    Was probably my favorite breakfast place we went to spending a week in the area. Extremely well priced. The food was exactly what you expect from a good diner. Our service was great. And the spot itself has such a cool old vibe. Cheers!

    We went to lighthouse diner and had the best hangover meal ever (LOL). Our server was the sweetest and was very attentive to the lots of coffee we had to drink. The ambiance was open and friendly. Definitely an inviting energy and we will be back soon!

    It's a diner- but a good one. Lots of choices on the menu. Everything looks good in breakfast sort of way. Smoked Salmon in-house. Good home fries. Good home made sausages. Good, friendly service. Clean layout and interesting old world art on the walls. The biggest issue is finding the place. Looks nothing special from outside really is rather special. Indoor seating goes into a large back room and outside seating available.

    Special breakfast of day: poached eggs over steak over yuca, served alongside home fries, with a verde sauce.

    I came here a few times in years past and remembered a large menu and a bar with vodka and oj. This morning, however, I had a very good early morning breakfast sans alcohol. It gets crowded for breakfast, especially on weekends, so 8:30 was a smart time to arrive. The four of us were seated immediately and got our menus and drink order taken. Our friendly server announced the two specials, and I chose one. It was steak with two poached eggs over yuca -- a version of eggs Benedict, only instead of Hollandaise it came with a verde sauce. We did not have to wait too long for our food. My sister in law was happy with her vegetable omelet and home fries (the home fries are cut as fat rectangles, as opposed to small chunks of potato). My brother loved his country breakfast hash, recommended by our server when he asked her opinion. It's two fried eggs, brisket hash, apples and chilis in a cast iron skillet. He said he enjoyed it more than he thought he would, and the apples added a great touch. Mine was very good. I requested the steak medium rare. The yuca I ignored as it didn't do it for me, but with home fries and rye toast I didn't need it. We left full and content. I drove half an hour from West Palm, but if I lived closer I'd definitely have a breakfast there once a month or so.

    In for Tuesday breakfast to meet up with some friends. Good spot, ample parking, nice menu with lots of options as well specials. Promptly seated - drink orders taken and the coffee was timely refilled Meals came out hot and no issues. Good friendly service oh and they have a bar seating area that's nice as well.

    While in town, I have been searching for good / different breakfast spots so decided to take a 30 min drive down south to check out the Lighthouse Diner. Diner? Was not honestly thinking diner food but I cannot believe the luck I found by stopping in and giving it a try based solely on other people's reviews. Situated across from Jupiter Island Colony south, at base of inlet and here you have the Lighthouse Diner. Walked in, a little busy and for good reason, sat at the bar and met my newest friend Kevin the bartender. NY grit and charisma, an awesome bartender / personality, I ordered their Bloody Mary (had to start the day off right of course)....I was on "cation"...met a lot of locals, non stop clientele. Extensive menu, friendly staff, cool old school diner feel, amazing food. I ordered the FGT Benedict, well, truly amazing. Two poached eggs over a green fried tomato topped with fresh arugula, bacon, and red pepper chow chow (pickled red pepper, not hot) with fresh fruit bowl. On my second Bloody Mary, I also ordered my usual coffee black and their insanely fresh squeezed orange juice. It was truly a culinary experience and cannot wait to go back. I think I found my new favorite spot that is worth the drive and all the hype.

    Breakfast menu.

    We have been here a couple of times before but not recently. Went today for breakfast. Large dining area. Deceiving from outside. Sat right away. I ordered the lighthouse breakfast sandwich and it was amazing. Wife ordered scrambled eggs, bacon, toast. Everything was very good. Coffee service was a little weak. Would definitely return.

