Service was very fast and friendly!! I got the Eggs on the Bayou and the eggs really were perfectly poached! I am very particular about my eggs so I was happy about that. The cheese grits were also very good! I came alone and felt very comfortable, it is a chill vibe. Would come again! read more

Long story short: Nice little breakfast spot with good service. We came right before 8am and were sat immediately. Our server was kind, but not overly friendly (I don't want a performance, you know?). And our food came out maybe 10 minutes after we ordered. We were early enough to order the Sunrise Special and the egg portions seemed surprisingly large! The grits were lovely. The bacon was not the best, it's thin cut (reminiscent of microwave bacon) and I prefer it to be thick. I ordered the eggs Benedict and really enjoyed it. The hollandaise could have had a touch more seasoning, but the texture was great. I actually preferred the Canadian bacon that came on it than the regular bacon that came with the Sunrise Special. It was perfectly salty and crisp. Oh! And it came with crab meat on it which was a special twist I didn't expect but really appreciated. The potatoes are cut into large chunks, but they are well seasoned and cooked nicely. I can't stand when a potato is undercooked, but this place didn't have that problem. And the cherry on top was the water. Florida locals may not be bothered by the ocean-y taste that comes with their drinking water, but for our family it is something that's hard to get past. We were pleasantly surprised to find that this water tasted as if it was filtered and the ice is that soft kind that's pleasant to chew. This might seem like a silly thing to add, but it really stood out to me and I'm grateful for it. read more

If you decide to busy for brunch, expect a wait. There are plenty of options on the menu and the prices were decent but the wait was long. By the time my food came out it was quite cold. The potatoes were well seasoned but the hollandaise sauce was bland. Overall a decent quick bite. read more

It was a beautiful day and we wanted to have brunch after spending the morning at the beach. The place was packed and had quite a line of customers waiting to be seated but we decided to wait. We were seated within maybe 20min after being 11th in line. The menu had a great selection of breakfast and lunch items that included pancakes, chicken and waffles, omelets, sandwiches and salads. Our server Selena was great-super friendly and attentive. She checked on us often enough just as our drinks got low and needed a refill. I had the turkey reuben sandwich with a side of potato salad and it hit the spot. I was looking for something something somewhat healthy and savory and tangy and the sandwich and salad satisfied. Although we did have quite a bit of wait for our food it was expected, especially with the number of customers out enjoying the beautiful day read more

I feel like their food could be more fresh. It taste microwavable a lot of it did and their coffee was really awful. They didn't even have like variations of coffee like good ones. Just not good and I would like a Metro diner over here. read more

My family of 18 (extended and immediate members) were camping at Fort Clinch and decided to stop by on a rainy day since we couldn't cook at our campsite. We were seated right away. The servers were friendly and very attentive. We were all spread out among different booths. They did a great job with the getting all the checks correct. The food came out super fast and everyone said how delicious it was. Everyone was so impressed with the restaurant! read more

This place was a pleasant surprise! Our waitress was nice and helpful and the food was SO GOOD. My toddler cleared her entire breakfast plate and the portions are not small. Nice healthy options. read more

Had the shrimp lunch special - which I recommend as Fernandina beach has an active shrimp fleet! So it will be fresh! Service was okay- we had to ask for utensils but the coffee was replenished without asking! It was clean and nicely decorated: police patches from around the world were proudly displayed - we added ours! read more

Definitely a diner vibe going on. A little dark inside especially at breakfast time. They use real butter which was a great relief because no one wants grits with margarine. Speaking of grits, they were excellent. Prompt service but it was a little bit slow when I was there. Clean, decent prices and a nice breakfast menu. I plan to be back next time I am in town. read more

When traveling to a new location, it's good to know where the locals eat for the best dining experience. This was the case the with The Beach Diner. There was a good crowd here for breakfast. The decor is bright blue, yellow, white. It's warm with pop culture beach themed art on the walls. Even though it was busy, our service was quick, pleasant and the food came out very quickly. The menu features many options from standard breakfast fare to healthy or upscale. I ordered the vegetable omelette. Very good. The vegetables were fresh and crunchy. The peppers still held a bit of a bite. There was cheese inside and out and the salsa worked well as a topping. The hash browns were good as well as the toast. The coffee was very good. Bold and fresh as well. Very good breakfast stop if you're in Fernandina Beach. read more

Great food and service. Clean, busy place, with great breakfast and lunch options. My wife got the Mediterranean Salad and added a fistful of shrimp for just $3! The salad had a great collection of mixed greens, fresh cucumber, OK tomatoes, and a zingy dressing. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and tasty. I got the Turkey Rueben (sometimes referred to as a Rachel). It was also excellent, with flavorful turkey, tasty bread, and a nice combo of dressing and kraut. Our server checked in appropriately, and they use the table side card reader to make that process efficient. Great stop for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. read more

Came to pick up corned beef and cabbage dinner for St Patty's Day. It was one of the daily specials. The wait was long but well worth it. The corned beef was tender and delicious. Cabbage and sliced carrots equally delicious. Generous portions. Fairly priced. BTW, the restaurant was slammed for lunch but it seemed they were able to efficiently handle it. read more

We frequented this place for breakfast while staying in Fernandina Beach. It was always hopping for breakfast, but getting seated at the busiest times took usually a max of 15 minutes for 4 of us. As breakfast goes most everything was good. The Chicken Fried Chicken was a bit "chewy". The home fries are killer as was the huevos rancheros special!!! read more

Food was great. Service was excellent. Ambiance as diner as expectedSays I need more characters on this so here they are.

