Michael’s Family Restaurant

Ordered twos eggs n sausages to go for 8 bucks and when I got home, they forgot to put the fucking sausages. So I basically paid $ 8 for a $ 4 breakfast. I’m really mad.

The Food was great!!! GREAT! Only reason I didn’t give the last star because the customer service was a little shabby… But other than that I was completely satisfied!

Went with work friends for an early dinner. All was well until our entrees came out; mine was the wrong order. Not a big deal — it happens. However following that, it took until everyone at the table had finished their meal (20 minutes or so) for my correct order to be brought out. When I explained the situation to the manager, she dismissed the situation with an aloof attitude and a half-​hearted apology, explaining that the server was very busy (we arrived at 3:30pm and were the only patrons there!). When I asked about having my meal comped, I was refused. Avoid if possible (especially if they are «busy»).

Out to lunch with a friend after a little shopping I had a turkey club sandwich it was very very good with a handful of french fries. I sampled some of Val’s chili was very delicious wish I had rice with it. OK now on to the appearance of this status meant it is in need of serious renovation inside and out. Val says it needs to be torn down and rebuilt.

Food ok, nothing special, but good
Service standard at this visit
I come here whenever I come into town
Service is usual way above average
Today, the server (male) was a half step below average
But, I will be back…

Went on a Sunday around 12:30 — packed with the after-​church crowd. Decided to sit at the counter rather than wait, So glad we did. The waiter was great. For as busy as they were the staff kept their cool and were really on the ball.
Cousin had a cheese steak & fries — he said they were both good. I had the Spanish Omelet and really enjoyed it. The home fries could have used a little more browning but were OK. Unsweetened Iced tea was good, but the coffee was great — strong but not bitter.
I got cheesecake with cherries to go — kind of disappointing, not real «cheesy» but the generous dollop of cherries helped.
On the negative side, the sidewalk is broken and hazardous, I didn’t see any Handicapped parking and the counter stool was a little wobbly.
We’ll be going back — hope that hard-​working, humorous waiter is behind the counter!

Went for breakfast on Sunday afternoon. Lobby was very crowded probably with the after church crowd. We were the 4^th down on the list and we were seated within 15 minutes. My partner had the eggs Benedict which came out a little messy but they did replace it with a different version it wasn’t so sloppy. I had two eggs pancakes and bacon which were really good in the coffee was great. Service was right on point.

Bruh… ok so everytime I come here which has been about 3 times so far there is always some drunk guy or hobo in there starting stuff and then they have to call the cops. Its CRAZY. And after stuff like that happens the waiter forgets to come back to our table. Don’t get me wrong though because they seem like nice people sometimes. The food is honestly mediocre, their milshakes are pretty good but the last time I came I ordered cheesecake and it had egg shells in it so not that great. Also there was another time when there was a tiny bug crawling around on the table. It was do big deal to kill it but I don’t think its good for a restaurant. I also think they need to clean their grill and pots and pans more because when I got shrimp or french toast I could taste whatever they cooked before that and it kinda sucked so I spit it out. It was really freaking upsetting though because it looked pretty awesome until I put it in my mouth of course. I don’t really like going here lol.

I am not new to Michael’s but in the past only ate breakfast here. I went for dinner last Saturday night feeling somewhat anxious about how dinner would be. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food. I went for the classic diner meal — roasted turkey with trimmings. It was very good and the salad bar was a nice plus. The best part of the evening was the staff, especially Sue, our waitress. She was was so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. She was great! We had a baby with us and all of the staff were very sweet with her. Would definitely recommend for families.

Came here when I first moved here because I didn’t know where else to go and everywhere here closes so damn early. I will probably only ever come here if I’m drunk or if I want a milkshake in the middle of the night (this is probably the same scenario). My friend had a burger here that was gray once, so that grosses me out. Waitstaff is usually nice/​passable, had a guy once that had the deepest radio voice I’d ever heard, so five stars to him.

Good severs at breakfast, VERY simple menu. The interior decorator need to be shot in the face. Cream chip beef has no favor at all I WAS VERY disappointed!!! EVRYTHING else was good.

I’ve been to this place 2 times thinking I’d give it another shot. The first time was for lunch with my husband. I ordered a soup that was so bad, I couldn’t eat it. The rest of the food wasn’t memorable either. The 2^nd time I went was for a business meeting. I order a fruit cup. I kid you not, it was 3 grapes, a few melon cubes, and a pineapple cube. When the bill came, it was $ 10!!! For what I thought? Turns out the fruit salad was $ 9 and it was horrible. Never again despite the fact that I own a house 3 blocks away.

Went here for the first time with some friends for a midnight meal. The food was subpar — not bad but nothing good about it either. I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato and liked that it came with a side of fries and a few pickle slices.
The service, however, was terrible. Our server was very rude throughout our meal. She made it extremely clear that she was annoyed with us (for a reason that I don’t even know), and continued to mumble under her breath several times. Needless to say, I will not be returning.

My bf and I freq here. This place is nice and affordable. It’s very easy access to healthy food too. The entrees all comes with salad bar and it has a good variety. Considering the highest price you can get for an entrée is less than 20, you get a salad bar, a main dish and a dessert (certain times), this is a good deal.
Some of the entrees are not good, I agree with another reviewer about chicken croquettes, don’t order it! But the sandwiches are really good. Oh and their breakfast, I love their waffles! It gets super crowded lunch time over the weekend esp Sunday. Servers can be a little busy sometimes but mostly great.

I used to love coming here, especially after hours. The food here is of very poor quality. Everything tastes old. Today I had the roast beef sandwich… It was very salty and was more on the old school cafeteria level, just nasty. I then had ice cream for dessert. It tastes like it’s been in the freezer since the beginning of the year. I will not be visiting here anymore, so sad.

McDonald’s makes a better breakfast, The village diner in Glenside is just up the street. There prices are comparable but the food is much better,

Sorry hate to say it but this place is no good! Got food poisoning! Thought I would be safe ordering the french toast with country sausage but nope!

Great, reliable diner. You don’t come here to get gourmet or unusual ethnic food. This is the place for your all American, filling, weekend morning, greasy spoon, diner food. Pancakes and French toast are awesome. Nice thick pancakes. Service is generally good. Fries are crispy on outside, chewy inside. Coffee is average to good. If you haven’t had your salt and fat allotment for the week and are going for true diner cuisine, this is it.

It is as it looks.
The food here is REALLY hit or miss, so be careful what you choose. For example the chicken croquettes are disgusting. They look like huge fried turds swimming in a pukey-​snot sauce, and they taste horrendous. I mean, REALLY bad, not even tabasco or Sriracha the holy grail of all sauces could redeem that steaming turd of anus.
So why the 4 stars? In general, your rule of thumb at Michaels diner is, stay away from platters, head towards sandwiches. They do a surprisingly tasty cheesesteak, their chicken parm sandwich is quite tasty (although their chicken Parm itself is unpleasant, but not inedible). I love their hamburger club as well.
Michaels does some great french fries, they’re definitely coated with flour and possibly some sort of bread crumbs before being fried, which results in glory. These fries are crispy on the outside, while being pillowy soft on the inside.
Michael’s is what it is, don’t expect the greatest food of your life. They make solid, decent, food, that will satisfy you, and scratch that itch. Don’t come here for gastronomic revelation, and stay away from the platters and make your way towards their sandwiches.

It’s diner food. Not good, not bad — just food. The same can be said for the service… It ain’t great but it exists.
Don’t have huge expectations.
