Causeway Diner

This place serves legit classic diner food. I only ordered a bacon Swiss burger and I couldn't finish it. I sat at the counter and the desserts were getting served one after another. They said they make them here from scratch! The rock and roll oldies is a great touch!

Great little neighborhood diner. I wanted a light lunch and ordered a turkey sandwich on white toast, with the onion rings which was an upcharge. Well worth it because they were some of the best onion rings I've had in a long time. The turkey sandwich was very good also, the only complaint is all the meat was stacked in the middle. I'll spread out a little more next time.

It was an amazing first experience, I tried the fried fish and fried shrimp. It was amazing. I want to go back and try their breakfast.

Very clean, nice restaurant. Excellent service, waitresses were very attentive and polite and the food was prepared quickly and correctly. The only thing to let it down was the food. Specifically, the spaghetti. Overcooked pasta, watery sauce(really more like a light tomato sauce with meat tossed in). The soup was fantastic though, I had the cream of mushroom. If I get the chance to go back, I'll try more typical diner fare, and see if it matches the soup better.

Great food! A little pricey but definitely a good value. Great service and a great atmosphere.

Pancakes w crispy edges are the best! Bacon done perfectly. A quaint diner on the causeway that was quick. Beverage prices are a bit much especially for tea.

Absolutely Brilliant. We dined here last night whilst staying nearby. This is a traditional diner with a wide menu and delicious fresh cooked food. We had pancakes and a full breakfast at 7.00pm. The staff were really helpful and friendly. Eating does nt get better than this. Thank you for your wonderful eatery.

I ordered a turkey club sandwich and it was absolutely perfect. The bacon was crispy the turkey was freshly sliced and the Tomato plump and juicy. I added onion rings and they are delicious too.

We stopped here because it was close to the fields we were playing a soccer tournament at. Best decision we made! For one, I like diner food. But more importantly and what did it for me was the service! It's family owned and that is always a HUGE bonus for me as well. We were looking for something quick in between games and the provided very quick service with excellent food portions for the money. Everyone made sure we were taken care of. While our server was getting our drinks someone else stopped by concerned because we didn't have drinks. After eating we asked to stay because of a rain delay and while we were soaking up the a/c someone came by to ask us if we needed anything. Experience, food and service are 5 stars!

A friendly hometown diner with a great menu and an attentive staff. If you want to enjoy your meal without all the noise and traffic in a chain restaurant go to Causeway Diner.

This place is amazing ! What a good find. Great homemade food and service was amazing. We are from out of town and would totally come back if we are in the area next time !!

Terrific diner, food is prepared very well, details are spot on. The staff is very friendly and warm. I highly recommend.

Great food and service, not a fancy diner. Enjoyed the omelette, grits, and toast! Would visit again if back in the area.

Yummy!!!! My husband comes here often after a round of golf and wanted me to try this place. What a gem - the breakfast was outstanding. They KNOW how to properly prepare corned beef hash which is important to those of us who love it. The eggs and home-style potatoes were excellent. Everything was served hot. Good coffee, friendly service.

Just disgusting. Food was greasy and tasted funny. and staff was rude AF never going back .

I recently ate here with my wife. I'm local, I eat out fairly regularly, and I appreciate decent food. This place left me REALLY scratching my head, I ordered a Rueben with "pastrami" that smelled like death on a plate. My wife ordered a fish sandwich which came the same texture/consistency as a hockey puck. I didn't attempt to eat mine, as you could see the pain in the waitresses eyes whom placed it in front of me, almost ashamed of how the food looked/smelled. My wife got through about 1/4 of hers, as the fish was cooked sooooo much she could Pass her fork through the rest of it. The waitress, very well Knew how displeased we were with our food, as she handed me a $44 dollar bill. This is place horrible, not sure how/why they remain open serving slop like that. Good somewhere else. Also: not "veteran friendly". God bless.

