My dad and I were in town for Spring training. The day we were flying out we just needed to have a quick lunch near the airport. I searched for reviews on Yelp, and it did not disappoint. Dontee's Diner is an unassuming building in a strip mall shopping area. Inside there is an old school counter and then a smattering of booths and tables. They have typical diner fare, with an extensive breakfast and lunch menu. The service was fast and our food got to us quickly. The portions were large, the food was delicious, and the prices were modest. My only regret is that I was there during lent and had given up sweets so I couldn't try one of their pies. read more

I started my Easter Sunday at Dontee's and so did many others! It is obviously well loved b/c they never disappoint. I had my usual--corned beef hash, grits, eggs and raisin toast. I love the service and the straightforwardness of the diner. Service is always fantastic (this time I sat at the breakfast counter). It was quiet, pleasant and active. I even had a great convo with a nice person sitting next to me at the counter. Can't wait till the next relaxing moment I can enjoy breakfast at Dontee's. The food their reminds me of my childhood. Another review giving it to you straight, no chaser! Enjoy! read more

Dontee's Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

Dontee's Diner is a great spot for a straightforward, no-nonsense breakfast. The place is clean, and service is quick and efficient, which makes it easy to relax and enjoy your meal. I had the pecan French toast with a side of two eggs and hashbrowns. The French toast was comforting and satisfying, with the pecans adding a nice bit of texture and flavor. The eggs were cooked just the way I ordered them, and the hashbrowns were a solid classic side--simple and done well. It feels like the kind of local diner people come back to because the basics are cooked right, the staff keeps things moving with a friendly attitude, and you know what to expect. read more

After arriving in Palm Beach early morning, Dontee's was our first stop to get some breakfast. It is only 7 minutes from PBI, a local favorite. When we arrived we saw many locals on the restaurant, having breakfast to start their day. The restaurant has high chairs by the kitchen, bunch of booths, and tables chairs. The menu has plenty of variety between breakfast and lunch items. I got the Rueben with side of two over medium eggs. Our food came out pretty quickly. Rueben was a good sandwich with perfectly toasted white bread and beautifully cooked eggs. The service was super friendly. It was wonderful to see how nicely they treat the regular locals, checking on every table time to time and refilling the empty coffee cups. read more

Excellent breakfast/lunch spot. Wonderful staff and great food! Huge selection on their menu. Busy, but always a seat!

My favorite family owned diner in the area. Howleys lost its soul. City became too political. Dontee's is just perfect. Warm. Friendly. Great food. The menu has improved with some very interesting and creative specials. The honey Brie omelette rocks. The simple stuff, like the coffee? Outstanding. Service is first rate. Parking is easy. A few minutes to PBI if you're on your on your way there from the East side. A diner omg! read more

3/26/25 Stopped by Dontee's for breakfast before catching my flight back home to Kansas City. I arrived around 9:40 a.m. and was in an Uber headed to PBI Airport by 10:22 a.m. to catch a 12:20 p.m. flight. The food portions were generous, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Guests came in, enjoyed their meals, and left without lingering. The restaurant was clean and well-kept. The only downside was that the bathroom was out of service. read more

Stopped here for breakfast with my family this morning and couldn't be happier with the food or the service. Our waitress was genuine yet professional and did an excellent job! The food itself was also very good. In all, we ordered the huevos rancheros special, custom omelette, Mediterranean wrap, and two kids plates. Great choices that left us full but not stuffed and didn't empty our wallet! Would eat here again. read more

Our go to local breakfast spot! Family owned and it shows- the service is always exceptional. We have been here countless times. The prices are too good and quality is on point. Always hot, fresh and delicious. If you get there before 11am on a weekday they do a breakfast special with two eggs, potatoes, toast and coffee for $7 unheard of. I've also had the chorizo scramble, the California breakfast melt, biscuits and gravy (biscuits aren't dry!!), and my husband likes to get the 2-2-2, which is also a killer deal and delish. The rye bread here is so good. Coffee is nothing to write home about but it's cozy nyc diner vibes, exceptional service and good food keeps us coming back. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

