    Two eggs, pork sausage, cheese grits & eggs benedict
    Sharon C.

    Came in on a Saturday morning (before 10) and no wait! Super cute, quaint diner that dishes out classic breakfast dishes. Got the 2 eggs with pork sausage and cheese grits - pork sausage was fantastic, eggs, toast & cheese grits were good too! Eggs benedict was alright - wouldn't get it again. Unlimited coffee refills, but the coffee is pretty bland. The breakfast isn't crazy good or anything, but it will satisfy your breakfast / diner cravings. Would come again!

    Corned beef hash & eggs

    This place is just an unbelievable under the radar gem that I feel privileged to have unearthed upon moving to this neighborhood. Just a classic, old school NY diner specializing in breakfast (eggs, omelettes, pancakes), burgers, club sandwiches, cheap, effective coffee and the like. All with brisk, effective but polite service that will get you out of there promptly on a busy weekend or let you linger over coffee refills on a quiet weekday. I mean, don't take it from me--if you've read Patti Smith's incredible memoir, Just Kids, she talks of living down the clock in the 60s, living off of a diner, an art store and a phone book down the block. Reader, the only thing no longer here is the phone booth. In a city renowned for its impermanence, Mike's proudly, deservedly remains. In a borough and world where other old diners like Tom's have deserved renown but endless lines, hype, and modern prices and feel, this gem legitimately feels like stepping back in time 60+ years. I brought my mom here and I thought she might cry it brought back so many palpable memories of growing up in the city for her. I almost want to keep it quiet out here in Clinton Hill, but they deserve the shout out. Just come here for a quintessential NY breakfast experience already.

    Corned Beef Hash and Blueberry Waffles

    Mike's never disappoints! This is at least my fifth time going to Mike's since moving to Brooklyn and it's consistently satisfying. My go to order is the corned beef hash and eggs and blueberry waffles. The corned beef hash is exactly what you'd want from a dinner, and the waffles are crispy on the outside and perfectly fluffy on the inside. The service is always very fast and everyone who works there is very friendly and nice. Lastly, the ambiance is everything you'd want from an old school diner - cozy, classic, and no frills. Highly recommend!

    Treated myself to breakfast at Mike's Coffee shop for the first time in yearrrs. I ordered crispy corned beef hash with grits, scrambled eggs and buttered wheat toast. I was really hungry after working overnight. Mike's hit the spot. The staff is still very pleasant. My bill was really low and my coffee was superb.

    French toast with Turkey bacon and eggs

    If the price was $5 cheaper, I swear I would have made this a four star review. But $21 for what I got is just too much to justify a high rating for this college-centric coffee shop. Yelp also needs to change this restaurant profile as they accept credit cards. The food here is not bad, not bad at all. I got the French toast with two eggs and some turkey bacon and it all was satisfying for an early breakfast. The eggs were a bit bland though but that can be forgiven by the fact the French toast was dusted with cinnamon sugar. That is a nice touch. It really is a coffee shop that so happens to be located near the Pratt Institute. I will keep it on my list for diners, but just not expect to be blown away.

    Never heard of this place until this beautiful Sunday after church I decided to stroll up st.James pl. and happened upon this classic diner ( these diners stand out now because there's so few left ) I didn't have breakfast yet so I had a some for lunch and they didn't disappoint Definitely gonna stop by soon to check out the rest of the menu

    I visited mike's primarily because it's a favorite place of my fiancés. Having spent one Sunday morning there before noon for breakfast, I could honestly see why. Mostly because the food was delivered in a flash and served in large portions. They had some minor vegan options like oatmeal made with water and fresh bananas, toast with jam of course. I would go here again to support this old school diner in Clinton Hill even with limited vegan options. Super cute and accessible.

    Everything is Great, quick paced cafe! Fills up very quickly so go early. Food was yummy. comes out before you can second guess what you ordered. A must try

    My absolute favorite diner in all of nyc! This place hasn't changed throughout the 10 years I've been coming and for good reason. It's a pretty small spot that all locals are aware of. It has a great local small diner feel that is so comforting and everyone/the service is so sweet. I've had a little bit of everything of the food from this place and you really can't go wrong. It is cash only and usually has a small wait on the weekends but it's so worth it!

    I called the restaurant and they were pretty rude over the phone for no reason at all. Losing customers due to poor customer service

Walked in and was able to get a seat without reservation, but it definitely filled up by 6/7 pm. The place is dimly lit and the tables are quite small. For the food, we got their Brussel sprouts, shrimp, salmon entree and chicken entree. Our favorite were definitely the shrimp. But everything else when eaten together tasted a bit too greasy and felt monotonous in terms of flavor. Brussel sprouts were fried and held to a decent amount of oil, then the addition of tahini made it even more oily. Pan chicken we expected whole pieces of chicken but it was more like a thin chicken cutlet. The salmon came with a cauliflower puree which tasted so rich (with butter), but I couldn't finish it bc it was so rich.

    People have left some odd reviews of this place, including a one-star review for the restaurant…read moreapparently being highly politicized--a vibe I neither felt nor could visually identify within or without the establishment. I ordered a single burger and a Sudan spiced peanut butter latte, for ~$15! That's pretty inexpensive for New York City. I note this as some consider it overpriced. I suppose the food is fairly inexpensive, the lattes slightly higher than average. The "burger" comes wrapped in a homemade pita with diced cucumber, onion, and tomato, plus a few crispy, thick-cut fries and a yummy house sauce. It was a cool twist of the traditional burger and had a nice flavor. The sauce was like a slightly Mediterranean version of Big Mac sauce. The girl working as the barista and cashier was very nice and friendly. She had a nice presence and warm smile, made suggestions, and even gave a stranger free utensils when they popped on to ask. I think it's definitely worth checking out, and it's a good place for a cheap & simple meal that's still quirky and fun.

    I have wanted to try this spot for some time, and wound up a bit disappointed with what I tried…read more They feature a tahini cold brew, which features two things I love dearly, but instead of a rich cold brew it was overly sweet and icy--more like a slushie. Perhaps I should have anticipated that, or my mistake in ordering. I also ordered a Moroccan egg salad sandwich which was substantive but surprisingly bland--sparse with the advertised capers and pickled red onions to give it more punch. I've always loved the look of the spot and the vibe--funky decor, outside and indoor facing counters to order, with some outdoor seating for people watching on Dekalb or heading nearby Ft. Greene Park. I see they are renovating and rebranding a bit and adding some burger component. While I didn't love it, I'd definitely give it another shot.
