Good diner style breakfast. Good coffee. Good quick service. My wife and I will be back many more times.

Ok, tried this place again for breakfast. It was the closest besides going to Dennys and they do give you large portions. It broke my heart last time to feel so awful with buyers remorse. They did me dirty last time. But decided to try there breakfast. 2 stars. Hot and delicious. I ordered the Country Fried Steak like I always do and it was good. Ok, Then again you can't go wrong with Breakfast. There dinners are scary. Im nervous with this place. I don't understand throwing processed Kraft cheese slices on a almost $13 meal. It devalues the meal. I'll try this place again...and will be sure to ask more questions. read more

It was a nice cute little place. It wasn't busy at all we ordered ribeyes unfortunately our food was cold, for not being busy we couldn't understand why it was cold. Also to start we order salads and they gave use some macaroni shrimp salad as well and we found a hair in it! So they gave use new salads but at the end of our meal they didn't offer to take a percentage off our bill or comp one of our meals all we got was I'm sorry guys. We didn't even get a manager to come talk to use and apologize. Also the service was subpar. read more

The food here is always consistent and good. Do not come here if you want a fancy brunch or mimosa and Bloody Mary. This is a classic home style not worried about calories restaurant with classic American food and servers that are always kind and fast to help. read more

wow, I cannot believe this is a Breakfast ICON. It should have been closed years ago. I guess if you like fake cheese and greasy food, this is the place for you. I will not be going back. Those that gave 5 stars should really get out more, and to better places for breakfast. read more

How can you not love Middle Mining Cafe? Tasty home cooked meals, this is code for huge portions! I had the chicken fried steak dinner. It came with salad, macaroni salad, french fries, corn and a scone. The gravy on the chicken fried steak was awesome, it tasted like bacon....mmmmmm, bacon. The service was very good, waitress checked back on us a number of times, gave refills on coffee. The coffee was very tasty, not sure what they are brewing, but it was good. The other people in my party had prime rib. They loved it. Is Midvale Mining Cafe a spot for foodies? Maybe not. You want a solid American diner? This is the place. read more

Good enough. The scones were yummy, but I would ask for regular butter next time. We asked for the hashbrowns scattered or cooked through and as you see they were underdone. Everywhere we go, they are all serving hashbrowns like this now. Doesn't anyone know how to properly cook hashbrowns any more? I had biscuits and gravy with sausage. The sausage was good, biscuits and gravy could have been better. Clean place, fast, friendly service. Classic diner. read more

My son and his girlfriend flew to SLC from a weekend in Las Vegas and the SuperBowl on big TV's in a casino. I offered to pick them up at the airport and then take them out to his mother's house where they had left her car, and they could drive back home to Rock Springs. Is that a long enough story? The wanted to eat before they started the trip back so we went to this place (oddly enough, the 2nd time in about 60 days.) The first time was OK, if a little meh! This time, my order was just greasy as hell, The Jigger (Bacon, lettuce, and tomato, toasted) and the fries felt like they had been cooked a while before. His girlfriend had an omelet and she said it was OK but I guess it was the same thing she had before and she didn't care much for it. Really greasy and the gravy looked kind of really greasy. I've lived in the south end of the valley on and off for years but had never tried this place. I probably won't go again unless someone else is paying. read more

If you like average at best food for a high price and being nickeled and dimed for everything this is your place! They charge extra for everything. Oh you want real cheddar cheese with your omelette, that's an extra $1 unless you like processed Kraft American cheese on top of the $10 they are already charging you. A literal measuring cup of orange juice is $4. Oh and sharing a plate with someone is $1.50 extra. This place is a joke put nicely read more

Eh it was ok. Our server was super sweet and they were extremely busy on a Sunday morning. We all got coffee and our breakfast came pretty fast. However, we never got a refill on coffee until we we're completely done with our food... kind of a bummer but given they were busy I'll let it slide. My husband had their everything omelet. Let's just say he was not impressed.. at all. He said he won't go back. I had the old timer breakfast and I LOVED it. The pancakes were fluffy and the eggs were a perfect texture for scrambled. Their bacon was HUGE! The coffee was mediocre and kind of watered down compared to your normal breakfast joint. Overall it was a medium experience. I felt it was overpriced for the quality of food with the amount that you get but I did enjoy my pancakes. read more

What can I say racism is strong here. Walked in noticed please wait to be seated sign. Waited 5 minutes. A blonde waitress comes up and grabs the white gentleman men behind us. Totally ignoring us. The gentleman that where behind us gladly went before us. Even after I called them out. I'd say if you are a mixed couple don't bother going here. Not sure how this place has so many positive reviews. Must be the area... read more

A very nice, cozy place to have some comfort food. My husband loved the beef barley soup and I had a delicious club sandwich. We had exactly the comfort food experience that we had hoped to find. read more

Good Restaurant with home cooking had their special prime rib and baked potatoes Fantastic food

