Deeeeelish eggs benny! The server, who was absolutely charming, suggested the seafood Benny (from the specials of the day menu), WOW! Great value, service and cleanliness. 5 stars!

Nice

Greg W.

Great food, the service was good but not good enough for a fifth star. The ambience is excellent. Nice and relaxing.

David Anderson

The food is incredible with the best eggs Benny in town in my opinion. It's the thick sliced, tender ham combined with the well toasted English muffin and house made hollandaise that makes it exceptional. The place is small but very well laid out and has a hometown feel to it and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. Youd be missing out if you didn't try it.

Laurence

Great "Full Monte" Cristo

Sandra VARDY

I had the breakfast burrito with a side of hollandaise sauce. Absolutely excellent much like the service

Howard Rees

Busy and for good reason - it was lovely. Coffee wasnt the best but everything else was wonderful.

Russell Munday

Chris Rebeyka

Wonderful little eatery, nicely sized breakfast with friendly fast service.

Laura Janssen

Yummy food here. I always love coming for breakfast. Also my sister's fav spot for breakfast in town. Nice cozy but busy

John Frisch

Gabrielle Dickert (Gabby)

This place should have a higher rating. Wow! I had the chicken and waffles and it was genuinely the best waffle I ever had. Chicken was incredible, hollandaise was light but delicious. Breakfast potatoes were classic diner style but everything I wanted. The house hot sauce was spicy but delicious and accented the food really well. Will definitely be returning!

Tim Wakeling

Good food and price. Staff was very good.

Aleisha Parsons

Nuclear Squid!!

The french toast is soooo good, and comes in portions that would resemble a quarter-baguette, like the ones you would get for store-bought garlic bread. I'd recommend the three-slice if you are quite hungry or are looking for a bite to take home.

skye bentley

Great veggie bennie

Greg Lindstrom

The food is good. It’s not amazing, but you’ll leave full and happy. However, my last experience was lacklustre. My fiancé and I were seated and waited about 15 minutes before we were given a menu. We waited another 15 minutes for our drink order to be taken, by which point we had our respective breakfasts ready to order as well. There were no napkins on the table (aside from the ones our cutlery was wrapped in), and I didn’t get a spoon to stir the cream and sugar into my coffee. Staff were friendly, the FOH just seemed to be severely understaffed, which is unfortunate as the Farmer’s Market is a block or two away and Michael’s is one of 2 breakfast spots nearby to fill up pre or post market shopping. This isn’t going to prevent me from dining here again, as I do enjoy the generous breakfast dishes. Hopefully just a one off experience.

Bryan Kent

Nice hash browns but tasteless bacon and over cooked eggs. Wouldn't go back.

Stacia B

Best breakfast place in the Comox Valley hands down, great service great food.

Ron Taylor

Amazing breakfast place, everytime I'm in town I try to come here

Wilson Lin

Very baby friendly and great staff

Darryl Grossauer

The best breakfast decision you’ll ever make is coming here. Service and food is always incredible. I always recommend the chicken and waffles but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. I am so happy to finally be back indoors now 10/10 would recommend. -Chloe ❤️????

This is by far my favorite Breakfast / Brunch in the Comox Valley. I try and go at lease once a month with friends and family for their delirious eggs bennys

Mac Moon

Sandwich was very tasty. Salad was not so great. I had the caesar salad

Brandee Mills

Tasty food, good service, and reasonable prices. I'll definitely be going back the next time I'm in town. Even had a few toys for my daughter to keep her occupied.

Gavin Duggan

Selby Props

45 minute wait, server didnt come back to the table once to see if I needed anythi g or to lrt me know why food was taking so long. Food was good though but not going back.

Erik Pinheiro

Mike McGinnis

Ana Perusquia

Another great breakfast place. You get lots of food for the price you pay. The decor is safely described as old-timey eclectic and perhaps borders on very busy but the food is good so whatevs. I won't go so far as to say the service is bad because it's not but on one particular morning when it was busy, I had to wait until the bill to get another cup of coffee. She was new though and it doesn't take away from the fact you should go here to eat. REDUCED STARS: So I step into the restaurant for another delicious breakfast and wait to be served, as says the sign. The place isn't full at all. That is to say, it wasn't busy at all, so the staff wasn't busy. I'd say about a 1/3 of the tables had customers. And a customer up at the till sitting down with her back to us on her phone. I waited, standing, at the door that dingle dinged when I came in, for over 5 minutes before I decided that maybe the waitress had an emergency she had to attend to and I'll just seat myself. I sat down at a table that was closest to that one customer on her phone. Waited another few minutes and nothing. Then another group of people came in. The woman on her phone stands up to reveal she was the waitress all along and starts doing her job again. Seats the group and takes their initial order. Once she comes back out with their drinks does she finally realize we were there and asks us almost jokingly if she has helped us yet. Not impressed.

