    Chicken and Waffles
    Sam B.

    Hidden gem - delicious! I got the chicken and waffles...the best chicken and waffles I've ever had. My friend got the corned beef skillet and loved it as well. Service was good and ambience is casual. We will be back!

    "What an absolute gem of a restaurant! From the fantastic breakfast and lunch menus to the outstanding service--which is a rare find in today's hustle and bustle--everything was perfect. As an expat from England, I've tried my fair share, and this is hands-down the best English breakfast in South Florida. It is easily the best-kept secret in Lake Worth Beach!"

    I've been following them on IG for a while and I finally got to go today--woohoo! We loved it! The service was excellent; Gizelle took care of us and she was super friendly, fast, and attentive. The place is small but very cute, with great beachy vibes. The food deserves a special mention. My picky eater ordered a hash brown and a chocolate chip waffle. It was honestly the first hash brown I've ever had that was cooked to perfection--not greasy, not cold, and not undercooked. Amazing! The waffle was huge, fluffy, and delicious. She ate almost all of it My dish deserves its own paragraph... OMG. The avocado toast actually had real avocado. Not just a thin spread--nope. It was basically a whole avocado, perfectly seasoned and full of flavor, topped with a poached egg that took it to the next level. If you get the chance, don't miss it. It's the perfect spot for breakfast or an amazing brunch.

    Have been here 3-4 times and everything I've tried was amazing!! Love their drink selection too.. the smoothie and mango lassi 10/10 I was hesitant to get the chicken tikka masala but it turned out to be really good. Service has been great as well Definitely check this place out for a brunch or lunch :)

    New ownership and they are on the way to success! Warm and welcoming, this place offers some interesting menu items and old school charm. I had a Chai Latte to go along with my order of Shrimp and Grits. The shrimp were a nice size, plentiful with a nice sauce over the smooth Cheddar grits. Lots more to try here ... we will be back!

    We have been wanting to come here for some time, but never quite got around to it. The old owners sold about a year ago. The new owners have been here about a year and are still tweaking the menu. Brazilian and German, but long time U.S. residents, she said. We found a place to park not too far away on a side street. It was raining heavily, but cozy inside. We got the last open table when we arrived. The breakfast and brunch options looked great, but I was focused on the Indian dishes. I decided to get the one with shrimp. The dish I ordered is (now) called butter shrimp. They are planning to change the name for the new menu as it's not the mild plain dish you'd expect. It's spicy with lots of different mushrooms and peppers and onions. Hearty. Spicy enough to make my nose run and my eyes tear. Even after removing several small jalapeño pepper slices and a pile of cilantro that topped it off. But I loved it. A half dozen large shrimp swimming in a thick delicious sauce. On a separate plate was the rice -- that kind with those little vermicelli noodle pieces in it; Some naan bread -- that was more like roti and thicker than naan. And some vegetables -- sautéed green beans and steamed white cauliflower pieces. Both of which I added to my sauce. There was a small container of a cold cilantro dressing that I was not sure what to do with. My husband chose the shrimp and grits brunch item. Cheesy grits topped with a half dozen shrimp with a drizzle of sauce and a large bacon piece. Plus a perfectly cooked poached egg. He really liked it. For drinks, he had a hot chai latte. Very good, he said. And I had a decaf iced cold brew. Perfect for calming my spice. We can't wait to come back and try more of their menu options. This one's a keeper.

    Food was amazing. Service was not so great. Very friendly BUT with all the speciality things they do (fancy coffees-fresh OJ) they need to have a person doing those for their servers because your table service lacks. Only got 1 cup of coffee, she never offered a refill and took us forever to get a box to go. Cool Ambiance

    Chicken & Waffles
    Jasmine S.

    This would be my second review! It is still amazing! The only difference I see is that they changed the way they cooked their chicken and they increased the quantity of chicken! Definitely a better upgrade for the chicken and waffles. Shrimp and grits were good but personally for me, it had too much oils in it. Other than that it definitely was great to come back here! On top of that, the customer service is too notch!!!!

    So happy the quality has been maintained. My steak and eggs created a food coma, even with several cups of delicious coffee. Inside or outside seating. Great vibe. Even better service. Budget friendly for what you get.

