    Very pleasant staff and good cafe brunch.... Recommend a stop if you are passing and fancy a coffee, or something to eat..... Oh and the coffee is served hot, none of the luke warm stuff.... served at trendy coffee shops..👍👍

    Driven past this place a million times - and today had the opportunity to enjoy a proper Saturday morning breakfast. Simple set up done well. Swift service, clean and tidy place - with an 80’s vibe - and decent portions. Only criticism would be soft cold toast. But good value at £11 and enjoyable.

    Bought the Minnie's breakfast 10.12.22 for £5.70. Ordered additional 3 bits of toast & 3 tinned tomatoes. Came to £12.00. Politely questioned the lady at the till & was met with instant attitude. Good food, rip you off on any extras & poor handling of a genuine customer query.

    Breakfasts at Mickey's are great. A good traditional fry up, always with friendly service. I've had evening meals as well which are also good. Picture discs hang from the ceiling and fun decor with pictures of actors all over the walls ... a great way to start or end the day!

    Such a great little diner, could even take the dog in which was a lovely bonus. Food was fab, service was good too.

    Lovely place to stop off for a bite to eat. Nice choice in food on the menu. The Staff are very friendly. Mickey's Diner gets quite busy on a Sunday lunchtime, so it's a popular place to eat at. The sat-nav take you to a road round the back of the Diner & Petrol station. Unfortunately you can't get in to either of them from that road. You can only get in from Bluebell Hill main road going away from Maidstone.

    Thoroughly enjoyed a quick dinner here. Think sausage and mash, breakfasts, burgers, jacket potatoes, pies, etc. There's a lot on the menu to cater for different tastes. It was friendly and clean. Loved the memorabilia, old car models, film stars, and vinyl records! Would definitely visit again.

    Very underwhelming. So for starters coffee come hotter than the sun. Service is nice got told to have a seat scrambled egg tastes of nothing even when I've seaned it myself wasn't allowed to change an item (hash browns to chips) you can only add an item the toast was like cardboard mushroom over cooked chips over cooked bean didn't look very fresh 1 piece of beacon and that was tough. £7 30 for breakfast plus £1.10 for chips and £3.10. Bit of a rip off considering I couldn't eat my breakfast. Staff friendly venu clean. Take care I won't be coming back to this one!!

    As a roadside stop this was a surprisingly good place to stop and eat. Spotlessly clean, busy on a late thursday lunchtime all good signs. Service was prompt and friendly, food was plentiful, prepared freshly and tasty. A little gem of a stop and an independent rather than chain offering. If you are passing stop and support this Diner, it took me back to my childhood and we need to keep these little gems going.

    All you could want from a roadside cafe. Good food, good value. Fairly enormous portions, see this veggie breakfast

  • 4/5 O W D. 9 months ago on Google
    If you want a quick breakfast stop it's great - you order and a full English is brought to you about 3 minutes later. The only small issue is that this means that the food isn't freshly cooked to order... it's all tasty - don't get me wrong - and the staff are warm and friendly and helpful, but the bacon and sausages were on overcooked side for our liking. The toast was divine, as was the hash brown and the mushrooms were delicious. The decor is like an American roadside diner with some interesting and quirky features. Overall a great experience for convenience and speed but might order something different next time - the carvery and specials board look interesting.

    The quality of food was really bad. Scrambled egg looked like it was made of just egg whites and didn’t taste nice. The lady with red hair was really rude. When brought our meals, she asked if we wanted any sauce which we replied we didn’t want any, but after a while my boyfriend went over to a counter and asked the lady if we can have ketchup. The lady said to him with an attitude “ I asked you if you wanted any sauce”. We won’t be coming back there because of the food and miserable staff.

    Really disappointing. Meals were small for the price, all came out very quickly and seemed pre-cooked (which was confirmed by the piece of plastic wrap found in my husbands meal). Scrambled eggs were inedible, they were an odd colour, had an awful smooth custard like texture and no flavour. They also left puddle of liquid which made my toast a soggy mess. The service was not overly friendly. My husband really enjoyed the sausages but that is about the only positive thing I can say. Three hungry people including 2 big lads left a good portion of their meals. Would not recommend and certainly will not be going back.

    Stopped randomly 50 miles out from our destination as we were a bit early. Lovely food, had full English and salmon with scrambles eggs. Good service, and good value. Would recommend a stop here for no fuss, good quality breakfast.

    Lovely food. Fantastic staff and a great British atmosphere. Also If you like only fools and horses you'll feel right at home

    The staff at Mickey’s hosted me for 6Hours whilst I waited for the recovery of my vehicle. They were very kind and helpful serving me drink and tasty food. Would highly recommend! Thank you so much for looking after me.

    Been twice, both times as a biker stopping part way through a long journey in the lashing rain. Staff on both occasions have been really nice. To avoid getting the floor wet I drip-dried in the lobby and on entering, the staff took my drink order before I sat down. As soon as I had my gloves off, I already had a hot drink. Great food - great service, clean and I’m making it a regular stop. Thank you for your kindness and the good food.

    So glad we came in for lunch on the bike, it was pretty busy being a Sunday lunch and we were told there might be a delay on the food, although it arrived pretty promptly, was tasty & hot/fresh. We both went for 2 of the many cooked ‘breakfasts’, I’m not usually keen on the beans but these were good and not as rich and sugary as Heinz. Sausages tasted good and a nice runny egg too, fresh filter coffee and a decent tea…looking forward to a return soon 😊👍🏻

    Great food and good location. Been going in several times and it is always good.

  • 5/5 DO C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great dining place. Waiters and staff are friendly. Hand sanitizers at the entrance, social distancing route is clear. Tables been cleaned thoroughly after every customer. The service is quick and polite. Food and drinks selection is good, from good old dirty burgers (any sauces you want its there, no extra charge) to vegetarian options, chocolate fudge cake, waffles etc. The caramel latte is great. All in all a good experience, enjoyed it A+++++

  • 5/5 Andy 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff and looked after us very well. 9 of us so a lot to deal with but all done perfect. They have a large and varied menu so something for everyone and good prices plus big plates.

  • 3/5 Jorg B. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been visiting this restaurant for about ten years and was there again this morning for breakfast. But we're coming here less and less often as it gets very boring to eat the same stuff for ten years. The breakfast is solid, but nothing extraordinary. Only the mushrooms and eggs are cooked from scratch and fresh. They serve cheap sausage and bacon, beans from the tin, and potatoes from the freezer. Sunday roast tastes nice but again, nothing spectacular. I'm not too fond of the table always wet from the cleaning and the menus sticking to it. And what's horrible is the little Heinz ketchup bottle which is refilled 100dreds of times with whatever they fill it, and it looks disgusting. I'll probably come again in a few months, but not as often as I used to.
