    Yes, they do have diners in Palm Beach. I felt right at home. The oatmeal was nice and hot. They have it through out the week. Two thumbs up here. The portion size was plenty. I added blueberries to top off the oatmeal. It has a warm cozy atmosphere with a glass front so plenty of light. What a way to treat myself on a visit to Palm Beach

    Wonderful breakfast in PB. Walking distance to beach. Eggs Benedict was great. Also has gluten free toast.

    Chicken Quesadilla

    Great diner. I walked in on a Saturday morning and was immediately seated. The service was quick and the food was great. The prices are extremely reasonable. The Chicken Quesadilla was very large and delicious.

    In the middle of Palm beach on a corner sits a diner that is both quaint and flavorful and will transport you back to what a beach diner is all about. Good Prices, great atmosphere and good people. The food choices reminds us all why we like a diner and what they have to offer.. Coffee, eggs Benedict and side of potatoes and ready for the day. The waitresses were so nice and accommodating. Don't miss this place, worth a stop for Bkfst, lunch or whenever. Good food. Good people and at the beach where else...

    Ham & cheese omelette

    Greeted as I walked through the door and seated immediately. Not many visitors this morning but it is supposed to rain all day in the sunshine State, not exactly beach weather. The place is retro model and plays great music from the golden era....70s and 80s. Table, booth and bar seats are available. Order was taken immediately and the the food was out in under 10 minutes!! Waitress was very friendly and pleasant. Place was very clean and the food was delicious. Only thing preventing a 5-star is you pay for everything. Omelet ingredients to substitute muffin for toast. But they do have Heinz ketchup! Overall good experience and would certainly visit again if in the area. Chances are slim because if you are not a beach person or golfer, why visit WPB? Haha.

    Mid. Definitely not all it's cracked up to be in reviews and how busy it is! Pros- - very cute bright atmosphere with vintage diner ambiance with breakfast bar stools and booths - looks very clean - food can be decent depending what you order Cons - - I paid $10 for this "bowl" of soup in a cup that wasn't even filled up. Prices are ridiculous and they can get away with it because it's palm beach. - I ordered a side salad and she wouldn't let me pick a dressing, I had to get the balsamic it comes with - service is SO slow, waited at the bar forever before being asked beverages, then again waited forever for food, then no one came to see how everything was or if we needed anything -- mind you we're at the bar so they could have literally taken 3 seconds to turn around and ask Probably wouldn't come here again but the ambiance is nice and relaxing even tho it's busy so they get an extra star for that

    We dined in on a busy Sunday afternoon for a brunch for party of 10 plus a child. The place was nice and staff was welcoming. Wait time was about 10 mins before we were seated. Food was served in 20 mins fresh made. We had omelette, French toast, pancakes and egg Benedict. The great service, nice ambience and plenty to choose from menu makes it a five star in my list of breakfast options in Palm beach area.

    Coconut cake

    An absolute must if you're in Palm Beach! Yes an affordable diner on the Island! Delicious food, great service and comfortable friendly ambiance! Today I went in for their famous Coconut Cake to take home! Quick friendly service! Spotless and bright interior! The Coconut Cake did not disappoint! Light and fluffy and not too sweet! The cake is moist and delicious! I love coconut cake and this is definitely one of the best!!

    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!
