Eats&Sweets by Michael — Restaurant in Orange City

Absolutely awful service! We decided to try this diner, there was 6 plus my 3 year grand daughter. My daughter ordered the sally burger which was a hamburger, egg, lettuce, tomato, onion, mushrooms. My daughter asked for no pickles and NO mushrooms, the waitress said oh they put the mushrooms on the side so no worries so my daughter said ok and asked for it to be medium well! Our order came out and my daughter’s burger had mushrooms on it! She took them off the burger and bit into the hamburger and it was PINK my daughter was going to try and eat it BUT she just couldn’t! I said something to the waitress about the mushrooms and the pink to burger she said oh I’m sorry we have a new cook and doesn’t know the mushrooms come on the side, and I can take your hamburger back to cook some more!! She takes my daughter’s plate to kitchen and then brings back her plate of onion rings and fries! WOW so now my daughter has to eat her onion rings and fries without her burger!! Oh well she did it because she was hungry. Then the waitress brings out her burger and WOW just wow! The burger literally looks like it was put into the microwave, on the SAME bun she tore apart, No lettuce NO tomato and NO onion as it did when it went into the kitchen! BUT the burger was STILL pink just NOW looking like a piece of rubber ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING. I say something to the waitress and her entire demeanor and her voice gets pissy and says I will remove it from the bill! She originally charged $13.79, $2.99 (soda), $1.59 (onion rings). She brings the bill and she takes off $4.99 (JUST FOR THE BURGER) I go up to the counter I literally touched her arm and said I know it’s not your fault BUT my daughters hamburger was still pink and looked like they put it in the microwave she turns to me and says NO she didn’t I watched her! I then say and your charging her $14 for onion rings and fries when she could NOT eat the signature part of her order the BURGER and she looks at me rolls her eyes and says she ATE the onion rings and fries!!! I said WOW so let me ask you would you have eating that burger if it was YOU and same says yes it was my food I said no you would NOT BUT my daughters hamburger and me are NOT you and nothing for nothing you brought her burger back to her with NO lettuce, NO tomato, NO onion like you took it and you put it back onto the same soggy ass bun now! BUT the burger was STILL pink and NOW had nothing it had when you took it to the kitchen!! She rolled her eyes at me and said yeah she ate the onion rings and fries. I grabbed my change and walked out of this diner saying absolutely horrible service and would NEVER eat here again!! I do not understand how they treat their customers like this and have no remorse and expect there customers to eat RAW meat NOT everyone eats it like that!!! The rest of our food was great and my Cobb salad was amazingly good! I just do not understand how she thought it was ok for this happening :( extremely sad knowing that everything else we got was delicious BUT treating your customers like this is an...

It's very rare when a place truely lives up to its reputation and even more rare when that reputation is exceeded.... by more than expected or what I thought was possible. Breakfast is one of those sacred events to us folk from below the Mason Dixon line and if that holds true, Rhonda's Kitchen is where you'd go for the sacrament. If you think that this review is starting off a little strong, let me put a few things in perspective. I've eaten breakfast from one coast to the other and every state in between them. At places heard about and celebrated, places few have ever seen, and places kept a secret cause... well it what they did, lol. Never had I eaten at a place that so brazenly displayed a love for all of those things and delivered it all with an unseen punch to the palate. You'll see the photo that accompanies this review, so when you ask "What's good there?" and the response is "Everything!" you'll know with unyielding faith that's it's the truth. I haven't even started with the actual Review and I'm not sure how to start.... from the beginning with the "Please Seat Yourself" sign that lets you know that booth seat you're eyeballing is wide open or do I just smash cut right to the heart of it all? I'll start from the end I guess, with a biscuit and a small bowl of sausage gravy that were the only things left not completely devoured by the end, never had I expected this blatantly asymmetrical, obviously handmade, baked good covered in sausage gravy to be the icing on the cake of what was quite possibly the most superfluous and wildly affordable breakfast I've ever eaten. A steak that was tender, and cooked perfectly; eggs that were actually scrambled and cooked on a lower heat; corned beef hash salted absolutely right; bacon that was thick cut and cooked with just the right crunch; sausage links with crisp skin outsides and all the flavors you remember from family Sunday breakfasts you had at grandma's contained within; grits that graciously balanced the line of perfection that so often becomes skewed towards water or paste; golden cooked hash browns; and last but not least the wonderful lady who so patiently brought it all out so I could stuff my face with it, and you better believe that's exactly what I did. Not in 1m years would I be prepared for that biscuit and gravy tho....with all ego removed and a humble heart before you I'm telling you now, no where can you find a better biscuit... any where. If you've read this far, do yourself a favor just go in and see for yourself and tell em John Galt told ya. Best breakfast, hands down, ever! We'll be back again... soon... very soon...Oh!! they got pies and I'm a fatty so you know where the next visit is gonna be centered I around. Until next time y'all, eat...

Walking in it looks like a nice place, the atmosphere is nice. That was where it ended for us. Server was quiet, she was young, wasn't very friendly, just kind of there. She wasn't rude or anything, just no real personable personality. She offered no conversation at all, but she had a lot to say when she was standing around talking to the young guys in the back at the kitchen window. I wouldn't put the reputation of a diner on the shoulders of one young server, from one visit though, I know people have bad days, something could have been on her mind etc, ill give her the benefit of the doubt, my issue was the food. Came out quick, but the reason was probably because there was nothing to the meal. I ordered a mushroom Swiss burger and sweet potato fries. She asked if I wanted the 5oz or 10oz size, I said 10oz. She should have said, do you want the single or double patty, because that's what the difference was. No biggie, but pointing it out. It was $13 for this meal as a single patty. Not to bad I thought, for what you'd normally get at a restaurant, from experience. Maybe the expectations were too high on my side tho. You see in the pic what I got, minus 2 fries my wife tried. The burgers were from frozen, and cheap, when asked I ordered them medium rare, they came well done and dry. One piece of Swiss very well melted like you'd see from a microwave, and a couple canned mushrooms on top, on a normal sized potato bun. Fries were undercooked inside. My grandson also got a burger, a cheese burger, same microwaved cheese, overdone as well, ordered regular fries, and literally got a small child's handful of fries on his plate. I thought my portion was small until I saw his. Again burger overcooked, but fries were at least done. Wife got cheesesteak, she wasn't impressed but it was ok, she also got chili as side, which was a large bowl, and tasted good.

We will not be going here again for awhile, if ever, when my wife mentioned the portion sizes when cashing out the woman smiled and agreed and said she knows and she's sorry but that's what the owner wants portion sizes to be.. pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered, maybe the owner will see one day that portion sizes alone will actually bring in more people, walking out after a $60 bill for 2 adults and a child, with nothing ordered but entree and drinks ($4 each) is a big turn off for me, had the portion been bigger and I'd felt like I had a meal and not a snack maybe it would be different.

What you see in the pic was...
