Why: Although diners became a part of the American landscape more than 100 years ago, just a few styles have endured the test of time. Stardust Diner, which represents the 1950s, is a family-friendly blast from this age when rock ‘n’ roll was birthed and the Space Age arrived. The authentic prefabricated restaurant and its contents provide a one-of-its-kind experience in Clark County. The menu offers classic diner options for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week and it is one of the few places where breakfast is served all day.
What I tried: I had the Special Country Breakfast, which consists of two eggs, bacon or sausage (I chose bacon), and two biscuits topped with homemade gravy. I also had the fresh-squeezed orange juice.
Although they offer regular orange juice, I was glad I requested the fresh-squeezed. It was sweet and refreshing.
I opted for scrambled eggs and was pleased to find them well-scrambled and thoroughly cooked. They tasted as though they were prepared in a fresh pan, void of unpleasant residue, which I appreciated. Stardust’s smoked applewood bacon was exceptionally prepared. It was meaty, slightly (not overly) chewy, had a slight crisp on the edges and a sweet, smoky flavor. The biscuits were very soft and moist, and they were topped with an ample amount of delicious sausage gravy, which was seasoned with sage. The sausage bits in the gravy were gristle-free and created a pleasant texture.
