Angels Dining Car - Palatka (FL)

5 /5 Angel loftis: I had lived 30 minutes away from this place my entire life and I finally got around to visiting. It did not disappoint! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was so cool! I will definitely be returning!

5 /5 Sheena: I was very hesitant about dining here with it being so old and small. I pictured unsanitary conditions and overcooked greasy food. I was beyond wrong. In fact, I was so impressed I came back a second time within a week! I will continue to make the 45 minute drive to this diner frequently, its that good! The fried chicken is juicy and the breading is dry and crispy, not greasy at all. The portions are nice! The chili is amazing, and the chili cheese fries are so good it feels like you have stepped back in time. The atmosphere is truly nostalgic!! The staff are all friendly and attentive. I would give this place 10 stars if I could.

5 /5 Matt “GenXBiker”: This landmark of North Central Florida is a must-visit restaurant. It is very small, so dont go during crowded times. The entire restaurant is on a train car. There is limited parking and seating available, so you may need to wait. Prices are low and the food is authentic. We ordered milkshakes because we saw the old milkshake machines, where they are actually hand-turned. They have the best burgers in Palatka, but I go for breakfast. The interior is crammed, so dont be offended. The bench seating needs to be replaced, and it hurts your butt. I didnt get to see the bathrooms, but they make a genuine effort to ensure everything is clean. It is a unique experience, bring the kids while places like this still exist.

4 /5 Ken Kirby: Admittedly, we were there for a car show/cruise-in and it was all but full even though we arrived 45 minutes before the start time. We figured on a couple of milk shakes and that took a while due to it being a full house. Parking was obviously at a premium due to the show, but on a normal day, parking is usually plentiful. The shakes were good and I remember the food being good as well (we hadnt eaten there in a LONG time. All in all, the nostalgia brings us back periodically and Im glad theyre still there.
