This place is pretty awesome. Small town vibes, great breakfast and the friendliest people you could ever want serving you. The kitchen is run by the owners themselves and they pump out high quality, classic fare. Great breakfast potatoes, tons of options and the skillets are big enough to feed two people. The prices are quite reasonable as well. I wish there were more spots like this left in the world. Stop in and enjoy a great meal surrounded by smiling people. read more

TW Howell's - Sos Skillet Home Fries - American Near Me - Pomona, New Jersey

Highly creative and delicious, this breakfast/lunch "hole in the wall" is one of the best around. Great service too! The specials are unbelievable but they serve up the standard breakfast and lunch items too. Don't miss this tiny gem! read more

We met up with my man's sister and beau on our way to A.C., per their recommendation. I adored the cutie, Amos, who wrote what Im posting on back of the menu. He floated to each table with warm and interesting conversation. My French toast was good, but not stellar. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals more than me. Idk. O.J. wasn't freshly squeezed or even Tropicana quality. Gross bathroom. I'm took a video but feel badly posting it. read more

TW Howell's - sweet story - American Near Me - Pomona, New Jersey

Just left! Never disappoints unless you pass by on Monday or Tuesday and realize they're closed. Ugh. Great food all the way around. I'm not a breakfast person but my husband loves all the dishes. Really good corned beef hash, huge portions. Great coffee. My fav are their lunch specials and their bisque. Oh my heavens!!! Delightful staff, friendly owners. It's a lot like the bar on the Cheers show...all local friends. read more

Always great time and food. Waitresses are friends and very helpful. Food is great and quality.

Charming is the best way to describe the ambiance of TW Howell's. From the street it looks like a small home. Tucked inside is maybe 8-10 tables so if you are stopping in on the weekend, prepare for a brief wait but they turn tables quickly and we felt the 15 minutes were well worth our time. The menu is small and offers the standard fare. Even better is the specials board. Make sure you take a gander because there are some real gems written in chalk letters. The grilled oatmeal sounded stellar and looked amazing. A neighboring table ordered it and I was prepared to follow in their footsteps until I learned of the orange marmalade stuffed French toast. It sounded like a winner so I went for it. Upon digging in I really appreciated the creaminess of the mascarpone and crispy grilled edges of the toast. Great textures. Nice flavor but seemed to lack that any strong citrus flavor. It was muted behind all that mascarpone cream. They could definitely adjust the ratio to give off more Orange but I really enjoyed it. It was in good company with the piping hot coffee that our server kept fresh and topped off for me. Definitely an establishment I'd return to again and again. read more

Will never go back here. Ordered a small oj the waitress brought me a large I said wow that's a big small she said oh you did order a small. Breakfast was ok. The check reflected $6.50 for the glass of oj! And I didn't even finish it. I understand everything is expensive but come on. I cannot believe they charged me 6.50! And I ordered a small. read more

Small very intimate breakfast/lunch (brunch) spot. I was honestly surprised at how tiny it is. The tables are very close. It's also small, so be prepared to wait on weekends. That said, the food here is phenomenal. The regular menu is big and sounded good, they also had a nice assortment of specials. I opted for the banana walnut pancake special. It came with butter and whipped cream. The bananas and walnuts were in the mix. The difference between putting them in the mix and just on top is stark. These tasted like a dessert or muffin possibly. So delicious. It's a small, but inviting place. Busy too. You'll definitely not regret waiting though. It's worth it. read more

Breakfast was great. Everything was delicious and service was excellent. Cute little hole in the wall with great food. Give it a try!

Great pancake French toast breakfast combo at this local home style joint. Service is great and food came out fast and hot.

Very friendly service and the food was awesome. The omelette was delicious and the hash and eggs were perfect. Great place.

Just ok. Have eaten here several times before and was always impressed with the food, Had the breakfast burrito as shown this time and found it very bland. It was supposed to have bacon inside but it was so few and far between it was undetectable. Home fries had little to no seasoning. Coffee and service was the best part of the meal. Won't be back read more

My daughter goes to school in South Jersey so when I come to see her I like to take her to brunch. Each time I do I like to find the little, off the beaten trail places. TW Howell's was just that, & quite the find (thanks to Yelp)! The place is pretty small with about 10 counter seats & a few tables. It looks fairly worn inside but that is all part of the charm. You can tell this is one of those local places where everyone knows each other, however we did not feel out of place at all. We were immediately acknowledged by a very pleasant woman (presumably the owner). They have an impressive menu as well as blackboard specials. I decided on the honey chicken salad sandwich & my daughter, the crabmeat eggs benedict. To say the food was delicious was an understatement. Although the portions are quite huge, we both finished them. Prices are incredibly reasonable, especially considering the portions. I will definitely be returning in the future! read more

