Jack's Diner is a longstanding, solid go-to in Hollywood/Hallandale Beach, Florida with excellent 24-hour food and service. Karina was our server today and she was extraordinarily personable and funny. She even offered to flip a coin for me to decide between their Reuben and Eggs Benedict, both of which I highly recommend. 5 out of 5 star experience as per usual. Thank you! read more

I really enjoy coming to this diner or ordering takeout. The food is consistent and made to order. Even if they get something incorrect they are quick to fix it. I love that breakfast is at anytime especially breakfast tastes even better at night. I've only been late at night so I've only sat at the counter near the drinks and where the food comes out. It's not noisy and there's a tv. If you are ever in the area I would highly recommend. read more

I stopped in here over the holidays for a hangover remedy. The hostess was polite and directed me to the bar. The waitress was efficient and the food came out fast. Overall, everything lacked seasoning and flavor. I had very high hopes, but unfortunately I was disappointed. Also, the staff seemed very overwhelmed and the place wasn't even packed. I saw several servers yelling at the cooks. The service was okay. Nothing to rave about. The waitress on break sitting next to me ordered a waffle and it looked and smelled delicious. I had order regrets. The ambience is standard diner. It was expensive, so it's unlikely I'll return. read more

There's a guy that works there named Lee he is the cook i only enjoy the food when he makes it and I swear he lives there he's hardly ever not there lol but seriously best cook hands down read more

My husband and I ate here and although my expectations were really high unfortunately it was a letdown for both of us. To start with the positive, the servers were very nice although our original server did disappear for awhile after giving us menus. There were only 3 other tables occupied when we were there and she wasn't with any of them so not sure what happened with her. I ordered the eggs Benedict with hash browns and my husband ordered a pastrami sandwich with fries. The food came out within a reasonable time. My eggs Benedict were average, nothing great and the sauce was very thick and the English muffin overcooked so much so that I had a hard time even cutting into it. I couldn't eat the hash browns because of the old oil taste. Not a pleasant taste at all. My husband didn't enjoy his pastrami much at all. They toasted the rye bread making it hard and the meat tasted like it waspackaged pastrami from a grocery store or something and his fries had that same old oil taste to it. Sadly this is definitely a one and done for me but I was glad to have finally tried it after driving past it for years and wondering how it was. read more

When you're ready for brunch, you're always craving a classic diner with good food. Jack's looks like that diner and has delicious food with friendly and attentive staff. It's also super cute inside. Anytime we visit Dania; we come here with my in laws. My in laws and husband love to get breakfast there. They have had pancakes, omelets, home fries and toast. They always love it. I really loved the burger and fries that I got. They were so good. read more

Fast food and amazing customer service from Korinna! I asked for a soft scramble and that's EXACTLY what I got. My hubby and I love it here. We will always come back! Highly recommended. read more

Decent diner with classic breakfast options. I visited with a group of six, including two kids, on a weekend. There was a mix of tourists and locals enjoying a meal. We had to wait for a table, which is understandable, but the staff would loudly complain about how tables would not leave. Once seated, we were quickly helped and served. Although the menu is large, there aren't many options with vegetables. When asking the staff for their recommendations, we were bluntly told "everything is good." I ended up ordering an omelet, which was just okay. We added hot sauce and black pepper to almost all of our entrees. Nonetheless, the kids enjoyed their eggs and waffles. Prices here are decent, not extremely low or high, but comparable to other diners and casual breakfast spots. read more

We went to Jack's Hollywood Diner after reading the reviews on Yelp. The diner has a classic look both inside and out, and the atmosphere really delivers that old-school diner feel. Unfortunately, the food itself was average. With so many great breakfast spots in the area, they really need to step it up. Our food came out bland and greasy, which was disappointing. That said, the service and atmosphere were the highlights. The waitress was excellent at her job--warm, attentive, and clearly loved by the regulars. She hugged her older customers who came in every day and made sure they were especially well taken care of. I absolutely loved seeing that kind of genuine care and connection between her and the customers. read more

