Ever since the diner on Emmons Ave, El Greco, closed down, I am upset. Their location, view and cheesecakes were good but now only in memories. So we were looking for an alternate diner so here we are at Mirage.
We ordered a portion of buffalo wings, 3 beers, 3 DLX burgers. Our server was a nice lady, I would give 4-5 stars to service from the beginning to the end but the food lessens the overall rating.
Wings were on the table within 3-4 minutes after ordering, they seemed like soaked in a barbecue sauce or ketchup rather than buffalo, my brother tried one and he mentioned them as being one of the worst wings he has ever tried so i did not even bother. You can skip the wings.
We had better expectations of burgers. The size and french fries on the side looked okay and tasted okay. 2 stars to burgers.
Beers are cold enough, parking lot is a plus, servers are working hard. I was so full to try desserts so I will go back again for fries, beers and desserts but not for burgers or wings.
I wish I didn't have to write this review about Mirage diner since the place is literally 3 blocks from my house and the only diner which is walking distance.
Last night was the absolute last time I am ever going here, EVER! There were many signs leading up to the epic ending.
When first entering the diner my wife, 5 month baby, and I came in through the handicap entrance because of the stroller. Essentially you are entering the establishment from the back entrance. I told my wife to wait as I walked to the front to get seated. I explained to the maitre'd that we had a stroller. He looked at me like I have 3 heads. "Oh, oh sorry sir we usually don't have people come here with strollers. I'm not sure where to place you." I had to explain to him where we can sit and how to slightly adjust the table. STRIKE 1.
After settling in my wife and I are looking through the menu. We over heard the table behind us complaining about their Penne Ala Vodka dish. " This dish is disgusting. The plate is cold and inedible." STRIKE 2
I decided to order the chicken, cheddar, and mushroom panini with curly fries. Found some hair in my sandwich as I swift through it. NASTY! As we finish our meal and start walking home, I start feeling very nauseous and light headed. By the time I get home I begin puking violently. Mirage Diner's food had created FOOD POISONING!! I puked 5 times through out the night and they had ruined my weekend. I would sue the place if I can clearly show evidence that they created this event.
Please do not go to MIRAGE DINER as this place is the worst food establishment in Midwood/Kings Highway.
For a diner, I didn't expect that much. The menu had a good selection of cheeses and veggies for the omelettes. Got feta and spinach. It was flavorful but a tad dry.
The potatoes were pretty good although they use some weird brand of ketchup that kind of made them not so good. Toast was wonder bread. Service was slow but thorough. Prices were decent. Bathroom kind of nasty.
Probably would not return.
I went back for a burger and onion rings and, man, did it hit the spot. My friend got the corned beef, which was also excellent. Not all diners still do the cole slaw and pickles right, but they've got it.
At the time of this review I am the Duke. So my 2 star should speak volumes.
The food is average at best and terrible sometimes. But for my purposes it is suitable. I mean how hard is it to make eggs.
The service is what pisses me off. The host is inept. If there is any crowd at all he looses all base with reality. One person get told 10 mins another gets told no wait. The next person to talk in may be told it's 1985? Who knows with this guy. If he manages to catch on to you being irritated with the wait he will tell you to wait more.
Miserable waitstaff only helps the ambience.
I've suffered my last bad service experience. Adios Mirage
3 stars no more, no less!!!!! This place looks like a typical grease pit diner. The wait staff are awesome!! Got a burger & fries. Food was good!! The issue was the women's bathroom. N A S T Y. Unclean. Gross. I will stick to oasis on flatbush.
I came here around 10am on a weekday, it had quite a few diners in there. The diner itself is nice but a little outdated. We sat at a booth and our waiter came over to us and brought us some coffees and water. We both ordered our meals a few minutes later. The food came out quick and tasted good, but nothing spectacular. The prices were kind of expensive and our server could of been friendlier.
As far as diners go, this one is OK. I have never been super impressed with the food, I enjoy the dessert much more. However, the staff are very friendly, attentive, and accommodating.