We were in west Palm on vacation and wanted breakfast or lunch. Dontee's had these awesome reviews and a ton of them. So we drove over. Big Sunday crowd so we were encouraged. What a disappointment we had. We should have known from the start. Wife really was hankering for pancakes or a waffle. Looked in the bowl of creamer, jelly, and stuff. Little tubs of fake "breakfast" syrup, basically high fructose corn syrup and fake flavorings. No respectable joint would serve that junk. We should have left but we're starving. I got crab cake Benedict. They are a favorite and usually get them when I see them. Waitress said they were great. The word is cake. Like a crab flavored 1/2 inch thick pancake. I saw just a few threads of crab, no seasoning, the rest was dry gummy filler. There was an off taste that my wife smelled from across the table. I've eaten hundreds of crab cakes in my years; these were the absolute worst I've ever tasted. The English muffin appeared to have been flattened, a lifeless shoe heel for a base. Poached eggs were way overcooked; one was hard like a boiled egg. The hollandaise was an awful lumpy texture and tasteless; no lemon at all. The hash browns were barely cooked, basically micro shredded rawish potato. One of the worst plates of food I've ever had. Amazing a place in Florida in biz for 37 years could get away with this on the menu. Wife ordered a Reuben sandwich. Lots of great delis in South Florida. High expectations. The sandwich came out and looked terrible. Expectation was it would be on large rye bread but it looked like storebought loaf bread. The corned beef looked like processed deli meat sliced razor thin. Just a few slices. A dab of kraut, a slice of cheese. It wasn't awful like the eggs, but was disappointing. The server was great. Attentive and fast. Took the eggs off the bill. Gave em an extra star for that. Place really deserved a 1. read more

I decided to try this diner for breakfast this morning while in West Palm Beach, FL. The waitress came over after I was sitting for approximately seven minutes and I ordered coffee. I looked at the menu and decided to try their French Toast (bad choice). When the waitress brought my French Toast to me, the plate had six halves of what might have been Texas Toast which smelled of being cooked with the potatoes on the grill. The smell was soooo strong that it totally turned me off to eating it. The waitress did come back to warm up my coffee, but never asked me if everything was good. I finished my coffee and paid my check and made a mental note not to ever come back to this restaurant ever again. read more

Sent to me by Yelp this morning . Decided to give it a try . It was 2 pm so we were surprised the lot was full. The menu was huge . I had the Dontee omelette with delicious home fries and a great biscuit . My friend had the chorizo skillet . Everything was delicious including the coffee which was refilled regularly. Nice diner, good food and service. We will be back. Thanks Yelp for the recommendation. read more

My favorite spot in Palm Beach County for breakfast and lunch. If they were open for dinner i'd com here for that too. Family owned and operated with a friendly staff and excellent service. They really make you feel at home every visit. Reasonably priced, fast, and awesome food. Great space with a hometown feel. You can't beat their $6.99 breakfast special. But my favorite will always be the Jersey Melt. The pork roll/taylor ham takes me back to my breakfasts growing up in Delaware. read more

I wanted to try a new eatery so I looked on Google & Yelp and Dontees came up with good reviews so I stopped by. I waited a few minutes and the nice lady at the cash register finally noticed me. She apologized & we sat down after some one did a quick table wipe. My waitress arrived a few minutes later I think she said her name was Jennifer. (I don't know she didn't introduce herself right away) took my order and then took the gentlemans order next to me & then she went over to the counter by the soda station for a few minutes writing something and then 10 minutes later she put our yellow tickets on the silver spin thing. After finally receiving my crabcake Benedict 30 minutes later, it was very good. I used to get it from Johnny Long boats but they always had too many cracked egg shells. I wish she would've checked to see if I needed anything right after I got my food. She waited to ask me when I was almost finished & I tried to make conversation with her but she was walking away, and when I mentioned I found them on Yelp she turned back towards me & perked up & was extremely friendly. She even pointed at the Owner that was there and told me it's a family business & her daughters were still working. A large party came in & I noticed her taking their orders and she put the yellow tickets up on that silver thing right away. So I was a little confused why it took her so long to put my ticket up and then it took 30 minutes for my food to come. That was an extremely long time for breakfast. I was concerned with the wait and I wish she would've let me know that my order was coming, instead of having me sit there, wondering what was taking so long. I asked for the check and she disappeared in the back by the kitchen for a few minutes not understanding why she just didn't pull my check out of her apron. The service was okay & the food was very good. But I won't be going back because of the mediocre service & the long wait for my food. read more

The food was great , but the way they handled the toast machine it's questionable. The waitress were very amiable.

