This place is everything you want in a breakfast spot. It has a great laid back vibe and interesting decor. As they say the food is prepared out in front you and yes it's executed perfectly. Service is attentive and fast as well. 4.5 read more

Service was outstanding and food was incredible. Definitely a place. I'll go back to the biscuits and gravy were top-notch. The chili was just the right combination of ingredients. The mac & cheese was on point and the bill was very soft on the wallet sat at the counter classic diner atmosphere if you just want good food and a good place to go this is the place. read more

There was a time when Howleys was an oasis but times have changed for the neighborhood for the better. Howleys has, too. First, the food is fresh and delicious. Second, the staff is sweet and helpful. This funky, fun feeling place somehow brings vintage and current together to be its own vibe in the place. My only issue is that it's become quite expensive for a simple breakfast, for example, compared to the perceived funkiness. Is it outside the norm? To other Subculture Group places? No. To diners and breakfast places? Kind of. Is it worth it? If you appreciate good ingredients and a vibe for the money, it definitely is a really good spot. read more

I've been going to Howley's Restaurant for the past year. It is a charming place that makes you feel welcomed once you walk through the doors. The dining area is a mixture of 1950s retro with modern hipster art. The service was excellent. The waitress was very pleasant and informative. My breakfast of waffles was served nice and hot. My side of fruit was fresh and delicious. My hot steaming coffee was served just the way I love it! Lively conversation was shared amongst the staff and my table filled with laughs and many stories. My experience was a positive one. As usual, always a pleasure! I will be going back for more! read more

This has been my go-to breakfast spot for years. The past two weekends have been no different. The goat cheese omelet is to die for and the home fries are the best. The service is always the best; my coffee cup is never below half. I will always recommend Howley's for anyone who wants to visit a cool diner with great food and a kind, hard working staff. read more

After our flights got delayed and had to book an emergency hotel room the night before, we needed something other than airport food to bring us back to life. One quick Yelp search brought us to Howley's Restaurant for brunch, and this West Palm institution lived up to the hype. This old school diner has been around for decades and it shows. Service was quick, polite and prompt. Like any respectable diner, our waiter topped off our coffees without us asking. Howley's Crab Hash -- This breakfast behemoth was loaded with large potatoes, peppers, soft eggs, lumps of crab, and hollandaise. Their rendition on Florida hash brought me back to growing up in Florida. It was hearty and delicious. Served with bacon and toast, I doubt anyone finishes the whole plate. The staff were following COVID-19 protocols, though I wish they spaced out the tables more. We sat in a booth where another party was sitting directly behind us. Other than following social distancing, this was a really great locals-only place for breakfast! read more

Came here with my family yesterday and loved it. The food blew my mind. I got the country fried steak. SO GOOD. & the mac&cheese was truly some of the best I've ever had. Delicious food. Our waitress was awesome as well!! read more

There's always that one place near where you live that will always be your favorite. It may take a while and there may be other favorites but there's always one. Howley's is that for me! They are consistently delivering one-step above flavor in their dishes, it's hard to describe it. It's not just that they get it right but they make you raise your eyebrows a bit after taking that first bite kinda effect, does that make sense?? Haha They also do amazing breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's just a great kitchen, great staff. read more

A perfect lunch! I'm absolutely obsessed with the shepherds pie, it was amazing. The restaurant was tastefully decorated and very on point with the 50's diner theme. Needless to say, I will be back. read more

Yummmmy!! What a fun place to have breakfast/lunch. We both ordered the goat cheese/apple omelet. Yup, delish. I ordered grits with mine. They were ok but pretty lumpy. My G-girl order the potato's with hers and toast so, she was pretty full fast and couldn't finish the omelette. We both had delish cappuccino's however they were warm not hot. Overall a cute little place. read more

Great food and service. Love the decoration inside. Will definitely keep coming back.

