Mihalis Place Dining

AVOID AT ALL COST — HEALTH DEPT SHOULD CLOSE THIS PLACE DOWN
I’ ve been a regular customer at Mihalis for over three year. I’ve always liked the food and the service. I’ve brought my entire family and friends from out of town here on many occasions. I didn’t mind the plastic flowers all over the place covered in dust. I was in denial when a friend told me she will never go back cause she got food poisoning there.
Today I went in for lunch and ordered a French onion soup and sandwich. Waitress advised it is not part of soup and sandwich special — no problem. When I took my first taste of soup, I noticed something in the soup. Discreetly I advised the server that there was something in the soup that didn’t belong there and couldn’t eat it. She looked at it and said, «ewww I’m sooooo sorry».
She took the soup into the kitchen and I could hear the cook/​owner yelling at her, «It’s a piece of onion, there’s nothing wrong with the soup, she will have to pay for it!» Server came back red-​faced and apologetic that the owner said I have to pay for the soup that I had not touched.
I was shocked. I had been a long time customer and I was very cautious not to make a scene but the owners attitude has left me more angry than the soup. I paid for the soup I didn’t touch and left knowing I will not return. It was definitely a centipede in the food and I would not go back if you paid me.

Decent food. Bad service. Over priced. I used to enjoy their breakfasts, until one day I ordered extra bacon for $ 4 extra. I can get a full breakfast for $ 4 at other restaurants.

If you like the basics of of Sunday brunch, or pierogi that taste like they have a Babcia chained up in the back making them all day long, this place can usually provide you with what you want… if it isn’t too busy.
The food is generally pretty good, unless they get busy and the quality really really slips. On times when they were busy, the soup wasn”t great, I’ve had a burger almost raw when I asked for it to be well done, and I could rarely get anyone at my table, even though the place is pretty small; however, on other occasions when business wasn’t busy, I got great service, and decent food.

Okay so let me start off by saying yes I gave this place 5 stars not because it is a fancy expensive mind blowing restaurant, I got it 5 starts because it well exceeds what you might expect from this place.
I must have gone to Mihalis at least 100 times. I live in the area and it’s always my go to restaurant whether I dine in for dinner, breakfast or do pick up. The service and food is consistently excellent! It’s a family run restaurant and they truly make you feel like part of the family.
The atmosphere. They’ve done a few things over the past couple years to make it a little nicer like the wood floors and some of the paintings on the wall. If they spruced it up a little more it would be amazing to look at but it’s always clean and tidy so I don’t really care about the décor.
The staff is ridiculously friendly. All the time.
The food. Serioulsy, this is some of the best European food I’ve head. Ever. My favourite dishes are the following:
Pork Tenderloin with Dumplings — Special
Let me start off by saying I almost never eat pork besides bacon. But this is amazing! Too bad it’s only a special. Wish it was on the regular menu. Although sometimes if you ask they can make it for you.
German Schnitzle — Special
It’s schnitzle with mushrooms and gravy. Could there be anything wrong with this ever? Also a special but they’ll mostly make it for you any given day.
Goulash with Potato Pancake — Special
This is AMAZING! They only make it every other Thursday. It’s sooo good, the only thing I wish is that they didn’t put so many bell peppers in it, cause I hate bell peppers.
Greek Salad with Chicken
So simple yet so delicious
Soups — All of them. They are amazing! I love the dill pickle one and the cabbage soup, my boyfriend got their vegetable with macaroni the other day and I don’t really like tomato based soups and it was amazing!
I’ve never tried anything bad there.
The one thing they could improve on is dessert. They have a few options but the food is just so amazing that the dessert pales in comparison.
I wish they delivered! I would honestly order every week!
If you haven’t been GOOOOO!

This is a place that looks like a dive but the food is actually amazing. The Liver and Onions is my favorite. The owners are so warm and clearly family owned. The Breakfast options are amazing and just well made. It’s one of those places that doesn’t get a lot of action due the look but go in and let the owners and the food change your mind.
