    Great company and great friends
    David C.

    Pay it forward is what I learned today. Came from La and we had a great meal and great service! And the bill was paid for by a stranger and now friend! Much blessings coming from La!

    A staple in Northwood. Always yummy, and consistent, food and at a great price. The servers are attentive and the diner gives classic vibes.

    New York Omelette
    Sheree W.

    Solid, no-frills breakfast spot and a true West Palm Beach staple. The New York omelette was hearty and delicious, and while the biscuits with sausage gravy weren't the best I've had, they definitely hit the spot. Affordable, locally owned, and always a reliable choice for a good breakfast. Service is also really great and food is served pretty quickly, so whether you're in a time crunch or you're out with friends and have time to linger, this is the spot!

    The food was so good we breathed it down in minutes.

    This place is the go to spot for Breakfast. Lovely home comfort styled meals. The service is amazing and the environment and atmosphere is cozy. They make you feel like family. THIS is THE SPOT!

    Great service, great food, beautiful community! It was a bit busy when we arrived Sinday morning but we do not be a table with one of the regulars. Meal was decent, a little bit bland but overall okay.

    My friend Lisa suggested we come here for New Year's Eve breakfast. Found parking in the lot next to the restaurant. Was a little confused by the entrance as the door looked more like entering a utility closet. My friend was already seated so I joined her. Waiter came over to take my drink order. I just got water. We asked her to turn on the fan as it was hot. I joked with her but her sense of humor was non existent. I ended up turning it on myself because no one came over to assist. The catfish was delightful. Waiter brought my friend a to go box but completely ignored me. The food was great but the service I received was insulting.

    Two eggs, home fries (substituted for grits, & salmon cakes. My biscuit was on a separate plate. I added the hot sauce & ketchup.

    This place is a Northwood classic! It's an old school diner with great service and excellent food. The prices are great the amount and quality of the food they serve. I keep going back, because the experience is consistently awesome. It's old Florida right down to the Highway Men paintings on the walls. I can't recommend eating at This Is It enough.

    We went here to meet my step daughter for breakfast before headed down to the coffee shop down the street. It was a gorgeous morning so we opted to sit outside. I can not tell you about the inside of the place. The outdoor seating was nice and clean and pet friendly. I got the Western omelet with home fries, my husband got the fried catfish and eggs with home fries and my stepdaughter got the sausage biscuits and gravy. My husband said that he thinks it is the best fried catfish he has ever had. My omelet was OK, not the best, not the worst. I was not crazy about the home fries. They were large chunks of potatoes and mushy. I prefer sliced smaller and a lil crispy on at least one side. Hash browns were not an option, so next time I will get the grits. The pricing was another great reason to come back! All the food for breakfast the cost was under $10.00

    Found this place randomly, while searching for something for breakfast. Great cafe! Everything was great. Food was good, service was great, ambiance was great, prices FAIR & below average, really how they should be. They have indoor and outdoor space. We liked everything and we'll be back!

    Howley's Restaurant - Turkey Club STACKED HIGH

    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've visited every Chef Conley venue, including Stoke Barn. As of this writing,we are not…read moreconsidered stalkers, just normal people who love exceptional dining and service. 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!
