Angel's Dining Car

We went there for lunch today. I got the flounder platter with onion rings, which I thought was very good. Glad I read the reviews where some complained about not enough seasoning. I asked my server and she says they try to keep seasoning in moderation for customers that have a lower tolerance for seasoning. Then suggested I get the Blackened seasoning- which I did. It was very enjoyable, along with the onion rings. Wife, son and daughter in law all got cheeseburgers, and enjoyed them. Fries did not look as good as my onion rings. Onion rings - maybe a tad greasy, but they totally hit the spot for me today! Wouldn't have changed them. Anyhow - my big tip - if you are like me and like flavor - get the fish with the blackened seasoning for more flavor. I certainly plan to go back again and would recommend it.

If you're looking to step back in time and have been wanting to dive in to some nostalgic feels, then Angels is for you. You'll be welcomed with large patio seating and a tiny counter inside what appears to be an old airstream-esque building. Angels has been slinging classics since 1932. It is Florida oldest diner. The food however, is merely average. While the burgers were properly cooked to temp, they lack seasoning. The slaw dog is your typical jumbo dog covered with store bought slaw. The onion rings had potential to be great, but just lacked seasoning and texture. The milkshakes were proper though. If you're in the area and feeling nostalgic, grab a burger. If you're going out the way for this, skip it.

If you want to be taken back in history and get a true diner feel, this is the place. Had the long diner counter with 45 records in the walls. Only thing missing was the large Juke box. The inside is very small so don't go with a large group of people. The seating at the counter is not made for larger folk and is pretty uncomfortable. The tables barely seat 4. Service was quick and all the food was like real!! The hamburger steak and the patty melts were like something I would have made at home...definitely looked hand and homemade. Nothing was overly salty and everyone enjoyed their selections. It would have been nicer to have an option of mashed potatoes with the hamburger steak but the fries were excellent crisp thin fries with little salt. The sodas were da bomb!! Loved them and we each got two...so we could try multiple flavors. They are a little pricey but were worth the splurge. There are many flavors to choose from and you can even make your own combination. Had fun experiencing real diner feel and, when in town again, will definitely stop by for another patty melt and soda.

I visited Angels for the first time for lunch. It's an old school diner. The ambiance was really neat. It was clean and well decorated. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered the fried.chicken lunch special. It was very good. The chicken was tender and moist. I chose coleslaw rather than French fries. I was not disappointed. The price was 8.99 for the chicken dinner. The total cost with ice tea was $14 with tip. I plan on going back. I recommend it.

This was another "job site" find for me. I guess more because it was basically across the street from my hotel. Such a unique restaurant deserves a try. I didn't even Yelp this one first. I threw caution into the salty breeze and walked right in.This place definitely had been around a while like they said. Nostalgia is part of the experience. The food was as expected, but the vibe here made it better.I won't say the place is clean, but I wasn't grossed out. It's still a traditional old greasy diner. Just wasn't good enough to four star it. I'd eat here again if I'm driving by, but not detouring off my GPS route for it.

No frills diner and apparently the oldest in Florida. Food was as expected. My lunchmate's burger was really good apparently as I saw it then it was gone. They had a steady line of to go orders and I heard pretty much everything on the menu being ordered. Pork chops, burgers, fish sandwiches - you name it. My catfish dinner was good. Fries probably came from under a heat lamp which is forgivable being we arrived just a few minutes before shift change. I'd return for sure. I'd also be interested to experience their fried chicken only available on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The sign says since 1932 - There are no frills.  It's dated.  It's old. It's nostalgic. It's probably not spic & span clean but it's doing what it does best - cooking up great hamburgers in a setting that spans generations.Personally I consider these types of places "bucket list" worthily - the staff upfront was energetic and friendly, I felt the kitchen lacked motivation although the food doesn't necessarily reflect this, but it does takes what seems like forever to deliver a couple of burgers and fries plus two onion rings.We grabbed a few stools at the counter (far end near the cash register) there was no waiting but lots of bumping and grinding as people formed a line to cash out or place takeout orders, hey it's a dining car so it's narrow and can be a little claustrophobic.The food - the burgers are old school they're hand formed and the patties are cooked to order so your burger will always be served hot from the grill and constructed with fresh ingredients (no complaints here I loved it) - the burger baskets are served with homemade fries and two premium onion rings, this seems to be the tradition here so it's not either / or you get both.The prices are still reasonable and it's likely this place will always be busy and you'll probably have plenty of time to enjoy one of their handmade shakes while waiting on your food to arrive so relax and take it all in - now that I've been here I have no doubt that I'll return when in the area, the bone-in fried pork chop sandwich is calling my name...

Horrible service and burger that looked like a child's portion and cooked extra well done.

They alright drinks are cold I like my drinks hot but over all it good type shit if u not full go to angle's

My wife and I try to eat at Angel's Dining Car in Palatka at least once a month. They claim it's the oldest Diner in Florida. It is a great throwback to the old aluminum Diners from the 1950's. Inside it is cozy with a few tables and counter seats. There are picnic tables outside under cover if you like the heat.Most of the time, I order the 1/2 pound hamburger with Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, slice of raw onion with mayo and ketchup. I usually trade there great French fries for onion rings. One great burger. Never been disappointed ! Once I tackled the 3/4 pounder. The burgers are always cooked to perfection.My wife usually gets a patty melt or a burger platter. The burger without the bun covered in fried onions and mushrooms. Both delicious. Angel's also has the best handmade milkshakes around. If you have room after polishing off that big burger. By the way breakfast is great at Angel's too. You just got to get there before 11am.The waitresses are the best at Angel's. They usually are working their tails off because the place is usually hopping. Warning, Angel's is not for the Starbucks crowd. It is a true dive joint. Old fixtures, tight eating area and restrooms outside. We love it and keep coming back for the delicious food.
