    Peaches and Cream Waffle
    Jenna W.

    Incredible classic diner in the area! It gives you a welcoming and casual vibe the moment you walk in. We were sat immediately even with it being Sunday, which I was pleasantly surprised. The menu is full of all your classic breakfast options, along with a few choices to add even more flavor to a simple dish. I ordered the Peaches & Cream Waffle. It was incredible! Not only was the waffle giant, fluffy, and flavorful all by itself, but the homemade whipped cream and warm fresh peach slices on top made this dish so satisfying. It felt like a comforting reminder of a homemade meal that had care in the kitchen. It was very filling too with at least a whole peach sliced on the plate. It honestly didnt need maple syrup, but the syrup was delicious too and didnt make the waffle too sugary. Definitely recommend stopping here to treat yourself to breakfast!

    I have been coming here for a while now, with a visit at least every other month. Staff is always amazing and service is always great. Food has never once disappointed me, always delicious flavor! A great diner to visit for quick delicious food

    We had a wonderful lunch here. Service was good and so was the food. This "diner" restaurant serves breakfast and lunch now. They used to also serve dinner but cut back hours and changed the menu a bit after covid. My husband opted to have a breakfast dish -- the waffle combo and added sausages. He said it was great. His waffle was pretty large -- taking up the entire plate. The waffle was light and airy. He got scrambled eggs which came on a separate plate. They were fluffy. And he added sausage links which they did well done per his request. They gave him two syrups from which to choose -- one was sugar free. He used the regular maple syrup pretty liberally (he likes to fill all the waffles holes, eek!). I debated between a sandwich and a salad and chose the salad. The fatoush salad was excellent. It had a grilled chicken breast on top that was cut into strips. The salad itself had chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, lettuce, and crispy pita chips mixed throughout. It also had a very compatible seasoned dressing on everything. It was a delicious and way too large portion. I took about a third home for later. Forgot to say that I added a side of well-done french fries. I was curious about the middle eastern dishes listed on the menu, so I asked. The family is Lebanese. They had more of these items on the menu when they used to serve dinner. And they are house made. Can't wait to come back and try their shawarma or their hummus among others. It's a diner with an "extra benefit" as I love middle eastern cuisine. Oh, and PS: There is an actual person, Penelope. I asked about that, too. If you look closely at my inside tables photo, you'll see a little girl. That's Penelope.

    My daughter and I were in the mood for diner food so I Googled some of the top rated diners that were on our home and stumbled across Penelope's. We were greeted and seated immediately as we walked in and the establishment was clean, decor is well, what you would expect from a typical diner setting. Our food came out quickly and they catered to me with an item that they don't typically sell Al La carte, a potato pancake. I'm glad they did because it was pretty amazing and was told they make it in house. They do have a potato pancake Benedict item that sounds really good but I was more in the mood for a simple turkey club at the time, but I know what Im getting next time. Overall, food and service was fantastic, and price is fair. They were all super friendly and attentive, ended up finding out they're family owned and ran. You could tell they're proud of what they're doing. Definitely recommended and to support your local small business!

    OMG!!!! Hands down one of the best diners I have been to in a very long time, the current review is inaccurate. I'm sorry about it putting a before picture of food haha but it was delicious and the OJ is fresh squeezed so amazing. The syrup is warm and yummy. The service is great Ava was an amazing Waitress and I also love the vibe in this little cozy place, definitely family owned and worth it to come and eat here. My wife enjoyed it all as well . Will be coming more and more. Especially with being 5. Minutes away. The hours are perfect 8-3 as a diner like this should be. PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT.

    Great for breakfast and lunch. My omlette was stuffed and enough for 2! The tuna melt included caramelized onions, yummy. The lamb/pita was a little less than expected but seemed high quality and tasted great. Food comes out fast and together. We had to request ice tea refills. The place always seems clean.

    Cameron! His parents own the restaurant!

