Beach Diner Atlantic Beach

The French toast that I got was wonderful. There are semi big portions. I liked that they put my syrup in a container, so it was easy for me to bring home for leftovers. I actually accidentally left my box on the table, and as I was about to go out the door to the patio, our server ran and gave it to us. Overall, the Beach Diner was a very good experience for my family and I.

Very nice place to have a meal. Friendly staff. Awesome menu choices. I had the grilled salmon with mashed potatoes, cornbread,and fried okra. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Neptune Beach area. Will definitely visit again.

Super cute diner! One of my favorite things to do when I travel to beaches is finding the popular diner. When I walked in I was welcomed by a friendly gentleman who sat me at the bar area. Looking around I really loved the decor as it was very homey. I was quickly greeted by my waitress regarding my order. She seemed friendly but seemed rushed also. She didn’t give me her name but did take my order and checked on me half way through my meal but didn’t ask if I wanted my coffee refilled. The food was hot and tasty just what you would expect. My only factor that prevented a five star is the gentleman that greeted me seemed like the only happy person working. When you go to a family owned diner you want that welcomed feeling as if you were at home. I’ll definitely be back as I live here now.

What a fantastic place to start your day!! Great place to go for families and friend for Breakfast or Lunch! The staff was fabulous and the food ....yum! yum! ... Oh.. my goodness!!!!! It was delicious!!! We arrived Sunday after 0700am... As time went but this place started to get busier and busier... But the staff still smiling and willing to make your morning pretty special... Beautiful puppies were sitting outside next to their favorite humans! I truly recommend you to visit this place, you won't regret it!!

Great breakfast!! My new favorite place in Jax beach. I went with their turkey club and it was delicious!! Their eggs over medium is delightful including the biscuits and gravy as well! Staff is friendly and of course everything is clean. This place gets busy on the weekends. Lots of outdoor seating and just a really cool atmosphere. Really liked it and looking forward to going back!!

This was our first visit and based upon reviews, we were looking forward to it. Please note that we will return to give them another chance and hopefully update this review to five stars. It’s a cute cozy place but definitely needs a good scrub. They were certainly not short staffed and could have been cleaning. My husband told our waiter that it was our first time there and as he was telling him, our waiter just walked away. Not going into everything, but did not experience the attentive service that the reviews described. I had potato fries and Eggs Benedict and my husband had the breakfast burrito. Our featured items were pretty good but potatoes were cold, not fresh. Leadership has a great opp to teach their staff how to provide excellent service.

When my husband and I arrived to dine on the patio with our baby, we found ourselves looking for the -least- dirty table. None of them had been wiped and there was only one couple seated on the patio at the time so there were definitely opportunities for staff to clean. It was our first visit and excited to try it out so we sat anyways. We were greeted shortly after by a nice young man who took our drink orders as he dropped off menus. We requested a table wipe as well. He came back with our waters and another friendly young man to help him; one held our drinks while the other wiped the table. Except when I looked down he was wiping with a napkin. I have over a decade experience in the service industry which began as a server, then bartender, and finally manager. I know very well that was a health code violation to not have a sanitized towel to properly clean the surface with. In shock, I asked the young man if there were any clean towels to use and he said, “haha, I wish.” We got up almost immediately after that experience and left. If the tables can’t be cleaned properly (as if they’re cutting corners to not pay for laundered towels) what other codes are in violation?! Currently nursing so we weren’t going to stick around and take the risk. I was stunned. Also, very disappointed because the menu looked great and we liked the location’s distance from our house. Anyways… INVEST IN SOME TOWELS AND SANI BUCKETS! Geez!

I understand why this place is so popular now! We got here at 9 and only had to wait a few minutes for a booth to open up. The portions are super large, so prepare to leave stuffed. The outside waiting area is nice with a ton of seating. The food is absolutely delicious without a horrible wait for it. The waitstaff is really friendly and they brought over crayons and coloring sheets for the kids as soon as we were seated.

