Service lackadaisical, food mediocre. Place looks tired , dinghy, and beat up. No manager to be seen. We were not given breakfast specials menu by the host or the server, had to ask after another table questioned their own server. So is this a practice to give the higher priced menus unless you're a regular or you happen to ask? Made me feel like they were trying to get over. Also charged 3.95 for a tea refill . If we were told that would've been fine , but when my mom asked for some more tea, the server said you want a teabag or just hot water? She didn't say hot water is free, but I have to charge you for another teabag. Give me the option ! I left with a horrible taste in my mouth about the whole experience. Don't waste your money. read more

Went in last night We were the ONLY customers in the place. We ordered 2 cheeseburgers (medium rare) with an order of onion rings. Along with a cup of chicken noodle soup and a French Onion soup. The chicken noodle soup came out and shortly thereafter the burgers came out. The burgers were WELL WELL DONE ! Never got the onion rings or the French Onion Soup The waiter apologized twice once for soup not coming out and again for the absence of the onion rings ! So all we received were the disgustingly overdone burgers and a cup of soup.. Total bill 32.00 and change !?? Seriously I questioned the price of the burger which came with nothing and she was very matter of factly nasty and said yup that the price. Needless to say I will never ever pass through that door again. And the server got a tip of 0.00 !! We both work in restaurants actually I work in a diner and if any customer were ever treated this way by a server they would no longer have a job ! To that server I suggest you find a new career in another field because YOU SUCK read more

Ordered nachos grande which is basically $20. I paid 20 bucks for missions round tortilla chips with cheese whiz poured on top with a piece of grilled chicken and sprinkled tomato. I could've made this at home for five bucks. It wasn't even thoughtfully put together, all the chips on the bottom were dry but everything on top with smothered in cheese whiz. When I called, the older lady on the phone said that's the way it comes. I told her that it doesn't say on the menu that it is drenched in cheese whiz. She got nasty and told me to deal with it and hung up. So this is why I'm here to warn you not to waste $20 on crap. I understand that this is only nachos grande but a 16-year-old stoner could've done a better job with this. If you wondering why the parking lot is always empty and why they are giving stuff away on ubereats..... read more

Mike's Place - "Nachos Grande" - Diners Near Me - Staten Island, New York

Food isn't that great it's okay. The ambience is eh whatever, feels musty in there and you can see visible dirt. Service is terrible, staff is extremely racist and makes unnecessary comments about skin tone and religion. Insulted me while I was walking out the door and was whispering about me with other staff. 0/10, never again read more

After living on Staten Island for over 30 years my wife and I decided to have breakfast at Mikes Place. It was fairly empty for a Friday morning, we came in and waited to be seated. The waitress was sitting at the back booth on her phone. We were greeted and seated. We ordered omelette's. Mine was a ham and cheese omelette and my wife's was a mozzarella omelette. They were very large and filled very well. They came with home fries. I asked for mine to be crispy but I didn't notice that it was any different from my wife's home fries. I was looking for the waitress and saw her leaning against the counter on the other side of the diner on her phone...again. Hoping to get my coffee refilled. When we were done I got my check and noticed my omellete was priced at $15.99, different from what the menu had - $13.95. Maybe because I had ham and cheese ? Overall the food was fine, the service could have been better and as far as the price - I feel I was overcharged because when I got home and went online to look at their menu - my omellette should have been $13.95. I'm not sure if I would go back. There are plenty of other good diners on Staten Island. The portions are good but the pricing of the food seems a little overpriced for a diner. read more

Great 24/7 spot for classic diner fare. We visited around midnight and the place was still pretty busy. Had classic French toast and BLT with fries. Both were great. Good service and reasonable prices. Extra points for being open 24/7- there's not enough late night options on this part of the island read more

Just ordered from Uber eats. Maybe it depends on what you order from this place as it was my first time. I ordered an omelette with waffle fries. All I taste is pure oil. No ingredients in the omelette. It's awful, threw the entire meal out read more

