We ordered the Family Feast with spaghetti and added a salad. The spaghetti had ample noodles and meat sauce. The garlic bread was well seasoned and the extra bread was fresh. Our only complaint was the salad, for $6.99 we got a small plastic bowl with a handful of lettuce, nothing else was added. We were very disappointed. read more

Michael's Italian Feast - This is our $6.99 salad. - Italian Near Me - Washington, Illinois

First time visit, pleasantly surprised. I got the garlic bread and pizza bread with sausage on top. The sausage especially seemed like very good quality. Both dishes were very good and actually much better than versions of both at "LaGondola". Pricey though at almost $20. And the neighborhood seemed a bit run down, several empty establishments in the area. There are very few reviews on the pizza at this place and those that I have heard mentioned say this place is not known for their pizza. But bc I thought the sausage on top of my pizza bread was so good, it makes me wonder how that pizza would work out. But crust is important and I'm wondering if their crust is just not as good as their bread. Also, used the drive-thru. Fast, courteous and efficient service. read more

Let's just say I come back to this location every time I'm in town... love this place ! Great job team Michaels !

This place is such a local gem! Is it authentic Italian food...no...but is it really good Italian-ish food? YES! This is the cinnamon butter bread. It's one of the best things I've ever had...you can't stop once you start. We also ordered (as we always do) the family special with spaghetti, gondola type sandwich, garlic bread and soda ..you can't beat it for price and the food you get! Staff always nice, store clean and food ready fast. Lasagna is also delicious! read more

Michael's Italian Feast - Michaels cinnamon bread-the best! - Italian Near Me - Washington, Illinois

Good pizza. Happy staff and clean facility. Service was prompt. Seating acceptable. Good basic place to be fed.

I stop by here pretty regularly to grab a bite to eat. The service is always good, the employees are friendly, and the food never disappoints! read more

I ate here for many years before I moved to California. I have not found spaghetti sauce or bread so flavorful out here. I miss the sauce so much I wish I could order it and have it sent here. Lastly, the management did more than feed me; they took care of me. This place is great! read more

Thanks Michael's! read more

I hate to be blunt, but the italian sausage "sandwich" is just about the worst "sandwich" ive ever had. the sausage was a bland, rectangular patty. the sauce was weak the cheese wasn't bad, yet there was enough cheese on this one sandwich to feed a family of five and it weighed down the bread and added so much thickness that it could not be folded and enjoyed as a sandwich should be. how do restaurants survive with putting out food like this? read more

Michael's Italian Feast - italian sausage "sandwich" - Italian Near Me - Washington, Illinois

I just don't get it. My boyfriend loves this place but I've given it 4 chances now trying something very different every time and I'm just never impressed. All tastes mediocre like cheap grocery store food made with the bare minimum of seasonings:( read more

Food is good. Works out real good when having some guest over. Some of the best bread in town. short story- years back worked security at the airport. Folks would bring bread to back home from their travel. read more

I grew up back here & now live in California, but I miss the Pizza bread from Michael's. Every time I'm in town visiting family I have to stop in a few times to order the bread & pizza bread. It is sweet & so soft. The sandwiches are also good. We usually order to go. Walk up to the counter to place your order. Sometimes we even take some of the bread back on the plane with us. We have looked high & low for something like it, but haven't found it. If you are in the area make sure to stop in. read more

Always great. Always fresh. We always stop at Michael's for a quick meal when on the run. I have never had any issues with their food or service. read more

I really like Michael"s. They are essily the highest priced for the similar options they provide. However, I enjoy the product more. How desparate does a business need to be to charge for cutting a sandwich. For those unfamiliar, a Mike's sub is served on very soft bread and is a foot long, more or less. I get it cut into 4ths so i can enjoy while driving. It is lunacy that, in order to do so, I am asked to pay around a 3 percent charge for cutting the sandwich. I didn't get extra and it was wrapped as one sandwich. While i will pay a buck or so more for the same thing here as the inventor of the sandwich charges, I am done over a $.30 cutting fee. Yelpers .... please watch for and report idiotic fees. I am grateful restaurants are stll around, but I will avoid them all for fees. read more

Michael's Italian Feast - I can't believe there is a charge to cut the sandwich! - Italian Near Me - Washington, Illinois