Woke up early and wanted to grab some breakfast before driving away from our beach vacation. The only place open was the Beach Diner so we decided to give it a try. I wasn't really expecting much but my expectations were sorely way misplaced. We got a friendly greeting from the host Chris. He provided some great suggestions and promptly placed our order. The much needed coffee was delivered first and fast. What I really enjoyed was the coffee wasn't anything fancy. It was just a damn good cup of joe. I ordered the steak with pouched eggs on top. The ribeye was cooked perfectly and so were the eggs. When I sliced into them the beautiful yolk just flowed out and covered my steak. It was delicious. As a bonus I also got their pancakes which smelled of vanilla but tasted like a cloud dipped in syrup. Highly recommend trying them for breakfast.

Absolutely delicious. Went on Mother's Day and there was no wait! It's a very cute and small place but very welcoming! The server was extremely helpful and attentive during our time there. I ordered Eggs on the Bayou and it was absolutely fantastic! Super flavorful! Definitely recommend!

Very good food and service with a wide selection of breakfast or lunch items on the menu.

Great, friendly service. Delicious options for sweet or savory breakfast and lunch available. Our table shared a bowl of fruit and it was fresh and tasty. The tuna & tabouli sandwich was so good and the french fries were fresh and crispy. Would love to come back. Cute, family friendly beach diner atmosphere - the name says it

We walked here from One Ocean, nice walk, got into the busier part of Atlantic Ave. SUPER CUTE, nice outdoor seating. Indoor us nice too but we sat outdoors in this beautiful Sunday morning. The service is excellent, the food is scratch and delicious. Our over easy eggs were PERFECT! I can never ass up chocolate chip pancacks and they made the short stack with eggs and turkey sausage work for me. Jason got the special Country Fried Pork Chops. Everything was delicious and so relaxing and laid back. Now we can walk it off going back to the hotel.

The food was so fresh and delicious!!!! I love the front porch with the cute little booths and nautical theme. We got our food so quickly! Nice staff, too. Great place to go if you can't find parking by the beach. I'd go here over a place by the beach anyways. It's a quick drive from the beach. Get the turkey sandwich and the tuna and tabouli pita!! Fresh fruit is so fresh and ripe!

If you're looking for a solid brunch spot with good food and fair prices, beach diner is the place for you! We had a reservation for 8 people on a Sunday morning and it was definitely packed! The menu has tons of options, so I ended up going with a breakfast burrito. The burrito, in itself, only comes with eggs, cheese, and either sausage or bacon. I wanted something more fun so I had them add onions, pepper, mushrooms, and avacados. It also came with house fries which were basically roasted potatoes with onions. The potatoes were very bland on their own. Thankfully I had hot sauce to add some flavor to them otherwise I would not have eaten them. The burrito was a decent size, cut in half, so person for 1 person. The flavors were pretty good, but again, the hot sauce saved the day. I've had better brunch places but given the variety, price, and quantity of food, I would give it a 4/5!

I really liked Beach Diner. When I stepped in, I was immediately greeted. The interior and patio areas were spotlessly clean with a bright cutesy eye-pleasing décor. The atmosphere is super casual and laid back. You can't help but can't help but feel comfortable eating at Beach Diner. I had their egg Benedict which was perfectly prepared which was a steal at $8.48, while my Beloved enjoyed their "Eggs on the Bayou" with crabmeat and Hollandaise sauce. Everything was nicely prepared, and professionally served, and the coffee was of course bottomless.

We ate breakfast here on 2/10/24 food was good. After finishing our meal. The waitress "Grace" ask us if we wanted a drink to go? I replied yes a water. It was a styrofoam cup with a plastic lid. I did not drink the water right away. When I started to drink the water later in my car, the water smelled like bleach. I can't believe this. Bleach water. Very disappointed. I did drink some before I smelled the bleach. I hope I don't get sick. I don't know if this was intentional or not, but the water has a strong smell of bleach. Just wanted to share this. I won't be returning to this place either way.

Wonderful breakfast experience!!! Highly recommend. The best thing about the place is the service.

Wow this place was wonderful ! The Greek omelette was big and fluffy- fruit was ripe and coffee was smooth. I was sat immediately and the meal came out in around 11 minutes (fast) Will be returning.

