    Was over at Matthews Festival around dinner time today and got a to-go dinner from Miki's. I had eaten breakfast here many times and always liked it, so I thought I'd try dinner. Got the lasagna special, with garlic bread, and side salad. Very good.

    Ruben and yams. Very good!

    Great variety of food. Service is always quick and courteous. I usually get the Reuben which is very good. Comes with one side. There's about 15-20 different sides to choose from. This place is a good 'go-to' spot.

    I came here with my friend Jenny Massad for breakfast Sunday morning a week before Christmas. I enjoyed PERFECT over-medium eggs with my crispy bacon while Jenny had savory country ham alongside her fluffy omelette. THE COFFEE WAS EXCELLENT! I understand lunch is pretty good too, especially the chicken tenders. From what I see, it looks like a great spot to grab a meat and two veg kind of deal. Simple, tasty breakfast and great service at a reasonable price. Recommend!

    Homefries, crisp as requested

    1st time trying Mikkis Found it after we were told of a 30 minute wait at Metro. Walked in and seated immediately. Prices were great, service was excellent and fast. Ordered a Hamburger breakfast and the portions were large, a rarity these days. I recommend everyone try this unknown gem.

    Huge omelette, friendly staff, old school good.

    We discovered this family-run comfort eats joint late Saturday morning purely by chance, finding a long line at Breuggers. What a nice find! Although too late for breakfast, our lunch was superb starting with the homemade piping hot macaroni and cheese. The corn beef and cabbage was delicious, with thinly sliced lean meat and perfectly steamed cabbage. The country style steak was tender and tasty as were the other sides lima beans, green beans and collards. Yeast rolls or corn bread rounds things out but were just okay. The lack of real butter was disappointing. Service was friendly and attentive. The dining room is simply decorated but roomy and comfortable. Sanitation rating was an impressive 97.5. It appeared that, on this day anyway, most of its workers were family members starting with the involved owner who roamed from table to table, checking on customers. Those that enjoy simple Greek-esque diners that serve up fresh comfort food in large quantities will appreciated this place.

    Chicken Pita.

    We were the area and were looking for a new restaurant that we've never tried. Doom yourself a favor: go try this place My Chicken Pita with a side of collard greens was delicious. My husband enjoyed his chicken salad sandwich and we will def be return customers.

    Thank you to Sean at Metro Diner for making my pickup order experience great! I was picking up a…read morespecial lunch order for my team in recognition of Employee Appreciation, and Sean took the extra time to make sure everything was perfect. He double-checked that the order was correct and made sure I had extra utensils, condiments, and everything we needed. That level of service really stands out. It meant a lot to me because this was something special I was doing for my team, and Sean helped make sure it went smoothly. Thank you again! Although I didn't get pictures of the food this time, everything was amazing. I will definitely be back and will take pictures next time. Please check them out, won't be disappointed.

    First and foremost, I want to preface by saying I believe in second chances and redemption, not…read moretrickery and bribes. Typically, when someone from a restaurant reaches out to me about my review, especially when they are not 5 star, I instantly become skeptical. However, this owner made me feel comfortable to share my thoughts and explain how my visit went before anything else. Over the years, I have received tons of owners offering me a free meal in exchange for my integrity but I could tell this owner was extremely genuine and wanted to make sure my voice was heard. The initial post will remain the same but I wanted to amend some of the initial remarks including the service. The first time I tried this place, I received service that was not in alignment to the core values and standards this restaurant upholds, which, I am human and I have worked in food service for years so trust me, I get it. Since being back twice since my initial visit, I have been treated like family. The service has been up to par and the staff has been incredibly friendly. As far as the ambiance, it gives the feel of an old diner which makes it charming and lovable. Perhaps, some restorations and furnishings can be done nothing that isn't manageable. Lastly, I wanted to make sure to do a thorough review of the menu so when I went back twice after my initial review, I tried a menu item for each the breakfast menu and the dinner menu. The food was great! It was favorable, warm and packed with fresh ingredients. I tried the ribs and Mac and cheese as well as a breakfast plate on two separate occasions without letting the restaurant know I was coming back for a remake. The only thing I wasn't super thrilled about was the Mac and Cheese, other than that it was good. It goes to saying that their standards are commendable as they do care about their service, food and experience of the customers.

