Colee's

Wonderful place to stop for breakfast. Friendly staff, nice clean restaurant. Food was really good and reasonably priced.

This amazing little charm of a restaurant deserves an easy five stars for many reasons! Everything about this place made me feel at ease, and very “right at home”, and the crew are friendly and the atmosphere is very laid back, and the seating is comfortable 🙂 Let’s get right to the food!! The menu is large and varied, everything from gyros to burgers, and from fish to chicken! I had their “two egg special” with sausage, and EXCELLENT fried potatoes, but one thing that really grabbed my attention was their home-made bread!! It was served sliced, buttered, and toasted, and this golden delight was practically melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and before I forget they also have EXCELLENT sweet tea, with free refills! Their tea is perhaps the best YET??! Atmospherically the tunes were a pleasant newer mix, and it had hassle-free WiFi, and I totally enjoyed my visit there.

I enjoyed the food, fresh and tasty! I got Italian wedding soup and salad, fried okra and a sweet tea! Service was good, I will be back!

First Timers! Dropped my grandson off to football practice Saturday & he suggested Colee’s. There we went, my daughter & I. Let me start with the service. Our server was training & doing a great job! Her trainer; she was really doing an excellent job! (So sorry I not good with names) Now the food!!! It was really good! The biscuits were super soft. Just like home. Going back to try lunch next!

Great little place for lunch! We went there with a bunch of friends. The service was good for a very busy day. I had the house salad and a gyro with sweet potato fries. The salad was a pretty big size it was basic but that’s what I wanted. The Greek dressing was ok. The Gyro was perfect. Soft, sweet pita, a decent amount of lamb, lettuce tomato, onion and feta. The tzatziki was fantastic. Excellent sandwiches. With that said, the highlight was the sweet potato fries. A thick, wide crinkle cut that allowed the outside to be crispy but the inside was soft. No question the best sweet potato fries I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot!). Even If you go only for the sweet potato fries, it would be worth the trip!

We had breakfast this morning at Colee’s. This restaurant has a great hometown, old fashioned diner feel. We felt welcomed by everyone from the host who seated us to the attentive waitress. Our meals were delicious and came with homemade bread for toast or biscuits.

A small simple country dinner. The food is home made the bread is made in house I even fairly certain that they keep the chicken's in the back in order to whisper their eggs forth as needed! (I'm being a bit facetious about the chickens) all the dishes/ food I have eaten at Colee's has been above repute. I love it, the wife loves it. Thank you Colee's!

A little snug in there but worth it. Very good food and service. The homemade rolls are crazy good not to mention giant cinnamon rolls.... Did I mention giant.

Seat yourself and get to eatin'! This place has an old-school, fast-paced, diner vibe with a strong support of the locals. Wife and I stopped in for the "big buns" but when we saw the menu couldn't resist the biscuits and gravy! Everything tasted amazing and fresh, biscuits were definitely homemade. They brought out the big bun first and it was a delight with some hot coffee. Highly recommend this small business!

It looks like a small mom and pop diner. and I absolutely love it. The service was excellent within one minute of me being in the building. They asked me if I would like to be seated or if I wanted to go order. I've said this many times I absolutely love French toast, and I always judge it based upon whether or not it needs syrup. I ordered the French toast with one egg and the smoked sausage. The egg was your standard egg nothing special. The smoked sausage link was a sausage that I have never tasted it before, but it was good very flavorful and was not fatty at all. And now the king of the show or queen depending on who you're talking to... the French toast. I will say that the French toast was good however to me it tasted more like when you get a slice of bread at home, put butter on it with cinnamon and sugar and you put it in the oven on broil and let it toast a bit. It WAS delicious. The bread was delicious, but it did not taste like your typical French toast to me however, I would go back and order it again. They also had some really huge cinnamon rolls in there. I did not get one of those, but they were quite literally about the size of a person's plate. All in all I definitely would visit the diner again I could go without the egg, but the French toast and sausage definitely would have.

Found this place by accident and thought let's try this local spot. Ohhh & they are the home of the big Cinnabon! Yummy. Home made breads & friendly stay. Good breakfast & lunch. Pepsi products (blah that's my thoughts I'm a coke drinker ) a good amount of parking. A must check out spot!

Best burger I've had in Palatka!! Not only is the burger fresh, they bake their own rolls every morning!!!! Adds so much to it! Be sure to add bacon, it's thick cut. Near and clean inside. Very attentive staff, they work great together and help out each other the ensure patrons are happy and get served fresh hot orders. And if ambitious, get one of their massive cinnamon buns, covers a whole dinner plate, bring an appetite or someone to share!!!! Also, not on menu but you can get rolls to go, $5 for 6!!!

Clean. Service good, Diner quality food. Hamburger was a patty. But fries, onion rings and sweet potato fries tasty.

Wow, breakfast was good! Place is bigger than it appears from the outside. Retro decor and great staff!

Good food, great service! Can't beat the gravy and biscuits, even a half order is big. We always eat there when I come to town.