We shared a wrap ( grilled chicken, bacon, American cheese L/T) and curly fries. Curly fries were perfectly made, my friend noted the serving was on the small side but since I was the only one eating them I was ok with that. The wrap itself was fresh and delicious. Our server Missy was patient with us taking a long time to decide. read more

Terrible!!! I have always ordered from the and Never ordering from mikes place on hylan Blvd again ordered two cheese burger deluxes they came with no pickles, no onions, no cheese had to add my own and the Patty was so thin i could get better at McDonald's ! I never complain about food or business but it wasn't cheap and the person who helped me on the phone was nasty and no help not even a refund or apology. Disgusted! read more

I just ordered a pastrami sandwich and a turkey club both were nasty and had no taste to them. I asked for a lean pastrami sandwich and I guess they don't know what lean is. The turkey club had no flavor what so ever. read more

Two stars because convenience of location at best. This diner has been a staple of the community for a few generations now. I recall going here as a child when it still had pink Formica at the entry way with the letters MIKES built into it. Such better times. Even up to about 2003-2006 it was a decent place to go late night with friends or Sunday mornings for brunch. They have a liquor license, so that's one star minimum. It's sad to say that it had drastically declined from my former hay days on the island. After swinging by my parents we decided to all go out to MIKES. We went around 12/1215pm, customer traffic was light & parking was abundant. Grabbed a seat for all 6 of us to sit at in the rear section. They seated us rather quickly & they were friendly. After being seated the waitress came by & took the drink order & dropped menus. Nothing fancy, just a kids chocolate milk & cokes. Those came out rather quick, maybe 10 minutes past. Now for the food order, granted we were a bit indecisive at first, all 6 orders were in within 5 minutes. However, can't say the food came out as fast as the drinks, being it had to be cooked/plated/defrosted or what have you. Order placed around 12:30pm and food eventually showed up around 1:10pm (knowingly because I have photos to reference kids food coming out) So, kids food comes at 1:10pm, moms cheese quesadilla right after & then wife's tuna melt at 1:12pm (another photo time stamp of food in flight to wife) & sisters tuna scoop & egg salad scoop (I recommend avoiding the egg salad) Pops eggplant parm comes out maybe another minute after. So, they all got their food by 1:15pm So I'm just sitting & waiting... & waiting.... & waiting... Eventually after setting off a elaborate display of fireworks They got the waitress to return to the back section. To her surprise, sees me gnawing at the Formica lined table foaming at the mouth. So, id say by 130pm I got my turkey burger deluxe. Which had to be as dry as a cigar I forgot in my truck over the winter. I mean, this thing was almost inedible. I requested a plethora of red unions & honey mustard & quite literally drowned the patty. I'm talking CIA/FBI water boarding with honey mustard. Didn't help at all. At this point my father wanted some pie & I adamantly said it's to go. I'm not sitting here begging for coffee & pie when I can go shopping & bake it myself within the time they bring it to us. Again, I went to the front & paid with a smile & left the waitress a tip, although we quite literally had to stand up & get the other waitress to get our waitress to assist us (I'm not a scumbag, I've worked customer service before) NOTE : I didn't get the busboys name, but he was/is the backbone of that place. Honestly, if not for him, I don't think we'd have survived. He was incredibly friendly & actually ran & grabbed us drinks & other items in our waitresses extended absence. I hope these people are splitting their tips with the busboys. So, I'm just leaving off with, no, I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're in dire need of bland & dry food. I understand Covid has had an effect across the board on literally everyone. But if you're cutting staff & customer service, it's a recipe for disaster (Although I hope this place stays around and makes a rebound) Im not for anyone losing a job or closing a business. It hurts the community. read more

Worst meal ever! Hadnt been there in a while and will never go back. Took forever to get served. Burger was flavorless, bun was stale, fries soggy. Husbands gyro meat was gross and salad looked like it belonged in compost. Instead of muddling through, we should have walked out. And wasn't just us. We heard other tables complaining. Do not eat here! read more

