We have been to Mikhael's a few times and haven't been disappointed. The food and service are outstanding. Lindsey was our server today and she was amazing. She was continuously checking on us (but not too often) and always had a smile on her face. I will definitely go back over and over again. read more

Food was pretty tasty overall. Customer was average. And the place was not the cleanest. But because of the food I give it a 4 star. Paid $27 for 2 omelettes and 2 biscuits. read more

First time in this place that has been here forever. Small but you get that comfortable at home feeling. It was clean inside and well lit with plenty of windows. The service was so welcoming and they talked with us and joked around. They were not just there to serve but to interact and talk with us. A very nice experience. The food was good, there were no complaints from anyone in our group. The place only serves breakfast and lunch and they do it very well. I will be trying to come back more often. read more

Mikhael's Restaurant - Front counter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Really solid greasy spoon experience. Iowa nice servers (which is not always given for diners), decent comfort food, clean ambience, and a good mix of townie clientele. The food was quite underseasoned, but nothing that could t be fixed with table salt and pepper. They probably do this on purpose for the older folks who might be limited salt. We had breakfast and everything was pretty much exactly as you'd expect. Generous portions! read more

Great biscuit and gravy and coffee Great pancakes are delicious. Great eggs and sausage and toast. read more

Great old school breakfast. Consistent and very reasonably priced. I see why they have very loyal customer base.

Love this place. Just good food and service. Places like this are too few now. Family owned and run. Great people.

What this charming restaurant does, they do VERY well. The staff was very friendly and personable. Our breakfasts were very well-prepared and tasty. One standout dish was their pancakes with granola, blueberries, and cinnamon. The cinnamon did not overpower, but was the perfect amount to let the blueberries shine. And they were SO filling. The coffee was good, and hot refills were frequently offered. My parents come here all the time, and I know that every time we come to visit Iowa (we live in Texas), we will make this a stop every trip. read more

Breakfast is great. Haven't had a bad meal. Friendly staff and service is good despite being busy during weekend breakfasts.

A nice, old fashion eat in restaurant! Nothing fancy. Just good food and great service! read more

Everything was super good, had a bunch of super nice people, staff was very friendly, overall great place to eat!

The food here is really good. But what really stands out is the service and atmosphere. The staff is so welcoming and caring. They know your drink order after your second visit. Michael's is by far my favorite breakfast spot! read more

Traditional Greek family owned diner hits the spot for a weekend brunch. From the warm and friendly welcome to the quick and attentive service to the yummy cinnamon swirl french toast, this ma and pop shop is a neighborhood gem on 6th street. Pass on The Breakfast House and make your way here as it is worth the extra 3 block drive. Typical menu offers breakfast items, homemade soup and hot sandwiches including gyros and phillies. Greek style seasoning adds a kick to the grilled chicken. Not a fancy place, but lots of parking. We had a great first visit. read more

Mikhael's Restaurant - Gyro with cup of homemade soup only $6.55. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

This place is a classic Greek diner in all the good ways. All the breakfast favorites you expect with a few treats thrown in (ex: Greek style eggs with spinach, tomato, and feta or cinnamon swirl french toast). Friendly staff. Fast service. When I needed food and caffeine pronto after sleeping poorly at the campsite, they came to the rescue. Happy to have stumbled across it. read more

I've been coming here for years. The food is consistently good and the service is fast and friendly. We always check to see if they have potato soup - we could make a meal from this alone. I opted for eggs and potatos which were perfectly prepared. My kid at the grilled cheese sandwich. It looked good and judging how fast it disappeared I must assume it was tasty. read more

I was practically dying of hunger, so me and my father decided to go there. We sat down at our table and waited a very very long amount of time for our food. They gave us the wrong order, and after an hour we decided to leave, dying of hunger. They were slower than a tortoise on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Very friendly staff, never had to wait for a drink refill and food was great and at a fair price. Would definitely stop again! read more

Mikhael's Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

This spot was the perfect place to stop and have brunch. We knew when there was a wait at the door it was a good sign. The front entry was a little low on space, but the staff did a great job greeting waiting customers and supplying menus for those who wanted them. It was a great distraction during the wait. My husband and I both ordered breakfast - cinnamon French toast and a steak omelette. We were amazed by the amount of food! Every single thing on our plates was eaten. We were impressed all around by the staff, food, and amazing price! We will definitely recommend this place to our Iowa family and friends. read more

I had an omelet with country potatoes, very good. My husband had country fried steak with same potatoes ,we both enjoyed our meals. Service was outstanding. We are from California and enjoyed the stop. read more

Great local spot for an amazing breakfast or lunch. If you try anything try the cinnamon rolls! They are the size of your face and absolutely the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had!!! Fabulous attentive service and a friendly atmosphere. read more