I've passed by Beach Diner a million times and finally got to try them this week. I got up early and saw the sunrise at the beach. My friend and I decided to stop in for breakfast. We arrived at 7:30 AM and it wasn't too crowded as it was a Wednesday. We were told to pick a seat so we found a cozy booth by a window. We were greeted promptly by our server requesting our drink order and she gave us menus. The service was friendly and our food came out in what felt like five minutes. Very fast! I ordered the veggie omelette with Swiss cheese and fruit on the side. The omelet was delicious and the fruit was fresh and sweet. I only ate half the omelet and all the fruit and I was satisfied. The diner has been in Atlantic Beach for 30 years and now I see why. If you are looking for a great breakfast and with a charming atmosphere (remodeled) stop by Beach Diner!

I can't believe it's been years since John and I ate here! We had been for breakfast numerous times and I thought we had dinner once- but maybe it was lunch since the hours are beach diner short. I had a couple birthdays and family gatherings camping at Hanna Park and this is an easy place to hit up breakfast and always good. There is good reason they are always packed. We had a table within a few minutes and were so grateful not to get the tiny 2 person booth that I swear they should only seat skinny people there! We've been crammed into that booth before- we laughed about it remembering. I was having a clumsy morning and when we were making our way to our table I saw a server in the aisle and thought I would be smart and move to the other aisle to avoid him only to crash into another server who spun around to leave from taking an order. Brick wall- we grabbed hold of one another so neither of us actually fell and John caught me from behind too. Great... I was just saying the night before that I have social anxiety... the person didn't believe me either! Onto breakfast- I confess I did not love my biscuits and gravy, but I know I love their waffles, omelets and pancakes. John ordered a breakfast platter that came with eggs, homefries, a pork chop and a biscuit and I did snag a few of his delicious homefries. The eggs were cooked perfectly- my biscuit was a little hard on the outside and I felt like the gravy was canned. No worries- I will order better next time. I am not dinging any stars because I know I love other dishes and John's breakfast was great! We need to go again soon!

This was my second good experience eating here. Came here while visiting from Virginia with my dad, aunt and cousin to see my grandmother(who is 102!) I ordered The Godfather sandwich which was delicious and some fries. Sandwich was delicious and so were the fries. My grandmother got the Reuben which she always loves. I haven't tried it but it looked very good too. As for the service, everyone is very friendly and fast. We didn't have to wait long for anything and we're in, fed and on our way in no time. They were also very good at accommodating my grandmother.

Met up with some friends here for a spontaneous breakfast date. Staff is so friendly and the restaurant is well kept. We sat outside because my friend brought her new puppy with her. Seating outdoors is just as comfortable as it is inside, they even offer booths outside. Casey was our server and she was very attentive and interacted with our whole table well. Everyone pretty much ordered the same thing. Steak and eggs for all of us. Steak was cooked exactly as we asked and so were the eggs. It came with grits and pancakes as well. A lot of food to start off the morning but the price was very reasonable. I was actually expecting smaller portions for the price but they were actually very generous. It was a beautiful day to sit outside and have a meal with friends and the food was delicious. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

A local family owned diner, where the food is tasty and the owner comes to the table to greet you. We love the opportunity to dine inside or outside, depending on the weather. The food is made fresh everyday and the crab meat omelette is delicious. My husband raves about the country fried steak and how creamy and savory the gravy is. Mimosas and Bellinis are available and you get your own personal size bottle of champagne per order.

In between medical appointments we came here for breakfast. I have to say thank you to Brandi because she was truly proactive and her approach to working with us. I was very specific on how I wanted my eggs and when they came out and we're not done correctly, she immediately rectify the situation. I was very appreciative because I didn't have to say anything. Moreover she said because they didn't follow directions she was taking care of it. Brandi went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that we were all satisfied with our breakfast and that we had phenomenal customer service. The owner truly needs to come and Brandy for a disservice like her that will bring me back.

