The Scene – This is as authentic as diners get, right down to the black-and-white checked tablecloths. Harried but friendly waitresses dart from table to table with trays of food, stepping around hungry patrons waiting for a seat. Piped-in Elvis Presley croons over the din of noisy customers. Regulars get the nod from behind the counter; coffee arrives without a word being uttered. A cross-section of South Enders and urbanites makes for prime people-watching, and no one seems to mind the cramped quarters. – – The Food – The extensive menu does provide a sturdy…
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- Don't pop in weekends expecting lunch: Only breakfast is served.
- Know Before You Go:
- Portions are uniformly huge; couples and cash-strapped students should consider sharing.

Great Boston Breakfast
by YEAGER at Citysearch
Mike's has a great breakfast and the best prices I have seen. Very authentic when you think of a Diner! Wait staff was very pleasant and helpful. Small place but they are very good at getting people in and out. An awesome place to go if you're looking for "Boston" type places. Great location!
- Pros: Great Food, Great Price, Authentic
- Cons: Waiting time

Bad customer service, Hair in Food
by Astorian219 at Citysearch
Waiting for a table wasn't too bad. We were seated within 20 minutes. Service was horrible. We had a waitor who rushed our orders. He didn't even ask for our drink choices. Feeling pressured to order i chose a grilled chicken wrap. Food came pretty quickly but not that great. My grilled chicken sandwich was supposed to include coleslaw and a pickle, but for some unkown reason came with only the wrap. What was worse was that I found a hair in my chicken wrap. At that moment I was disgusted and knew that I wouldn't return. Our original waitor hadn't come back after delivering our food, so we consulted another waitor. He was younger and much more polite and calm. He actually was nice enough to not include the price of the chicken wrap. Overall experience.... horrible!
- Pros: Good soda
- Cons: Service, Food