Mikhael's Restaurant - Best. Cinnamon Roll. Ever. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Mikhael's Restaurant is a good place to go when your in the area. The food is good, but not the best. I had a Belgium waffle, two eggs, and two strips of bacon. The bacon was the best tasting part of it all. The eggs and waffle just tasted like you would expect an average egg and waffle to taste like. The people I was with ordered omlets, and I was told the omlets didn't have enough cheese and were again like most of the other food average. The environment was nice, it had a cozy little diner feel. The place was a little dirty outside and inside, but nothing that bad. The service was very good though and I think that's what brings this up to three stars. read more

Such a great restaurant! We've been going to this place for years. Friendly staff and great food. We 100% choose this restaurant for all our breakfast needs. read more

If Mikhael's doesn't remind you of wherever you grew up, I feel sorry for you. Mikhael's is what breakfast spots are like in my hometown, and how they should be everywhere. As you sit at the counter, you can't help but notice the number of customers who are greeted by name as they enter, or who stop to say bye to the chef as they leave. That sort of thing may not matter to you. I would argue that it should, though. Customers don't come to a restaurant often enough to be known by name, or fall into the habit of thanking the chef by name as they leave, unless the food is consistently great. I probably have enough motivation to get out to breakfast about twice a year. So, when I couldn't decide between the corned beef hash, and cinnamon French toast; I just ordered both. I'm glad I did, because both were excellent. I would give a slight edge to the cinnamon French toast in the competition between the two breakfasts. It wasn't just French toast with cinnamon on it. It was French toast made with bread that has cinnamon baked into it, which makes for a much better meal. It was also cooked perfectly. While the French toast was a little better than the corned beef hash, that's not a knock on the hash by any stretch. I feel like too many places overwork hash to the point where the corned beef and potatoes are unrecognizable as individual components. This hash managed to impart the right amount of the corned beef's flavor onto the potatoes, without turning the dish into the typical overdone homogenous mush that many short order cooks produce. If you happen to have the misfortune of being awake to face the world early enough to grab breakfast out, stop by Mikhael's. It definitely brightened my morning. read more

Great food and service can't be beat. Would definitely eat there again when visiting in the area.

I used to come here every now and then with my mom and dad as a little kid and have breakfast, thought I would come check. It out with a co worker and see how they were holding up. Place is clean and service is fast and friendly, and the food is as good as I remembered it when I was a little guy! read more

Today marked my second visit to this nice family owned restaurant. I had the country fried steak with sausage gravy, 2 eggs over easy and a pile of American fries. I sent a picture of this breakfast to my daughter who said it should really be named heart attack on a plate. Which I thought was pretty funny but it was absolutely true and it was absolutely an excellent breakfast. So if your cholesterol levels are good and you don't have any chest pains then this is the perfect breakfast for you. read more

Stopped here for lunch and wasn't impressed. Ordered a BLT that had salad dressing, not mayo. The other was a daily special, noodles with a meat gravy and was tastey. read more

Just your average (or subpar) breakfast diner. Dirty tables. Good part, very speedy service. Food doesn't taste at all and when you come down with diarrhea after you know it was full of grease too. As I always state: large portions do not make up for quality. However, seems to work for them...just look around. Scott's or Oscars across town do offer a better option. read more

We went for breakfast on a Friday morning, the place was packed. We were able to get a table quickly but the waitress didn't stop by to check on our drinks and it took over 30 minutes to get our food. Omelettes are paper thin, potatoes are bland lacking any flavor. Biscuits and gravy was ok but the gravy was on the cold side. I would not come back. read more

Pretty mediocre and bland. I got better service from the other waitress that wasn't ours. The redhead serving there is pretty terrible. Shipwrecks are ok, the omelette are meh. And somehow the French toast was not good. I'm not sure how they managed to make bread dipped in egg bad but they did. I'd go here again if every other place was closed for breakfast, which was why I was here in the first place. Still slightly better than Perkins. Maybe. read more

Fabulous family owned restaurant! Staff was very friendly and food was delish! My boyfriend and I stopped here for breakfast while we were in town for an Iowa game. It was an excellent choice. Highly recommend this cute little restaurant. read more

Very good breakfast spot. Visiting from out of town and looking for a local spot and found this gem. Service was great and food was quickly prepared. Pancakes were delicious- fluffy and flavorful. I had the regular and my wife had the blueberry. Both were excellent! My daughter had the cinnamon French toast which was also excellent. Next time in CR we will certainly be back! read more

Wonderful, relaxing atmosphere. Quick, polite service. Cooked from scratch good food.

no accountability. Asked for manager. They did not want to deal with any issue complaints.

Small old school diner with reasonable prices and good food. Breakfast is their speciality and all I've ever ordered here.

The servers were kind and prompt. We ordered biscuits and gravy I.e the stacker, a shipwreck (like a skillet meal), and cheeseburgers for the kids. We also tried the cinnamon roll. All food was good. They were incredibly busy on Sunday so we waited a while but staff kept checking in with us to make sure we knew it was coming and filled drinks. Great job to the two cooks who worked hard to feed everyone. read more
