Michno's Cafe

My pals and I had a real good time here. Good food freshly made (the Reuben sandwich was huge) cold beer, and friendly people. You've heard of 6 degrees of separation? Our experience was 2 degrees of separation-we didn't know anyone there, but we all had mutual friends and fun memories. A great place to go for an inexpensive get together. I'm looking for any excuse to return.

Surprisingly no current reviews.... Maybe because no one wants to leak where the best Friday fish dinners are..,. Lord we know it gets crowded enough on Fridays without broadcasting it. Hands down some of the best fried fish I've ever had, and I've had it all the way up the east coast to Maine...Since Covid the menu has gotten a bit smaller, prices up alittle like everywhere, but the Cod dinner is still a great value and kicking butt. Big portion of lightly breaded cod with your choice of sides ( which is a really nice option for a bar) I usually get salad and grilled veggies. They also have a pretty great bar burger and fries.... but we go for the fish...the atmosphere's calm, regulars drinking, sports on the tube, and staff is always friendly. My only complaint and it is wee... don't like the tartar.. not sure why, it's just not that good...not worthy of that fish anyway... I either bring my own or opt for lemon and hot sauce..... During lent, I call ahead to make sure they still have fish cuz well... IYKYK . Trust me

If you are missing a gray haired old man - well I found a lot of them here during lunch.I honestly thought I wrote a review already since this is my second time coming. Typical dive bar with good food and good price for what you are getting.Looks like the have a theme everyday:Monday - $1/10oz draft beer and sliders ($1 beef/$1.50 chicken/$2 fish)Tuesday - ladies night (happy hour) 9pm to close and $1 tacosWednesday: $4 bombsThursday - S.I.N nightI'm pretty sure there's more - I happen to see it posted on a mirror. Enjoy helping keep local small business open and running.Happy eating!!!

Very good place to choose, most of their food is very good to me, Last time i went, did not like the steak sub, said no onions and pickles and still got onions. They make the sub very very sweet and the guy said that I did not say no onions, but that is ok, it was just one time. My uncle also won $150 on a 2 dollar ticket which was awesome!

We had some time to kill before the Redford Theater opened. We usually hit Sandy's on the beach for fish and chips but hit Scotty Simpsons instead. After eating we were looking for a drink before the movie and we found them. We made in time for happy hour. I'm not sure of all the drinks but they have 2 dollar pints. The bartender was incredibly friendly and the customers at the bar sang praises for their fish dinner. After chatting for a bit we went out to their patio. We loved it. It's enclosed and very clean. The bar had a northern Michigan feel.We are then further shown how the customers behave at this bar. A guy comes over and asks if it would bother us if he smoked and after we said no he made sure he was at a distance from us. Although its a bit of a ways from Royal Oak, I would love to come back and eat here. Solid 4 stars.

We were looking for a lunch stop before heading over to the Redford Theater to catch a weekend matinee. We quickly realized that the city of Redford stood between us and the movie theater and comically realized Redford's dining choices on yelp were pretty much all bars.Michno's had good reviews. Their Reuben, always a Ken fav, was mentioned. I called to see if they were open and serving lunch, any got a smart Alec reply (she thought I was joking then said she 'I'm looking forward to seeing you, Liz!' Ooooh, darn caller ID!). Yep, we were in for some fun!Large, open place. A couple of diehard patrons. The woman I spoke to cried 'Liz!' (Safe to assume because I was the only other woman besides her and the woman owner) and was friendly as hell. We sat at the bar and split a coney, the Reuben, and a burger. Plus a beer each. Lots of food, but we wanted to get the flavor of the place. And that flavor was goooood. Nothing fancy. Nothing pretentious. Just straight-forward basic, tasty good and cold beer served by nice folks..We'd return. Heck, we already have.

Your typical friendly neighborhood sports bar with people young and old. Lots of TV's showing the game along with a VERY large HD projection TV (very nice picture my I add) On Monday nights the big screen plays host to Wii video games. So if you want to try playing Wii bowling or golf on a wall size screen, this is the place.Very good beer battered fish and chips on Friday. In fact most of the food is good. Had an excellent white bean chicken chili there and the burgers can shame to those places that claim "best burgers in town" Michnos are just as good if not better.This summer they opened an outdoor seating area. OH, and free WiFi to boot.

Service was off. We started with a waitress who gave us menus, went to get our drinks (2 minutes) and then wanted to know if we were ready- hadn't really had a chance to peruse the menu- so with two minutes we were ready. We sat, sat, sat... About 7-10 minutes I waved down a different waitress ( they weren't busy - 3 tables in service and they were finishing up) . So I wanted the fish dinner and Mac cheese - no Mac cheese - it's offered after 4 pm , it was now 7 and none left. The waitress informed me that the week before it was gone by 6... Wouldn't you project your sales and make enough to get you through the evening??? Fish was very very good. Fresh. Perfect breading to fish ratio. The pieces were thin and flaky. The fries were typical good fries. I didn't care for the slaw. It was too tangy.Hubs was going to have soup and sandwich- menu said ask about today's soup--- NO SOUP! So he settled for a stack ham cheese which was pretty good and fries.Now let's go back to Mac cheese. Remember I was told there wasn't any Mac cheese by our original waitress, BUT two patrons came in, sat at the bar and ordered fish MAC CHEESE and fries. And they got MAC CHEESE! WTH!??The atmosphere is great. I love places like this. It's a place where locals hang and everyone knows your name ( except if you're a newbie) it's casual and very comfortable. It may be our new MOB hangout : )I look forward to tring other items - especially this Mac chees!!!! Lol

If you want fish they quit serving it after 8:00pm I wish I knew I wouldn't of drove the 20 minute for the fish dinner. The cheese sticks were good and my friends Ruben was good as well

I've been coming to Michno's for years! Jason & Dawn are the best! My favorite menu items are the Michno Melt & Salmon Salad
