Reviews for Starship Restaurant & Catering in Forest Park, IL
I have passed this place many times. I have even locked my bike up in front of it many times to go to the convenient store a... couple doors down. I have been wanting to check it out. Yesterday i went. Man am i glad i did. The food is really good andreasonably priced. Not only that the place is full of cool start trek memorabilia. I definitely love it and will be going back.The owner even told me a story about how he got sued by Paramount when the name was The Starship Enterprises Inc. Lol. Coolplace, cool people, cool local business owner. Follow my adventures on ebikes and electric unicycles and all kinds of coolplaces around the US on instagram @electricfaze4eva or on facebook.

Best sandwich shop in the Chicago area! Come for the subs, stay for the soup. I highly recommend the French onion soup but all... of their soups are great, make sure you get some to take home! Staff is really friendly too! Read more
Food is amazing. The only issue is we bought some frozen soups and so far the first one I tried was so salty I couldn't eat it.... I love my food on the salty side but it was inedible. Maybe just a measuring mistake. Sandwiches are great. Read more
First time here and it was great. The soups were fantastic, so many choices. Really like that they have soup to go too. The... sandwich's we're fresh and delicious. Will definitely be going back. Read more
The fries were delicious nice and crispy. The beef however was not as I thought it would be. It has a lot of fat and was sort of... rubbery. It has a nice flavor but probably wouldn't buy it again. I'm very picky about meat so maybe it was just me I don'tlike to eat fat or crissle. If you enjoy soup they have tons of different soups to buy which I plan to try on my next visit. The place is sort of old and could use a good cleaning but overall I'd go back to try the soup. Read more
Starship is this amazing little place that you could easily mistake for a little hole in the wall as you walk by. Some further... inspection will tell you it's a Star Trek themed sandwich joint, but the place needs no gimmicks. The sandwiches areconsistently wonderful, and their soups are impressive in both quality and quantity. Sandwiches come with homemade chips, andunless you're very hungry a typical 6" and chips could net you 1-2 meals. They use sesame seed loaves, and they don't skimp onmeat/toppings. Rounding out the experience, you have friendly and personable staff, and they bring your food out to you. Allin all, Starship is one of the top two reasons I find myself coming back to this area again and again (the other one beingJohnnie's), and even with a 40 minute hike the food always makes the journey worth it. Bottom line: fun vibe, great food, nicepeople. 5/5 do recommend. Read more
Fun sandwich place. Homemade potato chips. Since we were new in the neighborhood and just getting to know them they offered us a... bag of free chips homemade right there. And said we were free to sample things when we came in just let them know that we werenew. They have a great selection of soups and stews packaged in single serving containers for takeout. Very friendly place. Andas you can see from the pictures, starship decor on the walls. Next time I go I'm going to take home some soup or stew. Give ita try I'm sure you'll like it. Practically gourmet with really reasonable prices. Read more
Starship just celebrated its 45th anniversary and it was awesome ????. This restaurant makes some if THE best soups I have ever... had. And the Friday specials of a giant cod sandwich and New England clam chowder are truly lovely. Read more
