"Uncle Mike’s Place started out as an old-school diner—a spot for eggs, bacon, pancakes, and coffee. But eventually they started incorporating Filipino breakfast items into the menu, and those are the reason you come here. The longanisa, tocino, and skirt steak platters are all delicious, and served with garlic rice and fried eggs. Plus, everyone gets a complimentary bowl of lugao when they sit down, which is just lovely." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
