Had a great experience at The Griddle. I hadn't been there since COVID and was glad to come back. Great staff, great owner. The food is good diner-style food, and the coffee is very good. The lights are bright, which is fine with me, but a couple at my party were not happy with how bright it was. It would also be good if there was some sound baffling to keep the noise down, but again, it didn't bother me. Everyone in my group loved the food, loved the staff, and loved the owner. Looking forward to being a regular once again! read more

If I could give No stars for this place I would. So I come in the sign says please seat yourself. So a friend and I did. Not only did we sit there almost 50 min before the waitress came to see us but she went around and seen everyone who was coming in after us. I just had surgery and all I wanted was to get something in my belly and leave. Then she FINALLY COMES TO OUR TABLE, and said ok so before you order just to let you know it's going to be over an hour from the time we ordered breakfast until we would actually receive our food... mind you we already been there almost an hour. This place has the worst Service and I'll never ever be back. read more

This place is a local gem. "Boca's oldest diner"! There's old pictures on the wall commemorating old Boca and the mug collection is assorted and random which I love. Their breakfast is great but their lunch is good too! I got the breakfast wrap today with eggs and veggies and it was amazing. I get breakfast wraps all the time and let me tell you, theirs is the best. This place is adorable read more

disgusting food and the people that work there can't seem to do anything right! the vibe is just all off here. explains the 2 stars. take your service literally anywhere else read more

We have ordered (Uber eats) from this place quite a few times...and they will ALWAYS forget one of your sandwiches (Frenchie Sandwich) and/or add on items. I know shame on us to keep ordering from here...but please fix this problem. We want to keep giving you money lol so just get your TO-GO orders together. read more

I've been going here forever. Had breakfast yesterday. Soooo good. Service, coffee, eggs sausage, pancakes and the potatoes phenomenal. Best breakfast in Boca!!!!!!!!!! read more

Situated in a strip mall is this hidden gem. Reminiscent of an old fashioned diner made it extremely inviting. Photos of the early years of Boca Raton adorned the walls and I was thrilled to see a we support the police flag prominently displayed. The restaurant was clean and very open. I ordered the nova sandwich that came with lettuce, tomato and cream cheese on an everything bagel. It was delicious. Making our dining experience even better was the excellent and friendly service we received from Jerri, our server. We had an opportunity to meet the owner, Naheed, she was both pleasant and cheerful. It was obvious to me that her attitude is exemplified by her staff. The Griddle will definitely be our go to place for breakfast in Boca! read more

The Griddle - Bars Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

We have been coming here for years and is great for breakfast, lunch or breakfast for lunch. Either way, The Griddle is one of Boca's first restaurants and has a unique vibe going for it. From the old pictures on the wall to the trinkets throughout the restaurant, there is a lot to look at and learn from. I vary between the breakfast, burgers, salads, and today the nova bagel sandwich. I honestly haven't had a bad meal and the service is really good, too. They do a great job trying to make sure everyone is happy and the orders are made right. I definitely recommend The Griddle if you want a quick meal or a quiet place to work or study. read more

Came to The Griddle for the first time after hearing about it from server Jerri, who we knew from a previous experience. The egg white veggie omelette was outstanding, probably the best I've had! What a hidden gem in Boca! Owner Naheed was welcoming and friendly. Plan to return many times in the future. read more

Rude people and will not go again. Been several times in the past, food is mediocre. Always went for breakfast, not to many ways you can mess scrambled eggs up. Almost every time I have been (before/after COVID) the service was still impolite and crude. Waitresses sit out front smoking cigarettes. Would not recommend unless you want to be treated like unwanted consumer. read more

My husband and I came to this establishment based on a recommendation from a neighbor. We have a location in Boca and in NY. If you are looking for fancy this is not the place. If you want a quick bite for breakfast or lunch at a reasonable price this place is on point. At first glance the deco appears to be random but if you look you can see each area represents something different. It's interesting, the staff was nice not the fastest but fine. I had an omelette and the portion was too large to finish in one sitting my husband had the matzo brei. Both were good, i liked the home fries they were nice and crispy. This is definitely a local haunt but the patrons and staff were diverse I personally didn't see any signs of racism nor extremist behavior as some of the negative posts suggested. This is a nice place to grab a bit I would come back and have recommended it to others as well. read more

