    This was a fabulous breakfast with wonderful servers, delicious huge portions and cleaner than I have seen in years in the area. We sat 3 for breakfast then needed to sit with 2 who joined late, they were immediately accomodating.

    I love this place! Very much like a Greek diner I would expect to find back in NY. There are lots of Greek favorites, as well as a great selection of American and Italian favorites as well too. The restaurant does daily specials that come with sides, and a soda and dessert. Hard to beat the value here!

    I love this restaurant. As soon as we arrive from Pennsylvania, the first thing we do is have lunch at the Palm!! Our favorites are the tuna sandwich, beef barley soup and Greek salad. Trying a BLT today. The staff is wonderful. Today we had Danielle. She was awesome!

    Good old, New England feeling and real home fries with potato slices, not frozen shredded garbage. Great breakfast specials will be back again.

    I am a retired Publix manager for several years and once a month a group of old timers retired Publix managers get together for breakfast here. We live the food and the atmosphere and service is great too. Not too fancy just more like family atmosphere.

    My tennis group goes there regularly for a late breakfast after playing. Food is always well prepared, fresh, and hot, and the portions generous. Given the volume, it's amazing how the kitchen always prepared food exactly as ordered. But it's the staff that steals the show. From ownership up front to the wait staff, there truly is service with a smile. Coming from the diner capital of the world-New Jersey-i can vouch that The Palm Diner gets it right.

    Why 5 stars? Its so darn hard to run a business let alone a restaurant this size in today's day and age. It was our first visit and for what they do here it's 5 out of 5. Now I read all the reviews good and bad and what I believe is even if you aim to please everyone, you cant. From my experience I would say their intentions are to please. While our visit was not perfect, it was a darn great one and a good value. I grew up working at a Jewish Deli restaurant so I have some insight into the business. While this is a Greek diner, they do jewish and Italian classics well. Menu is extensive but not like the multi page books you would find at a Jersey diner. The classics are covered. Customers are a steady stream of boomers, average 70, and your fair share of walkers. Waitress not too far behind but enthusiastic and clearly caring experienced in nicely dealing with the bs and issues that come with an aging crowed. And because they seem happy, you know they are a reflection of management. I didn't meet the owner but you can summite he knows his business and cares for his customers and staff. Atmosphere is what you would expect once you see the place. Things seemed clean, but plastic menu holders in tables could use some attention. Unfortunately I forgot to check the bathrooms. I loved that they had the prices for the beverages on the menus. I love that menus were menus and none of the BS computer crap and paying at the table. As you would expect your pay when you're finished at the counter like a true diner. We didn't see any signs or rules. Everything was straightforward and they were accommodating. Our waitress was as experienced as they get. While she wasn't great at making suggestions, she was really helpful and making sure we took advantage of any specials that they had. Food was exceptional. I even for what I didn't like which was only one thing, it was all great. Sure I could pick things out and say I didn't like this or I didn't like that but considering the amount of food, what they were serving was right on par and pretty exceptional. Now the soups I confirmed were homemade and exactly as I suspected after tasting them. The split pea suit was one of my favorite. Nice and rich and thick and flavorful and not too salty. The matzo ball suit came with an overly fluffy ball and a bowl filled with noodles and chicken and vegetables. A bit salty for my taste but I still really good. It reminds me when I used to make matzo balls and learn to make them fluffy in my uncle's restaurant. Very similar. My family does rock hard matzo balls so as you can expect they weren't perfect for me but enjoyable. I think that we were full after the soup. Then we tried four different entrees. I had the fish and chips. The taste was wonderful. I think the fish was a little bit wet. The breading was not crunchy but I would say very good. Good size portion of fish I think I got three or four strips. I don't know what kind of fish it was. I imagine it was fresh fish. Now the most exceptional thing was the french fries. I would give them 10 out of 10 on the french fries. Everyone loved them. My daughter got the lasagna which was out of character for her. The portion was insanely large especially for a little girl and she had a valid attempt but took most of it home. The sauce was sweet and flavorful and chunky. It tasted homemade. The meat was homemade meat not just ground beef but I think that they made something special with the meat. Flavorings and spices were exceptional. The achie's over the top was nicely browned and perfect. It brought back great memories. My crazy son ended up with the grilled cheese and bacon which he inhaled and said he loved it as well as the fries. My mom got the quesadilla with chicken period now it look beautiful. Her complaint was too much chicken and not enough onions and vegetables and cheese. Okay, I think that's a personal preference. Maybe when ordering you could and make a request to have it done the way you like it. Oh and the coleslaw was not classic. Maybe it was a Greek coleslaw. Ran out of spac