My oatmeal was pretty dry, and my açaí Bowl looked like frozen ice cream . I wasn't happy with my breakfast and was very disappointed because they are highly reviewed. The only thing that was good about this establishment was the service. read more

Old school diner. I had the turkey pot pie. Really good, puff pastry across the top and the filling was delicious. Way exceeded my expectations. Wife had Belgian waffle, really good could not eat it all. Nice ambiance and plenty of parking. Attentive service. read more

Service - a milllion I've been in fine dining establishments that couldn't hold a candle to this place. Ambiance - reminded me of the traditional diner of the 70s. Tables weren't crowded together. Very homey and comfortable. Food - I got the tomato bisque. The bowl was so large I couldn't finish it. But the BEST part of my experience was the coconut cake. Without a doubt, the best on the planet!!!!! I WILL be back!!!! read more

I love a 50's dinner. Not one filled with 50's kitsch but restored to how it actually looked in the 1950's. Howley's could not make me happier. Patrick Howley opened the doors of a small diner in 1950. Since then their motto has been "Cooked in sight must be right." Ownership has only changed hands three times. When you walk in the door and see the long counter and pressed tin ceiling you are taken back in time. The restaurant was restored and expanded in 2004 by Rodney Mayo, owner of the Subculture group which owns 17 restaurants and bars. My daughter loves their Respectable Street and I have dined at Hullabaloo and both Sub Culture Coffee Roasters. All of Subculture's businesses are very different and very cool. At Howley's Mayo added a classic Florida room for the dining area and patio seating to increase the capacity. The terrazzo floors and formica topped tables were retained to keep that vintage feel. There are so many reasons to love this place. Breakfast is served all day, they serve beer, wine, and cocktails, they serve a "T.V. dinner" , and they are open to 5 AM on the weekends. Thrillist has named them one of the 21 best diners in the country. You can dine in or get take out. I opted to sit at the counter to get the full diner experience. For dinner I had the patty melt and coffee which is provided by subculture. The patty melt was the best I have ever had. It was so large I had to take half home. I also took home a slice of their coconut cake which was so moist and delicious. Their food lived up to the care of the renovation. Eating at Howleys reminded me of a restaurant I love at Disney Hollywood Studios, 50's Prime Time Cafe. Next time I want to try the Thanksgiving Dinner. Howley's has your comfort food fix. Howley's was recently in the news for distributing thousands of free meals during Covid-19. After he had to lay off his staff, Rodney Mayo turned Howley's into a non profit kitchen distributing hot meals to anyone who was hungry. He got a donation from the city and partnered with the non profit Living Hungry. The community was grateful and while I was eating people were stopping in to give donations and thanks. Howley's serves up incredible food in a historic setting and they give back to the community. Count me in as a fan. read more

I've eaten twice at this funky 1950s diner restaurant. The physical plan is really deceiving because the food is definitely elevated diner food. I definitely recommend this place to anybody for breakfast lunch or dinner. read more

Howley's is the best restaurant in Florida potentially. Been here twice now, both times after 11pm after flying into Palm Beach on late flights. Most recently, Jake and Tyler made our experience A1. They are the guys. Re: food - the big mouth burger is crazy good and the chicken Cesar salad is always the go to. Breakfast is incredible too although haven't tried it yet. I retract my opening statement to be amended as - Howley's will be the best restaurant in Florida ONCE they get some gluten free bread on that menu !! One love read more

Everything was great! Prices are a little high. Breakfast menu is outstanding. Real old-timey feel.

Howley's is a diner with vintage vibes. While there were plenty of open tables, we had a short wait as I believe they were a bit understaffed. No worries but it was a bit drizzly and we had to wait outside. But once we were seated, the culinary adventure started. The menu contained all of the traditional diner foods and then some--including their take on the TV dinner from the 1950's. I opted for the chicken and noodle soup with a matzo ball. It was quite salty but otherwise okay. I had a hankering for the meatloaf, which was also okay. It came with a generous helping of mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes. Gravy came on the side. My hubby got the crab cakes and said they weee excellent (they looked good too!) Service was good despite being short staffed. I think the draw of Howley's is more the atmosphere and experience. read more

Every single staff member @ this place is on point; pleasant and helpful. Food is prepared with the freshest ingredients. Everything was delicious. I believe our waiter's name was "Trevor" - he was great. Place can get very busy; - You get what you wait for ;-) - What else can I say about that. I agree with other reviews here - Burger was truly delicious and tasty. Andrea had a freshly prepared specialty salad with Goat Cheese; - she remarked at how fresh the oranges and nuts in the salad tasted so fresh and delicious. Hoping to return back for breakfast - as what we witnessed looked amazing. A+ read more

