    Meat lovers Benedict.
    Dianne P.

    You must try the meat lovers Benedict. The eggs are poached perfectly and the bacon is perfect. The sausage is wonderful and the sauce is perfection. The ham is just a thin slice, enough for good flavor. I love supporting local, independently owned places and this fits the bill! Mary will keep your glass or cup full and is attentive. I'll come back to this diner.

    Tried out @oceanadinerjax on Beach Blvd for brunch today and got this monster of an omelette. It's the Mediterranean Omelette made with spinach, onions, tomatoes, and feta. For $0.75 extra, I added sausage. This wasn't an omelette so much as it was a frittata folded in half. With the toast and home fries, this was a huge meal. As huge as it is tasty, Oceana will make sure you don't leave hungry.

    Very busy Sunday- which isn't unusual for most breakfast spots. We managed to hit just before the rush- so we got a table right away. It took a few minutes before the server made it to us and by that point we were ready to order. The food- surely the hit of the show. John ordered an omelet and not only was it huge, it came with a healthy portion of homefries and a biscuit. Made for a very happy man meal. I ordered the Paradise Waffle- a massive waffle with fresh fruit! The menu said bananas and strawberries, but fresh blueberries were on it too and I loved it! The blueberries were HUGE! My waffle wasn't as hot as I would have liked- but John's omelet was steaming. The second half of the meal slowed- I never got a refill of hot water for my tea, actually didn't really even get a chance to stop our server and ask- they were crazy busy. It took some time to get our check and a box for my leftovers. The table next to us (who were there half the time as us) actually stood up and hovered waiting to ask for the check. I can't hold it against them- they were hustling, but go with expectations of a leisurely dining experience. If you are in a rush- this might not be the place for you. My boss frequents this place and said unless you order to-go, this is pretty standard.

    Great food. Great atmosphere. Absolutely 5 stars. Occasionally have live music. I had a meat lover's omelette with extra vegetables and it was perfect.

    Just a classic diner. Simple and straight forward. Not a whole lot to say. Good food. Good service.

    A year ago, I had a family member move here from Virginia. She grew up eating southern comfort foods and I didn't want her to feel soo homesick. I searched on yelp and found this place. We been coming to this establishment over a year now. This place is nothing fancy and the decor is very outdated. But the food is delicious. My mother in law definitely loves the place and the only place where she can order liver and onions. They do also serve breakfast food during dinner. We are glad they recently added desserts to the menu

    Create Your Omelette Breakfast with veggies and provolone cheese

    I've heard mixed reviews about this place and I think I can see why. We decided to order some brunch from a place we haven't been to yet and I chose Oceana. The items on the menu sounded good...a Create Your Own Omelette (mushroom, broccoli, provolone cheese, bacon, tomato, onion, a side of rye bread and grits) and a Seafood Omelette (crabmeat with a "c", shrimp, and hollandaise sauce, a side of grits and rye toast), along with two coffees we chose to order. My CYO Omelette was just meh. Presentation looks like it was just slapped into the container. the cheese was mostly on one half and I didn't feel like there were equal amounts of toppings added. My man's seafood omelette was very disappointing. He may have had 1 or 2 shrimp in his entire omelette and crab may have been overcooked. He still ate it as he didn't feel right to just throw it away. The grits were were fine. We didn't get our toast. I'm not sure if it was just not picked up or if it was simply forgotten, but everything as a whole just made for a not so great experience.

    I highly recommend this diner if you want to start your weekend in a state of sadness. The warning sign as we walked in was only 2 diners on a Saturday morning at 9 am. Penman Diner, Metro Diner, Grumpy's, etc. would be on a wait list. Decor, furnishings and ambience made me feel like I was at Regency Mall. But heck, good food can make up for poor ambience, right? That's what a treasured hole in the wall restaurant is about. Unfortunately, Oceana is just a hole. Chicken and waffles had tasteless chicken and dry waffle. Oceana Benedict had very little meat, just a few crumbles of ground beef, bathed in a sea of hollandaise sauce. Was not asked choice of side, but the home fries spent way too much time in the fryer. Waitress lacked social awareness as she did not inquire about taste of food until we were waiting at the register to get our check, with plates mostly uneaten. Coffee deserves 2 stars out of 5...harsh tasting. Will not be back. Recommend others do not go unless you are on antidepressants.

