We went here for dinner our first night staying in West Palm and liked it so much we went back for brunch the next day. Our flight arrived late. We decided to find a good finer since they are usually fast. A friend recommended Howley's. We saw the Yelp reviews. Together, these said we should go - so we did. We ate outside for dinner. It was cool but comfortable. The service was surprisingly good since we were the only people on their patio. Their menu was good, but limited if you can't have gluten or milk products. They don't offer gluten-free bread. They do offer a chopped steak, so I decided on that. Others in my party had their brisket special and a Nathan's Hot Dog. I was the only big eater at the table. I finished my steak, then polished off what was left of the hot dog (sans bun) and the brisket. Everything was really good. {grin} The breakfast was equally good, but no picture that time. Howley's seems to be a consistently good place. Their prices are reasonable for the quality of food they serve. And the service is great. It We are planning another trip to the area next winter. Howley's will be on our dinner list! read more

I was looking for a dinner to have brunch prior to visiting the Norton Museum last Saturday. (It is free to Palm Beach County residents in the summer months). Howley's was just down the road from the Norton so I went there with my wife and our best friends. Since it has been open since 1950 and the reviews are off the charts we decided to eat there. Out waitress Stacy made it a great first visit, she obviously loves her job! The food and service were outstanding and it was the best cup of coffee that I have had in a long time. I can't wait until we go back! read more

My cousin flew into W Palm from NJ early morning and we usually find a breakfast stop on our way back to my place. New Jersey has a diner on every corner and I had read reviews about Howleys and made the suggestion. Our first impression of the interior was definitely an old diner with memorabilia of days gone by. We were seated immediately and the server delivered coffee in wonderful large cups. We ordered an unusual dish on the menu, a southern style Benedict. of cornbread topped with pulled pork, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce with a side of fruit. We both agreed it was a good idea to share this huge portion. It tasted better than it looked. The hollandaise sauce had a mustard base and was perfect as a dressing on the meal. The fruit cup was fresh and had a good fruit combo. Prices were fair and parking was easy around back. We had plenty of coffee and left satisfied. It was a good choice. read more

This place was great! Not touristy or fancy and reminded me of old diners in a good way. Other patrons seemed like locals and there was nothing eye catching about the decor but it was clean and comfortable. Service was excellent. Be warned though that portions were huge! I had meatloaf, mashed potatoes & onion rings. Wife had hot cakes and I have seen birthday cakes that were smaller. Flavor of all was terrific and we could not finish everything. We will definitely eat here again when passing through. read more

Nothing great to report at Howley's. Super slow service although our waitress was nice. I mean it took so long to be waited on and then forever for the food to come. The atmosphere is no big deal. The food so so. I don't see the reason it's busy. read more

Great place, classic American food. Very no frills homemade taste and feel to the restaurant. It's in a small cozy location and staff are friendly as are the patrons. The food was okay and the cocktails also were pretty simple but good. I'd go back. There is a decent kids menu too and my toddler was able to have the grilled cheese without an issue in that the bread was nice and soft and cheese was perfect. The Frankenstein decor for Halloween was successful at freaking my kid out too. Funny not funny lol. Go try them. Live and love. read more

Great spot! Been so far for breakfast and lunch. Service didn't make you feel rushed. Has a nostalgic diner vibe.

Food is phenomenal... BUT the blue haired hostess with the half shaved head and bangs is absolutely rude. We walked right out after she was incredibly rude. She doesn't understand what customer service is. read more

Unfortunately, it's not what it used to be. Howley's that is. This used to be a reliable restaurant. Good food, good service. Consistent. Not anymore. My last two visits, have been mediocre at best. Today I had the Southern Benedict The poached eggs were overcooked, the home fries, stale, and cold. The cappuccino tasted like powdered mix. My girlfriend's pancakes weren't any better. Sadly, as I said, Howley's isn't what it used to be. The typical Sunday morning crowd wasn't there either. I'm thinking, word must be out. read more

