The food was great and our waitress was friendly and quick to help us. Our breakfast was great, I had the "ADVENTURER" (I THINK) which was an omelette stuffed with mushrooms and tomatoes with swiss cheese. The restaurant was clean and the other customers looked happy as well chatting and eating their yummy grub too~. read more

We ALWAYS stop at this joint when passing through. The food is so delicious, the service is so delightful, the restaurant is so clean and neat, the bathrooms are so tidy and the staff is so efficient and kind. The best part is they offer gluten free options on their Paleo menu. The Paleo waffles are amazing! The portions are large and filling. The coffee is hot and always topped off. The sausages are meaty and delicious. The eggs are always prepared very well. LOVE THIS JOINT! read more

great food. but this is the only place where you can't have eggs, potatoes, and a waffle or pancake in a combo like every other breakfasts place. unless you order 2 meals you can't have both. gimme a break. so decide before you come here if your eating eggs or pancakes. you can't have both !!! read more

We went here after a night shift and we were so thankful they were Open on Easter for breakfast! They had a mimosa special and 4 other flavors. I had the cheesesteak scramble that was on special and the rest of the crew had omelettes. Every plate was cleaned! Our waitress was so friendly and flighty in the most fun way. It's cozy inside and it looks like there is a wait if you don't get there early. I took home some zucchini bread because my waitress recommended it... I was thankful later that afternoon when I got to enjoy it again. Great breakfast spot. I will be returning soon to fill my punch card!!! read more

Absolutely phenomenal service for a walk-in party of 16! Amazing food, seamless service, and oh so friendly. Thank you!

Hearty portions! The meat omelette is my favorite & their pancakes! The mimosas are a fun addition to your breakfast! read more

Always consistently good. Nice friendly staff. Menu has great variety. Getting too popular for the last 20 years or so!

We have been searching for the best Chicken Fried Steak in the area and have finally found it! The gravy has generous chunks of sausage and a nice peppery spice to it (the way it should be!). The portion was huge and everything was freshly homemade. We are beyond thrilled we finally tried Michael D's and know we will be back regularly as our choice for CFS in North Idaho! read more

Amazing food, all staff is friendly and accommodating!! Oh and you must try their Irish breakfast scramble...it will leave your mouth in AWE :) read more

I feel like one of the most important parts of being ranked as a 5-star establishment is consistency. And Michael D's is consistently solid across the board. The food is great, the service is great and the customer experience is great. CDA has a lot of competition in the breakfast market and Michael D's more than holds its own. There is plenty of parking and wait times have been reasonable even when it's busy. I've enjoyed every meal I've had there and plan to return. If you haven't been, I strongly suggest you check it out. read more

Yummy food, excellent service, and a classic diner atmosphere. I can see why there's always a line out the door. Will definitely be back!

The food was delicious as always. The service & the delightful servers are outstanding. We enjoy our visits each time we go which is frequently. Everyone makes us feel welcome from the greeter to the server whoever we get. Thank you Michael for your hard work in providing such a lovely eating experience. read more

Biscuits and gravy are one of the best around. Friendly service from the moment we arrived, food arrived quick, hot, and great portions. Definitely will be back. Prices were comparable. read more

Had breakfast on a Saturday morning. It was good. Service was great and the vibe is super cool old school cabin. Loved that!

One of the best service experiences I have ever had! Food was amazing! A must for those visiting who want a great breakfast! Our server, Shelby, was top notch! Made great recommendations and ensured we had an amazing experience! Thank you!!! read more

Friend of mine Tim Smith recommended this place as he knows the owners. Food was amazing! Highly recommend!!

Lots of breakfast options, many are vegetarian friendly. I ordered Pasquale's Scramble: eggs with cucumber, tomatoes and cheese. Served with potatoes and I chose the sourdough toast, which was truly excellent. The scramble was surprisingly light. The eggs were cooked just right. For black tea, they served Stash, which is neither the worst nor the best choice. Overall, very good. read more

I love Michael D's I absolutely love this place. I had the courageous omelet with Cajun sausage and the Paleo pancakes the sauce that comes with the courageous omelet very spicy great flavor. My wife had eggs and cajun sausage with biscuits and gravy she said Cajun sausage was very flavorful the eggs were very fluffy because they were scrambled in the biscuits and gravy tasted fresh and homemade. read more

Best in CDA. For breakfast or lunch you won't do better. The parking lot says it all. You may wait a few minutes but it is well worth it. The warmth of the staff and quality of the food makes Michael D's our go to. We are treated as family here and know the staff by name. Most have been here for many years. We're even graced by a second generation server. Top shelf in my book. Thank you Michael D's. read more

This breakfast was soo good. We were beyond full by the time we were done. The strawberry mimosas were soo good. I had a chocolate chip pancake and a blueberry one and they were fabulous. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

We love this spot. The staff is always so fun and the food is straight-up diner food at it's best! It's amazing! The Zucchini bread is next level. Michael has done an amazing job with this spot and it's always packed! Love it! read more

Amazing breakfast with great selections to choose from. Lunch looked good as well, but haven't tried it yet.

Amazing place to eat and amazing local breakfast joint. I always enjoy getting together with family and enjoying the benedict! So good!

