Mike's City Diner

A bustling morning with a great atmosphere. The portions are generous and beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed the French toast! It has a rich cereal aroma, a fluffy and soft texture, and the maple syrup pairing is fantastic! Highly recommended! The waffles, on the other hand, are just average.

I love the diner atmosphere. Portions were nicely sized. The pastrami was nice and tender. Although I like my coleslaw slightly on the sweet size, the coleslaw wasn't too bad. Had a very lovely crunch to it. I would go again and try other food items. Bit by the look of the plates passing by me, didn't seem like there was any "bad" menu item.

Stopped by Mike’s City dinner for a late brunch on the weekend. It was busy with a line out the door but turn over is quick and staff work hard to get folks seated inside and comfortable. The food was hot and fresh and quick to arrive after ordering. I really enjoyed my chicken and waffles and found them prepared perfectly. Would recommend and stop by again next time I’m in the area.

we went for brunch on saturday and there was a bit of a line but it went quickly. the place is small but super reasonably priced and the portions were huge! i wanted french toast at first, but saw "the pilgrim" on the menu and it reminded me of one of my favorite sandwiches from capriottis called "the bobby" so i had to go for it, and it did not disappoint! I totally recommend coming here for a classic diner experience.

Classic American diner with some upscale menu options (Duck confit hash) near Massachusetts Ave on Washington St. A popular local favorite and its easy to see why with the friendly staff and great food with generous portions and a welcome change to many of the dining options in the South End. I had the Reuben with onion rings, pickle, and some coffee. The Reuben is served on perfectly grilled dark Rye bread that has a nice crisp to it but isn't hard. The real star of this sandwich though is the corned beef which it is loaded with. It is lighter on the kraut than I would have preferred, but that is personal taste. The onion rings were crispy (again without being hard) and were piled high. The pickle is more of a brined cucumber and that cucumber flavor really comes through. The coffee was robust in flavor compared to many you find in dining establishments. Total bill was $25 (minus tip). Overall, a great place for breakfast or lunch and I'll definitely be back!