Despite the lack of a/c and rough conditions they were in, the staff were super friendly behind the counter. My husband and I orders some delicious subs on fresh sesame seed bread. They're super generous filling up their subs and the ingredients are fresh and top notch. As a pescatarian, my options are more limited, but my caprese sandwich was fabulous. We also ordered a cannoli which they hand fill. It was the best cannoli I have had in South Florida and tasted like the ones I used to enjoy from the North End in Boston. Finally a great cannoli! Due to the power issue, it was a little dark inside. However, this is a true, lived in authentic Italian deli. Again, if you're from up North, you will feel like you are at home here. V&S is the real deal, and very much worthy of all the rave reviews people have shared with me.

We split the Chicken Cutlet Florentine and it was absolutely incredible. Heads up: the full size is massive, so splitting it is definitely the move and still totally worth it!! The service was super friendly despite how busy it was. I had my eye on the black & white cookie too because what's an authentic Italian deli without one? Sounds like my next visit to Boca includes trying more stuff!

Laspada had a lit up sign in the window saying they're "open." I seem to recall Next Door Boca giving them decent reviews. I am a native of Philly, hometown of the hoagie. I thought I'd give this place a try. I ran from my car through the rain and tugged on the door....locked. The door hours say open at 11! So much for the lit "open" sign. They have outdoor metal tables and chairs under an awning. I sat at an outdoor table for ten minutes. I looked through the storefront window at a couple employees prepping and I read the wall menu. A guy unlocked the place at 11. I let a young family and several other guys go ahead of me. Guy at the slicing wheel waited on me. I ordered a small Mama Lastrada turkey & salami on wheat. There's about a half dozen employees behind the counter dealing with the assembly line of customers and sandwiches. Guy at the slicing wheel tells me one of the other guys will work on my sandwich. Okay. However, I can't move down the line because there's customers still lined up ahead of me waiting for their food. Slicing wheel guy looks up at me a minute later and asks what he can get for me. I look back at him waiting for him to recognize me from a minute ago when he already had sliced my order. No recognition! I repeated my order to him. Now he remembers me! He again refers me to one of his junior sandwich prep guys. I overheard him telling a busy junior guy, "This is just a small Mama on wheat" or something like that. Still, I can't go down the line because there's guy ahead of me had placed an order for 3 sandwiches. I swear to you that the slicing wheel guy asks me for a THIRD time for my order! By this time, I felt like I was in a Monty Python sketch. I repeated my order. Again, he refers me to a third junior associate (Manny, Moe, and Jack)? Finally, a young associate asked me for toppings. I had noticed two lettuce bins. One bin looked fine. The other looked a little brown. I decided to skip the lettuce rather than ask him to pick from the left hand bin and embarrass them. I also saw a black speck in the onion bin. It probably was nothing but I decided to skip onions just to be safe. I chose tomatoes, Swiss cheese, pickles and sweet peppers. The debit card reader asks if I want to tip. I skipped that. Price was reasonable. Hoagie was okay. The roll was soggy. Philly hoagie shops pride themselves on their rolls. I understand this is Florida, not Philly. I can appreciate this place is popular and busy. However, being asked for my order 3 times by the same experienced worker there left me feeling less than special as a customer.

I started coming here in early 2025 and that first visit was delicious and absolutely memorable... But if you read my original review of Vinny's Cafe, you'll see the issues I initially had... They bring in huge crowds (long lines; sometimes out the door for a good 50 foot)... and they have a lot of staff making these wraps on the assembly line but the staff are not consistent so don't be surprised if one wrap is wet and another day is dry, or one wrap is tightly rolled and another is falling apart; my biggest gripe is the fatty meat I got once so I just avoid roast beef... With that said, I have continued to come and I have learned to (1) order the wraps you know you like (don't experiment) and (2) try to use the staff you recognize from times your wrap was really good. Since then I have been ordering the same wrap every time (CHICKEN CESAR WRAP as it comes with the addition of sun-dried tomatoes) and it's been better... I also come at odd hours to avoid the insane long lines. Overall the wraps are amazing (and huge) but a bit inconsistent
