St. Petersburg & Tampa
Two kitchens, one menu, and the kind of plate you go back for. Shrimp and grits under a cracked egg, a pancake the size of a hubcap.

The Menu
Every plate we serve, with its price and its description, written out where you can actually read it. Breakfast platters and Benedicts, burgers and specialty sandwiches, pasta, chicken, seafood, and a dessert case worth saving room for.
Since 2012
Gordon and Louise Stevenson named the diner after their triplets, Libby, Will and John. That is the LWJ on the sign, and it is why this has never been a chain.
Not-too-fancy, by design. Breakfast all day, plus salads, sandwiches, meatloaf, pasta and chicken. Bring the kids.
We're not a large corporation. It's my wife and my kids and me, and that's who owns the restaurant.

In Their Words
Modern diner with old-fashioned quality and service. The omelets were fluffy and well shaped, done just right, and generously sized. The bacon was nicely browned, thick, and still had just the right degree of chewiness, not hard. SERVICE was with a smile and intelligent.
I consider myself a bit of a breakfast connoisseur and I am pleased to say that yelp didn't let me down. I basically googled best breakfast in the area and this came up. Ended up taking a 30 min drive from the beach to see what all the buzz was about!
Read some good reviews, so decided to check out Trip's Diner for breakfast a couple weeks ago. It's now my go-to spot for great diner food, in a very clean, friendly setting. The pancakes and french toast are amazing!!! Will be back frequently