Fastest service ever. Lulu and the other servers were all friendly and attentive. The food was light and delicious. The free refill on the coffee is perfect. The place is very clean and perfectly located next to the bus stop which goes straight to Ft Lauderdale airport. There is enough space in the back section of the restaurant to store luggage and there is also an outlet to charge the phone while I eat == FANTASTIC. The place is quite open with a view of the bustling street outside. I highly recommend !! read more

We had an errand to run nearby on a Saturday morning, so we stopped by Jack's afterwards. This place is a quintessential diner! It's really large - there is an addition to the original diner. It's quite dingy inside - I have a pretty low bar for stuff like that, but it could use a just a little upgrade! Regardless, there was no wait, so we were seated right away! The menu is huge and filled with diner classics. We opted for the corned beef hash and the French connection. The food was good. It's a diner, so it just has to be filling and comforting. I was regretting ordering the French connection just because the pancake / bread combo was SUPER filling... I managed to eat about 1/4 of the dish before hitting my limit! The service started off friendly enough but then deteriorated. It turned basic and then very, very slow. There was a server circulating with coffee for refills and she seemed to be avoiding our table. I get super twitchy when the coffee levels get too low! All in all, it fit the bill... great spot if you live nearby! read more

Stopped here with my family on a whim, food was delicious and our waitress Karina was attentive and friendly ! We will be back

I've had an annoyance with certain restaurants on how they made their French toast for a few weeks now. I visited Jack's Hollywood Diner last night to see if their French toast is as good as I remembered it being a few years back. There were a few people dining inside when I entered the restaurant. I greeted an employee and placed an order for the super French toast which was served with any style eggs (scrambled), Canadian bacon, one sausage link (omitted), and two strips of bacon. As soon as I received my food, I jumped into my vehicle and hurried home so I could feast on my late night breakfast. Once settled at home, I immediately ate the strips of bacon and the Canadian bacon which was tasty. Next I ate the scrambled eggs which was cooked nicely. Added a bit of salt and pepper for flavor. After a couple of bites of the French toast, I immediately realized that it did not taste as good as it did a few years back. Looking more closely, I noticed the bread didn't have an egg batter coating. It was just bread cooked on the griddle. It had such a dry chewy texture that I only managed to eat two slices. This is the third restaurant where I noticed their French toast is not coated in egg batter, but is cooked on the griddle nonetheless. Could the price increase of eggs be the reason? I can't do this anymore and I will not be spending any more money on "eggless French toast". read more

We went to Jack's for dinner. The food was delicious, sorry no pic. There were 3 of us. We had liver and onions, turkey club and grilled chicken. The side salads were huge and delicious. The cup of chicken noodle soup was great. The waitress kitty was spectacular. She showed us a bowl of soup and said it would be so big with what we ordered so we took her advice and got a cup. Their mashed potatoes were great and their rice pudding with real whipped cream was outstanding!!! Kitty was sweet and so funny. She was so good at her job! the prices are right, portions big, every night they have a different special and a different soup of the day. Awesome diner!!! read more

We were staying on Hollywood Beach and didn't want to start our day with a typical hotel breakfast, so we took the short 10-minute drive to Jack's. If you're looking for a no-frills spot that feels like stepping back into a simpler time, this diner hits the mark. Convenient parking on the side and in back was a good sign. First impression through the door: classic diner charm. The decor is simple but comforting, and the steady hum of conversation from locals who clearly come here often adds to the warm, lived-in feel. Our booth table had a little wobble to it--just enough to remind you this is a real diner, not a polished chain. The menu is packed with the comfort food classics you actually want. I went for the "Bagel All the Way," which the menu describes modestly: four slices of lox, two slices of tomato, three slices of cucumber, one slice of red onion, two pepperoncinis, and black olives served on a bed of lettuce. The menu must have been written by the attorneys setting a low bar--because what arrived exceeded every expectation. The plate was generous, fresh, and well-presented. Bagel options were somewhat limited but decent, and the double side of cream cheese (not even listed on the menu) was a pleasant surprise. Portions are generous--no tiny plates or fussy garnishes here--and the prices are fair for the quality ingredients and hearty servings. The decaf coffee was hot, and magically never empty, thanks to servers who move with practiced ease, calling you "love" as they refill your cup with a smile. It's the kind of place where everyone feels comfortable--families, retirees, and plenty of solo diners. You can grab a quick bite or linger for a while (though expect about a 45-minute limit during season). Want longer go to Starbucks. No pretense, no trends--just solid food, friendly service, and a welcoming, old-school vibe. Jack's doesn't try to be anything fancy, and that's exactly what makes it great. read more

