Blue Moon Diner

Hidden away in a strip mall by a Publix this place is a treasure.
From personal experience I can say that the salads, soups, chicken dishes, wraps and specials are always excellent. When I go with others at least one will always order the half pound cheese burger with fries and love it.
Adding to the quality of the food and selection, Blue Moon Diner has great prices. Two people eat a hardy lunch for under $ 15.00 with tip good.
In all the times I have been there I have never had anything but excellent service from a friendly staff.

Where do I begin? We used to enjoy the food here, sometimes dining here twice a week. The past year, we’ve noticed a decline in food and more importantly the service.
Tonight, we waited one hour for our food (2 grilled cheese, cheeseburger, fish & chips, & a turkey club). The waitress wasn’t apologetic and the food was mediocre at best. We had to get up and get our own ketchup, we weren’t offered soup or salad, and were basically ignored the entire time.
Insult to injury, a manager never showed up at the table to hear our concerns. AND we were charged full price.
Sorry guys, never again.

Excellent selection breakfast and lunch menu! Price is affordable and they give you a lot for the money! Excellent service!

Love this place, great food, fast service and friendly staff. Never too busy and the back rooms are nice and cozy. Try the chocolate milkshake, my daughter begs for those!

Have been eating here for about 2 years now off and on. The dinner is more like a restaurant very clean looking. The food is usually very good with a large selection and the service is usually very good. Prices very reasonable and portions a good size. We usually go for dinner and they have dinner specials.

Service still lacking. We are ignored most of the time. I have to take glasses up to get refills an search for extra napkins.
When will it ever get better?
There isn’t much else out here in da boonies!

Left my phone on a table at closing time. Called immediately and they said it wasn’t there. Tracked it to an apartment building but they wouldn’t help with info on employees to recover it. Mediocre food.

3.5 stars — Blue Moon feels upscale for a diner with a really nice interior, but definitely has that expansive selection diner menu you’re looking for. I’ve enjoyed lunch here many times, and know I can expect a solid, well made meal. Every time.
My go-​to meal is the pan seared salmon on mixed greens salad on the lunch menu. I love this salad. It has a nice variety of greens/​lettuce that provide a range of flavors and textures. With cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions and cheddar cheese too, it is well balanced. Add a warm, nice sized salmon filet on top that is perfectly cooked every time, and it’s a darn good salad.
Blue Moon has 2 side rooms that can be reserved for special occasions. These rooms are cozy and charming, with an even nicer vibe than the rest of the restaurant. I attended a baptism lunch here and it was really, really nice. The Italian food served at that occasion was very good. I’d absolutely recommend this restaurant for baby showers, etc.

Food is ok, Denny’s quality. Environment is great. Coffee tends to taste a little over roasted/​burned. If you like a cheap meal for breakfast this is your to go place. If you want a good, homey, hearty, fresh, breakfast, you might want to try elsewhere. My comment is only about the food quality not the place. This place is great I just wish the food tasted better.

My family and I have been eyeing this place for a while. We finally stopped by for dinner. Only real complaint that I have is that we waited so long to try it. The food was delicious. Must try their wings (buffalo) and their seafood chowder. Kids meals were only two dollars and the serving size was BIG. PLUS they got a JUMBO sized cookie included with the meal, so bonus. Wife had the chicken salad club sandwich, which was insanely good, and I had the Thanksgiving dinner plate. Portion sizes were big enough that we both couldn’t finish our meals. I could keep going on but there’s really no need to. If you’re in the area, and you want a great meal for a great price, stop by. Oh yeah. Fed my family of four, well, for less than forty bucks. What other high quality restaurant would you get that?

So, did the usual Sunday Brunch bit and decided to try a diner we hadn’t been to. I had read reviews from Unilocal and thought to give Blue Moon a shot. Ugh. First I want to start with letting everyone know that the staff were great. From the hostess to our server, and even the busboy, we were handled with the utmost courtesy and care. The FOH staff here are great. that having been said, the food here was seriously subpar. I always look for what I call «signature flavor» and Blue Moon totally lacks it unless relatively flavorless save for grease and syrup is your style. In order to get what I wanted, I basically had to combine two different orders so when you see the photo I posted, don’t think the portions here are big, they are standard. We waited for quite some time to get food which, in some places means good, but generally in SoFla means poop. Our french toast came out luke warm and had the saving grace of syrup. The bacon (also just warm, not hot) had the consistency of greasy cardboard and the scrambled eggs were wet. This type of temperature and consistency variation shows an obvious lack of timing on part of the cooking staff. To top it all off the food here gave my kid a stomach ache, and frankly left me feeling off. Ugh. Crappy food. We could’ve done better at Waffle House. wtf.