Great breakfast diner! The food was great. And the portions was huge. I order extra things thinking it was gonna be small, week I couldn't eat all of it. The people the very nice. And it has a nice southern charm to it. I highly recommend you try it. Very busy when we went, but food still didn't take long to come out. Only Con I have about this place is, their French toasts should NOT be soaked in milk or made with heavy cream.

I loved my time at the Beach Diner this morning. The service was fast and friendly, their outdoor patio was wonderful and even though there were only a few tables on the patio, I was taken great care of. We came in on a Saturday morning at 7:40am. Someone attended to us as soon as we sat down and got us our drinks while we looked at the menu and waited for our server. Our server was there 3 mins later to get our order put in. Food arrived in 9mins to the table which was incredibly fast and wonderful considering the inside dinning room was bustling. The coffee was hot, food was cooked to temperature and was delicious. We paid just over 30 bucks for 2 people's food before tip. Overall the experience was great, and its a great spot for a quick breakfast. They also had brunch and mimosa options if you'd be interested in that. The $7.99 breakfast special is only 6-8am.

Honestly the whole experience was very pleasant. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. There was not a wait time and the food quality and presentation were great

This unassuming spot has a neighborhood feel with the serving staff saying bye to the "regulars" by name as they leave. I had breakfast with eggs and corned beef hash. Excellent! I'll be back to try other dishes.

Feeling at home - this is what I felt when my girlfriend and I got there. We were welcome by our server, Chris, who was very kind and fast. It took them almost 20 minutes to prepare our breakfast but it was very delicious. The kitchen was busy and the place was full and they were able to make a wonderful breakfast. I must say, I love their grits although I should have ask for more cheese lol Overall, I would love to come here with my family! Keep up the great work!

Friendly staff. Great outdoor seating. Good food. Cute decor. Easy road access and available parking.

My husband and I came here relatively early after a sunrise beach walk. Our table was already super sticky. Don't put your arms on it type of sticky. Which is fine. Though I can't speak on the steak and eggs I can solely speak on my eggs Benedict which had no flavor at all. The plate looked very sad and lacked seasoning. I wasn't very satisfied. Other than that the inside and outside of the restaurant are very cute and beachy.

Hands down the besst breakfast I've had in forever! The place is clean and the service was amazing! I came in before work and was out quicker than most places. You can come here and spend 7-12 a person, not bad at all. My shrimp and crab omelet was delicious, the toast and potatoes were really good as well! My husband had the blackened salmon, which was so delicious as well! I highly recommend this spot! You won't be disappointed

Chris our waiter was great and attentive! Food was out right away too. We ordered the delicious French Toast . My husband and I could have split it! Great bang for your buck! Love the Beach Atmosphere.

The place looked small from the outside but actually had a lot of room once entering. It also had a very beachy feel from the second we arrived, perfect for those who are on vacation. Our service was decent and so was the food. Portion sizes were rather small for the price we paid, so that caught us a little off guard. If you want more bang for your buck, then it might be best to look elsewhere. For any outsiders not familiar with the area, Penman Diner is high on our list. Still our go-to, even after this visit - but this wasn't bad by any means. Might be back again to give it another whirl. We'll see.

Great Jacksonville Diner, coming from a New Jersey diner diner... the food was a delight, the service was good and it was a real beachfront (without the beachfront) atmosphere... Eggs on the Bayou, Shrimp and Crab Omelette, Blueberry pancakes and seafood grits... recommended.

Bike ride to the beach and Breakfast. I give Beaches diner one star for a few reasons . 1). Dirty tables (my arms are black) sticky too 2). Over charged me for Eggs and Tomato's ($14.00 for 3 eggs and three slices of tomato's and two cups of coffee) 3). Menus seems to be missing items from last time I was here. The staff was friendly and attentive to me and I tipped to reflect that. I hope the over charging and the cleaning improves because this is one of my fav breakfast spots on the beach.

$20 for three small (cold) pancakes, potatoes and the privilege of chasing down my own coffee at the counter. Meh... Dogs on the patio are cute though.

