We have been coming here for years and absolutely love it! My favorite is the golden nuggets or the everything omelet. The scones are to die for! I ordered 10 scones to go and use them for Navajo tacos. The staff is awesome and attentive. Im a littlesad that the no longer serve creamer and now only have half and half but the food is worth it!
Great place to eat. Clean, good service, and great food. I would give it 5 stars but the pancakes were just OK. I would definitely come back next time I'm in Salt Lake City.
Been a long time since we last eaten here. Had the corn beef hash plate at breakfast. Oh man!! The best I've ever had. Delicious as we always remember. Love their Salmon lunch as well. Thank you.
This place is exactly what you would expect with a miners coal cart sitting outside the entrance... The food is good and hot and they get your egg order correct. There is nothing fancy on the menu but good old fashioned breakfast is my favorite. Although mywife is on a no carb and no sugar diet which works well for but the challenge was hard to meet We still had a great time in afriendly little cafe just off the freeway....
Was my first time here and heard good things from my husband so was excited to try. However, the menu seemed pretty limited as far as menu items. All the pasta choices only had 1 sauce, marinara. Most dinners are just basic meat and potato items andsandwiches. The potatoes were very bland and the corn was mushy. The steak tasted burnt. We waited a VERY long time for our foodto come out plus our food was sitting on the counter for about 10 minutes before our waitress brought it out. Not only that but2 of the food items were wrong. I will not be coming here again.

I grew up with this place, so I guess I am biased, but give midvale mining co. a try! portions are a bit big, but for an breakfast with friends who like to eat classic American comfort, they cannot go wrong. I recommend the south of the border with roasted hash browns to the breakfast, it is a knockout!
From the city dwellers, skip! I like to try local places when I'm on my way instead of getting chains at home. I ordered a western omelette, better known as a Denver omelet. it came generic power singles on the top as the cheese it was so wye and runny inside I couldn't get it down and I expect the half of food poisoning later tonight. the toast was both rocky and mushy. I couldn't even put jam on it because it's just broken. the hathbrowns were absolutely tasteless and were a temp and texture that suggested that they were unfinished from another customer that I expressed to the waitress that I was not satisfied my meal and she knew it away from me without asking...more
Big portions. It's like homecoming x 2, their portions are so huge that you can eat your left overs as another meal. I like their prime rib Fridays and my son likes the Long Bean (French dip). It's always busy and their parking lot is always full, that tells you something. They have a big menu so I'm sure you will find something you like.
CAVE-IN !!!. Went for dinner at 4 PM. They don't serve dinner until 5. Ordered a Rueben and fish and chips off the lunch options. The Rueben tasted like it had been prepared for lunch and reheated in the microwave...you know, hotter inside than the outside. Not good. The fries were fresh and well prepared. My wife's fish was an experience. Two pieces were very good, and the third tasted funny The meat was a completely different color and tasted off. The scones and honey butter were the best we have ever had. BOTTOM LINE...a good stop for some coffee and the wonderful scones.
Simply Awesom. We stayed across the street from the Midvale Mining Café on a Thursday night and said let's give it a try On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays there are two specials: a rib-eye or a fish(can't remember which one Salmon I think). Maribeth and I chose the rib-eye($14.95), which included a homemade beef barely soup and(plus some out-of-this world fried bread and some local honey and butter). Oh, the baked potatoe. The server, Cameron(a native of SLC)was simply grand. We wondered who ate there and, of course, he pointed out the thousand of hotel rooms and many natives. The outside is a welcome site--great plants and a mining cart. We can't say enough for this splendid bit of...read more