The food and service is always really great. My server Mac was really professional and on top of everything. I didn't have to ask for any condiments or refills, she just anticipated everything even though it was pretty busy. I will definitely be back! read more

This was the go to place for me. I'm a breakfast at all hours of the night guy... The food taste is still good and the staff is still great, however, the home fried potatoes have gone away and the artificial deep fried "potatoes" has taken its place. This for me is an indication that what else are they skimping on....sad.....sad...sad... read more

Another brunch spot that we found by luck. Albeit great reviews on Yelp but you never know. It doesn't feel like an old school diner, it IS an old school diner and has all the same charm. We've eaten multiple times since and have not had a single bad item. That aside, the pricing is fantastic. Feels like what we should be paying for things today without all the inflated prices you see at most restaurants. Our servers were great and helped us along the way. Our food fantastic. In particular, I like to get the eggs Benedict. They come out perfectly cooked with a fantastic hollandaise sauce. Overall I highly recommend this spot. read more

Jack's Diner in Hollywood, Florida, is a charming throwback to classic American diners, offering hearty comfort food, friendly service, and a nostalgic ambiance that feels like stepping back in time. Located on Federal Highway just South of Hollywood Boulevard and walking distance to the Newly Built "Federal Spa" scheduled to open in the spring of 2025. While this restaurant offers a cozy, no-frills dining experience it does keep regulars coming back for years, namely me!!!! The ambiance at Jack's Diner is all about classic diner vibes. The retro décor, complete with red leather booths, checkered floors, and vintage posters, adds a nostalgic touch that immediately sets a welcoming tone. The servers are both friendly and hard working. Jack's Diner has a nice menu with an emphasis on breakfast and lunch favorites. The food at Jack's Diner is simple, comforting, and reliably tasty. The breakfasts are very good and I love the Breakfast wrap sandwiches. Lunch has great burgers and salads! While it's not gourmet, the quality of the food is excellent for the price, with a home-cooked feel. The portions are a good size, so you will get your money's worth, and there's something comforting about knowing you can always count on a good meal here. read more

This place is great if you're looking for a nice Denny option. The best part is open 24 hours. Remember running to a restaurant at 2am and then going back to the disco? If you do then this place will bring back memories. Prices are reasonable, food quality is what you would expect (good to very good depending on what you choose) and a huge surprise: they offer valet parking (how crazy is that?) The bathroom looks like you just visited a jail. Service was above average and the friendliness was as well. read more

I stumbled across this hidden gem while looking for brunch near my stay. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted and allowed to choose my seat. Krystal, my server, was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the 'Your Healthy Choice Omelet' with home fries and added a bagel with cream cheese on the side. Everything was delicious and served hot. I'll definitely be coming back especially now that I know they're open 24 hours and offer such a wide variety of menu items. read more

I am 84 years old and very frail. Twice a month I have lunch with my family. We always have it delivered because my Mobility is quite impaired. On June 13th we ordered our food from Jack's Hollywood Diner because I had a strong craving for liver and onions. I ordered it medium rare with a baked potato and coleslaw, and it was perfect. It was so good that I ordered it again on July 18th. What I got I wouldn't feed to a dog. It was overcooked to the point of being inedible, and I had to discard it. The french fries and coleslaw we're okay, but the liver and onions turned out to be petrified garbage. Just on the basis of my first experience, I will try it again just to see which one was a fluke. read more

Drove past this place for decades. Finally stopped in and wished we hadn't. Too bad, as I love a good diner, but this was not one.

They need to hire nicer servers. We were insulted by a waitress and her attitude. We asked her.to behave nicer and she told us she was never told before that she was rude. Another diner came to our table to thank us for pointing out this incongruity. This was a week after two waitresses had a high volume conversation across the length of the whole establishment. Since the new owners, it's gone straight downhill. Avoid if possible. read more