    It's a solid normal diner I guess. Service was fine. Coffee was good. I didn't get to the bottom, but I'm a slower coffee drinker anyways. Toast was good. Potatoes were good. I feel like the omelette was cooked just a tad too long, but other than that I can't think of anything specific to complain about.

    Now THAT'S a club sandwich! Came here yesterday for lunch and I was absolutely blown away. Club sandwiches are by far my favorite and Oceana Diner hit it out of the park. Can't wait to get one again!

    Omelet with ham, swiss, mushrooms, tomato, onion and spinach.

    Had a yummy breakfast at Oceana. Great diy omelet with lots of good stuff on it, cheese grits and an English muffin, coffee and orange juice. Had to take some home. Everything was delicious. I will definitely come back for more. Good home cooking! They have a good lunch menu also.

    A great brunch spot and the only place without a wait on a Sunday morning! Food was delicious and seasoned perfectly. The food did take a little too long to come out but overall great experience and I would recommend this over any other generic brunch chain to anybody visiting Jacksonville!

It's a typical old fashioned looking diner where you see the cooks behind the counter. There's also a nice little outside covered patio if you'd like to sit outside. Today we had the grilled cheese & fries and their chicken parmesan. Both were really good. There's a lot of chicken in the parm. We also finished it off with their amazing peach tea and the delicious banana pudding bread pudding. The menu had great variety and have never been disappointed.

They greeted me as soon as I walked in, asked the right questions, and made me feel welcome. However, there was a young man who was incredibly rude. The first thing he said to me was, "What are you picking up?" I responded, "Let's start with a hello. How are you?" Instead of acknowledging that, he simply repeated the same question. At that point, I walked over to the ladies, who were extremely kind and helpful. Now, onto the food. I'm genuinely not trying to let my customer service experience influence my opinion, but I have to be honest--the food was pathetic. It lacked seasoning and flavor. Even after adding the salt and pepper packets that came with the utensils, it only made a slight difference. Unfortunately, nothing about the meal would make me want to come back. Even my one-year-old refused to eat it, which meant we had to spend even more money to get food somewhere else. The one highlight was the biscuit. I believe it was homemade, and it was genuinely delicious--probably the best part of the meal. Aside from that, I can't recommend the food based on my experience.

We thought for sure they would make us sit outside in that heat but we got a decent table inside towards middle. We arrived there about 11:40am and table was ready at noon we sat at the table after host seated us for 40 mins before even being offered water or anything. Our waiter (Nicole). Came to table when we first arrived just to tell us she would be with us shortly just for us to wait almost an hour. ATP we are starved and super thirsty. 12:38 she came to table to say "I'll be wit y'all in a few" and looked back to see the table behind us was her table too but came after us. So she finally took our order after realizing we were still waiting patiently. The food came out within 15-18 mins and was fresh. We had no complaints on the food at all other than my grits was a little lumpy. But still a great flavor. Everytime our waiter came back she seemed to be irritated or frustrated, but you shouldn't take that out on the customers specifically ones who have been nothing but kind. After we finished eating she brung a payment book with one receipt and said "is it ok that it's all on one receipt?" But it was more like she was telling us and didn't ask before hand and didn't even let us answer. She sat the receipt down and just walked out as we were answering. We planned to have 3 different checks because we were going separate ways. I called the manager over and he fixed it immediately and apologized for that. Some people just don't need to work in customer service. I get people have bad days but that was a bad experience for our first time there. Everyone else was super sweet except her. Atleast our food was good. Her customer service is definitely a 4/10. Even the table behind us was upset and requested a refund on the food. I would definitely go back just wouldn't want her as a server!

The hash browns were more tender less crispy but were seasoned well. I really liked the corned beef hash omelette too! Given we were seated at the bar, we encountered most of the staff as they came to grab drinks and food from the kitchen and everyone was super friendly. Saying hi and making small talk as they waited on a payment to process or as they grabbed coffee for their customer. It felt very welcoming and cool. If you haven't been, I recommend adding it to your list, especially if you want a break from chain eateries.