    The pizza here is very, very delicious. One of the few…read moreplaces here where I can still get a nice thin crust pizza done right. The pizza and local convenience is the only reason we came here a few times. For the quality of the pizza, I still consider it a great value compared to other "social media trendy" but highly overpriced, overrated places. The environment can be nice, especially with the "night light" lamps they put on the table, music is not overwhelmingly loud or obnoxious. The white tablecloth is a nice touch. The chairs are decent. However, the wait can be very long, even if not busy. We've been here at least 4 times on various days and times (weekdays, late afternoons, early evenings, weekends, etc.) and we typically wait about 40+ minutes or so for the food to be ready. Even when there's only 2-3 other customers around, it takes about 25-30 minutes after ordering for the food to receive it. The last time we were here, it took more than 1 hour for the food to be ready. The service staff is extremely nice. However, there's still something "off" about this place and them. For example, the bar worker is expected to not only pour drinks at the bar, but also attend to non-bar restaurant guests. This is kind of weird. This place seems to give more attention and priority to bar customers and alcohol drinking "buddies" of the bar staff. The staff loves to sit and chat with their "friends" (regulars) while minimally and superficially attending to normal customers with a less sense of priority and urgency. I don't expect them to rush every single thing, but it was extremely obvious that the focus was to prioritize bar patrons over non-alcohol restaurant customers. Perhaps this is for profit reasons and if so, they should just be honest about it and separate bar staff from food waiters, like normal places do, or just simply be a bar place and not a pizza place. Also, the pizza making area is open and you can hear the workers every argument and discussion when it comes to wages, scheduling, next shift coverage, etc.. This is weird. At the price point of this pizza, I didn't think staff was being treated and paid so poorly. The vibe of the workers was just so "off", in general. The waitresses and waiters are very nice but often aloof and behave oddly. Like, is there something sketchy going on at this place? Are they on substances? Everyone is friendly but has no attention to detail, urgency or anything else. The last time we were here, it was very busy. But it took at least 1 hour to make 2 or 3 pizzas. The manager could tell we weren't happy. However, we didn't even know he was the manager as he didn't introduce himself properly but offered to comp our meal. This place gets 2 stars because of him and the delicious pizza . But if I ever come back, it'll just be order out by myself. The other person I came with absolutely hated the service and wait of this place and doesn't want to come back again.

John St. in Matthews, NC (980-226-2779, yannibistro.org).  The restaurant, owned and operated by Yanni, serves plant-based food that's vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free - and healthy!  On a recent visit I tried one of his most popular sandwiches - the Falafel Pita, stuffed with homemade Falafel, red onions, sumac, lettuce, and tahini (without the hot sauce). I enjoyed  a  rich European-style coffee, one of many beverage options that includes a wonderful selection of imported teas and an extensive list of wine and beer. For dessert, I chose a French macaron - a vivid reminder of Paris!  My delicious, healthy lunch cost around $12!   Yanni also offers other variations of the Falafel Pita, plus sandwiches made with fresh ingredients, healthy salads, and homemade soups (try the Lentil). His breakfast menu features a variety of omelets, sandwiches, and bagels. Yanni has created an elegant dining space in a part of the restaurant, where patrons may enjoy amazing entrees such as Pan-Seared Salmon, Herb-Roasted Lamb Chops, Faux Filet a la Sauce au Poivre et Cognac., and a Classic Burger. Yanni Bistro is unique to Matthews and the Greater Charlotte region.  Check it out! Or order something to go. Carol T.