The Griddle is a dependable diner located off of Spanish River Boulevard that does well typical diner fare for breakfast and lunch. If you're looking for no frills versions eggs and bacon, pancakes, matzo brei, and sandwiches, The Griddle will deliver. That's not a bad thing as the establishment has their regulars -- at least when I've frequented for breakfast. The interior has more of a typical country diner feel meets airy retail space, with pale yellow walls and various accents and knickknacks hung up. There are plenty of tables at which to grab a seat, as well as at the counter. Plenty of parking in the lot, and it's close to most of the commercial office parks in the area an FAU. Like I said earlier, the menu is straight-forward, and what you see is what you get. Nothing wrong with that, as I've ordered ham and cheese omelettes and matzo brei there before, as well as pancakes, and every time it's been good. Usually, I go there, when I'm passing through and want something more than a bagel in short time and then be on my way. However, I've never had anything that made me jump for joy, or see it as anything else than somewhere I can to get a quick meal. The service has always been fair, and usually can get in, have my meal, and be out in no time. The Griddle is A-OK in my book, and sometimes, when you're looking for something to fill your stomach, that's all you need. read more

This breakfast/lunch restaurant is a block away from my friend. Amazingly there was a Groupon for it so that's what got me in. Sat outside with my dog for breakfast which I had twice during my stay. Service is a bit slow. Very full menu choice Eggs and potatoes were good. Probably the best feta and spinach omelette I've had since being here. Really good coffee. Second time had the bagel and lox platter- also very good. Nice portion of lox. No matter where you go you can't find a real NY bagel but that's not anybody's fault. Blame the water. Good prices. read more

The Griddle is one of the oldest restaurants in Boca Raton. If your looking for a great meal with friendly service this is your place. South Florida is overrun with pretentious restaurants; this is certainly not one of them. The Griddle has an extensive menu and breakfast is served all the time! You can't go wrong with an omelette and a great cup of coffee! What I also like about it is the cozy atmosphere: old photos of early Boca Raton on the wall and a steady stream of regulars. read more

The Griddle - Bars Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Update time. Went back last week. The service and atmosphere was like a completely different establishment. I have rarely been served (or not served) by such rude waitstaff. And she was so argumentative. I specifically said "NO ONIONS." Guess what arrived in my food? Scallions. Hello!!! Scallions are onions. And she wouldn't accommodate me by making a new salad. I was to either pick them out or order a new entree. Nope. I stood up and walked out. If they don't know that a scallion is a (green) onion then they're either stupid or just don't care. I won't darken their doorway again. read more

I have eaten at the Griddle for many years. It's right around the corner from me. Standard breakfast food. I will never go again. Terrible service. Today my waitress served 1/2 of what I clearly and specifically ordered, nothing to drink, contradicted me saying I had never ordered it. She told me I was rude from Before I sat down. (I guess I walked rudely). In my 60 years, I've never had a worse restaurant experience. read more

Stopped in for breakfast. Simple friendly place in a sometimes snooty town. Expect good food and reasonable prices. Big backers of the BLUE ...thanks for that! Already told every retired blue friend in the area! Will definitely be back....thanks Kathy for the great service and history of The Griddle. read more

The Griddle - Restaurant - Bars Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Delicious food, super friendly staff, great portions, just all around excellent!!! I highly recommend this place for breakfast.

Love the food, service staff, ownership and being surrounded by patriots. Don't miss this diamond in the rough.

I have had breakfast at this place several times. The food, portion size, and service are good (except the coffee...diner coffee.. yuck). I noticed " Kiebasa and Noodles" on the special board..dont see that evey day...Polish wife said "we wil be back!" The folks that work here are very nice. Locally owned and operated. Not fancy but good. Support local! read more

I love this place as it is a throwback of old diners. Friendly staff, good food, and huge portions.

