    We like coming here on the weekend for brunch. It's a casual and homey vibe. The service was great! She was attentive and worked hard during a busy shift. Almost every table was occupied. Our breakfast was done well. Their food is consistent every time we visit. Well priced neighborhood diner like this is a gem!

    Came here recently with my fiance for breakfast and it was so good! The place is small but cute. There could be a wait sometimes but it's definitely worth it. I got the biscuits and gravy with eggs and my fiancé got the lumberjack which was 3 eggs, 3 bacon, 2 sausage, home fries and then a side of pancakes! It was a lot of food but everything was delicious. We will definitely be back! Make sure you come hungry!

    Best Breakfast place in Boynton Beach. Keep in mind the restaurant is a bit small so there can sometimes be a wait, but it is totally worth it. The service is fast and the food comes out quick. The staff are all attentive, which is great. They pride themselves in being a diner, hence the name, but what that means is you get huge portions for an amazing price. You can easily split most of the breakfast plates between two people and be out the door for under $25 with tip. We of course got seperate plates to try as many things as possible and everything was amazing. I want to try the 5 egg omelet next time but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

    The Diner is one of my favorite spots. The portions are huge, the food is great, and my coffee cup never stays empty. My go to breakfast order is the avacado eggs Benedict and it comes with home fries or sometimes I ask for a side of fresh fruit instead. I've gotten the Greek omelette here before as well and it's great! I'f I go for lunch, I like the soup and sandwich combo with the turkey club and chicken noodle. The service is always great.

    We stopped in at the Diner for a quick breakfast and although there was a line we were quickly seated within 10 minutes. Inside has the look of a classic Diner and the service was very fast! I had a delicious Tuna Melt that was loaded with Tuna. It was a big portion so I took the other half home! My husband had the breakfast sandwich that was perfect with the salt, pepper, ketchup! Definitely a go to if you want a real tasting Diner food!

    Very friendly staff with an old fashioned feel to it. The diner has an extensive menu with delicious food and huge portions.

    This place has been here a very long time. It's a diner where everyone can get whatever they want! I ended up getting a Greek salad which was huge (that I had to take 1/2 home). Everyone else got tuna, bacon/turkey sandwich and more. The waitress didn't pay attention to us that much which was annoying (I had to ask for lemon 3xs) and we had to wave her down! It is immediately off of Gateway on 95 so it is easy access north/south.

    The Rundown: a local, no frills diner that serves up impressive portion sizes at reasonable prices with "in-store" creations (including peeling own potatoes). The Review: When visiting town early, I was brought here by a local for breakfast. First impression, being in a strip plaza the interior had surprising heart and definitely gave off the independent diner vibe. Staff was friendly and after seating ourselves was prompt and attentive. The menu offers a good variety of options and after being told the omelets are impressive I had to give them a go. I went ahead with a western and the five eggs definitely evident from the size, paired with a very hefty portion of in-store prepared country potatoes. Overall it was filling, but it did miss a little something that would have elevated the taste - the potatoes felt like just eating plain cooked potatoes and with the reminders around the restaurant about how they prepare their potatoes it just had me expecting a bit more from a flavor profile. Overall, it's definitely worth the visit and you certainly will not leave hungry. Supporting a local business is an added plus!

    Ive heard so many great things about the Boynton Dinner that me and my husband finally decided to have breakfast there this past weekend. The food is delicious and plentiful with decent affordable pricing. The only downside was our waitress Chrissy. You never know what could be happening in someone's personal life but her demeanor and attitude with us was very unpleasant (short tempered and unwelcoming). At one point I asked a question about a dish and she grabbed the bridge of her nose in frustration and then rolled her eyes as she answered. We will definitely visit this location again but hope we get a different server or catch Chrissy on a better day.

    My husband and I just had breakfast for the first time here, and we had a great experience. Diane was our waitress, and she was fantastic! She was super friendly, very attentive, anticipated our every need, and she was quick on her feet with the spirit of the Energizer Bunny. The omelets were cooked to perfection... not dry, not runny, and a generous amount of ingredients. I got the 5-egg Greek omelet, and the spinach, tomatoes and feta were in perfect balance. My husband ordered the 5-egg turkey club omelet, and it was made exactly as he requested. The home fries were fresh, and the toast was nice and thick. We ordered a single piece of French toast to try, and it was tasty too. While we were here, I learned the ingredients are all fresh, not frozen. The eggs are even cracked fresh in house, they're not from a carton. That's a whole lot of egg crackin'! I also really appreciate the fact that this diner is mindful about their ingredients. They don't use high fructose corn syrup in their salad dressings, their ketchup is actually organic (!), they don't use artificial colors or flavors in their pancakes, and their jellies don't contain high fructose corn syrup either. You'd expect a long wait for the quality of food we received, but it was incredibly quick even when they were super busy on a Sunday around noon. The prices were reasonable, and the restaurant was clean. My husband and I agree we'll most definitely be back...and we're going to request to sit in Diane's section again! Five stars all around!