Things I loved about this place? Service and food! The coffee was exactly what you hope for in a diner - warm, delicious and quick to be refilled. We both ordered some non-traditional breakfast items which could've honestly gone either way for our opinion of the restaurant. Fortunately, both items were delicious. Here are some things to keep in mind when ordering either of them though: Monte Cristo - if you've had one of those sandwiches from Bennigan's, this one is more like a deconstructed open-face non-fried version without the raspberry jam or powdered sugar and comes with no sides. Still very tasty and plentiful, but definitely different. The bread under the meaty cheesy pile is their delicious French Toast...so you do get a good hint of sweetness. I tried a couple of top-to-bottom bites with a splash of maple syrup and it was pretty good. Give it a try. I was a little surprised that it was JUST the sandwich at that price when so many other similarly-priced items come with home fries, at least. It still filled me up. The Corned Beef Omelette was the type of omelette where all of the ingredients are mixed together and cooked in a single layer and then folded over (Shush! I'm sure there's a term for that but if I don't know it, most of you won't either!). The omelette does not come with cheese unless you add it (Swiss seems like it would be a good choice) and the corned beef is sliced, not chunked. Still very tasty overall. We asked for the Home Fries (came with the omelette) extra crispy and they definitely were that. Since "home fries" means something different nearly everywhere it seems, I'll describe these starchy soldiers for ya. My Southern family would refer to these as "Fried Potatoes" which really just means that they are quartered and sliced potatoes fried in some cooking oil and dashed with some seasoning. I believe these were deep-fried (one of their options), but they probably skillet fry or griddle fry them if you don't ask them to do anything different. I didn't order "Home Fries 4-Ways" so I can't say anything more (no, that's not on the menu btw). Our waitress was super friendly and quick. The interior is about what you expect from a diner. There is plenty of parking (at least on the weekend since they share the lot). We'll definitely head back and try out some other items on the menu next visit.

Causeway Diner is your standard diner, basic dishes that are favorites of most people cooked just the way you like it. Staff was friendly and attentive without being too much! The biggest issue with this diner is its feeling of uncleanliness, I think it could stand for a deep cleaning followed by fresh paint and some minor repairs ( bathroom door lock didn't work). I would return but probably wouldn't make it a regular on my list.

We love the 'real' food here! No fake turkey roll on the sandwiches. BTW, the club sandwhich is huge, we always split one. We were up there for dinner ~2 weeks ago - yum!!

Hole in the wall but great food and service. We go all the time. Never had anything we didn't like and always a good healthy portion.

Ordered takeout - This is an unassuming little diner and the only place within a 10 mile radius of my work and I am so glad it is. I got the turkey club sandwich ($8.95) and it was the club sandwich of my dreams. Super tall, lots of crispy bacon, perfectly toasted rye bread, and a thick layer of fresh sliced turkey breast. Came with a generous scoop of potato salad and cole slaw. It was ready quickly and they are also so nice :)

What a diner should be. Large portions at low prices. Great diner food and specials daily. French onion soup is fantastic. Gyros, burgers, salads, turkey dinner, tuna melts, whatever a diner makes they have it and soooo good.

Amazing food. Son had sausage and waffle. Sausage was really good waffle was big and tasty. I had chicken fried steak and eggs. So delicious cooked perfectly. Daughter had a burger and she said it was the best burger she's had in a long time. Wife had eggs Benedict and the ham was top notch, she loved it. Waitress was very nice and spoke to us about our trip. We will be back. Thank you!

Causeway Diner has the best pancakes I've ever had! Their scrambled eggs, ordered soft are delicious, and their home fries are very nice! The wait staff is usually pleasant!!! However, most of the menu is super unhealthy! Even their big iceberg lettuce salad with lunchmeat is, well, loaded with super unhealthy lunchmeat and cheese. They offer typical fried diner fare that is deep fried, covered in fatty sauces, and loaded with fat and calories!!!! They offer super bland canned green beans or corn for a side. Some of their food is tasty, but so fattening and unhealthy for your cardiovascular health!!! A couple times, I decided to splurge on dessert, and their cakes are dry and flavorless! They taste like a cake mix cake that has been over baked! So, why not offer a delicious Cobb salad made with grilled shrimp, Romaine lettuce, or crispy mixed greens with avocado, and delicious veggies like cherry tomatoes, hard boiled egg, black olives, slender slices of cucumber, a smidgen of shredded cheese and a touch of real bacon, and offer low calorie dressings? How about offering some gently grilled haddock, or other healthy dishes that don't raise your cholesterol? A restaurant that cares about the health of its customers would be a breath of fresh air, and for the occasional splurge, how about a little cupcake that is moist and flavorful? The cupcake bakery down by Rich Island knocks it out of the park!!! Why not buy cupcakes from them? Then, we could have a little sweet treat, once in a while, without going overboard! North Merritt Island needs healthy places to eat!!!

FANTASTIC!!! The service was superior & the food fantastic! The portions are really big & not expensive at all. It is the perfect family friendly diner. The Fried Chicken sandwich was huge & the Reuben was as well. The owner is sweet & friendly. Definitely a great place to go & HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

The closest breakfast place to Kennedy Space Center and with the 15 minutes out of the way to get some good food before KSC. Their omelettes are really good and I recommend their Athenian omelette or Pastrami omelette. The potatoes that come with both are solid. Service was great. The place is small, but it wasn't crowded.

