Michael's Cafe — Restaurant in Cathedral City

So I have gone to Michael's cafe plenty of time most times I enjoy it the staff is friendly and the food is good but I went in today ordered a BLT which comes with a pickle after being half way done with my sandwich I notice something in my pickle THERE WAS SOMETHING MOVING IN IT!!!! I told my waitress and she was just like oh I'm not sure how that happened and gave us our check went to pay and told the hostess about the incident and asked for them to at the least remove the BLT off of our check and she did but when she hands me the check she says in a VERY sarcastic tone here is that better for you....uuuummm are you serious there was something moving in our freaken pickle the whole check should've been comped. ..but what I said to her in the same tone was yes that's much better thanks! NEVER GOING...

This place was recommended by our friends who live in Cathedral City for breakfast. We are glad to have come here - probably one of the best road trip breakfasts we've had ever.

There is a lot of food to choose from, including omelletes, sandwiches, salads, pancakes, and deli food like chicken salad or tuna salad.

My husband got the Breakfast special #5, which has 2 eggs any style, hash browns, 2 sausages and toast.

I got the California chicken sandwich which has grilled chicken on a bun (I substituted for sourdough bread), with bacon, avocado, onions, tomato and lettuce, and a side (I got cole slaw).

The atmosphere is old school diner with the diner counter in the center of the room. Parking is super easy.

The service is fantastic. Friendly and calm.

The price is very reasonable. Would...

UPDATE: Prices here have virtually doubled since they closed in the summer and then reopened. Including a $3 charge for hot water! Nah.......skip this place.

Very disappointed in our BLT sandwiches we had here on Thurs. It was missing the BACON as there were only 2 pieces! There was a giant wedge of lettuce and an overripe tomato. No mayo. on it, that came on the side. I thought the mayo. was for the non-homemade fries........so the sandwich was dry until I realized why. Basically it was a lettuce sandwich!

Coke was fine. Service was good, clean place. Just not the food I was expecting to get nor that I had heard good things about.

If you come here - skip the BLT. It's a giant waste of money at $12.95. Wish I could get...
