★★★☆☆ 3.0 NICK MENNELL · Dec 2025

“The Sundae Saves the Day (Barely)” Mitchell’s Diner is like that friend who’s incredibly talented but can’t show up on time to save their life. The food? Absolutely stellar. I’m talking comfort food that hugs your soul. And those sundaes? Chef’s kiss. I don’t know if they’re using some kind of ice cream wizardry or if the angels themselves are working the soft-serve machine, but those sundaes could probably broker world peace if given the chance. But then there’s the service. Our waiter had the urgency of a sloth on sedatives. I ordered my meal with such hope and optimism—I was a different person by the time it arrived. My phone died. I read the entire laminated menu. Twice. I considered learning a new language. When I finally flagged someone down for a refill, they looked at me like I’d

Special thank you to our waiter, Alfonso and the staff at Mitchell's. Living over thirty+years and now I visit this diner with one of my daughters. The Deluxe pancakes dish was very ,very good and the coffee tasted like coffee with no additional aftertaste! My daughter had the Deluxe waffles which she enjoyed. Now I need to bring my wife next, the ultimate critic! I will definitely be back to dine at Mitchell's.

Bland bland bland. Ordered the salmon burger that came with a salad and tzatziki. Paid extra for crispy onions. Onions were not crispy like I expected, it was just caramelized onions and some had a normal onion crunch from not being fully caramelized, but it wasn't breaded or anything, or prepared in any way that would indicate crispy. Salmon burger was plain and ultra bland, didn't seem like it was cooked with love, passion, or even any type of house recipe. The “tzatziki” was more akin to a bland sour cream, most lacking “tzatziki” I've ever had so that wasn't going to add any flavor either. Somehow the feta for the salad was also lackluster, and the dressing was what seemed to be tiny pieces of tomatoes and something else in too much oil and vinegar. When I simply tasted the “dressing

Heads up, I'm going into detail here. Mitchell's Diner Restaurant is honestly the best restaurant I been in ever since Covid happened. This place is easily missable while driving by, it's directly across the street from from a church and a wine store. Now as far as parking you have street parking and a free parking lot half a block away across the street. Now inside Mitchell's Diner, it's a very comfortable and cozy atmosphere, you can bring friends or dates here easily. If you want to have a meeting to accommodate a small group they have a location inside along the wall where one can host such event. The restaurant itself can hold up to around 100-140 people here. Now let's discuss the main portion. The food and prices. The prices are quite reasonable you have items ranging from $10- $

I’ve been to this establishment for many years, but I was disappointed in Mitchell’s today. I ordered a Chicken Noodle soup because I was feeling under the weather, and when I received my soup, I found a steel wool pad in my soup! Seeing that in my soup just ruined my appetite completely. Absolutely unacceptable. I expected better from this restaurant.
