Uncle Mike's Place

If it’s your first time, definitely try the Longanisa; if you’re coming back for seconds, branch out to the Tocino . (Enjoy the Lugaw, and make sure to choose their garlic fried rice , not hash-browns!)

Coming from the SF Bay Area, I was very impressed with the Filipino breakfast here. Loved the longanisa and spicy spam combo. And the lugado they serve first is top notch. Highly recommend this place.

Warm up with a bowl of lugao (chicken rice soup ), try some tocino (Filipino bacon ) with your eggs or go whole-hog with a side of spicy fried Spam. Read more

When a diner owner marries a Filipina... you get burgers and fries and omelets and coffee and full Filipino breakfasts . Try the longanisa, an amazing wine-cured sausage . Free lugao in the AM.

Our top choice? The Tocino combo. A platter full of anise wine-cured pork shoulder , fried garlic rice topped with two eggs any style and a side of salsa .  Read more

Pork shoulder are great. I also enjoyed the skirt steak . I would recommend any of the Philippine combo breakfasts . You can choose up to two traditional dishes to combine.

This is one of my favorite places in the city to grab some Filipino breakfast . Everything on the menu is delicious, and you usually get free lugaw too!

This place is so good. The lugao is great for hangovers. The longanisa and tocino are so flavorful.

Filipino breakfast is big enough for two people. I'd go with the steak . Loved the congee like thing they serve you before the meal.

The new. Filipino. Style breakfast is definitely better I love it and also that will come with a nice soup

Huge portions of Good tasting Food.Your mistake if you do stop and get your eat on...

An amazing breakfast spot . Everything is delicious and in big portions . Great place to fuel up before sight seeing.

The rice porridge is amazing. love the garlic bits. Tocino is so tender too!

The Tocino and Bangusa Combo plus Longonisa on the side is the absolute way to go ????

As a tourist , worth venturing a little off the beaten track for this Filipino breakfast - the skirt steak was delicious

The breakfast plates are huge. As a family of 4 we couldn’t finish 2 plates for breakfast .

Most everything is amazing, but I particularly love the Tocino and the grits

When you can’t decide what to get, always get a combo.

everyone says get the filipino breakfast , which i also endorse, but you HAVVVE to try the blueberry pancakes ...oh-em-gee. oh! and the lemon and lime juice , delicious!

longaniza and tocino and rice (and egg )...oh my! i will only eat the Filipino breakfast here. it's too good to try anything else.

The Tocino is absolutely amazing. Definitely try

The Filipino plates come with champorado. And free lugaw .

Come with an empty belly and try the skirt steak .

The skirt steak anise sausage and garlic rice are very tasty The portions are huge

The Tocino breakfast is the best

Uncle Mike and the hospitality here is great! Longanisa and Tocino are my favorite!

I love their food been coming here for years! Try the garlic rice !

Great Breakfast Spot . The Taste of a Home Cooked Filipino Breakfast eith Amazing Sides.

They have awesome longanisa and garlic fried rice ! Their champurrado is free too and sweetened with condensed milk ! YUM!

Skirt steak was nice and juicy and cooked perfectly but no filipino flavor

Marinated skirt steak , garlic rice , & lugao . The best.

The chicken rice soup is both free and excellent.

Get the Longanisa Breakfast . Unreal chorizo

The skirt steak is where it's at.

Topsolog is very good. Filipino food main menu. Ruby the waitress is very good.

Get the lugaw (rice porridge ) instead of soup when available. They have it during weekend, but sometimes weekday too.
