Bad service, we ordered breakfast with toast, we were served the eggs but I have to asked several times for it. When we finally got the toast food was cold. My husband ordered coffee and he finished his cup and was not offered to get a refill. I will not go back to this restaurant, poor service. read more

Such a great restaurant. Came for breakfast and had a Monte Cristo, then came back for dinner and had the chicken dumpling special. My new favorite place! read more

Great variety! Grilled salmon burger and Smokey Mountain burger was excellent! Truffle fries, beers on tap, great appetizers. The Monte Christo was tasty but a bit too heavy for my taste but everyone else at our table loved it. Staff was very friendly! read more

Heard this place had a killer burger. Was not disappointed. Got the jalepeno burger and it was awesome. Fries were good and not overly salted. The wife got the patty melt and she said it was great. Great service and food. 5 stars read more

This is my first time here, they have a variety of food. Traditional breakfast foods to Korean food. The biscuits and gravy are light but still has the hearty feeling to them. Will definitely come back here when I come to visit on my next trip. read more

Absolutely delicious! We took our 1 year old and everyone enjoyed the food. My husband had the eggs Benedict while I shared the French Toast combo with my daughter. The French toast was one of the best I've ever had and the portions were filling. Both the atmosphere and the team were very welcoming. We're eager to come back and try the lunch menu. read more

Five stars for the very generous and pretty good breakfast deal! 2 eggs, sausage, bacon and French toast for $6.50! Good service! read more

I really want to give them four stars. The staff was friendly, menu was descriptive and our waiter was attentive. But...I got food poisoning. I haven't had food poisoning since eating expired feta cheese years and years ago. I had the corned beef hash skillet and got sick immediately after. Basically spent the rest of the day sick and glued to the bathroom which ultimately sucks. We were only visiting for a couple of days and spent the only whole day we have sick, so I'm really bummed. Sadly, I will not be coming back to this place. Lesson learned. read more

Really like this place for breakfast and lunch. My wife and I ride up for breakfast and get out of the desert heat. Only about 35-45 mins from Palm Desert. Very clean and staff is nice as well. read more

Our favorite place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Great selection of dishes from meaty burgers to smoking hot bulgogi. Must try their sweet potato fries. Friendly staffs and very nice owner. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in on a Monday morning at 11:00 for breakfast. We were served with lunch menus and almost left because we were really in the breakfast mood (thank god we didn't!) The super nice and helpful waitress let us know they were still serving breakfast so we sat back down. I ordered the waffle with eggs and subbed my sausage for hasbrowns my boyfriend ordered the breakfast burrito. We both loved it! The waffle was SO crispy and delightful I wanted to asked them how they did it but then forgot! Ah, oh well we'll have to return soon. ALSO the piano player they had there was so amazing he gave me chills! Friendly staff, great service! A+! read more

I WISH I WOULD HAVE PAID ATTENTION TO ALL THE BAD REVIEWS!! PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS!! Wish I could give zero stars. Sorry not sorry, Mile HIGHWAY ROBBERY Café, but you were the biggest disappointment in all of Idyllwild. Where do I even begin. The poor service? The empty dining room but unusually long wait times to receive food that was mediocre at best? The INSANELY high prices and super small portion sizes? Getting overcharged for an item and not realizing it until you get home? Luckily, I could laugh at the time about the comically bad experience in hindsight or I would still be fuming. Oh, wait, I still am. The ambiance was nice - there was live piano music while we were there. We quickly got seated, and were asked by 3 different people if we wanted anything other than water to drink, which was overwhelming. Unfortunately, they were done serving breakfast by the time we got there, so we had only the lunch/dinner menu to choose from. We ordered the Bibimbop, Oriental Chicken Salad, and Chicken Dumpling Soup. The soup was attractively advertised on the chalk board saying something along the lines of "customer favorite" and "it's back!" like it was a local favorite, so we decided to give it a shot. We probably waited a good 25 minutes for the soup and salad to arrive, which was strange because the restaurant wasn't busy, and because a soup and salad are honestly the easiest things to prepare. I know it was a strangely long wait time for us because after we ordered and were already waiting, a couple was seated behind us, ordered, and received food before we even received our food. The Chicken Dumpling Soup was decent, but a bit of a letdown for all the hype it was given. The taste was ok, but nothing special, and the flavor of the broth wasn't really developed. For the Oriental Chicken Salad, the flavor was there, but that was about it. I wish I would have taken photos of the salad, because the oranges in the salad were inedible. They were cut in large chunks and unpeeled, but the pith was left on. When you aren't able to eat one component of a salad that is composed of 4 items, that is unacceptable. And this salad cost $14.95. We have some unjustified big city, LA, NY, SF prices going on here. The Bibimbop also had good flavor, but for $16.95, there was about 1 oz. of meat in the dish and tons of rice. All filler. After we were done with our meal, we had to wait even longer for the bill. It wasn't brought out until long after they cleared our plates and having to request it be brought out. For the items ordered, I expected the total to be about $38 tops. Can you believe for 3 items, plus a soda, the total was $51? FIFTY ONE DOLLARS. Our bill at super swank and super delicious Ferro was only $38. And the food was actually good. The soup alone cost $13.50. How? Why? When the soup of the day is supposed to cost $5.50 to $8.50. For that price, I could buy specialty ramen in LA loaded with ALL the fixings and still pay less than $13.50. Nothing about this experience justified the price of this meal. Nothing. I want to save others the disappointment. It isn't worth ruining the last day of your Idyllwild visit with a visit to this deceitful establishment. Go literally anywhere else. read more

