Michael’s Grill & Salad Bar offers perfectly crispy fries and a delicious spicy chicken sandwich, although some find the cheese sauce too cheesy. The restaurant has an old diner vibe and serves great salads with a wide selection of chopped salad types and toppings. Prices have increased significantly over the years, with some customers feeling it is higher than other places. The service is fast, making it a good spot for a quick bite in a relaxing atmosphere. Some customers have noted that the restaurant is very kid-friendly and a great choice for casual dinners with friends.
Recently, customers enjoyed the Vanilla Malt with Sprinkles, which was described as solid and standard. The Caesar salad Wrap with Chicken in a Spinach Tortilla received praise for its generous size and proper ratios. The loaded fries and Mike’s Bites, both featuring premium melting cheese, were also highlighted, with some preferring the crispy potatoes of the Mike’s Bites. The jumbo chili cheese dog was noted for being charred perfectly, with customers suggesting that the hotdogs are better than the burgers. While the Diner Burger was described as simple, it still represents the classic diner experience. Overall, many customers express a desire to return for the hotdog and the Caesar wrap.
Michael’s has also catered events, receiving positive feedback for their setup, staff, and efficient buffet line, with everything from the fries to the cheese remaining hot. Adam and his team have been acknowledged as real pros in delivering quality service.
