Very good spot to stop and grab a meal. We had a lovely breakfast with big portions and affordable cost. Definitely give the zucchini bread a try.

The bacon cheese burger is huge and delicious. I’d asked for no tomato but got a slice. I just removed it and enjoyed the meal and visiting with about 30 of my mom’s HS Classmates.

While driving from Spokane to Montana we wanted to find a nice hometown place to get a hearty breakfast and Michael D’s didn’t disappoint. Our server Diana was very accommodating and answered all of our questions about the menu. I ordered the Country Fried Steak with a pancake and my Girlfriend ordered the corned beef hash with the Saratoga style scrambled eggs. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. Seasoned well and cooked to perfection. As a chef and restaurant industry veteran, I can say beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Corned Beef Hash is the best I’ve ever had. We will be back anytime we are in the area!!

Oh my God! This was so delicious! I had the chicken fried steak with country gravy, eggs scrambled with cheese, breakfast potatoes, and I subbed a blueberry pancake for the toast product. My husband had the happy hog scrambler with a side of biscuits and gravy. I don't know what to brag about first... The chicken fried steak was excellent! It was cooked perfection, sometimes you get a little soggy chicken fried steak but this was NOT like that at all! The gravy was perfect! I like the way they chunk up their sausage in their gravy. The pancake was somewhere between a crepe and a pancake with this crisp outside that almost felt fried, but this light fluffy inside. That was amazing! I did NOT need syrup! But the potatoes... THE POTATOES!!!!! Normally breakfast potatoes are... you know, whatever. They made THESE breakfast potatoes so crisp on the outside but almost creamy on the inside! And the flavoring was beautiful. Balance salty Rosemary... This is literally making me drool as I type this. My husband and I live in Montana, but we discussed it, and after eating at this place, we have decided we're picking up our whole lives, quitting our jobs and moving to Coeur d'Alene... within walking distance of this restaurant. So, if you come to this restaurant, just look for us. We will be the couple that weigh 500lb from gorging ourselves eating here everyday.

One of the best breakfast I ever had, and the best toast I ever had (really thick cut slices of bread). The corned beef hash was homemade and not from a can. Eggs cooked perfectly. The breakfast potatoes were delicious (especially with a side of hollandaise sauce). The zucchini bread was amazing! Located not far from the high way. The service is friendly and the food comes out hot and fast. Definitely worth the stop, amazing breakfast!

I visited Michael’s Eatery for the first time and really enjoyed the experience. The environment is cozy, and the place is exceptionally clean—something every customer values and expects in a dining establishment. They open at 6 a.m., which is a great plus if you’re looking for an early breakfast. The service is friendly, and the portions are generous. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality makes it worthwhile. I also appreciate the location and the welcoming atmosphere. Overall, it’s a place I’d gladly visit again every once in a while. Based on my experience, it’s a well-deserved 5-star rating.
