Michael's is the best! We were staying in Windham and looking for a quick bite to eat. We stopped at Michae'ls around 4pm on a Monday and ordered burgers to go. The waitress, I wish i remembered her name, was wonderful! Super nice and helpful! We ordered the Americana Burger which was delicious as were the fries and the bacon aioli! To top it all off, when we had ordered we discussed ordering dessert to go but decided not to. When the waitress brought out the food, she said she included two slices of cake; on the house - courtesy of the owner Nick! What a wonderful surprise! Will definitely be stopping by on my next trip there! read more

Windham Diner - The Americana Burger with fries, onion rings and bacon aioli - Diners Near Me - Windham, New York

This diner has a lot of options, and at the time we were there the veggie burger was dairy and egg free along with a handful of options that were also vegan. This place is FAR from veg friendly but during the Yoga Festival in October they had a few. The sweet potato fries were really good and the portions were huge. The server was amazingly helpful and very accommodating. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g48902-d867020-r316160178-Michael_s_Diner-Windham_Catskill_Region_New_York.html# read more

Good food and pretty good variety, they have a really good season omg , always is a pleasure to visit this place. I really like it

Enjoyed Spanakopita (traditional Greek spinach pie) with family and a friend on Saturday. The food was excellent and service prompt.

Michael's Diner is our favorite go to place in Windham New York. The food is always fantastic! Pork chops with hot cherry peppers is the best around. They are extremely generous with their portions! We have never been able to finish our meal. There's always leftovers! The owners, Nick and Vicki, make you feel right at home. They are warm, personable and genuine. They are generous, and excellent with large families and lots of kids. If you're looking for a really good food, and really good people, Michael's Diner is the best! read more

Also know as The Windham Diner. The breakfast was delicious. Big fluffy pancakes, great omelettes and coffee was very good. I highly recommend. read more

The food and service here is always excellent. The best Greek salad I have ever had. I also recommend the farmers omlette if you have a hearty appetite. They lose a star for not accepting credit cards. read more

Good spot for a quick breakfast before you hit the mountain. Been here several times for that, but haven't eaten here otherwise. Prices are great. Food is pretty good. Love the hash browns and had an awesome omelette yesterday morning. I have never had a problem with bad service as some other reviewers have. Maybe those reviewers had a bad attitude and the locals didn't take to it very well. I see it all the time and people like that give the rest of us (New Yorkers) a bad name. Say "please" and "thank you" .... Maybe you will get better service. Or, try controlling yourself and not bouncing off the walls 24/7. You might be on vacation, but you are visiting their home. And, complaining that they don't take credit cards is dumb. That's their choice. Carry some cash when you leave the city. Makes your life easier. read more

"Diner" is not really fitting because Nick, the owner of Michael's, is a real chef. We have even ordered our Thanksgiving Turkey from him and by far the best turkey my family has ever had. True that Michaels offers traditional diner fare, but its when you get into the more substantial offerings such as his prime rib or pulled pork that you realize Nick has skills that go well beyond the grill. Portions are immense as well so great value. read more

Awesome place to eat breakfast before snowboarding, been coming to Windham all my life and this place is now a breakfast staple for me. read more

Windham Diner - Spectacular food, people are nice, will definitely eat here again - Diners Near Me - Windham, New York

The food here was pretty good but there are a few bad things about this place that probably needs some adjustments. I'm from the city and these people don't have a good attitude and got nervous when a big group walked in. I heard one of the waiters screaming at someone through the phone right next to our table. It's pretty cold in here so I had to keep my coat on. This place is also cash only which just makes them lose customers because not everyone nowadays holds cash, they are just avoiding to pay taxes. We had to drive all the way to the bank which is 28 miles up the road just to get cash. My friend asked for no pickles, tomatoes, or lettuce and still got them on the burger. We didn't feel welcomed here and they rushed us out by giving us the check while we were still eating (we didn't ask for the check and were continuing to order). Overall this place is pretty bad and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I am very happy to be going home to the big city to get a real service that cares about there customers. Oh... one more thing, DONT CHARGE FOR WATER ITS A BAD LOOK. read more

