I've been in Restaurant Management for over a decade. I've also eaten at some of the finest restaurants in the country through my travels. Cedar Rapids is my hometown and Ik I have a bias for this city. In my 25 years of life I can honestly say this is my favorite restaurant on the planet both from a food and service standpoint. I love everything about this place. I feel like I'm part of the family every time I step in the door. You can't buy that nostalgia anywhere.

This is a GREAT small diner. I walked in for brunch by myself and was greeted and seated immediately by the sweetest waitresses. They complimented my perfume and made sure I had everything I needed, even when I was busy texting.
Their house hot sauce is SUPERB, and it seems like it is homemade! I ordered a ham and cheese omelet with hashbrowns and toast, the special for the day. It was delicious. Not too much food either; breakfast foods dont keep very well as leftovers, so it was nice to just eat my meal and feel satisfied but not overfed. They know the names of regulars who come in and everyone seemed very happy and quickly served.

Small family owned restaurant. Nothing fancy but amazing food and waitresses that know your name. Quite busy on the weekends so get there early.

Very disappointed with my experience at Mikhael’s. The blonde waitress who usually runs the front was extremely rude, and we left before even ordering. I'm human I have bad days too and life's hard. But when I go into work my problems stop at the door, treating paying customers with that kind service, or lack of service, shouldn't be tolerated. If zero stars were possible, this place would earn it. Completely unprofessional service. Almost not worth even mentioning, my wife and I will certainly not be returning.

This restaurant closes at 2pm because the chef is the owner and he's that concerned about quality. Always perfect food, friendly service, and SO clean. If you're able to get the Wednesday soup special, the ham and bean is phoenminal - you can taste the smoked ham in every spoon full.
