    Located at the opposite end of Dixie Donuts, this was a convenient lunch stop. A small diner open until 3pm, with some counter seating and a larger dining room. They have a handwritten daily special menu as well as two white boards in the dining room. I chose the Meatloaf lunch which came with two sides, mashed potatoes and zucchini. My meal was good and filling. The service was friendly and fast.

    Southend Kitchen Review - A Solid Local Breakfast Spot Worth Visiting Stopped in at Southend Kitchen for a late breakfast, and I have to say--it's a great little Mom-and-Pop-style spot that serves up classic breakfast and lunch fare with heart. They're open daily from 7 AM to 2 PM, so it's definitely a morning or early afternoon destination. The staff was warm and welcoming--the kind of service you hope for in a hometown diner. The overall layout and atmosphere feel like a familiar family-run spot, nothing flashy, just cozy and comfortable. I had the eggs, bacon, and French toast combo. The eggs and bacon were standard and just right, but the French toast stole the show--seriously over-the-top good. I'm guessing they cooked it in a butter base because the edges had that perfect crispness without being greasy or soggy. It was rich, flavorful, and easily one of the best I've had in a while. Coffee was a bit on the darker, over-roasted side for my personal taste, but still drinkable. The grits were creamy--not clumpy or dry--and the toast came out just right. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared, even if the presentation was pretty standard. Pricing is moderate and fair for what you get. Overall, I'd give Southend Kitchen a solid 8.5 out of 10. If you're in the area and looking for a satisfying breakfast or lunch in a laid-back setting with great service, this is a spot worth checking out--especially for that French toast!

    The Working Man $9.99! This place has great value.

    This is a really nice neighborhood diner. The food is always good, consistent, and really well priced. Most places would be $3 - $5 more for the same thing. The service is good too. Most of the staff has been there for awhile too. If you're in the SoSo area stop in. Enjoy!

    SouthEnd Kitchen is a no-frills diner that serves your standard breakfast and lunch fare like ham and cheese omelettes and BLTs, without any pomp or circumstance. And gosh, do I love it. I've been frequenting SouthEnd for the last couple of years. They are a place I like going for breakfast when I have the time. They are dependable. They are affordable. And, most importantly, their dishes such as their ham and cheese omelette with hash browns hits the spot. Located in a small plaza, northbound on Dixie Highway, a couple of blocks north of Forrest Hill Boulevard, past the Chevron gas station and Innova boutique, SouthEnd offers consistent dishes with prompt service. Parking in the plaza to reach SouthEnd is normally available With a bar counter as you enter with stool seating, as well as four booths at least and 10 to 12 tables, the diner has a steady flow of locals from the area who patronize for their favorite dishes -- like me and the omelette. The decor is simple with white walls, holding up framed pictures that blend with the decor instead of pop, but that's part of the charm. I come to SouthEnd because it's easy and dependable. You can always find a couple of seats, service is always punctual, and I never leave hungry.

    An amazing turkey club and a mountain of fries.

    Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. I cannot say enough good things about this place. The staff is really friendly. The food comes out hot, fresh and delicious. It's a great little restaurant that happens to be both family friendly and nice and quiet. If you order fries you get a more than generous portion of French fries. And for West Palm Beach the prices are definitely very reasonable.

    It's nice to find a lunch place that has reasonable prices good food and friendly service. Everyone here speaks English so there are no issues. I had a patty melt which was excellent and it came with fries also very good iced tea. The only complaint was my friends lemon chicken soup, it was rather bland and the saltine crackers were stale. Good selection of lunch specials at very reasonable prices

    Closed for holiday but didn't mark closed on Yelp- which is easy for them to do and would've saved me a trip.

    Closed for holiday but didn't mark closed on Yelp- which is easy for them to do and would've saved me a trip. They are closed for two weeks- until August 4th.

    We went here for brunch. We all had the skillets and while not what I would consider a traditional skillet was really very tasty. They put the cubes potatoes on bottom and then the omelet on top of that and then a sausage gravy. So it wasn't all cooked together. Nice portions and the staff was very friendly.

    Yum! Nice clean diner with great staff!! Will be back!

    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!