Food was good and service was ok for a weekday visit. Cost of items was high for what you received. There are better options more cost friendly in the area. read more

Bomb. Food is great. Service good. Atmosphere is comfy. Portions are generous and pleasing to the eye. Frittata was way more than I could eat and the H. Rancheros was making me wish I had two more stomachs. Don't know about lunch but if it's in the same as breakfast run don't walk to this place! read more

This restaurant is very dirty and I used to work there and the kitchen is disgusting the owner is very cheap and does not want to clean it up One time she dropped the bread on the floor and she put it back on the plate the owner She also never wears a mask read more

I thought with reopening I would give The Griddle another chance; mistake. They replaced a nasty waitress, Karrie, with another nasty waitress, sorry was not there long enough to get her name. She greeted me with I could not bring in my to-go cup of coffee from home. She assumed I was trying to get away with not buying coffee. She was wrong. I will never come again. Palm Beach Bagels on Yamato is friendly, efficient and less money. I will be looking for a "for lease" sign. read more

This is probably my favorite breakfast spot in Boca Raton. It's simple, friendly, and consistent. If you go at a decent time, even on weekends, it's not too busy. The staff is awesome, and the food is always good. I recommend getting the Southern Sampler if you like biscuits and gravy. I usually get it with a side of home fries as well, as the meal itself it a bit small. They have great coffee, and serve it in interesting mugs. While this is one of the oldest breakfast joints in Boca, it is kept very clean. I would recommend it if you're looking for a quick breakfast. I hear the lunch is good too, but I have not tried it. For me, it's a breakfast place. read more

The Griddle - They have some very unique coffee mugs. - Bars Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

This little diner was much more than we were expecting! Probably the best shredded hash browns we've ever had anywhere, and the omlettes we're just right. Large mugs of diner coffee and friendly staff- how can you go wrong? Definitely going to remember this place for future visits. read more

Really awful food and service, anyone could make better eggs at home, don't waste your money here

My boyfriend and I live just a short walk away, and because we love supporting local businesses, we decided to give this place a try. We are in our early 20s, and are both in the service industry, so most of the time we tip over 25%. At first glance, the menu looks delicious, however the food that came for us was not so good. My boyfriend asked for extra chocolate chips, and he only got 8 chocolate chips total (yes he counted). My chicken that came with my waffles were dry. As far as service goes, we only saw our illusive waitress 3 times: when she brought us menus and took our order, when she brought our food, and when she left the check. Our waters were left empty until after she brought the check, but by then we were just ready to leave. I waited for her to pick up the check and she never did, so I had to take it inside. IT GETS WORSE: I decided not to leave a tip after I saw the sign that said "THERE IS ONLY ROOM FOR ONE LANGUAGE AND ONE FLAG IN THIS COUNTRY". I do not agree. We began walking home, and we got about 100 feet away and the waitress yells after us, in front of several others, "REALLY, NO TIP?" How inappropriate!! My boyfriend and I are typically excellent tippers, as I am in the service industry myself! But from the very beginning, we got very poor service at this restaurant, so we decided not to tip. We could not believe the way this woman was acting, and this is not a local business I would like to support. read more

Boomers paradise! Food was good but the clientele and staff left a lot to be desired. The waitress said something about "whooping" my kid and later on tickled him without asking. As we looked closer we started noticing the weird conservative decor. Not planning on returning. read more

Prompt & friendly waitress, good food & dog friendly seating outside.. If your an America hating snowflake intolerant of the American flag your mommy can't buy you a soy latte here. read more

Whoa! this is one of the better breakfast places in Boca. It's somewhat hidden in a shopping center. I actually lived directly behind The Griddle so i went there many many times. Their food is really great and the service is very personal and quick. They have excellent coffee too. I always get the corned beef hash, which i think is amazing, their grits are awesome too but you can only get them in the earlier hours because they're popular, eggs any style are good here too. After a few visits the waitresses will probably call you by name. If you like breakfast, check this place out one morning.. read more

Despite the terrible reviews decided to give this place a shot. The woman with the short hair was very rude with the way she spoke to us. Had to move because we're blocking the way. The restaurant was empty. Waited 15 minutes to place an order. We had to pay 18% gratuity because we had 6 people? We had 4 adults and 2 babies. Mine didn't even order anything. Then we're told the credit card machine doesn't work. Smh. Husband has to drive to publix to get cash. Never again. read more

In the mood for comfort food? The Griddle packs solid diner favorites into a strip mall restaurant. With over 10 burgers choices it's a must try. I decided to have The Rodeo Burger: sliced onion, pressed into the meat and grilled. Then topped with bacon and BBQ sauce. Great way to cook the onion, pressed into the meat then grilled. Really added to the flavor. Kept the burger juicy. They also make solid fries. Could of been a slightly bigger burger but very good flavors! Great find in east Boca off 2nd Ave and Spanish River Blvd. read more