I've eaten at Micheal's before, food was good in the past. Today, we stood at the door for over five (closer to ten) minutes with zero acknowledgement from the staff that looked right through us and came within literal elbow distance. Front tables were full, but we were the only party waiting... Wait staff came within touching distance a dozen times and ignored any attempt from our part to get their attention. They liked to collect behind the bar and look at us, but nary a "Good Morning" attempt was made... Not until we walked out did a young waitress come running; too little too late... Piss poor service makes me wonder if the place has gone downhill - if not, it's on its way... Doubt I'll go back to place where your business isn't wanted. We opted to wait in line at EarlyBird, which also speaks volumes that their line was out the door.

Delicious Belgian waffle! Will go again

luke sample

Wow, this place has new life in it! Seriously, the old owners are gone and a new couple have had it for a couple months. The food is amazing. The new owners are just what Courtenay needs more of. We had Benedicts and the kids had piles of eggs, meat and pancakes. Everything was great. Went back 2 or 3 days later for coffee and a light breakfast. Same delicious food and attentive staff/owners.

The people were super polite and welcome when we came in. The French toast was really good. Personally I wasn't a big fan of the hash browns that came with my wife's food, but she liked them, so thats all that matters.

Scott Friel

Great food, plenty of options, amazing service, not too bad on the wallet (6-14$), didn't need to wait more than two min to be seated and the place was almost full. It is a small but cozy joint, so don't expect luxurious seatings. Would definitely recommend to anyone, especially other breakfast or brunch lovers.

Great place for brunch

Garrett Flawse

We ate breakfast here and it seems a really popular place. Yet the coffee was not fresh.

Meesh

An excellent, excellent breakfast joint. Went during a weekend trip and I'm so glad we landed in this restaurant. Overheard the owner say she recently took over the place with her partner because she sensed it had a good energy. It seemed to me that actually she's the source of good energy. They're really doing a fantastic job and you can feel it. My boyfriend cleaned his plate--something he rarely does. Our eggs were cooked to perfection and the hash was fresh and crispy. Although we went right when it opened, the place filled up fast!

The music, ambiance and the servers were great. The food was delicious and unexpected. My wife fell in love with the seafood omelette and I tried chicken & waffle for the first time and couldn’t have ask for better. Great little place that we will go back very soon.

Kevin Lo

Charlotte Schoch

Went for brunch. Was surprised how many people were in there on a Wednesday morning. I tried the farmers omelette. Wasn't a fan of the ham so I picked out. Still tasted a bit off, I may not have liked the sausage either. BF thought I was crazy as he liked. Other reason for a lost star.. they had a crumby selection & brands of tea. Spend the extra buck &Ebro game in the good stuff. Christine was great though!

Pacific NorthWest Living

This has been my favourite breakfast place for years, sad to say. Quality took a nose dive. Cold. And a staple in my food, upon calling and letting someone know they hung up on me. Terrified as had I not noticed the hard thing in my mouth and fished it out I would’ve swallowed a staple. Disappointing and scary experience.

This is delightful restaurant that specializes in brunch foods. The menu has a lot of options and they serve various beverages. So far every meal I've had has been exceptional, I highly recommend this place for a good meal. It can get busy, but it's definitely worth the wait.

It's a small establishment with limited seating. I went there early, with my daughter, to meet my friend for brunch. They said it would take 10 min. for a table and that is precisely how long we waited. I shouldn't have cream in my coffee and they had almond milk as an alternative. Everything we ate was delicious and our brunch started us off for a productive completion of our day. I was super satisfied with my visit.

Excellent brunch spot with some really interesting items. The specials keep bringing us back! So difficult to choose my fave - could be the duck breakfast sandwich or pulled pork benny. The veggie and vegan menu options sound really good too. May have had a couple of cheeky brunch cocktails as a treat!

cory mac

Great breakfast place, my kids love going here

Jack Surgenor

Ralf Korus

Michael's staff is friendly, efficient & fast enough, the location centrally convenient with ample on-street parking, the doorway moderately accessible (no steps, no high threshold, but door just typical 3'-3" width & lacking door opener/accessible handle [round knobs]), the woodsy-warm venue's walls filled with Maxfield Parrish and U.S.Parks Service & French Art-Nouveau posters, the food is fresh, generous & tasty, and the prices reasonable. I'd be glad to return here.

Christine Garland

Great variety of Eggs Benedict,with friendly, but busy staff. Good food to break a blood test induced fast.

Sarah Gerbinski

Delicious! Breakfast/brunch in a cozy little cafe... walls covered in Art Nouveau and other eclectic bits of art, with antique stained-glass window hangings scattered about. It's a bit dark inside, but that adds to the coziness. Breakfast is served with a bottle of wonderful homemade carrot-onion-habanero salsa... try it with the hashbrowns and eggs, it's got a great slow-burn flavour.

Pamela Chaney

Danielle Byers

Food is always fresh. Best hash browns ever deep fried I’m guessing. Eggs Benny’s are great with rich hollandsise. Everything seems like the chef cares.

