My husband and I flew all the way from Iceland during a pandemic to attend my mother’s wedding, only to get food poisoning from this once stellar company. I’m writing this review today to share my personal experience with any upcoming folks who may consider Michael’s Catering for their next event.
The wedding reception was held at the St. Michael’s Center / Hall in Oregon Ohio on March 13th 2021 and Michael’s Catering is the contracted company, therefore they had to be used. Which in previous years for other events our family has had (weddings, graduations, funerals, holiday parties

Alex and I used Michael’s catering for our wedding back on October 22, 2021. We were impressed with everything. The food was amazing along with the service and bartending. We couldn’t have asked for a better caterer. Everyone had nothing but wonderful things to say about the food. It was so good.

I have been going here for years. Order food today and was really disappointed the meat was dry and hardly any chesse on the sandwich. Seems ever since Mike's hasn't owned it the new owners really forgot why he started this business to give his customer quality food. Mike would of never let the sandwich I was served today leave the kitchen. I'm sad to see how this restaurant has gone down.

Great lunch food and desserts. Quick in and out with amazing customer service and interactions. The servers went out of their way to help us out and give us all the information we asked for. Definitely a place to visit on the East side. While you're there, stop and check out all the local Toledo history on display.

Sick of cooking or taking out food and getting it home and finding it cold or soggy?? Check out Michael's family meals. You can pick from 5 different meals that change weekly and they serve 4-6 people. You bake it at home and it's hot and ready at no time.
We had the extremely delicious Cheesy Potato's and Ham. Creamy cheesy potatoes with ham and it takes homemade!!
Thanks Michael's for a fabulous meal.

One of my absolute favorite places in Toledo! Truly a gem with plenty of Toledo history. The Chicken Dumpling Soup is by far my favorite item in the cafe. The cup size is great and filling and the prices overall are affordable.
When it comes to the desserts - honestly every single thing I have tried has been amazing. The oatmeal cookies being my favorite. You also can call ahead to order dessert for an event or gathering!
The shop is in the historic Weber Block building and after you get your food, you can sit anywhere in the hall! My favorite spot is at the end by the plants and window - there

I suppose if you have a typical American diet you might enjoy their baked goods but we found them much too sweet and heavy. There was nothing light, nothing fluffy, no flavors that could be discerned above the sugar. I bought the Mississippi Mud Pie, an Italian Cream Cake, a chocolate chip cheesecake, a cherry cheesecake, a chocolate decadence cake, and a box of assorted pastries. More than half of it was thrown away. It wasn't enjoyable enough to eat. When I think pastries, I think of something flaky and delicate and soft...you should taste the flavor and the sweetness at just about the same

Came by around 4pm and it was very empty! I just wanted to get something to share with my fiancé, and I ordered a slice of the chocolate decadence cake and an m&m cookie sandwich. I didn't try the sandwich but the cake was delicious! brownie base with chocolate and vanilla (white chocolate?) mousse. the service was a little slow, there seemed to be only one girl working the counter but I saw quite a few employees moving in the back.

Waited 20 minutes for my lunch and I got it back to my office and it wasn't prepared as I ordered, how can you forget bacon on a club???.Slow service on top of a poorly prepared meal gives it a 1*. I've taken a break from Michael's before because of poor service and quality of food and I will again, see ya in 2019.

Went to Michael's from out of town for a late lunch with my aunt who is a regular. First, I was really touched by how many staff knew my aunt by name, they care about customers and much of the staff has been around a long time. I later learned from my aunt that Michael's has operated with profit-sharing for a while, "before it was cool" I would say. Very nice touch to see staff so involved, engaged, and friendly.
Unique environment in a sort of enclosed mall that had been a department store. Kind of odd. Drafty. Food-courtish feel which is funny considering it's the only

I go to Michael's just about every week for lunch. It is phenomenal every time I go. I typically get the spring salad (or the salmon salad when the special is available) with the French dressing. The salads are always big and filling! I've gotten a couple wraps and tried a few soups and they are also phenomenal!
You get a roll with every salad and they are always fresh and delicious! I believe they cater and I would imagine that is just as good! You can call in an order to go or sit in an area just outside of the area where you order. If you're in Toledo, this place is a must visit

STAY FAR AWAY ! I am from out of town and ordered breakfast treats to be delivered to a grieving family in the Toledo Ohio area. I was charged $9.75 per person (15 people) and a $15.00 delivery fee. What was delivered for my order of $150.00 + was beyond embarrassing that I am still getting calls from the people who were there expressing disappointment and disbelief. So...what do you get for $150.00? a Box of Joe Coffee, a 16" tray of DANISH, scones, tiny muffins (filed on a 16" tray) and 7 bagels with cream cheese (total of 1.5 danish/bagels per person) 15 small bottles of juice

Love that everything is homemade! Their always pay attention to detail. Th sopita is my favorite soup with th fresh made bun! Th desserts are amazing and bountiful. I do have to say that th salads are the least of my favorites... The lettuce to other ingredients ratio is way off if you ask me, too much lettuce not enough meat/veggies. Ive had two different chicken salads but they both tasted the same. The lettuce and veggies have always been crip and cold. Not to mention th homemade salad dressings! Some things are a bit pricy (cup/bowl of soup that's mostly broth) but I don't really

The fresh baked bread is fantastic, but the lunch food is the real treat here!
Try the California Wrap. It comes loaded with hunks of succulent turkey (not deli meat, actually chuncked turkey breast meat), avacado, crispy bacon, lettuce, veggies and creamy sauce. It's sooo good. Plus it's HUGE! It's a bit pricey, but it's essentially two meals in one, as a half can fill you up. So, it;s good for splitting or for saving for later.
The homemade soups are also just outstanding, and you get to eat in the weird, old school ambiance of the East Side History Museum. You'll

This bakery/sandwich shop is simply delicious. I usually eat lunch there once a month. I always get the rocky mountain sandwich, and it's one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. Their soup is also great, so far I've tried the chicken and dumpling, and cream of mushroom. The cream of mushroom was amazing. Every sandwich comes w/ chips, a pickle, and roll. Everything is made fresh, and you can easily taste it in any of their breads, brownies, cookies, or rolls. My favorite lunch spot in Toledo.

The best quality of food in town. EVERYTHING is homemade... even their soup stock! The prices match the quality and quantity of all their menu items. Don't shy away because of the lack of parking ( sorry but it is true ) as you will miss out on true gourmet delight. I have also done special orders where my guests couldn't stop complimenting the food. You cannot go wrong using Chef Michael and his family/team.
I admit... I do not eat desserts so that is not included on my review.. sorry!