Great food. Had the Joe's special, zucchini bread and coffee. Pam is a amazing server, she was very attentive and super friendly. I will be back! read more

We came here to eat for breakfast today after my little girl's gymnastics. Friendly waitress and hostess. I can't remember what we ordered but all the food we ordered were delicious! Must try. read more

Mediocre. Things weren't bad, they were just kind of flavorless. Bacon was good quality and thick. Zucchini bread was OK. French toast was bland. Pesto in the Benedict doesn't pop. Maybe not mix it in the hollandaise so it's more concentrated. Potatoes were good. read more

UPDATE: Changed back to a 5! Everything is back to normal, delicious as ever. :) We love this place! This has been one of our favorite breakfast spots for years! The food and service are typically both great. Recently, the food quality has gone down a bit which is a bummer, but I'm hoping this is temporary. They've made some disappointing changes (like using frozen cubed potatoes instead of they're previous potatoes that were AMAZING.) I'm hoping that they were just forced to cut corners temporarily and will soon return with the great food we've always loved. Michael D's, if you're reading this, we love your restaurant and hope there's just been a hiccup lately. Also - please bring back your potatoes!! This has been a conversation topic among locals! :) read more

Excellent breakfast and service was wonderful :) The place was unfortunately cramped and loud which made trying to enjoy our breakfast a little difficult, but to be fair it was a very busy morning and staff did the best they could to make our experience pleasant so it's both a forgivable and understandable situation. I would highly recommend giving this establishment a chance if you haven't yet. read more

We really like Michael D's. Great breakfast place. I would highly recommend trying a cinnamon roll and a biscuit. Sausage is also very tasty. Pancakes and potatoes are good, but not their strongest parts. Prices are pretty good but I have one thing that I do not like which you can see below. This place can be packed but we have gotten in reasonably quickly and have always had great service. I debated between 4* and 5* for a little bit, but eventually decided to give 4* for a couple reasons. The first one is just a pet peeve of mine, expensive pancakes. Pancakes cost $7 for two cakes here. Pancakes cost about 25 cents to make, so it annoys me when they are just as expensive as a 2 egg combo. The second is there is no meal that has pancakes, eggs, potatoes and meat in one meal. I understand that is a lot of food, and not everyone wants all of those things, but most places have at least one option to get a big breakfast like that. However, the food is very good and I love the atmosphere. Laid back, casual breakfast place. Log cabin-ish feel (which I love) and it makes me think of summer. We will be coming back to MD's for sure! read more

This is an old school restaurant that deserves 5 stars. Nothing fancy here just great home cooking! We had a group of seven and everyone was more than pleased with their meal. Service was also spot on especially for our large group. We are moving to the area soon and we will definitely make this a regular breakfast stop for us. read more

This restaurant is very old and outdated. Its very noisy and crowded and the tables are positioned too close together, it feels like you're sharing a table with strangers. The food is "Meh" and the menu leaves a lot to be desired and is very limited to breakfast and only a couple of boring lunch items. You wouldn't be able to visit this place regularly or you would quickly tire of the same old food at each visit. read more

Found this gem on a road trip from Seattle to Chicago. Bettina was my server. Awesome customer service!!! Ordered eggs and toast and it was so Special!!! Do t miss this little spot if you're in the area!!!! Thank you Bettina for making my day! read more

Service started out great we were seated quickly waitress gave us ice water we asked for straws and she ignored us. Then when we were waiting to order the waitress skipped us and went to the next table who came in after us. the waitress continued to ignore us. we got up and left bad manners bad waitress. Do not recommend going here if your a minority because racism is real in northern Idwho read more

Great place for breakfast/brunch! Big portions and friendly service! We ordered food to go and they were more than generous with their take home portions also!! Would definitely go there again when we are in town! read more

Michael D's, Michael D's, and.....Michael D's, Wow! I am a breakfast fan, no really, a huge breakfast fan! I wanted to be sure I had ate at MD's a few times before I wrote the review. Now, I find it hard to eat at other breakfast places. First off, the place is super easy to find, great parking, and the interior is comfortable and roomy. The staff is super friendly, and very attentive. Last time I was there I saw the fellow who's picture is illustrated on the coffee mug, and I am guessing by the matching mustache and glasses, it was Michael D. If not, man it was a close match. On to the FOOD! The cowboy potatoes are royal, every time I have had them they are cooked perfect, and consistency is dead on! I have had a scramble, and multiple omelettes, and every single one was cooked perfect. Fresh ingredients are definitely key at this place. Coffee is great, ohh and my wife raves about the zucchini bread. The only small side note is they don't have hash browns. Only reason I mention this is because my younger kids won't eat the country potatoes (weirdos), they want hash browns. Ohh well, thats the kids problem! In my opinion, Michael D's is probably the best breakfast joint in Coeur d'Alene area. I will admit I have a few more to try, but its gonna be hard to beat them out. read more

Totally worth the wait! I had Pasquale's scramble with homemade zucchini bread. Coffee was also top notch. Great service too! I could eat breakfast here every day and never get tired of the menu. Next time I'll definitely have the Margarita Benedict. Or the Paleo waffle. Or the Aspiring Omelette. Or .., read more

Wife's coworker recommended Michael D's. Tuesday at 10:30. Couldn't hear myself think. Wife's coffee came with a complementary hair. Silverware was kinda clean. My poached eggs, corned beef and potatoes were disappointing. Corned beef was delicious. Eggs (their soft and my soft are different) , the potatoes were disappointing, very disappointing. Wife's omelette was also disappointing... she ate 5 or 6 bites. Zucchini bread was excellent. $38.00 There are 15 other places I can go to.... read more