Very friendly staff and very big portions! After a long day of snowboarding Michael's really hits the spot. Food is decent - as good as any diners in NY but with 50% more food in a homier setting. Big breakfast portions as well. If you're not sure what to get, just try the specials on the board, listen to the recommendations and enjoy = ) read more

Michaels Diner use to be my "go to" place every time I visited Windham, but the last few times have left me and my family very disappointed. First lets talk about the service. The owners wife really should not wait tables. She clearly lacks people skills. She is rude and has no patience. It's almost as if she doesn't want to be there. We felt as if we were bothering her if we asked for anything; for example napkins. She never checked up on us to see if everything was ok. And believe me Nothing was ok. I understand the stress of running a restaurant (I own two in the city) but honestly if you're the owner and you are showing your paying customers bad service that is not a good sign. This is upstate for Petes sake! It's not like it's high volume. The restaurant was empty the last time we were there. We ordered a burger that was the texture of rubber and it had a bad smell. The quesadilla was dry and hardly any cheese. We brought this to the waitresses attention and she said "oh no it's fresh" and charged us anyway.  The only reason I'm giving this diner two stars is because the prices are reasonable for the portion you get. Also, we respect Nick the owner (opposite personality of his abrasive wife).  Nick if you read this, make your wife stay at home instead of trying to ruin your business. We are now eating at Neapolis pizzeria & grill. Where the food is delicious & fresh but most importantly the service is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!!!!!!!!! read more

This place is great. Great food. Great service. Never disappointed. Highly recommend the Lemon Chicken. So flavorful and moist. Very generous portions too. read more

I am usually not at all a person to get annoyed with mediocre service but this took the price. We were a group of friends coming for brunch, it took us about 1 hour before we finally received our food. The food was fine, nothing special but not bad however the exceptionally slow service drove us all crazy. We were several times trying to get the waiters attention without success and I would not recommend you going there if you are really hungry, but if you don't mind the wait it's a decent place. read more

I was in town for the World Cup mountain bike race and this diner was recommended to me by a few locals. Michael's Diner will not be receiving my business in the future for this race. My group was not greeted at the door so we sat ourselves. A waitress eventually provided us with menus, but we were not offered water or coffee. After 20 minutes of being ignored by staff who preferred to drink coffee instead of serve us, we got up and left. The prices seemed reasonable though. read more

We've been coming here for years but mostly for breakfast. Always happy with the food & service. Today we came for dinner & the seafood fra diavolo was amazing. Extremely fresh with the seafood perfectly cooked. The tilapia is filleted in house. It was also made spicy to order. Definitely getting that again!! read more

Love Michaels Diner! Lots of choices and never takes too long. A little on the expensive side I think. But always very good

If you are looking for fancy......drive by. If you are looking for good food at great prices, park the car on the side, take a walk though town, and order up at Micheals. You will not be disappointed.. It makes NYC diners look 2nd rate. read more

Great breakfast! They are cash only. Definitely a good choice. My husband was please the oatmeal is made properly & not from a bag. I enjoyed my scrambled eggs & bacon. read more

They do not take credit cards. Fries are amazing, salads not so much. It's decent and open most of the day everyday. Breakfast all day is a nice bonus. Nostalgic place for sure but the food needs a little help. read more

Great food! The portions are good, lots of healthy options (also some less healthy options), it's a great place to eat. The turkey burger is especially yummy. read more

Best Diner in Windham! The portions are huge and the prices are very reasonable. The chicken souvlaki with Greek salad is delicious. I go there very often and always get friendly service :) read more

This is a great diner in a small little town. If you get the chance I would definitely stop by and check it out. We tried the fish and chips and French toast which was absolutely wonderful. Friendly staff and quick service. read more

Best chicken souvalki ive ever had. Greek salad is delicious. Fresh homemade soups that I love. also very good scrambled eggs.

This review is solely based on customer service because I haven't tried my food yet. I came into this diner tonight to grab some food to go. As a vegan consumer, it is often difficult and intimidating to order food in restaurants. Our waitress was very helpful in gathering information about what items contained butter etc. We were also approached by another wonderful waitress who not only shared with me that their veggie burger was certified vegan but also gave me another menu option and explained how to make it vegan for me. I have never been taken care of so well in a restaurant. They absolutely catered to my special requests! wish I didn't live out of state! This will absolutely be our go to stop when we come up for the holidays. I highly recommend coming to this diner, you will not be disappointed. I can't wait to dig in to my meal! read more

Fast service with a nice staff. Perfect after a day on the slopes! Plus free cake after the meal!