Five plus stars if possible. We are new to Fl. New to Jacksonville. We found Atlantic Beach because it is dog friendly. We are always looking for eateries with outdoor seating because we have our doggie with us. So we stumbled onto this place my happenstance and boy howdy are we glad we did. Great menu and several specials daily. Big fresh portions that were delicious. Can't wait to return. Looks like a locals favorite. Ours too

We have hunkered down for the last 8 weeks. This is our first time out to a restaurant since COVID 19 to support our local Beach Diner. They have every detail down to a science in terms of sanitizing and social distancing. Michael is ever so wonderful- a personality just like the gracious spectacular owner Barry. All the natives are over the moon they are open. People are embracing the first day opening . We're here to support our neighborhood diner! !! Native or townie- support our Beach Diner Atlantic Beach!!!

This is a locally owned family breakfast restaurant. The line here is very long in mornings. The parking lot is better and more organized since the construction of the gate station started. You will be seated upon emtering. You have an option to seat yourself at the breakfast bar. Service here is friendly, fast, consistent. They keep all your needs met. We are frequent visitors here for years. I do not know why i never reviewed before. The meals they make are very well cooked. The food we ordered this visit was as good as the food from all our other visits. They never let you down here. Only reason a star is missing is over a year ago they took away their military discount.

My wife and stopped at the Beach Diner while visiting family in Atlantic Beach Florida. The food was delicious and staff was friendly. My wife and I both ordered breakfast. The food was was hot and tasty. You will not be disappointed with the portion size either! Enjoy

My family ate at the Atlantic Beach Diner for the first time and we all agree on giving it a rating. Taylor and Hanna, the hostess and server were very pleasant, and the food was outstanding We even got a special visit from one of the owners "The Great Stan Jordan". Needless to say, we'll definitely be dining there again soon.

One of my favourite diners of all time. I found them in 1989 and have been a frequent customer ever since. I just returned after a 6 year absence (touring) and was delighted that the diner has retained their standards of excellence. It was even more special that I could share this gem with my mate, Lila - who fell in love with the ambience that is so warm, inviting and downright beachy. Our Eggs Benedict were cooked to perfection, the home fries were nicely seasoned and crispy. The staff is superb (25% tip), friendly, attentive and prompt. The entire experience was a nice, relaxing start to our day. Beach Diner, ce' magnifique'

Food was good. Portions were big. The service was swift and friendly, even on a busy Sunday morning. The medium on the steak was perfect and the seasoning was so flavorful. The fish was fried light and fluffy and crispy.

The food here is excellent don't be fooled by the small size. It's got big taste and hefty size plates.

Went here for breakfast with my dad. Food was good. I ordered eggs on the bayou and my dad ordered a breakfast with pancakes. When the food came out my dad noted his pancakes were a little undercooked (you could obviously see some runny batter still in the middle). I notified one of the servers, , she brought the plate to the back to be remade. When they came back out everything was fine. It wasn't until the server CHRIS came out to check on us we had an issue. He asked my dad how the pancakes were in which my dad replied "they're better. Brought undercooked pancakes to a retired cook haha" (very lightheadedly- my dad is proud of what he did as a career as he is now retired). Chris proceeded to say "Where at McDonalds?" (came off rude). He then walked away you could hear the server Chris audibly REPEAT what he said and the other servers giggling in the back loud enough i could hear from my table! As i continued to talk to my dad which you could now tell was a little hurt by the comment. He said "take it with a grain of salt". I ended up talking to the manager about the situation, she mentioned that Chris was ex military as well, but I don't care who you are you don't talk to people or make those comments. ESPECIALLY in a community like Atlantic Beach where you have retired military and proud retired vets! Chris, i hope you know you just lost some customers and future customers by your comment. Wether you meant it to be rude or not you really should watch what you say before you say it to the wrong person next time. Really should learn to respect your elders.

One or two servers wearing masks correctly. We were told to sit inside even though we asked to sit outside and there were plenty of tables. The owner was just walking around with his mask hanging off his ear, personally speaking to everyone very closely. Leaned over our table and our food. Completely irresponsible and uncomfortable. Also our mimosas were brown.