I ordered the teriyaki bowl with chicken and it had no teriyaki flavor or sauce anywhere. The chicken was probably slightly marinated but I wish it tasted more like teriyaki. The grilled salmon was tasty but the poached egg that came with the Brussels sprout Cesar was full of water and undercooked so I literally didn't even eat it. The strawberry lemonade was 80% water, stick with the hangover cure. The hangover cure was very refreshing. The servers split the tips so they were all pretty helpful and attentive. Probably a good spot for cocktails but I went with my grandma so virgin drinks were the way to go. All in all I'd be back for a cocktail and the fries. The food is also pretty pricey. $11 French fries, $9 for a non-alcoholic beverage. Also when I went, the menu was limited. They weren't serving any of the 'Shareables'. I went at 3pm on a Sunday so you'd think this is prime time to have a full menu available. Service 9/10 Food 6/10 Location & ambiance 8/10 Would I go back? Yes.

The vegetables sandwich that I ordered had so much oil but fortunately the bread soaked up some of it, so I just discarded the bread. My wife's salad with fish was very good. Also, the fruit served with my sandwich? Just perfectly ripe and enjoyable. One of the things that cracked me up here, being a laid back Texas boy, was over hearing all the incessant, noisy, nasal New York Jewish ladies whining, commiserating and ruminating with each other at the other tables. That was entertaining. I had thought about asking about the homemade desserts but the staff was slammed I guess cause no one came around to check on how things were going and if we needed anything else. Just as well. Counting calories. My tipping default would normally be 20% but today... not sure what I will leave lol.

A great value (before 11:30 weekdays) is the $8.95 egg breakfast which includes eggs your way, toast, potatoes and fruit.

They have a really nice outdoor seating area,complete with heaters when needed. We chose to dine inside. The vibe inside the restaurant was kind of a boho rustic feel, and I really liked it. Soft lighting and music really set the tone. We were immediately greeted by our server, Gustavo, and given our menus. We don't drink, but they had a nice selection of drinks, cocktails and spirits. We decided to start with the sweet and sour cauliflower. It was absolutely delicious! Cauliflower battered and fried and tossed in a sweet and sour sauce. For our entree we shared the 44oz Creekstone ribeye. It was served with charred broccolini and and a fried airy potato side dish that was out of this world! The steak came sliced and off the bone, so it was perfect for sharing. It was served with 3 toppings; a horseradish sauce, a balsamic glaze, and delicious mixture of sliced peppers. Our steak was cooked perfectly, and seasoned well. We did not have dessert there, as we had a birthday cake at home. And I feel remiss that I didn't even look to see what they had. Overall, it was the perfect place to have a romantic, celebratory dinner!

Upscale vibe with dim lighting. - plenty of parking A few I didn't.. - The fish dip was just ok - the fried part of the southern fried chicken while juicy on the inside, lacked flavor - the up charge for almond vanilla milk in the espresso martini without being told up front of the added cost -the steak tartare happy hour portion is 1 bite-sized piece. Just offer the normal sized portion for a reduced happy hour price as opposed to 1/4th the portion for 1/3rd the price. Overall I would say every experience is good but not great.

We came here for dinner last night and we were seated with a direct ocean view. This is one of the few places that is literally on the beach that you can have dinner. It was around 7 PM so there was shade and cool evening ocean breezes We ordered the whole snapper which was a whopping 2 1/2 pounds and the grouper. The snapper was obviously meant for two people because of the amount of rice and vegetables they included with the snapper. It was excellent. The grouper came in some type of coconut sauce, which was amazing. We were dipping our snapper in the sauce for the grouper. If I was to make any type of recommendation, I would recommend adding a side of this sauce to the snapper and that would just make it a perfect dish I had a watermelon Mojito. The drinks here are ridiculously expensive at $17 a cocktail. And it's not like they come in a huge glass. They come in a regular wine glass. They do say that all the ingredients are natural and nothing is artificial, so maybe it's worth it to pay that much to not have a bunch of junk in your drinks. The service was slow. Although friendly. When we arrived, there was not that many people eating so I was surprised when after 30 minutes we still had not gotten the cocktails. Our waiter said it was because there was only one bartender and he was 15 minutes behind on his orders. I find this pretty amazing that a restaurant like Benny's cannot hire more than one bartender so that the people who come and pay what is not really a moderate amount but pretty expensive for their entrées, but still have to wait 20 minutes to get their drinks. It was only for this that I took off a star. When I order a cocktail, I like it brought out within five minutes and not to drink during my dinner. Dinner was also very slow and we got our entrées about 45 minutes after our order. But all in all, it was an amazing experience and we will be back.

After dinner we watched the sunset on the pier. Benny's change $1 per person to access their pier but it's so worth it. The pier seemed to be a popular spot for fishing as there were a lot of families casting lines into the ocean. It was a beautiful evening at Benny's.
