    Well I arrived at 6:56am and they open at 7:00am. Upon opening, as I entered, I was greeted by Ross. Young gentleman, polite and approachable. He is 100% geared towards properly serving customers. I've been here numerous times over the years with the family. Today I ordered the Carlos combo, 2 eggs, 2 sausage links, 2 bacon and a Half order of Biscuits & Gravy. Great portion, the food arrived hot and was delicious. They have plenty of seats and a counter service with family neighborhood diner feel. They do get busy on different days and times so that should also speak volumes.

    Popeye omelet

    Another great family breakfast..... we started out with fried zucchini. ( I know WHAT) I just live their fried zucchini and have to have some every time we go. Mom had the Popeye omelet. She opted for sliced tomatoes instead of potatoes today because she wanted one of their famous huge homemade biscuits. My boys had French toast and a waffle combo with eggs and bacon. I also had a waffle combo but with ham. Always great service and fantastic food. Huge portions at a great price. I had to add a picture of my coffee mug. So cute.

    This was a small diner and felt like a spot all the locals go to or the one you see in movies and you want to visit The vibe was a nice family breakfast spot like the next after a holiday Such a nostalgic feel The food was delish and felt homemade Portions were great There was only one server and she was killing it Loved it spot

    A true American diner. I've been eating here for years and it's always great. I get the skillet #1 with the biscuit. Always friendly staff and the place has an old world charm.

    I love diners, especially neighborhood, mom and pop, so this is a solid place for a home-style breakfast. No fuss, nothing too fancy. It was pretty busy but the wait wasn't too crazy. The menu has a lot of options. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for something casual and I'll probably be returning to try other dishes. I ordered the waffle combo with eggs, bacon and hash browns.

    Fried chicken club
    Craig L.

    I have had a door delivered menu from Carlo's on my desk for several years. I am from NJ, land of the diner. So, I finally made my wY to this spot. One word - DELICIOUS! Beat diner food I have had in Florida. I enjoyed a fried chicken club with fries. Simple and expertly prepared, served piping hot. Great friendly service. It's real close to home in a neighborhood I've never been before. I'll be back regularly. I had another go-to diner which shall remain nameless as I have nothing but praise for them. But Carlo's is now it for me when looking for comfort food.

    Drove by here on a whim and decided to give it a whirl. Glad we stopped by. The food was good. The service was impeccable. The vibe was very calm and had a lot of locals that you could tell easily that they come in alllll the time. I ordered the wagon wheel which was good and my guest got Carlo's special. The prices were super reasonable and all the food came out hot as soon as it was ready. I like that the kitchen is in view of the seating area so you can see the magic happen. Our server was super awesome. My guest accidentally left his phone and she brought it out to us. Overall the stars are for service, decent food, and cleanliness.

    Wagon Wheel breakfast: beef fritter w/sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns
    Melinda S.

    We wanted to find a local spot to have Christmas Eve breakfast and chose to try Carlo's. It was a great choice! It looks very unassuming from the outside, but don't let that turn you away. Once you walk in, the atmosphere is bright and clean. Our server was pleasant and attentive. I chose to try the Wagon Wheel breakfast which has a fried beef fritter (like country fried steak), with sausage gravy, eggs, and hashbrowns. I also ordered a side of corned beef hash for my boyfriend and I to share. Our meals came out quickly. All of the food was quite good. The corned beef hash was perfect, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The beef fritter was delicious and the gravy was one of my favorites! The eggs and hashbrowns were a little bland, but nothing salt and pepper didn't fix. It helped that they were cooked well and not greasy like many diners. I am not a big breakfast food fan and it takes a lot for me to like a breakfast out, but this was a good one! I will definitely return.

    Jerky Liver & Onions with no flavor mashed potatoes

    Known this diner to have good food from the local recommendations so I decided to try. Menu was limited which to me means what they have listed is probably their best dishes. Closes at 2. I ordered the liver & onions with mashed potatoes. Was the worst I ever had and I have had a lot! The liver was like jerky and not seasoned during cooking and the mashed potatoes were out of a box and can tell used water to make it was so bland no salt or butter used. Really not edible! The one thing was decent was the brown gravy. I see that people were eating hamburgers and those looked good. For a small hole in the wall was hoping for something spectacular but was a fail! Will try the hamburger next time and give this place another shot. If it is better I will change my review.

The best one with cinnamon roll then the Biscoff and then the Boston cream they were fluffy. The flavors were infused excellent and it wasn't too sweet. You absolutely needed no syrup at all. The chicken and waffle was very good. The chicken was well seasoned and fried to perfection. I added hot honey to mine. That way I can further that sweet and savory flavor. The strawberry stuffed French toast tasted like delicious strawberries. The cinnamon and nutmeg was infused throughout the French toast. Literally an amazing meal.

Definitely a fun group and honestly, the perfect place to get everyone together. Now, I'm going to be honest. I don't think the food was really up to par. Nothing was terrible, but nothing had me thinking, "Wow, I need to come back here for this." The mimosas, however, were doing their job quite nicely. Then again, once you've had enough mimosas, does the food really matter that much? At that point, it's all about the conversation, the laughs and the people you're sitting around the table with. And on that front, this brunch delivered.

You could tell that they were extremely busy there were maybe about four servers but every table in the place was packed. The kitchen seemed chaotic. There was no follow up on what was waiting or expected to be up next. There was no order of succession with delivering orders to the tables. The servers were exhausted and I did hear a their during that time and I don't even blame them. I can tell management was annoyed as well. Overall, I think that maybe the service would've been better especially for a pick up order if it wasn't as busy, but there was a woman who came up to the register and pointed out that she had been sitting for an hour and watch other families get served before her and that she was a regular. So I can tell it wasn't just impacting me. I hope that this isn't the normal service because it was my first time coming here when I got to my car with my bag of food, the food was lukewarm to room temperature which leads me to believe that it had been sitting on the counter now, and no one was paying attention to it. All I ordered was a meat lovers omelette with extra vegetables and tater tots and one slice of French toast I don't know why that took an hour and a half to complete or why my food was cold when I got it. My total order cost me $28. I wouldn't have felt so bad paying that price if I got the good service and fast service that I paid for but for an omelette and one slice of French toast, it wasn't worth treat your kind. I'm sure everybody was working really hard, but it was so disorganized and they had no system in place on how to get things done they really need to come up with a plan on how to handle high volume days if you serve your people in under an hour and provide quality food at the same time then you need to start turning people doesn't make any sense to pack your restaurant with you can't serve in a timely fashion, resulting in a lower quality of service and food at your own I'm sure my food would've been better if it was actually hot when I received

We asked why the check was $10 higher, (2 entrees only, no drinks). The server sent the owner over and she was a little short with us. She said the new menus were delayed. This serious menu prices issue might explain why there were only 2 tables of customers, the place was nearly empty at 5:30 p.m. The staff has changed. There's no friendliness or efficiency among the staff. The server yelled across the restaurant, "was that 4 waters with lemon?" The customer care has spiraled into borderline rude and is definitely not the same as it was. I told the server and the owner that the hush puppies were cold and hard as rocks. The check rung up a haddock even though it was cod that was served. The burgers are very good, but they need to grill the bun since the bottom bun was super soggy. The owner needs to step up and take some responsibilities for the drastic changes in poorer service, too. The menu pictured is the one we were given even though the increases only showed up on the check.