I can't decide which one was worse the food or the service.Which is surprising because it wasn't busy and we've been here many times and had a good experience.But unfortunately todays server was inattentive all though the place was half empty.When she came to the table she was slightly rude, she took our drink order and didn't return for about 20 minute.In that time frame we were deciding to leave due to the multiple flys roaming , how long it took for the food to come out.When the food did come out, it was hard and cold.Then to top it off there was avocado on my toast despite me not ordering avocado.The scrambled eggs were undercooked and lacked seasoning.The only good thing was my nephews pancakes until the fly landed on them.For the food to be so expensive I'd expect better service. read more

Great local spot- service is always friendly- their shrimp and grits is fantastic - half price drinks for happy hour is always fun!

This place can fill up fast, so keep in mind an average of about 15-30 minutes for a seat during prime times. Serving portions here are huge, prices are not. All of the food we ordered was tasty and above average quality. The whole staff is a pleasure to work with. They offer all day breakfast and as an added bonus they are open until 12am. Located right off of US1. They have outdoor seating (limited) and an additional parking area behind the restaurant. This place has 1950's Old Florida style through and through. They have friend green tomatoes, how good is that? Food was served quickly. Worth a try for sure. read more

Just arrived in WPB from NY and happened upon Howleys. My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with our find! The spinach and artichoke dip with baked pita was a fabulous start! I loved my veggie burger and hubby had the roast beef sandwich. Great service and very friendly! Reasonable prices!! You can even donate to dog rescue- owners passion. We can't wait to return! read more

First time going to Howley's for breakfast. The ambience is very nice and the restaurant staff were very welcoming. Nice outdoor and indoor seating areas. The food was delicious and prepared the exact way I wanted it. The orange juice was not fresh squeezed as described, and service was a little slow.. but overall nice place for breakfast. Would recommend to anyone in the west Palm Beach area wanting to try something new! read more

The receptionist and waitress's were very friendly but very disappointed with our breakfast. My potatoes were not only stale but room temperature, my toast was cold and the butter was even colder. It's very difficult to spread solid butter on cold toast. My omelette was soso nothing to shout about. For the employees 5-stars the food 2. My wife's BLT was lacking the B part of it. Overall was hoping for Better. read more

Amazing!! The vibes at Howley's are always good, very retro and kind of funky. Servers have always been welcoming and willing to help with any questions. We have been there twice and i definitely prefer their breakfast options over lunch. Both times food has been delicious and tasted homemade. The fried chicken was perfectly seasoned, however the creole sauce in the shrimp and grits was overpowering the whole dish. My partner loved the burrito and sweet potato fries. Breakfast was amazing! The Eggs Howley's were very tasty, i would recommend getting this more as a brunch meal since it can be kind of heavy for breakfast. The grits were creamy and cheesy, and the corn muffin was pretty sweet but well balanced if you add butter. Coffee was great, and we had a great server who made jokes and was hilarious. Will definitely be back (before 1pm) to try more of the breakfast items. read more

Howley's is a unique spot to say the least. The long grill right when you walk in takes you back to the diners of yesterday and breakfast served all day brings that comforting nostalgia. The breakfast is really good, but my favorite thing is actually their Caesar Salad. The dressing is homemade and you can definitely taste the difference. The staff is friendly, but not over the top. read more

Just before Jack cut down the beanstalk, Max and I climbed our way to the top to see what the fuss was about. This place is massive on all levels. The to go tin pans will seal the deal if you had any doubts. Looking for unique restaurants? This is the place. Jessica was our server and her personality was beyond gigantic. Sit on the bar stools to get an education on how to cook. They were a well oiled machine with some calling out for help and the entire team went into recovery mode. The food packs a flavorful punch. Max and I left like stuffed kings and queens. read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy! Karen and I took the last space in a very crowded and tight parking lot. After a short wait for a table. Our waitress greeted us and continued the awesome service continued through out our meal. Then menu was filled with yummy comfort food. My Mac and cheese was amazing. You have to try this gem read more

Great lunch/brunch spot! Visited while in from out of town. Great food and service! Crab cake app was my favorite!

