Michael's Diner At Shaker Square

My kids and I visited here for breakfast after reading many good reviews and because it was just minutes from our AirBnB. I love a good little diner, and this one fit the bill. Michael's is very small and cozy, and being located right along the tracks gives it unique view out the windows. I could tell there are many regulars, as the lady at the register knew many people by name and/or order. My kids and I all really enjoyed our food, although our waitress forgot to write down an item when taking our order and she never came back by our table until we were all done eating, so I was unable to get it added on. Overall, though, it was a good, no frills little spot for a quick bite to eat and for cheap!

Good food & service.. No restrooms and half the seatings blocked off... but was excellent. Right in with the Shaker Square RTA rapid stop (blue/green lines)

Very good food served by pleasant people. Excellent prices.

Feels like a throwback in the best way possible. We went here with our kids before taking the train downtown for Disney on Ice. The service was very friendly and the food was above average diner food and very affordable priced! I had a Belgian waffle with fresh fruit, that was well made and tasted great. My wife had an egg croissant sandwich, which she loved, and my daughter had the M* mouse pancakes, which were also great. The only critique was they didn’t have fresh OJ, just bottled. We’ll definitely be back next time we take the train downtown.

Great food, good service, okay atmosphere. It's a nice "hole-in-the-wall" diner in Shaker Square that could be easily missable if you're just driving past. Situated on the side of railroad tracks, I can imagine it's a nice stop for a quick bite to eat for railroad passengers. The space is pretty small, and the ventilation didn't seem all that great; the restaurant fairly quickly filled up with hot air as they cooked. I got the ribeye steak and eggs, with a side of French toast as well. The steak was a little thin and plain, but otherwise I have no complaints about the rest of the meal. If you're passing through the area, looking for some quick diner-style breakfast, I can definitely recommend this place!

We're so lucky to have Michael's Diner within walking distance from our house. And, they serve liver and onions and a mean meatloaf!!

There are two slightly larger booths in the back better for seating four rather than the two or three that can be seated up front. Food was amazing, hot, fresh, reasonably priced, great portions. Service was top notch! We will be back!

This is an adorable spot right off Shaker Square. The pricing is subject to change so don’t get caught off guard by any changes.
