Great breakfast. I got the Paleo pancakes with eggs and bacon. Technically the Paleo pancakes are served with butter, and I'm guessing some store syrup so the Paleoness stops at the pancakes, but they were definitely delicious and I was grateful that they had something I can eat! Also, we're from Rhode Island and appreciated some of the RI decor and history. read more

Went there for breakfast, ordered the Irish Skillet, it was very good. Could have used a little more corned beef and a little less potatoes.. but isn't that always the case. My husband's chicken friend steak was wonderful, fork tender and so so good. My only complaint, the gravy on my biscuit was barely luke warm when it was served. But the biscuit was Great so I just ate it quickly before the gravy could cool off even more. Great little place, will go there again! read more

After years of trying almost every restaurant in CDA - old and new hipster - this is the BEST breakfast in town. Giant blueberry pancakes are delicious, bacon is thick and flavorful and my favorite - Irish Scrambler! Great for couples, families and family reunions in the back dining room. read more

Michael D's Eatery - Irish Scrambler - delicious! - American Near Me - Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Great place, loved the Irish scramble and zucchini bread. Portions are huge so play accordingly.

Great breakfast spot. Wife and I had an amazing breakfast. She have a very specific order for her omelette that the kitchen got just right. I loved the green chilies in my omelette and the biscuits and gravy were nice. read more

Michael's isn't the greatest breakfast place in town, but it's not the worst either. The food with bland and fairly greasy, when it doesn't need to be. As for the service, it was mediocre. We only saw our waitress when we ordered and then at the end when she gave us our bill. We were never checked on and was only given one refill of coffee, and that was done by another gal. There are better breakfast places in Coeur d'Alene and as a result I would only come here if they were closed. read more

Such a cute little place! Good food, good service but very busy! We went there on a Thursday morning and it was packed.

Excellent food. Sat in the GoDaddy Ironman room. Big portions and even bigger pancakes. I would order gravy on the side since they heap it on unless you like it that way. read more

Unassuming from the outside, and even the decor in the inside, but once the giant plates of food are placed in front of you, you'll know instantly that eating at Michael D's was the perfect choice. Had breakfast there with my sister, brother-in-law and nephew (infant) on Saturday. I ordered the cheesesteak scrambler with whole wheat toast, and it was fantastic. I added a few splashes of Tabasco sauce. The steak was sliced thin, cooked well and flavorful. It was cheesy and the potatoes and scrambles eggs made the dish perfect. We also had the trout and eggs, which was incredibly good. The fish portion was shockingly large. And, we then had the bagel florentine with the creamy spinach sauce on the side. The eggs were perfectly poached, and the bagel was sliced into thirds, which was a nice change with all the other food we enjoyed. Finally, we had a blueberry Grainy Day pancake, which was very tasty. I don't know all the background on Grainy Day but it was fantastic. The service was friendly and prompt and the tasty coffee free-flowing. read more

Always a great choice! Has been our 'special' breakfast place since we moved to the area. Would be here more if we lived closer. read more

Absolutely the best breakfast in the area. I have enjoyed almost everything on the menu I have my favorites of course. Such as the Smoked salmon omelet and the smoked salmon Benedict. I have enjoyed the lunch items equally as well. The Ortega cheese steak sandwich is very good. Also the salads are great. And the Fish and chips are so yummy. The seasoning that they put in the batter on the fish is delicious. Michael D's is such a great place I drive here for breakfast as often as we can from Spokane. Totally worth the drive no matter how far you are frome here. Just go. You will not be disappointed. But will be addicted. read more

We came in about 12 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon. This Sunday afternoon. Today. There was about a 10 minute wait, as there were a few groups ahead of us and the place was full. The hostess was polite enough and cheerful. Restaurant itself is kind of small, but I'm used to places being a little bit bigger. so we were in a rush to get in and out because we had somewhere to be after. The waitress brought us waters within minutes of being seated and asked if we would like anything else to drink, when we told her we were ready to order. We ordered a short stack of chocolate chip pancakes and the chicken fried steak and eggs. Food - Pancakes: generous serving size, I think there were two or three of them in there and they were maybe about 8 inches in diameter. I didn't taste them myself, but my son threw down half of it within 2 minutes then was full. chicken fried steak: the meat was heavily breaded and very soggy. Batter did not stay crisp and just kinda turned into one big lump when mixed with the gravy. Served over a side of potatoes which were not evenly cut so different in size. A few of the larger pieces were still somewhat raw and crunchy, not crunchy in a good way. The whole plate was heavily drenched in white gravy, which burned my throat because it was so salty. I had a side of zucchini bread with it which tasted and looked like cinnamon flavored sugary bread. Service: after we got our food, that was the last we saw of our waitress. She walked by several times and wasn't that busy at that point anymore, But didn't stop by to check on us. After we finished eating. We sat there for a good 5-8 minutes doing nothing until i finally flagged her down for the check this may pass for good home cooking in Idaho, but if I were ever passing through again, which I will be next week, I probably would not come back. read more