    I love this place for breakfast, brunch and lunch. The owner is Brazilian and the food is incredible! I love how I don't have to worry about choose something different because every single thing in the menu is fantastic. The ambience, people and the music make me feel like home. The employees are polite, and very kind. My favorite there is the juices and the iced Vietnamese coffee. Thank you!

    I've eaten at Howley's Restaurant many times, and the food never disappoints. The chicken and…read morewaffles are some of the best around, the lasagna is fantastic, and the meatloaf and pot roast are pure comfort food done right. The place is a little funky--in the most charming way--with local art on the walls and a laid-back vibe. It's great food in a quirky setting, and honestly, there's a reason it's been open since the 1950s. Go hungry and enjoy.

    I've held off on writing this review and I really hate to say it because I want this place to be…read moregood every single time I go, but the service is actually so terrible and by the looks of the other reviews, I'm not the only one who thinks so. The food is baseline for a diner. It's nothing special, but it is mostly acceptable and the ambience truly does all of the heavy lifting for this restaurant. The last three times I went the service is just despicable really. You look around and most people have their food and there's maybe two or three tables that need to either order or still receive their food and you sit there and you don't even get a drink order taken for literally 15 minutes which was my experience the last time I went, we were sat by the hostess, who quickly returned to the host stand to just stand there, and we waited for our waitress to get our drink order and it took over 15 minutes for anyone to come, and the only reason they came is because we got up and asked if we were going to get seen by anyone. And being that the service was so incredibly slow and lackadaisical the last few times I timed how long it took for me to get my food and it took 47 minutes for them to deliver a turkey club and a Philly. And the time before the most recent time I was there for breakfast and it took them over an hour to bring the food out, and they did NOTHING about it. Which really was the most shocking part I am in the Restaurant industry myself and there are things that are objectively right and there are things that are objectively wrong and something wrong happened and they had nothing to say for it except sorry. The poor young guy behind the counter on the way out was throwing himself under the bus as if the whole Restuarant is on his shoulders meanwhile our waitress had nothing to say drop the check off and just moved on in spite of the fact that I took the time to communicate that I was very disappointed by the extremely long wait time and the club I had on this occasion had rotten tomatoes in it that I couldn't even remove from my sandwich because they were basically mush but it's kind of like the perfect situation for them because I'm so hungry at this point after waiting so long that I do my best to remove it and my waitress is nowhere to be seen so it's not like she's gonna hear about it until she drops the check off. So basically long story short if you're in the market for mediocre food, extremely slow service and a somewhat interesting ambience and you have about three hours on your hands Howleys is the spot for you! I'm all down for the hipster vibes and I know subculture tends to lean on that but I think that they really gotta understand that they're not too cool to care about giving good service and and checking that their produce is fresh. It's such a great location and if they can't run this restaurant the way it should be maybe they should consider selling it to somebody who cares more. Having mini golf out front doesn't make up for the fact that you need to take care of people. Also, don't look in the spout of the creamer tin... Yelp I guess likes pictures so pictured below is the root beer float that took 30 minutes to come after we finished eating. I come here all the time and I really wish they would just do better. I literally just come for the ambience, but imagine if this place actually ran well and you didn't have to suffer waiting or picking at your food! Think about it! Also if you're the manager I don't need your phone number or some kind of vip service next time I go! I just need regular good service! The kind that every customer should go in there and be able to expect!

It brought me back to my childhood. We were greeted by a very tall guy and looked like the manager. He was so much fun and really, really nice and then our server Sarah, came over. She was a hoot and a half made some suggestions, told us what to get these were her favorites and it was a home run ball hit out of the park.. We started with the pretzel and the bear cheese. Absolutely delicious, the pretzel was very light and the bear cheese had so much flavor to it. Three of us got burgers that were absolutely mouthwatering you bite into it and you went. oh yes, one bite burger!! This is the place to go. My girlfriend got a grilled chicken sandwich. It was absolutely delicious and the chicken she said was seasoned perfectly. Just sitting there, looking all around, brought us back to our childhood the antiques on the ceiling on the wall on the table every direction was so much fun. If I could give this place 10 stars are 100 stars I would do it. We cannot wait to go back. Thank you, Sarah we will ask for you when we go back. you were fabulous. See you all soon XOXO Andrea.
