I was hoping one day after the original owner retired and that the new owner would start including hash brown potatoes with their ham & egg breakfasts.
So, looking for a nice fat piece of Ham slices on a awesome bun with goodies sprinkled on top....lol
Jk. But yes!!! This really is the place for good ol fashioned eating and talking.
Mike's has been excellent for the 40+ years I have been going.
Old school charm...very inviting...
Amazing!!! Good food, great service. The new owners are great!!!
Absolutely tasty. To the point good and exact service, if you don’t want ham, they can make you a grilled cheese, with ham:-)
Mike’s Famous Ham Place made the New York Times list of “The 26 Best Dishes We Ate Across the U.S. in 2024”. Definitely deserving of all the attention!! I luv ham, but usually it’s too salty for my taste and for my kidneys. But we had breakfast there today and the ham was absolutely perfect!! Super tasty, not salty, huge portions! - hand-carved from a whole ham right in front of you. Perfect eggs and good coffee, too. It’s a small place, as in like very small – just a row of swivel chairs set against your typical vintage (but clean and well-maintained) diner counter. Friendly folks behind the counter and friendly customers, too! Check it out sometime. And btw they sell ham bones for soup: $5 a bag! PS they only take cash. I'm definitely going back.
First time eating here & it was delicious! Sandwich and soup, perfect lunch. Going back next week to try breakfast!🍳 😋
Amazing!!!

I've loved them forever! I stop in every now and then and I've always been greeted with the same love and great ham I remembered.

I will be honest, I didn't get to try the food as it was cash only. However, the man running the place was willing to just let me have the sandwich and pay him back layer and if I hadn't been from out of town and unsure when I'd ever be able to, I would have taken him up on the offer! Great service and a place I look forward to getting to try sometime in the near future!

Been coming here for years. Breakfast, the soups, even the coffee and pie are everything you’d hope for!
