The crab cake was fantastic! I had to order it because it was voted "best in county" and noted to be a specialty on the menu! It was delicious! We also had the deviled eggs and the Patty melt- both also amazing! The only thing is the service was slow, but so worth the wait for the food!! read more

The worst food experience ever! The French dip was so chewy and didn't come with cheese, dry dry dry! The champagne was corked but we were told that's the way it normally tastes. It's a $17 bottle at total wine but they charged $56! Overall just a huge disappointment for a $200 Lunch! read more

Best restaurant in West Palm Beach!!! The crab cakes are absolutely amazing! Amazing environment!

Laid back service and delicious food make this lil diner perfect. Oh and the coconut cake is a must.

Stopped in for lunch yesterday with my daughter and son-in-law have not been here in many years. The appearance of the inside seem for you run down and kept in a little dirty. Food was good though my burger was delicious. I don't know if I go back again till they clean it up read more

Once again, the Howley's kitchen out-did itself by preparing another awesome late night meal! It was so good that one of our friends ordered the exact same meal for takeout to allow their partner to enjoy as well! The takeout was a warm roasted Turkey off the bone sandwich. read more

I absolutely loved this very artistically decorated diner for lunch today. I arrived a little past the lunch hour, and yet they were very busy. I was seated promptly and given a menu with so many great options. The lovely server recommended the Chef Salad with the housemade Blue Cheese dressing and the Ranch dressing. This was probably the best chef salad I had ever had. The tomatoes were very fresh along with the cucumber slices and hard boiled egg. The best was the fresh cooked meats and Swiss cheese. It was so simple yet so deliciously healthy with the spinach leaves and other mixed greens. I took home some of my leftover salad for lunch the next day. It was a generous portion which equaled it reasonable price. My friend had the open face meatloaf on a slice of toast with fries. The gravy poured on top dripped down onto the plate, which was perfect for soaking it up with the Fries. Service was great, and I will definitely definitely be back to try so many more of the delicious menu items. read more

Howley's Restaurant was a delicious breakfast! I ordered the Spanish omelet, and it was the perfect combination of chorizo, peppers, cheese, egg, and onion. The service was quick, and the waitress was nice. The restaurant itself is a diner, so there are lots of vintage lights, ceilings, and decor, which I loved! Overall, I would come dine again! read more

Howley's has become a go-to for us when traveling back from central Florida back to Fort Lauderdale, when we're wanting to hit somewhere out of town for a change. The ambience and servers all give off more alternative vibes (and thus way more comfortable) than what I usually experience in the area, and cheap PBRs are always welcome. Dogs are welcome outside, which is always a relief as we are often traveling with our pup. The artichoke dip has become a must, we were recommended it on our first visit and it gets ordered every time now. It's definitely filling, even when splitting between the two of us, which means a good chunk of my entree usually comes home with me. read more

Sat at counter and ordered Reuben and Chicken Fried Steak. Food and coffee was decent except some fries under cooked. Frozen steak fried, it seems. Good size portion. Waitress never checked on us. Had to ask for our food we could see sitting at window. Trying to get someone's attention for check. read more

Ugh... I really hate to not love this place. It has such great potential, but fell flat. The host was amazing & the bright spot in the visit. Our waitress seemed put out to wait on us. She took our order & then we never saw her again until she brought the check. We needed stuff in between, but we had to ask the host for help. We got 2 breakfast orders, 1 burger, & 1 sandwich. Simple stuff that took a long time to come. The food was okay. The breakfast orders were fine, but the others were just bad. The sandwich was said to have no flavor. Then the burger was said to be bad & upset the person's stomach. Just wanted to live the vibe & it wasn't it. The place needs work. It looks old & dirty. The bathrooms are terrifying. read more

Highly touted by my family it's not bad my breakfast waffle was one of their signature dishes not so limp tasteless asked for very crisp undercooked however dishes around me looked good and my wife's burger was good read more

