I’ve been coming to the Green Owl for years. I was very upset when they lost their space on Atlantic to Capital One and their bank/Juice Café. But good things come to those who wait! Back strong for the last few years, they’re back less than a block from where they were. If ever there was a 4.6 star review that should be pure fives, the Green Owl is it! I highly recommend the “Big Breakfast,” which is my go-to and today I’m going to venture out of my comfort zone and take the steak and eggs special. I’m told that Dave (Dave Gensman) says if you don’t like it, he’ll buy it—but I can absolutely guarantee that’s not gonna happen – – I’ll even come back and change my review if it does, ha ha! I brought my best friend here when he left his Job in Washington. Dave must be a great employer given that at least two of the waitresses that served me the very first couple of times I went to the restaurant on Atlantic, are still with him at least 10 or 15 years later – – even given the fact that he had to close up for a good bit of time when he lost his space. Here’s my steak and eggs, medium rare as I ordered, and yep, even better than expected! Last food comment: This is one of the ONLY (maybe the only) breakfast restaurants still offering has browns! Tired of “Home Fries?” Me too (although they have that as an option too)! And did I mention the most reasonable prices in all of Delray! Hands-down, my verdict: this is the best breakfast restaurant in Delray Beach, Florida! Period.

The Green Owl delivers a delicious breakfast and at a fair price! Just note, it is cash only there. I wish we would have found it earlier in the week as we would have eaten there everyday this week. I had the veggie scram with home fries and it was perfect! My husband had the French toast with a side of eggs. He loved his too! Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant! Note, we did carry out as you can see from the photo.

Really good food at a reasonableprice. Staff was super friendly. We had a variety of things for breakfast and all plates were clean when we were done!

This is the diner cafe of my dreams. We were greeted by the friendliest and most welcoming staff and instantly felt like part of their family. The food was superb and very affordable. We got pancakes, bacon and an egg with coffee and juice. Such an amazing hidden gem. Could not recommend enough. Note they are cash only however, there is an ATM on site.

CASH ONLY! After coffee on the beach and then a cortado at Deke's around the corner, it was time for a proper breakfast. I stopped at Green Owl and after a very short wait, was brought to a table and provided a menu. A few minutes later, a waitress took my order. Less than ten minutes later a plate with two fried eggs, two sausage patties and toast. As ordered and a tasty meal, it's clear that they want to turn over tables here. While you're not rushed, you're also not encouraged to dawdle. Which is fine and they're not pushy about it. This was an inexpensive breakfast on a Saturday morning. Just remember to have the cash. They have an (expensive) ATM in the back.

Cash only! There is an ATM machine onsite :) so no excuses. Food was great and came out very quickly. Eggs were not over cooked and bathroom was clean.

Hidden gem? Locals place? Low prices, great pancakes, French toast and potatoes.