This diner is a hidden treasure! Reminds me of the days in Staten Island stepping into the 1980s. The food is great the service is good and the atmosphere is awesome! It's a perfect place for someone to relax without feeling pushed out the door the one male waiter there is really a great guy and he is very attentive. I recommend the cheeseburger with coleslaw, and fries with mozzarella. It's amazing! It's the last best diner in Staten Island. read more

Never again. Came here late in the evening during the week looking for some burgers and fries. Mission accomplished. Requested the burgers well done and some additional condiments. The burgers were average to good and the fries were perfect. Service was also fine. We finished up eating and while waiting for the check.... Spotted a very very large rat walking on the floor in the middle of the diner seating area. Jumped up and walked over to register. Paid promptly and left tip for the waitress on way out to her, didn't return to table. It's a shame. Decent price. Good food.... Scarred for life experience. Not going back. read more

I'm not a fan of Mikes Diners in general but they serve a purpose. My love for an ordinary Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Pickle. This is for when I don't want to have to think about food. This was my first time to this Mikes. It was clean, waitress was friendly and attentive. It always so pricy for a 2* dinner who's food is just premade stuff in the freezer and reheated. My basic grilled cheese was burned. It left an awful bitter burner flavor. When you pay $6 for a craft singles piece of yellow melty cheese between 2 pieces of griddled bread with no sides and you burn it? Come on they should have never let this leave the kitchen. I ordered a side of Sweet Potato Fries. Delicious, shoestring crispy sweetness. They even reheated at home that night when I had the leftover fries. The Egg Bacon Sandwich was tasty and hit the spot. Nothing else to report. I have no need to come back here. It served a purpose the day I went. Make sure you get the sweet potato fries read more

Great place! The delivery is so fast . They never mess up an order. But one thing I can say is if you have a problem with your order ask for general manager, he will help you out. The younger kids there are nasty if you have a problem with an order, I got hung up on. When I called back the ACTUAL manager answered. Very nice man thought. Definitely need to hire more professional people.... read more

The food is decent and the service is ok. It's pretty much your average diner food. The place is also open late so if you're up late and in the mood to go out for food this isn't a bad choice. read more

We stopped in here for a quick dinner before a wake we were going to on Staten Island. We were greeted by a friendly staff and were taken to a large booth in the corner. The waitress was friendly and took our drink orders very quick. I had a bacon cheeseburger deluxe. It was excellent. A nice sized burger grilled to perfection. My son had a chicken wrap. He loved it because he ate the whole thing and said it was very good. The waitress was very kind to my daughter who has autism and even gave the kids cookies when we left. I would definitely recommend this establishment. We will be back any time we are on the Island again. Thanks. read more

Ive never not tipped in my entire life. The service here is trash, we ordered ice cream and chicken fingers and they didnt even give us the ice cream. We also ordered cake and the cake was stale, like a month old stale. This place hasn't been the same since covid. read more

The people and staff are actually cool and nice ppl, nothing personal but it gets one star bc the food is absolutely terrible to be honest...TOO MUCH SALT OMG I ordered an omelette and it tasted like the chef dumped a whole bottle of salt on it and had a bad day so just decided to keep scrambling the eggs and finish making it anyway. No exaggeration it's like I was gargling with hot water and tons of salt for a soar throat...never again I couldn't eat more than one bite. Once again, no offense to anyone that works there but I must tell truth. read more

Placed an order for them through seamless. Order was taking awhile so we called and asked about our order and a man told us "it just left." I wait another 30 minutes, check seamless and it says our order was refunded. I called back and a woman told us they never got our order. So we waited two hours for food that wasn't coming and instead of them doing their job they just tell you whatever they want when you call to inquire. The woman on the phone needs a good brushing up on customer service etiquette. Granted it may have been seamless' fault but when your worker lies about the order being on the way you can apologize. Their explanation was that the man who said that isn't supposed to answer the phones... and that's my problem, because?????????? 0 stars would be more accurate read more

This is the worst place on the island, not only was the food garbage and over priced, but the employees are not all mask compliant!! I understand that in a restaurant if you are eating the mask is not on however the managers standing and walking around without masks in and out of the kitchen where FOOD IS BEING PREPARED is unacceptable! Then after i brought it to their attention i was told to leave and get out! This was so unprofessional for a "business" and disgusting considering food was being served. I understand that we are all tired of it but i know that we all have to be compliant if we ever want some sort of normalcy in life back!!! read more