As we walked in, the delicious smell permeating the restaurant made my mouth water. The menu has an interesting mix of traditional American and Asian dishes. My husband had a tuna melt and fries, and I had the Brussels sprouts appetizer as an entree. Both were delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. We will definitely be back to try more of their food. read more

Best breakfast spot in Idyllwild! We had excellent service, great bottomless coffee, and hearty portions. The breakfast burrito was particularly great. We will definitely be back! read more

We've owned a home in Idyllwild for four years. Why? Why did I wait so long to come here? Mile High Café is absolutely incredible. I had no idea that the restaurant was so lovely or that the food was of such a high level. The ahi on crispy rice was by far the best I have ever had. Our noodle dish was enormous and had beautiful jumbo shrimp in it. The service was so attentive and friendly and we really enjoyed meeting the fabulous couple responsible for this gem. They had live music during dinner. We thought we were going out for a casual nothing night and it ended up being a really special evening. The place was full of locals that we knew and I am pretty sure they think we are idiots for not eating here sooner. Lesson learned. Can't wait to go back and bring friends. read more

Very good spicy pork. Udon noodle broth was very good. Bibimbop was good but needed more spice. Very friendly staff read more

Had a good lunch that hit the spot - reuben and a patty melt with sweet potato fries and onion rings. The food was hot & tasty. We were able to sit outside with our dog and they had a nice big bowl of water. We'll definitely be back! read more

We drove up from Hemet for breakfast and it was a great decision. We ordered Eggs Benedict, and Waffle tray both were very tasty. The hashbrowns were cooked to perfection, a nice golden crust on top but soft in the middle. We sat on the patio and the whole experience made our morning. I highly recommend making the trip. read more

My boyfriend and I were starving and I am so glad he found this place. Delicious food, great service, great atmosphere! I loved every bit! It's the perfect restaurant in beautiful Idyllwild. And they serve your drinks in mason jars, definitely the icing on the cake :D!!! I can not wait to come back! Thank you so much. read more

Our first time here. Totally enjoyed the place. Great staff, friendly, checked back with us frequently to see if we needed anything or to refill coffee/water, etc. Food was hot, fresh and served within 10 minutes of ordering even though they were pretty busy. Breakfast portions were ample. read more

Best food in Idyllwild, hands down! Plus, the family that owns it does most things on the menu from scratch. Jason, Grace, and their mom are awesome people! The chicken on fire is my go to for dinner, or poke bowls when they have them...and their breakfast is all really good! read more

Yakisoba noodles were overcooked. Vegetables were fresh and the shallots delicious. Slightly overpriced.

Had dinner here and everything tasted amazing. They are dog friendly which was a plus for us. Ordered the miso soup and a bacon burger which tasted like heaven. They have a Korean side to their menu which I would love to come back and try. If we're ever in Idyllwild again, I will definitely come back. read more

The atmosphere is good. However the patio was closed when we visited; at 2:30PM. Even though they were closing in less than an hour from the time we visited. I think they should leave the patio open until the rest of the day. We visited for lunch. I had the monte Cristo that was fantastic!!! All in all, it was okay but the hamburgers my family had did not taste like a burger. They said they make them from scratch. I give 3 due to the initial visit reception. She immediately informed us that she was off.... But would take care of us. The monte Cristo and fries are good. Stay away from the hamburgers. read more

