Cheryl, Robert, and Michael Head Chef were amazing. What great service and was greeted with a smile from our server Robert. Cheryl served us really good coffee. I love the Cheese Hamburger and the Ruben with fries. .icheal Head Chef cooked my meal to perfection. It was delicious and very well presented. I love this little blessing in the heart of town. Must try the home made soups.

OMG I don't know where to start..... The customer service is AWESOME....the owner greeted us as we were walking by and tried to offer us a place to sit down and eat. Unfortunately, I had made reservations at the horrible place around the corner. After I left the horrible place (still hungry bc I sent the food back) I stoppped by DINER BY THE SEAS. I told them about my experience and were nice and welcoming so we didnt get more traumatized. I ordered the croissant sandwich....OMG that was a lot of food! When I say they cooked it to perfection that's what I mean.....and it was not a long wait at all. My children were like that's what food is supposed to look like. I recommend this place and I regret that I didn't go in when I was first approached. I will definitely be back.....tomorrow!

Breakfast and lunch is so good and the prices are well in your budget. The waiters are super friendly and nice. By far the best customer I've gotten by the beach. Michael the chef knows what he is doing in the kitchen. And he's super friendly and a big soccer fan!

Went here for the first time today with a Groupon to try somewhere new and we were not disappointed! Took away 1 star (which is really only half a star) only because hubby didn't get enough potatoes (although I'm sure we could have asked for more) and my hash browns tasted like bacon and were too greasy for my liking (although some people might really like this). More like a 4.5 star rating here. Omelettes were "egg-cellent" and there was more than enough food otherwise. We added a pancake to our order to split and that was great too. It was so much food I ended up taking home my toast and half my omelette. 👍🏻 Atmosphere: A little dive/hole in the wall but clean bathroom. There were maybe 5 booths, 2 tables outside, and 10 counter spots. Great small beach town diner atmosphere where the staff is super friendly but short with you only because they're busy (not in a rude way - just efficient). Music is good too 🙂 and if you sit at the counter you have a front row seat to the "kitchen" (griddle/sandwich counter) which was entertaining. Everyone was greeting Mike/Michael, the cook as they walked in or left. We'd definitely come back as long as we didn't mind the 20+ minute drive and paying for parking!

First, it's a cash only diner, come prepared. Parking is on the side street. Pay to park. You can use the Pay to Park app. Second, food is delicious. Service was excellent. Booths are tight.

I’m in love with this place! I will return for sure! There are vegetarian options. We buy a promotion by Groupon that was around $13 dollars and we pay around 2 dollars in the store. We had two coffees, pancakes with blueberries and banana, and a omelet with potato. Everything was amazing. Also, the server was really kind. Highly recommended

Old time diner brought back so many memories ,small place but very nice service was great food was guick & excellent ...will definitely return next trip here.

In walking distance to the beach ⛱️ the food was great. The people were awesome and worked there, were friendly... You have to pay with cash 💸 it's on the menu, but it's really small to see on the menu.. It should be on the door as customers enter... You have to pay to walk to the beach ⛱️ or eat somewhere near the beach ⛱️

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!

If you want an old school diner experience with amazing food come here! Best pancakes I’ve ever had and exceptional service. Donna and Solange were fantastic.

I loved this place! A true retro diner with a true diner waitress. The waitress was very pleasant, no-nonsense and gave wonderful recommendations. All the food we had was great and the pancakes were the best. I will definitely visit for breakfast again the next time I'm in the area.