I ordered take out and I was definately surprised that my Reuben was not as expected. The meat was dry, I had asked for Rye bread (ended up with white bread) and really missed not having the sauce!! The bread was hard and very dry - I am going to try it again because I have heard great things about Beach Diner. read more

We brunch here twice during our 6 day stay. We were sat quickly. The waitress the first day was pleasant, efficient and friendly. The male one the 3nd time was efficient. Not as friendly. The food was amazing. Very generous portions so go hungry. We like to find local favorites. This is most definitely one. I highly recommend the Beach Diner. read more

This the go to Diner in Fernandina Beach. This visit I decided to step out of my comfort zone and ordered from the daily specials. I never go this far outta zone as I ordered the steak special but I was hungry and it sounded amazing. The steak had grilled onions and peppers, sides of mashed potato and green beans with a cornbread square. It was freakin amazing. I tad bit fatty, but Cleo was with me and she loved it also. We are always treated so warmly when we visit here and I can say I have never had a bad meal here. Just scrumptious read more

Can't beat the brunch here! It's always full, but also quick in spite of being busy. Their staff is good and the food is amazing!

Great breakfast spot! This is really the only true breakfast diner vibe that I have come across in amelia island. Other places are too fancy when I just want the traditional breakfast. This place is perfect. Nothing outstanding or that unique but very solid breakfast food. I will definitely be back. They are great at getting people in and out fast too. Waitress could have been friendlier but we went went it was very busy. read more

During a recent trip to Amelia Island, my friends and I decided to stop here for breakfast on our way back home. I had previously read a few reviews of how good the food and service was so we decided to try it out and must say I'm glad we did! The diner was packed but there was plenty of free parking so that was a plus. I was expecting there to be a bit of a wait once we got inside since there were a lot of cars in the parking lot but we were greeted by a really nice lady and seated within a couple of minutes. The diner had your standard seating areas full of booths, a covered patio area with tables, and a pretty big bar area with several high top tables. Basic decor with no frills but plenty of simplicity. Our waitress came right after we sat down and had a bubbly spirit and huge smile. She took our drink orders and gave us time to look over the menu. Once she came back, she answered a few questions my friends had about the food and we placed our order. The food came out piping hot within 10 minutes, maybe less, and looked delicious. I opted for this breakfast scramble with eggs, cheese, ham, onions, peppers, and mushrooms in pita bread and decided on grits for the side. My meal was delicious and filling! The scramble had the right mix of veggies and ham and the grits were buttery and good. If you're lookin for a place with good breakfast and service with a smile, you should definitely try Beach Diner! read more

I didn't get asked for a name on my take out order. Got a bunch of sauces I didn't ask for but received none of the condiments that ordered including the Aujus for my French Dip. I eat here once a week give or take and it has been a trend the last several times I have been in. read more

Cute local diner in Fernandina/Amelia next to the CVS off Sadler. Booths and diner vibe abound. Even on a weekday the diner was hoppin at 9am, super busy but we didn't have a wait find a party of three. Our server was prompt and friendly helping us navigate the large number of breakfast options. Bellies beware, the short stack pancakes are as big as a plate. You really don't need to order extras. The home fries are a large seasoned roast potato style. The syrup was kindly delivered in individual containers so you don't have to wonder which snotty kid or gross adult was slurping out of the ones on the table (I'm lookin at you house of pan-whatever). The pancakes were fresh, and the bacon was crisp to perfection. read more

Oh man, kinda glad I don't live around AI because I'd be at this diner all the time! Breakfast food perfection!! We visited twice on our recent trip. The portions are huge and food quality is excellent. My breakfast sandwich was phenomenal, the avocado was perfectly ripe and complimented the eggs. The true star of the meal was the home fries, just perfectly crispy yet tender and seasoned so well! Such a simple item but says a lot about the restaurant's skill. Service was pretty good as it was busy both times we went but staff were hustling! We waited about 5 minutes for a table during peak breakfast times. The restaurant definitely has a beach and lively vibe. Bathrooms were clean. Everyone in our family had good memories leaving this place! Good value for the money. Next time we're in town this is a must visit. read more

After 4 days of camp food I was ready to be served good coffee and a nice hot breakfast! Beach Diner didn't disappoint. I had the Sunrise special with added onions, bell peppers and cheese, it was a lot of food and delicious. My server was on point and kept my coffee cup filled The restaurant has a beach decor so arriving in my shorts and flip flops fit right in. The space is open and airy and they have plexiglass to separate booths and distanced chairs at the eat in counter. If you're in the Fernandina or Amelia Island area I highly recommend a visit for breakfast. They're open 6am - 2pm and have a wide variety of items on the menus read more

Very disappointing first time experience. The food is less than average. The server sat us at a very dimly lit section of the restaurant. We asked to moved so we could have enough light to read the menu. (The strange thing was there was only one other person in the diner at 6:30a. So there was lots of seating available) Why she didn't ask up front where we would like seat is a mystery. Bottom line the food and service was not great. Would not recommend! read more