We went there in the fall when we visited Idylwild. The food was very good and fresh. Awesome sweet potato fries with their own ranch dressing. I was so inspired I had to make my own ranch dressing when we got home. :) The restaurant is super clean. There is a nice patio where we could sit with our dogs. The service was great. We ate there twice out of our three-day weekend. Hope to come there again :) read more

I love this place! Food is so good! My Cobb salad deliciosos. Every time I came to hike I have to stop in this amazing restaurant. Owner and employees so friendly. read more

Super high quality food and great service! The variety of food is great and it is all delicious! Definitely a place to try while in Idyllwild! read more

We had a terrible experience from the beginning with waitress service and then food came almost an hour late. No one seemed to care about us and operation is terrible. I had never seen the restaurant owner showing such a bad attitude to the customer instead of apologizing. Never never recommended this place especially if you are first time visiting the area. read more

I've been dining at Mile High Cafe for a couple years now, as a "local" I make my best attempt to try other eateries in Idyllwild- but alas, many do not quite measure up to my standard. I always return. I also appreciate the easy access location- at the edge of town and away from heavy traffic. A casual and pleasant atmosphere - I always feel so welcomed by Nam, Jason and Grace.. the "locals" counter is a wonderful place to catch up with some of the loveliest folks that live in and around Idyllwild. Oh the tales! A wide selection of menu items, amazing burger selections, the best Korean dishes on the hill!!! (actually, don't think there are any in IDY) Still working my way through the menu...this will take a while. read more

Just walked out of this place. My family and I were seated before two other tables then those tables were served water bottles and menus while we ignored. totally rude staff. We're taking our money elsewhere read more

Went for breakfast and surprised to have pianist playing...nice! Friend got corned beef hash and eggs and it arrived on hot cast iron plate so stayed warm throughout meal. HUGE chunks of delicious corned beef and large portion! Unfortunately my blueberry pancakes were disappointing. Although scrambled eggs and bacon (crisp!) were hot and good, the pancakes were barely warm, tough to cut (had to saw with knife) and blueberry syrup was ice cold...although great taste with whole berries. Server was extremely accommodating, getting me a fresh order of pancakes and management took half off my meal. Would definitely return! read more

First of all, OUR WAITRESS GRACE WAS THE BEST!! The food was delicious and came out fast and hot! (which is especially impressive because we had a large party.) If I could give 10 stars, I would! read more

Chris and I stopped in early morning this past Wednesday for some breakfast. Great spot. We got our go to breakfast here and enjoyed it. Atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. I can't speak for hubby, but your waffles are a dream. A good size waffle that is light, buttery and most importantly from the first bite to the end stayed crispy/crunchy . That their is my unicorn. A Belgian waffle cooked light, buttery on the inside and on the outside edges ( I've had only a few restaurants in the US offer this) lasting crunchiness. From first bite to the last bite. Thank you for having us. read more

Not sure what was going on at this place. It looked like they were running a day care center in the center of the restaurant. We left as did other guests who were waiting for tables. read more

Fabulous Food. The corned Beef hash with poached eggs is amazing. Service. Smiles all around. Location is awesome

I usually mock the names of places, but this really is a café. Oh yeah, it's also about a mile high in elevation. So often you get the feeling that restaurant owners don't know what good food really is or believe that "it's just food". While eating the food here, I never felt these short-comings. As seen by the care taken to not slop-out another crude plate of food and the addition of home-inspired dishes like galbi, the owner wants to serve food they know is good. Granted, we only tried breakfast, but I'd be game for lunch or dinner. Although I'd be afraid to try their sushi, I would like to come back to try the udon noodles or bibimbap bowl. The huevos rancheros had liquidy beans which might seem unappealing, but it created a messy mixture of good flavors. The galbi & eggs had tender, nicely marinated beef. The eggs on both dishes were cooked to perfectly runny yolks. Even the rye toast wasn't ordinary with a rustically, thick slice. The extra effort to present food the right way does come at a cost. The prices are higher than the basic diner, but the food is also better than a basic diner. read more

Three of us had dinner here and enjoyed it very much. We all chose Asian entrees and they hit the spot after a weekend of local burgers and heavy breakfasts. My husband and I both had the beef bulgoggi which had excellent flavor and was nicely presented on a sizzling platter. Sorry that I did not take a picture of it to post. Our son had a Bento box and thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Then he ordered an apple tart served on a delicious green tea cream with sides of ice cream (pictured). Jason was our server. He was so sweet, very attentive and never let our drinks run dry. read more