    The Lighthouse Diner is a Jupiter landmark. Located on U.S. 1 and Beach Road across from the Jupiter Lighthouse, the Jupiter Diner opened in the early 1950's. It has been a popul.ar community gathering place and it had a long run of making memories until it closed in 2009. Thankfully the Jupiter Lighthouse was saved when it was purchased by three brothers from Queens, Ryan, Rich and Kevin Perez. At first they planned on leasing the building out. When they learned how much the Lighthouse Diner meant to Jupiter, the brothers with restaurant experience in NY decided to reopen the old diner in 2014. Their goal was to retain the nautical spirit of the previous diner while giving it an update. The original booths were reupholstered in grey with white stripes while the U-shaped counter was given more stools. Historical black-and-white photos of Jupiter are on the walls along with vintage TV show and movie posters. There are even picnic tables on the patio. The result is a refreshed diner with a retro feel. I stopped in for lunch but the Lighthouse Diner offers an all day breakfast. The menu features eggs benedict, breakfast specialties, omelettes, salads, sliders, melts, sausages, sandwiches, burgers, home cooked meals, sides, homemade pies, shakes, cocktails, craft brews, and fresh squeezed juice. They have $10 daily dine specials and they do catering. For lunch I ordered a classic BLT. Crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes and toasted bread is the ultimate comfort food. My sandwich was served was some excellent steak fries. Service was great and so was the food. I love the classic American diner vibe here. I'm so glad the Lighthouse Diner was brought back to delight a new generation of customers.

    We came here with a few friends for brunch. The place has an old school diner vibe and it is pretty big inside with ample seating. Our server was quick and very nice. I had a mimosa which was strong and make with fresh squeezed OJ. Yum! I had a shrimp po boy which was delicious. Wish they hadn't ran out of hoagies. We shared the banana foster which was very good and not overly sweet. Overall a great place to grab a bite and everything in the menu is available all the time.

    Dont let the word diner fool you, the food here is delicious! Restaurant is huge. Service was great. Only complaint was the bathroom was disgusting like an old run down gas station that no one ever cleaned. One of the toilets were literally backed up

    Smokin Hash Omlette, cheese grits, and sourdough

    Hands down the best grits in the area, nice and creamy! The smokin hash omelette was tasty, the creole drizzle on top added a flavorful boost and if you like jam, you have to try their homemade jam! Server was very nice as well! I also enjoy the old style diner feel when eating there!

    Excellent breakfast well prepared.

    Went around 8:30 a.m. got the breakfast special with a drink $11 everything was wonderful sat at the bar Doreen took care of me who was very pleasant. After being at the ripper places in Jupiter I highly recommend going up a few miles cross over the bridge on US1 it's on the left if you go right you're going to Jupiter Island. It's was famous for Perry Como going there in years past. It's still very low profile.

The coconut French toast was delicious and sweet enough w the coconut n syrup, did not need the powdered sugar. The country fried steak had lots of sausage, the steak a bit too thin, tasting mainly of breading...good but not great. Hash browns ok definitely not crispy enough for my liking.

I noticed they had quite a few dishes with kielbasa and polish themes, I'll have to go back to try some of those. The burrito was large and came with lettuce, tomato, salsa and sour cream. There was also a heaping pile of hash browns that were nicely fried. The burrito was good and quickly devoured. The people sitting next to me ordered and egg white burrito and omelet, both were large and enjoyed by them. Service was good but I never got a refill on my coffee, for a breakfast place that was a little sad but I survived. Overall it seemed like a decent breakfast spot.

The restaurant is located in a plaza, so parking was easy and convenient. From the outside, the restaurant looks adorable. Once inside, it's a bit smaller than expected, but still charming. My biggest issue was how close the tables were to one another. I genuinely felt like I was having breakfast with the families seated on either side of us. The tables were so close that I could have reached over and grabbed something off their plates if I wanted to. It made the experience feel cramped and lacking in privacy. The service was decent and our food was just okay. I ordered the French toast, which I enjoyed and thought was pretty good. My boys both ordered pancakes and complained that they were dry and needed a lot of syrup--we actually had to ask for extra syrup to make them more enjoyable. My husband's hash browns were overcooked, while mine were undercooked, so consistency seemed to be an issue. That said, we made the best of it and still enjoyed spending time together. While this wasn't a place that wowed us enough to return, I'm glad we took the chance and tried somewhere new. Sometimes that's part of the fun of exploring local restaurants.
