Burger and fries
Connie T.

The. Burger amazing. Love the 50s diner feel and decorations. Sat at the counter and the staff were on point. Great Custer service and very friendly as well. You can tell they had lots of regular, which does not surprise me. Totally an amazing find. Ooh they are also k ow for their milkshake...

3.3. Server was excellent, super friendly and good. Food was just meh. Salad and Caesar wrap were dust okay. Nice old school diner ambiance/vibes.

Breakfast bliss!

Nick's is a nostalgic nook of comfort classics. Dig into perfectly cooked eggs and crispy hash browns served by a smiling server---you'll meet all employees as they greet, serve, refill coffee for every diner----they are not territorial! Enjoy the fifties music and leave filled!

Diner vibe. CHECK! This diner is a great stop for a classic diner meal. We had a great waitress who got right to the point, got our order in and food on the table. No frills. I had the patty melt. It was fantastic. Greasy, crispy, and cheesy! We tried an chocolate egg cream, which was just ok. Glad we tried!

I placed my order and 5 minutes later I was served. They asked me literally the moment I sat down if the could get me something to to drink. The waitress stopped to take my order. They must pool tips for everyone to give such excellent service. The diner has a 50's theme with neon lights. . There is a grey and red color theme through out. They even have a soda bar with stools. There was 50's music playing. It took me back to my childhood. I had the spinach and Swiss cheese omelet. There were at least three eggs. Wheat toast and hash browns. They offered to refill my coffee while delivering my tab. I have to remember this place. I will return.

Egg casserole

This place certainly is reminiscent of the diners I grew up going to up north- there are many options on the menu. Started with a warm biscuit served with butter- very good then settled on Eggs Benedict which was a special. Although the eggs weren't done to my liking (too well done) I'd definitely order the dish again - the English Muffin was toasted to perfection and the Home fries tasted fresh and crispy. Our server was very nice and the ambiance is festive like an old arcade.

I've been hunting down a dinner that did the Monte Cristo. The best versions look like a meat and jelly filled French toast that is fried to a golden goodness. When I found it on the menu I bookmarked this place to try it out. Lunch hours are busy. The parking lot requires some patience and there's a wait to order because so many call on orders and they attempt to get hot orders out quick. The venue is cute but not fully 50's (they accept credit cards). The service is pleasant enough and food plates are packed. I had a few options with sides but decided on fries since I would be mostly eating in traffic on way to a meeting. Fries were good but the the sandwich left a lot to ... it was dry but not crispy and no real favor. It lacked the sweet and lacked the savory. I found the meat too thick for the sandwich. It was a meaty basic sandwich. Coworkers that in plaza agreed. While the Monte Cristo fell short the patty melt with onion rings was so good we didn't even take pictures. Cheesy goodness that fits in your hand and thankfully they shared. I'd return for that now.

I come here almost everyday for either breakfast and or lunch and I'm never disappointed. Good food, good service and plenty of easy parking.

Chicken Salad

so this is a very cool looking diner, and the staff is pretty wonderful. There are two dining spaces, so even if there's a weight, it will be very short. The menu is pretty fast, the pictures and descriptions make everything sound amazing. I wish I could say the food matched the descriptions, but it was just OK. The dishes are definitely 50s era size, so don't expect huge portions. We tried a little bit of everything breakfast, and while nobody complained, I can't say it was exceptional.

The turkey wrap
Mike M.

Wow, this place has some ambience. As you walk in you definitely get the 50s diner look with neon signs and pictures of performers from the era like Elvis Presley. Came on a Sunday after church and the place was packed at 12 noon. We had to wait for a table about 15 minutes but that's not a problem. Our server was exactly what your picture of 50s style place. I ordered a tuna melt, which I hadn't seen on the menu in quite some time, with french fries well done. My wife ordered a turkey wrap also with french fries. My daughter spoke up and before I knew it we ordered a chocolate egg cream. This is a very unique soda fountain drink that they made quite regularly in the 50s. It was very unusual and good, but I wouldn't say exceptional. An older gentleman sitting next to us told us a story about drinking them when he was a boy in New York City. Very entertaining. Anyway, my food was served, and I have to say that the tuna was not only delicious. it was just the way I remember. My wife said that the turkey wrap was delicious and that the turkey was like fresh roasted turkey that they sliced and put on the wrap. The french fries were crisp and delicious and we had a wonderful time talking about Nick's diner.

Cool place for breakfast, prices reasonable, service quick. Do be aware gets busy during prime time. 50's vibe is ok.

It's not easy to find a good diner in South Florida, especially a 50's themed diner with the ambiance, food and service we found at Nick's. Parking was easy in the lot and we got seated immediately in a booth. Our server was friendly and both our coffee and food came out very quickly. The restaurant must have expanded because it has two sides both with 50's decorations and a counter on each side . I was happy with my half order of biscuits and gravy with a poached egg. The biscuits were homemade and the gravy had a lot of flavor. My friend ordered a breakfast casserole. She enjoyed it but could only eat half as it was a lot of food. Prices were fair for this area and we would come again when in the neighborhood.

Stopped in as a 3 for breakfast, while traveling North. Loved the retro decor and black-white floor tiles. Staff sat us right away and were very pleasant and stopped by many times to make sure we were satisfied. We ordered the Sloppy Tex Mex, Corned Beef hash with eggs over easy and Breakfast Casserole with Ham. Everything was hot, plentiful and delicious. Will definitely try and visit again when in the area. Enjoy!

