Great local diner! The staff was very friendly. I was in NYC for a few days and ate breakfast here twice. The portions were a good size and the food came out piping hot. I’m from the south so I wasn’t sure about how the grits would come out. Overall, not bad for NYC. They were a little watery for my taste, but again not bad. They had counter seating if you are rolling solo. Space is a bit tight, but manageable. I went around 9am and had at most a 10 minute wait the first time and no wait the second time. I would definitely go back again for breakfast.

Great food and fast service. I got their Ruben sandwich and it was LOADED. Russian dressing came on the side. We had brunch and got the last booth — it’s a small joint so it’s likely you may have to wait.

After cycling 136 miles: I’m hungry, cold, & tired. MIKE’S was opened at 6 am and in proximity of the Atlantic Terminal LIRR. Just what the doctor ordered. I’m the 3rd patron in the door at 6:15 am. Sat at the counter and ordered the corn beef hash with eggs & hash brown. I can’t really remember much except that I wolfed it down. Pretty much ate everything including the toast minus the napkins & condiments. 😅😅 This is a good comfortable spot with pleasant vibes. If you’re hungry and it’s early. Definitely give it a try 👍👍