This place definitively does not have the set up of a conventional diner, in fact more like a restaurant. Very clean and staff was polite.
Their menu has almost everything you can think of from breakfast items to pasta dishes and meatloaf — you name it. I opted for the Greek Salad, which came with Feta, Kalamata olives, red onions, cucumber, tomato and greens. The greens were not exactly on the fresh side, but it was ok. The protein option was either chicken or shrimps. ($ 8.99),
I would probably come here again, but its not my favorite.
Marcy our waitress was very lovely and quick.

Go to place for lunch if you want something fast and get your money’s worth of food. Very generous portions. The 12 oz Churrasco Steak is a steal for lunch. It comes with rice, plantains, black beans and a choice of soup or salad. I like their chicken noodle soup. The Super Mess under their breakfast menu was also tasty, you can ask for egg whites. Its a casual environment with TVs. There’s a separate room in the back left side of the restaurant and also to the right of the entrance where I’ve seen a couple of baby showers being held. So its a great place for large parties.

Ok. So this is like the Brigadoon of restaurants. This ace must appear only once every 100 years, and the décor never changes. This place is at least 100 years out of date. As soon as I walked in, I started to sing the Golden Girls theme song because of all the blue hairs in this place.
After sitting down, I felt really comfortable and at ease. It was a very relaxed feel and the staff was friendly.
I ordered the Philly Chicken Sandwich. The rest of my group had soup or salad. They said it tasted good.
Ok. So we’ve been here for almost an hour. We still haven’t eaten our food. It’s just now arriving. All of it looks like it was prepackaged and zapped. Also, there’s enough salt on it to cure raw meat. Salty fast food fare that is awkwardly slow to arrive…
I would only recommend this place to people whose taste buds have died already and who are not thrown off by the effect of time travel… And the «Eye Of The Tiger» playing as they eat…
I’ve awarded them two stars because… Well… They tried…
Edit: no more than 1 minute after posting, we asked for the check. The hostess we asked to send our server over was a terribly nasty and foul person… For that, they lose the 2 mercy stars I gave them. I gave them 1 because the app will not allow me to give them 0.
If you plan to enjoy dinner, stay far away from this pit.

What i LOVE about Moon Blue Diner is that is doesn’t look like a typical diner! Much cleaner, more upscale!
What I don’t like is for the past 5 times I’ve been for breakfast, i always order my FAVORITE thing — Eggs Benedict. Warning to all: The cooks do not know how to properly poach eggs. They come out rock hard, with the yolk cook solid every time. And of course, I always forget to request to the waitress to have them cooked properly. So i don’t send them back because it’ll mean another 15 – 20 wait while the rest of my table eats their breakfast.
As for the one time I went for dinner, I ordered the Grouper Francise, which was absolutely delicious! Tender, flaky on the inside, slightly crisp on the edges and the prefect lemon butter wine sauce on top. Yummy!
Their french fries (that come with burgers) are lacking. Can be best described as fat, crispy-​burnt nubs. Seriously, all the fries were an 1″ long in size and tasted mealy, old. They need a better french fry.
Service is hit and miss. Depends on your waitress and what her mood is that day.

I’m not normally a fan of diners but when we were hungry on a weeknight my husband and i wanted to find something close to home, so we decided to stop by here after the gym.
I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were all friendly and the food pretty solid.
That night they had Chicken Marsala on the specials menu. I love chicken marsala but since my husband ordered that i ordered the broiled salmon.
Salmon was cooked well, not overcooked or dry, really good flavor and the chicken marsala was really good!
Meals come with either soup or a salad so i decided to try their split pea soup. The bomb!
Ridiculously cheap and the portions were huge, so much food that i could not finish everything on my plate.
For a neighborhood dinner, it is good. Will be back.

