    The most wonderful diner in the world.
    Echo L.

    It's an amazing diner. The food is great. The staff are wonderful. We have to show places like this soooo much love. They are extinct. And this one is particularly special. A neighborhood gem.

    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
    Matthew S.

    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

    Chicken and waffles  Corned beef hash with rye bread
    Hana J.

    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!

    TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups…read morewere the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.

Plus there was stuff that the 2 kids with us would eat. Our servers were lovely and helpful -- I had the Jocon (a flavorful chicken soup/stew), one person had a omelette, another had chicken, and an another wrap/sandwich. There were drinks -- coffee, hot chocolate, and something fruity. They also brought us corn chips and a bean dipping sauce to start -- YUM! I really liked the hot green sauce that accompanied the meal, too. This is a great find!

Every table has a placemat with crayons which is such a fun way to keep kids and adults entertained. The food was delicious and tasted fresh, living up to their messaging on sourcing local food. We ordered the egg katsu sandwich and the eggs rothko. The sandwich was very well made with a nice crisp panko crusting that didnt feel heavy on the oil, and yet still managed to have a light airy egg inside. The eggs rothko was buttery and flavorful but still managed to not feel too heavy. The broiled tomatos on the side were a nice touch to contrast the egg and toast from the main dish. Overall I enjoyed this place and would love to come back to try more dishes. The vibe was friendly and welcoming, making it the perfect weekend brunch spot.

If I were to do again, no sausage, I don't believe you need it for this sandwich. The chocolate milk is regular. - 4/5 Value (1-5): For what I got, I believe it is overpriced, even though it tasted really good, I don't know how many eggs are used to create the egg katsu, but $17 seems like a reach. There are other items on the menu that cost the same price but will make you feel more full. 3/5 Customer Service (1-5): The customer service was attentive and nice. 5/5