Got a Monte Cristo to go with just turkey and chedder and it hit the spot. I didn't think it would, but I believe I found a new favorite here. read more

Michael's is an exceptionally good diner in my opinion. I am from New york City and love to be able to be here and still be able get a quality meal from people who work hard and fast while serving what I think is great food. Just remember that it closes at 9pm and I think you will like it. read more

I had my dinner at this diner....its very spacious and food was good. They also served the delicious dessert for free :)

Tons of food always no matter what you order. Great prices. This is more for the owner there is no menu avaliable online which should change due to your huge menu. This is the only place in town that is open at all convient hours but arent convient with the fact they do not take credit cards... and theres no ATM in the building. But its worth it because their food and service is pretty good! read more

It's a staple diner in a small ski resort town, so yes, it's crowded. But things move very briskly so the wait is not really very long. The staff is super friendly and cheerful and they will warn you the owner "loves to feed people!". The specials menu is very exciting, with a surprising emphasis of vegetables (spinach, kale, squash, cauliflower and broccoli worked into almost every dish). The portions are very generous. The pasta dishes are around a pound of pasta each. The crab cake appetizer was 3 quarter pound cakes. You'll need to tell the staff NOT to pack up your leftovers if you don't want them. Otherwise they will automatically box them up and bring them back to you, along with a giant slab of cake that is on the house. And if you are too full to eat the cake, they will box that up for you too! It was a comfortable and fairly priced meal. read more

They say there is a first time for everything just paid 3.00 for a cup a tea. Noticed also my omelette just went up 2.00 winter prices in effect read more

I think I've eaten at just about every Greek Diner on the Eastern seaboard. But I have to say none match Michael's Diner in Wyndham, New York. Not only are the staff the most pleasant, but when you tell them how you would like your meal made they make sure it comes out just the way you like it. Had my third Thanksgiving dinner today, here with my wife and with my family in the past. It's so good that I really want to give my wife and family a break and not let them cook dinner. Be forewarned they only take cash no CC. read more

Portions are huge, the food is delicious and the prices are moderate. I recently toured Greece and honestly tell you that the spanakopita and souvlaki are better at Michael's than in Athens or Salonika. Roast lamb or roast pork are always a treat. The eggplant parmagian over chicken cutlet was wonderful. I only gave 4 stars because that is my maximum. NOBODY gets 5 stars :) read more

What a pleasant surprise! Visiting this small town on a holiday weekend. After the long drive here, I didn't feel like cooking. I spotted Michael's in town and thought I'd give it a shot, though I didn't have high hopes. The service was fantastic. Smiling, friendly waitress and fast service from the kitchen. The portions were huge! It would take me a week to finish my entree. I ordered a special - chicken bruschetta. Fabulous. I was surprised at the end if my meal with free dessert. It was a fresh baked pastry a la mode that I swore I had no room for...I ate every bite. When the bill came I was shocked by how inexpensive it was. Would definitely stop here again if in the area. read more

This was the perfect place to eat dinner after a long day on the ski slopes at Windham. The service was great. The food was very good and the portions were quite plentiful. Their list of specials was incredibly long. There was also a complimentary surprise serving at the end of the meal. read more

This diner doesn't take credit cards, but they don't tell you that anywhere except on a small sign behind the register that you only see once you try to pay. They sent me out in a -18 degree wind chill on New Years Eve searching for an ATM with a rude comment and a shrug like I should have known they would be too cheap to pay the 3% surcharge on a credit transaction, which I'm sure they could afford with their overpriced menu, instead of making me pay $4 in ATM fees and walk 15 minutes in the cold to pay my bill. read more

Great food, friendly atmosphere, huge portions. Pancakes rock.

Food was OK, service was not as bad as some of the reviews say, but they DO NOT take credit cards even though their Yelp page says that they do. Had to walk to the gas station to find an ATM. read more
