    Surfside Diner is such a cute little spot with a great vibe. Seating is limited, so be prepared to sit at the counter even on weekdays but that honestly adds to the charm. I'm not much of a breakfast person myself, but my friends really enjoyed their meals, especially the eggs Benedict. Service is quick but that's about it. Overall, a solid four-star experience and a fun place to check out!

    Power Start (breakie) with French fries

    I was today years old when I discovered this diner on the island. I've been a patron of another diner on the island for years that I enjoy very much. This particular diner offers a wider variety of options to include many healthy choices. Although, it doesn't possess the same old school charm as the other diner I make reference to. The diner was very busy when we arrived with limited table options so we opted for seats at the center bar. This proved to be a great choice as our service was superb. Mateo was our server. My friend ordered a hot dog and French fries with a Coke. I ordered the Power Start with an iced tea. Typically, I enjoy a half cut tea but they only offer unsweetened iced tea. However, they were able to provide me with simple syrup on the side to sweeten my tea which is perfect because mixing sugar in iced tea is an absolute fail. The Power Start consisted of scrambled egg whites with chicken breast, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, and cheese. Essentially, it's a scrambled omelette. This was paired with multigrain toast and the patron's choice of an arugula salad or home fries. I paid an up charge for French fries. The portion was generous and provided me with leftovers. I enjoyed my initial experience at Surfside Diner very much and will definitely return. I'm a huge fan of breakie and love that they offer breakfast all day.

    Yes, they do have diners in Palm Beach. I felt right at home. The oatmeal was nice and hot. They have it through out the week. Two thumbs up here. The portion size was plenty. I added blueberries to top off the oatmeal. It has a warm cozy atmosphere with a glass front so plenty of light. What a way to treat myself on a visit to Palm Beach

    Wonderful breakfast in PB. Walking distance to beach. Eggs Benedict was great. Also has gluten free toast.

    Chicken Quesadilla

    Great diner. I walked in on a Saturday morning and was immediately seated. The service was quick and the food was great. The prices are extremely reasonable. The Chicken Quesadilla was very large and delicious.

    In the middle of Palm beach on a corner sits a diner that is both quaint and flavorful and will transport you back to what a beach diner is all about. Good Prices, great atmosphere and good people. The food choices reminds us all why we like a diner and what they have to offer.. Coffee, eggs Benedict and side of potatoes and ready for the day. The waitresses were so nice and accommodating. Don't miss this place, worth a stop for Bkfst, lunch or whenever. Good food. Good people and at the beach where else...

    Ham & cheese omelette

    Greeted as I walked through the door and seated immediately. Not many visitors this morning but it is supposed to rain all day in the sunshine State, not exactly beach weather. The place is retro model and plays great music from the golden era....70s and 80s. Table, booth and bar seats are available. Order was taken immediately and the the food was out in under 10 minutes!! Waitress was very friendly and pleasant. Place was very clean and the food was delicious. Only thing preventing a 5-star is you pay for everything. Omelet ingredients to substitute muffin for toast. But they do have Heinz ketchup! Overall good experience and would certainly visit again if in the area. Chances are slim because if you are not a beach person or golfer, why visit WPB? Haha.

    Mid. Definitely not all it's cracked up to be in reviews and how busy it is! Pros- - very cute bright atmosphere with vintage diner ambiance with breakfast bar stools and booths - looks very clean - food can be decent depending what you order Cons - - I paid $10 for this "bowl" of soup in a cup that wasn't even filled up. Prices are ridiculous and they can get away with it because it's palm beach. - I ordered a side salad and she wouldn't let me pick a dressing, I had to get the balsamic it comes with - service is SO slow, waited at the bar forever before being asked beverages, then again waited forever for food, then no one came to see how everything was or if we needed anything -- mind you we're at the bar so they could have literally taken 3 seconds to turn around and ask Probably wouldn't come here again but the ambiance is nice and relaxing even tho it's busy so they get an extra star for that

    We dined in on a busy Sunday afternoon for a brunch for party of 10 plus a child. The place was nice and staff was welcoming. Wait time was about 10 mins before we were seated. Food was served in 20 mins fresh made. We had omelette, French toast, pancakes and egg Benedict. The great service, nice ambience and plenty to choose from menu makes it a five star in my list of breakfast options in Palm beach area.

At times, it seemed like other tables were receiving more attention, which left us feeling overlooked. While the food and atmosphere were enjoyable, it wasn't the birthday experience I had hoped for. RH Rooftop has incredible potential because the space is so beautiful, but I think the service could be more attentive and consistent to match the upscale environment. Hoping this was just an off day.

While in Palm Beach…read morefor a work meeting, my wife and I made it a point to dine at Buccan after seeing it consistently recommended on Yelp and by locals. After one meal here, it was easy to understand why it's considered one of the most sought-after restaurants in the area. The atmosphere is energetic and vibrant without feeling overly loud, and the service was polished, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the evening. The menu encourages sharing, which allowed us to sample a variety of dishes. We started with the lobster aquachile, which was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. The lobster was tender, and the bright citrus flavors paired perfectly with the avocado and vegetables. It was a refreshing and memorable way to begin the meal. Next came the beef empanada and pork taco. The empanada was rich and flavorful with perfectly cooked beef and a crisp exterior, while the pork taco packed an impressive amount of flavor into a single bite. Both were excellent examples of why Buccan has developed such a strong reputation for its small plates. One of the highlights of the evening was the squid ink orecchiette. The pasta was perfectly cooked and coated in a rich, savory sauce that brought everything together. It was one of those dishes that makes you immediately start planning your next visit. For a larger plate, I ordered the prime beef burger, which was outstanding. The beef was juicy and flavorful, the toppings were balanced, and the fries were perfectly crisp. It may seem unusual to order a burger at one of Palm Beach's most acclaimed restaurants, but this one absolutely deserves the attention it receives. What impressed me most about Buccan was the consistency across every dish. Nothing felt like an afterthought. From the creative seafood dishes to the comfort-food favorites, every plate was executed with care and attention to detail. Palm Beach has no shortage of excellent dining options, but Buccan stands out as a restaurant that successfully combines creativity, quality ingredients, and flawless execution. If you're visiting the area, this is a reservation worth making well in advance. Recommended: Lobster Aquachile, Beef Empanada, Pork Taco, Squid Ink Orecchiette, Prime Beef Burger, and don't skip the fries. One of the best meals we had during our trip.

Manny, thank you for the kindness and safe service you have given us. You are usually the first person who takes care of the Buccan Family.

I don't care if you are watching what you eat. Close your eyes! The chocolate cookies (warmed) are a must. Period. Selfishly, I hope Chef Clay never gets a tv show. A book deal is allowed. We want this local treasure and his team to remain anchored here. Clay and his team are own foodie treasure in our back yard. But wait, there's more: Honored to watch Chef Clay modestly expand the Miami environs. He will be opening his Buccan-Imoto-Buccan Sandwich Shop experience in Coral Gables sometime in June/July. OMG, we cannot wait for this to open. Though retired from the airlines (I miss my MIA overnights), we will make the trip to celebrate these new venues. However, we will do it very quietly. We do not wish to be labeled as stalkers. Probably one of my longest reviews. I love seeing hard working people succeed. What this team does for the community is simply breathtaking. This is a true success story. Thank you Buccan-Imoto-Grato-Sandwich Shop-Stokes Barn Team!!!!
