★★★★★ 5.0 Jalen Turner · Feb 2026

The last time I got something to eat here which was a while ago, I got the burger and fries. It was pretty good. Today it was only right that I get the original cheese coneys and chili cheese fries and I am a happy camper. Drive thru was fast and the guy at the window was easy going, quick, and professional. Got to love Gold Star!!!!! ⭐

★★★★★ 5.0 Theodore Egan · Jan 2026

Despite it being a freezing cold night and the restaurant being short staffed, my order was prepared perfectly after a small wait. The food was good and hot and flavored as it should be. Staff was friendly and inviting. BOGO special was a welcome treat that can occasionally be scored if you become an online member!

★★★★★ 5.0 The Talented Mr Ripley · Jul 2025

This location, its quality of food, atmosphere, and its staff are AMAZING! 5 Stars all the way around - not all Gold Stars are created equal so just know that this location is amazing! Oh also bonus hack: try the banana milkshake!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Aaron Gerdus · Feb 2026

I love goldstar but this particular one leaves a lot to be desired. If you like waiting forever for lukewarm food this would be your place. Luckily it is still the best chili on the planet.

★★★★★ 5.0 Elizabeth Stanton-Finnegan · Oct 2025

Tried the chicken sandwich for the first time I was HIGHLY impressed! It was not a lot of breading crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside you can tell it was made fresh. With the fries. I got veg chili with the chili cheese sandwich and it's always a hit!!!!
