Penelope's Diner

Excellent experience. So thankful that we stumbled upon this place as we were driving north on the Florida Turnpike. The place was busy, so we knew it was going to be good. I ordered the corned beef hash, 2 eggs over medium with toast, and sausage. The flavor was perfect, as well as the preparation. Service was perfect. We only waited a short period of time. It is a must try when in the area.

Better than an average dinner as far as food and service for sure. We went 11a.m. Sunday morning. We dined outdoors. After learning that the falafels were completely homemade, as well as most of there items, we skipped the idea of breakfast. We were very happy with our decision. The menu was great. Being vegetarians there were plenty of options and clearly indicated on the menu. The service was just great and a working owner stopped by and greated us. He knew the folks who recommended it to us. We really enjoy visiting locally owned establishments and this is a good one.

(This is a review mainly of their lunch menu, I did not try their breakfast food besides a few pancakes and eggs which were fine.) Food has no flavor and is very overpriced, expect to pay almost 20 a person if you want any decent quantity of food. Steak, potatoes are all undercooked and lacking seasoning of any kind. Even putting lots of salt can't save the flavor. Chicken is fine but really nothing special and the overall presentation is very unappealing.Service isn't particularly bad but not particularly good either. Overall just very bland and unappealing, would not recommend wasting money here.

Not good at all, the potatoes were over cooked I ordered the shawarma and it definitely is not a shawarma. All the food we ordered to go was just plain bad. I'm not sure what the expediter was thinking when he sold the order because nothing looked right much less appetizing. I love family restaurants but I recommend that you stay away from this one.

It was less than ok but not aweful. Customer service was great. The waffles, eggs and Grits were good. However I ordered the ocean omelet and was really disappointed. The menue states that the ocean omelet is made with lobster, crab and shrimp. Also with a choice of cheese. The omelet was packed with IMITATION crab meat and NO lobster and NO cheese( I chose goat cheese). I felt cheated because what is advertised is what should be served. If I'm paying the price for certain items then that's what I should get. That wasn't the case this morning. Maybe I'd come back here again but I will definitely stay away from the seafood.