Really great diner! Loves everything about it. The style the vibe the music! Service was quick and friendly. And it's very spacious with indoor and outdoor options. While you wait to be seated there us a super tiny mini golf area which we played while we waited. I ordered the crab hash...highly recommend! It was amazing and it had tons of huge crab pieces and the hollandaise sauce really ties it all together. We also had the western omelet and it was loaded! Super yummy and filling. My kid was beyond pleased with her pancakes...very fluffy and quite large...came with eggs and bacon. Overall super satisfying breakfast and great vibe. read more

I absolutely love this place! The food is awesome. The wait staff are phenomenal, and everyone is greeted with a smile! I definitely recommend this fun eating establishment! read more

Old school diner serving oversized portions of quality food. Howleys has been everyones breakfast and late night go to spot for some time now. Featuring large sandwiches, omelets, and even t.v. dinners. My favorite dish, and reason I come so often at breakfast is the pulled pork eggs benedict. It's served over cornbread and never seems to disappoint. Howleys also severs alcohol for those of you who want to keep the late night party going. Used to be open basically 24 hrs a day but closes early due to covid staffing issues. Give them a call for correct hours. Howleys is sure to not disappoint, just be prepared for a box of leftovers to take home. read more

2nd time at Howleys and I'm sure it won't be the last. Had to get the southern Benedict because my friend said it was best brunch she's ever had and couldn't agree more. Had a tangy Carolina barbecue sauce on it that I loved over cornbread. Cornbread for breakfast? Yes please. Can attest the crab Benedict and crab had are also phenomenal! Pancakes fluffy! Open kitchen too and food came out super fast! Wait staff great and efficient :) try to this place out for breakfast or brunch! read more

Poor service and the food was not good! How can you mess up pancakes but they did! Nice place that's all the good I can say.

I like Howley's as a go-to...we generally enjoy our frequent visits to Howley's...but what happened the other night was simply stupid on the part of our server...I ordered a specific sandwich and our server came back with a description that I objected to...I told her- do not chop up the corned beef and turkey in my combo reuben...I want slices of corned beef and turkey in the reuben...nobody chops up corned beef and turkey in a sandwich...that's dumb...so what showed up on my plate?...chopped up corned beef and turkey in my combo reuben...chopped corned beef is for corned beef hash...not a sandwich...and chopped up turkey...turkey salad? and the saurkeruat and cheese were MIA in the sandwich....the server did nothing to alleviate the obvious mistake...and with an attitude...and then Howley's charged me more on my credit card statement than I actually signed and agreed to when I signed my credit card bill...WTF...and if you're interested, I left a decent tip although my server had a total attitude when she delivered the check. Post script...all is good...credit card company posted early incorrect amount...which was corrected before I paid...and...had a very nice conversation with Jes, the manager...she was very attentive and apologetic regarding the great chopped corned beef and turkey debacle...and was sincere in her wanting to make things right next time we're at Howley's...which will be soon...it's still a go-to for casual dining in WPB/PB... read more

Such a great way to step back in time. What a cool spot to grab simple foods that taste really good. Love all the pop culture decor, currently with a ton of Halloween pop culture all around too! The hostess was friendly and we got a table for our family of 5 immediately on a mid-morning Saturday. Our server was friendly and efficient. I do appreciate when a server offers to bring the kids' food out first and knows how to set a cup away from their grabby hands. The acai bowl, which was my teen's only request, was well made and full of good stuff. The kids' breakfast plate was the perfect size for my 9-year old. The husband got a breakfast quesadilla and said it was tasty, but he still split some hot cakes with our teen! Momma's Hotcakes is a big plate. I had the Howley's Special with French Toast and Veggie Breakfast Sausage, and it was pure comfort. My over-medium eggs could've been cooked a little more evenly, but it was still good. The Veggie sausage was tasty, and the fact that it was available was great. And the toast was simple and tasty. Seriously, it's all comfort foods! The coffee is definitely old fashioned diner coffee though, so I recommend grabbing juice instead. read more

