

I thought that the plays are fun and very silly. The servers were awesome and were very upbeat. It's got a wonderful family atmosphere and I love the audience interaction. I can't wait for the new show to start! Pros: silly, delicious food, people were great Cons: not enough space, the tables were small more

We didn't expect much from this homey-looking little place, but the food was amazingly good. The steaks were as good as any we've had at the higher-toned eateries around town--or better. And the prices are great. Pros: Excellent steaks, Fun atmosphere, Great prices more

I love this playhouse, the spoofs are so funny, I fell off my chair from laughing so hard, which of course made the players make fun of me as well. It's an all around good time. Pros: good entertainment, good acting, very funny shows Cons: a little crowded more

Great place.....good food, good fun. They had a bit of a problem getting my hubby's steak WELL done..but all in all it was enjoyable. The manager is a doll. he gave us free desert to make up for the steak. Pros: great atmosphere, doggie bags are cool, good selection Cons: problem cooking steak more

This truly should be #1. An outing to this theatre can be the funnest night of your life! You'll laugh till you fall to the floor. It's fun for everyone, and you can eat at the same time you watch a show. The casts are wonderful and very talented! Pros: Atmosphere, Talent, Humor Cons: Tables are crowded more

The Desert Star Playhouse is GREAT!! It is always fun and entertaining. It can also be romantic too, with the friend I am dating. We have bought season tickets because we love to go there to all the plays. Not one word bad or down about them!!! They are just Wonderfully Great!!!! more

I have attended the playhouse twice and left feeling so much better. I laughed all evening. All ages were entertained. I can't get those crazy characters out of my mind. It makes me want to join them in a play acting group. This is tops in corny entertainment. Pros: affordable, good variety, suits all ages Cons: fills up fast more

The food is hot, fresh, and delicious. The atmosphere is fun. The place is like new and even better than ever. Pros: good food, inexpensive, fun atmosphere more

I have had season tickets for the past three or four years and continue to love each performance. The director is the best, Scott Holman. The wait staff is friendly and you never have to worry about the content of the show. Over all, Desert Star Playhouse is a great, wholesome evening out (and the jokes/punch lines are very comical). We even signed up three new couples for season tickets. :) Pros: Good Parking, Friendly, Fun Cons: Crowded, Small Tables, Bad Pizza more

We go there as a family 2-3 times a year and are never disappointed. Although our first experience was by far the best we love our return visits. It's a great family experience! Pros: fun, relaxing, good value Cons: crowded more
