Reviews of Michael's Restaurant (Restaurant)

David Keppen

First time here and in the area. Staff and patrons were fantastic. Very friendly. Good conversation with the locals. I had the ribeye special. Best ribeye I have had in quite a while. Cooked perfect and huge. Worth the price. Leftover will be breakfast tomorrow.

Douglas Fields

Although slightly pricey, they have wonderful food. I've known the head cook for many many years. She's an absolutely amazing cook, it's a home-cooked buffet style. If you don't stop and give them a try at least once, you're missing out on a great meal.

We've been coming to Michael's twice a year for a couple years now since e heard about it. The food is always really good and staff is super friendly. Had to mark one star off this time because stuffing was severely over seasoned to the point it ruined my meal. I couldn't taste anything but whatever seasoning was in the stuffing for about 3 glasses of water. Other than that, still love this place.

Bonnie A. Hardman

Stopped in to eat after visiting the Mountain Mushroom Festival in Irvine yesterday. The food was amazingly delicious, the place was quite clean and the staff was very friendly. I wouldn't mind the drive from Richmond to Ravenna just to go back and eat there again. We did the buffet, and they had county ham, Salisbury steak, THE BEST cooked catfish that I've ever had and many other sides and desserts available along with a salad bar. 5 BIG Stars from me.

Maggie Johnson

The chicken was amazing and crispy, but the price is a little bit too expensive. Overall it was good.

Tried to charge me a full 14 dollars for my 11 month old to eat a few spoonfuls of mashed potatoes...

Tim Normandin

Whenever I visit KY I love to eat at Michael's. I love the home cooking and topping it off with their butter roll dessert.

Michael Phillips

Good, fresh, home cooking... cleanliness is the order of the day!

Kim Gill

Don't order the hash browns. They're just the Frozen patties and you get one. I was expecting a pile of shredded hash browns. Eggs and tenderloin we're good tho.

S McKinney

Family owned business. The recipes used are handed down to Michael from his mother. She owned and operated the Cedar Village Restaurant in Irvine Kentucky for many years.

Ryan Fortenberry

This was my first visit to Michael's, and I enjoyed it a lot. It's a buffet style restaurant with a home cooked feel. The buffet had a great selection (ribs, fish, chicken liver, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, greens, fried potatoes, etc.). Everything was very good. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend stopping in.

Josh Perry

We eat lunch here a couple Sunday's a month after church. The food is always delicious, and you'd swear that your grandma was in the kitchen because everything tastes homemade. The fish on the buffet is my favorite. They can be quite busy at times, but they have a lot of seats so there isn't much of a wait, if any. I've never actually ordered off the menu, but my in-laws swear they have one of the best steaks you'll ever eat.

Amie Burgher

Good country cooking! The buffet was varied and plentiful. Friendly and attentive service!

Morgan Crutchfield

Wait staff was ok. Food quality was terrible.. everyone claims home cooked. Canned food and over colored peach cobbler is NOT home cooked. WAY over priced for poor quality and quantity in food. $22 for 2 people we couldnt even eat our ONE plate.

We stopped by the Saturday before Thanksgiving and arrived around 4 p.m. There was plenty of seating, but it started to fill up around 5 p.m. The owner came and greeted us and even spent time telling us about his favorite dishes. The staff and the waitress were amazing. Highly recommended for great Kentucky Hometown cooking and comfort food.

Sam Mckinney

Great food and great atmosphere.

Eric Wolfinbarger

Good home style cooking and very clean.

Dave Lester

Great food on the buffet, nice people. Only reason not 5 stars is we had to wait several minutes for an item to be replinised on buffet, 2 times. But other than that it was great, and have already recommend it to friends.

Debbie Sparks

Love Michael's. Very good food and service

Sherree Nations

If you are a local or visit Michaels is a must. Hard to find that quality of food and servise in a small community and maintain the high standards and quality of food. Very large dinning areas as they are packed on Sundays for the buffet. The buffet is served daily as well. Favorites include their hot delicios fried chicken you will crave for more later. Other faves are meatloaf ham turkey fish liver and onions . MICHAEL'S salad bar is always fresh and his lettuce is chopped in smaller pieces it males a delicious meal in itself. Deserts are limited to around 3 but the Butter Roll is a must topped with ice cream. MICHAEL is usually there all the time and is in the dinning room making sure his customers are happy and his standards are met. There is a pickup window for take outs. The last time I ate there a large group of of EKU students ,SPORTS or cheerleading team were having their banquet here they do have a banquet room . You may also place an order for large quantities of chicken for reunions or dinners other items as well. THANK YOU MICHAEL AND ALL YOUR GREAT STAFF. SHERREE

Cathy Mahoney

Wonderful, homestyle foods in a quiet, small town setting. Proprietors, staff and locals were VERY friendly. I will definitely return.

Teresa Hughes

Sorry Michael but you need to work on your food and staff! Our waiter was acted confused the entire meal I just don't think she really cared quite frankly. One of my companions got her food before me and other friend had even ordered! Me and one of my companions had the Special a Ribeye Steak/Baked Potato and Salad Bar. We both ordered the steak medium rare. And we both got steaks that were very well done. The steak was charred/unseasoned and looked like it was cooked on a extremely dirty grill! The waiter did offer to take it back but considering my elderly companions was nearly finished with her meal I didn't want to wait another 20 minutes for new steaks! The restaurant was not busy and there was more than adequate staff. I know because they had pushed 2 tables together and were just sitting there getting up occasionally to look around. But we would actually have to ask for her attention her if we needed something because she wasn't making any effort. Perhaps I just not use to the layed back environment of this small town restaurant. But at those prices I expected more like food cooked to order and a waiter that was actually waited on us without being ask to. I picked up the bill and a tad of food poisoning. The bill was around $60 w/o the tip! The food poisoning I got to keep for 2 days!
