Sun 8/25: Mike & Ronda's The Place (51st Ave & Bell)

This is such a good breakfast (and lunch) spot. It’s my dad’s favorite place to eat. There are a couple locations in Flagstaff as well (the one on Route 66 is better than Milton, by the way). This location used to be down the street in a smaller space, but they were always packed and could never accommodate everyone, so they moved to a larger building a year or so ago. And they still fill up!

My family and I went for brunch on Sunday (10:30ish) and it was very busy. We waited for around 30 minutes. As we were waiting outside, someone dropped their to-go container of sausage gravy. The guy went back inside so we figured he told the hostess there was a spill. For several minutes we watched people walk by, dodging or nearly stepping in the gravy. Then a lady and her daughter stepped in it. The woman was obviously not happy and went inside to get someone to clean it up. A guy came out right away with a towel. A mop would have made more sense. But anyway, it was our turn to be seated.

We were seated in a booth near the middle of the restaurant. There was a vent blowing our way and it felt cold. Our server came over with silverware, read off a number of specials they had that day, and took our drink order. When she came back with the drinks, I ordered a breakfast burro with bacon and cheddar cheese (you can get veggies and other stuff in it but I keep it simple) and asked for fruit rather than hashbrowns or breakfast potatoes.

It did not take very long to get our food. Everything was delicious. I really like their tortillas. I ate about ¾ of the burrito. They are filling! The fruit consisted of cantaloupe, pineapple, red grapes, honeydew, and oranges. The honeydew was crunchy but I don’t much care for honeydew anyway. I like that their drink cups are so large. Fewer refills required. Our server was really good. She brought us the check and collected payment in a timely manner. Can’t wait to go back and get waffles!