Been twice for breakfast/ brunch and had a great time both times. All the food is great you can't go wrong with any choice! Also the service was spot on. Totally recommend. read more

Had breakfast take-out. 1. Had to ask for syrup & butter - for 2 French toast and 1 pancake order... too many inexperienced young ppl running the front. 2. Presentation of food - never seen such sad looking French toast- it was dipped white bread cut in four thrown in a container. 3. Prices / prices don't match food presentation and taste. read more

I absolutely love TW Howells! I have been coming here for years and this place never ever disappoints!. The servers Debbie, and Ann Maria are top notch, service with a smile and very personable. You can't go wrong with anything you order here. Some of my favorites are the corned beef hash and the creamed chip beef (SOS), the pancakes are delish. Some of my favorite breakfast plates are Grandpop's corned beef hash skillet and the Combo #1 are huge portions. The Chef's Jersey Shore Eggs Benedict with crabmeat is awsome. The place is small and gets crowded so come early for breakfast and early for lunch. They have some very creative and interesting daily breakfast and lunch specials. read more

Been coming to Howell's for years. Sad to say my last trip, staff is great! Attentive, friendly however the flies!! Ugh.... Food was not good, eggs whites were extremely dirty (grill needs cleaning)! Grilled oatmeal was very good. BTL w/extra bacon had two pieces of bacon and a brunch of crumbs... The overall cleanliness of the restaurant is bothersome. read more

I went there with my Dad and husband fir Father's Day. We sat outside. The food was delicious and the staff very pleasant. I recommend it.

Nice little no-frills breakfast/brunch spot. Large portion sizes with good rustic home style food. Friendly service.

Awesome breakfast restaurant with huge portions, extensive menu and a long list of specials. Fried oatmeal was the best. Coffee outside while you are waiting was a great idea! Get there early as this place gets very crowded! read more

To start the service was great. Our server was attentive and kind so that's what this place obviously has right. Where it falls short is the added extra charges everywhere. On the eggs, for credit cards, I'm pretty sure they would charge me for breathing air in there if they could. The food was mediocre until it was absolutely disgusting. I ordered a blt on toast and my husband ordered a breakfast burrito with a side of honey mustard, everything tasted like a dirty grill and burnt, the honey mustard was watery and tasted sour. It's sad because my grandfather used to love this place and now I can see why he died so young of a heart attack. read more

Great food and service. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend. Gets crowded during peak times! A good sign.

Good food, slightly small, great for breakfast in my opinion. Prices are ok, typical diner food. read more

Always a great meal. Have eaten here over a dozen times. Has a great menu and the specials are always different. Staff is the most pleasant bunch of people around. Never a long wait for a table or for your food. Skillet meals are My favorite for breakfast. Your sure to enjoy this restaurant! read more

Wow. What a gem on the way out of Atlantic City! It just so happens that my husband and I had to quickly scatter to find a dealership to change our tire, and were wondering where to go for breakfast. Upon trusting full hope in Yelp to find that special place in an unknown area, we made a decision to try TW Howell's. We got there on a nasty, rainy day, but this small rustic and friendly place was a well-awaited ray of sunshine. The staff is no frills, but welcoming and happy to do it kinda people. I got the combo of eggs, sausage and pancakes. Everything was good. The pancakes were humongous! (I took them to go and they provided us with a substantial car lunch later). My husband got a skillet and said his was ok, but the ambiance of this tiny happy place was all his taste buds needed. It was actually quite cheap compared to our NYC prices nowadays, and we left feeling satiated and content, wanting to go back next time we're in the area. The place is filled with car dealerships, but this place is definitely worth making a track to. read more

TW Howell's - kids pancake! - American Near Me - Pomona, New Jersey

It's like being in a small town atmosphere with someone welcoming you at the door. Great wait staff. Feel like you're at home. Great breakfast. Had this Cereal French Toast. It was Corn Flakes French Toast. Sounded good, except that there was too much cherry syrup and whip cream. If only I asked them to put it on the side. It was delicious, nevertheless. My friend had the traditional breakfast, two eggs, sausage, and bread. Really good portions. They left the coffee carafe and I nearly drank the whole carafe. Wanted to wake up and I did. They have two park benches outside for those who want to wait and you can help yourself to their coffee while waiting. Their menu is so extensive. So hard to choose what to eat. read more

