    Chicken Fried Steak Breakfast
    Jasmine D.

    Figuring out how to enter was tricky, despite the red door and big sign pointing to come in haha. When you walk inside, you feel like you entered the kitchen so it is a little disorienting. It is a small cafeteria set up with antiquated pictures and decor. We were able to get seated quickly as it was a weekday morning. There was only one older woman managing all the tables and the phone orders so we were understanding when she didn't greet us right away, and also when she forgot to bring us several things we had asked for during our meal. We ordered the cornbread beignets to munch on while deciding what to eat. It was sweet, but not overbearingly so. I ordered the country fried steak with grits. I thought the steak was just OK, but grits were good. Maybe I should've ordered something else because I didn't see what all the raving reviews were about. Very affordable menu options and they serve everything all day so you can order whatever you fancy. Maybe I will return and try something else.

    I'm just going to come out and say it that this is a very special breakfast/lunch/brunch place. I would never would have found it without Yelp. Clary's is located in a retirement building in Lake Worth. There is a hand painted sign next to an unassuming red door which is the entrance. If you weren't looking for it, you would never find it. But that would be a shame. Clary's is a throwback to the way breakfast places used to be. When you first stand in front of the red door, you wonder if you're at the right place. When you enter, you walk down a hallway and end up in a breakfast place that could easily be from the 50's. It is located in a retirement community but it is open to anyone. Obviously, many of the residents eat there regularly and they were very friendly. The place is is delightfully quaint. There are a good number of tables and booths and, if you want an even more authentic experience, sit at the counter to eat. We were immediately taken to a nice table/booth by a very friendly lady. She said it was her first day working there but it certainly didn't seem like it. She not only knew her stuff but took very good care of us. We all ordered coffee which was quickly brought to us. The coffee was excellent by the way. I told the owner this and, at the end of the meal, he actually gave me a sample package of the coffee for free to try. We were brought surprisingly large menus with a lot of intriguing options. In addition, there was a board with numerous daily specials. I ordered the smoked brisket skillet and my father and uncle ordered the pulled pork skillet. I also ordered a side of three pancakes since I'm always on a quest for good pancakes. After a not too long period of time, our skillets were brought out to us. Both my smoked brisket skillet and the pulled pork skillets were huge. Not only were they huge but they were absolutely delicious. The eggs, the pork, the brisket as well as the hash browns were all perfect. The pork and brisket were tender and savory. The eggs were just as requested (mine sunny side up and my father's and uncle's over easy). The rye bread was really fresh and had that deep rye taste you don't often find. The skillets left us all pretty stuffed but there were still pancakes to try. Each pancake was very large and was obviously hand-made. Delicious! The owner and his wife were also both there working and were very friendly. We stayed well past the closing time (as did others) and no one minded in the least. The owner spent a fair amount of time speaking with us. Also, our waitress could not have been any nicer. Oh, I'm not sure if I mentioned it but their prices are VERY reasonable too. I believe the total bill for all three of us was under $60. Country Inn in Lake Worth was my favorite breakfast place but I think Clary's just edged it out. The food, service and ambiance are a throwback to a time when people weren't in such a rush and things were made with pride. Do yourself a favor and try Clary's. Needless to say, Clary's rates an easy five-star review. In the words of a famous android, "I'll be back!"

    Cornbread French toast  with fried chicken (the bread topping is some kind of maple butter)
    Gillian C.

    This was not my first time here for breakfast, but it was my first time in several years. I love the menu and the board listing daily specials, and it's very hard to make a choice. When you see cornbread French toast (with or without fried chicken), it's hard to consider other items. Luckily my dining companion ordered that, leaving me able to get the salmon Benedict with home fries whilst knowing I could have a bite of hers. I asked the original server (she left right after we ordered) if the salmon was thin sliced, as in Lox, which is what I hoped. She said yes. As there was one person (co-owner) only in the kitchen and our server had left, the food took a while. I didn't mind this morning, but some people may be expecting it quickly as with most diner breakfasts. He was cooking everything by himself and also serving, until another person showed up right before we left. My salmon was salmon filet -- like a dinner piece of salmon. I was bummed out, but I know it's healthy and I ate every bite of the fish. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked, and the home fries were nicely well done as requested. My friend's French toast was delicious. I could have eaten a whole piece. She also ordered this hash brown dish that looked great. The missing star is just for my incorrect salmon information and for the slow service. There was literally two of us and two people at another table -- that's it. I'd hate to think of the chaos and wait time had it been crowded, and I've read that it certainly gets crowded at times. All in all it's really good, and I'd love to try the Monte Christo, or the Mexican street corn quiche, or the pecan sticky bun French toast. Great options!!! Just don't go if you're on a diet.

