Wonderful staff, great indoor and outdoor seating, and the hash is hands down some of the best I've had!

My favorite “go to” place in my Arundel community. Always have friendly service and hearty delicious food. My favorites are the Chicken Parmesan and the Monte Cristo.

Good breakfast everything was cooked well. I ordered the breakfast special # 2. The eggs cooked well, toast was fresh, home fries were good but the sausage was really good. I will definitely go back to try the lunch or dinner. When I left there were 30 cars in the parking lot and no one was waiting. I received my breakfast in 4 minutes.
Parking: Places inback of store to park.

Food ok but unfriendly place. Got no hello or acknowledgement from lady at front desk as we waited 5+ minutes when tables were available. Would rather go to an establishment that appreciates their customers.

The first thing that came up was we were not allowed to order anything from the lunch menu until 11:30 AM so we had to order from the breakfast menu. The omelette I ordered was dry and the eggs used appeared to be commercial processed eggs and just didn’t taste very good. My wife ordered the chicken biscuit and gravy , it tasted very good. I’m not sure I would return, it was only adequate.

I thought it would be a good place for my kid and me to stop for a quick bite based on the sign and it being called a diner. Children are not welcome! I have a very well-behaved 18m old who cried a couple of times for just a second and I was able to redirect her with her cup of milk very quickly. People comment on how well behaved she is on a regular basis. It was just me and her sitting in a corner and I was feeding her quietly. Despite that the waitress came back five minutes after giving me my food before I had taken a bite for myself and offered to pack up our food. It was also the worst food I’ve ever ordered from a restaurant. Everything was mushy with very little flavor except for a strange aftertaste. It tasted like it was low sodium, which would make sense since every person in the restaurant looked like they were 80 years old. It was very beautifully decorated, and it was peaceful. The portions were also enormous. The mountains of mush would feed an old lady for four days. But I wouldn’t advise this restaurant unless you are an elderly person on a tight budget. And definitely don’t bring children!
We loved this place when we first started going there about two years ago. It was great, the greatest raisin toast we ever had. We had a favorite waitress as well. When we went back our favorite waitress was gone. We figured oh well, ofcourse we would still go. The next time we went the breakfast quality had gone down. The raisin toast wasn't the same. The waitress explained they had to grill it now because the sugar on the toast ruined the toasters, so we had dry toast. I got blueberry pancakes, but they were not blueberry. It was blueberry compote. The waitress explained they have cooks working that don't understand English, therefore the blueberry compote. The prices were ridiculous. Bottom line, not going back again.

My wife and I attended the Laudholm Nature Craft Show in Wells and decided to take a leisurely ride up US Rt 1 on the way home. That's when we found Mike's American Diner in Arundel. We LOVE breakfast food and this place did not disappoint!

This place is a FIND. Don't miss it. From the quirky throwback decor, the breakfast bar for single-friendly seating, the wonderful service, and the divine food, Mike's is really "America's Diner." Enjoy!
Dietary restrictions: My travel companion fancies herself "Gluten Sensitive" and had no problem adjusting her choices appropriately. Her request to change a menu item was welcomed with a smile.
Parking: There were others waiting when we were seated so the lot was full, as you'd expect. However, my driver had no problem finding a spot to park.
