I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Bright Star Restaurant, and I must say, it was an absolutely flawless experience from start to finish. From the moment I stepped through the doors of this historic establishment, I was transported to a place where culinary excellence and tradition reign supreme. The ambiance is enchanting, with classic decor and a welcoming atmosphere that reflects its enduring charm since 1907. The food was a masterpiece, with each dish crafted with care and precision, delivering a symphony of flavors that danced on my palate. The freshness of the ingredients and the skill of the chefs truly shone through in every bite. Not only was the food exceptional, but the service was also top-notch, with attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable staff who made me feel like a valued guest from the moment I walked in. In conclusion, the Bright Star Restaurant is a true gem that deserves every bit of its stellar reputation. Whether you're a longtime patron or a first-time visitor, you're sure to be swept away by the magic of this historic establishment. I can't wait to return and savor more unforgettable moments at the Bright Star. Highly recommended!

Bright Star is a favorite of locals. Rich is history, this is the only “nice” restaurant left in the area. The food is always good and the service is great. With that being said on a recent visit I noticed the dining areas were not as clean as they should be. A lot of dust fixtures and in corners. The table my husband and I was sat at was not clean. Crumbs and food particles from I assume the previous guest on the table, the tray for the sugar, salt, pepper was very messy with food partials, dust and Evan a couple of hairs. Bright Star, we love your establishment. Please step up the cleaning.

Been here several times and every time it is a treat. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The history alone is impressive as the oldest restaurant in Alabama. The food is always delicious and served with large portions. This is a special place to many and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.