Have been a customer for as long as Mike has been in business in Washington Have always had good service and food over these many years. The last three visits have been very poor. 3 times ago I waited 55 minutes for a to go order. Last time 45 minutes and tonight 25 minutes for a meatball sandwich and tortellini. I was the only customer in the lobby and there was one table in dining room. Food quality has diminished and prices have risen. Employees standing around drinking sodas and person in charge making excuses. Don't need poor service and mediocre food. Seems to me when the boss is gone things go south. Hate to see a local business falter like this. Unless I hear things have changed they have lost my business read more

They did an excellent job on a large carry out order for me. Left me looking good in front of my customers. They remembered stuff I had forgotten. Great service! read more

Do not support this business in any way! I am a former employee and have been put through a ringer. Not only is the food quality low for the extremely high mark up, the food handling is worse. They don't care if their employees wear gloves or not and management doesn't bother to wear them anyway. When told about food allergens that don't care. One time the manager served a chef salad that had egg on it to someone who specifically stated they couldn't have egg. All he did was take the egg off and said they will be fine. The salad mix is all-ways sludgy and they have us just pick through it. The pasta is the same pasta you can get at Walmart or Kroger. Not only that, they reuse their deli containers. If you don't know why that is a problem it is because the plastic is so weak that it starts to deteriorate after being washed; leaving microplastics in your food. Then when I put in my two weeks notice the manager started falsely accusing me of destroying property and tried to make me pay for it. When I refused he told me to never show up to a Micheal's location ever again. My entire time as an employee felt like I was in a dumpster fire being lit by a ten year in an adult body. read more

Love this place everything is so amazing!!!!! Would totally recommend this place to everyone I know! I'm ordering dinner from here this evening tonight! Can't wait to get it home!!! read more

Michael's Italian Feast - Italian Near Me - Washington, Illinois

Decent place for lunch sandwich or quick date...they do have an outer room with an indoor fireplace for a little bit of charm. Their cold cut sandwiches are just ok, but thought their warm pizza/meatball sandwich was good. And not listed on the menu, but the raspberry walnut chicken salad is fantastic...and I'm not really a salad person. read more

Great food made to order. Usually order the foot long Michael sub or the Italian beef. Both great.

The whole family loves Michaels! There is not a long wait for food, it is DELICIOUS, and very reasonably priced. We eat there, or order takeout, at least a few times a month. Their lasagna is my favorite! read more

Michael's never fails me. I used to eat a lot in East Peoria when it was there for lunch. I've eaten at the Germantown location when living in Metamora. And now we enjoy Washington. I'm not sure if there's history with Michael's and La Gondola, but it's very similar, so if you like one, you'll enjoy the other. Meatball sandwich is great for a solo meal. And the family feast could easily feed at least 6. The sauce and the garlic bread combo is a winner. read more

Very tasty Subs and My wife LOVES the salads. Very friendly employees doesn't hurt either

I LOVE their BBQ ranch salad!!! Delicious. Everything I've eaten here is delicious. Thrir sub bread is for good!! Spaghetti garlic bread & lasagna too. read more

A while ago we tried to order take out spaghetti and sauce and asked if we could get it separate. I was looked at like I was crazy and they wanted to charge me extra for take out. My son and my husband do not like sauce mixed in already with their spaghetti. My son doesn't like sauce and my husband does not like a lot of sauce. Needless to say we left and I ended up making my own spaghetti and meat sauce, even though it ended up being a late night. Also, we don't like sweet garlic bread. It's kind of gross. Never been to an Italian restaurant outside of this area that serves sweet garlic bread. Sad to say we won't probably go back. read more

We usually get the titanic but the last time we got it the ham was mostly gristle and we couldn't eat it.

Brother Doug was in from Colorado and wanted some good old central Illinois comfort food. We stuffed our faces and man it was good. Only down fall the prices have been going up lately. Fed 7 people and it cost $70. read more

We Love Michael's food! We dine in and order carry out frequently. Our favorites are the lasagna, pizza, and the bread. The service is always friendly and fast. Prices are very reasonable. The subs here are even BETTER than the ones from a similar restaurant from central IL that starts with an A and is a favorite of most ISU and Bradley alumni. read more

Great service and awesome food . The prices are fair and its really close to home so that's even better! We will definitely be going back!