I don’t know about you, but when I hear the word diner I think old/​old school but this place doesn’t really look or feel old, the décor inside is actually nice and pretty up to date. It is also a pretty big place it has like 3 or 4 rooms of seating.
Both times we’ve come in we’ve gotten seated right away even though it’s been late Sunday morning when it’s pretty busy and people are out for brunch/​lunch. So no complaints there. And also both weeks in a row we come for Sunday brunch and we have the wonderful Tracey as our waitress.
The first week I was very impressed with the fact that I felt like we got everything so quick (except the last thing we ordered to go). We both drank mimosas which were pretty good and strong, so I was happy about that since they’re only $ 3.95/glass. I had a toasted bagel all the way, which is pretty much a bagel & lox (salmon) with tomato, lettuce, cucumber, onions and cream cheese (also brings olives, but I asked for it without them). It was good and fresh, nothing too different from other places, but I had been wanting bagel & lox so that’s why I got it. My husband had the eggs Benedict and that was very good. I then went ahead and asked for a vanilla shake to go and she said it would be a few mins but it felt like that took longer than our food did to come out.
Today we came in excited to have some more yummy food and mimosas and when we ordered them she came back saying they had run out of champagne. It’s a part of their «weekend breakfast specials menu» so you figure they would have enough to last all weekend. I was so disappointed, and for that I am giving them one less star, you should be able to have enough champagne to last through the weekend brunches!
I had the eggs Benedict this time, which were good, but just had way too much hollandaise sauce. It wasn’t just over the eggs, it was all over the plate. And my hubby had the Super Mess which is scrambled eggs with chopped ham, sausage, bacon and potatoes topped with homemade sausage gravy and also toast and hash browns. It’s a pretty big plate, so if you’re gonna have this be either very hungry or share it, or it will go to waste. The eggs with the gravy sounded good, but I was iffy about it until I tried it and it’s pretty delish.
Overall the food we’ve had has been very good. Love that they have mimosas on the weekend, except when they run out of champagne (not cool). And service has been pretty spot on. Would definitely recommend this place for brunch (because that’s all we have had and cannot vouch for lunch or dinner as of yet).

I am a big fan of dinners but Blue Moon is not my favorite in the area. Their french toasts are good, pancakes are big and fluffy, but every time I come I have a problem with my eggs. The omelettes are a pretty big size but the flavors of all the veggies get lost with the amount of cheese they put in. I also tried the white eggs with Canadian ham, trying to stay away from the omellettes, but the eggs didn’t have no flavor and didn’t taste fresh.
So if you are not a big fan off omellettes or white eggs and are just looking for a inexpensive meal at a nice clean dinner you will do just fine at the Blue Moon Dinner.

Best breakfast I’ve had in a long time! Good breakfast out west in the Pembroke Pines/​Plantation area is hard to find besides your ihop and dennys there aren’t many options, there’s cracker barrel too but I’m not a fan. This place on the other hand serves great breakfast.
It’s called a diner but it does not look like one at all (which I love because I’ve never been a fan of the diner look). The inside is clean and spacious there are tables and booths. There are also tv’s all around so you can catch the game etc… They serve breakfast until 3pm but they also serve lunch and dinner.
For my breakfast I got the 8oz NY sirloin steak and two eggs, this came with hashbrowns and toast. This was one of the best steak and eggs meals I’ve had. The steak and the eggs were cooked perfect not overly seasoned. The hashbrowns were very tasty and crispy on the outside.
The bf got their toasted bagel all the way. This came with nova, cream cheese, onions, lettuce, tomato and olives. All the fixings came on the plate and you could make it just how you like it. I didn’t try it (since I don’t like nova) but my bf loved it.
We also ordered 2 of their butttermilk pancakes (short stack). They were huge and fluffy and cooked to golden perfection.
Service was friendly and fast. Their menu seems to have a little bit of everything. My only complain is that the coffee sucked ;(It was so bitter. I will definitely come here again maybe just bring my own coffee ;).

As far as diners go, I really love Blue Moon! Having great breakfasts at a good diner should be a given and Blue Moon does breakfast/​brunch really well! This is the place to go for one of the hugest omelets you will ever see. I get the garden omelet and always have to cut it in half. It is stuffed with veggies and tastes great! Everything else my family has gotten is huge and delicious as well, including the pancakes and sausage.
At lunch time I have also had the Tuna on Ciabatta or Rye — very big and very filling. They have many lunch and dinner specials that come with soup or salad. When I have had the soup it has been delish (try the split pea!). Often, however, their soup of the day is unappealing (beef barley) or just too rich for me (like a broccoli cheese or cream of broccoli) so I get the salad instead. The dinner or Caesar salads are nothing special but the dressings are pretty tasty.
On a rare occasion we will even have dinner there… very quick & reasonable! On weeknights, kids meals are 99 cents with the order of an adult meal. the kids meals are pretty hearty. They can get chicken parm, besides the usual kid’s entrees, with a drink, side, and a huge, delicious cookie! Dinner for 3 adults and 2 kids tonight with tax & tip was about $ 55. For that the adults had the salad or soup plus entrees. Father-​in– law enjoyed the chicken parm. Husband had stuffed flounder with veggies. He like it, although said it was much more flavorful with the cream sauce that came on the side. I had lemon pepper tilapia with veggies. I have to say that for a diner, this fish rocked! For that price it certainly does not pay to cook!
Tonight it was not busy and our service was spot on. Sometimes for brunch on the weekends, the service can be somewhat slow. Like many breakfast/​brunch places, it can get very busy around brunch time on weekends, especially after church, and there can be a wait.