Total small town diner feel in his restaurant loved the food. Service was great. You could tell the older folks were regulars and I just loved it! Great prices too! I did 4 star cause it isn't a fancy establishment but I'd say 5 for a local fave. read more

Great place for some comfort food no matter what time of day. They also have a long counter in front if you're eating alone. Love their French toast combo more than anything. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

Cute little cafe. It's definitely catered to a much older crowd. I'm in my thirties and I felt like the youngest one there haha. I got the hash browns covered in red Chile verde and it was super delicious however when it comes to presentation, well it just looked like dog food. (Lost my picture to post sorry!) Large portions so you could definitely share a meal if that's your thing. All in all, not bad. read more

Expected a neat historical diner. Got trashy place with very poor quality food. I got breakfast which was essentially a pile of nearly tasteless hash browns nearly burnt on the outside and nearly raw in the middle, low quality sausage, mediocre pancakes, and some serious concerns of food poisoning. Just proof that longevity is not s solid indicator of success. read more

Nice people...slow service...a lot of food but not a lot of flavor...I had high hopes but was disappointed.

Was ignored for 5 minutes waiting to be seated, made eye contact with all 4 waitresses gossiping in the back during the wait. Finally one of them approaches the front but then ignores us and grabs the white guys behind us. Great place to eat if you're white, otherwise prepare to be treated like filth. read more

Party of eight on a Saturday morning... was seated immediately and immediately started the drink orders as soon as we sat. All drinks were brought promptly and ordering of food was started. Fairly large order on a busy Saturday morning, including a special request for hard boiled eggs on one of the orders. Food was brought out in a timely manner. One plate had a steak - cooked to perfection and the hard boiled eggs were surprisingly perfect as well ~ no green yolk, and not undercooked. I had the Chile Verde Burrito which was something I've never had before. Delicious, though I couldn't eat it all. Portion sizes are very generous. You should order at least one scone, if you've never tried one before. But do be careful considering the portions of the food on the plate, plus the size of the scone - you're going to leave full. Delicious!! Perfect!! Great Service!! read more

Midvale mining cafe is AWESOME! Super happy with their service and I swear when you walk in you can't just help but smile, every one is so kind! I go with my grandpa and father and we always enjoy! read more

I am ONLY giving this place one star because there is no way to give negative stars. While we are visiting SLC, my husband, son, and I decided to try this restaurant. We waited several minutes for someone to come seat us, and watched a few employees look at us, then continue what they were doing. No one acknowledged us. Eventually, someone came and sat us, then someone else brought 3 waters and said, "is water ok?" And placed the waters on the table, then walked away. Meanwhile, they also sat two other parties after us, and those parties were welcomed quickly and their drinks were ordered and brought. OBVIOUSLY, they did not want our business, so we got up and walked away. read more

These guys deserve a nod. For a Cafe, these guys have great food, and their scones are icing on the cake. Every time i'm in town skiing or just visit family, they've never let me down, good inexpensive reasonable food, a great service read more

I have came here for years and have always enjoyed the food and friendly service. This morning however I was very disappointed and left with a bad taste and cold take out. I order 2 of the exact same meal, i started my order with 2 order of... And repeated on "both" multiple times through out my order. When I arrived to pick it up the bill seemed to low. When I questioned if it was for my order the hostess responded with I only have 1. I was then rang up for 2 as requested when asked how long she said 10-15 min. I asked if they would remake the first order so it wouldn't be cold she then rolled her eyes and said "No I only heard one!" 5 minutes later she tossed me a bag of cold food and refused to make eye contact. I understand mistakes but the rudeness of this young lady is what is the most upsetting. read more

This place is awesome for breakfast items. I had the Chicken Fried Steak and Egg white with Hash browns. It was tasty. Chicken fried steak was soft in the center and Crispy on the outside smothered with country gravy. Pancakes were soft and fluffy but light at the same time. So if you ever in Utah. This is a good place to have a commercial home cook style breakfast. Aloha read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE MMC...I've eaten there for over 20 years and it's NEVER disappointing....it's FANTASTIC. More food than you can eat and it's done to perfection...the prime rib is to die for....all the salad dressings are very good and the scones and fresh veggies are amazing. I have not found a better restaurant for prime rib and chicken fried steak anywhere in Utah for any price...TRY IT! YOU'LL LIKE IT! read more

They have the best prime rib in town at awesome prices and the service is excellent the people are friendly and care about you!

