Score
Across the available record, City Star Diner has 15 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. City Star Diner was last inspected on Mar 19, 2026. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around seven violations, down from roughly 15 violations earlier in the record.
When inspectors have written things up, “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” has been the most frequent reason, cited eight times.
City Star Diner's latest score of 86 sits above the Leesburg average of 75. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
