We have only ever been here for breakfast or lunch. Always happy. Tonight we went for dinner. BETH our server was amazing! She is a star for this diner!!! Both my husband and I had pasta dinners. Appetizer of calamari was not great but the marinara it came with was very good. Salads came out fresh and cold. I had the chicken Florentine. It came with 2 large pieces of chicken breast served over fettuccine pasta with a lemon and spinach sauce. The pasta was slightly overlooked ( it should be al dente). Husband had a chicken, sausage, shrimp, broccoli pasta dish served with penne over a cream sauce. The food here is enough to take home for another meal. Breakfast served all day, sandwiches and wraps as expected from a diner. Greek specialities as well and always about 6 dinner specials. It's clean, well staffed and Florida cute ambiance. read more

The food selection is super. Each visit, the food is consistently prepared, quality is excellent and price is right. The servers are always pleasant, smile, and very friendly. Most of the servers are willing to have a conversation with us. The atmosphere is bright, clean and well kept. We prefer outdoor seating which is a great option for us. Thank you Key West Diner staff for all you do right!!! Ida L read more

I've been a regular customer at Key West Diner for several years. I have a late breakfast 3 or 4 times a week there. I've been ordering the same thing for years. Two eggs, sausage links, home fries. It's always been good, but the last time I went, the sausage had a peculiar taste and I couldn't eat it. I sent it back and got some bacon. Worried that the restaurant had changed to a different brand of sausage, I called and spoke to the manager about it. It was a friendly, cordial conversation. He assured me that it was the same sausage he's been using for many years. Ok, fine I said. I guess it was an anomaly that one time. Today, I ordered my usual breakfast and the first sausage was good and tasted normal, but the second sausage had that strange taste again. I asked my waitress if I could speak to the manager. I just wanted to let him know so he could look into it. I saw her go up to the manager and whisper in his ear and he looked across the room at me. And then he walked down the other side of the restaurant and never came to my table. I waited and waited but apparently the manager had decided he didn't want to hear what I had to say, or offer any customer interaction. I looked over at the kitchen and he was standing there just looking in my direction, but he never came over. I finally gave up waiting for him and went to the register to pay my bill. My waitress was the one at the register and she apologized for the manager not coming to my table. She said "I'll let him know you're not happy". I told her that I will not be coming back. Yes, I'm giving up one of my favorite restaurants that was several miles away from my home, but I refuse to be ignored by the manager when all I wanted to do is help him. On another note, the waitresses have always been superb and friendly. I'll miss them. I've literally spent thousands of dollars at Key West Diner and this is the first time I have ever asked to speak to the manager there. I think it absolutely wrong for the manager to ignore me like he did. Fortunately, there are many other good restaurants who serve breakfast. read more

Ok I am going to say these grits are my favorite of ALL TIME! Creamy, smooth, hint of butter and salt...absolute perfection! I love this restaurant! Wait staff is superb! Food is fresh, hot and how you like it. Will be back very soon! read more

Best Philly mushroom cheese steak sandwich in this area. (I should know...I lived in Philly for 14 years!) Also, loved their onion rings. They're made from scratch, dipped in batter, perfectly fried. My sister and I have never had a poor meal there. It's our "go-to" for lunch. read more

I went to have have lunch with my family and service dog. I was told that I needed to provide documentation in order for my dog to be with me. I asked for the manager and he told me I should just print a fake card from online. I actually do have documentation and proved my point which is illegal for him to ask and left. He was very rude and told me he could refuse service to whoever he wanted. I said so you are refusing service based on a disability and he said yes! Under Florida law and the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), people with disabilities can bring their service animals to all "public accommodations," such as: restaurants. This place really doesn't follow Disability laws and discriminates against them! read more

You gotta try this place !!! Great portions and good food with a key west vibe. This place has great customer service. My favorite for breakfast is the the country fried steak with their grits , yummy. Also, for lunch the Gyro is delicious as well. read more

Showed up at 7:25 after a 12 hour day and no meals in me. They refused to seat me because they were going to close early. Business hours are business hours. Don't say you are open until 8 when you are going to stop serving at 7:25. I had been here a number of times and recommended it to a number of people visiting from out of town. I won't be back and I won't recommend in the future since I don't know what I could count on. read more

Had to create an Yelp to warn people to not come here!! The server Victoria let us know some dirt about the kitchen and the cooks and never again will we come back. After the server told us she was "on her period and to give her a break if she messes things up." LAST THING I WANT TO HEAR BEFORE I EAT! When I asked for recommendations on food all she could tell us is things she didn't recommended like the soup, fries, and she warned us away from the salads. The management let our server walk around on her phone when we needed her and she kept rolling her eyes when we asked her for things. If you come to this place! DONT ASK FOR VICTORIA! She bragged about dating the boss or something like that, we don't need to know this. read more