    I learned about this restaurant from the Let's Eat South, Florida Facebook group. It was described as having great food in a quirky location, in this case a retirement home in Lake Worth. You park on the street and enter the restaurant down an embankment on the side of the building through a non descript red door. Once inside you have to go through the pantry and past the freezer to enter the dining room. If it sounds strange, trust me it is. The dining room is small but painted a cheerful yellow. There is a counter and one side of the room and tightly packed tables on the other. An elegant menu board lists the specials of the day. The kitchen is a tightly run operation overseen by chef Victoria Elliott. As a French toast fan I could not resist Grandma Lida's Pecan Sticky Bun French toast. A massive sweet roll dripping in cinnamon and sugar and topped with pecans was presented to me along with the side of potatoes and bacon I ordered. The French Toast is not what you would traditionally think of with thin bread slices. This large roll has more the consistency of a bread pudding. It is best for people who enjoy very sweet things. It probably has a million calories but I could only eat half anyway. The only negative thing I can say about my visit was that the tables were so closely packed together that I couldn't help but overhear a very loud conservation at the next table where a woman complained the entire time I was eating that someone she was interested in who was in Las Vegas was not returning her texts. She then went into minute detail about all of the texts she sent only to be ghosted. Girl! He's just not into you! Don't worry about her though. She has a single dad with 4 kids on the back burner in case the Vegas guy doesn't work out. LOL One other thing of note was I stepped out into the hall to use the bathroom and got a whiff of the nursing home. I haven't inhaled that scent since my grandma was alive. I don't know what it is but it smacked in the face in a wave of nostalgia. If you love quirky places with great food and great prices head on over to Clary's. The service was spot on too. Aside from a little table drama, I could not have wished for a better breakfast.

    Cornbread french toast
    Andrea C.

    If you are looking for a place with great ambiance, don't come here. If you are looking for a place with a great view outside, don't come here. If you are looking for home cooked meals, you must try Clary's! We came here for breakfast while on vacation. The menu is massive but I finally decided on a crabcake sandwich - it was very good! The crab cake was better than a lot of places as limited filler. And it had a great side dressing (or maybe I asked for it on the side) of a mustardy sort of sauce. I'm not a fan of french toast. And I normally skip cornbread whenever I can - but I just had to try my husband's cornbread french toast and that is all I talked about for two days. Yummy!!

    Quiche Lorraine with cheese grits. So good!
    Vicki S.

    Unusual location, wonderful food. In fact the whole experience was excellent. This is of the many reasons l love Yelp. There is no way we would have ever found this treasure without it. We walked in 15 min before closing, were greeted warmly and when we apologized for making them stay open the chef told us as long as there are people that want to eat his food he is happy to stay there and cook it. Everything we ordered was like home cooked comfort food. My husband had the smoked brisket skillet and it was huge, perfectly cooked and wonderfully tasty. I had the quiche of the day and if I had room I would have asked for a second one. The server was really nice and the chef came to the table to ask if we had enjoyed our meal. Yes sir, we really did and we are already talking about driving 45 min back there to do it again! Five stars. Look for the red door!

    Country Fried Steak & Eggs
    Sheryl W.

    We looked for a breakfast place in Lake Worth and this came up as a five star. When you walk in you're walking through somebody's kitchen it's pretty bizarre. It's part of a residential building and you just walk around the side through a red door. When you walk inside it is something out of the 1950s and it is like grandma's down home cooking kitchen. Pretty much there are regulars here for years upon years and supposedly they have been here for about 45 years. There are fun signs throughout and it is definitely a comfort food kind of place. Check it out... it's a hidden gem. My partner recommends the country fried steak and eggs. The sausage gravy is the best ever according to him. They are open 8-1. You can get breakfast or lunch at any time. Super friendly.

    Have been wanting to come here for the longest because of the reviews. The place did not disappoint! It is small inside and not visually appealing to get into. That being says the quality and quantity of food was worth it. I had the crab cake Benedict. It was all crab much better than the last place I had crab! So much food and very tasty. The service is a bit wonky but they are friendly and funny so it's hard to be mad at them. You could tell they had many regulars. I would return again to try some of their other plates.

    Small cozy scary because it's in a senior living facility. But it stands alone and the food is great.

    This place is worth the trouble finding it. Hidden under what I believe is an assisted living facility, this is the best breakfast spot in the area. Highly recommend their biscuits and sausage gravy! Their cornbread French toast is also killer. They need a DDD visit from Guy Fieri

The canoa alone was bursting with so many different flavors that worked so well together, but even the quinoa and beans were a nice juxtaposition to the other flavors. Even the salad with pickled onions was a bright highlight of the dish. I honestly wouldn't change anything. If this is what vegan food was like all of the time, I would reconsider my food choices.