We've lived in Hastings for a few months and finally tried this place out. It's a very busy little place, but the service was great and friendly. Our server Lisa was awesome. There was a huge party next to us that was extremely obnoxious but she handled it very well. The food is definitely homemade for real. The pancake i had was, i kid you not, probably one of the top 3 best pancakes I've ever had. The homefries didn't even need ketchup they were seasoned nicely. The grits were pretty good as well. My wife had the french toast and it was so delicious. I'll definitely be here again. The prices aren't to bad either.

A hidden gem in Palatka with great food an great service. It's a local favorite an I can see why. The food has that down home cooking feel with a great service to go along with it. Everything I have tried there so far has been terrific. So I highly recommend trying this place and never judge a book by its cover because like I said the food and service are perfect

I came into this place looking to satisfy my country breakfast tooth and it's exactly what I found. What a poetic way to dish the classics that are missed by others so often. It takes a certain set of skills to be a cook in this type of establishment. You have to be fast, attentive and blessed with a great ADD syndrome. I know......Trust me. And so I'm expecting my eggs to be over cooked when I order over easy, but not here. This cool hit the mark on point! The service was outstanding. The warm greeting felt like walking into my best friend's home. I can see why all the regulars keep coming. I'll have to try their lunch menu next.

This is the one of the best places to eat for breakfast - although it's off of the beaten path it's definitely a true must to stop by in a little town! Our visit started off with being greeted with Chesley - smiling away. Chesley was so polite and attentive to our needs as we were a group of six. She'd constantly said yes mam'm and sir which is not heard of nowadays after every sentence. Hats off to her parents for those manners! The place has old school red and white vinyl chairs and outdoor hand saws, hammers, etc on the wall - yes a true southern diner in Florida. They had home made bread which was delicious. My husband had the French toast, two in our group had the BLTs - made with their home made bread, a big Ol tomato and the largest leaf of lettuce. I jumped out of my box and ordered the corn beef combo with the home fries with onions, homemade toast - delicious. If you're lucky enough you can buy a home made loaf to go! And the best I've left for last we took home the biggest cinnamon bun ever made - watch out Cinnibon you got some seriously competition in Florida! Chesley says it warms up in 30 seconds. Thanks again we will definitely be back and highly recommend this local diner in Palatka.

Food was horrible and wasn't what was advertised on menu and no flavor but I ate it anyway and the waitress was horrible had to wait for refills and our bill will never go back again ever

Breakfast was excellent. Their biscuits are HUGE! Service was good, tried and true staff.

Food was amazing and fresh the grilled turkey sandwich was fireeeeee ..Service was good and friendly. Im going back today for lunch again can't wait

Great food, excellent service, and a real homey, country feel. The bread is Unbelievably good - try it in the French toast for a real treat! The homemade cinnamon roll is to die for, too. I've eaten there for breakfast and lunch and have thoroughly enjoyed everything I've ordered. Delicious!!

Excellent breakfast with outstanding service. Biscuit was huge, fresh and warm...yummy. All for a reasonable price. Highly recommend.

Fish and shrimp were very good, very generous portions. Server was awesome and kept the tea filled!

This is my go to spot for breakfast and never disappoints. Very accommodating with sugar free diets. Just order pancakes and they have sugar free syrup! My fiancée always orders the breakfast bowl and is always satisfied and he is pretty picky!

My mom eats here every week I finally went with her and now I know why she goes every week this place is amazing you have to check them out

Such a nice local place to grab a good bite to eat. The servers are all kind and the food was ready in 10-15 min. I ordered the BLT and added an egg and it topped it off nicely! Looking forward to coming back soon!

What an awesome and amazing place to eat. I had the grilled chicken with broccoli and mashed potatoes. The chicken was so juicy with that grilled flavor left me wanting more. Veggie burger was good and there were a lot of fries. Amazing staff, they give you cookies with your check. Those cookies are the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. Everyone had a smile and seemed happy to be there. Definitely a new favorite spot for me.

Awesome little breakfast spot. Good coffee, hot food, excellent service. What more can you ask for? If you have a sweet tooth, you must try their cinnamon roll "big bun".

It was extremely difficult trying to place an order with a young man that was severely under trained, for 2 basic breakfast sandwiches right off the menu (he was very nice tho). Told 15 mins, was 40 mins. A woman assisted us and was so nice/ helpful! We were upset at that point over many things and weren't as kind to her (sorry if you see this) Another young girl coming from the back definitely could use some training in speaking to customers. Our sandwiches were actually sitting for a while as my nephew said the bag they handed us was back there for 10+ mins and he asked the young man about our order when they brought that out. He said ours wasn't done yet. We left and ate them immediately. They were cold, dry and way more bread than anything. I've heard good things and will give them another try as this was our 1st time. Maybe dine in when we have a lot of time, but it will definitely be a while. They definitely need to train the staff a little better. I hope to update this with a more positive review later.

Can you say, "bland"? Where did the flavor go? Nice try, but I need something to smell and taste good.

My boyfriend and I came here today for lunch. The building and decor are very retro which I think is great! We were instantly and warmly greeted and told we could sit wherever we wanted. Our drink order was taken as soon as we sat down. I got the lunch Shrimp Platter and everything on it was delicious. The fries were hot and perfectly cooked, soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The shrimp were fresh and lightly battered. Then to top it off, two free homemade cookies were brought out to us. Our server was very friendly and prompt. Prices are more than reasonable especially for the quality and portions. Will definitely be back to try the breakfast!