The best way for me to describe the Key West Diner is this: Picture Brooklyn, NY in the late 70's. An Italian American, born and raised in NY, visits Key West for a week long stint. He then decides to meld his homestyle flavors with a tropical paradise atmosphere in his hometown of Brooklyn. What you get is the Key West Diner! Now many of the above key words resonate with me, i.e. Brooklyn, Italian, tropical paradise. All that said, Key West Diner is located on US1 in my hometown. The inside decor serves as an island oasis, while the menu dishes up diner classics, breakfast staples, and Italian/Greek influences. Right up my alley! Our service was 5 stars from beginning to end. It was apparent we had a service industry veteran who understood the value in filling up our coffees six times! Brunching for us five only ran us $50 plus tip. Of course I ordered off their special menu. The Steak Benedict did not disappoint. Overall, the steak was cooked to my request. The one qualm I had were the first two bites, which were extremely fatty. Luckily, the rest of the steak was to my liking. The accompanying home fries were just like the ones I remember from New York diners. Crisp edges, yet still tender in the center! I visit Jensen Beach a few times a year. It's crazy to see which businesses are open from my childhood and which ones have closed. Key West Diner will prosper for years due to their hospitality, affordability and satisfying menu. Totes recommend, Jensen Beachers! read more

Got together with some friends and the food was excellent. Went back a second time and it was just as good. Diner atmosphere. Employees were pleasant. Would definitely go again read more

I am a grits fanatic. This dinner has the some of the best grits around. If you love them get the bowl with over easy eggs. Great service.

AMAZING CHIPPED BEEF !!!!!!!!! Finally a place to come and enjoy some amazing breakfast! Only reason put 4 stars is because the waitress didn't know home fries or grits came with it, and since it was our first time here we didn't either and she never cared to go and find out. I told the lady when checking out, she said she was new, hopefully she now knows to ASK if there's something she doesn't know! read more

Key West Diner - Chipped beef - Diners Near Me - Stuart, Florida

Came to eat breakfast with my family, server was in a rush asking me what all I wanted but interrupting every time I spoke. My grandmother wanted biscuits and gravy as well as my aunt and she didn't ask whether they would have liked a half or a full order, she just assumed. So when I mentioned it to her she yelled it's not my job to ask what size you want. So I got the hungry man and ask how much it would be to upgrade to banana pancakes and she said she would have to check and see, instead of going to find out she just put the order in without coming back with a price. Breakfast was over $50 for 3 people. My family was not pleased with the diner or service. We won't be back. read more

My mom & I came here when our go to breakfast spot was too full. We were seated at a back table like we asked - away from people. The staff was great- our waitress Dory was lovely, but not wearing masks :( We ordered off the daily special menu - my mom got the bagel & lox & I got the crab cake eggs Benedict. The bagel & lox was ok - hard to screw up right? My crab cake eggs Benedict was pretty terrible. Drenched in poor quality sauce, the crab cakes were clearly not fresh. I only ate half & our lovely waitress Dory offered to replace mine because it wasn't good. I got the 3 stack of blueberry pancakes and WOW! Order the pancakes! Will return for the pancakes! read more

Overall food is decent. However, "on the weekend" don't be a single diner and let them seat you at a table. How dare you finish your meal and sit for an additional 10-15 mins to let your food digest and finish your drink reading. They come and ask you to "in the future sit at the counter if you're going to read..."because finishing your drink isn't part of your meal, "so other parties that come dont have to wait in line for an hour." No but the "parties" can eat their meal and talk for an hour with unlimited drink refills and they don't get asked to leave or move. read more

Husband ordered eggs up, with strict instructions of very soft and no brown edges at all. This is the first place in YEARS that the eggs came out PERFECTLY!!! Kudos to Audrey, our server and the cook she spoke to!!! We will definitely be back for breakfast! I had the gyro omelet and it was fantastic. We each had grits as a side. Fantastic tasting grits!!! read more

This place is the most consistent restaurant in town . The food is always delicious, and the employees are always so nice . Good portions, great prices , you will never go wrong stopping in here. My go to place when I'm hungry and cannot decide what I want ! Great job team Key west! read more

If you want a little bit of heaven in the morning start your day with the best French toast this side of Paris. I'm saying my taste buds are no longer buds since I failed to find this place sooner. Delicious! My wife likes scrambled eggs with a piece of my slasher and grits. Friends say the Key West omelet is the beez knees. Everything is awesomely delicious so go here and do yourself a flavor. read more

Pleasantly surprised with Tuesday night chicken pot pie and chicken tortilla soup. Went back a week later and they were already sold out of pot pies. Will have to go earlier next time. Salad was fresh. read more

The food is terrible and bland. Tried calling in a takeout order and the phone was busy for nearly 45 minutes. I drove over and while ordering asked them why the phone was busy because it's obvious the place is dead. I look down at the phone and it's off the hook. Hostess just looks at the phone and places it back on the cradle. read more

Very disappointed, every time I come in here I am looking to get my favorite dish with avocado toast and everytime I am let down they are always out of avocados. it's on the menu if there are never going to have them then they should take it off the menu. DO BETTER!! read more

Best patty melt and French fries! Service was fast and food was fresh. Our waiter was so kind and we can't wait to come back!