Food amazing service great decoration is great and everyone is soooooooo nice I suggest the Beach Diner :) :3

Delicious sausage gravy, biscuits were okay. Restaurant was clean, service was good, will be back!

Great food diversE customer base & Dog Friendly Outdoor seating too You'll enjoy the food 4 Sure Matt Batts & Rocky

Superb service and food. Great value for your dollar. Great place for an early morning paper read or casual breakfast meeting. The taste, quality, and quantity of the food was to my liking. Fried eggs came out as I ordered. Service was attentive but on obtrusive, and I never saw the bottom of my coffee. Good parking. Enjoyable from start to finish.

There were a lot of hits and misses in this diner. I always order the same thing in every brunch diner I go to, so it's easy to note even the smallest difference in the quality and quantity of foods amongst other places. The potatoes, for example, were cold, and they seemed old too. I also expected that they serve a larger quantity, but the portion was good enough for me. They were generous, however, with their Canadian bacon. I managed to turned my two eggs breakfast into a Benedict minus the hollandaise sauce. Overall, I was satisfied with my food. This diner is very popular with older populations! I was surrounded by 60+ year-old brunch-ers, which was utterly cute. Our server was nice, and out food arrived on time. There's nothing to complain about. The location is convenient for beach goers, because it's literally less than 5 minutes from the beach. So if you're ever craving a good meal before going to the beach, or before work even (they open at 6), then definitely consider Beach Diner.

You know a place is good when it's full of locals! Beach diner is a small down home diner that delivers on both quality and speed of Service. It's also on the way to beach making it the perfect place to fuel up before hitting the beach for the day. As I travel to Jax often for fun, I always stop in two places for food. Beach diner for breakfast and safe harbor for seafood! Both of these places are superb and should be on everyone's lists! Btw I just had eggs on the Bayou... basically an eggs Benedict with bacon and crab meat... soooo delicious! The only negative I would say is the coffee isn't my favorite but you can't please everyone with your house coffee

For the last 30 years that I know of this location has been some sort of breakfast related cafe. In 1987 it was a Donut shop- today a few blocks from the beach on Atlantic Blvd. you will find the iconic BEACH DINER. This is a super casual place to have breakfast. Order almost whatever you want for less than $10. The theme inside is well..... beachy , with lots of coastal and nautical themed knickknacks adorning the walls. This place is a favorite with locals and it is clear why. The breakfast is honest and solid but no frills. The coffee is good and your server will probably call you darlin' and maybe visit you once. It's a classic diner in every sense and I positively love it. Can't beat the prices either- note- there are no changing tables for the young ones and the wait here on the weekends is beyond crazy after 10am. This place is an institution and definitely worth a visit.

We live just down the road. Just got home from this place & my husband is already on the toilet (he had biscuits & gravy). My home fries were black and my 'garden' omelet consisted of some diced bell pepper & onion inside with a slice of cheese and cold salsa on top. They definitely need to fire their cook for such horrible food the amount they charge. I can't recommend this place. We definitely won't be going back!

We use Yelp for one reason only: to find the best, local businesses in town. Once again, Yelp hit the nail on the head for Beach Diner - one of my favorite Atlantic Beach restaurants. Second time here. I've ordered breakfast twice. The first time I indulged in the "Eggs on the Bayou," which was ridiculously spectacular. A succulent Benedict with perfectly cooked crabmeat and served with simple roasted potatoes. Today I ordered the Corned Beef Hash with fluffy scrambled eggs, buttered wheat toast and grits. This diner staple was abnormally delicious. The consistency you expect when ordering hash. The service is polite, friendly, and personable. If you're looking for a place where customer service comes first and IS the undeniable priority, Beach Diner is your new home away from home. Sit at the counter, engage with the staff and savor classic diner fare with a unique twist.

Delicious! Great food quick service once you are seated. On the weekends you will have a wait, but it's well worth it! We had eggs on the bayou which is an awesome eggs Benedict dish. Crab, bacon, poached egg on an English muffin covered with hollandaise sauce and green onions & tomatoes! Delicious!!! And the chronology crab omelette. Just simply delicious!
