I came here with my friend Jenny Massad for breakfast Sunday morning a week before Christmas. I enjoyed PERFECT over-medium eggs with my crispy bacon while Jenny had savory country ham alongside her fluffy omelette. THE COFFEE WAS EXCELLENT! I understand lunch is pretty good too, especially the chicken tenders. From what I see, it looks like a great spot to grab a meat and two veg kind of deal. Simple, tasty breakfast and great service at a reasonable price. Recommend! read more

Back in the area, I visited Miki's. There was no one in the restaurant on this Monday afternoon. I ordered crab cakes from the special menu. For my sides, I ordered yams and stewed apples because I don't get to have these comfort foods often enough. My order was to go. I ate as soon as I arrived home. Let me tell you, the food warmed my soul. The crab cakes could have been crisped on the outside, but they were outstanding and well-flavored--the yams, ah, divine. The stewed apples were great as well. I was very pleased with this home-cooked meal and will definitely return to Miki's when I am in the area. read more

The outside of the business does not do it justice. We stumbled upon Mickey's one day while looking for something else, and it was one of the best hidden gems imaginable. My friends and I go at least once a week. The food is amazing. I always get the chicken fried chicken with macaroni and cheese. They have the best macaroni and cheese I've had since my grandma used to make it. In fact I have bought an entire pan to bring to holiday gatherings and it's always a big hit. The owner is incredibly friendly and speaks to most of the patrons as they enter the restaurant. I highly suggest getting to know him, he has lots of very interesting stories. I can't tell you how much I love this place! read more

Was over at Matthews Festival around dinner time today and got a to-go dinner from Miki's. I had eaten breakfast here many times and always liked it, so I thought I'd try dinner. Got the lasagna special, with garlic bread, and side salad. Very good. read more

Great variety of food. Service is always quick and courteous. I usually get the Reuben which is very good. Comes with one side. There's about 15-20 different sides to choose from. This place is a good 'go-to' spot. read more

Service was not the best. Brought wrong side. Meat was tough and could t enjoy the meal. Last visit

Great, hot, fresh, food! Good service, too! The server said the only thing that was not made fresh were the pickled beets! The fried oysters and chicken livers are to die for! Unassuming place, but has been in business for 10 years. Do yourself a favor and give it a try! read more

If you are looking for a family style, meat and veggie plate with great service, this is it!

Well, this was a surprise! I'm from Charlotte but no longer live in the South. I'm in a Southern-adjacent region that likes to claim "Southern-inspired" food on the menus of many restaurants, but they always get the most important thing wrong: there are no veggies anywhere in sight. Putting shrimp and grits on the menu does not a Southern restaurant make. Anyway, I'm digressing... I'm in town to visit family and bemoaned the lack of access to good Southern-style veggies in my current region, so my family had a "hold my beer" moment and brought me to Miki's. We had the chicken-fried chicken with white gravy, and as many veggies as I could shovel down my gullet. The chicken-fried chicken was perfectly fried and moist; the white gravy was exactly what you'd expect; the black-eyed peas, cabbage, and greens were cooked through and seasoned well; the stewed apples, stewed okra and tomatoes, and mashed potatoes and gravy were on point; and the fried squash was piping hot and delicious. This isn't fancy food, there is no pretense; this is solid country-style cooking. The veggies were served in little plastic cafeteria bowls - a requirement as far as I'm concerned - and the service was quick and friendly. Count me in for a trip to Miki's every time I'm back in town. read more

Oh, I could tell you, the manager or owner needs anger management! He tore into a tyrant because of my food was not cooked properly. Literally grab the check from the table crumbled it in his hand said nastily don't come back! read more

Niki's is great for what I would call home cooked meals. I've had 4 different meals there and loved each one.

We discovered this family-run comfort eats joint late Saturday morning purely by chance, finding a long line at Breuggers. What a nice find! Although too late for breakfast, our lunch was superb starting with the homemade piping hot macaroni and cheese. The corn beef and cabbage was delicious, with thinly sliced lean meat and perfectly steamed cabbage. The country style steak was tender and tasty as were the other sides lima beans, green beans and collards. Yeast rolls or corn bread rounds things out but were just okay. The lack of real butter was disappointing. Service was friendly and attentive. The dining room is simply decorated but roomy and comfortable. Sanitation rating was an impressive 97.5. It appeared that, on this day anyway, most of its workers were family members starting with the involved owner who roamed from table to table, checking on customers. Those that enjoy simple Greek-esque diners that serve up fresh comfort food in large quantities will appreciated this place. read more

Went in at 12:30 on Sunday. Was a little odd that they were no longer serving breakfast at that time as it appears to be peak, post-church brunch hour. The menu is limited, but the food is good! read more

Wow! This is a hidden gem and it is worth finding! Simple atmosphere, darn right plain. But, the food was anything but plain! I enjoyed the baked flounder, Mac and cheese, okra and tomatoes, and cornbread and honey. I loved the fact that the Mac and cheese was steaming HOT! Rarely is any dish served this hot. The food was all so yummy. The menu had so many good options, regardless of your fancy. Lots of good comfort food, but a lot of healthy options. Don't waste time! Go do your taste buds a favor! This is my favorite recent find! read more

Got breakfast here but was pleasantly surprised at when looking at the menu. Prices were nice, portion was really nice, and waiter was very attentive to details such as crispiness of fries and such. It had a welcoming vibe with most of the costumers being old timers and I will come back when I'm around the area! read more

Good home style diner food. I would say 3.5 rate. Very nice people. Food is ok , for my taste every needed a bit more seasoning and salt. We picked up to go. Worked out perfectly as we wanted vegetables for dinner but no time to cook that night. I had baked chicken and cabbage and apple sticks. Food just lacked a little salt but it was good. I love apple sticks just like mini apple pies. I enjoyed the cabbage . My husband had Mac and cheese and greens and country style steak and rice. It was ok, he was pleasantly surprised by the Mac and cheese. we will be back because it's perfect for getting veggies and a meat. read more

A great home style lunch or breakfast! Favorite spot to go with the grands! Staff are always friendly and quick!

Best kept secret in Matthews. Good taste home cooked, friendly staff. All at decent price. My love this place.

Fast friendly service. Nice menu, fantastic prices. Never thought I'd say this but "great livermush!" Will be back!

First visit. It's taken me a while to get here. When they first opened it just didn't seem inviting. I had no clue what I wanted to eat so I went to someplace I've never been. It's a very functional place. Menu offered a good selection and they have daily specials. I went with the Chopped Beef Steak with onions and gravy. Fry's and greens plus a corn muffin. The food was at Best was functional. Appearances not very inviting. Meat on plate top with a mix of gravy and onions that looked sort of fake. Hard to explain. It was tasty. The frys were hot but they also had just been reheated. Disappointed. The greens were pretty good. And the muffin was popped into the microwave and was ok. Service was nothing special. Would I eat there again, yes. Am I planning that return trip, no. read more

This place is kind of run down. Service was good but food was just mediocre . Had a club sandwich it was just ok

Not a good first impression. We wanted brunch, but we're only given the lunch menu and were told "that's all there is". We had a hard time deciding. The waitress "joked" and said if we didn't know what we wanted she would kick us out. After we ordered, she said "see, it wasn't that hard" The food was good, good portions, good quality. We felt rushed, she brought the check before we were even half way done. read more
