Fleetwood Diner now open in High Springs

Looks like the new owners are off to a good start. My family and I had lunch there this past Sunday,we didn't have to wait very long ( which is good for a Sunday),I would imagine this will change when word gets out. We don't mind a little wait if it is worth waiting for, and it was. Food was great, Service was great. BIG CHANGE from previous owners(Flyod's). Keep up the good work!

Had breakfast this a.m. at Fleetwood Diner. I tried their florintine eggs benedict. I was able to substitute a real english muffin for the texas toast that the menu said was the standard for this diner. There was no indication of a lemon ever having been near the hollandaise sauce. The eggs were perfectly cooked, but what destroyed what might have been a good entree was the presence of two slices of school-bus-yellow American cheese under the eggs. This 'cheese' should be ashamed to call itself cheese, and no one out of elementary school should ever be subjected to it. It did not add flavor to this dish; only calories and cholesterol. The hash browns that came with the meal were slightly grey and inedible due to the amount of grease in them. The service was very good, and there was a plethora of seating, which you certainly couldn't find on a weekend when this diner was under it's previous incarnation of Floyds.
I miss Floyd's light and innovative touch, and certainly hope that the new regime learns that Floyds regulars would appreciate a re-thinking of the menu here. In the meantime, the Great Outdoors down the street is now producing an excellent breakfast, even if it is a bit more expensive.

Floyd's was a joke seems you have a personal attachment to it If you want a real Diner it would be exactly what fleetwood diner is lots off homemaid affordable food good service and clean.Get a life loser

My wife had the eggs flourinetine accompanied by the homemaid hashbrowns on the texas toast like it says on the menu it was great grub filling and priced right the couple we ate with loved floyd's before but love Fleetwood better because it doesn't try to act like a fine ding place in a DINER and rip people off.Try the meaty hippie breakfast it a grilled vegetable medely on top off their homemade corned beef hash.Try the homemaide spinage pie that the owner's mother makes try the saganaki cheese which is imported from greece.

It's not as good as Floyd's that's for sure.

I've been several times now and have gotten mixed results. If you know what to order, you can get a decent meal. Some stuff is just plain bad though.

The eggs benedict is not good at all. The Hollondaise sauce was more like gravy, Texas toast was plain and the American cheese not so good. Eggs were pretty good. The Hippy Hash is good. Meatloaf is good. Didn't care much for the pancakes (dry and flat). Liked a Reuben I got.

I'll continue to go, as it's the best place close to home and I think the Great Outdoors is over priced and has it's own issues. If Fleetwood improves some of the weaker dishes, it could become as good as Floyds was.

Not sure why some didn't like Floyds. I always had good meals at Floyds.

You are probably everthing you just explained. High Springs is deserving of a great place to eat. For you to make comments like sleeping with your relatives you should be arrested. You are one of the nasty people I have to look at in my beautiful town. Do me a favor and don't come back to high springs or I will request your be arrested. Get a life commenter!

First: douch bag form NJ, who asked you! Real mature for you to go that far in your discription of the person who commented before you. You really take the bad experience personally don't you.
Wait to hear ab out mine, can't wait to see what you have to say about me. SInce you know me all so well like your redneck oppssum eating single wide living friend.
This morning went to Fleetwood with my family. We were greeted like many times before, of course we were sitted in the waitresses section that greeted us. Sitting there for a moment we were informed they were having slight difficulty witht he air vents; making if about 55 to 60 degress in there (should have just sat us on the patio).
We order. We get food. My food didn't come out like I asked> when the waitress handed me my plate it had chili all over the side and the knife, so in turn the chili is all over my hands.
When the waitress could tell I was ticked she never came back to the table. About 5-10 minutes into eating she brings the check and throws it to the table. THe check falls to the floor and my son has to get up and get it!
Now before the food came, I finally had to get my jacket out of the car. THAT'S HOW COLD IT WAS! I like cold weather, but to sit in an establisment thats going to get close to $40 of my money I should not have to were my jacket in order to eat.
Back to the food. I asked for my eggs to be put on my grits, didn't happen. Towards the end when we were finishing the waitress came back by, asked my husband and my son if they needed anything-NOT ME, LOL!! My husband says sure I'll have some more to drink. Did he get more to drink. NO!
So I go to pay. No manager there, she had went to the store. I did not leave a tip. zero, nada, ziltch! The waitress runs up there after i turn my back to walk away. Did she already no that she didn't deserve a tip, but just wants to see what happens. When she sees zero, she speaks real loud to try and get me to turn around,:HAVE A NICE NEW YEAR-MISS". Dont worry about me now, you didnt worry about me when i was at your table!

I have been a waitress, all thru college. So I know how it should be done. The way she handled herself was not the way it should be done.

THe food is good. You definiltey get yours money worth on the dinners. But, honestly nothing over the top and nothing to special.