My stomach hurt. I'm sick from one bite. Never have I ever experienced this before frozen shrimp too much cheese cold cheese I had to vomit could not receive a refund. Manager said she lost my receipt. Did not want to help me make my order very rude. I asked for chicken as well. They told me it would be $25 for three piece. I work very hard 13 hours a day I don't feel like they care about the customers health and well-being. Very strange customer service I'm sick on my way to the hospital. Scared to eat anything else traumatized they threw the check at me, slammed it on the table. I used to come here a lot. They used to be good now I will never spend a dime on this street because I'm scared of getting sick. I don't know what else to do at this moment, but I do know I need to warn any any other hard workers that they don't care about our health. They serve us cold food and they rush us to make our order while the restaurant is empty I'm very nice guy, and I brought my very nice girl out to eat not knowing what to expect next I could never predict this will happen to me. Why why why why why it's gonna take me about six hours to think about eating anything else or drinking anything else my stomach hurts really bad. I'm scared Scarred it breaks my heart. I've been coming here for years, but I would never put the car on driving head so they are establishment me. I don't want any more hospital bills I don't deserve this. read more

This place is an artsy-retro-hipster-Jewish diner Yes it is all those things. The art on the walls is poppy and modern. It's just a cool spot. No microwave.

Delightful! read more

Once upon a time, there was a diner revival with a smoking-good kitchen, hipster heartwarming 50's vibe, and enough tattooed wait staff to give it street cred. A decade-and-a-half or so later, the menu is as stale as the horrifically poorly cooked food is served. Wait staff is an endangered species. Where once was four or more, there are now three, scrambling on busy days. The menu here is a little like the game "Telephone:" The first kid says something, and passes it to the next one. By the time you get to the other end, the phrase sounds nothing like the one that started. The chefs here have had much the same problem. The menu is so removed from anyone that created it, that it's hit a level of abject soullessness. The last few times I've tried to eat here have been huge fails. The once-awesome Crab Benedict overcooked, and with a thick, gluey sauce. Likewise, the tomato bisque is so thick, full of some really awful starch, that you can put some on your spoon, turn it upside down, and it will stick to the spoon. SOUP. Stuck. Upside down. Grilled cheese is a pretty 101 dish. Burned bread. Left sitting on the heatlamps while the fries get made, long enough so it's nice and hard inside. Even the pickle was old, and limp. Not like it was overcooked, but like someone took an old pickle, already soft, and then brined/cured it. If the spinach artichoke dip, full of chunks of canned artichoke, wasn't gross enough, there is a superfat quality to it that gives it just a disgusting mouthfeel, atop fried pita bread triangles. When this dish rolled out, it was rockin'. Today, it's a distant version that is beyond hope. One of my old faves, the chicken parm, had mercilessly dry chicken, with overcooked, darker breading. Noodles were mush. The small bar is sparse, compared to its usual stocking. Wine too. Gone are the containers with cakes and pies. Espresso? Gone. It just seems like Subculture, the ownership group, has given up on this place, or just assume that the patrons will eat anything shoved under their nose. The dining rooms are still legit 50's cool, with local art that takes the place in a pretty wild direction, visually. The service is excellent, but the servers clearly look worn out, and overworked. Yes, COVID has ravaged staffing, but it's more than that. They deserve better product, and more support, like a busser to help them keep their hands out of dirty plates, and then have to pick up check wallets, more new food, etc. Better food makes for fewer complaints. The half-assed stuff coming out of the kitchen is no surprise. What this place needs is a reboot. New chef. Decade late menu overhaul. People who care about the new cuisine. In their kitchen's game of "telephone," the word "amazing" has migrated to "sad." read more

Visited for the first time recently and were ushered to an unappealing table. We asked the hostess for a different table and she said that they want to ensure the waitstaff have enough tables blah, blah, blah. I'm the customer, I'm coming in to spend money in a place that's less than 50% full and they can't accommodate me? Also, the decor was so dated and kind of grimy overall. I'm glad we ultimately walked out. Not a fan! read more