You know you're at a great spot when they're super busy! It was definitely worth the wait! There's an outdoor mini golf area and connect four to pass the time. The interior is filled with memorabilia and cool artwork which fit the diner vibes. The waitress was super friendly and made the whole dining experience wonderful. I got the country fried steak and boy were the portions amazing! Will definitely stop back again! read more

I will start by saying if the only thing you get is the cocoanut cake then your trip was worth it! If you're full, take a piece to go because you will not be disappointed! The staff was friendly and helpful, the food was good and reminiscent of diner food but will a more home cooked feel. The building doesn't look like much inside or out, but the food and the service make up for it. If you're in the area this is a great low key place to try. read more

4th of July deliciousness was the fare at Howley's last evening. I had the Brisket Burrito, and it was amazing. A multitude of astounding flavors were had with every bite. One of the best meals I've eaten in a while. Nice to not have to prepare anything in the kitchen today. If you're looking for amazing and delicious cuisine, this is your place! read more

Found Andrew to be very curt and unfriendly. The ambiance was cute and unique, but I wish we got a different server. It was not busy when we went, but perhaps he was having a bad day. Would not care to have him as our server again. read more

I love this place, if you're not sure what you're craving this is a good place to go. Lots of different options to choose from for a reasonable price. The ambiance and retro and laid back. I love that they sell paintings. If it's too cold inside they have nice quiet outside seating. Their mozzarella sticks have a great cheese pull :) read more

Ambiance (5/5): This is your classic diner atmosphere but with an open kitchen, outdoor dining, and also decorated with retro themes like Simpsons, Mario, Spy v Spy etc. In the front, there's mini golf courses to keep you entertained while you wait. The space is large enough that it doesn't feel crowded and the noise levels were appropriate. Family-friendly. Service (4/5): Our large party of 6 arrived around 10:30AM and we were seated immediately! We were served fairly quickly. Food: Crab Hash (3/5): I wanted something different and the hash came with several bite size pieces of crab. The platter comes with potatoes, peppers, slices of bacon, and toast. The serving size was great but the taste was just meh. read more

While visiting family in West Palm Beach mid March, we ate lunch inside at Howley's. The food and service were great. While staying at our hotel, we decided to place a Door Dash order for dinner one night. Following the driver online, it showed him driving all around our hotel but never stopping. Eventually he showed the order delivered and the photo of where he delivered it was a vacant lot. Not having received this order, we decided to place the order again. After a few minutes a very nice lady from Howley's called us and said they were following up as our order was the same as one picked up earler. We explained what happened and without hesitation she said they were going to send out the order to us again at no charge. The order arrived as promised and was hot and good! To us this showed the customer oriented service Howley's gives and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for good food in a friendly environment. Thank you Howley's from your now San Antonio fans. read more

I have been here for the second time and the food was perfect. I know Sunday it could be busy, especially during mother's day. But it was worth the wait! I will go back in a heartbeat!! The service was amazing. Our server was excellent and the best part was that she was quoting the Grinch. The service is reliable, kind, and patient. The atmosphere is different from any other dinner I have been to. They have a big connect four game outside and a small mini golfing area. Inside is loud and busy. Reminds me of home and the art work is amazing. This place will give you the best experience! read more

A shoutout to Howleys, our server Tuesday, and the kind man who cleaned up our mess when we spilled our coke. We come here every year when we come down to Florida from Buffalo. The food is fantastic, the menu is quite fun, and the servers are fantastic. Plus the place is quirky and fun. Thank you all! Don't miss this place! read more

I'm giving this place only 2 stars because my poached eggs were overcooked, more like hard-boiled eggs, and had to be remade. The home fries had been left on the grill to stay warm but were barely warm by the time they reached my table. The hollandaise sauce was decent, but they went overboard with the paprika. The only highlights were the friendly server and the strong coffee. read more

Brought my BF here for Sunday breakfast. I got the crab cake eggs benny and the hollandaise sauce was so good. It is pretty rich so I did not finish the whole dish. Definitely recommend it!
