Ever wonder what an episode of Friends would look like if all of the characters were jaded hipsters with star tattoos on their elbows and Central Perk were a filthy restaurant in a roadside motel? I would say Star Seeds Diner, but I remember a Friends episode where Chandler was actually served a cup of coffee.
I entered Star Seeds with low expectations and left with a sense of bitter resentment for anyone whose hair conceals an entire half of their face. The hour I waited for my food here one Saturday morning revealed to me one thing that the impassioned emo scenester is not in love with: customer service. Although eavesdropping on several conversations revolving around a universal hatred of parents was good for a laugh and the music playing on the PA reminded me to fix the brakes on my car, I left Star Seeds before being served. I’m sure a set of sentimental lyrics owe their existence to the incident.

I’m glad you finally found a medium to serve (no pun intended) that shitty resturaunt. I was there that morning. Place sucks.
Don’t let your low self-esteem color your restaurant reviews. You were clearly already biased against the place before you walked in. Hope you know this petty little review probably won’t do anything but keep bitter, loser squares like you away, which isn’t a bad thing.
I’ve lived in Austin all of my life, and I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve eaten at this establishment. I remember it like it was yesterday… strolling in at the wee hours of the morning, it’s so dark inside you can hardly read the menu, the music is so loud you can barely think, not to mention, you are more likely to get slapped in the back of the head by the wait staff than you are to get a straw for your drink.
All of this is okay though, because, your eyes hurt from the impending hangover, the music is awesome and should only be played loud, and surly service be damned, because it’s fast! Oh yeah, and the breakfast taco that takes up your entire plate that is $1.50, and it’s goooooooood.
Somewhere over the past few years, what I call the “Yuppie Influx”, StarSeeds changed… It was progressive… they installed lightblubs. They found the volume button on the stereo. Then, they… CLEANED. and DUSTED. WTF? The menu is almost completely different now, and it’s CRAP. Expensive frou-frou CRAP. Since fucking when does adding the suffix of “Chipotle” mean you can add $5 to a dish? Since fucking when does StarSeeds have a concept of “Chipotle”?!
So long, fair StarSeeds. Another one bites the dust.
yeah. fuck all the scenester hip fucktards, and also the yuppie fuckheads.