Of course I love the fact that it is family owned & operated. We had to wait a bit for a table, but it is not a large restaurant. We did get some java while waiting in line to tide us over, that was a nice touch. A The wait only ended up being about 10-15 minutes, so that wasn't bad to get a non casino breakfast. The waitress explained some new opting & the 6 of us got a bit of everything. It had been a long time since I had a standard breakfast so went with 2 eggs over east, bacon, ww toast & hash brown's. My meal hit the spot. The table was quiet so everyone was enjoying their food. I did hear the fried oatmeal was amazing. What's a girl to do? Eat up, breakfast is an important start to the day! read more

This place is a gem in the rough that is the White Horse Pike. Teeny tiny and not much to look at, Howells holds some of the best breakfast in the area. Fluffy pancakes, creative specials that change by the week, quick service. A real "regulars and locals" kind of place. Try the grilled oatmeal.... you never saw it coming! read more

The place is adorable and small so we thought this was going to be great. Sorry to say, not that great. The spinach in the omelette was very runny and you can tell it wasn't drained. The bacon was old and cold. The potatoes were bland. Service was great. Maybe lunch would be better. read more

This little country hole-in-the-wall is one of the best breakfast joints you can find in South Jersey. Wether interested in breakfast or lunch, the food here never disappoints. Family-owned and operated, this place is home-style comfort food done right and you can sense the love that goes into creating every dish. The breakfast menu has everything from corned beef hash to eggs Benedict. One of my all time favorites is the cereal-coated French toast with cream cheese filling. And yet, a menu is often unnecessary as the ten or so daily specials scribbled up on the chalk board-- many of them whimsically composed dishes that even Dr.Suess might find curious--are always unique, playful, and of course, fantastically delicious. This matchbox luncheonette is always full of local regulars, but the wait staff are friendly, cheeky ladies who make you feel at home whether you are a resident or a visitor. I would highly reccomend TW Howell's to anyone. read more

For some reason our area has some great Breakfast places. Do a search and you'll find some really good ones. TW Howell's is no exception. I had the crab Eggs Benedict which was very good. The home fries were good and the side of raisin toast I had was also good. The coffee came in a small carafe so we didn't have to wait for refills. The owner/host is always pleasant and the service staff is really helpful and friendly. The place itself is very quaint but somewhat tightly spaced. On a nice day you can eat outside. read more

I am a big fan of breakfast, but due to weight problems I save going out for special occasions or when the urge overtakes my diet. Special occasions, may be not the place, but fantastic food when your in the mood to break the diet this is the place. As other reviewers have pointed out the place is small and somewhat crowed, but that does not interfere with either the service or the very high quality of food. My perfect breakfast here are the skillet breakfast swerved in an actual pan. Way too much food so I always ask for the take out container when the meal is served. I promptly put half the meal in the takeout container for tomorrows breakfast or lunch. I am a big fan of their creamed chip beef, potatoes and eggs skillet. You can't eat it all and you must hide half of it so you don't keep nibbling after your full. Always unique specials on the Menu board. They put some really tasty dishes out. Can't go wrong eating here. A lot of pride shows what they do. read more

Cozy restaurant, great service and food. Have enjoyed many breakfasts at the location.

Let me start off by saying that I like Howell's. I've been there several times and always ordered something different. The pros of Howell's are that the menu is extensive and they do have some creative specials that sound very good. I LOVE that they leave the coffee carafe with you. I do not love that you feel like you're literally sitting on top of people. I appreciate Chef Howell's desire to make the restaurant feel like an old-time, homey joint, but this place gets packed and isn't very well ventilated. In the summer it could potential ruin your meal. Who wants to eat an omelette and drink coffee when it's 85 degrees in the restaurant?? Given the popularity, I'd say it's a good time for Chef Howell to maybe think about expanding. Service is very good here; lots of regulars and the servers treat them as such. Chef Howell himself is often at the door to greet you, especially during busier hours. My reason for giving 3 stars is that I have been sick after eating here every single time. I've ordered everything from omelettes to soups to fajitas...sick every time. I've asked for egg whites only, I've asked for my food to be cooked with Pam. I don't know what the deal is, but I've had to stop going because I'm literally ill for at least an hour afterwards. But the place is always packed, so they've gotta be doing something right. read more

My husband and I were in the area for a little getaway, and we HAD to find a good breakfast place - it's our favorite meal to go out to. This little spot stepped up to the plate, since it was only 5mins from where we were staying. We got there on a weekday morning around 930/10am. There were only 3 other parties there, I guess people have jobs or something. Anyway, we sat and were immediately served coffee and water - nice. I got a veggie scramble and he got some pancakes. We were served some of the most ENORMOUS portions I have ever seen. I got bacon and toast with my 8 eggs + veggies and finished half of everything. He demolished his pancakes but had to nap right after, natch. It was good food for cheap, which I will never complain about. Definitely worth popping into if you are in the area. read more