The ambiance is 1950's diner. This place opened in 1950 and it's still serving food, so it must be good. That's what I thought before we went in. I had an Arnold Palmer to drink... the tastiest AP ever. Then a cup of chicken matzoh ball soup... to die for. Including the fresh horseradish. Finally, a grill cheese sandwich with tomato and bacon on Texas toast. I can still taste it in my dreams. Took a chance on this place and hit the taste jackpot!! read more

A great 59's style diner with excellent home cooked food, served fresh. Service is great. A gem

This diner style restaurant has been around forever... and is known for it's late night eats and comfort food. My husband was craving meatloaf or pot pie or the like and this restaurant popped up on Yelp as having both. Located on the east side of federal highway, they were a bit busy when we got there for dinner on a Friday night. They have a little golfing green practice hole area right outside the front door. And a container with some golf clubs. Too cute. Their inside seating is either the counter, a booth or a table; and they even had an outside patio if you wish to "dine" al fresco. Come casual as this is a down home kinda place. The menu is large with lots of breakfast items for all day plus sandwiches, salads, and dinners. They have a daily soup of the day, vegetable of the day, and "tv dinner" entree of the day. I just decided to get a hot dog and fries. The all beef dog was larger than expected and was prepared well done, as requested. Even the fries also came crispy, as requested. The only downside on the plate was a sad looking pickle spear past it's prime. No worries, I didn't even finish half my meal. I was saving room for dessert. My husband had their turkey pot pie. Gorgeously presented with a large rectangle of puff pastry. This was light and airy to eat and sat on top of a mixture of large chunks of white meat turkey, celery, carrots, and peas in a cream base. It was very very good. For dessert, we shared their white coconut cake. It hit the spot. We had a few bites and took that home along with half of each of our meals. We had good and friendly service, although she was quite busy -- so this was not fast food dining. I'd definitely come back here again -- to have that pot pie, or to try one of their many breakfast offerings. Even their burgers looked good! read more

This is always a good choice. The variety of dishes is impressive and everything has been good for years. The staff is always helpful and friendly and lost have been there for years. The art on the walls is mostly for sale if you like something. Because of this it rotates out regularly which adds to the ambiance. read more

I loved the service, our waiter had a great sense of humor and provide excellent service. Started off with a fantastic Bloody Mary and got the pulled pork Benedict. The cornbread was soft and sweet and the pork was melting apart. Cool old school diner tucked away from it all. read more

This is a local, treasure. My guess is Howley's is a landmark set in the art district of WPB. It's a 50's style diner that has flare, ambiance, and style. This is a classic american greasy spoon which means the food is awesome. You can have breakfast/brunch/lunch. I went all out with an American breakfast and added some biscuits and gravy. Food is well priced and portions are appropriate. They also have the added benefit of a nice selection of liquors for drinks such as bloody Mary's, and others. They also offer different microbrews. Alcohol prices were higher than expected in my opinion. I don't think our server liked us too much after I asked if there was any drink specials. Oh well, overall....Howleys is a piece of history that I'm glad has found it's way through the decades. A great dining experience and interesting art to look at and converse over or buy if you are inclined. Definitely would like return for the comfort food! read more

Howley's Restaurant - a view of the dining room - Diners Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

Five of us went for lunch at 1:30. The service was welcoming and attentive. Frankenstein was at our table in the corner. It kind of freaked me out because his clothes were very dirty. Most were happy with their food. Very good brisket sandwich, sweet potato fries and regular fries were both delicious. Great crab cakes and turkey Ruben but the turkey club sandwich tasted like it had come straight from the refrigerator. The toast was cold and soggy and the bacon was not even a bit warm. Would try it again but I'd order something else. The 5 of us hadn't seen each other in a long time and it was nice that the servers didn't rush us to leave. read more

Its a diner, so I can't give 5 stars, but its a GREAT diner as I come from the home of diners...NJ. Awesome food variety and service, esp by Tyler and de c or and atmosphere. We had the best onion rings, home fries, Spanish omelet and shrimp salad on rye, all sooo good! read more

Food was fantastic!!!! We had gone here pre-pandemic. Nothing has changed. Just as good. Server (,Jake) was great. He greeted us as well as the hostess.

