Midvale Mining Cafe & Catering — Restaurant in Midvale

I walked in around 7:30 pm on a Wed. night, it was empty except for one table with two people at it. I was seated and was given a menu and a glass of water which I asked for right away. There were several works laughing and walking around but nobody came to take my order so after another person walked in was seated I left. It felt like nobody noticed me leaving. I think this might be a good place were locals are welcomed more than a single stranger. I would go back when it's crowded, I bet the service would be better. 3/31/25, I went back a month ago and had the salmon. The fish was done perfect and I loved it but the fries were almost cold and the vegies were cold (supposed to be hot). I went back tonight and orded the salmon but explained to the waitress about the cold fries and vegies. This time they were warm but the fish was too over cooked. I could only eat half of the fish. The waitress came by at the end of the meal and asked how everything was, I told her how disappointed I was as I have bragged the salmon up to my friends. She said, "Sorry you were disapppointed" and walked away. With all the other resturants in the area I won't be back. I feel bad because I like family owned cafes like this one. There is a lot of not so good food on the plate so expect to be full one...

Loved the atmosphere. Loved that some have worked there over 20 years. Loved the size of the meals and the great price! Loved the theme and decorations. Now lets keep the rest just as real... Wished my large portion of reasonably priced hashbrowns were cooked in butter. Wished i was wowed by the recipe and flavor of the pancake like i was the size. Wished the waitress wasnt overly confident in a cook that didnt cook my eggs to order. 9.9 of 10 places i go to eat breakfast cannot or will not cook "over hard eggs" "over hard." People, every one out there, over hard eggs are canary or dull yellow all the way through not just the outside! Its not rocket science it just simply is that. Theres not 4 versions of over hard theres one! Now theres over soft but when you use the two words "over hard" its to be cooked that way. I cook them that wsy same time every time and with butter so they are moist and delish but cooked! If a server is gonna say they know how to cook them then they better know how and do just that or be honest about it. NOW I appreciated going there and am going back tmrrw to try more (just not...

For me, great service and good food has more of an impact than a fancy or 'cool' hangout; Midvale Mining Cafe always leaves me satisfied and happy! Please don't be stuck up here (it's a greasy spoon restaurant), everyone who works here is great and I love that a lot of the staff has 5+ years working here. I love that I've seen some of the kids grow up over the years, and they've also watched my son grow throughout our visits in the years, they make us always feel so welcomed here! Truly, I get some of the best service at this place, and it's one of my favorite places for a late breakfast!

The service is great, everyone is professional, yet kind and warm; support your local community by eating at places like these!

The portions are fairly large, and the prices are pretty cheap. The food isn't the best, but it's good; they are happy to accommodate special orders, too! They service breakfast daily until 2pm. If you like unhealthy and friend foods, or your hash browns extra crispy, they will make you happy! If you ask for crispy hash, they deep fry them for you, and they come out like little french...
