Hi! I have always enjoyed my Wednesday and Thursday night dinning experiences. The reason being Everley is always awesome and great. My friends and I have stopped coming on those days because she hasn’t been there on those days. Where is Everley on Wednesday’s and thursdays we miss her. We would bring the crowd on those days if she was working. Please bring her back on those days!!!

No trip to West Palm Beach is complete without a visit to Howley’s. This quaint and quirky diner serves classic favorites since 1950 and their motto is “Cooked in sight…must be right!” With a smattering of local artwork on the walls and traditional diner seating inside, we opted for their outdoor area. No wait on a Wednesday evening, so our Server Marky started us off once we sat with an order of fried green tomatoes with remoulade. After perusing the long menu and trying to decide what to get we settled on a French Dip with sweet potato fries for her, and the TV Dinner special for me. Tonight’s selection was chicken cordon bleu with mashed potatoes, green peas, and a brownie served on a metal tray, a relic of a bygone era perfectly preserved at Howley’s.Everything is cooked to order here, and since good things come to those who wait, but depending on what you ordered, be prepared with some conversation starters to pass the time. Don’t worry, it’s not forever and it totally worth it!Food came out piping hot and in generous portions. This eclectic eatery has just about everything in the menu to please all comers. After all, 72 years doesn’t just happen overnight. Enjoy!

BE PREPARED TO QUEUE!!! Very popular spot, so get here on time to avoid too long a wait. It’s the staff that make the difference! We’ve been here a few times, always treated like a special guest, in a spot that’s just kinda cool! AMBIANCE - diner style breakfast joint, with quirky and cool accents, staff bring some fun and energy to the place too. MENU - does everything you want for breakfast and more, plenty of egg options, thick pancakes and much more ? BOOZE - they make 4 scoop ice cream milkshakes, and yes you can add a shot or two … fresh squeezed OJ, want a vodka shot with that? Local hipster brews? They got that too!!!Just a great vibe to start your day!

Not too busy when my wife and I came for lunch. We shared entrées of Greek Pasta and Vegetarian Lasagna. Both were quite tasty. Service was good. A pleasant atmosphere and dining experience.

Friendly staff, great food

We came at the recommendation of some lovely docents at the Armory Arts Center. What a wonderful place! The food was so delicious, all homemade, cooked to order, arrived hot and tasty! Our server was fabulous - we asked for a recommendations as we were wavering between a few items. She recommended the turkey club which was wonderful - nice slices of real turkey, perfectly cooked bacon & toast, fresh tomato & lettuce, just enough mayo. We shared the sweet potato fries and onion rings - both were outstanding! We had to take half our meals home. Service was terrific - our charming server checked in with us every little while and our glasses of iced teas were never empty.

The place is a legendary spot for food. It has a diner feel and it's falling apart in some places, but it's all part of the charm. You can feel the history in this place and the employees had great confident attitudes that let you know they would take care of you. The food was fast and good and reasonably priced. The location is good and the hours are much better than some of the other places in town,

We visited for the first time this week after visiting the Palm Beach Zoo and Howley's did not disappoint. We were greeted by the staff and promptly sat. Our server, Kristen, was bubbly and helpful. We started with the fried mozzarella which tasted fresh and had a flavorful marinara for dipping. We also tried the lemonade and it tasted fresh and not overly sweet or tart. We each tried a different entree - country fried steak, brisket sandwich, chicken Philly, and the brisket burrito. The brisket was tender and super delicious. The country fried steak was probably the table favorite. We even asked for extra gravy. Kristen checked on us throughout our meal and gave us wonderful service. For dessert, we tried the key lime pie, vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce, and the peanut butter pie. Kristen explained the ice cream comes from a local creamery. We left super satisfied and with plans to return soon.

Great cozy atmosphere with friendly staff. Good coffee and amazing home fries.

Been coming here for over 20 years. Most of the meals are delicious. We went for the St Patrick's Day extravaganza special corned beef, cabbage, carrots and spuds. It was the best. Period. Susan, the manager, was bright and particularly friendly and capable. It was a most memorable St Patrick's Day home cooked meal that we will remember for a long time.