Home-cooking, casual, family-friendly cafe. Friendly employees. Good service and food Breakfast all day. Good for lunch or dinner. From out of state w/family living close-by, we'd passed by on several visits & family had never tried it either. It was a good choice for lunch for us several times. And Merritt Island family will be back. Chicken-fried steak w/gravy, home-style crispy fried potatoes, two eggs cooked your way, warm biscuit, apple pie ala mode - what's not to like? Hole-in-the wall, in strip shop in a quiet area. Don't pass it up.

We return here for the great food, the friendly service and the wonderful atmosphere. The food and sweet tea is always so good and the deserts are so delicious. But the atmosphere is quiet enough to be able to carry on a conversation. It's also a great drive to get here.

Breakfast was delicious! Service was great. Would come back. French toast Check out the sausage BLT w cheese perfect

Holy crap!!!!!! This is one of the best most funniest places I have ever been!!! If you are on your way any where in the area go here I promise you will not be let down! The owner is........ no words.... short of amazing!!!! I am glad we stopped here. Oh by the way the food was great to!!!!

We've been coming here for years. Great family that owns it, with a long term staff that feels like family! Food is consistently good, they have breakfast all day . The deserts are unbelievably good. Enough variation in the menu, quality in the ingredients, and extra specials make it easy to dine here multiple times a week. The owner, Delores, has great integrity. I witnessed her be willing to lose long term customers rather than allow them to keep their dogs in direct sunlight, in a non-running car. She offered to allow them to park directly in the back, if they'd roll down the windows enough to allow a good breeze; and she offered to watch the dogs through the door for them. They left, angry, because they didn't want to do that and she wouldn't allow them to leave the animals in harms way. Another customer had brought situation about the dogs to her, she checked to ensure the car wasn't running or the dogs had adequate airflow and shade. When she realized they didn't, she knew she had to handle it. She probably helped the customer that left avoid broken windows due to people witnessing the dogs in that heat. She cares about her staff, her customers, and innocent animals!

What a great find after spending the day at the Kennedy Space Center. Great food, great service, priced right. I had a Gyro platter which was excellent. The manager was a sweetheart who checked on us several times. Seemed like plenty of locals there so you know it will be good. We were not disappointed.

I stopped in for breakfast and the waiter told me they had a 2-2-2 special. 2 eggs, 2 bacon or sausage and 2 French toast or pancakes for $7.85. So I went with two sunny-side eggs, two strips of bacon and two french toast with coffee. Everything was eggsellent! Especially the French toast which was the best French toast I have ever had. They always have very good food here and very good service. I recommend them highly.

Stopped by for lunch. I've been here a couple times before. The same friendly new York style service and good food. Today I had crab bisque and a crab cake sandwich with fries. The crab bisque was very tasty and the sandwich was filled with crab and full of flavor. I'll be back

I had breakfast there again this morning and found their breakfast is very consistent. I have the chicken fried steak and eggs and it didn't disappoint. The wait staff are very entertaining and everyone gets along well. Good consistent food every time

We've been coming here for years we love it it's home cooking and it's the best always they take great care to make sure that everything taste delicious and comes out fresh and you get a good portion. I love getting the sandwiches and sometimes the Greek food but mostly I enjoy the sandwiches because I can eat half and take the other half home. Their desserts are amazing I love love love the chocolate cake I can never get enough of it so I always get that to go if you haven't tried this place and you live in Merritt Island you really should

Great food, great people, great selection, great place. Awesome deserts buy a serving or a whole pie or cake and take it home! You won't be disappointed A local favorite

Girl blowing nose then tried to serve me coffee without washing her hands. I kindly asked her to wash her hands first. Then they served me coffee with lipstick all over the cup. I laughed and said thats two strikes, Im out and walked out.

Wow!!! The perfect breakfast diner food. Excellent quality and portions. Fast and friendly service It's where the locals eat. We'll definitely be back soon.

Always great, breakfast is fast and good. A lot of times we order to gos, the club sandwich is best in the area, Great service!

Good value. Delicious, nice presentation, friendly and efficient waitperson. I had the small Greek salad which was large enough that I took some home. Lots of feta cheese, generous amount of sliced ripe tomatoes, kalamata olives, green peppers. It was heavenly.

The Causeway Diner is a great stop for great food! I love their French toast. It's thick slices and flavorful. Our server sat us down very quickly and was attentive throughout our stay. All my friends had different meals and they were all satisfied. Also, I love that the bacon is crispy just like how it's suppose to be. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a quality meal.

10/10 best breakfast experience I have had in Florida !!! The service was one of the best serving experiences I have ever encountered . The food was phenomenal and I just feel like they went above and beyond the o make our experience memorable . Me and my family will absolutely be back

Suks! They burn the English Muffin for Eggs-Benedict, ruins flavor; Skimpy on home-fries; Meh! Dirty interior, sticky seats; Gross; Should not be hard to properly toast an English muffin - but YES - they screwed that up. So Eggs benedict tastes like burnt toast; Obvious the cooks don't give a crap about serving quality food. So - if you burn something - cook or prepare it again - don't serve it to the paying customer. Dirty interior with sticky crap all over the booth seats and tables. Just a dumpy feel. No thanks!

