    Even though the food is consistently good, the service and prices fluctuate. We ate in the bar at 5pm and did not get happy hour prices. The server made no eye contact and mumbled something each time he passed by our table. Despite these flaws I'll return when the mood strikes.

    Brunch. I ordered Biscuits with Sausage Gravy; big chunks of sausage and no gravy. The biscuits were dry and really needed the moisture from a rich, creamy gravy which I did not receive. It appeared to be a last minute thought, just thrown together without care or attention.
    Michael's CafeResponded on January 24, 2024
    Sorry to hear this. Thank you for your time and your business. We hope to make up for this if given the chance.

    Parking is the only problem but then again we went around the time of the game so that could have been the reason why there was not much parking.
    Michael's CafeResponded on January 24, 2024
    Thank you so much. We do have our satellite parking lot across the side street that is open to all of our guests as well.

    We celebrated my birthday at Michaels and dinner was FANTASTIC! Food was above our expectations and the service was great as well. Our only problem -- it's quiet noisy/loud with various conversations, so if you're looking for a quite place, this is not the one! If you can stand yelling across the table? This is the place to be! LOL!
    Michael's CafeResponded on January 24, 2024
    Happy belated birthday! Think of us anytime for any occasion.

    A friend and I get together usually once a month. For quite a while Michael’s has been our destination for brunch on Sunday. It’s a convenient location for both of us, but, most importantly, we always have an enjoyable time. The food is great, and the servers could not be more accommodating. I give Michael’s an A+!!
    Michael's CafeResponded on January 24, 2024
    Thank you, Susan. This truly means so much.

    Michael’s Cafe in Timonium exceeds expectations again and again! Thank you for the excellent service with waiter Larry. Our menu selections arrived as ordered and courses were paced evenly. Our waters were topped off as needed, drinks were fresh and refreshing. Nothing was overlooked throughout our early evening outing while enjoying a NFL game in the original bar. Each request appeared effortlessly. Thank you Dellis family for continuing to serve the Baltimore area and staying local and relevant.
    Michael's CafeResponded on January 24, 2024
    Glad you enjoyed your time so thoroughly. Thank you for your continued support! We would be nowhere without customers like you and staff like Larry. We will be sure to let him know you appreciate his service.