Robert George

Enjoyed the new room. Interesting menu.

Dylan Harris

This place was substantially better as Michael's off Main. Don't know why all of the old staff had to go because they were awesome. The menu changed entirely and when asked to make a basic crepe with eggs/bacon, it apparently couldn't be done. I thought this was unusual for a breakfast joint. Miss the old aesthetic with the quirky artwork too. Overall severely underwhelmed with this place, can say confidently that none of my friends or I will be coming back which sucks. :(

As someone who rides a bike all year around and supports bike lanes I would never support your business .

Markus Dubious

Inexplicably closed when it was supposed to be open.

Steve Martin

Unreal breakfast, not cheap but great quality and large portion sizes more than make up for it.

Ralf Schroeder

A little gem in the Comox Valley. Good food and friendly staff make this place a decent way to spend a breakfast or brunch. The prices are not too crazy and the food seems like the ingredients could be from your mum's cupboards.

Corey Wood

Came for a pop up event! Was a great vibe, most of the food was delicious. Tapas and cocktails city pricing but had a good time.

J Locus

Had some time to kill in Courtenay and stopped in here for a bite. The place was buzzing, very lively for a Sunday morning. Cool vibes, friendly staff, good atmosphere. The fried chicken sandwich was unreal, I’d definitely recommend. Everything from the pickle to the bun, it was great. Make sure to try the house tea, perfect hit for a summer thirst.

Kevin Snaden

Excellent service. Spuds were overcooked but all else was terrific

Jeff Levesque

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff! The chicken and waffles was fantastic with just the right amount of sweet and savoury. The mushroom toast was delish. The rest of the menu looks great with bennies and classic bacon and eggs. Looking forward to going back soon to try some of the fun sounding breakfast cocktails!

They bought Michaels Off Main in the middle of the pandemic and have been able to create something new and exciting that Comox desperately needed!

Rob F

In a town full of good breakfast joints, this place is in a class of its own. Ignore the photos and the reviews from before the pandemic. New ownership has given the place a new lease on life. Whether you're a carnivore, a vegan or gluten sensitive, you'll find drool-worthy dishes that use local, seasonal ingredients and are accompanied by creative alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink options. (Bottomless drip coffee: yes. Fancy-pants lattes and espresso drinks: no.) For appetites large and small; for people wanting to tuck into a fresh take on a familiar plate or to step outside their comfort zone; for genuinely friendly service and unmatched atmosphere, treat yourself to Off Main. If only they did dinner too!

Amazing service, extremely tasty eats, best chicken and waffles ever. The new owners have done a great job updating the decor and have created a very comfortable and visually pleasing environment to kick back and fill that void in your stomach. This is the place!

Jill Olsson

Great food as usual. Nice plce for brunch.

Fred Fredfred

Had lunch there...and then 2 hours later, developed explosive diarrhea! I normally wouldn't leave a review for something like that, but when I called the restaurant to let them know (nicely), the lady was condescending, stating "it doesn't happen that fast". Well, let me tell you, I know my body very well and it does happen that fast with me. I didn't expect anything, thought you would appreciate knowing....I know I would as a business owner!! You should listen to your customers a little more. I gave it two stars because of the very nice waitress.

Lester Manuel

Every week great service and great food. Must see for any food lovers.

Updating due to new ownership and finally having had the chance to check it out. Fantastic. Just fantastic. Siobhan and Harlan have really made this place their own and have made so many positive changes. The food is top notch, the drinks are absolutely sublime and the atmosphere is just..:..great. The accent wall with the designs on it! Ah! Can’t say enough nice things about it. Will be back time and time again. So glad to see this place with a breathe of fresh life in it.

Teresa Streeton

Great bunch place. Had daily special crab cakes eggs Benny. Very funky interior like Grandma's house from 1910.

Aonghas Valandil

Everything was over cooked. Scrambled eggs looked like an omelette with out filling or cheese, it was dry and way over cooked it was brown on the outside. Bacon and sausage way over cooked reminded me of bacon bits, sausage crispy at the ends. Don't know how they managed to over cook everything but they did!

Aerin Queenan

This place has a great feel, and great food. It's friendly, warm and just a classic spot. My breakfast was delicious, but in particular I want to focus on the sausage. This could have been the most delicious sausage I've ever had, and I've had a lot of sausage. It was the "Tannadice Sausage", and if you're from Vancouver Island you might be familiar with this local farm, but I was not. When I am back on Vancouver Island I will go out of my way to get to Michael's Off Main and chow down on some tasty breakfast!

Great friendly staff, hence the 4 stars. Had the pork belly benny on a slower weekday and food was extremely slow for the number of tables in use: 4. I really wanted to be impressed by the food but was not; pork belly had a nice sear on it but hollandaise fell flat.

It took awhile to get food but the service was great and the food is excellent. Definitely try the pork belly.

My favourite place to go when I'm in town.
