I had a great experience from the moment that I got there and I almost went into the post office instead of the restaurant and I was greeted and re directed to the right place in a funny way by Michael. The atmosphere is fun, thanks to Michael. Otherwise, it would be your regular diner. The food was really good and a good price. Definitely recommend it and hopefully I will stop again next time I'm around the area.

A real hole-in-the-wall diner.Not too many place you can still find these days where you can get a cup of coffee and a plate of good food for under $10, but at Michael's my father and I had breakfast for just a little over $16 for the two of us.Mind you we did only get a couple omelets which come with toast and a couple cups of coffee, but the prices alone should be bringing in the crowds.If that wasn't enough you got some very friendly sort running the show, a guy who will hang out with you like a friend and talk turkey while your order is being made and after you're done eating. Now that might not vibe with some people, I know myself I am more of a solitary eater when it comes to my meals, but as long as the conversations don't require me to break from my meal then that's fine by me.As for the food itself, well you got nothing to worry about. The omelets were cooked perfectly, everything requested was made, the toast was nice and buttery, and the coffee was fresh.So if you want a quick breakfast, under $20, with some light conversation, then look no further.

This small diner's location is a bit off the beaten track but is actually easy to get to off the Thruway exit. You can't beat the prices or the attentive service. If you don't mind an "old fashioned" diner that is a bit "well worn" this is worth gong to.

The lights were so dim that I thought it was closed. I'm glad I walked in because their breakfast sandwich was very good .

My husband and I planned on getting breakfast from McDonalds, however we arrived too late. They were already serving lunch. We decided to look for a diner in the area. We found Michaels’! We were immediately greeted and treated like regulars. The owner was extremely hospitable, friendly, and entertaining! The locals who were dining at the restaurant were also friendly and welcoming. Everyone seemed to know each other, engaged in conversation, and interacted with us as well. The service and food was great! I recommend the blueberry pancakes. They were the best I’ve ever eaten! My husband and I are looking forward to visiting Michaels’ whenever we pass through town.
We were blown away by how comfortable everyone made us feel...like it was a family meal almost. The food was great, service was perfect and the laughs were abundant.

It's like stepping back in time. So glad I found this place. Michael is the owner, waiter and entertainment all in one. When you eat here there is a true sense of community. Michael engages the diner is playful dialog and it feeds into an excellent experience that has been tough to find since about 1992. Looking forward to bringing some city folk in sometime and watching their reactions. Check this place out!
