Diner By-The-Sea

"Great breakfast, waitresses all work together to help each other. A little tight in space but well worth it. The cook is amazing!!!!! all that food on that little stove. Mad props to the whole crew. Keep up the awesome team work."

"This is one of my go to places when I am in town. Great diner food and nice folks that take care of you. Lot of regulars in here, you can tell be the banter between the customers and the staff. Great place!"

"Let me first say this is the kind of restaurant my dad would really like. He goes to several local restaurants where we live in Indiana, and the wait staff know all the regulars by name. This is that place. My wife called it “charming.” It’s a long narrow restaurant with a counter on one side and booths that seat 4 people on the opposite wall. Our server called several customers by name, and I knew this was a place the locals must enjoy. We decided to share two dishes: a three-egg omelette and French toast. Both dishes came out on large plates. The serving size was massive. And neither disappointed. As a side note, I’m not a huge fan of home fries, but they came with the omelette. This place has changed my mind. Large cut potatoes seasoned and grilled perfectly. Yum! Too bad I was too stuffed to finish them all! Apparently, the place just changed ownership. We were listening to the conversations between the new owner and the staff, and I think the new owner will do just fine. One concern he had was the variety of coffee cups they had, a disjointed and unmatched assortment. He thought it’d be nice to get the cups must of the regulars liked. But our server noted that one particular lady liked a certain mug, which he agreed they should keep. Who can argue with customer service like that?"

"Since we were staying in Lauderdale By The Sea, we thought we would check out some of the local restaurants in the area. First was Diner By The Sea - the food looked delicious, but was not that great. One of our friends ordered breakfast she did like hers, another friend ordered a cheeseburger, which was practically bleeding because he cooked it so fast. He did remake the order. I ordered a fish sandwich. I picked up to take a bite, and the entire fish slid out and crumbled on the plate. I asked for shrimp instead, but it was also cooked to fast it was crunchy on the outside mushy on the inside and not well done. My suggestion was that the fish should be served on a bed of rice and not put in a sandwich because it doesn’t stay in there."

"Very cool retro diner! You have to sit at the counter! We have been there a few times for breakfast and the food has been consistently great! We will be going back to explore the lunch menu!"
