We went down to Shaker Square this weekend, and stopped in at Michael's Diner. Michael's is located in the RTA Rapid Transit station on the Square. It's a fairly small place, narrow and long, with big windows looking out on the tracks, so you can see the trains go by. This place is your classic old-school, greasy spoon type of diner. No frills, typical diner menu -- lots of frying going on! And a few shady characters coming in and out, not surprising for that part of town. Seems like it's owned by a Russian family -- hostess, waitresses, manager and cooks all were Russian, and you could tell it was a family operation. When sitting at the counter, the cook is working just a few feet away and you can see everything. Despite being busy, there were plenty of seats at the counter. We could spread out and read the paper and watch the place run. Staff was very friendly, and service was attentive. Cam got chicken and fries since it was noon -- huge plate, maybe the biggest we've seen -- and thought it was great. Ted had his usual breakfast -- they make some good coffee here. All around, the food was excellent. We liked this place -- we'll be back!
Cam says: "Liked the old-time diner atmosphere. Best chicken I've ever had! Very comfortable counter. Have to give this one a perfect 5 frying pans!"