I really have to give Causeway Diner a 5 star.. Went with the kids last weekend and it was amazing as always. After not being able to dine out for a long time, it was refreshing to sit while someone else does the cooking.. The portions were plentiful, fresh and hot!! I highly recommend Causeway Diner for that extra special breakfast..

Great breakfast place. Super quick and friendly staff. The menu has something for everyone. And the daily specials are not to be missed! You can't go wrong!

OMG. the food is amazing. The Ruben was perfect. Burger. Flame cooked I think the roll was homemade. It sure tasted like it. Fish perfect. 2 very large pieces. The fry's were the best I ever tasted and I am not a French fry fan. Oh also the Greek salad. Very Greek and very delicious. Our waitress was the best. Honest about the food. She is amazing at her job. I saw the meatloaf go by and it looked huge and homemade.

Nothing beats this diner, from The service to the home cooked meals . The portions are plentiful, and the prices are fair. Char grilled hamburgers are the best around , you can taste the char and the Turkey dinner is delicious.

Food is gross, atmosphere is gross, this place once held higher standards in their food, service and atmosphere. It just keeps going down. Really sad, it was once a yummy spot to enjoy w decent prices and great daily specials.

I would give this place ZERO stars if I could. My family and I ate at this restaurant for the first time while on vacation. The service was poor and the food wasn't good at all. I felt very disappointed giving the other reviews. I feel like I got robbed. Our waitress was very rude and nasty. I think the dinner could use a make over. Very old fashion. I will never eat here again.

Expectations are everything ... And nothing ... This is a very unassuming little diner in a little office park type building ... I was hungry, wanted something fast and not too expensive, my friend whose house I stayed at last night suggested this place so I gave it a shot, I mean who can mess up breakfast (even if I was eating at 2pm). She said she wasn't sure how late they are open and indeed they close at 3, so good I wasn't much later coming ... And like a typical diner they offer far more than breakfast but that was what I was after ... I came in ready for a 3 or maybe 4 star experience based on looks, and it is a diner, right? I was greeted at the door by Chris who seated and served me. He was polite and helpful on the spot. I ordered two eggs over easy with extra crispy bacon, grits and an English muffin for 30¢ more than regular toast. He asked toasted or grilled, and my automatic response was already spitting out "toasted" while he described grilled and I immediately changed my mind opting to try it their way. So, simple breakfast, why five stars? Well the grits are the best I've eaten since the last time I made my own a coupe years ago ... I love to cook, but I travel now and haven't really figured that out yet, cooking in the van. So I often find things that I do well to be disappointing if they aren't close to as good. But these grits were as creamy as mine, and just fantastic. The extra crispy bacon? Cooked to a t! Crispy all the way across, no undercooked spots and not burnt, divine, and the over easy eggs were exactly as expected. And that grilled English muffin I opted to try? Now I want them that way all the time! Thanks Chris for the excellent service, and causeway diner for a great meal.

Great little hidden locals' spot! My husband had the egg salad club and loved it. The 4 stars us only because the lunch special quesadilla I had was fabulous in every way (size, execution, etc.) except one: it didn't have any Mexican flavor! It needed some salsa to give a more Latinx flavor and I'm not talking about heat, but about the spicy flavors of a little jalapeño, a little cilantro, a little lime, etc. That would have made it a 5. We will definitely return when we're in this area again.

The food is amazing the staff are awesome! We go often and would go more if my budget would let me the Athenian omelette is to die for !!

Great breakfast, awesome service and prices reasonable! All 4 of us said our meal was the best ever. Best garden omelette, best country fried steak, best Belgian waffle. Mike was a great server.

Horrible customer service, walked in at 10:45am on a Friday the place had maybe 4 tables occupied, not busy at all...Server from behind counter yells "sit anywhere " but never bothered to come serve us, we got our own menus and steadily waited, after approximately 20 minutes another person walks in and the same server Greet him and gets him a menu and walks him to a table and says "can I get you something to drink?" Then walks away never looking our way...so we politely get up and say "Obviously you don't want to serve us " and we leave...WILL NEVER GO BACK AND WILL WARN ALL OF OUR FRIENDS!

It's so yummilous i could die for those pancakes! 10/10 would gobble it down again!Traditional BreakfastTraditional Breakfast pancakes!

Awesome food, fast service, everything was fresh. Chicken was diffinately fresh and was never frozen.
