Just came to the Mercedes location the workers were great I feel that there pay is too little on what they have to do they go inside charge but I can’t give them a tip cause I don’t have a option on the receipt another thing is notice that a lot of the items have gone up in price if your gonna increase the prices increase the workers pay as well I use to work in the progreso location and it hasn’t changed where you put the large pan of water you cook up the meat and you put the meat in the water and you leave it there until somebody orders the meals then you just reheat the meat and you sell it not fresh at all you guys need to change that method your gonna get somebody sick or killed from food poisoning this is why I don’t ever get any burgers from stars cause of the way you cook them and people who are gonna read this it is the truth and I have friends who work there as well and tell me the same thing

Had been craving Stars in Mercedes Texas for some time.... they usually do well with my food order, this time around was different.... they exceeded my expectations, thanks for the great food and wonderful service. I'll be coming back for sure! Prices have changed, but not just for Stars, ppl need to remember that.

Love the happy hour because the kids are always looking to try new slushies and drinks. Usually very busy but they do a really good job of attending everyone as quickly as possible. So many deals that one has to expect some type of delay and rarely dp they make mistakes on our orders. The drive-in is a dying breed but Stars does their best to keep the dream alive.

BURRITO WITH CHILI AND CHEESE! I prefer cheddar over American cheese but the empty paper tray said otherwise. with a Diet Coke of course. Someone add a tip option to these poor employees! No one has enough cash laying around in their console tray to leave these guys.