Used to really like it , my buddy worked there for a little so we had the hook up Whatup tho. But over time they changed staff and the place went to the gutter. They forget the sauce and the food is only good because of how amazing the honey mustard is, so at that point the food was barely worth my money without the sauce. Sad to say my expectations were shat upon and my money was wasted. read more

Was not impressed with the food. Ordered the Hungry Man which had eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage and ham. Bacon was over cooked and tasted burnt. Pancakes were very tough. Had difficulty trying to cut them with a knife. Ham looked like deli ham. Normally it's Virginia Ham at other diners. Eggs and sausage were good. Service was good. Waitress was friendly and came over several times to make sure I had enough coffee. Don't think I'd go back. read more

Ordered disco curly fries (with gravy) and wings. We clarified the order several times and after receiving food there was no gravy, no curly fries and the fries that we did receive, were soggy. Pretty much a waste. Honestly surprised because I used to go to Mikes a lot and always enjoyed the food. read more

Went for breakfast. Plenty of parking, great service and food. The manager made his rounds to make sure everything was what we asked for and asked if we needed more coffee. read more

Got seated quickly for a table of two despite there was a line at the door on a Saturday morning. Waitress was right on it with bringing us water and asked if we were ready to order. I followed my coworkers lead as he's been here several times. Ordered the mikes special based on his recommendation. Filled with ham, sausage, bacon, three eggs cooked to however you liked, and homestyle potatoes. Portion was huge when they brought it out. Definitely enough for two! Delicious and great and most importantly, it came out fast because I was hungry! What a filling Saturday afternoon...packed with friendly Staten islanders read more

One of the nicer diners on the Island, but...perhaps you know my take on diner food by this point. There is nothing particularly bad nor good about this particular diner. They do the burger, grilled cheese, pancakes etc...just like any other diner. Good. Solid. Not fantastic. You get my diner drift, eh? read more

Well actually not eating anything. This place sux. I order something I didn't want cause they didn't have what I did want and the so screwed that up as well. Burger was over cooked beyond recognition. The bread was toasted black. The onion rings were either left in the fryer to long or the oil needs to be changed...now. Moms food was ok, a bit on the skimpy side and came out in stages instead all together. Not happy at all. I will never come here again. Oh and still waiting for Evelyn's ranch dressing and a soda refill. read more

like many folks have mentioned... this is one of the better diners in SI. Colonnade Diner is another OK one, but i'd pick this diner over all of them. their menu is huge- the burgers are always made nicely and service is always pleasant. it never gets too crowded; you can hang out with your friends and not be bothered by the staff or other patrons. read more

I'm not one to complain about diner food because you know what you're getting. This last experience pissed me off so much I now feel the need to complain. Ordered 2 turkey club sandwiches I took one bite the bacon was so hard when I took a bite I thought it was a bone. I removed the bacon and tried to eat it plain until my daughter discovered a small bug with wings on the lettuce of her turkey club sandwich. Everything went in the garbage. We tried to at least eat the fries but we were so grossed out we tossed those too. The pickles were stale. I assume this is how they handle their pick up orders. They wouldn't dare serve this food to their seated customers read more

Ordering from this diner has never failed me . They make great milkshakes , sandwiches, and apps. Food is always good , presentation is never sloppy , delivery people are friendly , and the order is always correct . They get really busy sometimes and the only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because sometimes it can take a little longer than the ETA, which is totally understandable. They make a dynamite chicken salad club sandwich too ! read more

I guess this is your typical Staten Island diner. I haven't had much experience eating in SI but I'm from Brooklyn so I guess it can't be that far off. The menu looks about the same, so do the prices. I ordered an egg white omelette; was pretty good but I couldn't finish it. I normally don't eat before 2pm so it was overwhelming for me. He got waffles and sides of meats. That thing was huge and he almost ate it all. Nothing great and nothing bad. It's so-so. read more
