It looks like a small mom and pop diner. and I absolutely love it. The service was excellent within one minute of me being in the building. They asked me if I would like to be seated or if I wanted to go order. I've said this many times I absolutely love French toast, and I always judge it based upon whether or not it needs syrup. I ordered the French toast with one egg and the smoked sausage. The egg was your standard egg nothing special. The smoked sausage link was a sausage that I have never tasted it before, but it was good very flavorful and was not fatty at all. And now the king of the show or queen depending on who you're talking to... the French toast. I will say that the French toast was good however to me it tasted more like when you get a slice of bread at home, put butter on it with cinnamon and sugar and you put it in the oven on broil and let it toast a bit. It WAS delicious. The bread was delicious, but it did not taste like your typical French toast to me however, I would go back and order it again. They also had some really huge cinnamon rolls in there. I did not get one of those, but they were quite literally about the size of a person's plate. All in all I definitely would visit the diner again I could go without the egg, but the French toast and sausage definitely would have. read more

We were told months ago about the BEST corned beef hash was here! We finally made it, absolutely delicious and the best service too! We have been twice this month, awesome! read more

This place is consistently great!! Either for Bfast or lunch, perfect. Small hometown owned local place that welcomed anyone!! Great menu, very fast food delivery and the staff ensures all is good! Have not "met" the kitchen staff but they do a great job as the results prove it! They even bake their bread/biscuits and sandwich rolls daily!!! Lil hint- you can get a half dozen bagged to go for less than 5 bucks!! Just ask, we freeze em and thaw as we go for burgers at home!! We have never been disappointed nor had a bad meal here. They even have a few Greek meals including Gyros. Def add the fries to any meal, you will see why!! The inside is meat, clean and has that home town feel where they know yah when you stop by. Oh yah, def add bacon to your burger, local thick cut style. Spelled Colees's but pronounced "Coolies", don't sound like an outsider read more

Seat yourself and get to eatin'! This place has an old-school, fast-paced, diner vibe with a strong support of the locals. Wife and I stopped in for the "big buns" but when we saw the menu couldn't resist the biscuits and gravy! Everything tasted amazing and fresh, biscuits were definitely homemade. They brought out the big bun first and it was a delight with some hot coffee. Highly recommend this small business! read more

food, service, prices--all great. best shrimp i have ever had. reminds me of a 1950s restaurant. my friend and i each make a 100 mile round trip each friday to enjoy some outstanding food. read more

Wow, breakfast was good! Place is bigger than it appears from the outside. Retro decor and great staff!

Good food, great service! Can't beat the gravy and biscuits, even a half order is big. We always eat there when I come to town.

Clean. Service good, Diner quality food. Hamburger was a patty. But fries, onion rings and sweet potato fries tasty.

We've lived in Hastings for a few months and finally tried this place out. It's a very busy little place, but the service was great and friendly. Our server Lisa was awesome. There was a huge party next to us that was extremely obnoxious but she handled it very well. The food is definitely homemade for real. The pancake i had was, i kid you not, probably one of the top 3 best pancakes I've ever had. The homefries didn't even need ketchup they were seasoned nicely. The grits were pretty good as well. My wife had the french toast and it was so delicious. I'll definitely be here again. The prices aren't to bad either. read more

I came into this place looking to satisfy my country breakfast tooth and it's exactly what I found. What a poetic way to dish the classics that are missed by others so often. It takes a certain set of skills to be a cook in this type of establishment. You have to be fast, attentive and blessed with a great ADD syndrome. I know......Trust me. And so I'm expecting my eggs to be over cooked when I order over easy, but not here. This cool hit the mark on point! The service was outstanding. The warm greeting felt like walking into my best friend's home. I can see why all the regulars keep coming. I'll have to try their lunch menu next. read more

This is the one of the best places to eat for breakfast - although it's off of the beaten path it's definitely a true must to stop by in a little town! Our visit started off with being greeted with Chesley - smiling away. Chesley was so polite and attentive to our needs as we were a group of six. She'd constantly said yes mam'm and sir which is not heard of nowadays after every sentence. Hats off to her parents for those manners! The place has old school red and white vinyl chairs and outdoor hand saws, hammers, etc on the wall - yes a true southern diner in Florida. They had home made bread which was delicious. My husband had the French toast, two in our group had the BLTs - made with their home made bread, a big Ol tomato and the largest leaf of lettuce. I jumped out of my box and ordered the corn beef combo with the home fries with onions, homemade toast - delicious. If you're lucky enough you can buy a home made loaf to go! And the best I've left for last we took home the biggest cinnamon bun ever made - watch out Cinnibon you got some seriously competition in Florida! Chesley says it warms up in 30 seconds. Thanks again we will definitely be back and highly recommend this local diner in Palatka. read more

Breakfast was excellent. Their biscuits are HUGE! Service was good, tried and true staff.