I love the bread, love the subs and the tortellini is my favorite. The sauce is sweet, which is my favorite so if you're not a fan of a sweet sauce, don't get a dish with sauce. The tortellini is always hot. We prefer picking up rather than dining in, just not that great of a dining experience there. Most of the time the employees are nice and service is quick, a few times it hasn't been. They added on, but I think they should have improved the entrance area since it looks run down and dirty at times. read more

I fully understand things are tough during this Covid-19 mess. It's not hard just on the restaurants, it's hard on their customers too. I go to Michael's in Washington quite often, but this is my fourth time going since March. The first time was when I purchased gift certificates because I wanted to do my part to help them stay open. Since then, I have placed orders for pick up and each time there has been a quality issue. Anything hot had to be heated up after arriving home (5 minutes away), not because it sat and waited for me to get there, but because it was not made that day. Things were refrigerator cold. The chef salads are normally the best around. Lately though, the greens are brown and somewhat slimey. I forgave the first nasty one, but months later when their pick up/carry out business is booming, I can't. Yesterday's chef salad was the same as the others; wilted, browning, limp greens and the usually delicious home-made croutons were thick, soggy and chewy, not crunchy and crispy. It makes it very hard to want to "eat local" and support hometown restaurants when what you get in return is inedible food and wasted hard earned money. read more

Tammie N.12/11/2015Edit I was excited to see a new driveup window, until I used it. I just wanted two loaves of bread so I went to the window. The woman was not happy that I had not called ahead. She scolded me like a naughty child. They were not busy and the bread is baked. When she cam back she reiterated her annoyance. By now I am irritated, she told me a third time not to come without calling. She can be sure I will not be coming back! Zero reason to treat customer so poorly! read more

This is the best sub sandwich shop in the area. They use fresh baked bread and the best meat and veggies on their sandwiches. It's very laid back and informal. Great place to run in for pick up food. read more

I got the Hot Beef sub here. It was wonderful and quick service. Staff was also very friendly and helpful. Not a lot more to be said. Great experience. The menu choice is not huge but if you do a few things great it's better than doing a lot of things mediocre ... I would deff eat here again. read more

My husband and I enjoy their subs. And the service is friendly. However, their pizza is not worth the 14 dollars that we paid for it. It was like eating a wafer with tomato sauce and cheese strewn on it. They are also very skimpy with their toppings. We walked away from our dinner table still feeling hungry after eating almost an entire large sized pepperoni pizza. read more

The food is always good. I am not a fan of eating in there, I don't appreciate looking at dirty tables because the wait staff are the kitchen help and they don't clean tables very often. The whole building is a mess, roof falling in ,wet moldy tiles, everything needs repainted. As busy as this restaurant is and many times as we have gone there for takeout should have plenty of money to invest in a can of paint or two! The TVs are always on sports channels and news but never anything family-friendly. Their prices keep skyrocketing every year and the size of the food always get smaller but is it is good and we enjoy going back. The teenage help are not always the friendliest. If La Gondola was still Open we would be going there. But it is and so we make do. read more

This place has great pasta and Italian food but its torpedoes are what you want to go for. their bread is absolutely amazing!

Food was very greasy had to ask them 3 times to change the root beer on the soda so my son could have a drink we were the only Customers there so I know they weren't to busy prices are crazy high cost me 52 bucks and some change for a pizza and Tortellini and cinnamon bread definitely wouldn't send anyone I know there read more

Love this place. Everyone is always very friendly and polite. I highly recommend the chef salad. It is the best value you could ever find. Not just a limp blob of iceberg lettuce, but lots of mixed greens topped with plenty of ham, turkey, salami and cheese. Throw in some homemade croutons and hard boiled egg. Huge! Easily enough to share with 2-3 people. We look for excuses to drive out of our way and buzz through Washington to get one. read more

Food is just ok. The bread is kind of a copy of Avanti's or lagonda but michaels bread is very gummy like it's not cooked long enough almost lime raw dough. Plus the price is double that if Avanti's. This restaurant is ok but I will stick with Avanti's read more