Excellent diner breakfast food. Consistently good, hot & fast. Service efficient & friendly. We had our breakfast outside early enough so that it wasn't too unpleasant. It's nice that they have outdoor seating to keep those at higher risk (COVID) safer. I love their pancakes (the hungry man is a great deal) & the fact that they serve their syrup warm. Thank you ! read more

Extremely average food. With so many great eat spots in the area you can skip this one. Went about 6:00 on a Sunday night and about 4 tables filled. Waited way too long to be greeted by waitress. Husband ordered a chicken sandwich, and I ordered eggplant parm. She then tells us they NO chicken or turkey at all. He ended up with pancakes. Eggplant was very ok, and pasta was overcooked. Portion was a good size. Prices are what they are.... read more

Food and service is good. Usually, we eat their burgers which is really delicious. We tried the prime rib dinner which we had on a special before. Well, it's no longer a special but we ordered it anyway. Never again! Disappointing! read more

Come for breakfast They were busy but we were seated quickly our order was taken quickly and the order came out perfect and delicious The waitress was beyond sweet and polite Will definitely come back! read more

Been coming here religiously for over six months for Sunday dinner with some friends. Like a way to end the weekend before starting the week. Food is always good. Wait staff friendly. Reasonably priced. We look forward to our Sunday night meeting here. read more

Although the food is good. Every time I come I ask for gluten free choices. Still nothing. Disappointing they have no gotten with the times of providing these options for people. This limits what I can eat and a lot of other people. Also, no flavored coffee creamers. Again a request I keep asking for. Other breakfast places has these choices so I guess I won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

This place is clean and the food is always great. Great service as well. We have eaten almost everything on the menu over the past 10 years and it has always been great! read more

The greeting staff was nice and polite. The waitress was swift with taking my order and bringing my drink. Ordered a cheeseburger and French fries. The burger was overcooked, I asked for the fries to be cooked on the well-done side, they came out terrific. I was going from Vero Beach to home in Stuart. Had never been to this diner before. I can't imagine their would be any reason I would stop in again. read more

I'm so impressed by this diner. The service is always attentive and the food is very good. They actually have home fries that are seasoned perfectly and taste fantastic. Just give this place a shot. I'm sure you will enjoy. read more

Thank god for Key West Diner. This area is honestly hurting when it comes to food, and Key West Diner is the beacon when everything is feeling "blah". When I don't feel like going to a "chain" place, or spending a bunch of money, or trying something different and possibly being let down, I just come here. They have the best hours to food to staff to price to parking to seating ratio lol I know you know what I mean!!!! The food is always fresh and never greasy and heavy feeling. I have been coming here for years, ordered a ton of different things, and never once been disappointed. I sometimes imagine myself in the future being like 80 years old sitting in this place eating a Hungry Man Special lol Tonight I went in and the staff was so nice. This place knows how to hire great people. My girl and I love to come here and watch the fail videos on chive TV. It's great memories hanging out in a diner like this laughing over some pancakes. Thank you for years of consistently delicious meals KWD! read more

We stopped in for breakfast for the 1st time, Excellent staff, Very friendly, clean restrooms. The price was very good, The food was very good and fresh and hot, Will be back read more

They charge for coffee refills after one refill in their small mugs which costs $2.25 plus tax. Not written anywhere on the menu or special menus either. It should be written everywhere so the consumer is aware. It is only on a white board in the corner by the cash regIster, which is very hidden and I didn't see it until the cashier pointed to it when I paid. She said they don't have the money to redo their menus. I told her I owned a restaurant and you slap a label at the top of the breakfast section and write it on there. You also write it on the specials menu if you can't reprint it from the computer. I would rather they raise the initial price for their coffee than be sneaky. It is the principle of the matter. There are countless amazing places in Stuart and Jensen Beach to have breakfast that do NOT do this. It isn't like the food and service are so amazing that I can allow this huge issue to slide. The coffee isnt special; probably a generic brand. I just needed the caffeine. Needless to say, my last time frequenting this establishment. read more

Bad experience. Food had a rancid or spoiled taste. Are maybe a quarter of it, but it was just awful. Waitress said she could remake it, get me something else or take it off the bill. Since my husband was finished (and frankly my appetite was ruined) we just asked for the bill. My order was still charged and the fill -in manager (looked like he was the cook) was rude and dismissive and told us not to come back! Over $10? Just thought people should know that this was a very unpleasant experience and perhaps the REAL manager or owner should have his employees on the same page when dealing with problems like this. read more

Anything I say would not be enough for this place. It is rare when you find a place with excellent staff and excellent food in abundance but this is the place. Our waitress was great, outgoing and felt like an old friend. When she was busy there was another waitress waiting on the customers on the other side of the booths who ensured our tea glasses were never empty. That shows to me that management selects the best and hires them and then fosters an atmosphere of teamwork and customer service. Now to the food. Well, there is only one thing to say about the food. It was perfect. Cooked correctly, tasty and abundant. Yes it is diner food, but it was better than most. Try this place, you will like it. read more

I have a Service Dog (small) who detects serious food allergies and my husband is handicapped. The gentleman refused to seat us with her. He refused to look at her ID. He was rude and would not give his name. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone! I gave it one star only because 0 isn't available read more