As an out-of-towner, it's always reassuring to walk into a restaurant and see a lot of locals. Michael D.'s is that kind of place. Service was warm but not overbearing. Our waitress reminded me of Sookie, Melissa McCarthy's character in Gilmore Girls (a big positive, for non GG fans). Michael D. himself was serving tables when we stopped in for Saturday brunch. The spacious back room where we were seated keeps wait times reasonable during peak hours. We had fun playing spot the difference among the various sized reproductions of scenes from the Coeur d'Alene Ironman triathlon that adorn the walls. Standouts from what we ordered: Zucchini bread - there's definitely more butter in here than zucchini but it's the spirit of the thing Margherita eggs benedict Sourdough french toast - "not too eggy," as our resident vegetarian and french toast expert put it read more

This place is phenomenal! The service was great, the food came out piping hot and was terrific! The bathrooms were clean and the prices were really reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

My wife and I love having breakfast together, and my go to, is always Michael D's. The food is amazing (always), and the service is next to none. We go to this restaurant as much as we do, for the service of a lady named Pam. Pam is the most friendly, and personable server I have ever had, and she always remembers us, and asks us about things that she remembers, and we have forgotten, and that is the sign of great service! Thank you to everyone at Michael D's for the great food, and better service! read more

Don't miss this place when you drive through Idaho. Michael D is at the door. Ask him to put you in Betinna's section. She is a delightful lady. Irish scramble is the best. Salmon Benedict is stellar. They have a killer Mimosa. Great find just off the freeway. read more

The food is always great here and they are masked up, including the kitchen. The habanero burger was delicious.

Great food and service. People in my party really enjoyed the corn beef breakfast, eggs Benedict, and I got the aspiring omelet. The side potatoes were really good as well. Hot chocolates comes with whipped cream and sprinkles There is plenty of parking. The only weird thing was that it's right next to a cemetery so that was our view for breakfast lol would definitely recommend this place for breakfast! read more

Great for breakfast. Our kids love the pancakes. I always enjoy a courageous omelette with smoked salmon (when available) and a side of biscuits and gravy. Also try their sake mimosa or Irish cream coffee. read more

I had stayed with a friend in Spokane and he wanted to show me Coeur d'Alene so as I was departing for home he followed in his truck with the dogs. As we chatted up the locals at a nearby dog park I found Michael D's on Yelp. A man at the park confirmed my find as a special place and for sure I can say it is. When a restaurant puts together meals like this you must support their efforts by going...eating and tipping big. My buddy had a bloody mary along with Eggs, house sausage and an old school malted waffle. I enjoyed the Paleo Pancakes w eggs and the huge ham steak. The staff were as great as the meal and the rustic charm of the building works in this mountain setting. Afterward I saw American Bald Eagles fishing in the lake nearby. Breathtaking place Coeur d'Alene. read more

I absolutely love this place for breakfast. We always get the bagel Florentine and it is so delicious. The rosemary potatoes are incredible and all the waitresses are so sweet and attentive. Whenever I bring my daughter they bring her out hot cocoa with a ton of whipped cream and sprinkles...she loves it! We've been coming to Michael D's over 10 years now. read more

You know you stumbled upon a great place when there are locals spilling out the door on a lazy Saturday morning. A late lazy Saturday morning at that. This small looking, but rather large inside breakfast spot in Coeur d' Alene does everything right. From the friendly service to the warm atmosphere to the tasty, tasty food. I'm not one for waiting for a table in a crowd of people, but the locals in Coeur d' Alene are some of the nicest people I have ever met and the experience at this restaurant was absolutely worth it. We each had a yummy omelet, cooked to perfection. The portions are large, we could have got away with splitting breakfast, but when you are on vacation, you might as well enjoy the tasty food. The staff was friendly and seemed thrive on the busy atmosphere. Smiles were abundant. So were the coffee refills. Despite how busy it was, we didn't feel rushed and had a great breakfast experience. read more

Fantastic experience! Food was great, server was even better (sorry I don't remember her name but a red head with a clover leaf tattoo). I had the Irish Scramble and my friend the Paleo Pancakes (recommended by our server as we never would have ordered it otherwise). Both were great and super surprised about the Paleo. read more

Staff was super nice! We are from out of town so she was telling us about spots to go check out. The food was incredible! We got biscuits n gravy bacon n eggs and pancakes with fruit. Everything was delicious and perfect! Highly recommend! read more

Love love love this place! Food is GREAT and waitresses are fast and know their menu. I was impressed that she took our order and didn't write anything down. And, of course, I always want changes to what's on the menu. She ROCKED!!! My sad only little tiny regret is that the breakfast potatoes which I dearly love have changed. Tarragon (??) gone?? Dunno but asked waitresses and she said they are using a new vendor and many people have commented on the lack there of. Other than that, I'll always come back unless ... more changes to my favorite dishes. Whenever I come for a meal -- it's always consistent, fast and delicious !!! I love me some Michael D's!!!!!! read more

Went in for the first time today after we were turned away from The Breakfast Nook for no food! No wait, the food was delicious, my kids actually cleaned their plates as did my husband. We were bummed that there was no lunch being served today but other than that, no complaints. We will be back to try lunch some other time. read more

Our favorite stop for breakfast in the whole city! You've got to try the Irish Scramble -- ridiculously good.

Our food was delicious!! And the service was great!! We are on vacation here and glad we tried this place!

Summary: Decent established eatery... My experience has been solely with breakfast over a decade. Will remain one of my primary "go-to"s in Coeur Alene for breakfast. BUSY during IronMan. read more
