The Lighthouse Diner is a Jupiter landmark. Located on U.S. 1 and Beach Road across from the Jupiter Lighthouse, the Jupiter Diner opened in the early 1950's. It has been a popul.ar community gathering place and it had a long run of making memories until it closed in 2009. Thankfully the Jupiter Lighthouse was saved when it was purchased by three brothers from Queens, Ryan, Rich and Kevin Perez. At first they planned on leasing the building out. When they learned how much the Lighthouse Diner meant to Jupiter, the brothers with restaurant experience in NY decided to reopen the old diner in 2014. Their goal was to retain the nautical spirit of the previous diner while giving it an update. The original booths were reupholstered in grey with white stripes while the U-shaped counter was given more stools. Historical black-and-white photos of Jupiter are on the walls along with vintage TV show and movie posters. There are even picnic tables on the patio. The result is a refreshed diner with a retro feel. I stopped in for lunch but the Lighthouse Diner offers an all day breakfast. The menu features eggs benedict, breakfast specialties, omelettes, salads, sliders, melts, sausages, sandwiches, burgers, home cooked meals, sides, homemade pies, shakes, cocktails, craft brews, and fresh squeezed juice. They have $10 daily dine specials and they do catering. For lunch I ordered a classic BLT. Crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes and toasted bread is the ultimate comfort food. My sandwich was served was some excellent steak fries. Service was great and so was the food. I love the classic American diner vibe here. I'm so glad the Lighthouse Diner was brought back to delight a new generation of customers.

This is a diner with a great vibe. The food is excellent with great service. We had a lunch and breakfast items all which were very good and served quickly. They also offer hard shakes as well. It was a Monday so I didn't indulge in that but will on my next visit! We will definitely be back.

We came here with a few friends for brunch. The place has an old school diner vibe and it is pretty big inside with ample seating. Our server was quick and very nice. I had a mimosa which was strong and make with fresh squeezed OJ. Yum! I had a shrimp po boy which was delicious. Wish they hadn't ran out of hoagies. We shared the banana foster which was very good and not overly sweet. Overall a great place to grab a bite and everything in the menu is available all the time.

Great little spot. Breakfast is always good. Their homemade jam is amazing. The decor is weird but the restaurant is clean. They also make hard shakes. I had The Lebowski and I couldn't stop drinking it. Our waiter, Juan, was right on top of things.

The atmosphere is pretty straight forward classic diner feel which I liked. The prices are very reasonable for the quantity and quality of the food. Our waitress was very attentive. She was quick but never felt rushed and she was right on top with coffee refills. Ordered the Country Roads Benedict with American cheese on top. The eggs were perfect and the sausage gravy was in my opinion flavorful. The home fries were one of the best I have had in Florida. The shrimp and grits was very good. Shrimp was seasoned well and cooked right. There was just the right amount of spice and the grits were flavored well. The corned beef hash tasted great. Finely chopped corned beef and just the right amount of salt. Eggs were cooked perfect for this dish also. The coffee was better than some NY diner coffee.

Decided to go to this diner with my family before seeing a play at the Maltz Theater. It was close to the theater, so that made it a perfect choice. The place was really busy at lunchtime on the weekend, but they still got us a table pretty fast. The staff was friendly and outgoing. Our waitress was really nice, and had a good knowledge of the menu. The fried green tomatoes seemed to be a house specialty, so I decided to order the burger with the fried green tomato and a side of sweet potato fries (you could sub out the regular fries for sweet potato fries or tater tots for a small extra charge). My family got the fried tomato omelette and the steak sandwich. I wish we had gotten the fried green tomatoes appetizer, because the one on my burger was delicious! All the food came out pretty fast, and tasted great. The waitress was very attentive. The place had a "locals," feel that gave a very inviting atmosphere. The customers seemed to be happy, and enjoying their food. There were so many delicious items on the menu. I can't wait to come back to try some other items - though it will be a tough decision, because I would also be very happy to get my burger again. I would definitely recommend this place.

What a fantastic, local place for breakfast and lunch. The Lighthouse has a friendly and casual atmosphere and a super fresh, delicious food. It was a bit hard to find from our direction since the signage was bad but from the other way it was easy to see from the road. We were warmly greeted by every single employee we met. The staff was not only attentive but anticipated our every need (like bringing jam to the table to go with the toast that comes with the omelette). They were generous with the coffee and tea refills. The fried green tomatoes were especially great. I had some on my omelette and my friend had some on a burger. Everything was wonderful. I wish it wasn't so far from where I live. I would love to be a regular there.