First meal in Palatka and it was a wonderful experience. Prompt friendly service and delicious food. I went for a late breakfast and picked the Breakfast Bowl - 2 sunny side up eggs with bacon in a bowl of cheese grits! Can't ask for more than that. And the fresh bread that comes on the side already buttered is to die for! Well, if you're a bread and butter lover like me. I've been thinking about it ever since and can't wait to go back. Too bad it's Sunday!

Nice little quaint spot with great food and friendly staff! Homemade bread is to die for and the cinnamon buns are out of this world.

Heard about the restaurant from the owners daughter. Drove out from St. Augustine for a Saturday morning breakfast. Service was somewhat slow because the place was so full of locals. Our waitress, Amber, was wonderful. Food was excellent. If you want a great redneck place (as reviewed by a ya-hey yankee), this is the spot. I'll be back!

Little hidden gem Quite unassuming from the street view... Once inside, friendly waitstaff, good eats... French toast was delish ( learned from waitress that the owner makes the bread ) Also the Greek omelette added shrimp, yum

I don't give many 5 star ratings but this little restaurant on the corner was a pleasant surprise! We just ordered hamburgers and French fries and the hamburgers reminded me of the ole time smashed burgers that we got in the 60s and 70s! The fries were super crispy and delicious. AND they bring your bill along with chocolate chip cookies ! The staff members were very friendly. We almost didn't stop because we weren't sure it was open. By the time we got our food, the place was packed with locals!

I love the shrimp and fish baskets with fries or sweet potato fries. Value priced and plentiful for lunch. Breakfast menu includes corned beef hash, my favorite, eggs and hash browns (I ask to include onions). Homemade bread is tasty as well.

Great Food Great Service....the bread and cookies are to die for. Support this local business, you won't be disappointed. We all crave Home cooking, we dont have to prepare...this is your place..the pork chop sandwich is better than anyone I've ever had. The tomatoes were so fresh and all the sandwiches are made with Stacey's BREAD!!! Breakfast and lunch only..get there early and share the cinnamon roll...cute welcoming dining area. We go to Palatka quite often...they have antiques, a gun range and gun shop, something for both of us..so we will be visiting Colees often. They also use the bread for the best Toast ever!!!

Our favorite diner in town!! The only thing my husband and I get is their chicken basket and gyro.

Yikes. Ordered a chicken gyro. Received a pita bread with feta cheese crumbles, some veggies and chicken slices that were so disgusting that I wouldn't even give them to our dogs. Not sure what made them refer to this as a gyro. I will give it to them, the lettuce and tomatoes were fresh (onions, not so much) We also got mediocre hush puppies. Perhaps I just ordered the wrong thing, but if the quality of the food here aligns with my "gyro", I don't know how this place stays in business. There is a zaxby's nearby. Spare yourself and go there.

Great local diner style restaurant. We stopped based on good Yelp reviews on our way to Ravine Gardens State Park, and were pleasantly surprised. Delicious food, great service, and the best giant homemade cinnamon roll we have ever had. Give it a try!

Great Breakfast. Hard to find good bacon cooked right, but they nailed it. Great price point too. Full belly!! I can't give a good review to the server because she never did bring my coffee which was asked for twice, but an alert manager made it all good so the rating of 5 stars stands.

This is your basic local diner. They have good sandwiches (with plenty of meat and cheese), breakfast, and great cinnamon rolls. The service is good and the staff is friendly. We have been there 3 times, during our 5-week stay, here, and have enjoyed each visit.

The diner is in the middle of nowhere so how does it survive? With incredibly good food, that's how! Amber, our waitress, happily walked our party of four through the menu, explaining that all their breads were homemade, along with a cinnabon the size of a large platter. Three of us chose the chicken salad special, one with fries, one with coleslaw and the other potato salad. Due to a gluten allergy, the fourth diner have a veggie burger without the bun. Amber happily accommodated all our questions and requests. And she was spot on in her recommendation - the chicken salad was served on large homemade buns and was terrific! The sides were good also. And three of us couldn't resist the cinnabon so we shared it as our dessert. We definitely were given and ate more than necessary. Needless to say, when you pass through Palatka, don't give it any thought. Just stop in for a great meal. Ask for Amber and she'll hook you up with a great lunch. Enjoy! (And thanks Amber for the complimentary chocolate chip cookies!)

We stopped in for a bite to eat for lunch and have been wanting to try it since it moved from St Augustine to Palatka. Service was fast and friendly. Food was out in less than ten minutes. My husband ordered a gyro which was done perfectly..... Not your run of the mill fast food gyro, but a true Greek standard! I ordered the tuna melt. Fresh tuna salad melted on a homemade bun is what I got and it was delicious! We will definitely be coming back!

French toast is amazing ! The bread was so good and fresh. Good portions and fast service. Will definitely be back

Good home cooked food. All the bread, rolls, and biscuits are made from scratch! So good-