We've been to several restaurants and after a while they've disappointed us because of the service, the food, and cleanliness. We started coming to this place because the food is great, the staff is friendly, the waiting isn't long, and the service is good. When we call in our order to be picked up it's ready in 10-15 minutes. My husband is a big man and he likes the amount of food he gets. The portions are big and the price is reasonable. This is where we go on weekends and we love it here. I love their French toast and also their oatmeal. read more

There is Ample parking, it's right off I15 so it's easy to get to. The food is great, and the serving portions are pretty decent. Fairly priced, and the service was great. It is an older place, it's a bit small and it was a bit dark inside. But it was clean, just needs a little update. Overall it's a great little breakfast spot so I would go back. read more

Terrible, the "chili verde" was red(seriously verde literally means green people) and tasted like it came out of can. It was covered with an excessive amount of what looked like cheap american shredded cheese. Again hash brows tasted like they came out of a bag from walmart, mushy and overcooked Coffee was like brown colored water Service was marginal at best, I ordered a scone(fried bread) half way through the meal after giving up on the verde and it didn't come out until we were walking out the door to leave.....major lack of communication between servers and kitchen. read more

Had breakfast here today, and the food was dowright abysmal. I had the steak and egg special with a side of Biscuits and gravy. I asked for the steak medium rare, got it well done. It was tough, chewy, and flavorless - kind of tasted like chewing on a shoe. The biscuits were soggy and crustless, and tasted like they got warmed up in the microwave. I'd rather eat biscuits from McDonald's. The gravy was another travesty. Thin and flavorless, a wave of sadness washed over me as I dipped my soggy biscuit in it. I ended up leaving hungry because I couldn't stomach finishing my food. I don't think I'd wish this breakfast on my worst enemy. The only good part of the experience was the staff - they were really nice and friendly and the gross food came out blazing fast! read more

Great food great service. It requires 59 more characters so just know that it was good

The portions are generous, but the rest of the breakfast experience was crummy on a Sunday morning. Slow, surly service. The OJ is from concentrate, not fresh-squeezed. The pancakes are rubbery. The biscuits are stale and the gravy is watery (as is the coffee) . Perhaps I just felt out of place because I was the only male under 60 not wearing a mullet. read more

Best place to bring guests for some wholesome food. Favorite meals are breakfast gotta try the salmon swiss omelet...best salmon in town. read more

Maybe we just came on a bad day, but I don't get why this place has so many good reviews. I ordered the "South of the Border", which, according to the menu, was supposed to be chili verde over hash browns. However, the chili has a red base, which I don't quite understand. The food overall was still halfway decent, but nothing spectacular. The hash browns were your standard frozen shredded potatoes. The service was just okay. The worst part of the meal by far was the coffee. It tasted like a two-day old pot that was reheated over and over again. There are many better breakfast places around town for the price. read more

Breakfast early-ish on Saturday was pretty good. Of any visit here, though, this was probably the least attentive service wise. I chalk it up to the fact we were sat in the north west end, a separate room from everyone else and were sort of ignored. Coffee is good. Hot. Fresh. They have the little cups of half and half and other non-dairy creamers. Sometimes these can go bad, but they seemed ok. Meals are great - eggs were to order. Bacon was thick and tasty. Potatoes are hash browns and cooked perfectly (not burned, not raw). The menu has quirky little names for all the meals that have to do with mining. Nothing about "Black Lung Burger" or "Miner's Lung Meatloaf" though. So they're already classier than I am (which is a plus, I guess). Prior visits have had chicken fried steak (amazing, but I fear the calorie count between the large beef patty, the breading, and the great gravy, oh....that gravy, that lovely, savory, creamy gravy....) pork chops (quality pork, thick, well cooked) and pancakes. No disappointments on food or prices. They boast the Utah version of scones (fried bread dough - meh, fried bread is fried bread) and have excellent biscuits. The service in the back room, though, was slow, we waited awhile to be looked after but she was nice enough in the end. Not bad enough to avoid this place, just try to avoid being stuck back there in their forget-em room. read more

Saturday morning hunger cure? This truly is the place to satisfy your breakfast craving!! With plenty of food and great tasting this place will fill your belly with food you will keep coming back for. The Golden Nugget and their Chili Verde is fantastic! I enjoy this place and love the servcie. The staff is friendly and helpful! read more

For me, great service and good food has more of an impact than a fancy or 'cool' hangout; Midvale Mining Cafe always leaves me satisfied and happy! Please don't be stuck up here (it's a greasy spoon restaurant), everyone who works here is great and I love that a lot of the staff has 5+ years working here. I love that I've seen some of the kids grow up over the years, and they've also watched my son grow throughout our visits in the years, they make us always feel so welcomed here! Truly, I get some of the best service at this place, and it's one of my favorite places for a late breakfast! The service is great, everyone is professional, yet kind and warm; support your local community by eating at places like these! The portions are fairly large, and the prices are pretty cheap. The food isn't the best, but it's good; they are happy to accommodate special orders, too! They service breakfast daily until 2pm. If you like unhealthy and friend foods, or your hash browns extra crispy, they will make you happy! If you ask for crispy hash, they deep fry them for you, and they come out like little french fries, so good! :) read more

I had their version of the everything omelet. Very tasty and satisfying. This joint is always busy and it is in a convenient location near two major interstate freeways. I include them on my regular to eat at list in my head. kudos! read more
