I appreciate the pleasant ambiance that Mitchell’s portrays. There is never a time that I come in and I am not greeted happily by a staff member. I love that I am almost always able to seat myself and that a waitstaff employee is ready for me in no time. I always get my favorite, the classic turkey burger with lettuce, tomato, and cheese, with a side of steak fries - and let me tell you, I have not been disappointed at any point in the last 10 times I came here hahaI will always be back! This is one of my favorite spots in Valley Stream.
We came to this place because it was the only diner in the area that had banana split (based on our Google search). The banana split itself was awesome but the food was just ok. The omelette was overcooked and under-seasoned. The service was great though we had to wait quite a bit for our order to arrive. The one thing that was disappointing was the ‘gratuity charge’ that was already included in the bill. It was like 20% gratuity. It was in the gratuity range but still we’d rather decide ourselves as to how much we’d like to tip. We weren’t even informed about that charge so if we didn’t ask, we could’ve paid double gratuity fees. They also charged the so-called ‘check-out fee’ which we assumed was like a credit card fee but we weren’t sure because we didn’t ask to confirm. So it was a bit of a rip-off. I think it was going to be our first and last experience dining in this restaurant.
The food was amazing. We stopped in several times over our trip. We always had the best wait staff, and the food was always perfect. Their ice cream is great.Next time I am out that way, i plan to return.
Very fast and friendly service, the food was amazing and one of the only times I've gone to a diner with free coffee refills and the coffee doesn't taste like water.The serving sizes were large and well worth their price and I'm so sad that I found this gem of a restaurant a week before moving away from valley stream.If you're looking for a lovely place for breakfast/brunch look no further!I've yet to try their lunch/dinner but I had their Quiche as well as their corned beef hash and Caesar salad. Boyfriend had pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Very yummy 10/10 would go again.Also watching the connection that the waitresses had with some of the customers was so wholesome it made my heart explode.Just hearing one of the servers as she saw a regular and looks at him and goes "Having the usual?"Another was talking to an elderly couple that were on a date and treating them with so much kindness and respect. You don't see that kind of genuine kindness a lot anymore.Amazing that this place has such great relationships with their restaurant goers.
Mitchell's has been an institution in Valley Stream for years. The patty melts are absolutely amazing. The food is great from the burgers to the new Orleans chicken. Service is great and can't beat the prices. The hell with the diners in the area go to Mitchell's
Lisa my waitress (at least I think that’s her name). I’ve had her a few times and every time it’s worse. She’s short with us and rude. Doesn’t know the menu and if forgetful. When she forgets or we ask for something she gets annoyed like it’s our fault. Also we were able to overhear a conversation she was having with another female waitress and she was really harsh and rude. Someone should address this. Once is ok. People have bad days. But several times. Not ok. We’ve had other servers. They were amazing.
Delicious eggs the coffee was a little weak so ask for expresso otherwise perfect for those who don't like coffee there perfect for you I love strong black coffee so personal preference i don't usually order breakfast so I didnt know how weak it is in dinners from what I know of top dinner in the area the coffee you should order it exactly how you want it dont just say black I am a amateur after all at dining.
Average diner. First time and last time. I was charged $24 gratuity for a subpar waitservice and then charged a $5.73 fee for using a credit card. Thank you for dinning in1
Omg what a great place for brunch! First off, it's huge! So there really wasn't a wait. Secondly the servers were so friendly and the menu is also HUGE! SO MANY OPTIONS! I opted for the chicken and waffles and my fiancé had the french toast will eggs. All delicious. I also had a mimosa which was well made. Great portions! Will def re visit.
Good service, good food. My grandkids love it.