This is my go to spot for breakfast and never disappoints. Very accommodating with sugar free diets. Just order pancakes and they have sugar free syrup! My fiancée always orders the breakfast bowl and is always satisfied and he is pretty picky! read more

Food was horrible and wasn't what was advertised on menu and no flavor but I ate it anyway and the waitress was horrible had to wait for refills and our bill will never go back again ever read more

Good food. Had their biscuits and gravy. Half order was too much for me. I'd guess a full order would feed three people. My wife enjoyed their BLT breakfast sandwich. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Also seemed like a popular place with local customers. read more

What an awesome and amazing place to eat. I had the grilled chicken with broccoli and mashed potatoes. The chicken was so juicy with that grilled flavor left me wanting more. Veggie burger was good and there were a lot of fries. Amazing staff, they give you cookies with your check. Those cookies are the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. Everyone had a smile and seemed happy to be there. Definitely a new favorite spot for me. read more

The food is great and service is wonderful. Great place to eat and very reasonably . waitress is wonderful and very happy place to eat

Fish and shrimp were very good, very generous portions. Server was awesome and kept the tea filled!

My boyfriend and I came here today for lunch. The building and decor are very retro which I think is great! We were instantly and warmly greeted and told we could sit wherever we wanted. Our drink order was taken as soon as we sat down. I got the lunch Shrimp Platter and everything on it was delicious. The fries were hot and perfectly cooked, soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The shrimp were fresh and lightly battered. Then to top it off, two free homemade cookies were brought out to us. Our server was very friendly and prompt. Prices are more than reasonable especially for the quality and portions. Will definitely be back to try the breakfast! read more

First meal in Palatka and it was a wonderful experience. Prompt friendly service and delicious food. I went for a late breakfast and picked the Breakfast Bowl - 2 sunny side up eggs with bacon in a bowl of cheese grits! Can't ask for more than that. And the fresh bread that comes on the side already buttered is to die for! Well, if you're a bread and butter lover like me. I've been thinking about it ever since and can't wait to go back. Too bad it's Sunday! read more

It was extremely difficult trying to place an order with a young man that was severely under trained, for 2 basic breakfast sandwiches right off the menu (he was very nice tho). Told 15 mins, was 40 mins. A woman assisted us and was so nice/ helpful! We were upset at that point over many things and weren't as kind to her (sorry if you see this) Another young girl coming from the back definitely could use some training in speaking to customers. Our sandwiches were actually sitting for a while as my nephew said the bag they handed us was back there for 10+ mins and he asked the young man about our order when they brought that out. He said ours wasn't done yet. We left and ate them immediately. They were cold, dry and way more bread than anything. I've heard good things and will give them another try as this was our 1st time. Maybe dine in when we have a lot of time, but it will definitely be a while. They definitely need to train the staff a little better. I hope to update this with a more positive review later. read more

Great service, clean and good food at a good price! Can't go wrong. All that can be said.

Heard about the restaurant from the owners daughter. Drove out from St. Augustine for a Saturday morning breakfast. Service was somewhat slow because the place was so full of locals. Our waitress, Amber, was wonderful. Food was excellent. If you want a great redneck place (as reviewed by a ya-hey yankee), this is the spot. I'll be back! read more

I don't give many 5 star ratings but this little restaurant on the corner was a pleasant surprise! We just ordered hamburgers and French fries and the hamburgers reminded me of the ole time smashed burgers that we got in the 60s and 70s! The fries were super crispy and delicious. AND they bring your bill along with chocolate chip cookies ! The staff members were very friendly. We almost didn't stop because we weren't sure it was open. By the time we got our food, the place was packed with locals! read more

Nice little quaint spot with great food and friendly staff! Homemade bread is to die for and the cinnamon buns are out of this world.

I love the shrimp and fish baskets with fries or sweet potato fries. Value priced and plentiful for lunch. Breakfast menu includes corned beef hash, my favorite, eggs and hash browns (I ask to include onions). Homemade bread is tasty as well. read more