I've eaten at Howley's Restaurant many times, and the food never disappoints. The chicken and…read morewaffles are some of the best around, the lasagna is fantastic, and the meatloaf and pot roast are pure comfort food done right. The place is a little funky--in the most charming way--with local art on the walls and a laid-back vibe. It's great food in a quirky setting, and honestly, there's a reason it's been open since the 1950s. Go hungry and enjoy.

I've held off on writing this review and I really hate to say it because I want this place to be…read moregood every single time I go, but the service is actually so terrible and by the looks of the other reviews, I'm not the only one who thinks so. The food is baseline for a diner. It's nothing special, but it is mostly acceptable and the ambience truly does all of the heavy lifting for this restaurant. The last three times I went the service is just despicable really. You look around and most people have their food and there's maybe two or three tables that need to either order or still receive their food and you sit there and you don't even get a drink order taken for literally 15 minutes which was my experience the last time I went, we were sat by the hostess, who quickly returned to the host stand to just stand there, and we waited for our waitress to get our drink order and it took over 15 minutes for anyone to come, and the only reason they came is because we got up and asked if we were going to get seen by anyone. And being that the service was so incredibly slow and lackadaisical the last few times I timed how long it took for me to get my food and it took 47 minutes for them to deliver a turkey club and a Philly. And the time before the most recent time I was there for breakfast and it took them over an hour to bring the food out, and they did NOTHING about it. Which really was the most shocking part I am in the Restaurant industry myself and there are things that are objectively right and there are things that are objectively wrong and something wrong happened and they had nothing to say for it except sorry. The poor young guy behind the counter on the way out was throwing himself under the bus as if the whole Restuarant is on his shoulders meanwhile our waitress had nothing to say drop the check off and just moved on in spite of the fact that I took the time to communicate that I was very disappointed by the extremely long wait time and the club I had on this occasion had rotten tomatoes in it that I couldn't even remove from my sandwich because they were basically mush but it's kind of like the perfect situation for them because I'm so hungry at this point after waiting so long that I do my best to remove it and my waitress is nowhere to be seen so it's not like she's gonna hear about it until she drops the check off. So basically long story short if you're in the market for mediocre food, extremely slow service and a somewhat interesting ambience and you have about three hours on your hands Howleys is the spot for you! I'm all down for the hipster vibes and I know subculture tends to lean on that but I think that they really gotta understand that they're not too cool to care about giving good service and and checking that their produce is fresh. It's such a great location and if they can't run this restaurant the way it should be maybe they should consider selling it to somebody who cares more. Having mini golf out front doesn't make up for the fact that you need to take care of people. Also, don't look in the spout of the creamer tin... Yelp I guess likes pictures so pictured below is the root beer float that took 30 minutes to come after we finished eating. I come here all the time and I really wish they would just do better. I literally just come for the ambience, but imagine if this place actually ran well and you didn't have to suffer waiting or picking at your food! Think about it! Also if you're the manager I don't need your phone number or some kind of vip service next time I go! I just need regular good service! The kind that every customer should go in there and be able to expect!

I talk about the "curb-to-table" experience frequently. In my former role as a Delta Air Line Captain, I recognized the curb-to-plane challenges our customers encountered. Chef Conley has created a friendly and welcoming experience from curb-to-table. It starts with the complimentary valet. Finally. Finally. I learned about our regular valet: MANNY! Manny, thank you for the kindness and safe service you have given us. You are usually the first person who takes care of the Buccan Family. You create the smile before we walk in the doors of Buccan or Imoto. Thank you. Solang' (my spelling is probably wrong and I apologize): You are such a beautiful soul. Thank you for your kind words to Laura as we left. Kindness makes a difference. While kindness is free, sincerity is priceless. Wow, I haven't even chatted about the food. We tried something new this time. After our small plates, we tried the pork chop. The mild onion and sweet rhubarb---simply stunning. Even shared, we boxed some for home. I don't care if you are watching what you eat. Close your eyes! The chocolate cookies (warmed) are a must. Period. Selfishly, I hope Chef Clay never gets a tv show. A book deal is allowed. We want this local treasure and his team to remain anchored here. Clay and his team are own foodie treasure in our back yard. But wait, there's more: Honored to watch Chef Clay modestly expand the Miami environs. He will be opening his Buccan-Imoto-Buccan Sandwich Shop experience in Coral Gables sometime in June/July. OMG, we cannot wait for this to open. Though retired from the airlines (I miss my MIA overnights), we will make the trip to celebrate these new venues. However, we will do it very quietly. We do not wish to be labeled as stalkers. Probably one of my longest reviews. I love seeing hard working people succeed. What this team does for the community is simply breathtaking. This is a true success story. Thank you Buccan-Imoto-Grato-Sandwich Shop-Stokes Barn Team!!!!

Not only did we love the food but we also got to learn the history behind Buccan which was fascinating to hear about. I got the steak tartare to start and it was impeccable!! The fried yolk on the top was so different than what you would usually see at most places. I got the swordfish for my entree and it's by far the best swordfish I have ever tried. Their short rib empanada at first bite tasted like every other empanada but once you really dig into it, it was very good! To end the night, we tried their chocolate chip cookies which was made to perfection sprinkled with a little salt on the top! Will definitely be back!