Dontee's is so much different than your classic Florida restaurant. I'm so used to eating at restaurants where the appearance outperforms the actual food. On the other hand, Dontee's food tastes amazing, the service is fast, and it's such a cute diner. read more

Loved the service since the moment we walked I . Very friendly! Food came out fast and hot. There are so many great things on the menu I had difficulty choosing. They have a different special on the board every day, and this morning's breakfast special consisted of chocolate, red velvet pancakes, loaded hash omelet , and fish and grits. My grandson had the crabcake Benedict, which he found a little overpowering with some of the spices, so if you're sensitive to that, just keep that in mind. The sides include grits, oatmeal, hash browns toast, etc. I had the oatmeal before my avocado toast, and it was perfectly cooked and served with brown sugar and raisins. The coffee was hot and not too strong, which is exactly how I like it. When I checked in on yelp, I was offered a free, iced or hot coffee, and when I try to redeem, the waitress had no idea what to do. So we left without it. No big deal. They have a need a little bakery section too, with muffins, and some pies, which we did not get to enjoy. If you're new to the place, we just haven't tried it, we definitely recommend. read more

Stopped in for breakfast during a recent business trip and was super impressed. A totally OG, old school diner. The service was 10 out of 10, the omelette I ordered was one of the best I can remember, coffee was excellent- and although it was a busy breakfast hour the setting and noice level were such that we could have a great business conversation. Ambiance totally that of a true all-American diner. read more

Great service and food was good. Felt like a home cooking experience. Would def go back again.

Went to the Norton museum and worked up an appetite, so we had to find somewhere that would be quick and have a variety of things to eat. This was a short drive from the museum and we were sat immediately. Typical diner decor so very simple and casual and a wide variety of options on the menu. I was so hungry I wanted everything but settled on a western omelette and some pancakes. My daughter got chicken tenders which were delicious and everyone else at the table got breakfast which was all so good. Service was fast and friendly. The pancakes are so good!!!! They were my favorite thing on the menu because they almost didn't need syrup. They were just soo good!! read more

Your typical diner with regulars at the bar, coffee flowing, and friendly staff at every corner. Everything was clean and the food arrived quickly. They offer everything that an average diner offers but I felt the portions were on the small side. I ordered a ton of food and was surprised at the portion sizes. The prices are reasonable and comparable to other diners in the area. For a weekday between lunch and breakfast, the place was pretty packed but that didn't slow the service down. The food was all delicious, as expected. Eggs were cooked perfectly, hash browns were nice and crispy, and the pancakes were soft and puffy. The sausage seemed better than most diner sausage Pattie's even though they were on the small side. Overall, decent diner near our hotel that we will definitely come back to. read more

I wish I could write a review for everytime we've come to Dontee's and didn't write a review. We love this place, an understated gem in the neighborhood. I had the biscuits and gravy and my wife went with her favorite, the corned beef hash - always amazing! They always have specials and they get really creative. The service is amazing - sitting at the breakfast bar is fast and easy. Family owned and operated and you can tell! It's like going out for breakfast with friends every time you come in.

Been to Dontee's a few times. It's always a good meal at a decent price. The place was not overly crowded on this windy rainy Wednesday mornin, so getting a table was pretty easy. The special on the board seems to remain a constant, although the price has obviously changed times. Two eggs, potatoes and coffee $6.99. This morning I was feeling cheesy so I had the ham and cheese omlette with a side of fat sausage links and potatoes. All in all it was very good. I asked for extra cheese and shockingly there was extra cheese or a very noticeable amount of cheese. Most times when I ask for extra cheese at other restaurants it's never obviously there. My server was friendly and my coffee was refilled several times. All in all Dontee's is a good choice for a tasty breakfast any day of the week, but a windy, rainy day just makes it even tastier. read more