I was here at 10am today (Saturday). The restaurant was very busy as it was the breakfast/brunch hour. I was immediately greeted at the door with a wonderful smiling hostess, who walked us immediately to a table. A few SECONDS later, our server , Shannon, greeted us. I ordered a breakfast special. The eggs were cooked absolutely PERFECT and the pancakes were made to excellence. The service is amazing and they made us feel like VIPs. The delightful manager, Jes, came by twice and asked us how everything was. They truly care about their customers here. Highly recommend even if you're riding solo. I will 100% be back. read more

Howley's continues to be a leader in the community and helping others. During my quick visit I met Al the Dog who has special access rights----he was a joy to brighten any morning. It was a steak and eggs for breakfast and the staff-recommended fried chicken dinner before I flew away. I honestly could not finish the dinner and had to take a doggie-bag (Al had left). If you have never ventured in, they are open late again. If you can not decide, ask the staff. I highly recommend their Thanksgiving Day meal, served everyday. And now, the fried chicken. Everything is cooked fresh like home. No microwave. read more

Howley's Restaurant - Meet Al. He needs to teach my Tabitha this. - Diners Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

Service was a 15/10 - great recommendations and so friendly! The egg rolls are a MUST - these are marry me egg rolls. Exploding with flavor in every bite and very generous portion! Very innovative Rueben was also great!!! And patty melt was decent but not the best patty melt I've ever had probably not in my top 5 so if it's between the patty melt and something else maybe choose something else. Maybe this is picky but it bothers me when patty melts are just a circular burger patty in between bread...I think the beef should be molded into the shape of the bread so you can have meat in every bite and the patty isn't sliding around. Onion rings and fries both kinda lame ngl....weak sides. Ambiance was so pleasant though, just a really nice happy diner vibe! Super cute wallpaper in the bathroom too. read more

Howley's Restaurant - Onion Rings Patty Melt rueben - Diners Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

This claim to fame about this place is it's an ''old time diner''..Well..not really, some 70's-80's art work of movies etc...Food was Meh..ok but nothing to get excited about. Place was fairly crowded for a Saturday afternoon. Service was very good, very friendly, prices are a little nuts though. $6 for a small ice coffee no refills, $3.50 for a very small ice tea again never a refill. The place also needs to be a little cleaner. Over all not bad but would not repeat. read more

We popped in here yesterday for breakfast. It was a bit busy on the Memorial Day holiday, though we only had to wait 15 minutes for a table. There's quite a bit of seating inside and in their outside patio. Decor here is very dated. It just didn't feel clean to me, especially as you walk down to the restrooms; it feels like they just don't care about how everything looks. Our server wore one of those Gaiters, which to me always looks like the person is about to hold up the bank in her wild Wild West. He was pleasant and took our order right away. We went with coffee (no stevia available), the NY strip steak and eggs, and a bacon/mushroom/cheddar omelette. The coffee tasted far too weak, not the greatest. The breakfast entrees were delicious with lots of flavor; hats off to the cooking staff. In summary, poor unsettling decor, but good food. read more

Always love this place, but today I'm eating one of the best BBQ sandwiches I've had in a LONG TIME! Great pork with fried green tomato, pepper jack cheese, and Texas toast. oh, and don't forget the SWEET POTATO FRIES and a Mai Tai to start. This kitschy diner belongs to a restaurant chain that gives back to the community constantly. But the FOOD is authentic and actually, surprisingly, southern. Photos taken in October, not usually this "spooky." read more

Super busy, but what do expect for Sunday @ 11:00 am. Sat at the counter. Staff super personable, talked to the cook and she suggested some dishes for us.
