The cheery pink interior of Crest Cafe announces 1940s style, and the room bubbles with upbeat waiters and comfort food doled out on Fiestaware. The church pew-like booths are comfortable, but the small stucco room doesn't mask the near constant clang of plates. No matter: Burger-lovers will fall in love with the spicy, rich "butter burger" -- a dollop of herb butter is buried in the patty before cooking. The delicious East Texas-fried chicken breast crusted with hunks of jalapeño peppers is none too subtle either. A variety of sandwiches and salads, the steamed vegetable basket, and broiled chicken dishes are healthier options. A breakfast of omelets or crème brûlée French toast is a happy eye-opener.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
